Thermosensitive poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-N-phenylacrylamide) (DMA-co-PhAm) copolymers were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in methanol/water mixtures at room temperature with methyl 2-chloropropionate as the initiator and CuCl/Me6TREN as the catalyst. The resultant DMA-co-PhAm copolymers had tailored compositions and controlled molecular weights, and their aqueous solutions underwent liquid-liquid phase separation upon heating. These phase transition temperatures, measured by the cloud point method, were dependent on polymer concentrations, compositions, and molecular weights. The efficiency of the thermally induced liquid-liquid phase transition, i.e., the yield of phase-separated polymer, increased with increasing solution temperature, suggesting this thermally induced liquid-liquid phase transition to be a continuous equilibrium process. The efficiency of phase separation could be enhanced by adding NaCl to the solution.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of α-keto-1,4-diamides using a tethered Ru/TsDPEN catalyst was achieved in high ee. Studies on derivatives identified the structural elements which lead to the highest enantioselectivities in the products. The α-keto-amide reduction products have been converted to a range of synthetically valuable derivatives.
Reactivity of secondary N-alkyl acrylamides in Morita–Baylis–Hillman reactions

The Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction of secondary N-alkyl acrylamides, discarded up to now from investigations of the scope of activated alkenes, was studied. Optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that a balance must be found between activation of the MBH coupling reaction and that of the undesired competitive aldehyde Cannizzaro reaction. Using 3-Hydroxyquinuclidine (3-HQD) in a 1:1 water-2-MeTHF mixture provides the appropriate conditions that were applicable to a wide range of diversely substituted secondary N-alkyl acrylamides and aromatic aldehydes, giving rise to novel amide-containing MBH adducts under mild and clean conditions.
