Thermoresponsive Sulfone and Sulfoxide-Containing Polyacrylamides

A series of thermoresponsive polyacrylamides containing sulfide, sulfone, or sulfoxide was successfully prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The thermal properties of polyacrylamides with sulfone or sulfoxide, which have not been studied before, were investigated for the first time. While poly[N-(2-(propylsulfonyl)ethyl)acrylamide] (P2SO2) with sulfone groups was water insoluble, poly[N-(2-(propylsulfinyl)ethyl)acrylamide] (P2SO) with sulfoxide groups was water soluble, indicating that the sulfoxide moiety is more hydrophilic than sulfone. By controlling the end of the polymer chain, we synthesized poly[N-(2-(ethylsulfonyl)ethyl)acrylamide] (P1SO2) and poly[N-(2-(butylsulfinyl)ethyl)acrylamide] (P3SO), which exhibit an lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water around 24–26°C. For adjusting a wide range of LCST, we synthesized the random copolymers by controlling the initial feed ratio of hydrophobic M2SO2 and hydrophilic M2SO. The amphiphilic block copolymers were also synthesized and assembled in water to yield the micelles. After adding H2O2 to this micellar solution, the hydrophobic block was oxidized and converted to a hydrophilic block, leading to the transformation of micelles to unimers.

Electrochemical Alkylation of Thiols

Synthesis of functionally substituted sulfides by alkylation of electrochemically generated thiolate on platinum or glassy carbon cathodes with organohalides of various structures is reported.

ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALLY SUBSTITUTED SULFIDES

A method of synthesis of functionally substituted sulfides by cathode electrolysis of thiols on platinum or carbon glass electrodes in the presence of organyl halides was developed.The method of the rotating disk electrode with ring showed that this process passes through the intermediate formation of a thiolate anion on the cathode, and its reaction with the organyl halide results in a high yield of sulfides.
