One-pot propagation of (Hetero)Arylamines: Modular synthesis of diverse Amino-di(hetero)arylamines

Formal propagation of (hetero)arylamine is achieved via a one-pot Buchwald–Hartwig C–N cross-coupling and nitro reduction sequence, enabling a rapid modular synthesis of diverse amino-di(hetero)arylamines from (hetero)arylamines and halogenated nitrobenzenes. Various functionalized aromatic amines with different electronic and steric environments can be efficiently prolongated to formally incorporate another arylamino fragments. This approach has been successfully applied in the synthesis of more than forty amino-di(hetero)arylamines. The applicability of this method has also been demonstrated in the synthesis of oligoanilines and the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor Imatinib.

Facile synthesis of oligo anilines as permanent hair dyes: How chemical modifications impart colour and avoid toxicity

Many dyes for long-lasting hair coloring contain aromatic amines that undergo oxidative polymerizations, resulting in allergic contact dermatitis, with the potential to develop serious toxic effects. Among these amines, para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is a small molecule form of aniline commonly used in beauty products despite being a known allergen to humans. Hence, in this study we designed and synthesized safer PPD analogues through the synthesis of oligomeric PPD and the introduction of bulky side chains on PPD to overcome the PPD dye's toxicity. We hypothesized that (a) an increase in the molecular size of PPD by addition of the PPD monomer unit on free amines and (b) strategic functionalizations at the ortho position of PPD with strong electron-donating bulky groups are able to maintain the hair coloring properties, and increase the resistance to binding to skin proteins and therefore decrease the chance of skin sensitization. 13 oligomers were synthesized, with the aim to produce safer hair dyes while minimising eventual toxicity to humans. In particular, oligomers with bulky sidechains, PPD 6 (13), PPD 7 (14) and PPD 8 (15), displayed weak-to-moderate (27.1%, 24.1% and 34.0%) sensitization potential. The results confirmed the importance of having bulky and strong electron donating O-alkyl substituents in order to decrease the reactivity of PPD analogues towards skin proteins, thus preventing the interaction with immune cells and providing safer hair dyes.

Large-Scale Synthesis of Aniline Trimers in Different Oxidation States

Polyanilines are an important class of organic compounds, due to their utility in a large variety of applications. In contrast, oligo?-anilines have been employed far more sporadically, in large part reflecting an absence of refined synthetic approaches. Herein, we report, for the first time, a relatively large-scale strategy to generate highly pure aniline trimers at different oxidation states with excellent yields (90-97percent).

Surface modification of a BN/ETDS composite with aniline trimer for high thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical properties

Boron nitride (BN) particles surface-treated with different amounts of aniline trimer (AT) were used to prepare thermally conductive polymer composites with epoxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane (ETDS). For the same weight content of BN, the BN composites surface-treated with AT showed better mechanical strength and thermal conductivity than the pure BN composites. This is because of the intercalation of AT between BN and ETDS, which not only increased the wettability but also provided excellent heat transfer pathways. We determined the optimum surface treatment ratio by varying the amount of AT, and the results are discussed regarding the thermal conductivity, storage modulus, and tensile strength. Finally, we established the optimum AT ratio for BN surface treatment.

Linear 1,4-coupled oligoanilines of defined length: Preparation and spectroscopic properties

A facile synthetic method involving SNAr coupling of 4-fluoronitrobenzene to arylamines, followed by reduction of the nitro groups, has been developed. The method allows the preparation of symmetric (NH 2/ NH2 end-capped) and asymmetric (Ph/NH2 end-capped) oligoanilines of even or odd chain lengths. The preparation of the NH2/NH2 end-capped trimer to octamer and Ph/NH2 end-capped trimer to pentamer is described. The effect of the chain length on the spectroscopic properties of the oxidized oligomers has been investigated by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy.
