The production of biobased diamines from renewable carbon sources: Current advances and perspectives

Bio-based diamines are considered to be a promising alternative to traditional fossil-fuel-based diamines,the important platform chemical for the synthesis of polymer materials.In this review,the current status of the art of the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic diamines from renewable biomass are considered.In the case of aliphatic diamines,we describe strategies for biologically producing diamines with different carbon numbers including 1,3-diaminopropane,1,4-butanediamine,1,5-pentanediamine,1,6-diaminohexane,1,8-diaminooctane,1,10-diaminodecane,and 1,12-diaminododecane.In addition,aromatic diamines produced from various kinds of renewable biomass,including lignin,cashew nut shell,and terpenoids,are reviewed here.Furthermore,the application of typical diamines in synthesis of polyurethane and polyamide are also reviewed.

Green and selective hydrogenation of aromatic diamines over the nanosheet Ru/g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) catalyst prepared by ultrasonic assisted impregnation-deposition method

In this study,nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) was prepared by thermal exfoliation of bulk g-C_(3)N_(4) under hydrogen.A series of Ru/g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) catalysts with Ru species supported on the nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) were synthesized via ultrasonic assisted impregnation-deposition method.Ultrafine Ru nanoparticles(<2 nm)were highly dispersed on nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2).Strong interaction due to Ru-Nx coordination facilitated the uniform distribution of Ru species.Meanwhile,the involvement of surface basicity derived from abundant nitrogen sites was favourable for enhancing the selective hydrogenation performance of bi-benzene ring,i.e.,almost complete 4,40-diaminodiphenylmethane(MDA)conversion and>99%4,40-diaminodicyclohexylmethane selectivity,corresponding to a reaction activity of 35.7 mol_(MDA) mol_(Ru)^(-1) h^(-1).Moreover,the reaction activity of catalyst in the fifth run was 36.5 mol_(MDA) mol_(Ru)^(-1) h^(-1),which was comparable with that of the fresh one.The computational results showed that g-C_(3)N_(4) as support was favorable for adsorption and dissociation of H_(2) molecules.Moreover,the substrate scope can be successfully expanded to a variety of other aromatic diamines.Therefore,this work provides an efficient and green catalyst system for selective hydrogenation of aromatic diamines.

Ultrasonicwave-assisted tandem-reaction for synthesis of symmetrical vicinal diamines

A practical synthesis of symmetrical vicinal diamines with broad chemistry scope is described. The key step is the ultrasonicwave promoted tandem-reaction, two-step reaction sequence combining Mannich double condensations with benzo- triazole, glyoxal and primary or secondary amines and reduction of the bis（benzotriazole）-adducts with sodium borohydride proceeded smoothly in tetrahydrofuran in high yield at room temperature.

Influences of Diamines on the Morphologies and the Chemical, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Imide Elastomers

Polyurethane-imide elastomers (PUIEs) are formed from isocyanate, polyol, acid anhydride, and diamine by liquid polymerization. Unfortunately, many of the diamines have rarely been applied to the formation of PUIEs. Hence, investigating the effect of diamines on PUIEs remains a challenge in polymer chemistry. Herein, PUIEs prepared from 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), polytetramethylene glycol (Mw: 1000), pyromellitic dianhydride, and aromatic diamines (such as p-phenylene diamine, 4,4'-oxydianiline, and 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene), and aliphatic diamines (such as 1,2-ethylene diamine, 1,6-hexamethylene diamine, and 1,12-dodecamethylene diamine) were synthesized by liquid polymerization. The morphologies and the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the various PUIEs were investigated. The obtained elastomeric sheets were characterized in terms of the following tests and methods: solubility and swelling tests, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, tensile tests, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, contact angle microscopy, and scanning electron

Asymmetric Synthesis of Fluorinated Vicinal Diamines from Fluoromethyl Sulfinyl Imines and Diphenylmethylene-Benzylamines

A novel strategy was developed for the asymmetric synthesis of fluorinated vicinal diamines.Deprotonation of N-(diphenylmethylene)-benzylamines under base,followed by asymmetric nucleophilic addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylfluoroacetaldimines,a pair of diastereomeric isomers were afforded.The diastereomeric isomers can be easily separated from each other by silica gel column chromatography.The absolute steric configuration of two isomers was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.The proposed mechanism revealed that the configuration of the carbon next to tert-butanesulfinyl was well controlled to be R by the chiral auxiliary.

Preparation of Environmentally Friendly Urea-Hexanediamine-Glyoxal(HUG)Resin Wood Adhesive

Using non-toxic,low-volatile glyoxal to completely replace formaldehyde for preparing urea-glyoxal(UG)resin adhesive is a hot research topic that could be of great interest for the wood industry.However,urea-glyoxal(UG)resins prepared by just using glyoxal instead of formaldehyde usually yields a lower degree of polymerization.This results in a poorer bonding performance and water resistance of UG resins.A good solution is to pre-react urea to preform polyurea molecules presenting already a certain degree of polymerization,and then to condense these with glyoxal to obtain a novel UG resin.Therefore,in this present work,the urea was reacted with hexamethylene diamine to form a polyurea named HU,and then this was used to react it with different amounts of glyoxal to synthesize hexamethylenediamine-urea-glyoxal(HUG)polycondensation resins,and to use this for bonding plywood.The results show that the glyoxal can well react with HU polyuria via addition and schiff base reaction,and also the HUG resin exhibits excellent bonding strength and water resistance.The shear strength of the plywood bonded with this HUG at 160°C hot press temperature as high as 1.93 MPa,2.16 MPa and 1.61 MPa,respectively,which meets the requirement of the China national standard GB/T 9846-2015(≥0.7 MPa),and can be a good choice as a wood adhesive for industrial application.

Synthesis of C1-symmetric primary-secondary diamines and their application in the enantioselective Henry reaction

Two new Cl-symmetric primary-secondary diamines were synthesized via the reaction of （S,S）-1,2- diphenyl ethylene diamine with 3,5-ditert-butyl salicylal- dehyde and salicylaldehyde, respectively, followed by reduction with NaBH4. The combination of the ligand from 3,5-ditert-butyl salicylaldehyde with CuBr could effciently catalyze the Henry reaction to afford β- nitroalkanols in moderate to good yields （up to 87%） and high enantioselectivities （up to 88% ee）. A possible mechanism of the reaction was proposed.

Synthesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Novel Platinum(Ⅱ) Complexes with C2-Asymmetric and C2-Symmetric Chiral Vicinal Diamines

A series of new platinum（II） complexes with C2-asymmetric and C2-symmetric 1,2-diamines were designed and synthesized by convenient methods, involving samarium diiodide induced reductive coupling as the key step. The results of cytotoxicity showed that compounds （R,R）-lla and （S,S）-lla, two novel platinum（II） complexes with asymmetric 1,2-diamines, exhibited more potent cytotoxicity than that of oxaliplatin against all leukemia cell lines. Interestingly, （R,R）-lla and （S,S）-lla demonstrated less potent activity against three solid cancer cell lines than that of oxaliplatin, which indicated that these two compounds may only selectively inhibit the leukemia cell lines. In contrast, （R,R）-ISa and （S,S）-15a, two platinum（II） complexes with symmetric 1,2-diamines, showed similar cyto- toxicity to that of oxaliplatin against all leukemia cell lines and more potent activity against solid cancer cell lines. Further flow cytometry data indicated that （R,R）-lla could obviously arrest leukemia K562 cells in G2/M phases.

Stoichiometry and Stability Constant Values for Copper (II) Chelates with Ethylene Diamine in Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) (Ethaline) Solutions

In this study we used the deep eutectic solvents (ionic liquids) to investigate the reaction between copper (II) with ethylene diamine (en). Two of the existing methods for analyzing spectrophotometric measurements have been applied for establishing, the stoichiometry and whenever possible, the stability constants of the chelates formed. The method of continuous variations was necessary to determine first whether, the metal ion and the ligand ethylene diamine form one or more than one chelate, when more than one chelate formed, the results obtained depend on the wavelength and for meaningful conclusions the wavelengths were carefully selected. The empirical formulae of the chelates were further substantiated by the molar ratio method. The effect of time and temperature on the formation and stability of these chelates in solution is also studied. The stability constants, K1 and K2 for the copper (II) chelates were calculated, though reliable, and are comparable to literature values.

Preparation and Characterization of Polysulfonamide Statistical Copolymers from Three Aromatic Diamines

Various polysulfonamide （PSA） statistical copolymers were synthesized by polycondensation of three aromatic diamines and terephthaloyl chloride. The inherent viscosities of the resulting PSA copolymers range from 1.54 to 1.66 dL/g. The precipitated PSA copolymers with feed content of p-phenylene diamine （PPD） being less than 50% （mole fraction） can be redissolved in N-methyl-2-pryrrolidone （NMP） or N, N-dimethylacetamide （DMAc） with lithium chloride of WLiC1 ： 0.02. All of the PSA copolymers exhibit enhanced tensile strength in comparison with PSA and still maintain excellent thermal stability in either air or nitrogen atmosphere

Synthesis and Characterization of New Macrocyclic Cu（Ⅱ） Complexes from Various Diamines, Copper（Ⅱ） Nitrate and 1,4-Bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane

Six new macrocyclic complexes were synthesized by a template reaction of 1,4-bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane with diamines and Cu（NO3）2·3H2O and their structures were proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements and mass spectra. The metal to ligand molar ratios of the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes were found to be 1 ： 1. The Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are 1 ： 2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities （∧m） in DMF at 10^-3 mol·L^-1. Due to the existence of free ions the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are electrically conductive. Their configurations were proposed to be probably distorted octahedral.

Value of combining the serum D-lactate, diamine oxidase, and endotoxin levels to predict gut-derived infections in cancer patients

Objective:This is a retrospective observational cohort study.The objective of this retrospective observational cohort study was to evaluate the value of the combined serum D-lactic acid,diamine oxidase(DAO),and endotoxin levels to predict intestinal barrier impairment and gut-derived infection(GDI)in cancer patients.Methods:Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or palliative care treatment at our hospital were enrolled in the study.The serum concentrations of DAO,D-lactic acid,and endotoxin were determined using the intestinal barrier function biochemical index analysis system.The patients'infection information came from the hospital's Medicom Prescription Automatic Screening System and themedical records.Three hundred fifty-three cancer patients were included in the study(53.8%female,73.7%cancer stage IV,27.8%had bowel obstruction).Results:The total incidence of GDI was 33.4%(118/353).The median length of hospital stay was 16 days for patients with GDI,compared with 7 days for patients without GDI(P<0.001).The media hospitalization costs were¥27,362.35 for patients with GDI compared with¥11,614.08 for patients without GDI(P<0.001).The serum concentrations of DAO,D-lactic acid,and endotoxin were significantly higher in patients with GDI.As malignant bowel obstruction(MBO)worsened,the concentrations of DAO,D-lactic acid,and endotoxin increased.Multivariate logistic regression models revealed that the DAO,endotoxin,IL-6,and C-reactive protein levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of GDI.In addition,we also found a fivefold increased risk of infection in patients withMBO compared with those without bowel obstruction(OR=6.210,P<0.001).All of the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUCs)for DAO,D-lactate,and endotoxin to predict GDI were<0.7(AUC=0.648,P<0.001;AUC=0.624,P<0.01;AUC=0.620,P<0.01,respectively).However,when the parameters were combined(DAO+D-lactate+endotoxin),the predictive power increased significantly(AUC=0.797,P<0.001).Moreover,combining these intestinal barrier indicators and the presence of MBO had better power to predict GDI than either alone(AUC=0.837,P<0.001).Conclusions:Combining the serum DAO,D-lactic acid,and endotoxin levels was a better predictor of GDI than any of the indicators alone,and combining these with the diagnosis of MBO could further improve the efficacy for predicting GDI.
