Synthesis of Poly[(3-octanoylpyrrole-2,5-diyl)-p-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzylidene] and Its Properties by Nitrogen Ion Implantation

A novel soluble π-conjugated polymer, poly[(3-octanoylpyrrole-2,5-diyl)-p-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzylidene](POPDMABE), was synthesized firstly by the condensation of 3-octanoylpyrrole with para-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. The chemical structure of the polymer was characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectrometries. The polymer is a potential nonlinear optical(NLO) material. According to the function of optical forbidden band gap(E_g) and photon energy(hν), the optical forbidden band gaps of the polymer before and after ion implantation were calculated. The resonant third-order nonlinear optical properties of POPDMABE before and after ion implantation were also studied by using the degenerate four-wave mixing(DFWM) technique at 532 nm. When the energy is 25 keV and the dose is 2.2×10 17 ions/cm 2, the {polymer′s} optical forbidden band gap is about 1.63 eV which is smaller than that of the non-implanted sample(1.98 eV) and the resonant third-order NLO susceptibility of POPDMABE is about 4.3×10 -7 esu, 1 order of magnitude higher than that of the non-implanted sample(4.1×10 -8 esu). The results show that nitrogen ion implantation is an effective method to improve the resonant third-order NLO property of the polymer.

A Novel Green Preparation of a, a'-Bis (substituted benzylidene)-cycloalkanones Promoted by FeCl_3 6H-2O in Ionic Liquid

a, a'-Bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones were efficiently prepared from cycloalkanones and benzaldehydes in [bmim][BF4] by using iron(III) chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst. It is shown that [bmim][BF4] and iron(III) chloride hexahydrate can be quantitatively recovered and be reused effectively for many times. Compared with the known methods, this novel process has the advantage of being an envkonmentally benign process together with good yields and mild reaction conditions.

Preparation and Properties of 1-octadecanol/1,3:2,4-di-(3,4-dimethyl) Benzylidene Sorbitol/Expanded Graphite Form-stable Composite Phase Change Material

A 1-octadecanol（OD）/1,3:2,4-di-（3,4-dimethyl） benzylidene sorbitol（DMDBS）/expander graphite（EG） composite was prepared as a form-stable phase change material（PCM） by vacuum melting method. The results of field emission-scanning electron microscopy（FE-SEM） showed that 1-octadecanol was restricted in the three-dimensional network formed by DMDBS and the honeycomb network formed by EG. X-ray diffraction（XRD） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR） results showed that no chemical reaction occurred among the components of composite PCM in the preparation process. The gel-to-sol transition temperature of the composite PCMs containing DMDBS was much higher than the melting point of pure 1-octadecanol. The improvements in preventing leakage and thermal stability limits were mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of the three-dimensional network formed by DMDBS and the honeycomb network formed by EG. Differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） was used to determine the latent heat and phase change temperature of the composite PCMs. During melting and freezing process the latent heat values of the PCM with the composition of 91% OD/3% DMDBS/6% EG were 214.9 and 185.9 kJ·kg-1, respectively. Its degree of supercooling was only 0.1 ℃. Thermal constant analyzer results showed that its thermal conductivity（κ） changed up to roughly 10 times over that of OD/DMDBS matrix.

Estrogen receptor(ER)αis expressed in a subset of patient-derived acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cells,whereas Akt is predominantly expressed in most types of AML.Targeting AML with dual inhibitors is a novel approach to combat the disease.Herein,we examined a novel small molecule,3-(4-isopropyl)benzylidene-8-ethoxy,6-methyl,chroman-4-one(SBL-060),capable of targeting AML cells by inhibiting ERαand Akt kinase.The chemical properties of SBL-060 were identified by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(^(1)H-NMR),^(13)C-NMR,and mass spectroscopy.In silico docking was performed using an automated protocol with AutoDock-VINA.THP-1 and HL-60 cell lines were differentiated using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate.ERαinhibition was assessed using ELISA.The MTT assay assessed cell viability.Flow cytometry was performed for cell cycle,apoptosis,and p-Akt analyses.Chemical analysis identified the compound as 3-(4-isopropyl)benzylidene-8-ethoxy,6-methyl,chroman-4-one,which showed high binding efficacy toward ER,with aΔG_(binding) score of−7.4 kcal/mol.SBL-060 inhibited ERα,exhibiting IC50 values of 448 and 374.3 nM in THP-1 and HL-60 cells,respectively.Regarding inhibited cell proliferation,GI50 values of SBL-060 were 244.1 and 189.9 nM for THP-1 and HL-60 cells,respectively.In addition,a dose-dependent increase in sub G_(0)/G_(1) phase cell cycle arrest and total apoptosis was observed after treatment with SBL-060 in both cell types.SBL-060 also dose-dependently increased the p-Akt-positive populations in both THP-1 and HL-60 cells.Our results indicate that SBL-060 has excellent efficacy against differentiated AML cell types by inhibiting ER and Akt kinase,warranting further preclinical evaluations.

Kinetic Study of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of 2-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethyl Methacrylate

A kinetic model was developed to describe the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2(N,N-dimethylarnino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). The model was based on a polymerization mechanism, which included the atom transfer equilibrium for primary radical, the propagation of growing polymer radical, and the atom transfer equilibrium for the growing polymer radical. An experiment was carried out to measure the conversion of monomer, the number-average molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight distribution for the ATRP process of DMAEMA. The experimental data were used to correlate the kinetic model and rate constants were obtained. The rate constants of activation and deactivation in the atom transfer equilibrium for primary radical are 1.0 x 10(4) L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1) and 0.04 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), respectively. The rate constant of the propagation of growing polymer radical is 8.50 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), and the rate constants of activation and deactivation in the atom transfer equilibrium for growing polymer radical are 0.045 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1) and 1.2 x 10(5) L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), respectively. The values of the rate constants represent the features of the ATRP process. The kinetic model was used to calculate the ATRP process of DMAEMA. The results show that the calculations agree well with the measurements.

VINYL MONOMERS BEARING CHROMOPHORE MOIETIES AND THEIR POLYMERS——Ⅹ.INITIATION AND PHOTOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF p-(N,N-DIMETHYLAMINO)STYRENE AND ITS POLYMERS

A vinyl monomer having an electron-donating moiety, p-(N,N-dimethylamino)styrenc (DMAS),was synthesized. It was combined with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to form a redox initiation system to initiatethe polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). UV spectra measurements show that DMAS enters thePMMA chain as well. Both DMAS and its polymer P(DMAS) display strong fluorescence, and thefluorescence can be quenched by electron-deficient compounds such as methacrylonitrile, fumaronitrile andmethyl methacrylate etc. Moreover, DMAS can also form charge transfer complex (CTC) with strongelectron acceptors such as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). The difference between the photochemical propertiesof DMAS and P(DMAS) were explained in terms of molecular structure change and polymer conformationeffect in solution. In addition, the CTC and exciplex formation of DMAS or P(DMAS) with C_(60) were alsostudied.
