RESUMO
The effect of acidic media on the formation of the 3,4-dihydro-2H-3-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazine Bz is evaluated, focusing on the differentiation of intermediates and products formed by the distinct pathways observed in the presence and absence of acid. The use of real-time mass spectrometry (PSI-ESI-MS) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) allowed the differentiation of the species observed during the synthesis of benzoxazines in these different conditions. The results suggest that formic acid promotes the formation of aniline and phenol condensation products (IC and IIC) by protecting the aniline amino group and enhancing the formaldehyde electrophilicity. The results also suggest that although the presence of acid allow a more efficient potential energy landscape to be accessed, the last cyclization step for the formation of benzoxazines cannot be mediated by the protonation route intermediate (ROP Bz). Overall, the conclusions presented here provide important information about the synthesis of benzoxazines under acidic conditions, allowing the development of optimal reaction conditions.
RESUMO
Herein, an evaluation of the initial step of benzoxazine polymerization is presented by mass spectrometry, with a focus on differentiating the phenoxy and phenolic products formed by distinct pathways of the cationic ring opening polymerization (ROP) mechanism of polybenzoxazine formation. The use of infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) techniques allows for differentiation of the two pathways and provides valuable insights into the ROP mechanism. The results suggest that type I pathway is favored in the initial stages of the reaction yielding the phenoxy product, while type II product should be observed at later stages when the phenoxy product would interconvert to the most stable type II phenolic product. Overall, the findings presented here provide important information on the initial step of the benzoxazine polymerization, allowing the development of optimal polymerization conditions and represents a way to evaluate other multifunctional polymerization processes.

Bisbenzoxazines (BisBz) are a relevant model for the diverse bifunctional benzoxazines that are used to increase the polybenzoxazines cross-linking extensions and modulate the final resin properties for various usages. The presence of side products and intermediates during monomer formation can influence the resin characteristics by inducing chain termination and ramifications, affecting the polymerization and cure processes. This work investigated the diverse isomeric intermediates and side products that are present during the BisBz formation from bisphenol A, aniline, and formaldehyde by ion mobility coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and ion spectroscopy techniques. The species detected in this work suggest that these multifunctional phenols open diverse concurrent reaction pathways based on two main reactive steps: (i) the imine/iminium phenol attack to form a phenylamino intermediate and (ii) the formaldehyde attack followed by dehydration to form the oxazine ring. The species observed also support previous studies of the benzoxazine formation mechanism and showcase the application of advanced analytical techniques in studying complex chemical systems.
RESUMO
In this study, we present the development of two catalytic processes: a Pd-PEPPSI-catalyzed aminocarbonylation and a Pd(OAc)2-Xantphos-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of d-glycals, utilizing carbonylative cross-coupling reactions. We explored successfully various types of aromatic amines, as well as alkyl amines and amino acids, to synthesize new d-glycal amides. However, we observed limitations in the reactivity of alkyl and heteroaromatic amines. The processes enabled the synthesis of 20 novel C1-branched glycoamides and 7 new d-gluco esters.
