RESUMEN
It is possible to control the crosslink density of polymers derived from monobenzoxazines by switching the type of substituents in the phenolic ring and their relative position with respect to the phenol group. We prepared several substituted monobenzoxazines in the para and meta positions of the phenolic ring and studied how these substituents affected the polymerization temperature of monomers and the thermal stability of the final polymers and, more extensively, how they affected the crosslink network of the final polymers. Gel content and dynamic mechanical analysis confirm that ortho- and para-orienting substituents in the meta position generate highly crosslinked materials compared to para ones. This fact can lead to the design of materials with highly crosslinked networks based on monobenzoxazines, simpler and more versatile monomers than the commercial bisbenzoxazines currently in use.
RESUMEN
A hydrogenated frustrated Lewis pair ([TMPH+][HB(C6F5)3 -]) promotes controlled living ionic polymerization of cyanoacrylates. Controlled growth of various homopolymeric CAs through sequential monomer addition has been achieved, in addition to CA block copolymers with controlled block sequences for the first time in the long history of these materials.
RESUMEN
Direct dehydrogenative coupling between the linear ter- and quaternaphthalenes and substituted benzenes was achieved under the Kita conditions using the hypervalent PIFA/BF3 reagent. Products resulting from either the double arylation of the naphthalenic substrate or the formal dimerizative arylation have been prepared. For example, in the latter mode, ternaphthalene was converted into a series of linear octiarenes (counting the capping Ar). The process represents an alternative to the cross-coupling methodologies employed in related syntheses and proceeds via a selective functionalization of six relatively inert aromatic CH bonds.

Direct oxidative Kita-type coupling between naphthalene and substituted benzenes was found to proceed via four-component coupling, leading to a linear tetraarene with a binaphthalene core. The methodology was extendable to the coupling of unfunctionalized 1,1'-binaphthalene with mesitylene to give a linear hexaarene product in a remarkably chemoselective manner in 87% yield. The method represents an attractive alternative to the traditional syntheses of related oligonaphthalene products via a sequence of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling steps.
RESUMEN
A new family of phosphorus dendrimers containing on their surfaces 3, 6, 12, and 96 15-membered azamacrocycles has been synthesized. The coordinating ability of these macrocycles to palladium(0) atoms allowed the preparation of new dendrimers of several generations containing the corresponding metal complexes and several new nanoparticulated materials, where nanoparticles are stabilized mainly by the complexed dendrimers of the zero, first, and fourth generations. No reduction process of palladium(II) salts was needed to prepare nanoparticles of 2.5-7.9 nm diameter. All the new compounds and materials have been characterized by NMR, IR, elemental analysis and/or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction. Also UV-vis spectra were obtained. The Mizoroki-Heck reaction has been catalyzed in a homogeneous and heterogeneous manner by using four different materials; in all cases, the catalyst could be recovered and reused several times.
RESUMEN
Cu(SbF6)2-AdamBox and copper(II) bis-(5-tert-butylsalicylaldehydate) catalyze the Michael addition in neutral media. Mechanistic studies, based on UV-vis, IR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), suggest that copper enolates of the beta-dicarbonyl formed in situ are the active nucleophilic species.
