Hydrogen bond acidic preparation

This work describes recent advances in the preparation of hydrogen bond acidic polycarbosilanes and their application as chemical sensor coatings. We have prepared hydrogen bond acidic polymers based on polycarbosilanes with the goal of improving upon the chemical and thermal properties of this class of functionalized polymer (3-5). Results pertaining to the preparation of selected model compounds are also described. 

The 8-hydroxy-7-aminoquinoline-5-sulfonic acid was used to clarify the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonding on the cyclization rate of hydroxy Schiff bases in the preparation of 2-aryloxazolo[4,5-/i]quinoline-5-sulfonic acids 13. Irradiation... 

Based on the kinetic studies, a mechanism for this oxidation was proposed45 which involves a nucleophilic attack by the sulphide on a cyclic hydrogen-bonded form of the peracid (equation 9). Since oxidation using peracids occurs under very mild conditions, it can be successfully applied to the preparation of base sensitive sulphoxides. Thus, di(a-bromobenzyl) sulphoxide 25, which is very labile in the presence of a base, was obtained by careful oxidation of a-di(a-bromobenzyl) sulphide by means of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA)46 (equation 10). 

Co-ordination chemistry is not the only possible approach to the successful preparation of supramolecular dendrimers. Other examples include hydrogen-bonded dendrimers, which have been prepared using tetracar-boxylic acid moieties as the linking species, and others have been prepared where the hydrogen bonds were developed using melamine and cyanuric acid at the focal point (i.e. the point towards which convergent synthesis is directed).
