P-Nitrophenyl acrylate

These carbonyl chloride-activated carriers are unstable on storage, so ligand coupling to them has to be undertaken immediately after chemisorption of the copolymer. To overcome this drawback, more stable activated carriers have been synthesized by treating aminopropyl-silicas with poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate) and acetic anhydride.

Poly (p-nitrophenyl acrylate)-coated wide-pore glass (WPG) was also used as an activated carrier for the immobilization of biospecific ligands and enzymes, A detailed description of properties of these sorbents and catalysts as well as some specific features of their functioning is given in Sect. 6. 

Porous glass (PG) modified with covalently adsorbed poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate), as described in Sect. 4.1, turned out to be a highly suitable carrier for immobilization of various biospecific ligands and enzymes. When the residual active ester groups of the carrier were blocked by ethanolamine, the immobilized ligands when bound to the solid support via hydrophilic and flexible poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide). The effective biospecific binding provided by the ligands... 

Methyl 2-(p-nitrophenyl)acrylate (52 g) is hydrogenated in ethanol (500 ml) in the presence of 5% palladium-over-charcoal, while maintaining the temperature at +5°C. The theoretical amount of hydrogen is taken up within one hour. After separation of the catalyst and concentration to dryness, the resulting material gives methyl 2-(p-aminophenyl)proprionate which crystallizes MP = 40°-43°C. 

Poly(vinyl p-nitrobenzoate) was prepared by the esterification of poly(vinyl alcohol) with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (2). Poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate) was obtained by bulk-polymerization of p-nitro-phenyl acrylate (3). Ethylene-vinyl p-nitrobenzoate copolymer... 

We then used poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate) as a trunk polymer, which has also pendant p-nitrophenyl groups connected to the polymer backbone by ester bonds.

As model compounds, we used isopropyl p-nitrobenzoate for poly(vinyl p-nitrobenzoate), p-nitrophenyl iaobutyrate for poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate), p-nitrocumene for poly(p-nitrostyrene), and p-nitrophenyl isopropyl ether for poly(p-nitrophenyl vinyl ether). The structure and Hammett s a constants of these model compounds and the chain transfer constants of polystyrene radicals to these compounds are given in Table 5 (3). 

On the contrary to the value of a, the value of a can be determined experimentally by separating branches from the trunk polymer by cleaving ester groups in the case of poly(vinyl p-nitro-benzoate) and poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate).
