A metal-free 1,2-alkylarylation of allylic alcohols with aliphatic aldehydes through concomitant radical neophyl rearrangement was developed, providing 1,2-diphenyl-3-alkyl propanones in moderate to good yields. Moreover, when cyclopropanecarbaldehyde and aryl carbaldehydes were concerned, acylarylation was involved leading to 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds.
The Core-shell hybrid particles with attapulgite (ATP) as the core and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as the shell (ATP-g-PMMA) were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization method. The diameter of ATP-g-PMMA was increased to 50-60 nm, and the surface hygroscopicity was decreased observably after surface grafting. Then, ATPg-PMMA hybrid particles were filled into the polycarbonate (PC) by melt mixing to afford nanocomposites, and the mechanical properties, microstructures, thermal stability, and rheological behavior of nanocomposites were investigated by varying ATP-g-PMMA concentration in the range 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt % in PC. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggested that there is no esterification reaction between particles and matrix. Slight changes in tensile strength, and noticeable decrease of elongation and impact strength were observed with the increase in ATP-g-PMMA particles loading. The morphology evaluated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) indicated that ATP-g-PMMA was dispersed with a diameter range of 80-100 nm, and phase separation was appeared with increasing ATP-g-PMMA loadings. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results revealed the thermal stability of composites was strengthened. The disentanglement and interface slip induced by preferred orientation and directional arrangement of ATP-g-PMMA resulted in lower complex viscosity (g*) and higher loss factor (tan d) compared with the pristine PC.
A radical decarboxylation/annulation of acrylamides with aliphatic acyl peroxides was developed, giving a series of linear alkylated oxindoles in moderate to good yields. The reaction used aliphatic acyl peroxides as the linear alkyl radical source and tolerated a broad scope of substrates under metal-free conditions, offering a simple and efficient approach toward alkylated oxindoles.
Hybrid nanocomposites consisting of polydimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) and attapulgite (ATP) were prepared by using a surface thiol-Ce (IV) redox initiation system via graft from approach. Initially, ATP was chemically modified with cmercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MTS) to anchor thiol groups on the surface (ATP-MTS). Subsequently, surface-initiated polymerization of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate was performed by using ATP-MTS and cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in aqueous nitric acid (HNO 3 ) to afford hybrid particles (ATP-g-PDMAEMA). Evidence of grafting of PDMAEMA was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The crystal structure of PDMAEMA grafted ATP was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Morphology of ATP-g-PDMAEMA was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of concentration of Ce (IV), HNO 3 , and reaction temperature were examined by determining the percentage of grafting (PG). With other condition kept constant, the optimum conditions were obtained as follows: the reaction temperature was 508C, Ce (IV) and HNO 3 concentrations were 12.5 mmol/L and 1 mol/L, respectively, when 0.2 g of ATP-MTS, 1 mL of DMAEMA, and 4 mL of aqueous solution were used.
