Abstract:Vitamin C is widely used as an antioxidant in biological systems. The very high density of functional groups makes it challenging to selectively tether this molecule to other moieties. We report that, following protection of the enediol as benzyl ethers, the introduction of an acrylate ester at C1 is straightforward. Ascorbic acid-modified silicones were synthesized via aza-Michael reactions of aminoalkylsilicones with ascorbic acrylate. Viscous oils formed when the amine/acrylate ratios were <1. However, a… Show more
“…An analogous process allows the preparation of vitamin A bound to silicones. 36 5.3.1 Elastomers -phenolic coupling. Phenols readily undergo oxidative coupling in which two phenoxy radicals recombine to form a new C-C bond.…”

Simple organic chemistry can be used to introduce, into silicone elastomers, organic/natural materials that deliver functionality in the form of new, useful properties including enhanced sustainability.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
