Synthesis and Examination of New Catalytic Polymers.
Abstract
Research supported by Grant DAAG29-82-K-0131 consisted of the following four components: 1) A new turnover catalyst capable of hydrolyzing phosphate esters under mildly basic conditions has been developed. It is currently being tested in Army laboratories. 2) A polymer-bound 4-aminopyridine has been synthesized which is capable, in the solid state, of catalyzing a variety of organic reactions. 3) A new theory for the high reactivity of intramolecular and enzymatic systems. The theory postulates that the rate of reaction between functionalities A and B is proportional to the time that A and B reside within critical distances. Attempts have been made to evaluate critical distances for organic molecules. 4) Three new multi-armed amphiphiles have been synthesized. Although these materials do not form micelles by themselves, they have the property of seeding micelle formation by conventional surfactants.
