A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.

ABSTRACTWe have applied sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy, a submonolayer surface sensitive analytical technique, to study interfacial structures of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly (propylene glycol) (PPG), their solutions, their copolymers, and copolymer solutions while contacting different media including air, fused silica, and various polymers.For the first time, conformations of polyether materials at various interfaces have been shown at the molecular level in situ. Depending on the hydrophobicity of the solid contacting media, the liquid polymers PEG and PPG show different conformations at different interfaces, which can be correlated to molecular interactions at these interfaces. The favorable interaction between hydrophobic media and the hydrophobic segments, methylene or methyl groups, of polyethers causes an ordered conformation with these groups standing up at the interface. The unfavorable interaction between hydrophilic media and hydrophobic segments of the polyethers induces interfacial methylene or methyl groups to have a random structure or to lie down at the interfaces, indicated by the weakening or even absence of SFG signals. For comparison, interfaces between aqueous PEG or PPG solutions and air, polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and fused silica have also been investigated. In addition, we have studied conformations of pluronics at various interfaces, showing that different blocks have different interface activities. The interfaces are always dominated by the PPG segments. The studies on molecular level interfacial structures of PEG, PPG and pluronics will help us to understand and control the interfacial behavior of liquids at interfaces.

AbstractBifunctional polybases of the partially quaternized poly[thio-1-(N,Ndiethylaminomethyl) ethylene] type (Q(PTDAE),X, with X = percentage of N-quaternization) are able to catalyze various reactions including lipophilic reagents temporarily entrapped in the hydrophobic core of the globules. In this contribution it is shown that benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) and fluoromethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting groups of peptides are cleaved at room temperature in a few minutes in an aqueous medium at pH 7,4. Deprotection was also effective when peptides were attached to solid supports of the Merrifield type provided a hydrophilic spacer arm of the poly(ethylene glycol)-type was inserted between beads and the built up peptide moieties. However, unhooking was observed when the hydrophilic spacerpeptide bond was an ester but not when it was of the amide type. The work shows that Q(PTDAE),X globules exhibit enzyme-like activity in a homogeneous aqueous medium and in heterogeneous systems as well.
