  • POLYMER ORGANOCATALYST AND PREPARATION PROCESS
    Publication number: 20110034654
    Abstract: A chiral polymer organocatalyst comprising a main chain and side chain organocatalytic groups covalently attached to the main chain, which organocatalytic groups comprise an amino acid or amino acid derivative of the following general formula (I), in which one stereoisomeric form predominates: formula (I) wherein the catalyst is bound to the polymer main chain via R1, R2, R4, R5 or R6 through a linker (L) or direct bond, and wherein R1-R6 and Z are defined as follows: R1 is H, a naturally occurring alpha-amino acid side chain or a non-natural commercially available alpha-amino acid side chain that may contain L; R2 is H, O (doubly bonded to give a carbonyl), O-L (where L is a linker), NH-L or L; R3 is H or doubly bonded to give a carbonyl with R2 when R2 is O; R4 is H, C1-C6 alkyl or L R5 is H, CO2H, C1-C6 alkyl, benzyl, L, CONHR (in which R is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or, heteroarylalkyl), tetrazolyl, CH2 coupled to a triazole moiety, an esterified CH2OH or CO2R (in which R is alkyl, aryl, heteroar

  • PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF MONODISPERSE POLYMER PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20100099803
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of monodisperse polymer particles which are formed by contacting monomers with aqueous dispersions comprising monodisperse swellable seed polymers/oligomers, and initiating polymerization in the presence of a steric stabilizer. The resulting swollen seed particles are characterized by the particle mode diameter.
