Patent number: 7084208Abstract: The present invention provides heterocyclic vinylic compounds that can be used to form biocidal polymers. The polymers thus generated can used alone or can be grafted onto textiles, fabrics and polymers. The polymers are readily converted to N-halamine structures on exposure to a halogen source such as commercially available chlorine bleach. The N-halamine derivatives exhibit potent antibacterial properties against microorganisms and these properties are durable and regenerable.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Gang Sun, Yuyu Sun

Patent number: 7057038Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for the kinetic resolution of racemic and diastereomeric mixtures of chiral compounds. The critical elements of the method are: a non-racemic chiral tertiary-amine-containing catalyst; a racemic or diastereomeric mixture of a chiral substrate, e.g., a cyclic carbonate or cyclic carbamate; and a nucleophile, e.g., an alcohol, amine or thiol. A preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for achieving the kinetic resolution of racemic and diastereomeric mixtures of derivatives of ?- and ?-amino, hydroxy, and thio carboxylic acids. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention achieve dynamic kinetic resolution of a racemic or diastereomeric mixture of a substrate, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Brandeis UniversityInventors: Li Deng, Jianfeng Hang, Liang Tang
