Four alkyne-functionalized poly(lysine) derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In the first poly(lysine) derivative, phenylpropiolate moieties are directly bound to the aminic arms, whereas in the other derivatives, propargylamine moieties are bound to the aminic poly(lysine) arms through glucaric acid and diethylene glycol (DG) chains, respectively. para-Hydrogenation of the alkyne- functionalized poly(lysine) compounds has been investigated and the results have been discussed in terms of spin lattice relaxation properties of the hydrogenated products. It is shown that the longer the mobile chain separating the unsaturation from the poly(lysine) backbone, the more intense the polarized signals when para-hydrogenation is carried out. This is due to (a) the maintenance of short reorientational times on the unsaturated ends, and therefore a sufficiently long T1 of the protons added during hydrogenation, and (b) the minor effect of steric hindrance by the poly(lysine) backbone that decreases interaction of the unsaturation with the catalyst, allowing higher hydrogenation rates.

Ferulic acid-based polymers with aliphatic linkages have been previously synthesized via solution polymerization methods, yet they feature relatively slow ferulic acid release rates (~11 months to 100% completion). To achieve a more rapid release rate as required in skin care formulations, ferulic acid-based polymers with ethylene glycol linkers were prepared to increase hydrophilicity and, in turn, increase ferulic acid release rates. The polymers were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies to confirm chemical composition. The molecular weights, thermal properties (e.g., glass transition temperature), and contact angles were also obtained and the polymers compared. Polymer glass transition temperature was observed to decrease with increasing linker molecule length, whereas increasing oxygen content decreased polymer contact angle. The polymers' chemical structures and physical properties were shown to influence ferulic acid release rates and antioxidant activity. In all polymers, ferulic acid release was achieved with no bioactive decomposition. These polymers demonstrate the ability to strategically release ferulic acid at rates and concentrations relevant for topical applications such as skin care products.

Bis(acylketene) (3) thermally generated from Meldrum's acid derivative (2) underwent intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition to produce bridged dehydroacetic acid derivative (4). Heating 4 with methylamine and ammonia afforded crown ether type pyridinophanes (5) and (6) (12-crown-4), respectively. Reaction of the ketene (3) with (ethylene glycol)s afforded macrolactones (11-13) in satisfactory yields. Molecular structures of 4 and 6 are discussed based on X-Ray crystallographic analysis.
