Alkali ion exchanged nafion as a confining medium for photochemical reactions

Methanol-swollen Nafion beads were used as microreactors to control the photochemical reaction pathways. Product selectivity in three unimolecular reactions, namely, the photo-Fries rearrangement of naphthyl esters, Norrish Type I reaction of 1-phenyl-3-p-tolyl-propan-2-one and Norrish Type I and Type II reactions of benzoin alkyl ethers were examined. The influence of cations over the photodimerization of acenaphthylene and cross-photodimerization between acenaphthylene and N-benzyl maleimide included within Nafion were also examined. The photochemical behaviors of the above substrates were significantly altered within Nafion compared with their solution photochemistry. Of particular interest, the product distributions were found to depend on the counter cations of Nafion.

Amphiphilic homopolymer as a reaction medium in water: Product selectivity within polymeric nanopockets

A styrene-based water-soluble polymer has been explored for its use as a host for lipophilic substrates in aqueous medium. Unimolecular reactions, namely, photo-Fries rearrangement of naphthyl esters, α-cleavage reaction of 1-phenyl-3-p-tolyl-propan-2-one, and Norrish type I and type II reactions of benzoin alkyl ethers were examined. We find that the hydrophobic domains generated by the polymer not only restrict the mobility of the radicals but also modestly incarcerate the substrate, intermediates, and products during the time scale of the reactions. Comparative studies of the same photoreactions in micelles formed from small molecule surfactants and an amphiphilic diblock copolymer demonstrate that the styrene-based water-soluble polymer aggregates in aqueous medium offer better selectivity.
