Abstract | This article describes an efficient enamine organocatalyzed thiol-Michael click reaction and its broad application in cross-linking polymerizations. A series of enamines was shown to catalyze the thiol-Michael reaction via a nucleophilic pathway. By varying the amines as well as the ring size of the ketones, enamines were designed with broad ranges of nucleophilic character ranging from 11 to 17 on the Mayr nucleophilicity scale. Upon evaluating the enamines’ organocatalytic effect on the kinetics of reactions involving a thiol and Michael acceptor, wherein butyl 3-mercaptopropionate and 1-hexyl acrylate were used as model reactants, enamines were shown to outperform their base analogs. The efficiency and overall reaction yields, ranging from 11 to 92% based on the thiol conversion, were highly dependent upon the nucleophilicity of the enamines employed. Interestingly, in situ formation of an enamine via photo-deprotection of an amine in the presence of cyclic ketones facilitated the thiol-Michael reaction efficiently while simultaneously enabling higher functional group conversion. This efficiency in the reaction kinetics and conversion was extended to multifunctional derivatives, which resulted in the formation of highly cross-linked polymers. |
