N,N-Dimethylallylamine → Sodium 3,6,8-trisulfonaphthylthiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Solid sodium 3, 6, 8-trisulfonaphthylisothiocyanate (250 mg; 0.5 mmol) was added to a solution of PAMAM 4.0 (51 mg; 0.01 mmol) and N,N-dimethyl-N-allylamine buffer (pH 9.5; 1 ml) in water (2 ml) and the mixture heated under nitrogen at 53° for two hours and then cooled. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give an orange solid. The residual solid was dissolved in water (2 ml) and passed through a short column of Amberlite IR-120(Na). The filtrate was then concentrated and the residue purified by gel filtration (Sephadex LH20; water). The pure fractions were combined and freeze dried to give the sodium 3, 6, 8-trisulfonaphthylthiourea terminated PAMAM 4.0 dendrimer as an off-white solid (102 mg). 1H nmr (D2O): δ 2.65; 3.02; 3.30; 3.66; 8.05; 8.42; 8.59; 8.67. 13 C nmr (D2O): δ 33.2; 38.7; 43.2; 43.7; 47.8; 54.0; 54.3; 56.7; 131.0; 131.3; 131.9; 135.9; 138.0; 139.6; 143.8; 144.1; 145.6; 176.2; 176.5; 186.0.
