Reversible Capture of Electrogenerated Intermediates by Liquefiable Micro-particles Containing an Amphiphilic Tag

抄録

Liquefiable micelle-like micro-particles possessing maleimide moieties on the surface, which allow reversible capture of electrogenerated iminium cation intermediates of pyrrolidine derivatives, were prepared. It was found that the particles efficiently captured the aimed intermediates, allowing separation from the electrolyte solution, and could be made to release the tagged product simply by thermal liquefaction. The tag introduced to the pyrrolidine was easily removed by electro-oxidative carbon-sulfur bond cleavage under mild condition.
