Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Carbonates and cyclic carbonates are very interesting functions in organic chemistry. They find applications in a large variety of fields such as polymers, solvents and organic synthesis.

[0014] In this family of carbonates, cyclic carbonates with six members ring are of particular interest as they have a specific conformation and internal energy which allow them to exhibit unique reactive properties and unique solvatation properties.

[0015] For long people have tried to produce molecules carrying two six members rings on the same molecule. This has been partially resolved through complex synthesis of one six members ring cyclic carbonate with side chain and their attachment to a second six members ring cyclic carbonate with a side chain.

[0016] The problem to be solved to achieve new useful properties in polymer science, solvent behavior and organic synthesis is to have molecules with two six members ring cyclic carbonate directly linked to each other or fused to each other via organic cyclic entities.

[0017] The present invention solves this problem with new molecules having such Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] structures such as for example but not limited to 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione or Tetrahydro-4H,5H-furo[2,3-d:5,4-d]bis[1,3]dioxine-2,7-dione. Similar fused Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] can be produced from anhydro glucitols, 2,2,5,5-Tetrakis-Hydroxymethyl Cyclopentanone, 4-Hydroxytetrahydropyran-3,3,5,5-Tetramethanol, 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylol cyclohexanol, mono saccharides for example but not limited to Galactopyranose, or disaccharides for example but not limited to Lactulose or saccharose.

[0018] Those molecules can be produced by classic and known chemical synthesis path such as the use of chloroformates, more particularly Trichloroethylchloroformate or alternatively with phosgene, di and triphosgene or Carbonyldiimidazole.

[0019] Those Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] molecules allow the production of polymers for example but not limited to polymers with amines, acids, alcohols, lactones and thiols having increased hydrophilicity and good mechanical resistance.

[0020] Those Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] molecules allow the modification of proteins and peptides such as for example but not limited to glycosilation, side chain attachment or bioavailability modifications or physical properties modification.

[0021] Those Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] molecules allow the modification of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans such as for example but not limited to glycosilation, side chain attachment or bioavailability modifications or physical properties modification.

[0022] Those Bis[(1,3)-Dioxine-2-one] molecules allow the creation of novel solid support for example, but not limited to novel solid media for the production of batteries and electrical devices. More particularly, due to its unique spatial conformation, the 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione can, for example but not limited to, be co-crystalized with ions such as but not limited to ionic form of Zinc, Lithium, Sodium, Iron, Lead, Cadmium to name some.

EXAMPLE 1

[0023] 100 mM of finely grounded Pentaerythritol is added to 350 ml anhydrous diethylene glycol diethylether. A solution of 202 mM of 2,2,2-Trichloethyl Chloroformate in anhydrous diethyleneglycol dimethylether is added drop wise under agitation over a period of around 8 hours with a constant flow of Argon through the reactor. The mixture is heated between 160 and 170 C. and stirred for 10 to 60 hours until the distillate does not contain HCl. Anhydrous diethylene glycol diethylether is added to keep the reaction volume around 300-350 ml.

[0024] The reaction mixture is cooled at around zero degree and the product 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione precipitates. It is filtered and washed diethylether.

[0025] Around 75 mM of solid 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione was obtained. The product has a single 1H-NMR signal at 4.4 ppm in DMSO and C13-NMR signals at 147(s) (Carbonyl), 68.8(s) and 39.5(m) (Quaternary).

EXAMPLE 2

[0026] 20 mM of 2,5-anhydro glucitol prepared accordingly to for example the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,480,651 dated 25 Nov. 1969 is added to 200 ml anhydrous Dioxane. A solution of 40 mM of 2,2,2-Trichloethyl Chloroformate in anhydrous Dioxane is added drop wise under agitation in an Argon blanketed reactor. The mixture is heated at around 80 C. and stirred for 10 to 60 hours.

[0027] The solution is cooled to 15-20 C. and a solution of 41 mM of Triethylamine in anhydrous Dioxane is added drop wise over a period of 4 hours. The reaction mixture is heated up between 80 and 100 C. for 3 hours with a slight current of Argon to remove the excess of Triethylamine.

[0028] The reaction mixture is cooled at room temperature and filtered to remove the Triethylamine chlorhydrate and recover 200 ml of clear Dioxane solution of 20 mM of modified 2,5-anhydro glucitol.

[0029] The reaction mixture is concentrated under vacuum and cristalised in 2-Methyl-Tetrahydrofuran, the product Tetrahydro-4H,5H-furo[2,3-d:5,4-d]bis[1,3]dioxine-2,7-dione is recovered.

EXAMPLE 3

[0030] 5 mM of the 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione obtained in the example 1 is dissolved in THF. The solution is poured drop wise at room temperature in a THF solution containing 5 mM of the diamine, 1,4-Bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine. The Polyhydroxyurethane formed in seconds is a water swelling polyhydroxyurethane.

EXAMPLE 4

[0031] 10 mM of the 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane-3,9-dione obtained in the example 1 is dissolved in 1,4 Dioxane. We add to the solution 20 mM of Zinc Iodide. The mixture is poured on a glass plate and dried.

[0032] The dried thin solid film formed with a strong attachment to the glass surface exhibits an electric potential and an electrical surface current.
