N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-l-tyrosine dimethyl ester (7) as a chiral bioactive diphenolic monomer was prepared in three steps. The aim of this work was to obtain novel optically and biologically active pseudo-poly(aminoacid)s (PAA)s that are more soluble in common organic solvents while maintaining their high thermal stability. Thus, several new, highly soluble, thermally stable, opticallyactive and
In this study Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and organo-modified chiral LDHs were synthesized in one step under green conditions. Co-precipitation reaction of the Al(NO3)3·9H2O, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and different biocompatible N,N-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-L-amino acids was carried out in aqueous solution in a short time by an ultrasonic technique. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques showed that the resulting products have good crystallinity and uniform morphology. The presence of the bioactive surfactants in the interlayer space of LDH was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry analysis techniques. As expected, the positions of the basal reflections in the XRD patterns of modified samples are shifted to higher d value indicating the expansion of the interlayer distance. Thermal properties were investigated by the thermogravimetric analysis technique.

In the present work, several novel optically active nanostructure poly(amide-imide)s (PAI)s were synthesized via step-growth polymerization reaction of chiral diacids based on pyromellitic dianhydride-derived dicarboxylic acids containing different natural amino acids such as l-alanine, S-valine, l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-methionine, and l-phenylalanine with 2-(3,5-diaminophenyl)-benzimidazole under green conditions using molten tetrabutylammonium bromide. The new optically active PAIs were achieved in good yields and moderate inherent viscosity up to 0.41 dL/g. The synthesized polymers were characterized with FT-IR, H-1-NMR, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), elemental and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. These polymers show high solubility in organic polar solvents due to the presence of amino acid and benzimidazole pendant group at room temperature. FE-SEM results show that, these chiral nanostructured PAIs have spherical shapes and the particle size is around 20-80 nm. On the basis of TGA data, such PAIs are thermally stable and can be classified as self-extinguishing polymers. In addition due to the existence of amino acids in the polymer backbones, these macromolecules are not only optically active but also could be biodegradable and thus may well be classified under environmentally friendly materials.

N,N'-Pyromelliticdiimido-di-l-alanine (1), N,N'-Pyromelliticdiimido-di-l-phenylalanine (2), and N,N'-Pyromelliticdiimido-di-l-leucine (3) were prepared from the reaction of Pyromellitic dianhydride with corresponding l-amino acids in a mixture of glacial acetic acid and pyridine solution (3/2 ratio) under refluxing conditions. A series of poly (amide-imide)s containing l-amino acids were prepared from the synthesized dicarboxylic acids with two synthetic aromatic diamines in an ionic liquid (IL) as a green, safe and eco-friendly medium and also reactions catalysis agent. Evaluation of data shows that IL is the better polyamidation medium than the reported method and the catalysis stand on the higher inherent viscosities of the obtained PAIs and the rate of polymerizations beyond the greener reaction conditions and deletion of some essential reagents in conventional manners. Characterization were performs by means of IR, MS and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, specific rotation, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric techniques. Molecular weights of the obtained polymers were evaluated viscometrically, and the measured inherent viscosities were in the range 0.43-0.85 dL/g. These polymers were readily soluble in many organic solvents. These polymers still kept good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures in the range of 94-154A degrees C, and the decomposition temperature under the nitrogen atmosphere for 10% weight-loss temperatures in excess of 308A degrees C.
