2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl bromide (TMPO+Br−) was found to mediate selectively the hydroxylation of thymine by water into thymine glycol at room temperature. Almost quantitative yield of thymine glycol was obtained at the molar ratio of [TMPO+Br−]0/[Thymine]0 = 2 in feed under neutral conditions. The reaction mixture showed the ESR spectrum characteristic of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TMPO·).

We demonstrate a method to modify the surface of graphene_oxide (GO) by grafting polymer chains using nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMRP). Surface modification by NMRP was achieved using GO functionalized with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO, T) to produce graphene oxide-TEMPO (GO-T). GO prepared from graphite by the Hummer's method was facilely functionalized in one step with T. Graft polymerization reactions of styrene and isoprene were carried out using nitroxide chemistry to control the polymerization and the 'grafting from the surface' polymerization technique. GO-T acts as a multifunctional macroalkoxyamine initiating and controlling the polymerization in the presence of monomer. The grafting reactions were performed by dispersing GO-T in dimethylformamide and heating at 130 C in the presence of monomer to form graphene oxide-g-polystyrene-TEMPO (GO-g-PS-T) and graphene oxide-g-polyisoprene-TEMPO FT-IR, Raman, XPS, XRD, TGA and TEM data are consistent with the attachment of the TEMPO group to the GO surface.and.with polystyrene and polyisoprene being grafted onto the GO surface. The amount of PS and PI grafted to GO-T was estimated from TGA data to be approximately 34% for a 7 h reaction time. and 68% for a 144 h reaction time, respectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
