Structure of Nanoparticles Derived from Designer Surfactant TPGS‐750‐M in Water, As Used in Organic Synthesis

Abstract: Using density functional theory and the COSMO-RS implicit solvent model, we predict the structure and physical chemical properties of nanomicelles derived from the designer surfactant TPGS-750-M used in organic synthesis. We predict that the influence of chain length of the PEG region is low, while the termination of the PEG chain (-OH vs.-OCH ) plays a very large role. The interfacial tension is considerably lower between the micellar and water phases for the -OH than the -OCH terminated surfactant, and our c… Show more

“…Under the surfactant catalysis, the water‐promoted aggregation of TPGS‐750‐M enables the formation of nanomicelles, which surround the water‐insoluble organic substrates and provide a facile environment for reaction. As water should participate in the reaction, the organizational aspects of the formed micelles, which place water within the PEG region and close to the inner cores also facilitate the essential conversion . During the reactions, the steps that need water may take place outside the micelle's inner core to afford the product, which then re‐enters to undergo the following conversion.…”

“…Among three surfactants, TPGS‐750‐M gave the best result, providing guanidine 5 a in 60 % yield (Table , entry 3–5). The superiority of this surfactant over the other could be explained by highly stable and suitable size of particle formed in water, which could accelerate the reaction . Changing to more hydrophobic hypervalent iodine(III), BTB (Bis( tert ‐butylcarbonyloxy)iodobenzene) resulted in slightly lower yield of 5 a (Table , entry 6).…”

[15] Changing to more hydrophobic hypervalent iodine(III), BTB (Bis(tert-butylcarbonyloxy)iodobenzene) resulted in slightly lower yield of 5a (Table 1, entry 6).
