The purposes of this paper were to improve both fouling and chlorine resistance by increasing the hydrophilicity of the reverse osmosis membrane. In order to improve chlorine resistance, the surface of RO membrane was activated by ultraviolet irradiation, and then it was modified by the sol-gel method using Octyltriethoxysilane (OcTES) such as the silane coupling agent to low sensitivity to chlorine, thereby the polyamide active layer was protected and chlorine resistance was improved. In addition, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether (PGPE) and sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (SPE) coating with different number of epoxides, ring opening reaction of epoxide improved the anti-fouling resistance. The surface modification condition was optimized by FT-IR, XPS, and contact angle analysis. As a result, the permeability reduction rate of the silane-epoxy modified membrane after the fouling test was decreased about 1.5 times as compared with that of the commercial membrane. And the salt rejection was maintained over 90% at $20,000ppm{\times}hr$ even after chlorine resistance test.

This paper describes the very efficient and highly enantioselective ring opening of terminal epoxides with alkyl and arene sulfonic acid. The dinuclear chiral (salen) Co complexes bearing Lewis acids of Al, Ga and In catalyze the reaction enantioselectively in the presence of tetrabutylammonium chloride using tert-butyl methyl ether as a solvent. The variation of the anion of the tetra butyl ammonium salt has significant impact on the reactivity and selectivity of the asymmetric ring opening of phenyl glycidyl ether with p-toluenesulfonic acid. The order of reactivity and selectivity was found to be $Cl^-$ > $l^-$ > $Br^-$ > $OH^-$. Strong synergistic effects of the different Lewis acid centers of Co-Al, Co-Ga and Co-In complexes were observed in the catalytic process. The dinuclear chiral salen catalyst containing $AlCl_3$ was found to be most active and highly enantioselective (91% ee).

The base-catalysed carbonato or oxalato ring opening of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$(3,2,3-tet=4,7-diazadecane-1,10-diamine, $C_2O_4$=oxalate) has been investigated in aqueous solution and in mixed aqueous-organic solvent. The rearrangement of 3,2,3-tet and carbonato or oxalato ring opening of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$ occurred via the dissociation of one of the two coordinating carbonato or oxalato oxygen atoms. The resulting product was cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)(OCO_2\;or\;OC_2O_3)_3].$ It has been suggested that the base-catalysed reaction of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$ takes place via the Dcb(dissociative conjugated base) mechanism. The other oxygen atom of carbonato or oxalato was dissociated continuously to give cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+.$ Cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+$ was isomerized to cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+.$

2-Methoxy-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran ($1_a$), 2-ethoxy-3,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran ($1_b$), and 2-ethoxy-3-methyl-6-ethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran ($1_c$) were prepared by (4 + 2) cycloaddition reaction from the corresponding vinyl ketones and alkyl vinyl ethers. Compounds $1_{a-c}$ were ring-open polymerized by cationic catalyst to obtain alternating head-to-head (H-H) copolymers. For comparison, copolymer of head-to-tail (H-T) was also prepared by free radical copolymerization of the mixture of the corresponding monomers. The H-H copolymer exhibited some differences in its $^1H$ NMR and IR spectra. However, significant differences were showed between the H-H and H-T copolymers in the $^{13}C$ NMR spectra. Also noteworthy was that$T_g$ value of H-H copolymer was higher than that of the corresponding H-T structure. Decomposition temperature of the H-H copolymer was lower than that of the H-T copolymer. All the H-H and H-T copolymers were soluble in common solvents.

We used dipodal type bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMA) silane coupling agent to modify silica nanoparticles to introduce secondary amino groups on the silica surface. These grafted N-H groups were reacted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to introduce polymerizable methacrylate groups on the silica surface. After modification reaction, we used several analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA) and solid state $^{13}C$ cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to analyze the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration on the modification degree between N-H groups on the silica surface and epoxide groups of GMA. We found increased introduction of methacrylate groups on the silica surface by ring opening reaction of epoxide groups of GMA with N-H groups on BTMA treated silica with increased reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration within our experimental conditions.

Glycolides were polymerized by PPG or Pluronic(PN) to give A-B-A block copolyesters consisting of polyglycolide(A) and polypropylene glycol(B) or polyglycolide(A) and PN (B). Lactones were easily copolymerized with polyethers by ester interchange reaction even in the absence of catalyst. It is because PPG and PN are telechelic polyethers having hydroxy groups on their both ends. When the feed ratio of PPG(M$_{n}$=4,000) and PN(M$_{n}$=11,500) were over 5 and 10 wt% .elative to glycolide, respectively, the polymerization of glycolide took place from the terminus hydroxy groups of PPG or PN to produce the desired A-B-A block copolymers in high yields. The molecular weights of the copolymers, which estimated from the monomer conversions and the feed ratios of PPG and PN, could be controlled by changing the kind of terminus hydroxy of polyether and the feed molar ratio of PPG and PN. PN.

A new chemosensor based on rhodamine B (1) for $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ was synthesized by one-step condensation reaction of rhodamine B hydrazide and Azo dye. Studying for its fluorogenic and colorimetric behaviors towards various metal ions, extreme sensitivity and selectivity were achieved by the detection of $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ over other commonly coexistent metal ions, which were accompanied by ring opening of a rhodamine spirocycle framework. In acetonitrile, the presence of $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ induces the formation of a Dye 1-ion complex, which was deduced by spectroscopy.

Several star-polymers with aliphatic cores were synthesized by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of $\xi$-caprolactone using stannous 2-ethyl-hexanoate as a catalyst. The star-polymers were thoroughly analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, temperature gradient interaction chromatography and $\^$13/C-NMR to obtain detailed information of the molecular structure. The imperfection of the star-polymers seemed to be originated from restricted participation of sterically hindered hydroxyl groups of initiator. The synthesized star-polymers had narrow molecular weight distributions. Various reaction conditions to control the imperfection were studied.

For the development of new synthetic method for unnatural amino acid esters, N-aryl phenylglycine Ο-alkyl esters 4a∼i were synthesized through base-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1,5-diphenylhydantoins 1a∼b and Ο-alkylation in 16∼87％ yield. An efficient and practical route for final 4a∼i was that the starting materials 1a∼b were heated in dil-methanol for 30 minute using sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and evaporated. In addition, reaction mixture were refluxed for 1 h in DMF. All synthetic process from hydantoin to N-aryl phenylglycine Ο-alkyl esters 4a∼i could be carried out in one-pot without isolation of intermediates.
