Embodiment 1

[0120] Embodiment 1 prepares 2-chloroethyl methacrylate

[0121]

[0122] A solution of 530 ml (7.91 mol) of 2-chloroethanol and 1210 ml (14.96 mol) of pyridine in 3LEtOAc was cooled to 5° C. in an ice bath and 820 ml (6.71 mol) of acryloyl chloride (tech., 80 %) in 1 L of EtOAc such that the internal temperature was kept below or equal to 17 °C. This took 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was slowly cooled to room temperature overnight. The slurry was then filtered and the filter cake of pyridine hydrochloride was washed with about 3 L of EtOAc. The filtrate was divided into 3 approximately equal fractions and each fraction was thus refined. Each was extracted with 2 x 1 L of 2N HCI, 2 x 500 ml of DI water and 1 x 500 ml of 5 wt% sodium bicarbonate, then the three fractions were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (764 g). After filtration, the EtOAc solution was treated with 11.1 g hydroquinone and concentrated in vacuo to yield 1245.7 g pale yellow oil. ...

Embodiment 2

[0123] Example 2 Preparation of kynurenine chromophore compounds

[0124]

[0125] A reaction mixture containing 103.0 g (681 mmol) of 2-amino-3-hydroxyacetophenone, 125.1 g (842 mmol) of 2-chloroethyl methacrylate and 122.6 g (887 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 930 ml of DMSO was processed for 5 hours Warm to 85°C and stir overnight (16 hours) at this temperature. After this time, TLC (silica gel, hexane:acetone 3:1) showed the reaction was complete. After cooling to 48 °C, the reaction mixture was partitioned between 2 L of DI water and 500 ml of toluene. After a second 500 ml toluene extraction of the aqueous phase, the combined organic layers were washed twice with 1 L of 10 wt% potassium carbonate. The organic phase was then passed through a 1253 g silica gel (70-230 mesh) plug, eluting with 3:1 hexane:acetone until no more product was visible (TLC) leaving the plug. This used 6 L of elution solvent. The eluate was concentrated under vacuum to yield 199 g of amb...

Abstract

A composition comprising a polymer backbone and at least one side group, wherein the side group comprises a benzene ring-based chromophore comprising a ketone at the 1-position, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group at the 2-position, and an oxygen atom at the 3-position of the benzene ring having the following formula: wherein R1 is H, an alkyl group, or comprises an amino acid moiety or derivative thereof; R2 and R3 are individually H, alkyl, or any moiety with a vinyl functionality; R4 is an alkyl group, any moiety with a vinyl functionality, a counterpart alkyl²ne group, or a sugar moiety; and X is an optional electron-donating group linked to the benzene ring at the 4, 5, or 6 position. The chromophore is a kynurenine-based compound. Methods of making and using the composition are also provided. The composition can be used in an ophthalmic lens or device for protecting the retina by blocking UV rays and filtering violet rays.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Application Serial No. 60 / 893,065, filed March 5, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background technique [0002] There are various dyes proposed for use as polymerizable compounds for the coloring of optical plastics for lenses and ocular devices. Most of these relate to various biphenylazo or triphenyldiazo compounds. These are often claimed to provide UV protection as well as blue light blocking capabilities due to their yellow or orange color. Since the human crystalline lens is yellowish in youth and yellowish brown in old age, these dyes serve a purpose of providing UV protection in addition to their blue light filtering ability. [0003] Additionally, U.S. Patent 6,825,975 (Gallas) discloses optical filters prepared by oxidatively polymerizing 3-hydroxykynurenine to form complex visible light-absorbing compounds having broadly different Acid absorption spectrum. Furthermore, this s...
