Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a stable selenol and its polyselenouric acid ester, preparation and recovery methods and applications. The polyselenouric acid ester is a novel dynamic selenium-containing polymer with good thermal and oxygen responsiveness, belonging to the field of selenium-containing polymers. Background Technology
[0002] Selenium-containing polymers have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent stimulus-response properties and bioactivity, making them promising for applications in biomedicine, high-refractive-index materials, and biodegradable and recyclable materials. However, despite the numerous reported selenium-containing structures, the structural diversity of selenium-containing polymers is mainly limited to selenide (R-Se-R) and diselelenide (R-Se-Se-R) bonds. Because the reactive selenium-containing functional groups are unstable, existing methods for constructing selenium-containing polymers typically employ traditional polymerization reactions (such as free radical polymerization, step-growth polymerization, and ring-opening polymerization), which introduce Se-Se bonds into the reactants and rely on the remaining functional groups (hydroxyl, amine, double bonds, etc.) in the reactants to participate in the polymerization reaction. This results in a limited variety of polymers with restricted functions and a lack of universality.
[0003] Polymerization using selenools (R-SeH) is a more efficient and simpler method for preparing selenium-containing polymers, and the Se-H bond energy is relatively low (276 kJ / mol). -1 This ensures its high reactivity and wide reaction range. However, the highly oxidizable nature of selenools hinders their separation, purification, and handling under atmospheric conditions, making them unsuitable for direct use in polymerization reactions. Although Pan Xiangqiang et al. developed an in-situ ring-opening selenolactone method to obtain selenools for polymerization reactions, this method is time-consuming (24 hours), and the obtained selenools are easily oxidized, limiting their application. Xu Huaping et al. synthesized a series of selenium-containing polymers containing diseleno bonds and selenide bonds, but their structures are relatively simple and lack thermal responsiveness, making it impossible to recover the selenium-containing components. Overall, current selenium-containing polymers suffer from problems such as simple structure, difficulty in recovery, and poor responsiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above analysis, the present invention provides a stable selenool, a heat- and oxygen-responsive polyselenouric acid ester based on the stable selenool, and its preparation, recovery methods and applications.

[0010] The stabilized selenool and the preparation method of polyselenouryl ester based on the stabilized selenool of the present invention are as follows: The method for preparing the stabilized selenol: Under ice bath conditions, elemental selenium, sodium borohydride, and ethanol were added to N,N-dimethylformamide in a molar ratio of 1:2:8. After the reaction system changed from dark brown to colorless, formic acid in an equimolar amount to sodium borohydride was added to form a selenochemical reagent. The reaction system was then brought to room temperature, and a brominated molecule with at least two functionalities was added, yielding a stable polyfunctional selenool. The stable polyfunctional selenool was then purified by ether extraction. The brominated molecule with at least two functionalities was prepared by a nucleophilic substitution reaction between an alcohol with the corresponding functionality and a brominated reagent.
[0011] The stabilized selenool can be directly reacted with diisocyanate monomers, dihalogenated monomers, diene monomers, diacetylene monomers, and dithiol monomers to obtain selenium-containing polymers.
[0012] Preparation method of two-component polyselenouric acid ester: The reaction temperature was controlled at 0-20℃.

[0019] The polyselenouryl ester described herein is both thermally and oxygen-responsive.
[0020] The degradation and recycling of polyselenouric acid ester can be achieved by utilizing its thermal responsiveness. The method is as follows: polyselenouric acid ester is placed in solvent I and heated at 40-100℃ for 0.01-2 days to complete the degradation. After adding deionized water, the selenium-containing monomer precipitates at the bottom of the container and is recovered to obtain the selenium-containing component. The volume ratio of deionized water to solvent I is (0.5-10):1.
[0021] The oxygen responsiveness of the polyselenocyanate can be utilized in the preparation of selenium-releasing drugs. The polyselenocyanate can react with oxygen and reactive oxygen species in the service environment to degrade the polyselenocyanate and release selenium-containing components, which can be utilized by organisms.
[0022] This invention provides, on the one hand, the preparation of a selenool with a β-oxygen structure. This selenool overcomes the limitation of the instability of selenium-containing small molecules in the environment, thereby obtaining a high-purity selenool for polymerization reactions requiring a quantitative functional group ratio. On the other hand, existing selenium-containing polymers are limited in variety and their preparation methods are singular, only allowing the introduction of the selenium-containing structure into the reactant monomer, relying on the participation of other functional groups while selenium cannot participate in the polymerization reaction. This invention overcomes this limitation by directly reacting the aforementioned selenool with an isocyanate of at least two functionalities to prepare a polymer polyselenourate with a novel selenium-containing structure and selenourate bonds. Polyselenouryl esters (PSEs) possess a wide range of tunable properties, stable structure, simple preparation methods, rapid reaction rates, few side reactions during polymerization, high molecular weight, and suitable polydispersity index. They also exhibit excellent optical properties and good mechanical properties at both room temperature and low temperatures. Furthermore, PSEs demonstrate good thermal and oxygen responsiveness, enabling the chemical recovery of selenools under simple heating conditions. They can also react with oxygen and reactive oxygen species in the service environment to degrade PSEs, releasing bioavailable selenium-containing components. This provides new opportunities for the development of organoselenium chemistry, selenium-containing polymers, and their in vitro and in vivo applications.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a stable selenool and its polyselenouric acid ester, a method for preparation and recovery, and applications. The polyselenouric acid ester forms a selenouric acid ester bond through a direct reaction between the selenool group and the isocyanate group, exhibiting good thermal and oxygen responsiveness. This results in good thermal reversibility and reprocessability, and the ester can be degraded by oxygen during service, releasing bioavailable selenium, thus possessing promising in vitro and in vivo applications. The polymerization reaction is fast and low-cost, producing materials with good mechanical properties. Furthermore, the chemical recovery of selenium-containing monomers can be achieved under heating conditions, providing new opportunities for the development of organoselenium chemistry, selenium-containing polymers, and their in vitro and in vivo applications.

The mixture was stirred thoroughly until the solution changed from dark brown to colorless. Then, 4 mL of formic acid was slowly added, followed by 7.8 g of dibromohexanediol. The mixture was stirred thoroughly for 5 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was extracted three times with 200 mL of diethyl ether. The extracted diethyl ethers were combined and washed twice with 200 mL of saturated brine. The washed diethyl ethers were concentrated to obtain pure hexanediol diselenol, with a total yield of 61%.

Figure 35 As shown; Under the same conditions as in Example 2, the mechanical properties of the polystyrene in Example 7 were tested. Due to the addition of the diol soft segment, its mechanical properties were greatly improved, and the resulting stress-strain curves are shown below. Figure 36 As shown.
[0083] Example 8 The polyselenocyanate synthesized in Example 3 was chemically recovered. 2 g of polyselenocyanate was dissolved in 20 mL of DMSO, heated to 100°C, and stirred for 20 h. After stirring, the heated system was cooled, resulting in a large amount of white precipitate. The filtrate was collected by filtration; it was an oxide of polyethylene glycol diselenocyanate. This precipitate was precipitated in 100 mL of deionized water, and the yellow precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm and washed three times with 100 mL of water. The resulting yellow viscous substance was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol, and under nitrogen protection in an ice bath, 1 g of sodium borohydride was added. After reacting for 15 min, 7 g of citric acid was added. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, and 50 mL of deionized water and 100 mL of ethyl acetate were added. The mixture was washed twice with 100 mL of saturated ammonium chloride solution, and then twice with 100 mL of saturated brine. The organic phase was collected, and rotary evaporation yielded the recovered product, polyethylene glycol diselenocyanate (1.02 g).
[0084] Among them, the degradation images of polyselenouryl are as follows: Figure 37 As shown, a large amount of white precipitate appeared after cooling; The proton and selenium spectra of the recovered polyethylene glycol diselenool are as follows: Figure 38 and Figure 39 As shown, the selenool monomer recovered using this method has high purity, consistent with that before the reaction.
[0085] Comparative Example 1 Nitrogen gas was introduced to maintain a nitrogen atmosphere in the flask. 1.62 g (10 mmol) of hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2.90 g of polyethylene glycol diselenoyl alcohol (9 mmol), and 40 mL of N,N-dimethylacetamide were added to the flask. The mixture was mechanically stirred at 200 rpm for 0.5 h. The reaction system was then precipitated in 200 mL of methanol, washed three times, and evacuated for 24 h to remove excess solvent, yielding a pale yellow polyselenouryl ester solid. At this point, due to the non-1:1 functional group ratio of isocyanate to selenol, the polymerization was incomplete, resulting in a low molecular weight and poor mechanical properties in the polyselenouryl ester product.
[0086] The test was performed using gel permeation chromatography with tetrahydrofuran as the eluent, and calibration was performed using a monodisperse polymethyl methacrylate standard. The results are as follows: Figure 40 As shown.
[0087] Under the same conditions as in Example 2, the mechanical properties of the polystyrene in Comparative Example 1 were tested. Due to its low molecular weight and poor mechanical properties, the obtained stress-strain curve is as follows. Figure 41 As shown.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
