Amphiphilic Block Copolymers as Bile Acid Sorbents: 1. Synthesis of Polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-trimethylammoniumethylene acrylamide chloride)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The systematic investigation of the synthesis of polystyrene-b-poly(N,N,N-trimethylammoniumethylene acrylamide chloride) was accomplished by employing both polystyrene-b-poly(tert-butyl acrylate) and its hydrolyzed derivative, polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) as starting materials, and coupling them with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMED). The various reactions and intermediates we examined include aluminum amides, acid chlorides, and imides derived from carbodiimides, all in a variety of solvents. We present below our investigation of several synthetic routes and conclude that the carbodiimide coupling of PS-b-PAA with DMED followed by quaternization and counterion exchange is the most effective method of achieving the target. A brief discussion of the merits of each procedure in the context of block copolymers is given, and IR spectroscopic evidence for the postpolymerization synthesis of the poly(acrylamide) block is provided.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
