Chapter 30, Problem 30.57P

Researchers at Rutgers University have developed biocompatible polymers that degrade into nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, the reaction of two equivalents of benzyl salicylate and one equivalent of sebacoyl chloride forms a poly (anhydride ester) called PolyAspirin, which hydrolyzes to salicylic acid (an anti-inflammatory agent) and sebacic acid, which is excreted. This technology can perhaps be used for localized drug delivery at specific sites of injury. What is the structure of PolyAspirin?

Researchers at Rutgers University have developed biocompatible polymers that degrade into nonsteroidal antiinammatory drugs. For example, the reaction of two equivalents of benzyl salicylate and one equivalent of sebacoyl chloride forms a poly(anhydride ester) called PolyAspirin, which hydrolyzes to salicylic acid (an anti-inammatory agent) and sebacic acid, which is excreted. This technology can perhaps be used for localized drug delivery at specic sites of injury. What is the structure of PolyAspirin?
In reference to cloth or fiber, the term acetate usually means cellulose acetate, a semisynthetic polymer made by treating cellulose with acetic anhydride. Cellulose acetate is spun into yarn by dissolving it in acetone or methylene chloride and forcing the solution through spinnerets into warm air, where the solvent evaporates. An organic chemistry student wore a long-sleeved acetate blouse to the laboratory. She was rinsing a warm separatory funnel with acetone when the pressure rose and blew out the stopper. Her right arm was drenched with acetone, but she was unconcerned because acetone is not very toxic. About ten minutes later, the right arm of the student’s blouse disintegrated into a pile of white fluff, leaving her with a ragged short sleeve and the tatters of a cuff remaining around her wrist. Explain how a substance as innocuous as acetone ruined the student’s blouse.
