Extraction-photometric determination of indium in zinc-base alloys with bromopyrogallol red

The extraction-photometric determination of indium at the 5 p.p.m. level in highpurity zinc and zinc-base alloys is described. After a preliminary separation of indium by isopropyl ether extraction from hydrobromic acid medium, indium is determined by extraction into benzyl alcohol of its complex with bromopyrogallol red at pH 9.0. It is shown that 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 complexes can be formed in aqueous and water-ethanol media; the 1:3 complex reported earlier was not found. The composition of the complexes extracted into benzyl alcohol from aqueous solutions at pH 6.5 and 9.0, was found to be 1:2.     

Facile enantiodivergent approach to 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridones. First total synthesis of both enantiomers of pipermethystine

[reaction: see text]. A novel enantiodivergent approach to 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridones using a ring closing metathesis and a lipase-mediated kinetic resolution as key steps is described and applied to the first synthesis of both enantiomers of pipermethystine.     

Total syntheses of (-)-alpha-kainic acid and (+)-alpha-allokainic acid via stereoselective C-H insertion and efficient 3,4-stereocontrol

Reported herein is a novel approach to the total syntheses of (-)-alpha-kainic acid and (+)-alpha-allokainic acid, where the stereochemistries on C(2), C(3), and C(4) of the pyrrolidine core were introduced efficiently and selectively. A regio- and stereoselective C-H insertion reaction was utilized to prepare the gamma-lactam as an intermediate. A Michael-type cyclization of phenylsulfone with a conjugated acetylenic ketone was developed to prepare the tricyclic ketone as a key intermediate for (-)-alpha-kainic acid. Subsequently, a stereoselective dephenylsulfonylation was carried out successfully to secure the cis relationship at C(3) and C(4) centers. An unprecedented acetylation on the phenylsulfone, followed by a stereoselective dephenylsulfonylation, secured the trans relationship at C(3) and C(4) centers in (+)-alpha-allokainic acid.     

Indium-mediated asymmetric Barbier-type propargylations: additions to aldehydes and ketones and mechanistic investigation of the organoindium reagents

We report a simple, efficient, and general method for the indium-mediated enantioselective propargylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes under Barbier-type conditions in a one-pot synthesis affording the corresponding chiral alcohol products in very good yield (up to 90%) and enantiomeric excess (up to 95%). The extension of this methodology to ketones demonstrated the need for electrophilic ketones more reactive than acetophenone as the reaction would not proceed with just acetophenone. Using the Lewis acid indium triflate [In(OTf)(3)] induced regioselective formation of the corresponding homoallenic alcohol product from acetophenone. However, this methodology demonstrated excellent chemoselectivity in formation of only the corresponding secondary homopropargylic alcohol product in the presence of a ketone functionality. Investigation of the organoindium intermediates under our reaction conditions shows the formation of allenylindium species, and we suggest that these species contain an indium(III) center. In addition, we have observed the presence of a shiny, indium(0) nugget throughout the reaction, irrespective of the stoichiometry, indicating disproportionation of indium halide byproduct formed during the reaction.     

Novel deoxygenation reaction of epoxides by indium

[reaction: see text] A novel, mild, ecofriendly protocol for the deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes using indium metal and indium(I) chloride or ammonium chloride in alcohol has been developed. It was necessary for the presence of good radical-stabilizing groups adjacent to the oxirane ring for the deoxygenation reaction to occur. It is proposed that this reaction occurs through an SET process with indium as an electron donor.     

Pipermethystine,a novel pyridone alkaloid from piper methysticum

A new alkaloid, pipermethystine, isolated from the leaves of Piper methysticum is shown to be 5-acetoxy-5,6-dihydro-1-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-2(1H)-pyridone (1) by PMR, CMR and mass spectrometry and by its conversion to phenylpropanoic acid and 5-acetoxy-5,6-dihydro-2-(1H)-pyridone (5).     

Direct synthesis of B-allyl and B-allenyldiisopinocampheylborane reagents using allyl or propargyl halides and indium metal under Barbier-type conditions

We report the first one-pot process for the asymmetric addition of allyl, methallyl, and propargyl groups to aldehydes and ketones using B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane ((d)DIP-Cl) and indium metal. Under Barbier-type conditions, indium metal was used to generate allyl- and allenylindium intermediates, and subsequent reaction with (d)DIP-Cl successfully promoted the transfer of these groups to boron forming the corresponding chiral borane reagents. The newly formed borane reagents were reacted with aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding alcohol products in high yields and up to excellent enantioselectivity (98% ee). This method produced excellent enantioenriched secondary homoallylic alcohols from the allylation and methallylation of benzaldehyde. Using this method, the methallylation and cinnamylation of ketones afforded the highest enantioselectivities, while the propargylation of both aldehydes and ketones provided low enantiomeric excesses. In addition, this procedure provided the first synthesis of B-allenyldiisopinocampheylborane, which was characterized by (1)H and (11)B NMR spectroscopy. This is the first example of the direct synthesis of allylboranes that contained substitutions from the corresponding allyl bromide and indium, thereby expanding the utility of the DIP-Cl reagent. Hence, a general and straightforward route to these chiral organoborane reagents in one-pot has been developed along with the asymmetric Barbier-type allylation and propargylation of aldehyde and ketone substrates using these chiral organoborane reagents in subsequent coupling reactions.     

Addition Reactions of Benzenesulfinic Acid with Glycals and 1,2-Dibromosugars

The addition of benzenesulfinic acid to glycals was investigated under various conditions, and optimized yields of the glycosyl phenylsulfone products were obtained in the presence of tin tetrachloride as a catalyst. Double bond shift (Ferrier rearrangement) occurred in all cases except amicetal, which lacks a substituent at the allylic carbon. Glycosylation of benzenesulfinic acid with 1,2-dibromides was carried out using silver triflate as the promoter, and gave sulfinate esters as products by reaction at oxygen rather than at sulfur. The sulfinate esters were obtained as mixtures of stereoisomers at the stereogenic sulfur atom. Trapping of the sulfinates with carboxylate nucleophiles was observed during attempted oxidation with MCPBA.     

Preparation,surface morphology,and optical properties of indium(III) oxide nanoparticles by thermolysis of indium–poly(vinyl alcohol) coordination polymer

First report on the preparation of well-dispersed, indium(III) oxide (In₂O₃) nanoparticles with 22–35?nm size by polymer thermolysis is presented. Indium–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) coordination polymer films were prepared by ‘solution casting technique’ from the homogeneous aqueous solution of coordination polymer prepared using PVA and indium(III) nitrate as starting materials; subsequently the films were calcined at 550?°C to yield In₂O₃ nanoparticles. Both indium–PVA coordination polymer that served as the precursor and the titled nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy, and thermal analysis. Room temperature PL spectra of the prepared indium oxide nanoparticles showed intense blue emissions around 360, 410 and 430?nm, characteristic of indium oxide nanoparticles due to oxygen vacancies. The lower energy PL emission decreases with an increase of indium(III) content in the precursor. The size of the nanoparticles calculated from line broadening of XRD pattern (cubic; JCPDS: 06-0416) was found to be around 24?nm. The average particle size of the synthesized nanoparticles increased with metal ion content in the precursor coordination polymer.     

D-glycopyranosyl phenylsulfones: Acylation of their lithiated anions and reductive desulfonylation of the resulting acylated sulfones. A synthesis of α-D-C-glycosides

The lithiated anion of 3,4,6-tri-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-2-deoxy-α,β-D-glucopyronosyl phenylsulfone reacts with dimethylcarbonate and various phenyl esters to give stable acylated products. Subsequent reductive lithiation leads to enolates which undergo kinetic protonation to afford selectively α-D-C-glucosides.     

Catalytic Activity of Boron-Beta Zeolite Modified with Indium in the Epoxidation of Cinnamyl Alcohol

Liquid-phase epoxidation of cinnamyl alcohol was carried out with hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent using indium-containing boron- and aluminium-beta zeolites. It was proved that InO⁺ ions, created by oxidation of univalent indium cations incorporated into beta zeolite by reductive solid-state ion exchange, play an important role in the activation of hydrogen peroxide. The indium-hydroperoxo complex formed in beta zeolite pores was found to be accessible by the bulky cinnamyl alcohol molecules. Among the applied catalysts In/H[B]-beta (containing 7.6% In₂O₃/g) showed the highest selectivity in cinnamyl alcohol epoxidation.     

Spectrophotometric determination of indium(III) with the polymeric chromogenic reagent PV · FPAQ

Summary The polymeric chromogenic reagent PV · FPAQ has been synthesized by condensing 7-(4-formylphenylazo)-8-quinolinol (FPAQ) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). With indium(III) the reagent forms in weakly acidic media a water-soluble yellow complex, whose absorption maximum is at 445 nm. The molar absorptivity of the complex was found to be 3.16×10⁴ l · mol^–1 · cm^–1 and Sandell's sensitivity 3.6 ng · cm^–2. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0–30 g of indium(III) per 25 ml of solution. A Spectrophotometric method for the determination of indium has been worked out and applied to synthetic and authentic samples with satisfactory results.

Use of sodium tungstate as a permanent chemical modifier for slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of indium in soils

A number of chemical modifiers have been assessed for the direct determination of indium in soils using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry and slurry sampling. The best results were obtained when the graphite atomizer was impregnated with sodium tungstate, which acts as a permanent chemical modifier. Slurries were prepared by suspending 100 mg sample in a solution containing 1% (v/v) concentrated nitric acid and 10% (v/v) concentrated hydrofluoric acid and then 15-microL aliquots were directly introduced into the atomizer. Standard indium solutions prepared in the suspension medium in the range 4-80 microg L(-1) indium were used for calibration. The relative standard deviation for ten consecutive measurements of a 40 microg L(-1) indium solution was 2.8%. The limit of detection in soils was 0.1 microg g(-1). The reliability of the procedures was confirmed by analysing two standard reference materials and by using an alternative procedure.     

Determination of indium and tin by activation analysis using replacement substoichiometry

A new method for the determination of indium by activation analysis has been developed. It is based on the replacement of indium from indium dithizonate (in carbon tetrachloride) by a substoichiometric amount of aqueous mercury(II) solution. Preliminary steps are the extraction of indium from alkaline cyanide solution with an excess of dithizone solution and washing the extract with buffer solution. The time necessary for the separation is 10-20 min. With this method indium can be determined by using either short ((116m)In, t(1 2 ) = 54 min) or long-lived radioisotopes ((114m)In, t(1 2 = 50 d). As by the reaction (112)Sn (n, gamma)) (113)Sn (119d) --> (113)In (104 min), indium-113m is formed, which has a different gamma-spectrum from that of indium-114m, the determination of both indium and tin is possible. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of indium and tin in granite and gallium.     

Thiophenoxy-substituted polynaphthylimides: Synthesis and polymer-analogous transformations

New polynaphthylimides containing thiophenoxide substituents are prepared via the interaction of 5-phenylthiophenylene-1,3-diamine with dianhydrides of naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic acid and 4,4′-(1,4-phenylenedicarbonyl)-bis(naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic acid) under the conditions of high-temperature polycyclocondensation in phenolic solvents. The polymer-analogous oxidation of sulfide groups to sulfone groups yields previously undescribed polynaphthylimides with phenylsulfone substituents.

A new homoleptic sublimable indium(III) guanidinate, (In[(N(i)Pr)(2)CNMe(2)](3) (1), was synthesized from a facile high-yield procedure. Compound 1 crystallized is a P1 space group; a = 10.5989(14) ?, b = 11.0030(15) ?, c = 16.273(2) ?, α = 91.190(2)°, β = 96.561(2)°, γ = 115.555(2)°; R = 3.50%. Thermogravimetric analysis showed 1 to produce elemental indium as a residual mass. Thermolysis in a sealed NMR tube showed carbodiimide and protonated dimethyl amine by (1)H NMR.

Highly Sensitive Spectrofluorimetric Determination of Trace Amounts of Indium with 5-Bromine-Salicylaldehyde Salicyloylhygrazone

The fluorescence reaction of 5-bromine-salicylaldehyde salicyloylhydrazone (5-Br-SASH) with indium was studied in detail. Based on this chelating reaction, a sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of indium in a water–ethanol (63%) medium at PH 4.6. Under these conditions, the In-5-Br-SASH complex has excitation and emission maxima at 395 nm and 461 nm, respectively. The linear range of the method is from 0 to 1000 ng mL^–1and the detection limit is 2.4 ng mL^–1of indium. The molar ratio of indium to the reagent is 1 : 3. Interferences from other ions were studied. The method was successfully applied to the determination of indium in lead, tin, spelter, zinc sulfide using the standard additions method.     

Application of internal standardization to rapid coprecipitation technique using lanthanum phosphate for flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of iron and lead.

By applying an internal standardization, we could use a rapid coprecipitation technique using lanthanum phosphate as a coprecipitant for preconcentration of iron(III) and lead in their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination. Indium as an internal standard was added to the initial sample solution together with lanthanum and phosphoric acid; the coprecipitation of iron(III) and lead was then carried out at pH about 3. After measuring the atomic absorbances of iron, lead, and indium in the final sample solution, we determined the contents of iron(III) and lead in the original sample solution by using the internal standardization with indium. In this method, complete collection of the precipitate was not required after the coprecipitation of iron(III), lead, and indium, because the ratio of the recovery of iron(III) or lead to that of indium was almost constant regardless of the recovery of the precipitate. This method was simple and rapid, and was available for the determination of 2-300 micrograms L-1 of iron(III) and 5-400 micrograms L-1 of lead in some water samples.
