The Microwave-Assisted Dehydrative Cyclization of Thiosemicarbazides Forming Substituted 1,2,4-Triazoles

Different types of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones were prepared by microwave irradiation as well as by a classical method. The beneficial effect of microwave irradiation on the dehydrative cyclization of thiosemicarbazides in different reaction media is described. Our results show that the effect of microwave irradiation on the reaction studied was the shortening of reaction times (from 2–9 h to 2–4 min) and a minor decrease (1–4%) in yields. The structure of the new compounds was established by FTIR, MS, and ¹H NMR spectral data.

Preparation and characterization of fluorinated acrylate copolymer latexes by miniemulsion polymerization under microwave irradiation

Fluoroacrylate copolymer miniemulsion was prepared by miniemulsion polymerization under microwave irradiation. The composition of the copolymer was determined by FTIR, DSC, ¹H NMR and ¹⁹F NMR. The morphology, size, and size distribution of the latex particles as well as changes in the size during polymerization were characterized by TEM and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The effects of kinetic parameters on the polymerization were evaluated. The particle size of latex underwent almost no change during microwave irradiation polymerization. The diameters of latex particles prepared by microwave irradiation were smaller and more monodispersed than those prepared by conventional heating and the latex had good centrifugal stability. Polymerization under microwave irradiation had a higher reaction rate and higher conversion than traditional heating. By using 10 wt% fluoromonomer, the surface energy of the latex film could be reduced from 27.24 mJ/m² (latex film of fluorine-free) to 17.59 mJ/m² and the decomposition temperature increased by 25 °C.

One-pot synthesis of novel fused pentacyclic chromenopyrimidobenzimidazolones and benzimidazolyl-chromenyl-substituted thiazolidinones

The ultrasound promoted synthesis of a number of novel fused pentacyclic chromenopyrimido[1,2-α]benzimidazolones by the one-pot reaction of 3-formylchromones with 2-aminobenzimidazole is described. Moreover, the isolated pentacyclic chromone derivatives upon microwave irradiation with 2-mercaptocarboxylic acids afforded benzimidazolyl-chromenylthiazolidinones incorporating three pharmacophoric heterocycles; the same thiazolidinones were also formed through a multicomponent reaction under microwave irradiation involving 3-formylchromones, aminobenzimidazole and 2-mercaptocarboxylic acids. The structural elucidation of the products was accomplished by 1D and 2D NMR experiments and for thiazolidinones was also confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Full assignment of all ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts has been unambiguously achieved. The proposed reaction mechanism is also discussed.     

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) and Poly(lactide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)

Summary: This study reported the preparation and characterization of PCL-b-mPEG (poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)) and PLL-b-mPEG (poly(L-lactide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)) diblock copolymers by microwave heating and comparison of resulted products the ones with prepared by conventional heating. Diblock copolymers were synthesized successfully by the microwave-assisted ROP in the presence of stannous octoate (SnOct₂) as catalyst under nitrogen atmosphere in different monomer ratios. Structural and functional characterization of copolymers were performed by FTIR, ¹H-NMR and DSC. Molecular weight values were determined by GPC and also calculated from ¹H-NMR. According to the results, microwave irradiation allowed to obtain polymers with very narrow size distribution in very short reaction time. Similar polymers prepared by conventional heating were also synthesized for comparison. Molecular weight and conversion of polymers were increased by irradiation time. This change was continued until a certain time point after which no more increase was observed. It was concluded that microwave irradiation is a succesful method to obtain these diblock copolymers in very short reaction time and with a similar conversion obtained by conventional method.

Hydrolysis of chitosan under microwave irradiation in ionic liquids promoted by sulfonic acid-functionalized ionic liquids

Hydrolysis of chitosan in ionic liquids was carried out under microwave irradiation (MW) using sulfonic acid-functionalized ionic liquids (SFILs) as catalysts. The effect of microwave power, irradiation time, dosage of SFILs and DMSO was investigated by orthogonal tests. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the yield of total reducing sugars (TRS) reached over 90% within 2 min. The viscosity-average molecular weight of degraded chitosan was determined by viscosity method. The structures of the original and degraded chitosan were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹³C NMR). The influence of microwave power and irradiation time on the TRS and M_v was further studied. This method can dramatically reduce reaction time.     

Palladium-catalyzed activation of E-E and C-E bonds in diaryl dichalcogenides (E = S,Se) under microwave irradiation conditions

The first example of palladium-catalyzed stereoselective addition of diphenyl disulfide and diphenyl diselenide to the triple bond of terminal alkynes under microwave irradiation conditions is described. It was found that both the element—element (E-E) and carbon—element bonds can be activated in the catalytic system studied. The products of both reactions were isolated in quantitative yields. According to quantum-chemical calculations, the reaction mechanism involves the oxidative addition of the E-E bond to Pd⁰. Depending on the microwave power and reaction conditions, the next stage is either the reaction with alkyne or the carbon—element bond activation. The product of the oxidative addition of Ph₂Se₂ to Pd⁰, namely, dinuclear complex [Pd₂(SePh)₄(PPh_{3 2}], was detected by ³¹P{¹H}NMR spectroscopy directly in the Ph₂Se₂/PPh₃ melt formed under microwave irradiation conditions.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

In comparison to conventional heating conditions, the reactions under microwave irradiation gave higher yields in shorter reaction times. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of Microwave Irradiation on Reaction of Arylaldehyde Derivatives with Some Active Methylene Compounds in Aqueous Media

Abstract

The effect of microwave irradiation on the condensation reactions of arylaldehydes 1 and active methylene compounds 2 in aqueous media was studied and compared with “classical” conditions. The results show that the condensation was carried out only under microwave irradiation in the presence of ammonium chloride as a catalyst, followed by dehydration, to afford (E)‐olefins 3. The protocol was used to synthesize coumarins by a condensation reaction of salicylaldehyde or its derivatives with various derivatives of ethylacetate 5 (e.g., R³CH₂CO₂Et; R³: CO₂Et, CO₂Me, COMe, CN) in high yields. These investigations will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly and inexpensive processes in organic synthesis.     

Microwave fluorination: a novel, rapid approach to fluorination with Selectfluor

Fluorination of electron rich aromatic systems with electrophilic fluorination reagents such as Selectfluor^® and Accufluor^® is a well-established process. Herein we report results from investigations into the use of such procedures to perform rapid, small-scale fluorinations under microwave irradiation. We have investigated the transformation with a range of different substrates and discuss the effects of two key factors, namely reaction time and choice of fluorination reagent. The use of Selectfluor^® in acetonitrile at 150 °C with microwave heating for 10 min affords products in comparable yields to those obtained by prolonged heating in acetonitrile at its reflux temperature.

Microwave-assisted C–H bond activation using a commercial microwave oven for rapid deuterium exchange labeling (C–H → C–D) in carbohydrates

Studies have shown that facile hydrogen → deuterium exchange in two model carbohydrates via stereospecific C–H bond activation could be achieved using a pre-sonicated Raney Nickel^® catalyst and microwave irradiation. Using a simple commercial microwave oven and a silica-gel bath, monosaccharide and disaccharide samples underwent isotopic exchange using microwave irradiation for sequential 15 s intervals. The influence of chilling between irradiation intervals was examined. The results revealed increasing levels of ²H incorporation without either epimerization or concomitant decomposition seen earlier in non-optimized experiments.     

Preparation and Characterization of Quaternized Chitosan Under Microwave Irradiation

For the first time, N-(2-hydroxyl) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) was prepared through a fast, easy and efficient method with the assistance of microwave irradiation, and the quaternized chitosan was also degraded via the microwave irradiation. A comparative study was performed by using the conventional heating method to prepare HTCC. The structure and property of the quaternized chitosan obtained by these two methods were characterized by GPC, XRD, FTIR, NMR, TG and elemental analysis. It was shown that quaternized chitosan was successfully prepared within 50 min via microwave irradiation method, while a much longer time of 6–7 h was needed with the conventional heating method. The substitutions both occurred on the C2 position of chitosan with the two different methods, and their HTCC products had weight average similar molecular weight (Mw), structure and thermal stability. The HTCC prepared by the microwave irradiation method had a little lower degree of substitution (DS) than those prepared via conventional heating with the same mole ratio (6:1) of the intermediate to chitosan. The degradation study showed that the Mw of HTCC decreased rapidly from 4.6 × 10⁵ to 1.1 × 10⁵ in 1 h under microwave irradiation, while it only decreased from 4.6 × 10⁵ to 2.1 × 10⁵in 1 h through conventional heating degradation. These results revealed that microwave irradiation is a more efficient and environment-friendly way to obtain the water-soluble chitosan derivatives and their degraded products.
