NMR STUDIES ON POLYETHER-POLYURETHANE ZWITTERIONOMERS——CHAIN STRUCTURE AND PHASE SEPARATION

The ~1H and ~(13)C NMR spectra of polyether-polyurethancs (A) based on 4, 4'-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI), N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), and polytetramethyleneoxide (PTMO)and the zwitterionomers derived from A with various degree of ionization was assigned by comparingwith model compounds. Phase separation of the samples was visualized through pulsed NMR investigations. The FIDsignals of these multiphase elastomers were recorded and decomposed by non-linear least squaresregression into fast Gaussian and slow exponential components assodated with the hard, the soft andthe interface respectively. Thus pulsed NMR gives both qualitative and quantitative informationabout the existence of multiphases and the relative amounts of materials in each phase.     

Synthesis of dimethyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-4-(3-oxo-2-triphenyl-phosphoranylidenbutanylidene)-pent-2-enedioate and its cyclization

The title compounds 5a-5c were prepared via the reaction of methyl 2-perfluoroal-kynoates (4) with methyl 5-oxo-4-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)hex-2-enoate (3), which was obtained from the reaction of methyl propynate (2) with acetylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (1) at -5-0℃. Intramolecular elimination of Ph3PO took place when compound 5 was heated in aqueous methanol at 115-120℃ in sealed tube, yielding dimethyl 2-trifluoromethyl-4-methylisophthalate (6a) from 5a and methyl 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-heptafluoropropanylbenzoate (6b) from 5b, respectively. The structures of compounds 5, 6a and 6b were confirmed by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 19F NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Rection mechanisms for the formation of compounds 5, 6a and 6b were proposed.     

Synthesis, Structural Characterization of Ferrocenyl Iminophosphines and Amidophosphines as Well as Their Application in the Suzuki Reaction

Ferrocenyliminophosphine 1 and 1,1'-bisferrocenyliminophosphine 2 were easily prepared from the condensation of formylferrocene or 1,1'-diformylferrocene with 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline.The following reduction of imine group by LiAlH4 led to the formation of the corresponding ferrocenyl amidophosphines 3 and 4.The new ligands 2-4 were well characterized by IR,1H NMR,31P NMR spectra,elemental analysis,and ESI-MS.The catalytic activity of all the ligands with palladium compounds in the Suzuki reaction was evaluated.Ligand 1,in combination with Pd(OAc)2,was found to be the most effective for the Suzuki reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid.Typically,the use of 0.1%(molar fraction)of Pd(OAc)2/ligand 1 in the presence of two equivalents of K2CO3 as base in toluene at 110 ℃ provided good to excellent yields of the coupled products.     

Investigation on the Crystal Structure of Substituted Pyridine Based Organic Salt as the Low Molecular Weight Gelator

In order to define the chemical conformation of gelator,para-hydroxy pyridinium salt of 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarboxylic acid(defined as G1),four model compounds were prepared from para-,meta-,ortho-phthalic acid with 4-hydroxy pyridine(PHP),and 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarboxylic acid(BTA) with 4-pyridylcarbinol(PCB),and their 1H NMR spectra were investigated.The single crystal of G1 obtained directly from gelling solvent was measured,which displayed complicated hydrogen-bonded networks arising from the supramolecular synthons and other weak interactions between H2O and the components.The powder X-ray diffraction(XRPD) experiments were also carried out to understand the relationship between molecular packing of the bulk crystal and the gelation behavior.     

Preparation, Characterization and Application of ZnAlLa-Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds

The preparation of ZnAlLa-hydrotalcite-like compounds [ZnAlLa-HTLcs] was studied.ZnAlLa-HTLcs were synthesized by a method of variable pH with the raw materials of Zn(NO3)2.Al(NO3)3, La(NO3)3, and NaOH. The effects of some factors (i.e. pH values, the mole ratio of Al^3- to La^3-.temperature and the period of hydrothermal treatment) on the preparation of HTLcs were discussed systematically. XRD. TG-DTA. FT-IR spectroscopy, and ICP were performed to characterize ZnAlLa-HTLcs samples, and the thermal stability of HTLcs was also discussed. It was shown that unique ZnAlLa-HTLcs with high crystallinity can be prepared, under the conditions of pH=5.5-6.5. n(Zn^2 )/n(Al^3 La^3 )=2 and the atomic ratio of La^3 to Al^3 ranging from 0.07 to 2. hydrothermal treatment at 120℃ for 5 h. When the calcination of the HTLcs is performed at temperatures above 200℃. ZnO phase is detected with Al2O3 and La2O3 spreading on its top. The complex metal oxides derived from ZnAlLa-HTLcs at 500℃ have higher catalytic activity and selectivity than those from ZnAl-HTLcs for the esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol under the same reaction conditions.     

Synthesis of azo derivatives of 4-aminosalicylic acid

For searching a better 4-aminosalicylic acid derivative with higher activity and less side effects against the inflammatory bowel disease, 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA) was protected by benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl, respectively. The resultant was hydrogenized to remove protective group of amino group, then the product was reacted with NaNO2 to give diazonium salt, which was conjugated with salicylic acid, hydroxybenzene, TV-salicyloyl glycine acid to get azo derivatives of 4-ASA. The azo derivatives were hydrolyzed under the alkaline condition to get the target products. All compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra in details. New derivatives of 4-ASA were characterized. The synthetic route was reasonable and feasible.     

Synthesis of 4-Aminosalicylglycine

To search for a better prodrug of 4-aminosalicylic acid that is expected to deliver stably parent drug to colon against the inflammatory bowel disease, a novel 4-aminosalicylic acid derivative was designed and synthesized from 4-aminosalicylic acid. 4-Aminosalicylglycine was prepared from 4-aminosalicylic acid by protecting amino and hydroxyl groups with benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl, respectively, then the carboxylic acid was converted to acyl chloride which was treated with glycine. After removing the protection groups, 4-aminosalicylglycine wasobtained. All the compounds were characterized by FT-IR, ^1H-NMR, ^13C-NMR spectra. In vivo experiment on rats suggested that the curative effect of 4-aminosalicylglycine was more effective than that of 4-aminosalicylic acid.     

An Efficient Synthesis of Highly Optically Active 4-Substituted-2（5H）-furanones from Chiral 3-Bromo-2（5H）-furanone

Highly optically active 4-substituted-2(5H)-furanones 6a-6j were obtained in good yields with de≥98% by the tandem Michael addition/elimination reaction of chiral 3-bromo-2(SH)-furanone (4a), which was conveniently prepared starting from 2-furaldehyde under mild conditions. The products were identified on the basis of their satisfactory elemental analysis and spectroscopic data of IR, UV, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and mass spectra. The stereochemistry and absolute configuration of this type of compounds were established by the X-ray crystallographic study. The reaction provided a short and efficient synthesis of the interesting highly optically active 4-subsdtuted-2(5H)-furanones containing an active pyrimidine and a purine base group.     

NMR Studies on the Subacute Biochemical Effects of Aristolochic Acid on Rat Serum

The subacute effect of aristolochic acid （AA） on rat serum was studied by NMR method. The biochemical effects induced by AA were characterized by an increase in the amounts of creatinine, trimethylamine N-oxide, acetoacetate, acetate and 3-D-hydroxybutyrate and lactate in serum from ^1H NMR spectra. Principal component analysis was used for further comparing the similarities of ^1H NMR spectral profiles of serum from rats treated with AA and model toxins.     

Stability of pyrrolidone derivatives against γ-ray irradiation

To evaluate the stability of N-alkylated pyrrolidone derivatives(NRPs),which are supposed to be used as precipitants for U(VI) and Pu(IV,VI) species in HNO 3 media,under irradiation environment,some candidate NRPs were irradiated by γ-ray.Irradiation to HNO 3 solutions up to 6 mol dm 3(= M) containing 2 M N-n-butyl-2-pyrrolidone(NBP),one of NRPs with lower hydrophobicity,has revealed that the residual ratios of NBP in the samples of HNO 3 up to 3 M decreased identically and linearly.Approximately 20% of NBP was found to be degraded after the irradiation at 1 MGy.It was also found that the decrease in the precipitation ratio of UO 2 2+(P.R.,%) was gentle and that the P.R.values were relatively in accordance with the residual ratios of NBP.On the other hand,the degradation of the samples irradiated in 6 M HNO 3 was found more distinguished.It was proposed from the analyses of degraded compounds that the degradation of NBP in HNO 3 by γ-ray irradiation started from the cleavage of the pyrrolidone ring by the addition of oxygen atom originating from HNO 3,followed by the formation of chain compounds by the successive addition of oxygen,leading to the generation of oxalic acid and acetic acid.The stability of other NRPs in 3 M HNO 3 was evaluated to be nearly identical with that of NBP except lower P.R.values of the samples containing NRPs with higher hydrophobicity irradiated at more than 0.5 MGy.     

Semi-permanent lutetium modifier for the determination of beryllium in urine by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The determination of beryllium using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with deuterium background correction in the presence of various isomorphous metals and Mg(NO₃)₂ was studied. While, Eu, Ir and Sm had no effect on the transient signals, the addition of Lu and Mg(NO₃)₂ improved the sensitivity of the beryllium signal with respect to that obtained in the absence of modifier. Although, Mg(NO₃)₂ has improved the signal with respect to its sensitivity, it also increased the tail and the background (BG) signals, specially when urine samples are under study. Whereas, when Lu was used the analytical signal is virtually free of BG interference indicating that the urine matrix interference was almost eliminated. Besides, the addition of 6 μg of Lu ensured that the signals were effectively constant for five firings following the furnace program, which included: three drying, and the pyrolysis, atomization, cleaning and cooling steps. The effect of some components, likely to interfere in the accurate determination of beryllium (such as: Al, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Fe, Mg and Mn) were investigated. At the physiological levels, most of these elements had no effect, except in the case of chloride when Mg(NO₃)₂ was used as modifier. In this case, the tolerance limit was of 3000 mg Cl⁻ l⁻¹. The characteristic masses were 1.19, 0.45 and 0.48 pg, when integrated absorbance was measured for beryllium without the addition of any modifier and in the presence of Lu and Mg(NO₃)₂, respectively. The limits of detection (3σ) were 85, 19 and 58 fg, respectively. The accuracy and precision with the use of Lu and Mg(NO₃)₂ was tested for the direct determination of beryllium in urine samples. Quantification was performed with aqueous standards. The results obtained for the determination of beryllium in reference materials (Trace Elements in Urine), together with good recovery of spiked analyte, using either Lu or Mg(NO₃)₂ modification demonstrate the applicability of the procedure to the analysis of real samples. However, Lu provided the most accurate results. Also, the addition of Lu enhanced the precision of the measurements to levels of 1.8% relative standard deviation instead of 5.6 and 3.3% for the case of beryllium alone and with the addition of Mg(NO₃)₂.

State‐state transitions for CCl2(X1A1, A1B1, a3B1) radical and collisional quenching of CCl2(A1B1 and a3B1) by O2, N2, NO,N2O,NH3, and various aminated molecules

CCl₂ free radicals were produced by a pulsed dc discharge of CCl₄ in Ar. Ground electronic state CCl₂(X) radicals were electronically excited to the A¹B₁ (0,4,0) vibronic state with an Nd:YAG laser pumped dye laser at 541.52 nm. Experimental quenching data of excited CCl₂(A¹B₁ and a³B₁) by O₂, N₂, NO, N₂O, NH₃, NH(CH₃)₂, NH(C₂H₅)₂, and N(C₂H₅)₃ molecules were obtained by observing the time‐resolved total fluorescence signal of the excited CCl₂ radical in a cell, which showed a superposition of two exponential decay components under the presence of quencher. The quenching rate constants k_A of CCl₂(A) state and k_a of CCl₂(a) state were derived by analyzing the experimental data according to a proposed three‐level model to deal with the CCl₂(X¹A₁, A¹B₁, a³B₁) system. The formation cross sections of complexes of electronically excited CCl₂ radicals with O₂, N₂, NO, N₂O, NH₃, and aminated molecules were calculated by means of a collision‐complex model. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal Decomposition of CF3C(O)O2NO2, CClF2C(O)O2NO2, CCl2FC(O)O2NO2, and CCl3C(O)O2NO2

Haloacetyl, peroxynitrates are intermediates in the atmospheric degradation of a number of haloethanes. In this work, thermal decomposition rate constants of CF₃C(O)O₂NO₂, CClF₂C(O)O₂NO₂, CCl₂FC(O)O₂NO₂, and CCl₃C(O)O₂NO₂ have been determined in a temperature controlled 420 l reaction chamber. Peroxynitrates (RO₂NO₂) were prepared in situ by photolysis of RH/Cl₂/O₂/NO₂/N₂ mixtures (R = CF₃CO, CClF₂CO, CCl₂FCO, and CCl₃CO). Thermal decomposition was initiated by addition of NO, and relative RO₂NO₂ concentrations were measured as a function of time by long-path IR absorption using an FTIR spectrometer. First-order decomposition rate constants were determined at atmospheric pressure (M = N₂) as a function of temperature and, in the case of CF₃C(O)O₂NO₂ and CCl₃C(O)O₂NO₂, also as a function of total pressure. Extrapolation of the measured rate constants to the temperatures and pressures of the upper troposphere yields thermal lifetimes of several thousands of years for all of these peroxynitrates. Thus, the chloro(fluoro)acetyl peroxynitrates may play a role as temporary reservoirs of Cl, their lifetimes in the upper troposphere being limited by their (unknown) photolysis rates. Results on the thermal decomposition of CClF₂CH₂O₂NO₂ and CCl₂FCH₂O₂NO₂ are also reported, showing that the atmospheric lifetimes of these peroxynitrates are very short in the lower troposphere and increase to a maximum of several days close to the tropopause. The ratio of the rate constants for the reactions of CF₃C(O)O₂ radicals with NO₂ and NO was determined to be 0.64 ± 0.13 (2σ) at 315 K and a total pressure of 1000 mbar (M = N₂). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Crystal structure determination of complexes of monomethylammonium chloride and mercury(II) chloride: CH3NH3HgCl3, (CH3NH3)2HgCl4, and CH3NH3Hg2Cl5

The crystal structures have been determined of CH₃NH₃HgCl₃, (CH₃NH₃)₂HgCl₄, and CH₃NH₃Hg₂Cl₅. In (CH₃NH₃)₂HgCl₄ the Hg^II atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms with Hg? Cl bond lengths of 2.464 to 2.478 Å. In the other two compounds the Hg^II atom is involved in two short covalent Hg? Cl bonds, forming a pseudo HgCl₂ molecule and two much longer bridging Hg? Cl bonds. The methylammonium groups are connected by hydrogen bonds to the chlorine atoms. The nature of the hydrogen bonding scheme probably causes disorder of the methylammonium groups.     

Complex compounds of ferrocene in a biacceptor system

Summary Three-component systems of ferrocene (FcH): carbon tetrachloride: tetranitromethane have been investigated spectrally in the 290–800 nm range. Quantitative relationships were investigated between electron-donor acceptor (EDA) complexes of ferrocene and CCl₄ (FcH · CCl₄) and C(NO₂)₄ [FcH · C(NO₂)₄] and the ferricenium cation (FcH⁺) which is formed as a result of dissociation of complexes and which depends upon the initial concentration of C(NO₂)₄ and duration the reaction. The results prove the destabilizing influence of C(NO₂)₄ on the EDA complex of ferrocene and CCl₄.     

Osmotic coefficients of aqueous rare-earth perchlorates and nitrates

Osmotic coefficients of aqueous solutions of La(ClO₄)₃, Pr(ClO₄)₃, Nd(ClO₄)₃, Sm(ClO₄)₃, Gd(ClO₄)₃, Dy(ClO₄)₃, Ho(ClO₄)₃, Er(ClO₄)₃, Tm(ClO₄)₃, Yb(ClO₄)₃, Lu(ClO₄)₃, Nd(NO₃)₃, Sm(NO₃)₃, and Gd(NO₃)₃ in the molality range from 0.1 mol kg^?1 nearly to saturation at 298.15 K have been determined by the isopiestic method. The results obtained agree very well with those of Rard et al. published recently. A distinct two-series effect has been observed for the constant-molality values of rare-earth perchlorates. The results are discussed in terms of hydration of the cations and ionic association.
