Theoretic calculation for understanding the oxidation process of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene-based compounds as redox shuttles for overcharge protection of lithium ion batteries

The effect of substituents on the oxidation potential for the one-electron reaction of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene was understood with a theoretical calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) at the level of B3LYP/6-311+G(d). It is found that the oxidation potential for the one-electron reaction of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene is 4.13 V (vs Li/Li(+)) and can be changed from 3.8 to 5.9 V (vs Li/Li(+)) by substituting electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups for the hydrogen atoms on the aromatic ring. These potentials are in the range of the limited potentials for the lithium ion batteries using different cathode materials, and thus the substituted compounds can be selected as the redox shuttles for the overcharge prevention of these batteries. The oxidation potential of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene decreases when the hydrogen atoms are replaced with electron-donating groups but increases when replaced with electron-withdrawing groups. The further oxidation of these substituted compounds was also analyzed on the basis of the theoretic calculation.     

Microwave-assisted Knoevenagel condensation in aqueous over triazine-based microporous network

A high nitrogen-containing triazine-based microporous polymeric (TMP) network was used as an efficient metal-free catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation of ethylcyanoacetate with aromatic aldehydes. The reactions were performed in water as an environmentally benign medium, under microwave irradiation within a short reaction time of 10 min. The conversions of substituted aromatic aldehydes and selectivities for Knoevenagel products were found to be in the ranges of 44–99 and 65–99 %, respectively. The electron-withdrawing substituent showed higher conversion and selectivity as compared to electron-donating substituents. The TMP network can be readily recovered and reused up to three runs without loss in catalytic activity and selectivity.     

Substituent cross-interaction effects on the electronic character of the C=N bridging group in substituted benzylidene anilines--models for molecular cores of mesogenic compounds. A 13C NMR study and comparison with theoretical results

13C NMR chemical shifts delta(C)(C=N) were measured in CDCl3 for a wide set of mesogenic molecule model compounds, viz. the substituted benzylidene anilines p-X-C6H4CH=NC6H4-p-Y (X = NO2, CN, CF3, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2; Y = NO2, CN, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2). The substituent dependence of delta(C)(C=N) was used as a tool to study electronic substituent effects on the azomethine unit. The benzylidene substituents X have a reverse effect on delta(C)(C=N): electron-withdrawing substituents cause shielding, while electron-donating ones behave oppositely, the inductive effects clearly predominating over the resonance effects. In contrast, the aniline substituents Y exert normal effects: electron-withdrawing substituents cause deshielding, while electron-donating ones cause shielding of the C=N carbon, the strengths of the inductive and resonance effects being closely similar. Additionally, the presence of a specific cross-interaction between X and Y could be verified. The electronic effects of the neighboring aromatic ring substituents systematically modify the sensitivity of the C=N group to the electronic effects of the benzylidene or aniline ring substituents. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the aniline ring decrease the sensitivity of delta(C)(C=N) to the substitution on the benzylidine ring, while electron-donating substituents have the opposite effect. In contrast, electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzylidene ring increase the sensitivity of delta(C)(C=N) to the substituent on the aniline ring, while electron-donating substituents act in the opposite way. These results can be rationalized in terms of the substituent-sensitive balance of the electron delocalization (mesomeric effects). The present NMR characteristics are discussed as regards the computational literature data. Valuable information has been obtained on the effects of the substituents on the molecular core of the mesogenic model compounds.     

Aromatic bromination versus oxidation of indolylmalonates by bromine

The reactions of 5-substituted indolylmalonates (2a-e), carrying an electron-withdrawing group at the N(1) position, with bromine in CCl(4) or AcOH are reported. These substrates undergo oxidation in competition with the well-known aromatic bromination. Under the two sets of conditions, with parent indolylmalonate (2a), chemospecific oxidation is observed, whereas with 5-hydroxyindolylmalonate (2c), bromination at the 4- and 6-position is the dominating reaction. Investigation of the products composition of several 5-substituted indolylmalonates revealed the following trend: with a 5-substituted electron-withdrawing group like fluorine, the indolylmalonate undergoes oxidation rather than bromination. In contrast, with a 5-substituted electron-donating group, like a hydroxyl group, the ring bromination occurs preferentially over the oxidation. When the 5-substituent is an alkoxyl group, a significant amount of brominated-oxidized products is obtained. Monitoring the oxidation reaction by mass spectrometry allowed the characterization of the 2-bromoindolylidenemalonate intermediate. A bromonium ion is considered as possible pathway in the formation of this intermediate. The conformation of unsymmetrical methoxyl and benzyloxyl substituents was determined from (1)H NMR spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ab initio calculations.

Investigation of selective mono-deallylation of O,O'-diallylcatechols and 3-methylene-1,5-benzodioxepanes

Selective mono-deallylation of O,O'-diallylcatechols using 10% Pd/C was investigated to give the correspond-ing allylphenols. A similar reaction of 3-methylene-1,5-benzodioxepanes afforded O-methacryl catecohols. When substrates bearing various substituents on the benzene ring were subjected to the reaction, regioselective cleavage of an ether bond occurred at the side of para position to an electron-withdrawing group on the aromatic ring. On the other hand, an electron-donating group did not cause any selectivity.     

Synthesis of indoles by intermolecular cyclization of unfunctionalized nitroarenes and alkynes, catalyzed by palladium-phenanthroline complexes

Palladium-phenanthroline complexes efficiently catalyze the reaction of nitroarenes with arylalkynes and CO to give 3-arylindoles by an ortho-C-H functionalization of the nitroarene ring. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents are tolerated on the nitroarene, except for bromide and activated chloride. Nitroarenes bearing electron-withdrawing substituents react faster, but the selectivity of the reaction depends on both polar and radical stabilization effects. Among those tested, only arylalkynes afforded indoles under the investigated conditions. The reaction mechanism was partly investigated. The kinetics is first order in nitroarene concentration and the rate-determining step of the cycle is the initial nitroarene reduction. No primary isotope effect is observed on either rate or selectivity, implying that the cyclization step is fast.     

Structural factors controlling the self-assembly of columnar liquid crystals

A series of disc-shaped molecules were prepared by the condensation of 1,2-diamines with 2,3,6,7-tetrakis(hexyloxy)phenanthrene-9,10-dione to investigate the relationship between changes in molecular structure and the self-assembly of columnar liquid crystalline phases. A comparison of compounds with different core sizes indicated that molecules with larger aromatic cores had a greater propensity to form columnar phases, as did compounds substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. In contrast, molecules with electron-donating substituents were nonmesogenic. The clearing temperature of columnar phases increased linearly with the electron-withdrawing ability of the substituents, as quantified by Hammett sigma-values. The observed trends can be rationalized in terms of the strength of pi-pi interactions between aromatic cores in the liquid crystalline phases and suggest that both electrostatic interactions and dispersion forces play important roles in the self-assembly of these materials.     

On the hydrolysis step in osmium catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylations

In order to obtain information about the most important features that affect the efficiency of osmium catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation, a series of substituted styrenes have been studied by using a Hammett type approach as well as solvent kinetic isotope effects. A concave shaped Hammett plot with a minimum at X=H revealed a change in the mechanism going from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing substituents for both NaClO2 and K3[Fe(CN)6] asymmetric dihydroxylations. The Hammett plot together with solvent isotope effect results indicates that osmium (mono)glycolates of styrenes with electron-withdrawing substituents are hydrolyzed by a stepwise attack of the nucleophile to the electrophilic osmium-center and subsequent protonation of the alkaline intermediate. Osmium (mono)glycolates in dihydroxylation, using NaClO2 as the stoichiometric oxidant of styrenes with electron-donating substituents, are hydrolyzed by specific acid catalysis. The rate-limiting step is an A1 type process. Differences in the rho values in the Hammett plots for NaClO2 and K3[Fe(CN)6] asymmetric dihydroxylations indicate that in dihydroxylations with NaClO2 as the secondary oxidant, the reactive osmium(VI) mono(glycolate) is oxidized to osmium(VIII) mono(glycolate) prior to hydrolysis. The reaction rate was found to have an effect on the enantioselectivity in asymmetric dihydroxylation. If the hydrolysis step is slow enough, a competitive bis(glycolation) deteriorates the enantioselectivity in K3[Fe(CN)6] asymmetric dihydroxylations and even more so in NaClO2 asymmetric dihydroxylations.     

Synthesis of tetramethylammonium phenyltrialkylborate salts by the addition of alkyllithium reagents to a triorganylborane or organoboranylhalides

Several new tetraorganylborate salts have been synthesized by the addition of alkyl or phenyllithium reagents to a triorganylborane or organoboranylhalides. The chemical structure of the borates was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopic measurements and elemental analysis. Solubility, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of these salts have been investigated as well. The structures of the phenyltrialkylborates were varied systematically to control their oxidation potential. These compounds are the trimethyl-, triethyl-, n-tributyl- and sec-tributylborate derivatives and form a series of substituted phenyltrialkylborates containing either electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituents in the para position of phenyl ring. The oxidation potential of these borates has been found to be a function of Hammett constant.
