Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of a New Synthesis Reaction of 1,3,5-Substituted-1,2,4-triazoles by Carboxylic Acids,Amidines,and Hydrazines

The synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles from α-imino-3-pyridine formic acid,acetamidine and anisole hydrazine as a model reaction in this paper and the synthesis mechanism of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole compounds from carboxylic acids,amidines and hydrazines have been first investigated with the B3 LYP/6-311++G** method.According to the potential energy profile,it can be predicted that the course of the reaction consists of five reactions containing six elementary reactions.The α-imino-3-pyridine formic acid and acetamidine form first an intermediate product through a dehydration reaction; the intermediate product further combines with hydrogen ion to form a positive ion; the positive ion reacts with anisole hydrazine by a dehydration reaction to form another positive ion; then,followed by two isomerization reactions,the final reaction with the acetate ion(Ac-) produces the final product.The research results reveal the laws of synthesis reaction of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles by the carboxylic acids,amidines,hydrazines and their derivatives on theoretical level.It provides the systemic theoretical basis for the synthesis,development and application of 1,3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole compounds.

Characterization and catalytic performance of CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using nitrogen-diluted synthesis gas over a laboratory scale fixed-bed reactor

The surface species of CO hydrogenation on CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst were investigated using the techniques of temperature programmed reaction and transient response method. The results indicated that the formation of H2O and CO2 was the competitive reaction for the surface oxygen species, CH4 was produced via the hydrogenation of carbon species step by step, and C2 products were formed by the polymerization of surface-active carbon species （-CH2-）. Hydrogen assisted the dissociation of CO. The hydrogenation of surface carbon species was the rate-limiting step in the hydrogenation of CO over CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst. The investigation of total pressure, gas hourly space velocity （GHSV）, and product distribution using nitrogen-rich synthesis gas as feedstock over a laboratory scale fixed-bed reactor indicated that total pressure and GHSV had a significant effect on the catalytic performance of CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst. The removal of heat and control of the reaction temperature were extremely critical steps, which required lower GHSV and appropriate CO conversion to avoid the deactivation of the catalyst. The feedstock of nitrogen-rich synthesis gas was favorable to increase the conversion of CO, but there was a shift of product distribution toward the light hydrocarbon. The nitrogen-rich synthesis gas was feasible for F-T synthesis for the utilization of remote natural gas.

The enantioselective total synthesis of the putative structure of versiquinazoline H and three diastereomers has been achieved,which allowed the revision of the stereochemistry of this natural product.This six-step total synthesis relied on the evolution of the strategy that we previously developed,which features a DMDO-triggered tandem reaction.The modification of the lactamization step resulted in a significant improvement of yield that ensured the efficient total synthesis.     

Synthesis and characterization of CoS ball in cage structures

Ball in cage structures of cobalt sulfide have been successfully prepared by a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis approach employing Co(NO3)2·6H2O as the cobalt source and S=C(NH2)2 as the sulfur source. The effects of the reaction parameters (volume ratio of distilled water to ethanol, reaction time and reaction temperature) on the morphology and size of the CoS structures were investigated. The synthesized product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It has been confirmed that the volume ratio of distilled water to ethanol played a key role in the formation of the ball in cage structures, and the formation mechanism of the CoS ball in cage structures was also proposed. The electrochemical capacitance performances of the CoS products were studied, and the CoS ball in cage structures show excellent energy storage characteristics.     

Higher alcohol synthesis over Cu-Fe composite oxides with high selectivity to C2+OH

Cu-Fe composite oxides were prepared by co-precipitation method and tested for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas. The selectivity to C2+OH and C6+OH in alcohol distribution was very high while the methane product fraction in hydrocarbon distribution was rather low, demonstrating a promising potential in higher alcohols synthesis from syngas. The distribution of alcohols and hydrocarbons approximately obeyed Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution with similar chain growth probability, indicating alcohols and hydrocarbons derived from the same intermediates. The effects of Cu/Fe molar ratio, reaction temperature and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) on catalytic performance were studied in detail. The sample with a Cu/Fe molar ratio of 10/1 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Higher reaction temperature accelerated water-gas-shift reaction and led to lower total alcohols selectivity. GHSV showed great effect on catalytic performance and higher GHSV increased the total alcohol selectivity, indicating there existed visible dehydration reaction of alcohol into hydrocarbon.

PEG-stabilized palladium nanoparticles： An efficient and recyclable catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene in thermoregulated PEG biphase system

Polyethylene glycol （PEG）-stabilized palladium nanoparticles were prepared and applied to the selective hydrogenation of 1,5- cyclooctadiene （1,5-COD） in thermoregulated PEG biphase system, which allows a reaction in a single-phase at a higher temperature followed by a phase split at a lower temperature. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of 1,5-COD and the selectivity of cyclooctene （COE） were 100 and 98%, respectively. The catalyst could be easily separated from the product by phase separation and reused for 6 times without evident loss in activity and selectivity. 2007 Yan Hua Wang.

Synthesis,isolation and characterization of methyl levulinate from cellulose catalyzed by extremely low concentration acid

A direct synthesis of methyl levulinate from cellulose alcoholysis in methanol medium under mild condition(180 210 C)catalyzed by extremely low concentration sulfuric acid(0.01 mol/L)and the product isolation were developed in this study.Effects of different process variables towards the catalytic performance were performed as a function of reaction time.The results indicated that sulfuric acid concentration,temperature and initial cellulose concentration had significant effects on the synthesis of methyl levulinate.An optimized yield of around 50%was achieved at 210 C for 120 min with sulfuric acid concentration of 0.01 mol/L and initial cellulose concentration below 100 g/L.The resulting product mixture was isolated by a distillation technique that combines an atmospheric distillation with a vacuum distillation where n-dodecane was added to help distill the heavy fraction.The light fraction including mainly methanol could be reused as the reaction medium without any substantial change in the yield of methyl levulinate.The chemical composition and structural of lower heavy fraction were characterized by GC/MS,FTIR,1H-NMR and13C-NMR techniques.Methyl levulinate was found to be a major ingredient of lower heavy fraction with the content over 96%.This pathway is efficient,environmentally benign and economical for the production of pure levulinate esters from cellulose.     

Comparative studies on the concerted and two-step mechanism of ketene-methylenimine cycloaddition

The concerted reaction mechansim of the ketene-methylenimine cycloaddition reaction was reconfirmed by IRC calculation at HF/6-31G level.Other possible reaction schemes were also studied.The cis and gauch intermediate cannot be found on the potential energy surface,and the trans intermediate can only lead to a 6-membered ring product.Therefore,a two step mechanism to form β-lactam is excluded for the title reaction.

氧化铝负载的银纳米颗粒高选择性催化合成亚胺(英)

The oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols to aldehydes catalyzed by Ag nanoparticles supported on Al₂O₃ was studied.The catalyst promoted the direct formation of imines by tandem oxidative dehydrogenation and condensation of alcohols and amines.The reactions were performed under mild conditions and afforded the imines in high yield（up to 99%） without any byproducts other than H₂O.The highest activity was obtained over 5 wt%Ag/Al₂O₃ in toluene with air as oxidant.The reactions were also performed under oxidant-free conditions where the reaction was driven to the product side by the production of H₂ in the gas phase.The use of an efficient and selective Ag catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohol in the presence of amines gives a new green reaction protocol for imine synthesis.     

Study on the alkylation reaction of guanine and N-acetylguanine and the synthesis of 1''''-C alkylated carba-DHPG analogues

The alkylation reaction of guanine and N-acetylguanine with model compounds such as isopropyl bromide or 4-heptyl tosylate were studied. The reaction conditions such as temperature, solvent, base, and catalyst were examined for their effects on the reaction rate, and the yield and regioselectivity of the coupling reaction. The highest yield was obtained by using DMSO as the solvent. The reaction proceeded in a homogenous manner to give higher yield of 9-N and 7-N substituted product in a mole ratio of 1:1. The ratio could be raised to 2:1 if dibenzo-18-crown-6 was used as a catalyst. Using the above procedure, three carba-DHPG analogues bearing different 1'-C alkyl side chains were synthesized.     

AROMATIZATION OF C_6 PARAFFIN OVER Pt/ML(M=K,Rb)AND Pt/AlPO_4-5 CATALYSTS AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE

The reaction product distributions from the reactions of n-C6 and MCP over different Pt-catalysts at different temperatures were studied. It is shown that the product distributions depended on the reaction temperatures The influences of the zeolite channel functioned only at high temperature. The activity and selectivity of aromatization of n-C6 over Pt/AIPO4-5 were lower than those over Pt/L zeolite catalysts. A1PO4-5 is a non-basic support and its product distribution and reaction mechanism were different from that of basic-support catalysts such as Pt/KL and Pt/RbL.     

Recent advances of intermolecular Diels–Alder reaction in bio-inspired synthesis of natural products

The Diels–Alder(D–A)reaction is one of the most powerful reactions in organic synthesis.The intermolecular D–A reaction attracts much less attentions than its intramolecular counterpart in natural product synthesis,possibly due to the issues of reactivity and selectivity.In the past decade,the intermolecular D–A reaction has been increasingly utilized in the total synthesis of structurally complex natural products.In this article,we present a few examples for the elegant applications of the intermolecular D–A reaction that are inspired by biosynthetic hypotheses of the target natural products.These examples demonstrate that D–A reaction is not only useful for preparing building blocks but also powerful for coupling structurally complicated and sterically demanding segments in a highly chemo-and stereo-controlled fashion,which may inspire further developments of intermolecular D–A reaction from both strategy and methodology perspectives.
