The structures of five metabolites (2-6) of agarofuran 1 were confirmed by synthesis. The configuration of the secondary hydroxyl in 7 was determined by Horeau′s method. The configuration of C-2 in compound 4 and 5 was determined by their stereochemistry and NMR.     

Dynamic Structure of Mo—O Species in Ag—Mo—P—O Catalyst for Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane

The dynamic structure of Mo-O species in Ag-Mo-P-O catalyst was studied by in situ confocal microprobe laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and catalytic test. The results indicate Mo-O species of MoO3 transformed to Mo-O species of AgMoO2PO4 in C3H8/O2/N2(3/14) flow at 773K. This behavior is closely relative to oxidative dehydrogenation of propan and intrinsic properties of Mo-O species. The Mo-O species of AgMoO2PO4 may be active species for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane.     

Metal Ion Enhanced Phosphorescence of 2,3—Naphtho—10—aza—15—crown—5：A Possible Molecular Photonic Operator

A novel crown ether,2,3-naphtho-10-aza-15-crown-5(NAC) was synthesized.This compound does not show strong fluorescence and phosphorescence due to photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer from the nitrogen lone pair of electrons to the singlet excited state of the naphthalene chromophore.Complexation with heavy-metal ions results in the quenching of the fluorescence and enhancement of the phosphorescence significantly.These observations were interpreted in terms of the binding interactions,between the nitrogen lone pair electrons and the metal cation,which prevent photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer,and the heavy-atom effects which induce quenching of the fluorescence and enhancement of the phosphorescence.These azacrown and heavy-metalbased systems could be useful as potential chemical sensors and molecular photonic devices.     

A New Technique of Synthesizing 10—Hydroxy—5—methyl—5,10—dihydrophenophosphazine 10—Oxide

10-Hydroxy-5-methyl-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine 10-oxide(1)was prepared by a new technique of treating 10-methoxy-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine 10-oxide(2)with an equivalent of NaH in anhydrous DMF,and then at 120℃ for 3-4h,which not only avoided poisonous and expensive methyl iodide used in literature,but made the consumption of NaH greatly decrease as well.The possible reaction mechanism was also described.The chemical structure of 1 was confiremed by IR,NMR,and mass spectroscopy.     

A New Solution—phase Parallel Synthesis of 2—Alkyamino—3—aryl—5—phenylmethylene—3,5—dihydro—4H—imidazol—4—ones

Thirteen new 2-alkylaminoimidazolones(4) wre rapidly synthesized by a new solution-phase parallel synthetic method,which includes aza-Wittig reaction of iminophosphorane(1) with aromatic isocyanate to give carbodi-imide(2) and subsequent reaction of 2 with various aliphatic primary amine in a parallel fashion.The products were confirmed by ^1H NMR,MS,IR and X-ray crystallographic analysis.The unusual selectivity of the cyclization was probably due to the deometry of the guanidine intermediate.     

Investigation of Isomerization of 2—Seleno—1,3,2—diazaphospholidine Derivatives

For the first time the isomerization of 1,3,2-diazaphospholidine-2-sclenide dervatives in refluxing benzene in the presence of trace water was observed. The structures of isomerized products were determined by IR, ^1H NMR,^31P NMR, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The mechanism of isomerization was also proposed.

Photocycloaddition Reactions of 5,5‐Dimethyl‐3‐(3‐methylbut‐3‐en‐1‐ynyl)cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title cyclohexenone 1d undergoes photodimerization selectively at the exocyclic C?C bond to give a 1 : 1 mixture of 1,2‐dialkynyl‐1,2‐dimethylcyclobutanes 6 and 7 . On irradiation in the presence of 2,3‐dimethylbuta‐1,3‐diene, 1d affords bicyclo[8.4.0]tetradeca‐1,2,3,7‐tetraen‐11‐one 9 . This – formal – (6+4)‐cycloadduct undergoes quantitative isomerization to 3‐cycloheptadienyl‐2,5,5‐trimethylcyclohex‐2‐enone 11 on treatment with basic silica gel.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Enantiomerically Pure cis‐ and trans‐3‐Fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐8‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐Oxides as γ‐Homoacetylcholine Mimetics and Inhibitors of Acetylcholinesterase

The title compounds, the P(3)‐axially and P(3)‐equatorially substituted cis‐ and trans‐configured 8‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐8‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐oxides (=8‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐8‐aza‐3‐phosphabicyclo[4.4.0]decane 3‐oxides=2‐fluorohexahydro‐6‐(phenylmethyl)‐4H‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorino[5,4‐c]pyridine 2‐oxides) were prepared (ee>98%) and fully characterized (Schemes 2 and 3). The absolute configurations were established from that of their precursors, the enantiomerically pure cis‐ and trans‐1‐benzyl‐4‐hydroxypiperidine‐3‐methanols which were unambiguously assigned. Being configuratively fixed and conformationally constrained phosphorus analogues of acetyl γ‐homocholine (=3‐(acetyloxy)‐N,N,N‐trimethylpropan‐1‐aminium), they are suitable probes for the investigation of molecular interactions with acetylcholinesterase. As determined by kinetic methods, all of the compounds are weak inhibitors of the enzyme.     

The Structures of Indazolin‐3‐one (=1,2‐Dihydro‐3H‐indazol‐3‐one) and 7‐Nitroindazolin‐3‐one

The existence of polymorphism in parent indazolin‐3‐one (=1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐indazol‐3‐one; 1 ) is reported as well as an X‐ray and NMR CPMAS study establishing that its 7‐nitro derivative 2 exists as the 3‐hydroxy tautomer. Absolute shieldings calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) level were used to determine the tautomeric oxo/hydroxy equilibrium in solution, i.e., always the 1H‐indazol‐3‐ol tautomer predominates.     

A Novel and Efficient Synthesis of 3‐[(4,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐chromen‐2‐ones (=3‐[(4,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐ones)

An efficient one‐pot synthesis of 3‐[(4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one (=3‐[(4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one) derivatives 4 by a four‐component reaction of a salicylaldehyde 1 , 4‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one, a benzylamine 2 , and a diaroylacetylene (=1,4‐diarylbut‐2‐yne‐1,4‐dione) 3 in EtOH is reported. This new protocol has the advantages of high yields (Table), and convenient operation. The structures of these coumarin (=2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one) derivatives, which are important compounds in organic chemistry, were confirmed spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).     

The Synthesis of 2‐(Chromon‐2/3‐yl)‐3‐(5‐thione‐4‐hydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)‐4‐oxo‐thiazolidine

2‐Formylchromones and 3‐formylchromones as the first materials singly reacted with 2‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole to give the corresponding Schiff bases, which on cyclocondensation with mercapto‐acetic acid in 1,4‐dioxane yielded target compounds named 4‐oxo‐thiazolidines. The structures of all the synthetic compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, LC‐MS (ESI) spectral data.     

Photoinduced and thermal reactions of α‐cyano‐β‐bromomethylcinnamide with 1‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide

The photoinduced reaction of a mixture of (Z)‐α‐cyano‐β‐bromomethylcinnamide (1) and (E)‐α‐cyano‐β‐bromomethylcinnamide (2) with 1‐benzyl‐1, 4‐dihydronicotinamide produces a mixture of the (E)‐ and (Z)‐ isomers of α‐cyano‐β‐methylcinnamide (3 and 4). Using spin‐trapping technique for monitoring reactive intermediate, it is shown that the reaction proceeds via electron transfer‐debromination‐H abstraction mechanism. The thermal reaction of the same substrate with BNAH at 60°C in the dark gives three products: the (E)‐ and (Z)‐isomers of α‐cyano‐β‐methylcinnamide and a dehydrodimeric product; 2, 7‐dicyano‐3, 6‐diphenylocta‐2, 4, 6‐trien‐1, 8‐dioic amide (7). Based on product analysis, scavenger experiment and cyclic voltammetry, an electron transfer‐debromination‐disproportionation mechanism is proposed.     

Synthesis of 6‐Alkylidene‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐1,3‐thiazine Derivatives via the Cyclization of N‐3‐Bromo‐3‐alkenylthioamides

By the treatment of N‐3‐bromo‐3‐alkenylthioamides with sodium hydroxide in DMF‐H₂O in the presence of tetra‐butylammonium bromide, series of 6‐alkylidene‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐1,3‐thiazine derivatives were prepared in moderate to good yields. The cyclization is supposed to proceed via both the intramolecular vinylic nucleophilic substitution and the elimination‐addition mechanisms (formation of acetylenic intermediates) in a competitive manner.     

3‐Fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐7‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐Oxides as Rigid Acetylcholine Mimetics: Conformational Analysis and Direct Evidence of the Anomeric Effect

Conformational analyses of the P(3)‐axially and P(3)‐equatorially F‐substituted (±)‐cis‐ and (±)‐trans‐2,4‐dioxa‐7‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐oxides (3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐7‐aza‐3‐phosphabicyclo[4.4.0]decane 3‐oxides) were performed. The results are based on independent studies in both solution and the solid state by ¹H‐ and ³¹P‐NMR experiments and computational and X‐ray crystallographic data. As expected, the axial epimers adopt neat double‐chair conformations in solution and in the crystal. Due to the anomeric effect of the electron withdrawing F‐substituent, the 2,4‐dioxa‐3‐phospha moiety in the equatorial epimers adopts a mixture of conformations in solution, mainly chair and twist‐boat; whereas a neat twist‐boat (trans‐isomer) and the unusual envelope conformation (cis‐isomer) were detected in the solid state. This is the first report of a straight visualization of these conformations and the impact of the anomeric effect in such systems.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Enantiomerically Pure cis‐ and trans‐3‐Fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐9‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐Oxides as Acetylcholine Mimetics and Inhibitors of Acetylcholinesterase

The title compounds, the P(3)‐axially and P(3)‐equatorially substituted cis‐ and trans‐configured 9‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐9‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐oxides (=9‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐9‐aza‐3‐phosphabicyclo[4.4.0]decane 3‐oxides=7‐benzyl‐2‐fluorohexahydro‐4H‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorino[4,5‐c]pyridine 2‐oxides) were prepared (ee >99%) and fully characterized (Schemes 2 and 4). The absolute configurations were deduced from that of their precursors, the enantiomerically pure ethyl 1‐benzyl‐3‐hydroxypiperidine‐4‐carboxylates and 1‐benzyl‐3‐hydroxypiperidine‐4‐methanols which were unambiguously assigned. Being configuratively fixed and conformationally constrained phosphorus analogues of acetylcholine, the title compounds represent acetylcholine mimetics and are suitable probes for the investigation of molecular interactions with acetylcholinesterase. As determined by kinetic methods, all of the compounds are moderate irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme.     

Chemoselectivity in the Reaction of 2‐Diazo‐3‐oxo‐3‐phenylpropanal with Aldehydes and Ketones

The chemoselectivity in the reaction of 2‐diazo‐3‐oxo‐3‐phenylpropanal ( 1 ) with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of Et₃N was investigated. The results indicate that 1 reacts with aromatic aldehydes with weak electron‐donating substituents and cyclic ketones under formation of 6‐phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐dioxin‐4‐one derivatives. However, it reacts with aromatic aldehydes with electron‐withdrawing substituents to yield 1,3‐diaryl‐3‐hydroxypropan‐1‐ones, accompanied by chalcone derivatives in some cases. It did not react with linear ketones, aliphatic aldehydes, and aromatic aldehydes with strong electron‐donating substituents. A mechanism for the formation of 1,3‐diaryl‐3‐hydroxypropan‐1‐ones and chalcone derivatives is proposed. We also tried to react 1 with other unsaturated compounds, including various olefins and nitriles, and cumulated unsaturated compounds, such as N,N′‐dialkylcarbodiimines, phenyl isocyanate, isothiocyanate, and CS₂. Only with N,N′‐dialkylcarbodiimines, the expected cycloaddition took place.
