Microwave-assisted reaction between 2-aminobenzoic acids, 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes,and arylboronic acids: a one-pot three-component synthesis of bridgehead bicyclo[4.4.0]boron heterocycles

A one-pot three-component synthesis of 6-aryl-8H-dibenzo[d,h][1,3,7,2]dioxazaborecin-8-ones is described. A mixture of 2-aminobenzoic acid, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and arylboronic acid undergo a 1:1:1 addition reaction in CCl₄ under microwave irradiation to produce bridgehead bicyclo[4.4.0]boron heterocycles in excellent yields.     

Solvent-free and three-component synthesis of 1H,6H-6λ5-[1,2]benzoxaphospholo[2,3-b][1,2]benzoxaphosphol-1-ones

A concise and facile synthesis of a new class of P,O-heterocycles is described. Knoevenagel condensation reaction of a salicylaldehyde and a cyclohexane-1,3-dione forms an α,β-unsaturated intermediate, which undergoes nucleophilic addition of a trialkyl phosphite under solvent-free conditions to afford the title compounds in good to excellent yields.     

Synthesis of diarylmethanes via a Friedel-Crafts benzylation using arenes and benzyl alcohols in the presence of triphenylphosphine ditriflate

Triphenylphosphine ditriflate (TPPD) was found to be an efficient promoter for the Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes with benzyl alcohols in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature. The good yields, the 1:1 molar ratio of arene and benzyl alcohol, the benzylation of chlorobenzene as a nonactivated aromatic compound at room temperature, and no by-product formation are the main advantages of this procedure.     

One-step synthesis of reusable, polymer-supported tri-alkyl phosphine ligands. Application in Suzuki-Miyaura and alkoxycarbonylation reactions

A simple, efficient one-step route to polystyrene-supported trialkylphosphine ligands is reported. These polymer-supported alkyl phosphine ligands proved to be highly active for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions and in alkoxycarbonylation reactions. The palladium loaded polymer-supported catalysts can be recycled several times with only minimal loss of catalyst activity.     

DFT Calculations and NBO Analysis of 2-Chloroethylethyldichlorosilane Unimolecular Elimination Kinetics in the Gas Phase

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to investigate the thermal decomposition kinetics of 2-chloroethylethyldichlorosilane at the B3LYP/6-311+G**,B3PW91/6-311+G**,and MPW1PW91/6-311+G** levels of theory.Among these methods,the results(activation parameters) obtained using the B3LYP/6-311+G** level are in good agreement with the available experimental data.The calculated data imply that in the unimolecular β-elimination reactions of the studied compound in the gas phase,the polarization of C(1)-Cl(3) and C(1)-H(4) bonds in the sense of C(1)δ+-Cl(3)δ-and C(1)δ+-H(4)δ-,respectively,is a determining factor in the gas phase elimination reactions 1,2 and 3.Analysis of bond order,natural bond orbital charges,bond indexes,synchro-nicity parameters,and IRC calculations suggest the elimination of 2-chloroethylethyldichlorosilane via reactions 1～3 can be described as concerted and slightly asynchronous.The transition state structures of these reactions are a four-membered cyclic structure.     

On a graph of ideals

We associate a graph Γ₊(R) to a ring R whose vertices are nonzero proper right ideals of R and two vertices I and J are adjacent if I+J=R. Then we try to translate properties of this graph into algebraic properties of R and vice versa. For example, we characterize rings R for which Γ₊(R) respectively is connected, complete, planar, complemented or a forest. Also we find the dominating number of Γ₊(R).     

Exohedral chemical functionalization of C48B6N6 with NH3: Binding energies and electronic structures of C48B6N6–(NH3)n=1−6

Theoretical study of exohedral chemical functionalization of C₄₈B₆N₆ with NH₃ molecules has been investigated using DFT. It was found that NH₃ molecule can be chemically adsorbed on boron sites of C₄₈B₆N₆, with a charge transfer from NH₃ to C₄₈B₆N₆. Adsorption energy and the quantity of electron charge transfer from latest adsorbed ammonia to C₄₈B₆N₆ decreased with increasing in the adsorbed NH₃ molecules. Despite the strong adsorption energies, electronic properties of C₄₈B₆N₆ is preserved after modification(s) with NH₃ molecule(s) and chemical modification of C₄₈B₆N₆ with NH₃ molecules can be viewed as some kind of safe modification.     

DFT-NEGF study of transport properties and NDR behavior in fused furan and thiophene dimmers

The nonequilibrium Green's function approach in combination with density-functional theory is used to perform quantum mechanical calculations of the electron transport properties of furan and thiophene dimmers. Both the molecular systems have two S-linker and translated into the Gold junction with (1 1 1) surfaces. The studied molecular junctions at zero bias voltage are HOMO-based junctions and currents through these systems are driven by hole transport. The current–voltage characteristics of the both studied molecular junctions illustrate that negative differential resistance (NDR) feature is observed over the bias voltage of 2.0 V. Higher conductivity of fused furan dimmer and NDR character have been explained by the monitoring of the transmission resonance peak across the bias window against varying bias voltages.     

Interval estimation of $$$$ in ranked set sampling

This article deals with constructing a confidence interval for the reliability parameter using ranked set sampling. Some asymptotic and resampling-based intervals are suggested, and compared with their simple random sampling counterparts using Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, the methods are applied on a real data set in the context of agriculture.
