A Study of N-Butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)amine and Its Protonated Species by 1H- and 13C-NMR. Spectroscopy

The Schiff base of all-trans-retinal was investigated in organic solution by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. at high field. Complete assignment of the ¹H-NMR. peaks of N-butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)amine ( 2 ) and the N-butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)-ammonium ion ( 3 ) was achieved by INDOR (internuclear double resonance). The vicinal proton coupling constants of the polyene chain show that the π-bond orders remain unchanged in N-butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)amine relative to all-trans-retinal ( 1 ), but change towards larger π-delocalization in the N-butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)ammonium ion. At ?-61° only one isomer of N-butyl-(all-trans-retinylidene)ammonium was observed. This was shown to be trans at the imine linkage and independent of the solvent. The trifluoroacetic acid counter-ion can approach the positive charge of the N-atom in the weakly polar solvent dichloromethane but not in the leveling solvent methanol. In dichloromethane the nature of the 1:1 complex is a H-bonded (O^?…H-N⁺) ion-pair whose rate of breaking and forming is rapid at RT. Strong stabilization of the ion-pair resulted from homo-conjugation with a second molecule of trifluoroacetic acid. Excess of acid efficiently diminished the isomerization rate at the C,N-bond.

Intrinsically flame retardant epoxy resin - Fire performance and background - Part I

The flame retardant effect of newly synthesized phosphorus-containing reactive amine, which can be used both as crosslinking agent in epoxy resins and as a flame retardant, was investigated. The effect of montmorillonite and sepiolite additives on the fire induced degradation was compared to pristine epoxy resin. The effect of combining the organophosphorous amine with clay minerals was also studied. It could be concluded that the synthesized phosphorus-containing amine, TEDAP can substitute the traditional epoxy resin curing agents providing additionally excellent flame retardancy: the epoxy resins flame retarded this way reach 960 °C GWFI value, 33 LOI value and V-0 UL-94 rating - compared to the 550 °C GWFI value, 21 LOI value and “no rate” UL-94 classification of the reference epoxy resin. The peak of heat release was reduced to 1/10 compared to non-flame retarded resin, furthermore a shift in time was observed, which increases the time to escape in case of fire. The flame retardant performance can be further improved by incorporating clay additives: the LOI and the HRR results showed that the optimum of flame retardant effect of clay additives is around 1 mass% filler level in AH-16-TEDAP system. Applying a complex method for mechanical and structural characterization of the intumescent char it was determined that the flame retarded system forms significantly more and stronger char of better uniformity with smaller average bubble size. Incorporation of clay additives (owing to their bubble nucleating activity) results in further decrease in average bubble diameter.     

A comparison of the mechanism for the reductive half-reaction between pea seedling and other copper amine oxidases (CAOs)

In a previous DFT study a mechanism for the reductive half-reaction of pea seedling amine oxidase (PSAO) was suggested. In many of the suggested steps a lysine at the active site plays an important role. However, this lysine is not found in other amine oxidases. The primary aim of the present DFT study is therefore to investigate alternative mechanisms for those amine oxidases (CAO) where the lysine residue is not present. One of the most important roles suggested for the lysine in PSAO was to protonate the O2-site of TPQ before the critical Cbond;H bond cleavage of the substrate. In the absence of lysine the O2-site of TPQ is now suggested to be protonated by a water ligand on the copper metal complex, in line with experimental suggestions. In other steps the role of lysine is taken over by an asparagine. All results are compared with experimental observations and good agreement is generally found.

ZrCl4 as a new and efficient catalyst for the opening of epoxide rings by amines

Zirconium(IV) chloride catalyses the nucleophilic opening of epoxide rings by amines leading to the efficient synthesis of β-amino alcohols. The reaction works well with aromatic and aliphatic amines in short times at room temperature in the absence of solvent. Exclusive trans stereoselectivity is observed for cyclic epoxides. Aromatic amines exhibit excellent regioselectivity for preferential nucleophilic attack at the sterically less hindered position during the reaction with unsymmetrical epoxides. However, in case of styrene oxide, selective formation of the benzylic amine was observed during the reactions with aromatic amines.
