Synthesis, structure, and electrochemical properties of 12,42-dioxo-21,31-diphenyl-7,10,13-trioxa-1,4(3,1)-diquinoxalina-2(2,3),3(3,2)-diindolizinacyclopentadecaphane

The oxidative dehydrocyclization of the 3-(indolizin-2′-yl)-2-oxoquinoxaline monopodand performed either electrochemically or under the action of molecular iodine affords new redox-active heterocyclophane consisting of the redox-switchable biindolizine fragment combined with the polyether-bridged π-deficient quinoxaline systems. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study showed that the trioxaundecane chain of heterocyclophane adopts an extended conformation, and one of the phenyl substituents of the molecule closes the pseudocavity formed by the spacer from one of the sides. The cyclic voltammetric study of heterocyclophane in MeCN and DMF showed the three-step oxidation of the indolizine fragments accompanied by the single-electron transfer in each step. The first and third steps are reversible, and the second step is irreversible. The oxidation at potentials of the first peak gives rise to stable radical cations detected by the ESR method (g = 2.0024, a _2N = 0.26 mT). Dedicated to Professor E. A. Berdnikov on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1991–2003, October, 2007.     

Chemical properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-polyfluoroethylimidazole and -pyrrole derivatives

Bromination, acylation, nitration, and metallation of imidazole and pyrrole derivatives containing the difluoromethylene fragment at the N atom were studied. 1-(1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl)pyrrole, 1-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)imidazole, and 1-(2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)imidazole were used as substrates. 1-Alkyl-3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)- and 1-alkyl-3-(2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)imidazolium iodides were obtained. These can be used as intermediates for preparation of new ionic liquids of the imidazole series and 1-alkyl-3-polyfluoroethylimidazole-2-thiones.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Hybrid polymerization of iso-butyl vinyl ether

The radiation-induced hybrid polymerization in the presence of the N-alkoxypyridinium salt having relatively stable nonnucleophilic anion (PF₆⁻) has been investigated in the paper. Based on the analysis of experimental data and the GPC spectrum, the onium salts not only oxidize -alkoxyalkyl radicals, produced from IBVE in dichloromethane by irradiation, to the corresponding cations, but also give nonnucleophilic anions PF₆⁻ for the polymerization system. The experimental results clearly demonstrate that free radical and cationic polymerization mechanisms occurred simultaneously in IBVE/EMP⁺PF₆⁻/CH₂Cl₂ systems on irradiation with γ-ray.     

Alkali metal salts of acrylamide C3H4NOM (M = Li,Na, and K): Synthesis and vibrational spectra

Alkali metal salts of acrylamide C₃H₄NOM (M = Li, Na, and K) were synthesized for the first time by metallation of acrylamide with alkali metals, their alkyl derivatives, or hydrides. The structures of the compounds synthesized were studied by Raman and IR spectroscopy. Based on the results obtained, an ionic structure was proposed for the salts. The salts were tested as initiators of the anionic polymerization of acrylamide. The catalytic activity of C₃H₄NOM in the polymerization of acrylamide is not lower than that of the well known catalyst, KOBu¹.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactivity of diazoazoles and azolediazonium salts in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-azo coupling reactions

The comparative reactivity of heterocyclic diazo compounds and the corresponding diazonium salts in C-azo coupling reactions was studied using imidazole, pyrazole, and triazole derivatives as examples.The reactivities of pyrazole- and imidazole-derived diazonium salts are much lower than those of thiadiazole- and 1,2,4-triazole-derived diazonium salts but higher than those of pyrrole and indole diazo compounds.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermal degradation studies of alkyl-imidazolium salts and their application in nanocomposites

Increasing the thermal stability of organically-modified layered silicates is one of the key points in the successful technical application of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites on the industrial scale. To circumvent the detrimental effect of the lower thermal stability of alkyl ammonium-treated montmorillonite, a series of alkyl-imidazolium molten salts were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry (TGA) and thermal desorption mass spectroscopy (TDMS). The effect of counter ion, alkyl chain length and structural isomerism on the thermal stability of the imidazolium salts was investigated. Alkyl-imidazolium-treated montmorillonite clays were prepared by ion exchange of the imidazolium salts with Na-montmorillonite. These organically-modified clays were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), TDMS and thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR), and compared to the conventional quaternary alkyl ammonium montmorillonite. Results indicate that the counter ion has an effect on the thermal stability of the imidazolium salts, and that imidazolium salts with PF₆⁻, N(SO₂CF₃)₂⁻ and BF₄⁻ anions are thermally more stable than the halide salts. A relationship was observed between the chain length of the alkyl group and the thermo-oxidative stability; as the chain length increased from propyl, butyl, decyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl to eicosyl, the stability decreased. The results also show that the imidazolium-treated montmorillonite has greater thermal stability compared to the imidazolium halide. Analysis of the decomposition products by FTIR provides an insight about the decomposition products which are water, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons.     

Oxidative free radical reactions of enamino esters

Oxidative free radical reactions of enamino esters are described. Electrophilic carbon-centered radicals produced by the cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidation of β-dicarbonyl compounds undergo efficient addition to the C-C double bond of enamino esters. This CAN mediated free radical reaction between enamino esters and β-dicarbonyl compounds provides a novel method for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles. The direct CAN oxidation of β-enaminocinnamates gave the dimerization products effectively.     

Probing in vitro digestion at oil–water interfaces

Interfacial layers have been widely applied to study the formation and stability of emulsion-based systems. However, the application of isolated interfaces to address digestibility of emulsions is often limited because of the complexity of experimental methods and results. This review summarizes the latest developments in analytical methods and literature data on effects of digestion on interfacial layers. Particular emphasis is given to understand the changes on interfacial magnitudes during oral, gastric, and duodenal digestion, either applied separately or sequentially. Limitations of interfacial aspects and key factors that influence emulsion microstructure in bulk and lipid digestion are identified. Understanding the behavior of interfacial layers upon gastrointestinal digestion promotes an accurate tracking of the physiological fate of emulsions.
