A study of the 15N NMR chemical shifts in substituted anilines and phenylhydrazines, and their derivatives

The analysis of (15)N chemical shift data from over a hundred anilines, N-methyl anilines, N,N-dimethyl anilines and phenylhydrazines with substituents in the phenyl ring leads to an empirical equation, delta(cal) = deltaon + Deltao + Deltam + Deltap, for calculating (15)N NMR chemical shifts of the amino group. This equation is based on a linear regression analysis using eighteen substituent parameters and leads to good conformity with the expected data.     

Vapor-phase synthesis of N-butylaniline from aniline and 1-butanol over Cu/SiO2 catalyst

The Cu/SiO2 catalyst prepared by incipient wetness method exhibited very high activity and selectivity for the vapor-phase synthesis of N-butylaniline from aniline and 1-butanol. When Cu loading was 0.70 mmol/g-SiO2 and the catalyst precursor was calcined at 500 ℃, 1-butanol conversion reached 99%, and the selectivity of N-butylaniline exceeded 97%.     

Oxalic Acid Catalyzed Three Component One Pot Synthesis of 3,4‐Dihydroquinazolin‐4‐ones

An efficient one-pot method for synthesis of an array of 3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-ones from anthranilicacid, triethyl orthoformate, and anilines using oxalic acid as a catalyst was described. The present protocol offers improvements for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-ones with regard to short reaction time, high yields of products, and simplicity in operation.

Two N‐(2‐phenylethyl)nitroaniline derivatives as precursors for slow and sustained nitric oxide release agents

Notwithstanding its simple structure, the chemistry of nitric oxide (NO) is complex. As a radical, NO is highly reactive. NO also has profound effects on the cardiovascular system. In order to regulate NO levels, direct therapeutic interventions include the development of numerous NO donors. Most of these donors release NO in a single high‐concentration burst, which is deleterious. N‐Nitrosated secondary amines release NO in a slow, sustained, and rate‐tunable manner. Two new precursors to sustained NO‐releasing materials have been characterized. N‐[2‐(3,4‐Dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]‐2,4‐dinitroaniline, C₁₆H₁₇N₃O₆, (I), crystallizes with one independent molecule in the asymmetric unit. The adjacent amine and nitro groups form an intramolecular N—H…O hydrogen bond. The anti conformation about the phenylethyl‐to‐aniline C—N bond leads to the planes of the arene and aniline rings being approximately perpendicular. Molecules are linked into dimers by weak intermolecular N—H…O hydrogen bonds such that each amine H atom participates in a three‐center interaction with two nitro O atoms. The dimers pack so that the arene rings of adjacent molecules are not parallel and π–π interactions do not appear to be favored. N‐(4‐Methylsulfonyl‐2‐nitrophenyl)‐l ‐phenylalanine, C₁₆H₁₆N₂O₆S, (II), with an optically active center, also crystallizes with one unique molecule in the asymmetric unit. The l enantiomer was established via the configuration of the starting material and was confirmed by refinement of the Flack parameter. As in (I), there is an intramolecular N—H…O hydrogen bond between adjacent amine and nitro groups. The conformation of the molecule is such that the arene rings display a dihedral angle of ca 60°. Unlike (I), molecules are not linked via intermolecular N—H…O hydrogen bonds. Rather, the carboxylic acid H atom forms a classic, approximately linear, O—H…O hydrogen bond with a sulfone O atom. Pairs of molecules related by twofold rotation axes are linked into dimers by two such interactions. The packing pattern features a zigzag arrangement of the arene rings without apparent π–π interactions. These structures are compared with reported analogues, revealing significant differences in molecular conformation, intermolecular interactions, and packing that result from modest changes in functional groups. The structures are discussed in terms of potential NO‐release capability.     

The effect of initiators and oxidants on the morphology of poly [(±)‐2‐(sec‐butyl) aniline] a chiral bulky substituted polyaniline derivative

The nano and micro sphere synthesis of chiral bulky substituted polyaniline from monomer (±)‐2‐sec‐butylaniline in bulk and template‐free method (rapid mixing) was done successfully using ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) and FeCl₃·6H₂O as oxidants. The effect of initiators such as p‐phenylendiamine and 1,4‐benzenediamine, temperature and concentration of monomer on morphology is demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The nano and micro sphere morphology was obtained using initiators. Smallest particles were achieved when 1,4‐benzenediamine was used as initiator in the presence of FeCl₃·6H₂O as oxidant. By increasing the concentration of monomer more uniform spheres were obtained. Characterization was made via FT‐IR, UV–Vis, ¹H and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. Elemental analysis and electrical conductivity of products are also presented. All analysis data are in good agreement with nigraniline oxidation state of polyaniline.

Gelatin/poly(aniline) composite films: Synthesis and characterization

In this work, glyoxal (Glox) - crosslinked gelatin (Gel) films have been loaded with aniline molecules, followed by their in-situ oxidative polymerization to yield Gel/poly(Ani) composite films. The films, so prepared, have been characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA and AFM analysis. The water absorption of these films has been studied in the physiological fluid of pH 7.4 at 37°C.The dynamic water uptake data has been interpreted by various kinetic models such as power function model and Schott kinetic model. The various diffusion coefficients have also been evaluated.
