Facile polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) promoted synthesis of β-ketosulfones

An efficient and convenient synthesis of β-ketosulfones is described. Reaction of an α-haloketone with sodium alkyl/aryl sulphinate yields the corresponding β-ketosulfone promoted by polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as an efficient reaction medium.

Solubility Enhancement of Low Soluble Biologically Active Compounds by β-Cyclodextrin and Dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin

The solubility enhancement of triflumizole by complexation with -cyclodextrin and with dimethyl--cyclodextrin is compared with respect to the different physico-chemical properties of the host molecules. Although the inclusion reaction constants are rather similar for both complexation reactions, a completely different temperature dependence of the host-guest interaction is observed, which indicates a change of the reaction mechanisms. Moreover, the influence of ethanol as cosolvent is studied.     

New Photoluminescence Phenomena of Ge／SiO2 Glass Synthesized by Sol-gel Method

New Ge/SiO2 glasses have been synthesized by heating the GeO2/SiO2 dry gels under H2 gas at 700℃. The resulting fluorescence spectra show that this kind of Ge/SiO2 glasses emit strong photoluminescence at 392 nm (3.12 eV), medium strong photoluminescence at 600 nm (2.05 eV) and weak photoluminescence at 770 nm (1.60 eV) respectively. Possible photoluminescence mechanisms are also discussed based on the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS).     

All-Solid-State PVC Membrane Ag+-Selective Electrodes Based on Diaza-18-Crown-6 Compounds

Two diaza-crown ether compounds were synthesized and evaluated as Ag⁺-selective carriers in polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane electrodes of solid-state type. The all-solid-state PVC membrane electrode based on N,N-Dibenzyl-dibenzo-diaza-18-crown-6 exhibited a super-Nernstian response (75±10mV per decade) over the concentration range of 1×10^–1 to 7×10^–6M of Ag⁺ ion and a detection limit of 3×10^–6M, at a wide range of pH (pH 4–7). The response time of the electrode was fast (less than 10s), and it can be used for three months without any significant deviation in potential. The proposed all-solid-state PVC membrane electrodes revealed high selectivity toward Ag⁺ ion with respect to alkali, alkaline earth, heavy and transition metal ions. A flow-through cell of all-solid-state PVC membrane Ag⁺-selective electrode based on N,N-Dibenzyl-dibenzo-diaza-18-crown-6 has also been prepared and applied for flow-injection analysis of Ag⁺ ion in solution.     

Molecular Rectangle Formed by Head-to-tail Self-Assembly of 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane

Summary. 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane, the N-confused analog of biladiene-ac, is prepared by condensation of 2,3-dipyrromethane with two molecules of 2-formylpyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of hydrogen bromide. Self-assembly of the ligand with Zn(II) in dichloromethane and methanol offers a dinuclear dimeric complex with a ligand:metal ratio of 2:2. X-Ray crystal structure analysis reveals two ligands bound through a head-to-tail pattern to two zinc centers to form a severely distorted helical conformation, which has the shape of a rectangle.     

Concerted cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to α-pinene stepwise rearrangement of the β-lactam cycloadduct to a γ-lactam

Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate adds to α-pinene in concerted fashion to give the unrearranged N-chlorosulfonyl-β-lactam 2 (75%). Thermolysis of cycloadduct 2 affords the rearranged N-chlorosulfonyl-γ-lactam 6 (60%) via a sequence of transient carbonium ions (45). Reductive hydrolysis of 2 and 6 gave, respectively, the NH-β-lactam 3 (70%) and the NH-γ-lactam 7 (70%). Proof of structure of the rearranged γ-lactams 6 and 7 are provided, respectively, by X-ray crystallographic analysis and the application of the Eu(dpm)₃ NMR shift reagent.     

Electrochemical reduction of cobalt and nickel complexes with ligands stabilizing metal in low oxidation state

Electrochemical reduction of cobalt(ii) complexes containing -acceptor ligands (L = bpy, Ph₂Ppy) proceeds through three consecutive reversible steps: one-electron transfer to form a more stable Co^IL complex, transfer of two electrons at more negative potentials to form an anionic [NiL]^– complex, and reduction of the ligand to the radical anion. The stability of the cobalt complexes with different ligands decreases in the series Ph₂Ppy > Ph₃P > bpy.     

DFT Study on the （S）-Proline-catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction between Acetone and 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde

1 INTRODUCTION Aldol reaction, one of the most important C–C bond-formation reactions, is widely utilized in orga- nic synthesis[1]. Extensive efforts have been donated to the development of catalytic stereo-selective va- riants of this reaction[2]. However, the direct aldol reaction between unmodified carbonyles would be the most attractive synthetic alternative. Proline-catalyzed intermolecular direct aldol reac- tion between acetone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde was first reported by List…     

Oxygen-17 nuclear magnetic resonance: The effects of remote unsaturation on 17o-chemical shifts in polycyclic ethers

Natural-abundance ¹⁷O-NMR spectra of 7-oxanorbornane exo-3-oxatricyclo [3.2.1.0^2.4]octane and their unsaturated derivatives (endo cyclic and exocyclic double bonds) have been measured. Linear correlation laws were observed for $\text{δ}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{δ}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$ of these ethers/corresponding hydrocarbons. The “cyclization shifts” for δ_o in ethers were not correlated by the “cyclization shifts” for δ_c of the corresponding hydrocarbons.
