Recyclization of pyrimidinium salts into 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

The interaction of the iodomethylates of pyrimidinyl-2-acetic acid derivatives with monosubstituted hydrazines, in addition to the products of a Kost-Sagitullin rearrangement, leads also to N-substituted triazoles. The structure of the triazoles was demonstrated by NOESY NMR experiments. The structure of the reaction products was determined on the basis of the response observed in the spectra between the methyl group protons of the triazole ring and the spatially close proton of the substituent in position 1 and a conclusion was drawn on the direction of the primary attack of nucleophile in the recyclization process of the pyrimidinium salts into a 1,2,4-triazole. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1175–1179, August, 2007.     

General, fast, and high yield oxidation of thiols and disulfides to sulfonic and sulfinic acids using HOF·CH3CN

Thiols and disulfides are oxidized to the corresponding sulfonic and sulfinic acids using HOF·CH₃CN. This oxidation is suitable for a variety of thiols and disulfides and proceeds under mild conditions, in short reaction times and with high yields.     

Surface properties of Reactive Yellow 2 immobilised pHEMA and HEMA/chitosan membranes: characterisation of their selectivity to different proteins

Poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate), pHEMA, and a composite pHEMA/chitosan networks were synthesized in the membrane form via UV initiated photo-polymerisation in the presence of an initiator ,′-azoisobutyronitrile. Reactive Yellow 2 (RY-2) was covalently immobilised as a dye–ligand onto both membranes. The polarity and surface energy of the investigated membranes were determined by contact angle measurement. The incorporation of chitosan in the pHEMA networks produced more hydrophilic surface, as indicated by contact angle analysis. The binding characteristics of lysozyme, γ-globulins, human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) to pHEMA-RY-2 and pHEMA/chitosan-RY-2 affinity membranes have been investigated from aqueous solution and their dye–ligand free forms were used as control systems. When chitosan was incorporated in the pHEMA network as a cationic polymer led to higher adsorption capacity for the lysozyme. Selective adsorption behaviour was also observed in the case of pHEMA/chitosan-RY-2 membrane for the lysozyme. The non-specific adsorptions of the lysozyme on the pHEMA and pHEMA/chitosan membranes were about 1.9 and 7.2 mg/ml, respectively. These were negligible for all others investigated proteins. The lysozyme adsorption data was analysed using the first-order and the second-order models. The first-order equation in both affinity membrane systems is the most appropriate equation to predict the adsorption capacities of the adsorbents. The adsorption isotherms well fitted the combined Langmuir–Freundlich model. A theoretical analysis has been conducted to estimate the thermodynamic contributions (changes in enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy) for the adsorption of lysozyme to both dye–ligand immobilised membranes. The adsorption capacities of both dye–ligand immobilised membranes increased with increasing the temperature while decreased with increasing the NaCl concentration. Both affinity membranes are stable when subjected to sanitization with sodium hydroxide after repeated separation–elution cycles.

Hydrolysis rates of alkyl and aryl sulfinamides: evidence of general acid catalysis

Sulfinamides are important in enantioselective synthesis, as rare post-translational modifications of proteins and as isosteres of the amide bond. Little is known about the rates of hydrolysis for aliphatic sulfinamides or the mechanism of hydrolysis. In this Letter, we show that sulfinamides hydrolyse by predominantly a non-specific acid/base catalysis with phosphate buffer but by varying the buffer concentration, it was possible to determine the hydrolysis rates of a range of sulfinamides with water through non-linear least squares regression.

SYNTHESIS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYANILINE VIA OXIDATION BY MnO2

A unique process of chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as the oxidizing agent in an aqueous medium is described. The reaction between aniline and MnO2 follows a mechanism by which the organic monomer is oxidized while the metal oxide undergoes reductive dissolution. The effects of the amount of oxidizing agent and aniline, pH and temperature of the reactive system, type of acid on the yield and conductivity of polyaniline are discussed. The resulting polyaniline was characterized by [R and UV-Vis spectrometry. Polyaniline with a conductivity of 12.5 S/cm was obtained using 0.033 tool of aniline oxidized by 0.023 tool MnO2 in the presence of 100 mL of 2.7 mol/L HCI at 25℃ for 4 h.     

NMR spectra of salicylohydroxamic acid in DMSO-d6 solution: a DFT study

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹H, ¹³C COSY NMR spectra of salicylohydroxamic acid (sha) were measured in DMSO-d₆ solution. The B3LYP GIAO method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was chosen to reproduce the experimental spectra. All possible zusammen and entgegen conformers of monomeric sha were computed. After geometry optimisation (B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)) only nine independent models of the molecule were shown to be stable. Additionally, the NMR chemical shifts of the Onsager model of the most stable monomer were calculated. The computed chemical shifts for the labile protons for all aforementioned geometries meaningfully underestimated experimental results suggesting the existence of the H-bonded structure of sha in DMSO solution. The most probable two dimeric structures along with two solvent-bounded aggregates were subsequently calculated at the same level of theory. The best agreement was obtained for sha H-bonded with two DMSO molecules (confirmed by the absence of concentration effect). The relative error not exceeding 10 and 4% for chemical shifts in ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of sha–(DMSO)₂, respectively, showed that the applied method with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set was efficient to predict the NMR shifts of a compound with strong H-bonds. Thus, this allows to assign properly NMR resonances to specific structure formed in DMSO solution.     

Effect of 4f-shell excitation of Eu(fod)3 on its complex formation with alicyclic ketones

The complex formation of alicyclic ketones, viz., camphor, cyclohexanone, menthone, and cytisine, with the Eu(fod)₃ chelate (fod is 7,7-dimethyl-1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluorooctane-4,5-dione) in the ground and excited states was studied by chemiluminescence and kinetic luminescence spectroscopy, respectively. The stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of complex formation were determined. An increase in the stability of the electron-excited complexes [Eu(fod)₃*·Ketone] is explained by the enhancement of the acceptor ability of the Eu³⁺ chelate due to an increase in the fraction of the covalent component caused by the involvement of 4f-orbitals. The results obtained give direct evidence for the effect of the 4f-shell excitation of Eu(fod)₃ on complex formation due to the involvement of f-electrons in the chemical bonds.
