Simple route to new oxadiazaboroles and oxadiazoles via amidoximes

Abstract

The novel push–pull alkene, the 2-(nitro-nitrosomethylene)-pyrrolidine with numerous aliphatic or aromatic amines as nucleophiles afforded amidoximes. Various substituted oxadiazaborole and oxadiazole derivatives were prepared starting from these amidoximes, widening the synthetic applicability of the push–pull alkenes. Acylation of the amidoximes was also examined. The mechanism of the amidoxime formation was investigated by computational methods.     

供应链视角下的增值税改革影响研究

构建了一个制造商和一个零售商所组成的两级供应链模型,研究增值税税率下调对供应链决策和社会福利的影响.结果表明,下调制造商、零售商增值税税率都会使产品零售价降低,提高零售商和制造商的利润.下调增值税税率给制造商带来的利润增量大于给零售商带来的利润增量.制造商税率下调导致批发价降低,零售商税率下调反而提高批发价.社会福利的变化趋势与潜在需求规模有关.当潜在需求规模较高时,社会福利总是随降税幅度的增大而增大,且税率降低后的社会福利大于税率降低前;当潜在需求规模中等时,社会福利随降税幅度的增大而减小,但税率降低后的社会福利仍大于税率降低前;当潜在需求规模较小时,社会福利随降税幅度的增大而减小,增值税税率下调损害了社会福利.     

Multiple Dynamic Bonds-Driven Integrated Cathode/Polymer Electrolyte for Stable All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are considered as the promising higher-energy and improved-safety energy-storage systems. Nevertheless, the electrolyte-electrodes interfacial issues due to the limited solid physical contact lead to discontinuous interfacial charge transport and large interfacial resistance, thereby suffering from unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. Herein, we construct an integrated cathode/polymer electrolyte for all-solid-state LMBs under the action of polymer chains exchange and recombination originating from multiple dynamic bonds in our well-designed dynamic supramolecular ionic conductive elastomers (DSICE) molecular structure. The DSICE acts as polymer electrolytes with excellent electrochemical performance and mechanical properties, achieving the ultrathin pure polymer electrolyte thickness (12 μm). Notably, the DSICE also functions as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄, LFP) cathode binders with enhanced adhesive capability. Such well-constructed Li|DSICE|LFP-DSICE cells generate delicate electrolyte-electrodes interfacial contact at the molecular level, providing continuous Li⁺ transport pathways and promoting uniform Li⁺ deposition, further delivering superior long-term charge/discharge stability (>600 cycles, Coulombic efficiency, >99.8 %) and high capacity retention (80 % after 400 cycles). More practically, the Li|DSICE|LFP-DSICE pouch cells show stable electrochemical performance, excellent flexibility and safety under abusive tests.

10‐Step Asymmetric Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Elucidation of (+)‐Dragmacidin D

The asymmetric synthesis of dragmacidin D ( 1 ) was completed in 10 steps. Its sole stereocenter was set by using direct asymmetric alkylation enabled by a C₂‐symmetric tetramine and lithium N‐(trimethylsilyl)‐tert‐butylamide as the enolization reagent. A central Larock indole synthesis was employed in a convergent assembly of the heterocyclic subunits. The stereochemical evidence from this work strongly supports the predicted S configuration at the 6′′′ position, which is consistent with other members of the dragmacidin family of natural products.     

Thermodynamics of krypton adsorption on microporous carbon adsorbent at high pressures

The behavior of the thermodynamic functions for the adsorption system krypton—microporous carbon sorbent ACC is described. The dependences of the differential molar isosteric heat of adsorption, entropy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and differential molar energy of the adsorption system on the adsorption equilibrium parameters were studied over the temperature range from 178 to 393 K and at pressures ranging from 1 to 6?106 Pa. Consideration of the non-ideality of gas phase and non-inertness of the adsorbent leads to a temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions of the studied adsorption system, especially in the range of high pressures of the adsorptive. The non-ideality of the gas phase and the energetics of the adsorbent—adsorbate system exert the most significant effect on the thermodynamic functions. The non-inertness of the adsorbent in the investigated range of parameters of the adsorption system has a weak effect on the thermodynamic functions of adsorption. In the region of high filling of ACC micropores, the entropy increases, indicating the existence of processes, which change the structure of the adsorbate in the micropores, in particular, to form associates.     

Inverse gas chromatography for natural fibre characterisation: dispersive and acid-base distribution profiles of the surface energy

Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) is a gas sorption technique to determine the surface energy of natural fibres. The surface energy is directly related to the thermodynamic work of adhesion and it reflects the fibre adsorption capacity and its wettability. However, natural fibres have a complex surface chemistry of numerous organic species and present physical asperities that render the surface energetically heterogeneous. Since IGC is typically performed at infinite dilution where only the higher energetic sites interact with the solvent, a single measure of surface energy is likely to be misleading as the surface energy changes with changing chemical composition. Here we present the dispersive and acid-base surface energy profiles of flax and kenaf fibres as well as continuous filament fibres produced by a dry jet, wet spinning process (cellulose B). We injected a series of n-alkanes at finite dilution to obtain the dispersive energy distribution profile at \(30\,^{\circ }\hbox {C}\) and 0% RH. The acid-base contributions were determined by injection of mono polar probes (dichloromethane, ethylacetate) at the same surface coverages and applying the Van Oss method. The cellulose B fibres were the most energetically homogeneous, while the bast fibres were shown to have a higher polar component and much broader surface energy distributions than the cellulose fibres.     

Synthesis and characterization of Rosuvastatin calcium impurity A; a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

During the process development for multistep synthesis of Rosuvastatin calcium several impurities were obtained along with the final Rosuvastatin calcium. Out of this; synthesis of impurity A (acetone adduct) a minor impurity of Rosuvastatin calcium (3R,5S,6E)-7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[[(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)sulfonyl(methyl)amino]-6-(1-methylethyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptenoicacid hemicalcium salt, is described. The synthesis of impurity A has been accomplished in 6 steps; starting from formation of β-hydroxy sulfonamide as the key intermediate and followed by using convenient routes with overall yield of 13.5%. The target compound can be used as the reference substance of impurity of the Rosuvastatin calcium.
