Catalytic Hydrolysis of Phosphate Diester with Metal Complexes of Macrocyclic Tetraamine in Comicellar Solution

Four novel pyridine or benzene ring‐containing pendant macrocyclic dioxotetraamines 2,6‐dixo‐l,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane ligands have been synthesized. Their metal complexes have been investigated as catalysts for the hydrolysis of bis(p‐nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) in aqueous comicellar solution. The results indicate mat the hydrophobic interaction between substrate and metal complex, the nature of transition metal ion, and the micellar microenvironment are important factors for the hydrolysis of BNPP. Large rate enhancement (up to over two‐three orders of magnitude) employing 5 has been observed.

Asymmetric Synthesis of β‐DDB Through Oxazoline‐Mediated Ullmann Coupling

Biphenyl lignan (β‐DDB) (2), an effective drug in the treatment of hepatitis, was for the first time asymmetrically synthesized via a chiral oxazoline mediated Ullmann coupling. The two enantiomers of β‐DDB have been obtained in this way by using the optically pure amino alcohols L‐valinol and D‐valinol, respectively. However, attempts to synthesize enantiopure α‐DDB (1) by the same method failed because of the racemization of 1 at room temperature in solution.

Synthesis of aromatic liquid crystals with asymmetric diester based on rod-like multi-ring system by two-step esterification method

A novel method of two-step esterifications was developed to synthesize compounds with asymmetric double ester groups. By using this method, six rod-like double ester compounds were prepared with p-hydroxy benzaldehyde, p-hydroxy benzoic acid bicyclohexyl carboxylic acid, cyclohexyl benzoic acid and biphenyl carboxylic acid substituted by n-propyl and n-pentyl as main reactants. The structures and properties of target compounds were confirmed by IR, MS, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot stage polarizing optical microscope (HS-POM). Typical yields of the target molecules were more than 70%. All the molecules have mesophases with the textures of nematic type, indicating a rod-like molecule with a longer rigid skeleton can keep its mesophases. There was no clearing point observed for any of the derivatives before they decomposed so that the temperature ranges of the mesophases could not be determined. The energy differences between frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) (E_g) of the compounds were calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The terminal ring system has an obvious influence on the energy levels and the energy gaps (E_g).     

Determination of Polyethylene Glycol Monoester Acrylate and Polyethylene Glycol Diester Acrylate Using Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

A procedure was developed for the determination of polyethylene glycol monoester acrylate (PEGMA) and polyethylene glycol diester acrylate (PEGDA) by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) with UV detector. Sample was well separated on an SinoChrom ODS-BP (C-18) column (200 × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) with mobile phases composed of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer solution (0.05 mol · L^?1 pH = 6.86) in the ratio of 42:58 (v/v). The PEGMA and PEGDA were detected by UV detector at 205 nm, and quantitatively analyzed with an external standard of methyl acrylate. For PEGMA, the linear response ranged from 0.40 × 10^?5 mol · L^?1 to 2.00 × 10^?3mol · L^?1 (r² > 0.999), the detection limit was 0.12 × 10^?5 mol · L^?1, the recovery rate was found to be 93.4%–99.7%. For PEGDA, the linear response ranged from 0.20 × 10^?5 mol · L^?1 to 1.00 × 10^?3mol · L^?1 (r² > 0.999), the detection limit was 0.04 × 10^?5 mol · L^?1, the recovery rate was found to be 99.1% ～ 105.8%. This quantitative method can also be used in the HPLC analysis of other α,β-unsaturated esters.     

Investigation of polyimide formation from the complexes of the diester of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid with diamines 7. Role of theo-carboxylic group of acid diester in the formation and imidization of H-complexes

The kinetics of thermal imidization of various H-complexes of semiesters of bis(o-phthalic) acids with diamines was studied. The activation energy of the imidization was shown to increase with increasing pK_a value of the diamine andE _a value of the dianhydride and with decreasing nucleophilicity of the alcohol used for the synthesis of H-complexes. The experimental kinetic data and the results of quantum chemical calculations of the heats of formation of the initial H-complexes and transition states made it possible to propose a mechanism for the imidization reaction. This mechanism takes into account the catalytic effect of the carboxylic group of the semiester in theo-position with respect to the ester group.For report 6, seeIzv. Akad. Nauk, Ser.

Alternatives to 1-H-tetrazole in the preparation of phosphonate diesters and phosphonamidates from phosphonyl dichlorides

5-Ethylthio-1-H-tetrazole (SET) and 4,5-dicyanoimidazole (DCI) were examined as alternatives to 1-H-tetrazole to mediate the synthesis of phosphonate diesters and phosphonamidates from phosphonyl dichlorides through a two-step one-pot reaction in various organic solvents. SET and DCI were comparable to 1-H-tetrazole for catalyzing these reactions. SET afforded slightly greater yields than DCI while benzene was universally the best solvent for this reaction.     

Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and in-source fragmentation of lutein esters

Negative-ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry and in-source collisionally induced dissociation (CID) were employed to obtain structural information of lutein esters from marigold extract. Both molecular ions and structurally significant fragments corresponding to the loss of fatty acids were observed in high abundance in the current study. Six lutein diesters including lauroylmyristoyl-lutein (LML), dimyristoyl-lutein (dML), myristoylpalmitoyl-lutein (MPL), dipalmitoyl-lutein (dPL), palmitoylstearoyl-lutein (PSL) and distearoyl-lutein (dSL) were characterized in a marigold flower extract. Breakdown curves (plots of relative ion abundance vs. internal energy) of three lutein diesters were established by monitoring the relative ion abundance of molecular and fragment ions at different cone voltages during negative-ion APCI-LC/MS analysis.     

The tribological chemistry of polysulfides in mineral oil and synthetic diester

Two organic polysulfides, dipropyl trisulfide (DPTS) and 3,5-diisopropyl-1,2,4-trithiolane (DIPTT) in mineral oil (MO) and synthetic diester (DE) were investigated on thermal films and tribofilms by using X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The results of surface analysis reveal that the thermal films formed from MO for two additives are consist of sulfate and sulfite, while the distinct composition of the films from DE implies the different sensitivity to oxygen between two compounds. As to the tribofilms, “hydrosulfite-like compound” is differentiated from sulfite and FeS_x (1 < x < 2) is detected in low energy region from DPTS/MO, as well as a lower concentration of DPTS/DE. At a high concentration in DE, the surface of sample for DPTS is full of iron sulfide. With regard to DIPTT, iron sulfite is the exclusive oxidized form of sulfur instead of “hydrosulfite-like compound” in the tribofilms, which is an evidence suggesting a mechanism involving a role played by a thiyl radical.
