A practical access to novel 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones via sulfur/nitrogen displacement under solvent-free microwave irradiation

A new effective approach to the synthesis of a small library of 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones was reported using solvent-free reaction conditions under microwave irradiation. In the first step, rhodanines were subjected to Knoevenagel condensation with aryl aldimines according to a facile one-pot protocol. Then the (5Z)-5-arylidene rhodanine derivatives were transformed directly into the corresponding 2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones by sulfur/nitrogen displacement reaction under microwaves with retention of configuration and good overall yields.     

TheT g displacement measurements: A way to foresee the physical behaviour and the use of glassy polymers

The effect of ageing temperature (belowT _g) on physical ageing of glassy PET has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The position of the glass transition endotherm was found to be strongly dependent on the annealing conditions (time, annealing temperature). A single relaxation time model is proposed for the analysis of physical ageing.The variations of the equilibrium relaxation time _iso with annealing temperature allow the determination of the parameters of the model. Finally, using these constants, one can determine the thermal past and foresee the thermal future of unknown samples which are of prime importance in processes using temperatures around the glass transition temperature.

Zusammenfassung Mittels DSC wurde der Einfluß der Alterungstemperatur (unterhalbT _g) auf das physikalische Altern von glasartigen PET untersucht. Die Lage der Glasumwandlungsendothermen hängt stark von den Temperungsbedingungen (Dauer, Temperungstemperatur) ab. Es wird ein Relaxationszeitmodell für die Analyse physikalischen Alterns vorgeschlagen.Die Parameter dieses Modelles knnen aus der Änderung der Gleichgewichtsrelaxationszeit _iso mit der Temperungstemperatur ermittelt werden. Unter Benutzung dieser Konstanten kann die thermische Vergangenheit unbekannter Proben bestimmt und die thermische Zukunft derselben vorhergesagt werden, was für Vorgänge bei Temperaturen um den Glasumwandlungspunkt von primärer Wichtigkeit ist.

     

Determining PPARγ-ligand binding affinity using fluorescent assay with cis-parinaric acid as a probe

Upon the study of small-molecules binding to proteins, the traditional methods for calculating dissociation constants (Kd and Ki) have shortcomings in dealing with the single binding site models. In this paper, two equations have been derived to solve this problem. These two equations are independent of the total concentration or initial degree of saturation of receptor and the activity of the competitive molecule. Through nonlinear fitting against these two equations, Kd value of a probe can be obtained by binding assay, and Ki value of a ligand can be obtained by competitive assay. Moreover, only the total concentrations of receptor([R]t), ligand([L]t) and probe([P]t) are required for the data fitting. In this work, Ki values of some typical ligands of PPARγ were successfully determined by use of our equations, among which the Ki value of PPARγ-LY171883 was reported for the first time.     

Novel Electroless Deposition of Cu<Subscript>3</Subscript>Se<Subscript>2</Subscript> Film on Silicon Substrate by a Simple Galvanic Displacement Process

A novel electroless deposition method for depositing highly uniform adhesive thin films of copper selenide (Cu₃Se₂) on silicon substrates from aqueous solutions is described. The deposition is carried out by two coupled galvanic reactions in a single deposition bath containing copper cations, hydrogen fluoride, and selenous acid: the galvanic deposition of copper on silicon and the subsequent galvanic reaction between the deposited copper with selenous acid in the deposition bath. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to characterize and examine the deposited films.

An Integrated Theory of Adsorption and Partition Mechanism and Eash Contribution to Solute Retention in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With the combination of the the stoichiometric displacement model for retention (SDM-R) in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and the stoichiometric displacement model for adsorption (SDM-A) in physical chemistry,the total number of moles of the re-solvated methanol of stationary phase side.nr,and that of solute side in the mobile phase,q,corresponding the one mole of the desorbing solute,were separately determined and referred as the characterization parameters of the contributions of the adsorption mechanism and partition mechanism to the solute retention,respectively.A chromatographic system of insulin,using mobile phase consisting of the pseudo-homologue of alcohols(methanol,ethanol and 2-propanol)-water and trifluoroacetic acid was employed.The maximum number of the methanol layers on the stationary phase surface was found to be 10.6,only 3 of which being valid in usual RPLC,traditionally referred as a volume process in partition mechanism.However,it still follows the SDM-R.Both of q and nr of insulin were found not to be zero,indicating that the retention mechanism of insulin is a mixed mode of partition mechanism and adsorption mechanism.When methanol is used as the organic modifier,the ratio of q/nr was 1.13,indicating the contribution to insulin retention due to partition mechanism being a bit greater than that due to adsorption mechanism.A linear relationship between q,or nr and the carbon number of the pseudo-homologue in the mobile phase was also found.As a methodology for investigating the retention mechanism retention and behavior of biopolymers.a homologue of organic solvents as the organic modifier in mobile phase has also been explored.

Thermodynamics of ionic solid solutions: II. Discontinuous series: A new treatment of existing distribution data

A method of finding the activity coefficients of salts, anhydrous or hydrated, in binary solid solutions, described in an earlier paper as it applies to continuous series, has been applied to discontinuous series. The salts must differ with respect to only one ion. The method requires isothermal distribution data for equilibria between liquid (aqueous) and solid solutions in the ternary system consisting of the two salts and water. The following salt pairs were used for illustration: K(I/Br) at 0, 15, 25, 35, and 50°C., (NH₄/K)SCN at 0, 30, 60, and 90°C., (K/Tl)C10₃ at 10°C., and (NH₄/K)SO₃NH₂, (NH₄/K)Br, (Mg/Co)SO₄-7H₂O, and (Mn/Cu) SO₄.n H₂O-all at 25°C. Two kinds of behavior were noted and treated differently: systems in which the two series have the same, and those in which they have different crystal lattices. For two salts, A and B, which have the same lattice, and whose rational activity coefficients, f _A and f _B , can be described by 2-suffix Margules equations (regular solutions), lnf _A =B_sx _B ² and lnf _B =B_sx _A ² to be partially miscible, B_s>2, but this requirement does not apply if the lattices are different. In each series, distribution constants for the equilibria were also determined. Where possible, the calculated activities of the salts or the Gibbs excess energies of the solid solutions were compared with values reported by others who determined them by other methods. All the salt pairs studied show slight or strong positive deviations from ideality.     

Binding of Benzyltrimethylammonium Bromide and its Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium Homologues by β-Cyclodextrin in Water

The binding constants, K′, for the reaction between some alkyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide homologues (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, decyl, and dodecyl, respectively) and β-cyclodextrin in water at 25.0 ± 0.1 ^∘C have been determined, by applying the spectral displacement technique with phenolphthalein as the displacing anion. It has been shown that the ln K′ values increase linearly with the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain for the salts whose alkyl chain has at least four carbon atoms. The ln K′ values estimated for the parent compound benzyltrimetylammonium bromide and its two nearest homologues are distinctly lower than might be expected by extrapolation of the linear relation found for the higher homologues. Assuming that it is the organic cation that undergoes association with β-cyclodextrin, then one may suppose that a change occurs in the mode of inclusion of the cation upon passing to higher homologues. In the case of the lighter homologues, it is the phenylene group that undergoes inclusion. This model of inclusion is confirmed by analysis of rotating-frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) spectra.
