Visible light induced tandem reactions: An efficient one pot strategy for constructing quinazolinones using in-situ formed aldehydes under photocatalyst-free and room-temperature conditions

A facile tandem route has been developed for constructing quinazolinones from various aminobenzamides and in-situ generated aldehydes. Visible light was found to play a dual role: first oxidizes the alcohol to the aldehyde and then facilitates its cyclization with o-substituted aniline. Furthermore, alcohols are perfect alternatives to aldehydes because they are greener, more available, more economical, more stable, and less toxic than aldehydes. The first reaction step continuously provides material for the second step, which effectively reduces loss through volatilization, oxidation, and polymerization of the aldehyde, while avoiding its toxicity. A variety of quinazolinones can be prepared in the presence of visible light without any additional photocatalyst. The developed synthesis protocol proceeds with the merits of mild conditions, broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, and high atom efficiency, with an eco-energy source under metal-free, photocatalyst-free, and ambient conditions.     

Theoretical investigation of nonlinear optical behavior for rod and T-Shaped phenothiazine based D-π-A organic compounds and their derivatives

The exploration of novel materials with excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) features is an area of frontline investigation for scientific community from technological point of view. This study reports the novel phenothiazine-based rod-shaped and T-shaped NLO molecules which are quantum chemically designed from synthesized compounds: rod-shaped (CFA and CBA) and T-shaped (CTA, CCA and CPA). Structural tailoring was performed on D-π-π-A centered CPA chromophore and the effect of various π-spacers, as well as solvents on NLO response properties is investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) along with time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations have been executed at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) functional to examine entire analysis. Results showed a smaller energy gap in structurally modified compounds as compared to reference CPA. Global reactivity parameters analysis revealed smaller hardness and larger softness values in T-shaped compounds. UV–Vis analysis of investigated molecules displayed a red shift in absorption maximum value as compared to CPA. Natural bond orbital (NBO) and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis revealed the stability and intra-molecular electron transferring (ICT) process in investigated molecules. ICT showed the effective charge shift from donor to acceptor via π-spacers. Overall, promising NLO response exists in gas phase and different solvents (acetonitrile, ethyl alcohol and water). Interestingly, proposed molecule CPP presented a maximum value of linear polarizability < α > as 1518.23 a.u and first hyperpolarizability (β_tot) as 755322.39 a.u in acetonitrile solvent. In short, entitled chromophores exhibited excellent NLO properties due to their lower charge transport resistance. This NLO study may open a new topic for researchers to discover novel NLO for hi-tech submissions of modern era.

室温下碘催化直接构建硫化吡唑啉酮

含硫化合物在有机合成、药物化学以及材料化学等领域具有重要的作用.到目前为止,科学家已经在C-S键的构建领域进行了很多工作.在构建C-S键的众多方法中,金属催化的C-S键合成反应是一类很重要的反应,但是此方法存在着催化剂对空气敏感、环境不友好等问题.因此,发展无金属催化的C-S键构建反应受到了人们越来越多的重视.基于我们在碘催化相关反应方面的研究,本文报道了一种碘催化的硫化吡唑啉酮类化合物的合成方法.我们选用3-甲基-1-苯基-2-吡唑啉-5-酮与二苯二硫醚为底物进行条件筛选实验,发现I2(10%)为催化剂,二氧六环为溶剂,H2O2为氧化剂为最优化的实验条件,目标产物硫化吡唑啉酮最高产率为88%.在最优化的反应条件下,我们尝试了带有不同官能团(NO2,Cl,OH等)的吡唑啉酮与二硫醚的反应,均能以较高产率得到目标产物.当含有杂环的二硫醚(2,2'-二硫二吡啶)作为反应底物时,也能以中等以上的产率得到相应的目标产物.另外还进行了对比试验,例如在反应体系中加入自由基捕获剂TEMPO,反应产率会大大降低,说明反应中应该有自由基中间体生成;如果反应体系中不加碘,则反应产率为零;如果反应体系中不加H2O2,则反应产率由88%降低至48%,说明碘和H2O2在反应中都起到了重要作用.通过以上对比试验,提出了可能的反应机理:首先,二硫醚发生均裂反应生成苯硫基自由基,然后苯硫基自由基与碘反应生成亲电的PhSI活性中间体,PhSI与异构化的吡唑啉酮发生亲电取代反应,生成目标产物硫化吡唑啉酮和HI,HI可以被H2O2氧化生成I2继续参与下一轮催化反应.以3-甲基-1-苯基-2-吡唑啉-5-酮与二苯二硫醚为底物,我们对此反应进行了放大试验,结果显示反应产率几乎没有降低,这为此反应的大规模应用奠定了基础.在此,我们发展了一种简单高效的合成硫化吡唑啉酮的反应,此方法无需金属催化剂,利用常见的碘为催化剂就可以以较高的产率得到目标产物.为合成含硫化合物提供了一种新的方法.

Effect of fluorination on the phase sequence,dielectric and electro-optical properties of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric mixtures

Four multicomponent room temperature mixtures were formulated using a pyrimidine-based achiral matrix as host and four terphenyl-based ester chiral compounds as dopants. Among the four mixtures, two exhibit antiferroelectric and two other exhibit ferroelectric phases at room temperature. Dopant molecules differ from each other by position and number of fluorine atom substitution at the benzoate group of the molecular rigid core. Number and location of fluorine atoms in the dopant structure show significant effect on the phase sequences as well as on different physical properties. All the mixtures found to have moderate spontaneous polarisation, high tilt angle, very fast switching time and low viscosity which are important for liquid crystal-based display applications.
