Reactions of 1-alkynylphosphonates with group (IV) complexes

This article describes our recent methods for the synthesis of substituted vinylphosphonates by reacting 1-alkynylphosphnates with group (IV) complexes. cis-Vinylphosphonates, 1,3-butadienylphosphonates, 1-(hydroxymethyl)vinylphosphonates, 2-(hydroxymethyl)vinylphosphonates, (E) 3-oxo-1-alkenylphosphonates were produced as a result of the reactions between zirconium complexes and 1-alkynylphosphonates. On the other hand, titanium complexes afford 3-aminovinylphoshonates, 1,4-bis-phosphonates, and various other di- and tri-substituted vinylphosphonates. An evaluation of access of these recently synthesized vinylphosphonates as MMP-2 inhibitors has shown that certain compounds are very potent and promising.     

A recent approach for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazine systems bearing and/or containing phosphorus atoms as donor-acceptor interaction and their biocidal affects: An overview

Abstract

This review reports the developed methods for the synthesis of polyfunctional 1,2,4-triazine systems bearing and/or containing phosphorus atoms as donor-acceptors interactions. Most of the synthetic methods depend on the interaction between an amino group of the side chain of 1,2,4-triazine with phosphorus reagents. The biological activities, i.e. their biocidal affects as antioxidants, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory as well as molluscicidal agents against some snails are discussed.     

Tetrastrontium dimanganese copper nonaoxide,Sr4Mn2CuO9

Single crystals of Sr₄Mn_2.09Cu_0.91O₉ have been grown by flux synthesis and the structure, closely related to the hexagonal perovskite 2H, was solved from single‐crystal X‐ray data in space group P321. The structure of Sr₄Mn₂CuO₉ is composed of chains of face‐sharing polyhedra with a sequence of two octahedra and one trigonal prism. The octahedra are filled by Mn atoms and the Cu atoms are randomly distributed at the centres of the square faces of the trigonal prism. A stacking fault is observed within one of the two chains, which can be attributed to a shifting of the chain along the c axis.     

Novel vinyl phosphonates and vinyl boronates by halogenation, allylation, and propargylation of alpha-boryl- and alpha-phosphonozirconacyclopentenes

[structure: see text] Alpha-phosphonozirconacyclopentenes or alpha-borylzirconacyclopentenes react by bromination, iodination, allylation, and propargylation to generate unique vinyl boronates and vinyl phosphonates not obtainable by other methods. The reaction proceeds in two steps, with both high regio- and stereoselectivity. With the vinyl boronates, the Zr-Csp2 bond is initially cleaved by 1 equiv of electrophile. With the phosphonates, either the Zr-Csp2 bond (allyl bromide, Br(2)) or the Zr-Csp3 bond (I(2), propargyl bromide) may be initially cleaved. The addition of a second equivalent of an electrophile results in disubstitution.     

The impact of time on the heat resistance of self-compacting high-performance concrete incorporated with recycled martials

The influence of time on the mechanical behavior of concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures has been studied. Twenty-one self-compacting high-performance concrete mixtures with different incorporation amounts of coarse recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and three unprocessed waste powder materials have been tested at age of 270 days for residual compressive and flexural strength after exposure to fire. The results have been compared to the results for the same concrete, which have been studied at age of 90 days. A new parameter has been introduced for comparing the responses of concrete to elevated temperatures at different ages; this parameter was the “heat resistance” which expresses the total area under the curve of the relative residual strength (compressive or flexural) after exposing to six temperature degrees (20, 150, 300, 500, 600, and 800 °C). The results showed that the age of concrete has an influence on the response of concrete to elevated temperatures. The heat resistance of compressive strength enhanced with age but the concrete behaved with a tendency different to that at the age of 90 days. The heat resistance of flexural strength has not been affected or slightly decreased but not with more than 10% to that at the age of 90 days. The used waste powder materials were unprocessed waste fly ash, waste cellular concrete powder and waste perlite powder; they proved that using any of them up to 15% as a replacement for cement with 0% or 25% of RCA enhanced the concrete resistance for the fire with time. The main two reasons for changing of residual strength with the time were the changing of water content and the proceeding of hydration of the binder. In general, long ages testing properties of concrete simulate the real behavior of concrete structures accurately.

     

Synthesis of diaryl sulfides via nickel ferrite‐catalysed C─S bond formation in green media

NiFe₂O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized, characterized and applied as an air‐stable, inexpensive and magnetically separable nanocatalyst for the synthesis of structurally diverse sulfides. Efficient methodologies were developed for the synthesis of unsymmetric diaryl sulfides via odourless and one‐pot reactions of triphenyltin chloride/S₈ or arylboronic acid/S₈ as thiolating agents with aryl halides or nitroarenes as starting materials in the presence of base (K₂CO₃ or NaOH) and NiFe₂O₄ MNPs as a catalyst in water or poly (ethylene glycol) as solvent at 80–110 °C. Free from ligand and the unpleasant smell of thiols and with the use of magnetically reusable nanocatalyst, green solvents and commercially available and cheap sulfur source and starting materials, these methods are more eco‐friendly and practical than available protocols for the synthesis of sulfides.
