An efficient and simple aminobenzannulation reaction: pyrrolidine as a trigger for the synthesis of 1-amino-acridines

[reaction: see text] A new aminobenzannulation methodology has been developed and applied successfully to the synthesis of 1-amino-acridines. The key and last step goes through an enamine intermediate that was detected in some cases. When pyrrolidine and powdered 4 A molecular sieves were used, the enamine synthesis and the aminobenzannulation step took place subsequently, whereas for other secondary amines, neutral Al(2)O(3) or PtCl(2) catalysis was necessary.     

Co(II)5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4: the first ferromagnet based on a layered cobalt-hydroxide pillared by inorganic...OSO3-Co(H2O)4-O3SO..

The synthetic mineral Co(II)5(OH)6(SO4)2(H2O)4 (1), obtained by hydrothermal reaction of CoSO4.7H2O and NaOH at 165 degrees C and consisting of brucite-like Co4(OH)6O2 layers pillared by OSO3-Co(H2O)4-O3SO, is a ferromagnet (T(Curie)= 12 K, Hc= 580 Oe).     

Synthesis, nuclear, and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of [Mn3(OH)2(SO4)2(H2O)2

[Mn(3)(OH)(2)(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)] and its deuterated analogue were synthesized by a hydrothermal technique and characterized by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and IR spectroscopy. Its nuclear structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and Rietveld analysis of neutron powder-diffraction data, consists of a 3D network of chains of edge-sharing Mn(1)O(6), running along the c axis, connected by the apices of Mn(2)O(6) and SO(4) units. It is isostructural to the nickel analogue. Determination of the magnetic structure and measurements of magnetization and heat capacity indicate the coexistence of both magnetic long-range ordering (LRO) and short-range ordering (SRO) below a Néel temperature of 26 K, while the SRO is retained at higher temperatures. The moments of the two independent Mn atoms lie in the bc plane, and that of Mn(1) rotates continuously by 54 degrees towards the c axis on decreasing the temperature from 25 to 1.4 K. While the SRO may be associated with frustration of the moments within a Mn(3) trimer, the LRO is achieved by antiparallel alignment of the four symmetry-related trimers within the magnetic unit cell. A spin-flop field, measured by dc and ac magnetization on a SQUID, is observed at 15 kOe.     

Charge transfer complexes of methylnaphthalene derivatives with TCNE in CCl4.

The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of different substituted methylnaphthalenes charge transfer (CT) complexes with tetracyanoethylene have been studied in carbon tetrachloride. The spectral characteristics of the CT bands have also been discussed in relation to the positions of methyl groups. The formation constants and the spectral properties of the complexes are markedly affected with the substitution position of the methyl groups. The ionization potentials of the donors are determined.     

Spectral and magnetic properties of phenylazo-6-aminouracil complexes

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with substituted phenylazo-6-aminouracils containing (-H, p-OH, p-CH(3), p-OCH(3) p-COOH) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements and spectral measurements (IR, UV-Vis, ESR). Infrared spectra assigned the fundamental bands of the major groups, O-H, N-H, C-H, C=O, C=N, N=N, C-N and C-O (nu, delta and gamma modes of vibrations). The absence of nu(OH) and the appearance of nu(C=O) in the infrared spectra of the free ligands of 5-(p-tolyl and p-anisylazo)-6-aminouracil, assigned the keto structure, whereas in cases of 5-(phenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl and p-carboxyphenylazo)-6-aminouracil ligands, the data showed strong nu(OH) and nu(C=O) bands to assign keto-enol tautomerisms. The modes of interactions between the ligands and the metals were discussed, where oxygen and nitrogen atoms (of amino-amide groups) are involved in chelation. The azo group was not involved in chelation for all the prepared complexes except those of copper complexes derived from 5-(phenyl, p-tolyl, p-hydroxyphenyl and p-carboxyphenylazo)-6-aminouracils. The room temperature effective magnetic moment values, the Nujol mull spectra and ESR proved that all the prepared complexes were of octahedral geometry, except the nickel complex derived from 5-(phenylazo)-6-aminouracil and cobalt complex derived from 5-(p-carboxy-phenylazo)-6-aminouracil were square planar.     

Purification and characterization of two low molecular weight endoglucanases produced by Penicillium occitanis mutant pol 6

Two endoglucanases (EGs), EG A and EG B, were purified to homogeneity from Penicillium occitanis mutant Pol 6 culture medium. The molecular weights of EG A and EG B were 31,000 and 28,000 kDa, respectively. The pI was about 3 for EG A and 7.5 for EG B. Optimal activity was obtained at pH 3.5 for both endoglucanases. Optimal temperature for enzyme activity was 60 degrees C for EG A and 50 degrees C for EG B. EG A was thermostable at 60 degrees C and remained active after 1 h at 70 degrees C. EGs hydrolyzed carboxymethylcellulose, phosphoric acid swollen cellulose, and beta-glucan efficiently, whereas microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) and laminarin were poorly hydrolyzed. Only EG B showed xylanase activity. Furthermore, these EGs were insensitive to the action of glucose and cellobiose but were inhibited by the divalent cations Hg2+, Co2+, and Mn2+.     

Investigation on corrosion inhibition and adsorption mechanism of azomethine derivatives at mild steel/0.5 ​M ​H2SO4 solution interface: Gravimetric,electrochemical, SEM and EDX studies

The inhibition performance of five azomethine derivatives such as: 1-(4-Methyloxy phenylimino)-1-(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₁), 1-(4-Methylphenylimino)-1-(phenylhydrazono) propan-2-one (SB₂), 1-(phenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₃), 1-(4-Bromo phenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono)-propan-2-one (SB₄) and 1-(4-Chlorophenylimino)-1(phenylhydrazono) -propan-2-on (SB₅) as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in sulfuric acid 0.5 ?M were investigated using different methods. All experimental results demonstrate that these compounds are eficients inhibitors. The inhibition efficiencies ($IE$) increase with inhibitors concentration. At 7.5 $\times$ 10^?5 ?M, the $IE$ was 97.27%, 96.31%, 94.23%, 93.19 and 91.64% for SB₁, SB₂, SB₃, SB₄ and SB₅, respectively. The potentiodynamic polarization results indicated that all the studied inhibitors act as mixed type. The adsorption process on mild steel surface obeyed Langmuir isotherm. The associated activation parameters and thermodynamic have been calculated and discussed. The adsorbed film formed on the metal surface was characterized by SEM and EDX.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Characterization of Na7Cu4(AsO4)5

Abstract

Sodium copper (II) arsenate Na₇Cu₄(AsO₄)₅ has been grown by conventional high-temperature, solid-state methods in molten-salt media. It was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (DTA–TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), semiquantitative energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis (EDS), and vibrational spectroscopy. Na₇Cu₄(AsO₄)₅ exhibits a three-dimensional framework built up of CuO₅, CuO₄, and AsO₄ polyhedra, with intersecting channels in which the Na⁺ cations are located. The three-dimensional cohesion of the framework results from Cu–O–As bridges. CuO₅ and CuO₄ polyhedra are elongated due to the Jahn–Teller effect, whereas AsO₄ tetrahedra are almost regular. This new structural model is validated by the charge distribution (CD) analysis. The infrared and Raman spectra confirmed the presence of AsO₄ tetrahedra.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Characterization of a New Adduct 3-Ammoniumphenyl Sulfone Dihydrogenphosphate Phosphoric Acid [C12H14N2SO2](H2PO4)2H3PO4

Abstract

A new adduct 3-ammoniumphenyl sulfone dihydrogenphosphate phosphoric acid, [C₁₂H₁₄N₂O₂S](H₂PO₄)₂H₃PO₄, has been synthesized by slow evaporation at room temperature using 3-aminophenyl sulfone as the structure-directing agent. The structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 293 K, can be described as inorganic layers built by H₂PO₄ ^? groups and H₃PO₄ molecules, parallel to the (a, c) planes at y = 0.5, between which molecules of the organic group [C₁₂H₁₄N₂O₂S]²⁺ are inserted. In this atomic arrangement, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions between the different species play an important role in the tri-dimensional network cohesion. Solid-state ¹³C and ³¹P MAS NMR spectroscopies are in agreement with the X-ray structure.
