Trichloroisocyanuric acid is used as an effective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines to their corresponding pyrazoles under both heterogeneous and also solvent free conditions with good yields at room temperature.     

Kinetic study of triphenylphosphine addition to para‐benzoquinone

Kinetics of the addition reaction of triphenylphosphine to para‐benzoquinone in 1,2‐dichloroethane as solvent was studied. Initial rate method was used to determine the order of the reaction with respect to the reactants. Pseudo‐first‐order method was also used to calculate the rate constant. This reaction was monitored by UV‐vis spectrophotometry at 520 nm by variable time method. On the basis of the obtained results, the Arrhenius equation of this reaction was obtained: The activation parameters, E_a, ΔH^#, ΔG^#, and ΔS^# at 300 K were 5.701, 6.294, 19.958 kcal mol^?1 and ?45.853 cal mol^?1 K^?1, respectively. This reaction is first and second order with respect to triphenylphosphine and para‐benzoquinone, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 36:472–479, 2004     

Electroorganic synthesis of catecholthioethers

[reaction: see text] It is demonstrated that o-quinones, generated by the electrochemically driven oxidation of the catechols (1a-d) at physiological pH, are rapidly scavenged by 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (3) to give related catecholthioethers (4a-d) via an EC electrochemical mechanism pathway. The electrochemical syntheses of 4a-d have been successfully performed in one-pot in ambient conditions and in an undivided cell using an environmentally friendly method with high atom economy.     

4-(p-Chloro)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione as a novel and reusable reagent for the oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines under mild conditions

4-(p-Chloro)phenyl-1,3,4-triazole-3,5-dione is used as an effective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines to their corresponding pyrazoles under mild conditions with moderate to good yields at room temperature.     

Synthesis of 1-beta-D-(5-deoxy-5-iodoarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (beta-IAZA): a novel marker of tissue hypoxia

The present work describes the synthesis of the beta-isomer of 1-alpha-D-(5-deoxy-5-iodoarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (IAZA). Radioiodinated IAZA ((123)I-IAZA) has been extensively studied as a radiopharmaceutical for the diagnosis of regional and/or focal tissue hypoxia in a variety of clinical pathologies. The beta-anomer of IAZA, 1-beta-D-(5-deoxy-5-iodoarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (beta-IAZA, 1), was synthesized via an unconventional route starting from 1-beta-D-(ribofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (AZR), with a change of configuration at the C-2'-position to afford 1-beta-D-(arabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (beta-AZA, 7). Nucleophilic iodination of the 5'-O-toluenesulfonyl-2',3'-di-O-acetyl precursor of beta-AZA, 9, followed by deprotection, afforded 1 in satisfactory yield. beta-IAZA (1) was also synthesized from 7 using molecular iodine and triphenylphosphine.     

N,N′,N,N′-TETRABROMO-BENZENE-1,3-DISULFONYLAMIDE AS A NOVEL REAGENT FOR OXIDATIVE AROMATIZATION OF 1,3,5-TRISUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLINES UNDER HETEROGENEOUS AND SOLVENT-FREE CONDITIONS

1,3,5-Trisubstituted pyrazolines were converted to the corresponding pyrazoles in good yields under heterogeneous and solvent-free conditions by N,N′,N,N′-tetrabromo-benzene-1,3-disulfonylamide [TBBDA] at ambient temperature.     

Sonochemical Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properties of Metal Hydroxide and Carbonate (M:Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba) Nanoparticles

In this work Mg(OH)₂, Ca(OH)₂, CaCO₃, SrCO₃ and BaCO₃ nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple sonochemical reaction at room temperature. Nanoparticles were synthesized via a surfactant-free reaction solvent water. Nanostructures materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The photocatalytic behavior of nanoparticles was evaluated using the degradation of a methyl orange aqueous solution under ultraviolet light irradiation. The results show that metal hydroxide and metal carbonate nanoparticles are promising materials with excellent performance in photocatalytic applications.     

Preparation of Fe3O4@5,10‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐7,8‐diol copper complex: A capable nanocatalyst for the green synthesis of 1‐substituted 1H‐tetrazoles

Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with 5,10‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐7,8‐diol were synthesized as was their complex with copper as a novel nanomagnetic iron oxide catalyst via a simple and green method, and characterized using various techniques. The capability of the catalyst was evaluated in the one‐pot three‐component synthesis of different tetrazoles, which showed very good results. Mild reaction conditions, good reusability and simple magnetic work‐up make this methodology interesting for the efficient synthesis of tetrazoles.     

An ultrasound-promoted green approach for the N-formylation of amines under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions at room temperature

A new environmentally benign, convenient, and facile methodology for the N-formylation of amines is reported using ultrasound irradiation under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions at room temperature. Compared with conventional methods, the main advantages of the present procedure are milder, cleaner and greener conditions, shorter reaction time, higher purity and yields, simpler work-up, and lower generation of waste or pollutions.
