A versatile protocol for the preparation of substituted 1- and 2-naphthyl piperazines from aminonaphthols

Aminonaphthols are easily transformed into a variety of 1- and 2-naphthyl piperazines using a sequence of diazotization, iodide substitution and Pd(0) catalyzed coupling reactions.     

Preparation of cellulose and cellulose derivative azo compounds

Wood pulp and cotton linter are the most common sources of cellulose forindustrial use. Methyl cellulose (MC) and cellulose sulfate (CS) were preparedusing bleached wood pulp and cotton linter. Coloured azo compounds were alsoprepared from coupling cellulose, wood pulp, MC and CS with aromatic diazoniumsalt. The presence of electron-releasing or withdrawing substituents affectedthe electrophilic substitution reaction. The produced azo compounds werecharacterized by FT-IR methodology, as well as mass spectrometry, in which thefunctional groups and the ion fragments of the products were analyzed.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Monoazo N‐Ester‐1,8‐Naphthalimide Disperse Dyestuffs

Five novel monoazo disperse dyestuffs based on N‐ester‐1,8‐naphthalimide were synthesized. Acenaphthene was nitrated, then oxidized to 4‐nitro‐1,8‐naphthalic anhydride. 4‐Nitro‐1,8‐naphthalic anhydride was reacted with methyl and ethyl glycinate in alcoholic media, followed with reduction. 4‐Amino‐N‐methyl and ethyl glycinate‐1,8‐naphthalimide were obtained. These products were diazotized and coupled with appropriate aromatic amines to give bluish‐red or violet dyestuffs. All intermediates and dyestuffs were purified and characterized by ¹H‐NMR, FTIR, DSC, UV‐VIS and Elemental Analysis. Dispersion of dyestuffs was prepared in water and applied to polyester fabrics. The dyed fabrics showed that four of the synthesized dyestuffs were suitable for coloring polyester fibers, producing deep bluish red with very good build up properties.     

Enantioselectivity of 6-O-alkyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases in capillary GC

Summary Clenbuterol has been determined in urine by solidphase extraction on a C₁₈ cartridge, diazotization of the eluate with nitrite, coupling of the diazonium ion with 1-(naphthyl)ethylenediamine, and separation of the azo dye formed by HPLC with a C₁₈ column and a micellar mobile phase containing 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulphate, 12%n-butanol and 0.05 M citrate buffer, pH 3. Recoveries higher than 90% were obtained by mixing the samples with a 20% 0.2 M NaOH before extraction. Limits of detection of 51 and 6.7 ng L⁻¹ were obtained with spectrophotometric and thermal lens spectrometric detection, respectively; respective repeatabilities were 3.1% (5 μg mL⁻¹) and 5.6% (0.16 μg mL⁻¹).     

Flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of chloramben

Abstract

A method for the dechlorination of PCB mixtures (Aroclor formulations) to biphenyl was extended to soils. The contaminated sample was mixed with magnesium flakes, potassium hexachloropalladiate (K₂PdCl₆), propan-2-ol and water then permitted to react for up to six hours. Biphenyl, recovered by extraction into hexane, was quantified by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. The reaction was very efficient in propan-2-ol / water (～95%), surfactant emulsion or sand mixture and virtually complete in soil provided that excess magnesium (2 g) and the K₂PdCl₆ were added to the sample prior to the addition of water. Higher PCB loadings were readily determined in field contaminated soils either by direct determination within the matrix or by standard additions. However, analyte concentrations were appreciably over-estimated in Soxhlet or sonication extracts of a certified reference material that contained sub-ppm levels of analyte. The over-estimation is considered to result from the conversion in part of natural organic matter to biphenyl.     

The first stable examples of compounds containing both diazonium and acyl azide,and synthesis of a new pyrazino[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-one heterocyclic system

The first stable compound containing both N₂⁺BF₄^? and CON₃ functional groups – 8-azidocarbonyl-3-(tert-butyl)-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-7-diazonium tetrafluoroborate was synthesized, and its stability and reactivity discussed. The Curtius rearrangement of 7-azido-3-(tert-butyl)-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carbonylazide was investigated, and the synthesis of a novel heterocyclic system –pyrazino[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-one is described.     

Studies towards the Synthesis of Alkyl N‐(4‐Nitrophenyl)‐3/2‐oxomorpholine‐2/3‐carboxylates

The syntheses of methyl 4‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐3‐oxomorpholine‐2‐carboxylate ( 3a ) and ethyl 4‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐2‐oxomorpholine‐3‐carboxylate ( 5b ), important building blocks for the synthesis of factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban analogs with potential dual antithrombotic activity, via Rh₂(OAc)₄‐catalyzed O?

Synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via coupling reaction of diaminomaleonitrile with aromatic diazonium salts

A mild procedure for the preparation of 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-iminoacetonitriles and 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-oxoacetonitriles was achieved by the reaction of diaminomaleonitrile and phenyl/substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides. 4-Nitrophenyl diazonium chloride afforded 2-amino-3-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)triaz-1-en-1-yl)maleonitrile. Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.     

Facile synthesis of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids from the corresponding α-amino acids

An effective and improved procedure is developed for the synthesis of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids by treatment of the corresponding protonated α-amino acid with tert-butyl nitrite in 1,4-dioxane–water. The amino moiety must be protonated and located α to a carboxylic acid function in order to undergo initial diazotization and successive hydroxylation, since neither β-amino acids nor acid derivatives such as esters and amides undergo hydroxylations. The method is successfully applied for the synthesis of 18 proteinogenic amino acids.
