Preparation of Partially Hydrogenated 4,6‐Dimethyldibenzothiophenes

The synthesis of three key intermediates of the hydrogenation pathway in the hydrodesulfurization of 4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6‐DM‐DBT; 1 ) is described. The hydrogenated derivatives 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene (= 4,6‐dimethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydrodibenzothiophene; 4,6‐DM‐TH‐DBT; 2 ), 1,2,3,4,4a,9b‐hexahydro‐4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene (= 4,6‐dimethyl‐1,2,3,4,4a,9b‐hexahydrodibenzothiophene; 4,6‐DM‐HH‐DBT; 3 ), and dodecahydro‐4,6‐dimethyldibenzothiophene (= 4,6‐dimethylperhydrodibenzothiophene; 4,6‐DM‐PH‐DBT; 4 ) were prepared by direct hydrogenation of 1 . The reactions were carried out in continuous and batch reactors by using metal sulfide as well as noble‐metal catalysts. The influence of the reaction conditions on the formation of the products and the distribution of their stereoisomers was studied in detail. The isomers of the main products were isolated and characterized by NMR, GC/MS/MS, and X‐ray crystal‐structure diffractometry.     

Selective Separation of Isomeric Dicarboxylic Acid by the Preferable Crystallization of Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Simple and effective separation of isomeric organic molecules is an important but challenging task. Herein, we successfully developed a selective crystallization strategy to separate the mixtures of isomeric dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) for the first time. The target DCAs could be preferably combined with crystallization inducer of Zr⁴⁺ ions to form a pre‐designed metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) crystal structure whereas the entry of non‐target isomeric DACs into the MOFs lattice could be exclusively inhibited. Several isomeric pairs were exemplified to verify the extensibility and validity of the developed strategy.     

Convenient Methods for Synthesis of Partially Hydrogenated Benzothiazol-2-ylpyridines

By condensation of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, cyanothioacetamide, and 2-phenacylbenzothiazole in the presence of piperidine, we have synthesized piperidinium 5-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-6-phenyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiolate, based on which the corresponding partially hydrogenated 2-alkylthiopyridines have been obtained.     

Separation of Low-Molecular-Weight Organics by Water-Soluble Macrocyclic Arenes

In this study, we fabricate a series of water-soluble anionic macrocyclic arenes, including pillar[5]arene (WP5), pillar[6]arene (WP6), leaning pillar[6]arene (WLT6), and biphenyl-extended pillar[6]arene (WBpP6), which show different separation capabilities toward low-molecular-weight organics, such as short chain haloalkanes, cyclic aliphatics, and aromatics, in water. The liquid–liquid distribution experiments are carried out at room temperature. The separation factor for low-molecular-weight organics is evaluated in the extraction of equimolar mixtures. WP6 demonstrates a high extraction efficiency of up to 89% in separating toluene/methylcyclohexane mixtures. These adsorbents also have the advantages of rapid adsorption, high separation efficiency, remarkable selectivity, and good recyclability. This work not only expands the application scope of macrocyclic chemistry, but also has practical research value for organics separation and water purification.     

Electrochemical Recognition of Amino Acids with Chiral Selective Molecular Sensors

Until the 1970 the separation and selective detection of enantiomers were difficult analytical tasks. This situation has changed with the advent of host-guest chemistry,which makes it feasible to design the size and shape of host binding sites for specific recognition of a certain guest molecule.     

Novel Selective Receptor for SO2 Based on Molecular Recognition

A novel selective receptor for SO₂ containing pyridine-2,6-dimethylamine and pyrene units was investigated. This sensor exhibits remarkably photoluminescent quenching in the presence of SO₂ and is highly inert towards HCl and O₂, which typically affect the detection of SO₂ in industrial exhausts with common methods. Additionally, this SO₂ sensor can work in solid film as well, which is more relevant to materials applications in practice.

Transition Metal-Mediated Separation of Isomeric Pneumocandins by Capillary Electrochromatography

The novel separation of a 3-hydroxyproline containing a semi-synthetic macrocyclic antifungal agent from its structurally related 4-hydroxyproline isomer using capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is described. The molecular weight of the two compounds is 1093 Daltons and they differ only in the placement of a proline -OH group. The separation is achieved using capillaries packed or coated with ODS particles (C18) or with glycerol bound to silica through a carbon chain linker. The presence of a transition metal (Ni(II), Ag(I), Zn(II), or Cu(II)) as buffer additive in the phosphate buffer (pH=2.5):CH₃CN (75:25, v/v) is essential to achieve a baseline separation. HPLC columns packed with similar ODS particles showed no selectivity. Capillaries packed or coated with C18 material under similar conditions showed partial selectivity compared to the glycerol capillaries. Some fundamental aspects of CEC, such as capillary temperature, applied voltage, and buffer composition were varied in order to study the mechanism of the separation. This mechanistic study included the testing of first and second row transition metal ions (individually or in combination), the use of organic solvents, the use of an ion pair reagent, and the use of β- and γ-cyclodextrin to assess the impact on the separation. The resolution was dependent on the metal ion concentration and is consistent with a mechanism of metal-oxygen complexation through the hydroxyl groups of the two isomers and glycerol.
