Antimicrobial Properties of 4-Aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ2-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones

Four 4-aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ²-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-1-[(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)carbonyl]thiosemicarbazides in alkaline medium. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized triazoles was evaluated. Semiempirical calculations of geometries, energies, and QSAR parameters have been determined in the hope of gaining insight into different biological activities of closely related isomers. New RM1 parameterization has been shown to perform very well for this class of compounds.

Quantum-chemical simulation of the elementary step of the oxidation reactions of styrene and its derivatives involving <Superscript>1</Superscript>О<Subscript>2</Subscript> (<Superscript>1</Superscript>Δg)

The results of simulation of the oxidation reaction of styrene and its methyl (two isomers) and phenyl derivatives with molecular oxygen in the excited singlet state (¹Δg) have enabled the conclusion that the reaction can proceed through several mechanisms. For styrene and its phenyl derivative, three reaction channels are possible, and for the methyl derivative, there are four possible channels. For the first two substrates, the major channel is 1,2-addition to form dioxetane; for the methyl derivatives, an extra channel to give a hydroperoxide species is possible in addition to the above channel. The multichannel reaction character revealed by calculations makes it possible to qualitatively understand the reason behind the moderate selectivity (no more than 70%) of such reactions in the case of styrene and its derivatives.     

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C-labeled bilirubin: synthesis of 3<Superscript>1</Superscript>(3<Superscript>2</Superscript>),17<Superscript>1</Superscript>(17<Superscript>2</Superscript>)-di-[<Superscript>13</Superscript>C]-mesobilirubin-XIIIα

Abstract  The title compound, labeled with ¹³C in the ethyl groups was synthesized from K¹³CN and low-molecular-weight components. The synthetic relay compound was 3¹(3²)[¹³C]-xanthobilirubinic acid methyl ester in a synthetic route that leads to a label in the ethyl β-substituent of a dipyrrinone model for bilirubin. This labeled dipyrrinone was oxidatively coupled to the dimethyl ester of mesobiliverdin-XIIIα, thereby providing a route to a ¹³C-labeled mesobiliverdin and mesobilirubin, with one carbon of each ethyl being 98% ¹³C-enriched.

Studies on structure and electrochemical properties of pillared M–MnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> (M=Ba<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Sr<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, ZrO<Superscript>2+</Superscript>)

Supramolecular pillared oxides were prepared through the intercalation of M²⁺ cations into a MnO₂ host matrix by the method of ion exchange between the precursor δ-K _x MnO₂ and the corresponding guest. The materials M-MnO₂ crystallize in the hexagonal system, the same structure as the precursor, with a larger interlamellar spacing. In the case of ZrO-MnO₂, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) determination indicates that the Zr atom locates between the MnO₂ layers forming a stable structure. Compared with the precursor, the cycling property of M-MnO₂ was improved distinctly, while the capacity decreased to some degree due to the strong interaction between pillars and the host matrix. Among these pillared materials, ZrO-MnO₂ has an advanced reversible capacity of 161.5 mAh·g⁻¹ and improved cycling behavior compared with the precursor.     

Structures of the complex ions [CuCl<Subscript>4</Subscript>]<Superscript>2−</Superscript> and [CuCl<Subscript>5</Subscript>]<Superscript>3−</Superscript>

The electronic structures of the complex ions [CuCl₄]^2? and [CuCl₅]^3? were analyzed in terms of the extended angular overlap model (AOM) with consideration to sd and pd mixing. The total antibonding orbital energies of these ions show no anomalies in the transition from a tetrahedron to a planar square [CuCl₄]^2? and from a trigonal bipyramid to a tetragonal pyramid [CuCl₅]^3?. Presumably, the existence of numerous intermediate forms of these complexes is mainly due to the packing effects rather than the electronic factors.     

Synthesis and properties of 5-furyl(aryl)-Δ2-1,2,4-triazolines and -Δ2-1,3,4-thiadiazolines. Molecular and crystal structure of 2-acetylamino-5-phenyl-Δ2-1,3,4-thiadiazoline

We show that upon acylation of arylidene amidrazones of 5-nitro-2-furancarboxylic acid, 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-²-1,2,4-triazolines or 5-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1,2,4-triazole are formed (depending on the structure of the arylidene moiety). ²-1,3,4-thiadiazolines are obtained by reaction of thiosemicarbazones of aromatic and furaldehydes and furan ketones. We discuss schemes for closure of the triazolidine, triazole, and thiadiazoline rings. We describe the molecular structure of 2-acetylamino-4-acetyl-5-phenyl-²-1,3,4-thiadiazoline.Kuban State Technological University, Krasnodar 350072.

Quantum-chemical simulation of unit process for the oxidation reactions of ethylene and its derivatives invoving <Superscript>1</Superscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> (<Superscript>1</Superscript>Δg)

The results of simulation of oxidation reactions of ethylene derivatives with different substituents (F atoms, CH₃O and CH₃ groups) and butadiene molecule with participation of ¹O₂ (¹Δg) have shown the possibility to realize different routes for the majority of the considered reactions. The largest product variety is obtained for butadiene and CH₃ derivatives of ethylene. For butadiene, along with 1,2-cycloaddition reactions resulting in four-membered dioxetane (which is realized in all cases), the possibility to form six-membered cyclic epidioxides (1,4-addition) and diepoxide products with two three-membered rings (epoxidation) has been found. The formation of hydroperoxide forms along with 1,2-addition reactions is also possible for all CH₃ derivatives of ethylene. Formation conditions and relative stability of the noted products have been analyzed for each case and certain features of the revealed reaction pathways with the transfer of two oxygen atoms have been discussed.     

Complexation of 4′-Nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 with Zn<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Mn<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Cr<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Sn<Superscript>4+</Superscript> Cations in Acetonitrile–Ethanol Binary Mixtures

The complexation reactions of 4′-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 (4′NB15C5) with Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cr³⁺ and Sn⁴⁺ cations were studied in acetonitrile–ethanol (AN–EtOH) binary solvent mixtures at different temperatures by the electrical conductometry method. The stability constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were determined from computer fitting of the conductance versus mole ratio data. The results show that the selectivity order of 4′NB15C5 for the metal cations in the AN–EtOH (mol-%AN=76) binary solvent at 298.15 K is: Cr³⁺>Mn²⁺≈Zn²⁺>Sn⁴⁺, but the selectivity order changes with the composition of the mixed solvents. A nonlinear relationship was observed between the stability constants (log ₁₀ K _f) of these complexes and the composition of the AN–EtOH binary solvents. The corresponding thermodynamic parameters (DH_c^o, DS_c^o)(\Delta H_{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{o}}, \Delta S_{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{o}}) were obtained from the temperature dependence of the stability constants using van’t Hoff plots. The results show that the values and also the sign of these parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.     

The thermodynamic properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>-(η<Superscript>5</Superscript>-cyclopentadienylirondicarbonyl)

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity of crystalline bis-(η⁵-cyclopentadienylirondicarbonyl) was studied over the temperature range 5–495 K in precision adiabatic vacuum and differential scanning calorimeters. The temperature dependence contained an anomaly (160–295 K) with a maximum at 250 K interpreted as a λ transition in the solid state. The fusion of the sample occurred at 435–491 K; it was accompanied by partial substance decomposition. The thermodynamic functions of crystalline bis-(η⁵-cyclopentadienylirondicarbonyl) were calculated from T→0 to 472.9 K. The enthalpy of combustion of the compound was determined in an isothermal calorimeter with a stationary bomb. The standard thermodynamic functions of its formation in the crystalline state at 298.15 K were calculated.
