STUDIES OF UNUSUAL OXIDATION STATES OF TRANSITION METALS (Ⅰ)——KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF POTASSIUM THIOCYANATE BY DIPERIODATOARGENTATE(Ⅲ) ION IN ALKALINE MEDIUM

The kinetics of oxidation of potassium thiocyanate by diperiodatoargentate (Ⅲ) (DPA) ions was studied in aqueous alkaline medium ([OH~-]=7.00×10~(-3)—0.200 mol. dm~(-3)) at a constant ionic strength (μ=0.30 mol. dm~(-3)). It is found that the reaction order in DPA is unity. The dependence of the rate on [OH~-] implies that there are two pathways through which the reaction proceeds. In each pathway, the order in NCS-is fractional and the kinetic data fit well in with Michaelis-Menten process. The influence of ligand on the reaction is examined and the reactive species are inferred. Two pathways of inner-sphere two-electrons transfer are believed to be involved in the oxidation. The rate equations are derived and all the equilibrium constants and rate constants are evaluated. Activation parameters of one pathway are determined.     

An Efficient Procedure for Esterification of Aryloxyacetic Acid and Arylthioacetic Acid Catalyzed by Silica Sulfuric Acid

Aryloxyacetate and arylthioacetate are wildly used in herbicides, plant regulator and insecticides. Recently, Wille et al. have reported that methyl aryloxyacetate is an efficient agent to prevent and treat allergic contact dermatitis.[1] The most popular synthesis is by heating sodium phenoxide (mercaptide) with ethyl chloroacetate in DMF,[2] or by the esterification of acid with alcohol using concentrated H2SO4 as catalyst.[3] In this paper, synthesis of aryloxyacetate and aryl thioacetate from aryloxyacetic acid and arylthioacetic acid respectively in ether catalyzed by silica sulfuric acid in 83%～94% yields is described. The catalyst is reused for 3 times without significant loss of activity (Entry 4). Compared with common procedures, the present procedure possesses the advantages of the operational simplicity, short reaction time,less-corrosion, high yield and reusable catalyst.     

Recent advances of intermolecular Diels–Alder reaction in bio-inspired synthesis of natural products

The Diels–Alder(D–A)reaction is one of the most powerful reactions in organic synthesis.The intermolecular D–A reaction attracts much less attentions than its intramolecular counterpart in natural product synthesis,possibly due to the issues of reactivity and selectivity.In the past decade,the intermolecular D–A reaction has been increasingly utilized in the total synthesis of structurally complex natural products.In this article,we present a few examples for the elegant applications of the intermolecular D–A reaction that are inspired by biosynthetic hypotheses of the target natural products.These examples demonstrate that D–A reaction is not only useful for preparing building blocks but also powerful for coupling structurally complicated and sterically demanding segments in a highly chemo-and stereo-controlled fashion,which may inspire further developments of intermolecular D–A reaction from both strategy and methodology perspectives.

碘甲烷在碳酸二甲酯直接合成中的作用

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an environmentally friendly compound and a substitutive intermediate for highly toxic phosgene or dimethyl sulfate in carbonylation and methylation reactions as well as a promising octane booster. The common methods for its preparation are the oxidative carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by a variety of transition metal ions and the transesterification of ethylene carbonate or propene carbonate with methanol[1]. The direct synthesis of DMC from carbon dioxide and methanol is a challenging route in which the most abundant carbon resources and a main greenhouse gas is used as feedstock. A new method for the direct synthesis of DMC catalyzed by the methoxide of main group metal has attracted more and more attention since it was reported[2～6] . However the lower conversion of the reaction has become the main obstacle for its application. In this letter, an efficient promoter for the direct synthesis of DMC is reported.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE/POLYSTYRENE SEMIINTERPENETRATING POLYMER NETWORKS

The synthesis of pseudo- and semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) based on poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polystyrene (PS) is described. IPNs were obtained by simultaneous and in situsequential synthesis procedure. The preliminary studies on IPNs properties such as transition temperature,microphase separation and mechanical behaviors have been carried out by using differential scanningcalorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental evidence clearly showed thatsemi-IPNs obtained by sequential synthesis procedure have higher interpenetrating extent than pseudo-IPNssynthesized by simultaneous procedure. Over the full composition, the PDMS/PS IPNs are immiscible. Thepseudo-IPNs microphase separation can be greatly subdued through the formation of grafting bonds betweentwo networks as well as the kinetic rate-matching of the individual network crosslinking.

Appraisal of an oligomerization behavior of unprotected carbohydrates induced by phosphorus reagent

In this article, a novel oligomerization behavior of unprotected monosaccharides was discovered in a one-pot reaction induced by phosphorus reagent at room temperature. The inherent characteristics of the oligomerization reaction were dissected in detail by mass spectrometry based method combined with NMR technology. It was found that the main glycosidic bonding pattern is (1→6) linkage with 66% regioselectivity for each step. The ratio of α-(1→6) and β-(1→6) glycosidic bonds formed is around 1:1. The reactivity of 1-OH group from aldoses and the driving force from penta-coordinated phosphorus intermediates are the two critical factors for the oligomerization, according to the monitoring experiments by ESI-MS and NMR. Besides, the oligomerization reaction has good compatibility for various aldoses and could expand to O-glycosylated modification of peptides in vitro. The above results will provide a novel enlightenment to develop more convenient and higher-efficient methods for the synthesis of oligosaccharide library.
