Determination of the Absolute Configuration of Rohitukine

The absolute configuration of rohitukine, isolated from the stem-bark of Dysoxylum binectariferum, was determined to be 5,7-dihydroxy-2-methyl-8-[4-(3S, 4R-3-hydroxy-1-methyl)-piperidinyl]-4H-l-benzopyran-4-one by X-ray crystallographic analysis on the crystal of,4-bromobenzoyl derivatives of rohitukine.

Enhanced conversion of α-cellulose to 5-HMF in aqueous biphasic system catalyzed by FeCl_3-CuCl_2

This study was to investigate the optimal additions of the cellulose decomposition reaction to obtain the most yield of 5-HMF and other furan derivatives in various biphasic systems with FeCl_3-CuCl_2 mixed catalysts,and explore its depolymerization kinetics.A series of controllable reactions have been performed under mild environmentally friendly atmosphere.The experiment results showed that49.13 wt% of 5-HMF was the maximum production along with 2.98 wt% other furan derivatives catalyzed by mixed Lewis acid FeCl_3-CuCl_2 under the two phases which included high concentration NaCl aqueous phase and n-butanol organic phase at 190℃ for 45 min.The conclusion suggested that two-phase systems benefited the yield of 5-HMF,furan derivatives via extracting the target products from reaction phase to organic phase to avoid rehydration of 5-HMF.The kinetic calculation revealed the conversion with mixed catalysts had lower reaction apparent activation energy(21.65 kJ/mol,190-230℃) and the reaction rate was faster than that with acid-based catalysts.Based on experiment exploration,the probable mechanism of cellulose decomposition with FeCl_3-CuCl_2 was proposed.

Differentiation of Constitutional Isomer of 2,2a,3,4-Tetrahydro- 4-methyl-2a-phenyl-2- （thiophen-2-yl）- 1H-azeto [-2,1-d] [- 1,51benzothiazepin-1-one-5-oxide and Fragmentations of 2,3-Dihydro-2,4-diphenyl-1,5-benzothiazepine-l-oxide／- 1,1-d

Mass spectrometric behaviour of 2,2a, 3,4-tetrahydro-4-methyl-2a-phenyl-2- (thiophen-2-yl)- 1H-azeto [-2,1-d-J1-1,5-]benzothiazepin-l-one-5-oxide and 2,3-dihydro-2,4-diphenyl-1,5-benzothiazepine-l-oxide/-1,1-dioxide have been studied with the aid of mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and accurate mass measurements under electron impact ionization. The monooxide derivatives showed a tendency to eliminate an alkene or an oxygen atom. 1H-Azeto[-2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepin-1-one-5-oxide could also eliminate the thiophen- 2-ylketene molecule via a reverse [-2 q- 2 ~ cycloaddition. 2,3-Dihydro-2,4-diphenyl- 1,5-benzothiazepine-1-oxide/-1, 1-dioxide could eliminate SO2 or SO, respectively. The structure of 2,2a, 3, 4-tetrahydro-4-methyl-2a-phenyl-2- (thiophen-2-yl)-1H-azeto 1-2,1-d-] [1,5 -] benzothiazepin-1-one-5-oxide was identified on the basis of its fragmentation. The identification was supported by the fragmentations of model compound, 2,3-dihydro-2,4-diphenyl-1,5-benzothiazepine-1-oxide/-1,1-dioxide.     

Effect of Solvents on Oxidation of 1, 1′-Bi-2-naphthol

A novel biomimetic catalyst of complex Cu (p-OTs)2/ethanolamine (1 : 1 ) was used to oxidize 1, 1′-bi-2naphthol into xanthene derivatives with a relative high yield in a mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and CH3OH. The studies on the effect of some solvents on the yield of xanthene derivatives indicates that the yield reduces dramatically with the increase of the content of H2O in the mixed solvents of H2O and DMSO. No product can be obtained when the content of H2O is up to 70%. The cyclic voltammetric study demonstrated that the copper ion in complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1:1) is reduced via a twostep one-electron reduction process from Cu (Ⅱ) to Cu in the mixture of DMSO and H2O. Water as a poor solvent in respect to the reactants probably hampered the coordination of 1, 1′-bi-2-naphthol to copper/amine complex and led to the insufficient catalytic efficiency of complex Cu(p-OTs),/ethanolamine(1:1).     

Michael-Addition Reaction of Malononitrile with α,β-Unsaturated Cycloketones Catalyzed by KF／Al2O3

A series of KF/Al2O3 catalyzed Michael-addition reactions between malononitrile and α,β-unsaturated cycloketones in DMF solution were studied. At room temperature, 2-cyano-3-aryl-3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one-2-yl) propionitrile derivatives were synthesized by the reaction between 2-arylmethylidene-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydronaphthalen-1-one and malononitrile. However, if the temperature was increased to 80℃, 2-amino-3-cyano-4-aryl-4H-benzo[h]chromene derivatives were obtained in high yields. When the α,β-unsaturated ketones were replaced by 2,6-biarylmethylidenecyclohexanone or 2,5-biarylmethylidenecyclopentanone, another series of 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-pyran derivatives was isolated successfully. The structures of the products were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Photochromism of cis(z)-1,2-bispyrryl-substituted ethene derivatives

Photochromism of two bispyrryl-substituted ethenes, 2, 3-bis-(1-p-methoxyphenyl-5-phenyl-2-methyl-3-pyrryl)-2-butene (BPE1) and 2,3-bis(1-p-bromophenyl-4-phenyl-2-methyl-3-pyrryl)-2-butene (BPE2), was studied by laser flash photolysis technique. The results indicate that photocyclization of these compounds proceeds mainly via the excited triplet state, and the cis-trans isomerization proceeds mainly via the excited singlet state. After UV laser pulse irradiation, both photocylization and cis-trans isomerization of BPEl occur, but photocydization is the main reaction. On the other hand, laser photolysis of BPE2 leads mainly to photocydization. The effects of the substituents on the photochromic mechanism are also discussed.
