Studies on the mechanism of decomposition of 1-methyl-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl hydroperoxides to 2-(1-naphthyloxy)propenes

Abstract  

Thermal decomposition of 1-methyl-1-(4-methyl-1-naphthyl)ethyl hydroperoxide under gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) conditions gives 2-((4-methyl-1-naphthyl)oxy)propene as the main product (50.5%), without any detectable traces of the isomeric 2-((5-methyl-1-naphthyl)oxy)propene. This finding excludes the rearrangement pathway of 1-methyl-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl hydroperoxides to the corresponding 2-(1-naphthyloxy)propenes, which involves formation of a naphthofuran derivative as an intermediate and transfer of the isopropenyloxy group to the 8 position. This result, as well as our previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations, points to the rearrangement pathway involving an oxirane-type intermediate as the most plausible pathway to 2-(1-naphthyloxy)propenes. This rearrangement is responsible for the unusual inhibition effects of 1-methyl-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl hydroperoxide on the liquid-phase oxidation of isopropylarenes with oxygen.

FTIR Studies on NO Adsorption on [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5

IntroductionThe FTIR spectroscopy of NO adsorption on[Co +Mg(Sr) ]/ZSM- 5 has not been fullyelucidated yet.Previous researchers working onNO adsorption over Co/ZSM- 5 stated that thebands at 1 81 0 and 1 890 cm-1are due to dinitrosylspecies adsorbed on Co2 +[1] ,while the band at193 5 cm-1is attributable to mononitrosyl species.Aband near1 85 8cm-1(w) may be attributable tothe species of Co3O4 —NO[2 ] .Further,Zhu etal.[2 ]reported the bands at1 81 3 ,1 896 and1 93 9cm-1assigned to …     

Synthesis of dialkyl(1-allyl-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-yl)-and dialkyl(1-allyl-3-alkenylprop-2-yn-1-yl)amines by the stevens rearrangement

The Stevens rearrangement of dialkyl(allyl)(3-arylprop-2-yn-1-yl)-and dialkyl(allyl)(3-alkenyl-prop-2-yn-1-yl)ammonium bromides gave dialkyl(1-allyl-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-yl)-and dialkyl(1-allyl-3-alkenyl-prop-2-yn-1-yl)amines. Here, the allyl group acts as migrating group, and 3-aryl-or 3-alkenylprop-2-yn-1-yl, as receiving one. The yields of the Stevens rearrangement products fall down as the alkyl chain becomes longer, as well as with introduction of a methyl group into the meta or para position of the aromatic ring.     

An artificial molecular chaperone: poly-pseudo-rotaxane with an extensible axle

Poly-pseudo-rotaxanes CDs contains as a subset 1 (CDs; cyclodextrins, 1; poly(delta-valerolactone) having single beta-CD at the end of the polymer chain) initiate polymerization of delta-valerolactone (delta-VL) in the solid state when CDs (alpha-CD, beta-CD, and 2,6-di-O-methyl-beta-CD) are threaded onto the polymer chain. 1 without threaded CDs did not show any polymerization ability for delta-VL. An adamantane molecule (Ad) inhibited the polymerization ability of CDs contains as a subset 1 for delta-VL, indicating that beta-CD at the end of CDs contains as a subset 1 could not bind delta-VL because the beta-CD cavity was occupied by Ad. It should be noted that the insertion reaction and the polymerization took place inside the beta-CD cavity at the end of CDs contains as a subset 1 and that the formation of poly-pseudo-rotaxane is necessary for the initiation of delta-VL. The structures of beta-CD contains as a subset 1 and 1 were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction measurements and solid-state NMR spectroscopies. The polymer chain of beta-CD contains as a subset 1 was found to elongate in the solid state, whereas the polymer chain of 1 formed a random coil conformation. 1 was deactivated for the polymerization by blocking the active cavity of beta-CD with the polymer chain. CDs threaded onto 1 are immune to the initiation of delta-VL directly but have an essential role to fold the polymer chain in a proper way as an artificial chaperone.     

Experimental Investigations on Highly Conducting Solid Bio-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Latex of Calotropis gigantea Plant

The study has prepared highly conducting polymer electrolyte films using solution cast technique with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) PVDF-HFP, mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC), and propylene carbonate (PC) as plasticizer and latex of Calotropis gigantea (CGL) as an ionic source. In this study, four films are prepared using PVDF-HFP:CGL in ratio 1:1 with the increasing concentration of EC+PC as 1, 2, 3, and 4 M named as 1:1:1, 1:1:2, 1:1:3, 1:1:4. The prepared polymer electrolyte is examined by polarized optical microscopy (POM), elemental dispersive X-ray technique (EDX), and complex impedance spectroscopy. EDX and POM are studied for the surface morphology of all prepared samples and to investigate the porous nature of films. The enhancement in ionic conductivity occurs due to CGL and increasing amount of EC-PC. Conductivity of highest composition (1:1:4) polymer electrolyte film is found to be ≈10⁻³ S cm⁻¹. The optimized polymer electrolyte film is considered as a promising candidate for application in supercapacitors.     

Synthesis and properties of MQ resins with phenyl groups in monofunctional units

MQ resins have been prepared in acetic acid as an active medium from dimethylphenyl- or methyldiphenylethoxy-silane as the M-components and tetraethoxysilane as the Q-component. All prepared samples with M/Q ratios of 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 were well soluble in organic solvents like toluene and THF. Compared to MQ resins with trimethylsilyl group as the M-component, the new MQ resins with phenyl substituents may possess improved compatibility to thermoplastic polymers, rubbers and coating formulations.     

Preparation of (Z)-1-fluoro-1-alkenyl carboxylates,carbonates and carbamates through chromium mediated transformation of dibromofluoromethylcarbinyl esters and the reactivity as double acyl group donors

CrCl₂/Mn-mediated transformation of various dibromofluoromethylcarbinyl esters including carboxylates, carbonates and carbamates provided 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters via [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of ester group. Reaction proceeded by using CrCl₂/Mn system under mild conditions (in THF at room temperature) to give 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters in good yield with an excellent Z selective manner. 1-Fluoro-1-alkenyl ester thus obtained acts as a double acyl donor in the reaction with necleophiles such as amine, thiol, alcohol as well as bifunctional necleophiles such as ethylene diamine derivative.     

Solvation and Conformational Effects in Heterolysis of 1-Methylcycloalkyl Halides

In the series of substrates 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane, 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclopentane, 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane, the heterolysis rate in acetone at 25 °C is reduced by four orders of magnitude; v = k[RX], E1 mechanism. The decrease in reaction rate as we go from a cyclopentyl compound to a cyclohexyl compound is due to the decrease in entropy of activation as a result of rapid solvation of the transition state as the conformational barrier is overcome.     

1-Methylcycloprop-2-ene-1-carbonitrile in tandem alder-ene and diels-alder reactions

The reactions of 1-methylcycloprop-2-ene-1-carbonitrile with cyclohexa-1,4-diene and alloocimene gave the corresponding 2:1 addition products as a result of consecutive (conjugate) Alder-ene and Diels-Alder reactions. 1-Methylcycloprop-2-ene-1-carbonitrile acts initially as enophile, and in the second step, as dieno- phile. The structure of the adducts was determined by X-ray analysis.     

Regioselective enzymatic glycosylation of natural polyhydroxylated compounds: galactosylation and glucosylation of protopanaxatriol ginsenosides.

Ginsenoside Rg1 (1), the most representative Ginsenoside from Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer belonging to the protopanaxatriol family, has been galactosylated by action of the beta-(1,4)-galactosyltransferase (GalT) from bovine colostrum, using UDP-galactose as an activated sugar donor. The enzyme showed the well-known specificity for the formation of a beta-linkage with the C-4 OH of the glucose acceptor, but it was not able to discriminate between the two glucose moieties of 1, giving a mixture of mono- and digalactosylated derivatives. Other natural Rg1-analogues such as F1, Rh1, Re, as well as the synthetic derivative 6'-O-acetyl-Rg1 have been also galactosylated, giving monolactosyl derivatives. GalT was also able to accept UDP-glucose as an activated sugar donor, giving rise to cellobiosyl derivatives of Rg1.

Eleven phenazines were identified as fermentation products of a bacterium. They included the previously unknown 2,9-dihydroxyphenazine-1-carboxyIic acid ( 4 ), 1,8-phenazinediol-1()-oxide ( 5 ) and 8-amino-1-phenazinol ( 6 ) as well as phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid ( 1 ),9-hydroxyphena-zine-1-carboxylic acid ( 2 ) and 1,8-phenazinediol ( 3 ) not isolated before from natural sources.     

The centrosomal localization of KM-HN-1 (MGC33607) depends on the leucine zipper motif and the C-terminal coiled-coil domain

KM-HN-1 is a C-terminal coiled-coil domain containing protein previously referred to as image clone MGC33607. This protein has been previously identified as a cancer/testis antigen and reported as nuclear and chromatin localizing protein. We raised polyclonal antisera with the GST fusion protein and identified them as a 105 kDa protein. Motif analysis showed that this protein harbors the leucine zipper motif in internal 1/3 region and the coiled-coil domain in the C-terminal region. Using the full length and various deletion mutants, we determined the motif that governs the subcellular localization of KM-HN-1. Immunofluorescence staining of the endogenous KM-HN-1 and various kinds of GFP-tagged KM-HN-1 revealed that KM-HN-1 localizes to the centrosomes as well as nucleus. The centrosomal localization-determining region of this protein is C-terminal coiled-coil domain in which the leucine zipper motif and the nuclear export signal (NES) harbor.     

NMR spectroscopic analysis of neferine and isoliensinine

Neferine and isoliensinine are the two major compositions of the Chinese medicine lotus plumule. They have extensive cardiovascular activity, such as antiarrhythmic, antithrombic and antihypertensive. In order to confirm the structures reported in the literature by explicit 1H and 13C assignments, we used a series of NMR experiments including 1H, 1H-COSY, HSQC and HMBC. The absolute configuration of neferine (C-1 and C-1') was determined as R and S and that of isoliensinine (C-1 and C-1') was determined as R and R.     

An Efficient Synthesis of Stable Sulfur-Containing Phosphoranes Derived from 1-Methylimidazole-2-thiol

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides are obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol. These sulfur-containing phosphoranes exist in solution as a mixture of two geometrical isomers as a result of restricted rotation around the carbon-carbon double bond resulting from conjugation of the ylide moiety with the adjacent carbonyl group. Using dibenzoylacetylene as Michael acceptor, yields 2-[1-methyl-1 H -imidazole-2-yl)sulfanyl]-1,4-diphenyl-butane-1,4-dione.

The interplay of iron(II) spin transition and polymorphism

The mononuclear compound (1) [Fe(II)(L)(2)](BF(4))(2) (L = 4-ethynyl-2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine) was prepared and structurally as well as magnetically characterised. The crystallisation revealed the formation of two polymorphs--the orthorhombic 1A and the tetragonal form 1B. A third, intermediate phase 1C was found exhibiting a different orthorhombic space group. Reversibility of the phase transition between 1A and 1C was studied by variable-temperature single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies, while an irreversible phase transition was observed for the transition of 1B→1C. The magnetic studies show that the 1A?1C transition is accompanied by a very abrupt spin transition (ST) with 8 K hysteresis width (T(1/2)(↓) = 337 K, T(1/2)(↑) = 345 K). The ST was confirmed by M?ssbauer spectroscopy as well as by DSC studies. In contrast, the 1B polymorph remained low-spin up to 420 K. In conclusion, a full cycle of intertwined phase- and spin-conversions of three polymorphs could be proven following the general scheme 1B→1C?1A.
