Microwave-assisted reactions： Three-component process for the synthesis of 2-amino-2-chromenes under microwave heating

2-Amino-2-chromenes are class of heterocycles that posses considerable interest as pigments,cosmetics,potential agrochemicals and being the main constituents of many natural products.Although,they are generally prepared either under conventional heating,benign reagents or very recently,a three component condensation in poly-ethylene glycol-water in the presence of nanosized magnesium oxide,most of these methods require prolonged reaction time,reagents in stoichiometric amounts and generate moderate yield...

Microwave‐assisted synthesis and diels–alder reactions of 1,3‐azaphospholo[5,1‐a]isoquinolines

The application of microwave technique has been extended successfully for the first time to the synthesis of a representative class of azaphospholes, viz. 1,3‐bis(alkoxycarbonyl)‐1,3‐azaphospholo[5,1‐a]isoquinolines ( 2 ), which occurs rapidly giving higher yields. Stereoselectivity is observed in the reaction with 2,3‐dimethyl‐1,3‐butadiene, and isoprene reacts regioselectively as well. 1‐Methyl‐3‐ethoxycarbonyl‐1,3‐azaphospholo[1,5‐a]pyridine ( 4 ) remains inert toward [2+4] cycloaddition. The nonoccurrence of the Diels–Alder reaction in the latter case has been supported by semiempirical PM3 calculations. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Piperazine‐functionalized nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) nanoparticles were synthesized as recoverable heterogeneous base catalysts using a routine method.

Moreover, the catalyst was recovered easily using an external magnet and reused three times without distinctive loss in catalytic activity.     

Synthesis of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline by Raschig process: Kinetics of the oxidation of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline by chloramine

The synthesis of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline by the Raschig process was undertaken in aqueous solution. The principal side reaction that occurs in the medium is the oxidation of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline formed by chloramine. To increase the yield of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline, its oxidation by chloramine was studied by GC and HPLC at various concentrations of reactants and for a pH interval ranging between 9.9 and 13.5. The reaction is bimolecular and exhibits a specific acid catalysis. In alkaline medium, 1‐amino‐2‐methylindole is the principal product. The enthalpy and entropy of activation were determined at pH 12.89. In unbuffered solution, the interaction was autocatalyzed by the ammonium ions formed, which indicates a competitive oxidation of neutral and ionic forms of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline by chloramine. A mathematical treatment based on one implicit equation allows a quantitative interpretation of all the phenomena observed over the above pH interval. It takes both acid–base dissociation equilibrium and alkaline hydrolysis of chloramine into account. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 515–523, 2002     

Synthesis of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline by Raschig process: Parallel reactions,modeling, and optimization

The reaction between chloramine and 2‐methylindoline was studied at pH 12.89, T = 40°C, and for different initial concentrations of reactants. The interaction includes two concurrent bimolecular mechanisms leading to 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline and 2‐methylindole. The rate laws were determined at the first moments of the reaction by using a differential method. By considering the totality of the reactions that occur in the medium, an appropriate mathematical model was developed. It permits to follow the evolution of the system over time and to calculate the final yields of reaction products. An optimization in terms of the initial contents of 2‐methylindoline and chloramine was performed. It indicated that the maximum yield of 1‐amino‐2‐methylindoline does not exceed 56%. The results show the limit of the Raschig process for the synthesis of indolic hydrazines in aqueous medium. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 575–584, 2002

Amphiphilic gradient copolymers containing fluorinated 2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazolines: Microwave‐assisted one‐pot synthesis and self‐assembly in water

Here, we present the one‐step synthesis of 2‐(m‐difluorophenyl)‐2‐oxazoline and its use as a monomer for microwave‐assisted statistical cationic ring‐opening copolymerizations (CROP). Well‐defined amphiphilic gradient copolymers, as evidenced by the polymerization kinetics, were prepared using 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline as comonomer and methyl tosylate as initiator in nitromethane at 140 °C. The resulting gradient copolymers (DP = 60 and 100) were characterized by means of size exclusion chromatography and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. In the second part, we focus on a detailed study of the self‐assembly of the copolymers in aqueous solution using atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Both methods revealed the self‐assembly of the gradient copolymers into spherical micelles. To quantify the influence of the fluorine atoms and the monomer distribution on the self‐assembly, a comparative study with gradient copolymers of 2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline was performed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microwave‐assisted polycondensation of 4‐octylaniline with dibromoarylene

The Pd‐catalyzed polycondensation of 4‐octylaniline with various dibromoarylenes was carried out under microwave heating. Microwave heating led to a decrease in the reaction time and an increase in the molecular weight of the polymers as compared to conventional heating. Microwave heating also allowed the catalyst loading to be reduced to 1 mol %, yielding polymerization results that were comparable to those under conventional heating and 5 mol % catalyst. Investigations regarding field‐effect transistors and organic photovoltaic cells using the obtained poly(arylamine) with azobenzene units revealed that increasing the molecular weight of the polymer led to improved device performance, including hole mobility and power conversion efficiency. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The results showed that the use of TBBDA along with the MNPs@SiO₂‐Pr‐AP gains the highest yields of the products in the shortest reaction time.
