Synthesis, characterization and photovoltaic properties of platinum-containing poly(aryleneethynylene) polymers with phenanthrenyl-imidazole moiety

A new type of soluble, solution-processable platinum(II) polyyne polymers based on phenanthrenyl-imidazole chromophore and their corresponding diplatinum model complexes were synthesized via the CuI-catalyzed dehydrohalogenation reaction of the platinum(II) chloride precursor and each of the diethynyl ligands.

Synthesis,molecular conformation,vibrational, electronic transition,and chemical shift assignments of 4-(thiophene-3-ylmethoxy)phthalonitrile: a combined experimental and theoretical analysis

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound, 4-(thiophene-3-ylmethoxy)phthalonitrile (TMP). The spectroscopic properties of the compound were examined by FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR, and UV techniques. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra in solid state were observed in the region 4000–400 cm⁻¹ and 3500–50 cm⁻¹, respectively. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl₃ solution. The UV absorption spectrum of the compound that dissolved in THF was recorded in the range of 200–800 nm. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational wavenumbers were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental results and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shifts (¹³C NMR and ¹H NMR) were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, were performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. The HOMO and LUMO analyses have been used to elucidate information regarding charge transfer within the molecule. Comparison of the calculated frequencies, NMR chemical shifts, absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT method produces good results.

Synthesis of analogues of (E)-1-hydroxy-2-methylbut-2-enyl 4-diphosphate, an isoprenoid precursor and human gamma delta T cell activator

(E)-1-Hydroxy-2-methyl-but-2-enyl 4-diphosphate (HMBPP) is an intermediate in the non-mevalonate pathway for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and also serves as a very strong activator of human gamma delta T cells expressing Vgamma9Vdelta2 receptors. This paper describes the synthesis of analogues of HMBPP, in which the diphosphate group is replaced by potential isosteric moieties, i.e., carbamate, N-acyl-N'-oxy sulfamate, or aminosulfonyl carbamate functionalities. The potential of the synthesized analogues to stimulate Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cell response or to inhibit GcpE and LytB, the last enzymes in the non-mevalonate pathway, was assessed.

Synthesis of Ethyl (2RS,3SR)-1-Tosyl-3-Vinylazetidine-2-carboxylate and ethyl (2RS,E)-3-ethylidene-1-tosylazetidine-2-carboxylate (=rac-ethyl N-tosylpolyximate)

The synthesis of 3-ethylideneazetidine-2-carboxylic acid (=polyoximic acid; 3 ) is a approached in two different ways leading to potential precursors of 3 . The first way involved a ring closure to a vinyl-subsatituted azetidin. Thus, Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of the Boc-glycinates 6 and 10 of (Z)- and (E)-2-butene-1,4-diol afforded, after exchange of the N-protecting groups, the isomeric 2-(tosylamino)-3-vinylbutanolides 13 and 14 with high stereoselectivity. Only the cis-isomer 14 could be further transformed to 3-(bromomethyl)-2-(tosylamino)-4-pentenoate 17 , and in a smoth cyclization with K₂CO₃, to trans-3-vinylazetidtene-2-carboxylaze 18 (Scheme 2). In the second approach, the 3-ethylidene isomer 19 of 18 was obtained more directly by a [2+2] cycloaddition, together with the two isomers 23 and 24 , from methlallene 20 and (tosyliminno)acetate 21 (Scheme 3). The main product of this reaction was, however, 2-(tosylamino)-4-hexinoate 22 , the product of an ene reaction.

Polyacrylamides possessing an amino group at the terminus of the branch chain as the potential site for amino acid and/or nucleic acid base grafting have been prepared. This type of polyacrylamide would provide a substantial spacing distance between the polymer main chain and pendant groups. Poly(2-amino-2-methylpropyl)acrylamide (PDMPA) and optically active poly(2-amino-2-methylbutyl)acrylamide (PDMBA) were characterized using vapor phase osmometry (VPO), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and dilute solution viscometry. In addition, copolymers of poly(2-amino-2-methylpropyl)acrylamide with N-vinylpyrrolidinone, N-vinylimidazole, and H(5)-vinylimidazole, were prepared.
