Theoretical and spectroscopic study of 2-substituted indan-1,3-diones: a coherent picture of the tautomeric equilibrium

The structures of some 2-substituted indan-1,3-diones are investigated in the gas phase and solution using quantum chemical calculations and spectral (NMR, IR, and UV) measurements. The influence of the substituent at the 2-position on the tautomeric equilibrium of 2-substituted indan-1,3-diones in solvents with different polarity is evaluated. It is shown that the equilibrium in 2-formyl-indan-1,3-dione and 2-acetyl-indan-1,3-dione is shifted to the 2-hydroxyalkylidene-indan-1,3-dione tautomer, while 2-carboxyamide-indan-1,3-dione exists as a mixture of two tautomers, 2-(hydroxyaminomethylidene)-indan-1,3-dione and 2-carboamide-1-hydroxy-3-oxo-indan, with extremely fast proton transfer between them. The situation for 2-carboxy-indan-1,3-dione is quite different - on the basis of the analysis of the obtained results, the possible existence of an anionic form of 2-carboxy-indan-1,3-dione in solution can be inferred.     

1,3-Butanediol as a co-solvent for the surfactant solutions

A biphasic solution containing water and precipitated phosphocholine (PC) is presented in order to investigate the consequences of 1,3-butanediol addition on the phase behavior of PC at different 1,3-butanediol concentrations and temperature values. With increasing the concentration of 1,3-butanediol in the mixed solvent at room temperature, the biphasic solution converts into turbid phase, two phase, and finally to a clear phase that is birefringent when viewed between two crossed polarizers. The birefringent phase moves to lower 1,3-butanediol contents at higher temperature values. The birefringent phase was observed via polarizing microscopy, and its rheological parameters were measured with cone plate method. In high 1,3-butanediol contents, solutions with 2.5% of PC behave as a gel with high yield stress value. The micellization of cetyltrimethyammonium bromide (CTAB) in a series of 1,3-butanediol/water mixed solvent at room temperature was also investigated. From the conductivity measurements, the critical micelle concentration and the degree of counterion dissociation of CTAB were obtained as a function of 1,3-butanediol. Standard free energy of micellization, as a function of 1,3-butanediol contents, was also estimated and discussed. Gibbs energies of micellization were found to have a good correlation with dielectric constant and Gordon parameters.     

沸石咪唑酯骨架结构材料ZIF-71用于低浓度生物基2，3-丁二醇/1，3-丙二醇的吸附分离性能

1,3-丙二醇是一种重要的化工原料,生物发酵法生产1,3-丙二醇往往会产生副产物2,3-丁二醇,限制了生物基1,3-丙二醇的进一步工业化应用。1,3-丙二醇与2,3-丁二醇亲水性强,导致其在低浓度发酵液中分离困难。基于2,3-丁二醇比1,3-丙二醇具有长的碳链和大的极化率,本文采用含有―Cl基团（憎水且具有大的极化率）的ZIF-71吸附分离水中低浓度的2,3-丁二醇/1,3-丙二醇。结果表明,ZIF-71对双组分2,3-丁二醇/1,3-丙二醇（50 g/L,50 g/L）中2,3-丁二醇的静态竞争吸附容量为123.6 mg/g,对2,3-丁二醇/1,3-丙二醇分离选择性高达7.6,分离效果优于沸石材料Beta。在3次循环吸附-解吸实验中ZIF-71依旧保持着稳定的结构和对2,3-丁二醇的选择性吸附能力。通过分子模拟,揭示了ZIF-71对1,3-丙二醇和2,3-丁二醇的吸附分离机制。ZIF-71与1,3-丙二醇之间主要通过弱的范德华力作用;而ZIF-71与2,3-丁二醇之间则是通过强的范德华力与弱的氢键协同作用,从而对2,3-丁二醇产生选择性吸附。可以看出, ZIFs材料有望成为选择性吸附分离低浓度副产物2,3-丁二醇的吸附剂,推动生物法制1,3-丙二醇的工业化发展。     

Volumetric Properties of Aqueous Binary Mixtures of 1-Butanol,Butanediols, 1,2,4-Butanetriol and Butanetetrol at 298.15 K

Excess molar volumes, V _m ^E, and partial molar volumes, ↕ ₂, have been determined for dilute aqueous solutions of 1-butanol, 1,2-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2,4-butanetriol and 1,2,3,4-butanetetrol (erythritol) at 298.15 K, as a function of composition from density measurements. The limiting partial molar volumes, ↕ ₂∞, of alcohols in aqueous solution are evaluated through extrapolation. Interactions of the different solutes with water are discussed in terms of the relationship among polar and non-polar groups on water structure and the effect of the position of hydroxyl groups in the molecule.     

Effect of Added Salts or Polyols on the Cloud Point and the Liquid-Crystalline Structures of Polyoxyethylene-Modified Silicone

The effect of added salts (NaCl, Na(2)SO(4), and NaSCN) or polyols (glycerin (Gly), 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BD), ethylene glycol (EG), and polyethylene glycol (PEG400)) on the hexagonal liquid-crystalline structure of polyoxyethylene-modified silicone was investigated by means of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The effective cross-sectional area of the lipophilic part of the aggregate, a(s), in the hexagonal phase decreases upon the addition of salts, on one hand, lowering the cloud point in the dilute aqueous siloxane surfactant solutions. On the other hand, if added salt raises the cloud point, the a(s) increases. Similar results were obtained in the case of the addition of polyols. Since the a(s) mainly depends on the EO chain length, the above results are direct evidence that the hydration or dehydration of the EO chain is affected by these additives. The static fluorescence probe method was applied to the Gly and 1,3-BD systems using 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid, ANS, to know the change in hydration of the EO chains. In the Gly system, the hydration of the EO chain monotonically decreases whereas 1,3-BD first increases the hydration and then decreases it at high 1,3-BD content. These results are very consistent with the SAXS and cloud temperature results. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XV. Butanediols(aq) at temperatures from (298 K to 573 K) and at pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of three butanediols (1,3-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol) are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at temperatures from 298.15 K up to 573.15 K and at pressures close to the saturated vapour pressure of water, at pressures close to 20 MPa and 30 MPa. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter.     

In Situ FT-IR Studies of the Zirconium (IV) Acetylacetonate Catalyzed Urethane Reaction of Butanediols

A comparative kinetic study of the urethane reactions of phenyl isocyanate and 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-butanediol was carried out in dichloromethane solution with zirconium (IV) acetylacetonate as catalyst. In situ FT-IR was used to follow the kinetics of the reactions at a constant temperature of 15°–30°C. The rate constants for the reaction of the primary hydroxyl group and the secondary hydroxyl group were calculated as k _prim and k _sec, respectively. Analysis of the second-order rate constants of these systems indicated that k _prim follows 1,2-butanediol >1,3-butanediol >1,4-butanediol. The ratio of k _prim/k _sec in 1,2-butanediol was the highest and the order followed was the same as with the reaction rate. Activation energies and Eyring parameters were also determined for the urethane reaction of butanediols.     

Kinetics and mechanism of tetrahydrofuran synthesis via 1,4-butanediol dehydration in high-temperature water

We conducted an experimental investigation into the kinetics and mechanism of tetrahydrofuran synthesis from 1,4-butanediol via dehydration in high-temperature liquid water (HTW) without added catalyst at 200-350 degrees C. The reaction was reversible, with tetrahydrofuran being produced at an equilibrium yield of 84% (at 200 degrees C) to 94% (at 350 degrees C). The addition of CO2 to the reaction mixture increased the reaction rate by a factor of 1.9-2.9, because of the increase in acidity resulting from the formation and dissociation of carbonic acid. This increase was much less than that expected (factor of 37-60) from a previously suggested acid-catalyzed mechanism. This disagreement prompted experiments with added acid (HCl) and base (NaOH) to investigate the influence of pH on the reaction rate. These experiments revealed three distinct regions of pH dependence. At high and low pH, the dehydration rate increased with increasing acidity. At near-neutral pH, however, the rate was essentially insensitive to changes in pH. This behavior is consistent with a mechanism where H2O, in addition to H+, serves as a proton donor. This work indicates that the relatively high native concentration of + (large KW), which has commonly been thought to lead to the occurrence of acid-catalyzed reactions in HTW without added catalyst, does not explain the dehydration of 1,4-butanediol in HTW without catalyst. Rather, H2O serves directly as the proton donor for the reaction.     

Asymmetric synthesis via acetal templates. 15. The preparation of enantiomerically pure mevinolin analogs

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of the hydroxylactone moiety of mevinolin 1 is described. The key step is the TiCl₄-catalyzed coupling reaction of acetals 3a and 3b derived from (R)-1,3-butanediol with 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1-methoxybuta-1,3-diene 4 to give the δ-alkoxy-β-keto ester 5.     

Acrylate ester-based monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography separation of triacylglycerols in vegetable oils

A simple and reliable method for the evaluation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in vegetable oils by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with UV-Vis detection, using octadecyl acrylate (ODA) ester-based monolithic columns, has been developed. The percentages of the porogenic solvents in the polymerization mixture, and the mobile phase composition, were optimized. The optimum monolith was obtained at the following ratios: 40:60% (wt/wt) monomers/porogens, 60:40% (wt/wt) ODA/1,3-butanediol diacrylate and 23:77% (wt/wt) 1,4-butanediol/1-propanol (14 wt% 1,4-butanediol in the polymerization mixture). A satisfactory resolution between TAGs was achieved in less than 12 min with a 65:35 (v/v) acetonitrile/2-propanol mixture containing 5 mM ammonium acetate. The method was applied to the analysis of TAGs of vegetable oil samples. Using linear discriminant analysis of the CEC TAG profiles, the vegetable oils belonging to six different botanical origins (corn, extra virgin olive, hazelnut, peanut, soybean and sunflower) were correctly classified with an excellent resolution among all the categories.     

Structural analysis of diols by electrospray mass spectrometry on boric acid complexes

A method is presented to characterize diols using negative ion electrospray (ES) mass spectrometry in combination with collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The analyte diol is added to a solution containing an ethylene glycol/boric acid [2:1] complex and then subjected to infusion ES. The following boric acid complexes are formed: (i) a complex with two ethylene glycol molecules, (ii) a mixed ethylene glycol/analyte complex, and (iii) a complex with two analyte molecules. The first complex serves as a reference for the assessment of the extent of complex formation with the analyte. The ES mass spectra of acyclic vicinal diols all feature intense mixed complex signals, indicative of efficient complex formation. Chemical fine tuning is achieved by MS/MS experiments. Thus, although the (2R,3R)-(-)-2,3-butanediol and meso-2,3-butanediol stereo-isomers show the same complexation efficiency, MS/MS experiments reveal pronounced structure characteristic differences. By contrast, 1,3- and 1,4-diols are less prone to complex formation as they give only weak signals relative to the reference. For cyclic vicinal diols only the cis isomer produces an intense mixed complex, whose MS/MS spectrum is characteristically different from that of the trans form. The above procedure does not permit an unambiguous differentiation of acyclic polyhydroxy compounds like mannitol and sorbitol. However, structurally related methyl glycosides show characteristic MS/MS spectra. Our findings indicate that the above simple procedure may be useful to probe the presence and structure of diols and other polyols in aqueous solutions. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of (-)-epibatidine and its derivatives from chiral allene-1,3-dicarboxylate esters

(-)-Epibatidine, an excellent candidate of non-opioidal anesthesia, was formally synthesized in short steps from di-(l)-menthyl (R)-allene-1,3-dicarboxylate that was facilely prepared as a single isomer by means of crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation from a diastereomer mixture of (R)- and (S)-allene-1,3-dicarboxylates. Taking advantage of the chiral synthesis, derivatives of (-)-epibatidine were also prepared for targeting diagnostic agents that could bind nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the mammalian central nerve system.     

Dielectric properties of binary mixtures of three butanediols with 1,4-dioxane and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol at T = 298.2 K

Experimental results of dielectric investigations for solutions of the three butanediols {2,3-butanediol (2,3BD), 1,3-butanediol (1,3BD), and 1,4-butanediol (1,4BD)}, in 1,4-dioxane (1,4DX) are reported for various mole fractions at T = 298.2 K. Values of relative permittivity were measured at 100 kHz. The molecular dipole moments were determined using Guggenheim method. The variations of effective dipole moment and correlation factor, g, with mole fraction in these materials were investigated using Kirkwood–Frohlich equation. Dielectric measurements were also carried out on binary polar mixtures of the butanediols with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2EH) for various concentrations at T = 298.2 K. The Kirkwood correlation factor, the Bruggeman factor, and the excess permittivity were determined.     

Prediction of shear viscosities using periodic perturbation method and OPLS force field

The periodic perturbation method is applied to predict shear viscosities of liquid 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and 1,2,4-butanetriol under two thermodynamical conditions: T = 373 K, P = 0.1 MPa and T = 373 K, P = 250 MPa. A linear dependence of the calculated shear viscosities with respect to the applied perturbation forces is identified. Based on this finding, extrapolation of the calculated viscosities to zero perturbation force is applied to estimate the shear viscosities for the “undisturbed” fluids. The uncertainties of the estimates are calculated using the block average method. The predicted values compare favorably with the experimental data. Although the force field is optimized using equilibrium properties (liquid densities and vaporization enthalpies), calculated results demonstrate that the force field can be used to predict the kinetic properties accurately. The force field parameters are well transferable among different state points. However, transferring parameters among different molecules should be executed with caution.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Two-dimensional Coordination Polymer [Cd（dym）（H2O）2（H2O）]n with Cd6 Hexagonal Macrometallocycle

1 INTRODUCTION The investigation of coordination polymers has rapidly been expanded in last decade owing to their potential applications such as catalysis, molecular absorption, non-linear and magnetic materials. Among the varieties of such coordination polymers, the po- lymers of cadmium with dicarboxylates having fas- cinating structural topologies and good photolumi- nescence constitute a new family. Many reports are concerned about cadmium dicarboxylate polymers with 1D helix structu…     

Novel metal complexes containing a chiral trinitrogen isoindoline-based pincer ligand: in situ synthesis and structural characterization

The first synthesis and characterization of metal coordinated complexes containing in situ prepared chiral trinitrogen 1,3-bis(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-ylimino)isoindoline-based pincer ligands are reported. Two zinc complexes, isolated as Zn(L)(2), where L = 1,3-bis(4,5-dihydro-4-(R)-phenyloxazol-2-ylimino)isoindoline ((R,R)-5) or 1,3-bis(4,5-dihydro-4-(S)-iso-propyloxazol-2-ylimino)isoindoline ((S,S)-6), respectively, are reported. Complexes Zn((R,R)-5)(2) and Zn((S,S)-6)(2) were prepared in situ through the condensation of phthalonitrile with enantiopure 2-amino-4-(R)-phenyloxazoline ((R)-3) or 2-amino-4-(S)-iso-propyloxazoline ((S)-4) in the presence of ZnCl(2) at 80 °C in dry toluene over 3-4 days. The characterizations of Zn((R,R)-5)(2) and Zn((S,S)-6)(2) in both the solid (X-ray crystallography) and solution (multinuclear NMR spectroscopy) states are reported.     

Diastereoselective cycloadditions of 1,3-thiazolium-4-olates with chiral 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes

A series of 2-(N-methyl)benzylamino-1,3-thiazolium-4-olates (2-aminothioisomunchnones) react with chiral 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes derived from carbohydrates to afford a diastereomeric mixture of (4R,5S)- and (4R,5R)-4,5-dihydrothiophenes. These substrate-controlled cycloadditions are chemoselective, regiospecific, and proceed with a high facial diastereoselection. A theoretical rationale at semiempirical level does justify the stereochemical outcome observed in the experiments.     

手性柱分离气相色谱法测定辐照酒中2,3-丁二醇异构体

建立了直接测定辐照酒中2,3-丁二醇3种异构体:(2S,3S)-(+)-丁二醇(d-BT)、(2R,3R)-(-)-丁二醇(l-BT)以及meso-(R,S)-丁二醇(meso-BT)的手性柱分离气相色谱法。葡萄酒中的2,3-丁二醇采用乙酸乙酯和甲醇的混合溶液(4∶1)振荡提取,石墨化碳黑柱固相萃取净化提取液,经Varian CP-Chirasil-DEX CB手性毛细管柱分离后,以氢火焰检测器检测,外标法定量。d-BT、l-BT和meso-BT分别在10～75、60～300、20～100 mg/L范围内呈线性关系,相关系数分别为0.999 1、0.999 6和0.999 9。3种异构体在葡萄酒中的加标回收率为90%～113%,相对标准偏差(n=6)为1.1%～7.2%;在白酒中的加标回收率为96%～99%,相对标准偏差(n=6)为1.7%～3.8%;方法检出限为1.0 mg/L。将该方法用于白酒样品和葡萄酒样品辐照前后(剂量为10 kGy)d-BT、l-BT、meso-BT含量的测定。结果表明,白酒样品辐照后产生了d-BT,而葡萄酒则无此变化。这为鉴定白酒是否经过辐照提供了依据。     

Richness of isomerism in labile octahedral Werner-type cobalt(II) complexes demonstrated by 19F NMR spectroscopy: structure and stability

The cobalt(II) complexes [CoL2(R2-Py)2] (1-4) where HLA = 1,1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexanedione, R2-Py = 4-methylpyridine (1), HLB = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione, R2-Py = 4-methylpyridine (2), 4-phenylpyridine (3) and S-(-)-1-(4-pyridyl)ethanol (4) were prepared by two-step reactions. X-ray structure analysis of [CoLA2(CH3-Py)2] revealed the {trans(N)-trans(CF3)-trans} configuration for the complex obtained by crystallization from ethanol. A dynamic equilibrium between the five possible stereoisomers was observed for each complex 1-4 in solution by 19F NMR spectroscopy. The criteria used for full NMR assignment (180-265 K) include comparison of integral ratios, cis(N) and trans(N) differentiation in presence of the chiral amine [S-(-)-1-(4-pyridyl)ethanol], effect of solvent polarity on the relative stabilities of the five isomers and observation of trans influences in a mixture of complexes. Thermodynamic parameters for the equilibria between the isomers of 2 in CD2Cl2 (DeltaHi,j, DeltaSi,j and Ki,j) were obtained from signal integrals. The two trans(N) isomers are slightly more stable than the three cis(N) isomers at low temperature [DeltaGdegreesi,j (max) = 2.8 kJ mol(-1) at 179.8 K], but this stability difference almost vanishes with increasing temperature [DeltaGdegreesi,j (max) = 1.0 kJ mol(-1) at 265.0 K]. The values found for DeltaHdegreesi,j are relatively small and largely entropy compensated.     

Coupling of Bis(xylylisocyanide) Palladium(II) Complex with 1,2,4-Thiadiazole-5-amines

The coupling of bis(xylylisocyanide) complex of Pd(II) with 1,2,4-thiadiazole-5-amines leads to the formation of an equilibrium mixture of the binuclear complexes. In each of the studied cases, one of the formed complexes is the kinetic product, and the other one is the thermodynamic product. The complexes which are thermodynamic products have been isolated in the pure form and characterized by means of high-resolution mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. NMR study of the regioisomerization in a solution has revealed that the relative stability of the thermodynamic products in comparison with the kinetic ones is higher than for the corresponding regioisomers containing 1,3-thiazole or 1,3,4- thiadiazole fragment.
