Synthesis of naphthalene and indene precursors to naphthoic and indenoic acids

As part of ongoing research to investigate structural requirements for lactate dehydrogenase inhibition by highly substituted naphthoic and indenoic acids, certain naphthalene and indene precursors to those types of compounds are required. Described here are efficient preparations of 1-naphthoic acid precursors 6-benzyl-2,3-dimethoxy-1-propylnaphthalenes, including compounds with substituted benzyl groups and 7-benzyl-2,3-dimethoxy-1-propylnaphthalene. Also described are the syntheses of indenoic acid precursors 2-benzyl-5,6-dimethoxy-7-propyl-1H-indenes, including compounds with substituted benzyl groups. These compounds were made from the key intermediates 6,7-dimethoxy-5-propyl-1-tetralone, 6,7-dimethoxy-8-propyl-1-tetralone, and 5,6-dimethoxy-4-propyl-1-indanone.     

过渡金属离子置换钛酸纳米管的制备和光催化活性

TiO2纳米粉体和纳米膜材料在光催化降解大气和水中的污染物等方面具有广泛的应用[1]。近年来,以TiO2为原料与浓N aO H反应合成的钛酸纳米管具有比其原料TiO2更大的表面积和孔体积,且对丙烯有光催化氧化降解活性而备受关注[2]。以往在对TiO2纳米粉体和纳米膜材料在光催化研究中,人们发现由于光激发产生的电子与空穴的复合,导致光量子效率很低。为克服这个缺点,人们使用过渡金属离子掺杂等多种手段对TiO2进行改性[3]。但钛酸纳米管相类似的研究还未见报道。对钛酸纳米管的结构和组成的研究表明[4],此纳米管状物的组成是N axH2-xTi3O7,…     

Formation of Naphthoquinone Oxo-Pyridinium Inner Salts

When 2-chloro-3-(substitued phenoxy)naphthazarine (1) was treated with pyridine or substituted pyridine at elevated temperature, an unexpected reaction took place.

Synthesis of strontium substituted hydroxyapatite by solution combustion route

Hydroxyapatite is a versatile compound resembling natural bone mineral. HAP insinuates feasibility with substitution ensuing in its application in various fields. The properties of calcium and strontium are cognate and pose as a bone-seeking trace-element that accumulates in new trabecular bone. Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite, Ca₉.₅Sr_0.5(OH)₂(PO₄)₆, was synthesized using citric acid as fuel and calcined 900 ​°C. The as-prepared product notably was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier - Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope along with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy. FT-IR analysis exhibited stretching and bending vibrations of (PO₄)^3- and OH⁻ groups along without any signal of carbonate group. Studies showed that product formed is strontium substituted hydroxyapatite, and calcination temperature plays an essential role in the formation of hydroxyapatite phase. The precursors when calcined resulted in 46–50 ​nm of Sr substituted hydroxyapatite.     

Strategies for the Total Synthesis of Clavicipitic Acid

Clavicipitic acid is an ergot alkaloid, which was isolated from Claviceps strain and Claviceps fusiformis. Its unique tricyclic azepinoindole skeleton has attracted synthetic chemists, and various strategies have been developed for its total synthesis. These strategies can be generally categorized into two types based on the synthetic intermediates, namely, 4‐substituted gramine derivatives and 4‐substituted tryptophan derivatives. This Minireview summarizes the reported total syntheses from the point of these two key intermediates

Supramolecular complex formation of β-cyclodextrin polymer with substituted salicylic acid or 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and their electrorheological behaviors

According to the chemical design, electrorheological properties of supramolecular complex from β-cyclodextrin polymer (β -CDP) were discussed. Six supramolecular complexes of β-cyclodextrin polymer with substituted salicylic acid and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid were synthesized by the solid-phase self-assembly method, and their component and structure were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis and the fluorescence analysis. Then the electrorheological properties of their suspensions in silicone oil were investigated under DC electric fields. It was found that the yield stresses of these supramolecular complex ER fluids were 7.3–9.8 kPa at 4 kV/mm in DC electric field, which were enhanced by 34%–72% compared with that of pure β-CDP. Among them, that of β-CDP/3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid ER fluid was the highest. It was also found that the ER effect of supramolecular complexes can be controlled by changing different guests. When the substituted group is at phenyl ring, ER behavior can be slightly adjusted by the different substituted groups, their number as well as their position at phenyl ring. This can be proved by the measurement of dielectric properties.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary α‐Amino Acids Enabled by the Versatility of the Phenylselenonyl Group

A novel Cinchona alkaloid‐catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of α‐alkyl substituted α‐nitroacetates to phenyl vinyl selenone was developed. The resulting enantio‐enriched α,α‐dialkyl substituted α‐nitroacetates were subsequently converted to various cyclic and acyclic quaternary α‐amino acids, taking advantage of the rich functionalities of the resulting Michael adducts. Novel protocols allowing chemoselective reduction of phenyl selenone to phenyl selenide and reduction of alkyl phenyl selenones to alkanes are also reported.     

Synthesis of aromatic poly(thioether ketone)

Aromatic poly(thioether ketone)s were prepared by the direct polycondensation of aromatic dicarboxylic acids with aryl compounds containing ether or sulfide structures using phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid (PPMA) as a condensing agent and solvent. Polycondensation proceeded smoothly and produced aromatic poly(thioether ketone)s with inherent viscosities up to 0.73 dL/g. The synthesis of substituted aryl ketones by the reaction of substituted benzoic acids with aryl compounds in PMMA was studied in detail to demonstrate the feasibility of the reaction for polymer formation. The thermogravimetry of the aromatic poly(thioether ketone)s showed a 10% weight loss in air and nitrogen at around 450 and 460°C, respectively. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

H2SO4 in dioxane. The compounds 2a—2c were prepared by condensation of 3β-substituted-5α-cholestan- 6-one-thiosemicarbazones 1a—1c with benzaldehyde. These thiosemicarbazones 1a—1c were obtained by the reaction of corresponding 3β-substituted-5α-cholestan-6-ones with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of few drops of conc. HCl in methanol. The structures of the products have been established on the basis of their elemental, analytical and spectral data.

NMR Characterization of Substituted Aromatic Poly (Ether Sulofone)s

Abstract

The synthesis of a variety of substituted bisphenol A polysulfones, including nitro, amino, aminomethyl, ethyl, and methyl derivatives, is described. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (both proton and carbon, and several 2-D experiments) data confirm conclusions on the substitution site based on arguments on inductive effects in the phenyl rings. The proton ortho to the oxygen in the bisphenol A (BPA) residue is replaced in electrophilic substitution reactions. The degree of substitution was also calculated from the NMR results. The ethyl and methyl derivatives were expected, from the starting reactants, to each have a BPA ring substituted. The NMR data showed that, on the average, this is true. The nitro derivative also has substitution in every BPA ring, while the amino and aminomethyl derivatives have only intermittent BPA rings substituted. Measured degrees of substitution (DS) varied from 0.11 to 2.25.
