Novel reactivities of 2,2-dichloroimidazolidine-4,5-diones: synthesis of copper(I) diamidocarbene complex, 2-thioxo/selenoxoimidazolidine-4,5-dione,and 2,2-difluoroimidazolidine-4,5-dione

A new method for the in situ generation of five-membered diamidocarbenes (DACs 2) from 2,2-dichloroimidazolidine-4,5-diones is established by Cl/I exchange and elimination of iodine. The trapping of 2 with CuI, S, and Se provides a good route for the preparation of a dimeric (2a)CuI complex and 2-thioxo/selenoxoimidazolidine-4,5-diones, respectively. In contrast, Cl/F exchange is explored to yield exclusively 2,2-difluoroimidazolidine-4,5-diones.

Glucose Oxidase Electrode Based on Graphite and Methylthio Tetrathiafulvalene as Mediator

Abstract

A glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase and a new mediator - 4,5-dimethyl-4′-methylthio-Δ 2,2′-bi-1,3-dithiole (MTTTF) is described. The background for sensor action is the effective MTTTF cation interaction (apparent bimolecular constant (2.0+/-0.5)?10⁶ M^?1 s^?1 at 25°C and pH 7.0) with reduced glucose oxidase and the high electrochemical rate of mediator transformation.

A glucose sensor was prepared by adsorbing mediator (MTTTF) and glucose oxidase on graphite rods. The sensor responds to glucose at electrode potentials higher than 50 mV vs SCE, but the maximal activity is obtained at a potential of 250 mV. In air saturated solution the electrode shows a non-linear calibration curve with a half-saturation concentration 10.4 mM and Hill coefficient 2.08 at 250 mV. Sensor response changes little at pH 6.5–8.0. The energy of activation of the sensor response calculated from the Arrhenius equation was 64.5 kJ/mol, and the temperature coefficient at 25°C was 9.2%.     

Synthesis of polyfluorophenyl substituted-4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imine with ethyl acrylate

Oxidation of aldehyde 4-chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenylhydrazones (1) with [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene leads to the formation of nitrile imines (2) which reacted in situ with ethyl acrylate to produce 3-substituted-1-(4-chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)-5-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles (3) in moderate to good yields. The structures of new compounds were fully confirmed by their spectral data, elemental analyses and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A plausible reaction mechanism for the synthesis of title compounds is presented.     

Free volume characteristics of 2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene copolymers: Effect of composition and molecular weight

2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene (PDD-TFE) copolymer is a good candidate to prepare gas separation membranes with excellent permeability due to its free volume characteristics. However, the influence of PDD-TFE copolymer structure on its free volume characteristics is less studied. In this paper, PDD-TFE copolymers with different compositions and molecular weights were synthesized, and their free volume characteristics were analyzed by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and a molecular dynamics simulation. It indicated that the molar fraction of PDD in copolymers had a significant effect on free volume characteristics, while the molecular weight of copolymers exerted a slight influence on free volume when the molecular weight exceeded a critical region (intrinsic viscosity [η] > 68 ml g⁻¹). PDD-TFE copolymers with greater PDD molar fractions (i.e., 72% and 84%) showed bimodal distributions in positron lifetime and free volume size distributions, while PDD-TFE copolymers with lower PDD molar fractions (i.e., 27% and 35%) exhibited a single peak. The long-lifetime parameter τ₃ was assigned to micro-cavities formed by [-(TFE)_y-PDD-] segments and τ₄ was attributed to micro-cavities formed by [-(PDD)_x-TFE-] segments. The cis and trans transitions of PDD led to a local multilayer spiral structure with a 2.6–4.3 Å layer spacing, which would also increase the free volume of copolymers.

The reaction of 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine (1) with phthalaldehyde (2) in the presence of Ni^II complexes afforded 4,5-dimethyldiisoindolo[2,1-a:1,2-c]quinoxaline-1,8-dione (3), whose structure was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Photooxidation of Transition Metal Complexes of 1,3-Dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) and 1,2-Dithiole-3-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmt)

Metall(II) bis-chelates of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) and 1,2-dithiole-3-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmt) undergo in CHCl₃/CH₃CN (ratio 1:24) photooxidation to the metal(III) bis-chelates when irradiated at 313 nm. No side reactions were observed. There is no correlation between the quantum yields of photooxidation and the electrochemical halve-wave potentials. This holds also in comparison to maleonitriledithiolato chelates.

Synthesis in Water and Antimicrobial Activity of 5-Trichloromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles

Two series of 5-trichloromethylisoxazoles were synthesized from the cyclocondensation of 1,1,1-trichloro-4-methoxy-3-alken-2-ones [Cl₃CC(O)C(R²) = C(R¹)OMe, where R¹ = H, Me, Et, Pr, iso-Pr, cyclo-Pr, Bu, terc-Bu, CH₂Br, CHBr₂, CH(Me)SMe, (CH₂)₂Ph, and Ph, and R² = H; R¹ = H and R² = Me and Et; R¹ and R² = -(CH₂)₄- and -(CH₂)₅-; and R¹ = Et and Ph and R² = Me] with hydroxylamine hydrochloride through a rapid one-pot reaction in water. The 5-trichloromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles were aromatized by reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain the respective 5-trichloromethylisoxazoles. Their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H/¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron impact mass spectroscopy. Crystal structure analysis for 5-triclhoromethyl-5-hydroxy-3-propyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (2d) and 5-trichloromethyl-5-hydroxy-3,4-hexamethylene-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (2o) is presented. The antimicrobial activities of the 5-trichloromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole derivatives were examined using the standard twofold dilution method against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and yeasts (Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans). All of the tested 5-trichloromethyldihydroisoxazoles exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activities at the tested concentrations.

Gas and vapor transport properties of amorphous perfluorinated copolymer membranes based on 2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole/tetrafluoroethylene

Teflon AF 2400 (Du Pont) is an amorphous, glassy perfluorinated copolymer containing 87 mol% 2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole and 13 mol% tetrafluoroethylene. The polymer has an extremely high fractional free volume of 0.327. Permeability coefficients for helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, ethane, propane, and chlorodifluoromethane (Freon 22) were determined at temperatures from 25 to 60°C and pressures from 20 to 120 psig. Permeation properties were also determined at a feed pressure of 200 psig at 25°C with a 2 mol% n-butane/98 mol% methane mixture. Permeabilities of permanent gases in Teflon AF 2400 are among the highest of all known polymers; the oxygen permeability coefficient at 25°C is 1600 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm³ (STP) cm/cm² s cmHg and the nitrogen permeability coefficient is 780 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm³ (STP) cm/cm² s cmHg. The permeabilities of organic vapors increase up to 20-fold as the vapor activity increases from 0.1 to unity, indicating that Teflon AF 2400 is easily plasticized. Although Teflon AF 2400 is an ultrahigh-free-volume polymer like poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) [PTMSP], their gas permeation properties differ significantly. Teflon AF 2400 shows gas transport behavior similar to that of conventional, low-free-volume glassy polymers. PTMSP, on the other hand, acts more like a nanoporous carbon than a conventional glassy polymer.
