The reaction of oximes with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione to produce nitric oxide – Model compounds for nitric oxide synthase

Certain oximes form nitric oxide upon reaction with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione (PTAD). The oximes appear to undergo an Alder-ene reaction with the PTAD enophile to form a nitroso intermediate capable of dimerization and/or nitric oxide formation. Upon exposure to oxygen, the nitroso compounds eventually form ketones. This reaction may serve as a model for the study of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the enzyme responsible for physiological production of nitric oxide. NOS is known to produce an oxime intermediate which reacts with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and citrulline.     

Stereochemistry of the coupling step in photo-S_(RN) 1 reaction

The photo-S_(RN) 1 reaction of (+)-camphor and aryl halides was investigated in order toestimate the stereochemistry of the coupling step of aryl radicals with a nucleophile. The ratio of endo toexo products determined by ~1H NMR and CD spectra was found to be 99:1. MNDO calculationsof the orbital parameters showed a favorable one-sided overlap of the enolate ion with the SOMO of arylradical. In addition, fragmentation of (ArX)~- was found to be related to the energy of SOMO of(ArX)~-.

Electroanalytical studies of the corrosion-protection properties of 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dimethanol (ATD) on mild steel in 0.5?N sulfuric acid

Inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in aerated 0.5?N H₂SO₄ solution by 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dimethanol (ATD) was investigated by use of potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, adsorption, and surface morphological studies. The effects on the rate of corrosion of inhibitor concentration, temperature, extent of surface coverage, adsorption kinetics, and surface morphology were investigated. Inhibition efficiency increased markedly with increasing ATD concentration and decreased slightly with increasing temperature. The presence of ATD reduced the capacitance of the double layer and increased the charge-transfer resistance. Values of the activation energy (E _a) and of the thermodynamic data adsorption equilibrium constant (K _ads) and free energy of adsorption (??G _ads) were computed from the temperature dependence of the corrosion current. The inhibitor molecule first became adsorbed on the mild steel surface, obeying the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and substantially reduced the rate of corrosion. Results of electroanalytical studies revealed that ATD acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.     

The stereochemistry of the Grignard — Ortho ester reaction revisited: Regioselective endocyclic cleavage in the reaction of Grignard reagents with cis-2-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3-dioxane

The reaction of cis-2-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3-dioxane (4) with Grignard reagents proceeds in a totally regioselective manner via rupture of the less congested C(2)O(1) bond remote from the 4-methyl substituent. The analogous r-2-methoxy-cis-4,cis-6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane (2) is totally inert to the action of Grignard reagents.

Autoassembly of cage structures. 4. Stereochemistry of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-γ-butyrolactone-4-carboxy-s-(α)-phenylethylamide

The diastereoisomeric lactonamides (2a, b), obtained from the dilactone (1) and S-phenylethylamine, have been separated. X-ray crystallography shows that the high-melting isomer (2a) has theR-configuration at the chiral centers C² and C⁴, the enantiomeric conformation of the -lactone ring being of theS-type in thetwist form, intermediate between envelope ² E and semi-chair ₃ ² T. It is shown by molecular mechanics that the minimum steric energy of2a corresponds to a conformation of the heterocycle close to the envelope form₃E. Examination of van der Waals interactions shows that the calculated structure for2a is preferred. The reasons for the nonidentity of the forms of the -lactone ring of2a in the crystal and the free state are discussed. The crystal structure of2a is composed of two geometrically similar independent molecules associated along the axis by weak hydrogen bonds of two types, the energies of which have been estimated from the v_XH values, which are related by the expression v_XH=f(R_X...O), where X=N, O.For previous communication, see [1].N.

Density functional theory study of the cycloaddition reaction of furan derivatives with masked o-benzoquinones. Does the furan act as a dienophile in the cycloaddition reaction?

The molecular mechanism for the cycloaddition reaction between 2-methylfuran and a masked o-benzoquinone has been characterized using quantum mechanical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G theory level. An analysis of the results on the reaction pathway shows that the reaction takes place along a polar stepwise mechanism. The first and rate-determining step corresponds to the nucleophilic attack of the furan ring on the doubly conjugated position of the 2,4-dienone system present at the masked o-benzoquinone to give a zwitterionic intermediate. Closure of this intermediate affords the formally [2 + 4] cycloadduct. For the second step two reactive channels have been characterized corresponding to the formation of the formally [2 + 4] and [4 + 2] cycloadducts. Analysis of the energetic results indicates that while the first is the meta regiocontrolling and endo stereocontrolling step, the second one is responsible for the formation of the unexpected formally [2 + 4] cycloadduct. The global and local electrophilicity/nucleophilicity power of the reactants and intermediate have been evaluated to rationalize these results. Density functional theory analysis for these cycloadditions is in complete agreement with the experimental outcome, explaining the reactivity and selectivity of the formation of the formally [2 + 4] cycloadducts.     

Are the pyrazolines formed from the reaction of [60]fullerene with alkyl diazoacetates unstable?

[60]Fullerene-fused pyrazolines 1 were prepared by the reaction of C₆₀ with alky diazoacetates under the solid-state high-speed vibration milling conditions as well as in toluene solution. Pyrazolines 1 were stable in refluxing toluene and its thermolysis process in 1,2-dichlorobenzene was investigated, the decomposition rates and activation energies of pyrazolines 1 were obtained. The current work demonstrated that the liquid-phase reaction of C₆₀ with alkyl diazoacetates undergoes via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition pathway at room temperature, or proceeds via carbene mechanism at a temperature of refluxing toluene, thus clarifies the previous ambiguity of its reaction mechanism.     

Six lanthanide(III) coordination polymers with 3,5-bis(4′-carboxy-phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole: syntheses,structures, and photoluminescence

Six 3-D lanthanide(III)-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through multidentate 3,5-bis(4′-carboxy-phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (H₂BCPT); acetic acid (HOAc); and corresponding trivalent rare earth chloride, {[Ln(BCPT)(OAc)(H₂O)]·(H₂O)}_n (Ln = Nd³⁺ (1); Sm³⁺ (2), Gd³⁺ (3), Tb³⁺ (4), Ho³⁺ (5), Yb³⁺ (6)), have been synthesized. MOFs 1–6 were characterized via FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, thermal analysis, and fluorescence. MOFs 1–6 are isomorphous, which can be described as a 3-D construction containing a dinuclear cluster [Tb₂(CO₂)₂(O)₂]. The 3-D structure with (4,4) topologies have been extended through BCPT^2? using μ₄-kO;kO;kO;kO coordination modes. Solid-state luminescence of 1–4 and 6 shows the characteristic bands of Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Yb³⁺ from visible to near-infrared spectral regions.     

Chemo,regio and stereoselectivity in the reaction of p-bromobenzaldehyde with α-ethoxycrotyltributyltin

The reaction of p-bromobenzaldehyde (1) with α-ethoxycrotyltributyltin (2) has proved amenable to control in terms of chemo, regio and stereochemistry, using appropriate experimental conditions, namely Pd(PPh₃)₄ catalysis, BF₃.Et₂O catalysis or simple heating. In the latter case, a dramatic kinetic effect has been observed: 2E has been proved to be much more reactive (and much more stereoselective) than 2Z.     

Construction and Photoluminescence Properties of Zn(Ⅱ)/Cd(Ⅱ) Complexes with 4-Amino-3,5-propyl-1,2,4-triazole Ligand

Reaction of ZnCl2 and 4-amino-3,5-propyl-1,2,4-triazole(dpatrz) or CdCl2, NaN3 and dpatrz, in aqueous solution at room temperature yields two neutral clusters: a dinuclear complex [Zn2(dpatrz)2Cl4](I) and a linear trinuclear complex, [Cd3(dpatrz)4(N3)2Cl4](Ⅱ). Both complexes have been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, powder XRD, IR, elemental analysis, TG and fluorescence analysis. Complex I crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 11.865(2), b = 14.464(3), c = 15.985(3) , V = 2743.4(9) 3, Z = 4, C16H32N8Cl4Zn2, Mr = 609.4, Dc = 1.475 g·cm3, μ = 2.16 mm-1, F(000) = 1248, GOOF = 1.091, the final R = 0.0295 and wR = 0.0665 for 1999 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Complex Ⅱ crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 11.408(2), b = 15.211(3), c = 18.152(6) , β = 123.75(2)o, V = 2619.1(1) 3, Z = 2, C32H64N22Cl4Cd3, Mr = 1236.05, Dc = 1.567 g·cm3, μ = 1.46 mm-1, F(000) = 1244, GOOF = 1.042, the final R = 0.0444 and wR = 0.0913 for 3466 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The analysis of X-ray revealed that both structures lie about the inversion centers: complex I adopts two μ1,2-triazole bridges linking two Zn(Ⅱ) ions and Ⅱ forms a linear trinuclear structure with four μ1,2-triazoles and two μ1,1-N3- bridging modes. There are different coordinated geometries for three Cd(Ⅱ) ions in Ⅱ: one is coordinated with an octahedral environment, and the other two are distorted tetragonal pyramids(τ = 0.34). The hydrogen bonds of C–H···Cl and N–H···Cl lead to the discretes into a 3D supramolecular network in both compounds. The thermal stabilities and photoluminescence behaviors of them were also studied.
