An alternative approach toward 2-aryl-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]-quinolin-3-ones by a multistep synthesis

A series of 2-aryl-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-3-ones derivatives 6 and 7 was conveniently prepared. A multistep synthesis was carried out starting from dichloro- and bromoanilines (1a-b) and diethyl 2-(ethoxymethylene)malonate using a slightly modified Gould-Jacobs reaction. In this work we present a novel chlorination strategy to prepare quinoline derivatives 4 in excellent yields as key intermediates in the synthesis of the target compounds. Several reaction conditions were evaluated to optimize the formation of pyrazoloquinolinone nucleus. Differences in chemical behavior of both chloroquinolinones 4a-b with aryl and benzyl-hydrazines are also discussed.     

Preparation of the Ca–diclofenac complex in solid state

Two ONNO type naphtaldehyde derivative Schiff base compounds were reduced and two symmetric phenol-amine ligands containing naphthalene groups were obtained; bis-N,N′[(2-hydroxy-1-naphtyl) methyl]-1,3-propanediamine (NAFL^H) and bis-N,N′[(2-hydroxy-1-naphtyl) methyl]-2,2′-dimetyhyl-1,3-propanediamine (NAFLDM^H). Homotrinuclear Ni(II) complexes of these ligands were prepared. The solid-state molecular structures of representative nickel complex of NAFLDM^H were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The terminal Ni(II) ions were found to be situated in between the donor atoms of the organic ligand. The central Ni(II) ion was observed to be bonded via two different μ-bridges. The phenolic oxygens and carboxylate ion were seen to form two different μ-bridges. TG analysis proved that the compounds have different thermal characteristics than those cited in literature. The complexes showed extreme exothermic degradation reactions in inert atmosphere. The complexes are ruptured with a two stepped exothermic reaction which appears huge heat over 300 °C. The heat appeared in O₂ atmosphere is observed to be higher than the heat appeared in inert atmosphere. Revealed heat is observed to be higher than the conventional explosive materials.     

Reductive Dimerization of Triruthenium Clusters Containing Cationic Aromatic N‐Heterocyclic Ligands

The cationic cluster complexes [Ru₃(μ‐H)(μ‐κ²N,C‐L¹ Me)(CO)₁₀]⁺ ( 1 ⁺; HL¹ Me=N‐methylpyrazinium), [Ru₃(μ‐H)(μ‐κ²N,C‐L² Me)(CO)₁₀]⁺ ( 2 ⁺; HL² Me=N‐methylquinoxalinium), and [Ru₃(μ‐H)(μ‐κ²‐N,C‐L³ Me)(CO)₁₀]⁺ ( 3 ⁺; HL³ Me=N‐methyl‐1,5‐naphthyridinium), which contain cationic N‐heterocyclic ligands, undergo one‐electron reduction processes to become short lived, ligand‐centered, trinuclear, radical species ( 1 – 3 ) that end in the formation of an intermolecular C? C bond between the ligands of two such radicals, thus leading to neutral hexanuclear derivatives. These dimerization processes are selective, in the sense that they only occur through the exo face of the bridging ligands of trinuclear enantiomers of the same configuration, as they only afford hexanuclear dimers with rac structures (C₂ symmetry). The following are the dimeric products that have been isolated by using cobaltocene as reducing agent: [Ru₆(μ‐H)₂{μ₆‐κ⁴N₂,C₂‐(L¹ Me)₂}(CO)₁₈] ( 5 ; from 1 ⁺), [Ru₆(μ‐H)₂{μ₆‐κ⁴N₂,C₂‐(L² Me)₂}(CO)₁₈] ( 6 ; from 2 ⁺), and [Ru₆(μ‐H)₂{μ₄‐κ⁸N₂,C₆‐(L³ Me)₂}(CO)₁₈] ( 7 ; from 3 ⁺). The structures of the final hexanuclear products depend on the N‐heterocyclic ligand attached to the starting materials. Thus, although both trinuclear subunits of 5 and 6 are face‐capped by their bridging ligands, the coordination mode of the ligand of 5 is different from that of the ligand of 6 . The trinuclear subunits of 7 are edge‐bridged by its bridging ligand. In the presence of moisture, the reduction of 3 ⁺ with cobaltocene also affords a trinuclear derivative, [Ru₃(μ‐H)(μ‐κ²N,C‐L^3′ Me)(CO)₁₀] ( 8 ), whose bridging ligand (L^3′ Me) results from the formal substitution of an oxygen atom for the hydrogen atom (as a proton) that in 3 ⁺ is attached to the C⁶ carbon atom of its heterocyclic ligand. The results have been rationalized with the help of electrochemical measurements and DFT calculations, which have also shed light on the nature of the odd‐electron species, 1 – 3 , and on the regioselectivity of their dimerization processes. It seems that the sort of coupling reactions described herein requires cationic complexes with ligand‐based LUMOs.     

Muckenhoupt weights with singularities on closed lower dimensional sets in spaces of homogeneous type

We give sufficient conditions on a real number β and on a closed set F   in a general space of homogeneous type (X,d,μ)$(X,d,\mu )$ in such a way that μ(B(x,d(x,F)))^β$\mu {(B(x,d(x,F)))}^{\beta }$ becomes a Muckenhoupt weight. In order to prove our result, we modify the underlying space so that it becomes 1-Ahlfors regular.     

Kinetic studies of urban solid residues and leachate from sanitary landfill

Urban solid residues are constituted of food remaining, grass leaves, fruit peelings, paper, cardboard, rubber, plastic, etc. The organic fraction formed represents about 50% during the decomposition yields biogas and leachate, which are sources of pollution. Residue samples were collected from the landfill in different and cells from several ages and the corresponding leachate, both after treatments, were submitted to thermal analysis. Kinetic parameters were determined using Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method. The linear relation between the two kinetic parameters (ln A and E) was verified for organic residue urban’s samples, but not for leachate’s sample. The occurred difference can be attributed to the constituents present in leachate.     

Excess thermodynamics properties of propyl propanoate+hexane+cyclohexane at 298.15 K

Summary In this paper we present excess molar volumes and excess molar enthalpies of binary and ternary mixtures containing propyl propanoate, hexane and cyclohexane as components at 298.15 K. Excess molar volumes were calculated from the density of the pure liquids and mixtures. The density was measured using an Anton Paar DMA 60/602 vibrating-tube densimeter. Excess molar enthalpies were obtained using a Calvet microcalorimeter
