Synthesis,optical, and spectroscopic characterisation of substituted 3-phenyl-2-arylacrylonitriles

The Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes and substrates with active methylene groups was applied to synthesise a series of 3-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-arylacrylonitriles (aryl = phenyl or pyridyl). Chloro-, fluoro-, or dimethylamino-substituted aryls and a cyano group attached to the double bond of acrylonitrile were studied. Previous studies showed that the condensation products were E isomers. The compounds synthesised were: 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, and 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile. Structures were confirmed by IR, MS, and NMR spectral data. Molar absorption coefficient, absorbance, and fluorescence emission spectra were compared in order to evaluate the effects of substituents on phenyl and the position of nitrogen in pyridine moiety on the electronic properties of acrylonitrile derivatives prepared.     

An effective synthesis method for secondary fluorinated alcohols via the reaction of esters of polyfluorinated acids with trialkylalanes

Unlike nonfluorinated analogs, complex esters of polyfluorinated acids in reactions with trialkylalanes produce only polyfluorinated secondary alcohols.Department of Fine Organic Synthesis, Institute of Organic Chemistry, Urals Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 450054 Ufa.

Crystal and molecular structure of o-methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid

The title compound, o-methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid (o-MAPHA), C₁₀H₁₂AsNO₄, is a monomer used to obtain water-soluble polyelectrolytes. It was obtained from the condensation reaction of o-arsanilic acid and methacryloyl chloride. Crystallization from aqueous ethanol solution yielded colorless prismatic crystals, and one was used for X-ray analysis. The crystal structure was solved using direct methods with a refined R ₁ = 0.0483. The crystal structure belongs to the triclinic system, space group , and the asymmetric unit comprises two molecules of the o-MAPHA acid and one water molecule. Both acid molecules are approximately planar and in both molecules the As atom presents common tetrahedral geometry with two long As–O bonds for hydroxyl groups and one short As–O bond for the oxo groups. The structure of o-arsanilic acid (o-ARSA), C₆H₈AsNO₃, was also determinated using the same methods and compared with the o-arsanilic acid structure previously reported. The crystal structure of the o-arsanilic acid belongs to the monoclinic crystal system and to the P2₁ noncentrosymmetric space group with Z equals two.     

X-ray molecular structure and theoretical study of 1,4-bis[2-cyano-2-(o-pyridyl)ethenyl]benzene

The structural characterisation of the molecule 1,4-bis[2-cyano-2-(o-pyridyl)ethenyl] benzene obtained through Knoevenagel condensation is reported. The single crystals, as light brown rods, were cultured from a chloroform solution using a slow evaporation method at ambient temperature. The compound crystallised in the monoclinic system belonging to the C2/c space group with a = 26.4556(9) Å, b = 3.73562(10) Å, c = 18.4230(6) Å, β = 109.841(4)° and the asymmetric unit comprising Z = 4. The structure is ordered and the molecules of the title compound exhibited a lattice with water molecules located at sites of inversion and two-fold axial symmetries. Thus, only halves of the molecules are symmetrically independent. The lattice is reported and contrasted with X-ray single-crystal diffraction and theoretical calculations of 1,4-bis(1-cyano-2-phenylethenyl)benzene. By using density functional theory (DFT) and second order Moller-Plesset (MP2) theoretical calculations, the ground state geometry in the whole molecule at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p), and MP2/6-31+G(d,p) theory levels, respectively, were optimised. The DFT calculations showed a quasi-planar structure of the molecule, whereas the wave function-based MP2 method afforded a non-planar optimised structure with significant torsion angles between the pyridine and phenyl rings.     

雾化角对液体火箭发动机燃烧室压力振荡的影响

针对液氧/煤油火箭发动机模型燃烧室实现了三维非稳态两相燃烧过程的数值模拟,得到的燃烧室截面平均压力和平均速度与实验吻合。在初边值条件不施加任何扰动的情况下,得到了燃烧室压力自激振荡过程,并研究了液氧和煤油喷嘴雾化角对燃烧室压力振荡的影响。计算结果表明:当雾化角为40°或120°时,由于燃料与氧化剂喷雾锥重叠区域较小或较大,导致了推进剂混合很差或很好,不易在燃烧室头部出现局部爆炸性的可燃混气团,致使燃烧室压力振荡强度较弱;而当雾化角为中间值65°时,易于出现爆炸性的可燃气团并导致剧烈的压力振荡,使燃烧室中出现燃烧不稳定性。因此,雾化角的合理设计是抑制燃烧不稳定性的一种途径。
