New N,S-Substituted Nitrobutadienes from Mono(Arylthio)Substituted Nitrobutadienes

N,S-Substituted nitrobutadienes 3a–g were synthesized from the reaction of the thiosubstituted derivatives 1a–g with thiomorpholine 2. The N,S-substituted nitrobutadienes 5a–g were obtained from the reaction of the thiosubstituted butadienes 1a–g with N-diphenylmethyl piperazine 4. The structure of butadiene 3c was elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis of ferrocenyl pyrazoles by the reaction of 3-ferrocenylpropynal with hydrazinium salts

Synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted pyrazoles via the reaction between 3-ferrocenylpropynal and hydrazinium salts is described. Depending upon the substitution pattern of hydrazine derivative, the reaction affords 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazoles and/or 1-alkyl/aryl-3-ferrocenylpyrazoles. Structures of 5-ferrocenyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole, 1-benzyl-5-ferrocenyl-1H-pyrazole and 2-(3-ferrocenylpyrazol-1-yl)ethanol were identified by X-ray crystallography.     

Solutions of singular IVPs of Lane–Emden type by the variational iteration method

In this paper, approximate-exact solutions of a class of Lane–Emden type singular IVPs problems, by the variational iteration method, are presented. The variational iteration method yields solutions in the forms of convergent series with easily calculable terms. The scheme is shown to be highly accurate, and in some cases, yields exact solutions in few iterations.     

4-Vinylbenzenesulfonic acid adduct of epoxidized soybean oil: Synthesis, free radical and ADMET polymerizations

In this work new radically polymerizable triglyceride based monomers were synthesized by the reaction of epoxidized methyl oleate (EMO) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) with 4-vinyl benzene sulfonic acid (4VBSA). The products are 1-(4-vinylbenzene sulfonyl)oxy-2-alkonols of epoxidized soybean oil (SESO) and 1-(4-vinylbenzene sulfonyl)oxy-2-alkonols of epoxidized methyl oleate (SEMO). These adducts were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and CHNS elemental analysis. SESO was found to contain, on the average, 2.47 4VBSA units per triglyceride. SESO was free radically polymerized and co-polymerized with styrene and the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting thermosets were determined by DMA, DSC and TGA. SEMO was used as a model compound to determine the efficiency of metathesis catalysts for these fatty acid derivatives. The second generation Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst was found to give best yields. ADMET polymerization of SESO with this catalyst with and without solvent gave ∼80% yield of a thermoset polymer. Polymers obtained by free radical route swelled in water at room temperature, and hydrolyzed in water at 60 °C.     

Fatty acid composition and chemotaxonomic evaluation of species of Stachys

The fatty acid composition of the seed oil of 23 Stachys taxa was analysed by GC/MS. The main compounds were found to be linoleic (27.1-64.3%), oleic (20.25-48.1%), palmitic (4.3-9.1%), stearic (trace to 5.2%) and 6-octadecynoic (2.2-34.1%) acids. The latter compound could be used as a chemotaxonomic marker of the genus Stachys. A cluster analysis was performed for comparison and characterisation of the seed oil from Stachys species.

Applications of transition metal complexes containing aminophosphine ligand to transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Hydrogen transfer reduction processes are attracting increasing interest from synthetic chemists in view of their operational simplicity. Reaction of [Ph₂PNHCH₂‐C₄H₃S] with [Ru(η⁶‐benzene)(µ‐Cl)Cl]₂, [Rh(µ‐Cl)(cod)]₂ and [Ir(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(µ‐Cl)Cl]₂ gave a range of new monodendate complexes [Ru(Ph₂PNHCH₂‐C₄H₃S)(η⁶‐benzene)Cl₂], 1, [Rh(Ph₂PNHCH₂‐C₄H₃S)(cod)Cl], 2, and [Ir(Ph₂PNHCH₂‐C₄H₃S)(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Cl₂], 3, respectively. All new complexes were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. ¹H? ³¹P NMR, ¹H? ¹³C HETCOR or ¹H? ¹H COSY correlation experiments were used to confirm the spectral assignments. 1–3 are suitable catalyst precursors for the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives. Notably [Ru(Ph₂PNHCH₂‐C₄H₃S)(η⁶‐benzene)Cl₂], 1, acts as an excellent catalyst, giving the corresponding alcohols in 98–99% yields in 30 min at 82 °C (TOF ≤200 h^?1) for the transfer hydrogenation reaction in comparison to analogous rhodium or iridium complexes. This transfer hydrogenation is characterized by low reversibility under these conditions. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis of Two Natural Furan‐Cyclized Diarylheptanoids via 2‐Furaldehyde

Two natural diarylheptanoids, 2‐benzyl‐5‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan ( 1 ) and 2‐methoxy‐4‐{[5‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan‐2‐yl]methyl}phenol ( 2 ), were synthesized starting from 2‐furaldehyde. A Wittig reaction of 2‐furaldehyde with benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide followed by reduction of the alkene C?C bond with Mg gave 2‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan ( 5 ). Lithiation of 5 with BuLi at ?78° followed by alkylation with benzyl bromide gave natural product 1 . In another approach, Friedel? Crafts acylation of compound 5 with benzoyl chloride followed by deoxygenation of the C?O group afforded 1 . The natural product 2 was also synthesized by acylation of 5 with 4‐acetoxy‐3‐methoxybenzoyl chloride ( 16 ) followed by deoxygenation and deacetylation.
