Synthesis and crystallographic studies of two new 1,3,5‐triazines

The synthesis and characterization of two new 1,3,5‐triazines containing 2‐(aminomethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole hydrochloride as a substituent are reported, namely, 2‐{[(4,6‐dichloro‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)amino]methyl}‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium chloride, C₁₁H₉Cl₂N₆⁺·Cl^? ( 1 ), and bis(2,2′‐{[(6‐chloro‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4‐diyl)bis(azanediyl)]bis(methylene)}bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium)) tetrachloride heptahydrate, 2C₁₉H₁₈ClN₉²⁺·4Cl^?·7H₂O ( 2 ). Both salts were characterized using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy. Moreover, the NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectra of 1 were obtained. Salts 1 and 2 have triclinic symmetry (space group P) and their supramolecular structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonding and offset π–π interactions. In hydrated salt 2 , the noncovalent interactions yield pseudo‐nanotubes filled with chloride anions and water molecules, which were modelled in the refinement with substitutional and positional disorder.     

Cyclometallation of phenylhydrazones: Synthesis, reactivity, crystal structure analysis and novel trinuclear palladium(II) cyclometallated compounds with [C, N, N′] terdentate ligands

Reaction of the ligand C₆H₅N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N) (a) with palladium(II) acetate in toluene gave the mononuclear cyclometallated complex [Pd{C₆H₄N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)}(AcO)] (1a). Reaction of 1a with sodium chloride gave the analogous chlorine compound [Pd{C₆H₄N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)}(Cl)] (3a) which could also be prepared by reaction of a with lithium tetrachloropalladate and sodium acetate in methanol for 48 h; whereas shorter reaction times afforded the non-cyclometallated complex [Pd{C₆H₅N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)}(Cl)₂] (2a). Reaction of the ligand 2-ClC₆H₄N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N) · HCl (b), with palladium(II) acetate, or with lithium tetrachloropalladate and sodium acetate, yielded the cyclometallated complex [Pd2-ClC₆H₃N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)(Cl)] (1b). Treatment of 3a and 1b with silver trifluoromethanesulphonate (triflate) and triphenylphosphine in acetone gave the mononuclear complexes [Pd{2-RC₆H_nN(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)}(PPh₃)][CF₃SO₃], (R = H, n = 4, 4a; R = Cl, n = 3, 2b) with the ligand as C,N,N′ terdentate and substitution of chlorine by triphenylphosphine. Reaction of 3a and 1b with silver triflate and the tertiary diphosphine Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂ (dppb) in a 2:1 molar ratio gave the dinuclear cyclometallated complexes [{Pd[2-RC₆H₃N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)]}₂(μ-Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂)][CF₃SO₃]₂ (R = H, 5a; R = Cl, 3b) with a μ₂-diphosphine bridging ligand. Similarly, treatment of 3a and 1b with silver triflate and the tertiary triphosphines MeC(CH₂PPh₂)₃ (tripod) and (Ph₂PCH₂CH₂)₂PPh (triphos), in 3:1 molar ratio, gave the novel trinuclear complexes [{Pd[C₆H₄N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)]}₃{μ₃-MeC(CH₂Ph₂)₃}][CF₃SO₃]₃ (6a) and [{Pd[2-ClC₆H₃N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)]}₃{μ₃-(PPh₂CH₂CH₂)₂PPh}][CF₃SO₃] ₃ (4b) regioselectively, with the phosphine as a μ₃-bridging ligand. When the reaction between 3a and triphos was carried out in 1:1 molar ratio the mononuclear complex [Pd{C₆H₄N(H)NCMe(C₅H₄N)}{(PPh₂CH₂CH₂)₂PPh-P,P,P}][ClO₄] (7a) was obtained. The crystal structures of 2b, 3a and 4a have been determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Study of bulk chain coupling reactions. I. Reaction between bisoxazolones and amine-terminated polyamide 12

2,2′-Bis(4,4-dimethyl-5(4H)-oxazolone) ( B3 ) and 2,2′-(1,2-ethylene)-bis(4,4-dimethyl-5(4H)oxazolone) ( B4 ) have been reacted in the bulk with α, ω-diamino polyamide-12 ( PA12 ) of M?_n = 1000. The reactions have been studied by SEC, and ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and resulting polymers characterized by DSC and TGA. The chain coupling reaction is fast and gives high molar mass polymers within 10 min at 200°C with B4 while some side reactions occur with B3 leading to polymers of lower molar mass. The crystallinity of resulting polymers is lower than that of starting oligomer. However, the thermal stability is higher. Model reactions using B3 or B4 and hexamethylene diamine or 1-dodecanamine have been carried out and studied. An intramolecular cyclodehydration giving 2-imidazolin-5-ones takes place during the reactions. Higher cyclization extent is found in the presence of amino group excess. 2-Imidazolin-5-one heterocyclic structures are also observed in the chains of the polymers obtained from PA12 and B3 or B4 . © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Michael additions of benzoins versus Michael-Stetter additions of aldehydes

Triethylamine catalyzed Michael additions of benzoins to chalcone can prevail over the expected Michael-Stetter additions when certain thiazolium ion conjugate bases - prepared $\text{in situ}$ from the pertinent thiazolium salts and triethylamine- are used as catalysts.     

A note on the Joint Embedding Property in Fragments of Arithmetic

It is known that full Peano Arithmetic does not have the jointembedding property(JEP). At the other extreme of the hierarchy,Open Induction also fails to have this property. We prove, using some conservation results about fragments ofarithmetic, that if T is a theoryconsistent with PA and T I (bounded existential parameter-freeinduction), then any two m dels of PA which jointly embed ina model of T also jointly embed in an elementary extension ofone of them. In particular, any fragment of PA extending I fails to have JEP.     

POSTIRRADIATION PROPERTIES OF A UV-SENSITIVE VARIANT OF CHO

Abstract A UV-hypersensitive mutant of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, termed 43-3B, has been used in a comparative study with the wild type CHO in order to determine the involvement of repair in several postirradiation phenomena. 43-3B has the same growth rate and chromosome number as the wild type CHO-9. It is hypersensitive to UV irradiation (D₀ of 0.3 J/m² as compared to 3.2 J/m² for the wild type). 43-3B shows only about 17% of the UV-stimulated unscheduled DNA repair synthesis of CHO-9 as measured by autoradiography. When breaks in supercoiled chromatin are measured after UV by the nucleoid sedimentation method, the mutant appears to be capable of carrying out only limited incision. A much reduced ability to recover control rates of semiconservative DNA synthesis after UV irradiation was observed in the repair-deficient 43-3B cell line, suggesting that the removal of UV-induced replication blocks by excision repair is the most important factor in allowing recovery of UV-inhibited DNA synthesis. Recovery of colony-forming ability between fractionated UV exposures was observed in the wild type CHO-9, but little recovery was seen in 43-3B. This indicates that excision repair capability can also be important in split-fluence recovery.     

Speciation of the new ligand di-isopropyliminodiacetoamide with Cu(II) using computational processing and graphical methods

The importance assigned to chelating agents in diverse areas has impelled studies concerning their development as related to metal ions representing a biological concern. The synthesis of di-isopropyliminodiacetoamide (D) is presented in this work. The acidity constant obtained for D was pKa = 5.79 +/- 0.04 with the aid of program SUPERQUAD. The equilibrium constants for D with Cu(II) were obtained with the aid of program SQUAD for CuD2+ and CuD2(2)+ species giving log beta1 = 4.795 +/- 0.002 and log beta2 = 8.374 +/- 0.004, respectively.     

Pyridinium o-iodoxybenzoate as a Safe form of a Famous Oxidant

The stable pyridinium salt of o-iodoxybenzoic acid (PIBX) that is easy to obtain can serve as a convenient substitute of IBX as an oxidant. PIBX is safer, has neutral properties behaves as an equivalent to IBX in the oxidation of alcohols to ketones or aldehydes in polar solvents (DMF, DMSO), and provides higher oxidation rate in THF due to better solubility.     

Metal Oxide Assisted Preparation of Core–Shell Beads with Dense Metal–Organic Framework Coatings for the Enhanced Extraction of Organic Pollutants

Dense and homogeneous metal–organic framework (MOF) coatings on functional bead surfaces are easily prepared by using intermediate sacrificial metal oxide coatings containing the metal precursor of the MOF. Polystyrene (PS) beads are coated with a ZnO layer to give ZnO@PS core–shell beads. The ZnO@PS beads are reactive in the presence of 2‐methylimidazole to transform part of the ZnO coating into a porous zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) external shell positioned above the internal ZnO precursor shell. The obtained ZIF‐8@ZnO@PS beads can be easily packed in column format for flow‐through applications, such as the solid‐phase extraction of trace priority‐listed environmental pollutants. The prepared material shows an excellent permeance to flow when packed as a column to give high enrichment factors, facile regeneration, and excellent reusability for the extraction of the pollutant bisphenol A. It also shows an outstanding performance for the simultaneous enrichment of mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals (bisphenol A, 4‐tert‐octylphenol and 4‐n‐nonylphenol), facilitating their analysis when present at very low levels (<1 μg L^?1) in drinking waters. For the extraction of the pollutant bisphenol A, the prepared ZIF‐8@ZnO@PS beads also show a superior extraction and preconcentration capacity to that of the PS beads used as precursors and the composite materials obtained by the direct growth of ZIF‐8 on the surface of the PS beads in the absence of metal oxide intermediate coatings.
