Synthesis of 4-thia analogues of isoquinoline alkaloids

Summary (±)-4-Thiacarnegin (3) was synthesized by reaction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzothiazinium iodide (2) with methyl magnesium iodide, thereby opening a new synthetic route to 4-substituted dihydro-2H-1,3-benzothiazines. Compound3 was also obtained by reduction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethyl-2H-1,3-benzothiazinium iodide (5). In a similar way, reduction of the quaternary salts9 a–c afforded the (±)-4-thia analogues of cryptostilin-I, -II and -III (10 a–c). The isomers of the former compounds (12 a–c) were also synthesized by reduction of the 4H-1,3-benzothiazinium salts11 a–c.

Cycloaddition reactions of 1.3-benzothiazines v synthesis of new tetracyclic ring systems

New tetracyclic derivatives (3a,$\text{b}$, 5, 8) similar to protoberberines, but containing a lactam structural element and other hetero atoms besides the bridge-head nitrogen in rings B and C, were prepared by cycloaddition of 6,7-dimethoxy-2H-1,3-benzothiazine (1a) with $\text{o}$-substituted aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives (2a,$\text{b}$, 4) and from 4- methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-2$\text{H}$-1,3-benzothiazine (1b) with 3.5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride.

The reaction of Schiff bases prepared from 1- and 2-substituted-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with phenoxyacetyl chlorides in the presence of triethylamine and a mixture of phosphorus oxychloride and dichloroacetic acid in dimethylformamide to yield β-lactam 4 , a dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5(1H)-one 5, a 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(3H)-one 9 and the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5(1H)-one 10 derivatives was studied.     

Stereochemical studies, 47, saturated heterocycles, 25 a simple stereospecific synthesis of oxazasteroids

8-Aza-12-oxasteroids have been synthesized in a simple three-step process. As a consequence of two stareocontrolled reactions, the product is a stereospecifically homogeneous isomer with all-$\text{trans}$ ring junctions; its structure has been determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.     

Effects of shell composition,dosage and alkali type on the morphology of polymer hollow microspheres

Polymer hollow microspheres were prepared by performing alkali treatment on the multilayer core/shell polymer latex particles containing carboxyl groups. Effects of the shell composition and dosage as well as alkali type on the morphology of the microspheres were investigated. Results showed that in comparison with acrylonitrile(AN) and methacrylic acid(MAA), using butyl acrylate(BA) as the shell co-monomer decreased the glass transition temperature(T_g) of shell effectively and was beneficial to the formation of uniform and big hollow structure. Along with the increase of the shell dosage, the alkali-treated microspheres sequentially presented porous and hollow morphology, and the size of microspheres increased, while the hollow diameter increased first and then decreased, and the maximum hollow ratio reached 39.5%. Furthermore, the multilayer core/shell microspheres had better tolerance to NH_3·H_2O than to NaOH. When the molar ratio of alkali to methacrylic acid(MR_(alkali/acid)) for Na OH ranged from 1.15 to 1.30 or MRalkali/acid for NH_3·H_2O ranged from 1.30 to 2.00, the regular polymer hollow microspheres could be obtained.     

Hypercomplex analysis and integration of systems of ordinary differential equations

We review the theory of hypercomplex numbers and hypercomplex analysis with the ultimate goal of applying them to issues related to the integration of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We introduce the notion of hypercomplexification, which allows the lifting of some results known for scalar ODEs to systems of ODEs. In particular, we provide another approach to the construction of superposition laws for some Riccati‐type systems, we obtain invariants of Abel‐type systems, we derive integrable Ermakov systems through hypercomplexification, we address the problem of linearization by hypercomplexification, and we provide a solution to the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for some systems of ODEs.

Polymer/boron nitride nanocomposite materials for superior thermal transport performance

Boron nitride nanosheets were dispersed in polymers to give composite films with excellent thermal transport performances approaching the record values found in polymer/graphene nanocomposites. Similarly high performance at lower BN loadings was achieved by aligning the nanosheets in poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix by simple mechanical stretching (see picture).
