H Nmr Spectra of Oligosaccharide Substituted Cyclodextrins

ABSTRACT

¹H NMR spectra of some oligosaccharide substituted cyclodextrins composed of only α-D-glucose units are analysed. Chemical shifts of protons of each glucosyl group of the chain were determined by experiments with the HOHAHA pulse technique. In spite of the similar kinds of protons, dispersion of chemical shifts is observed. The most dispersed proton is the anomeric proton, and the largest change in the chemical shifts is 0.5 ppm.     

Synthesis and characterization of polymer linked copper(I) bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene) mechanocatalysts

In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of a series of latent polymeric bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene) (NHC) copper(I) complexes is reported, which can be activated for the copper(I)‐catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) via ultrasound. To prove the influence of chain length and nature of the polymer towards the activation, poly(isobutylene) (PIB), poly(styrene) (PS) and poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) are synthesized via living polymerization techniques (LCCP, ATRP, CROP) obtaining different chain lengths (from 2500 to 9000 g/mol), followed by quaternization with N‐methylimidazole, generating the corresponding N‐methylimidazolium‐telechelic polymers. The deprotonation of these macroligands via strong bases like sodium tert‐butoxide (NaO^tBu) or potassium hexamethyldisilazide (KHMDS) yields the free N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which are used to coordinate to tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) hexafluorophosphate, forming the final polymer‐based mono‐ and bis(N‐methylimidazole‐2‐ylidene) copper(I)X complexes. The structural proof of these complexes is accomplished via ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy, MALDI‐TOF‐MS and GPC‐techniques. The activation of the copper(I) biscarbene catalysts by ultrasound is studied by GPC, revealing the cleavage of one shielding NHC‐ligand. The initial catalytic latency and the via ultrasound introduced catalytic activation is successfully demonstrated monitoring a CuAAC “click” reaction of benzyl azide and phenylacetylene by in situ ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy introducing thus “click” conversions up to 97%. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Short communication: An alternative and effective catalyst for the silastannation of arylacetylenes with Me3SiSnBu3 at room temperature

The palladium‐catalyzed silastannation of acetylenes with tributyl(trimethylsilyl)stannane in the presence of triethylphosphite is reported for the first time. The reaction occurs at room temperature to give (Z)‐silyl(stannyl)ethenes in high yields. The protodemetallation of the resulting adducts with HCl–tetraethylammonium chloride is described first, which demonstrates that the reaction is governed only by the stability of a carbonium ion arising from the protonation to (Z)‐silyl(stannyl)ethenes rather than the hard and soft acid and base principle, i.e. the β‐cation stabilization effect (σ–π stabilization one) of a stannyl group in the carbonium ion is rather significant.

Total Synthesis of cis‐Clavicipitic Acid from Asparagine via Ir‐Catalyzed CH bond Activation as a Key Step

4‐Substituted tryptophan derivatives and the total synthesis of cis‐clavicipitic acid were achieved in reactions in which Ir‐catalyzed C?H bond activation was a key step. The starting material for these reactions is asparagine, which is a cheap natural amino acid. The reductive amination step from the 4‐substituted tryptophan derivative gave cis‐clavicipitic acid with perfect diastereoselectivity.     

Development of upper bound technique for analysis of fracture in metal forming

Summary An attempt is made to modify the plasticity theory for compressible materials and then to derive the upper bound theorem or the second extremum principle which incorporate normal velocity discontinuity; this discontinuity is considered to be a measure of fracture. The theorem is applied to predict the occurrence of fracture, central bursting in extrusion or drawing. The occurrence of fracture appears to depend on the value of the parameters in the theorem; these parameters may be related to ductility or workability of the material in question. The upper bound technique is then applied to multi-stage extrusion of a carbon steel for which the values of the parameters are given with some assumptions. It is thus shown that the stage at which central bursting occurs agrees with experimental results and that it apparently depends on the extrusion condition.

Ein obere-schranken-konzept zur bestimmung von bruchvorgängen bei der umformung von metallen

Übersicht Es wird der Versuch unternommen, mit einer modifizierten Plastizitätstheorie für kompressible Werkstoffe den Obere-Schrankensatz bzw. das zweite Extremum-Prinzip herzuleiten, wenn die Normalgeschwindigkeit auf Sprungflächen unstetig ist. Diese Unstetigkeit wird als Indikator von Bruchvorgängen angesehen. Angewandt wird diese Hypothese auf die Vorhersage des Bruchs, d. h. der Materialtrennung im Kern beim Durchdrück- bzw. Durchziehverfahren. Das Auftreten von Brüchen erweist sich als abhängig von den Parametern des Ansatzes. Diese Parameter lassen sich mit der Umformbarkeit des Materials in Zusammenhang bringen. Angewandt wird das Obere-Schranken-Konzept auf das mehrstufige Durchpressen eines Kohlenstoff-Stahls, für den die Parameterwerte mit Hilfe einiger Parameterwerte festgelegt werden. Davon ausgehend wird gezeigt, daß die Preßstufe bei Materialtrennung mit experimentellen Ergebnissen übereinstimmt und offensichtlich von den Durchpreßbedingungen abhängt.

     

Cobalt oxide supported gold nanoparticles as a stable and readily-prepared precursor for the in situ generation of cobalt carbonyl like species

A treatment of cobalt oxide supported gold nanoparticles (Au/Co₃O₄) under syngas atmosphere effectively generated a cobalt carbonyl-like active species in the reaction vessel. The preparation of Au/Co₃O₄ was quite simple and the in situ generated cobalt species could be used as a stable and easy handling alternative for dicobalt octacarbonyl without bothersome purification prior to use. The reactions, which are sensitive to the purity of the dicobalt octacarbonyl, such as the alkoxycarbonylation of epoxides and the Pauson-Khand reaction, smoothly progressed with Au/Co₃O₄.     

Synthesis of the C22-C37 segment of prorocentin

The synthesis of the C22-C37 segment of prorocentin, isolated from the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima, was achieved. Because the relative stereochemical relationship between C26 and other stereocenters (C28/C31/C32 established as R*/R*/R*) in the C22-C37 region of natural prorocentin has not yet been determined, both epimers at C26 of the C22-C37 segment were selectively constructed. The synthesis was based on a 5-exo epoxide ring opening reaction to form an oxolane (E-ring), Brown asymmetric methallylation to install the C26-stereocenter, acryloylation of the resulting alcohol, and ring-closing olefin metathesis to establish the Z-olefin at C23/C24.     

Optical and electromagnetic characteristics of clay�Ciron oxide nanocomposites

Fe-pillared bentonite clay-based nanoadsorbent was synthesized by the thermal aging technique. The characteristics of the nanocomposite were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), reflectance spectrophotometer (RS), and electromagnetic transition instrument (ETI). The TGA result demonstrated that the Fe particles generated on the clay surface can significantly improve the thermal stability of clay particles. The SEM and EDX results showed the presence of chemical elements of Fe, Al, and Si on the surface of clay. In this research, the successful synthesis of Fe-pillared clay nanocomposite can be concluded from the FTIR spectra.
