The effect of solvents on the extraction of lanthanoids with 18-crown-6 and trichloroacetate

The effect of solvents on the extraction of lanthanoids with 18-crown-6 and trichloroacetic acid was investigated for the solvents, 1,1,-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1, 2,2-tetrachloroethane, chloroform, di-2-chloroethyl ether, and methylene chloride. Distribution coefficients (25 °C) normalized to the water solubility (wt./vol.) in the solvents correlated to the polarizability index (^*) for La³⁺, Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺, and Nd³⁺ with r values=0.93,0.93,0.95, and 0.98, respectively. The distribution coefficients for Nd³⁺ also correlated with the Hildebrand solubility parameter () (r=0.98). These correlations agree with the literature that for large ions, the extraction thermodynamic properties correlate with the polarizability index and Hildebrand solubility parameter.

Ultraviolet photolysis of CH2I2 in methanol: O-H insertion and HI elimination reactions to form a dimethoxymethane product

Ultraviolet photolysis of low concentrations of CH2I2 in methanol solution found that CH2I2 is converted into dimethoxymethane and some H+ and I- products. Picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ps-TR3) experiments observed that the isodiiodomethane (CH2I-I) photoproduct decayed faster as the concentration of methanol increases, suggesting that isodiiodomethane is reacting with methanol. Ab initio calculations indicate isodiiodomethane is able to react with methanol via an O-H insertion/HI elimination to form an iodoether (ICH2-O-CH3) and HI products. The iodoether can then further react via another O-H insertion/HI elimination reaction to form the dimethoxymethane (CH3-O-CH2-O-CH3) observed in the photochemistry experiments. A reaction mechanism consistent with these experimental and theoretical observations is proposed.     

Comparison of the dehalogenation of dihalomethanes (CH2XI, where X = Cl, Br, I) following ultraviolet photolysis in aqueous and NaCl saltwater environments

The ultraviolet photolysis of low concentrations of CH(2)XI (X = Cl, Br, I) were investigated in water and saltwater solutions by photochemistry and picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. Photolysis in both kinds of solutions formed mostly CH(2)(OH)(2) and HI and HX products. However, photolysis of the CH(2)XI molecules in saltwater resulted in production of some CH(2)XCl products not observed in aqueous solutions without salt present. The appearance of these new products in saltwater solutions is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of CH(2)(OH)(2), HI, and HX products compared to photolysis in aqueous solutions without salt present. The possible implications for photolysis of CH(2)XI and other polyhalomethanes in seawater and other salt aqueous environments compared to nonsaltwater solvated environments is briefly discussed.     

C9‐Iridoids from Scrophularia buergeriana

Four new iridoids, buergerinins B–E ( 1 – 4 ), along with three known iridoids, were isolated from the roots of Scrophularia buergeriana. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis.     

Alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene in acidic ionic liquid systems: Et3NHCl-FeCl3and Et3NHCl-AlCl3ionic liquids

Summary The alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene has been investigated in different triethylamine hydrochloride-ferric chloride (Et₃NHCl-FeCl₃) and triethylamine hydrochloride-aluminium chloride (Et₃NHCl-AlCl₃) ionic liquids. Both high catalyst activity and monoalkylation selectivity were observed for these two type of ionic liquids. Systems prepared by modification with HCl in Et₃NHCl-FeCl₃ionic liquids prove to be very suitable solvents and catalysts for the reaction. When employing Et₃NHCl-AlCl₃ionic liquids as catalysts, the reaction takes place in biphasic mode with facile catalyst separation and catalyst recycling.     

Photoinduced electron transfer across linearly fused oligo-norbornyl structures

The rates of photoinduced electron transfer (ET) reactions across two oligo-norbornyl spacer groups (S), that is, structure 1 fused by two norbornadiene (NBD) units and structure 2 fused by three NBD units, are examined. Substituted naphthalene acted as an electron donor (D), whilst ethylene-1,2-dicarboxylate as an electron acceptor (A). ET rates were measured by fluorescence quenching experiments on these D-S-A dyads, and the results were correlated with reaction free energies according to the Marcus relationship. It was found that naphthalene with phenyl substituents showed relatively slower ET rates. The conformational flexibility of phenyl substituents may cause a hindrance on the electronic coupling between D and A. Another salient feature was the abnormally high quenching rates observed in nonpolar solvents such as cyclohexane, the results of which may be ascribed to a competing energy transfer process.     

Poly(ethylene glycol)-supported α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone in dioxirane mediated alkene epoxidation reactions

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was used for the immobilization of α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone and the utility of this supported ketone has been examined in dioxirane mediated epoxidation of alkenes. The PEG-ketone reagent was found to be an effective homogeneous catalyst for the epoxidation of a variety of alkenes in the presence of Oxone^® and was readily recovered from the reaction mixtures and reused.     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles and their biological evaluations as inhibitors of neuronal sodium channels

The preparation of pyrimidine-2-thione, pyrimidine-2-one, pyrimidine, and benzo[b][1,4]diazepine derivatives using traceless solid-phase sulfone linker strategy is described. Key steps involved are (i) sulfinate S-alkylation, (ii) sulfone anion alkylation with an epoxide, (iii) gamma-hydroxyl sulfone --> gamma-ketosulfone oxidation, and (iv) traceless product release by a one-pot elimination-cyclization process. Elimination-cyclization was carried out under basic conditions with thiourea, methyl thiourea, methyl urea, guanidine hydrochloride, benzamidine hydrochloride and ortho-phenylene diamine. Twenty-three compounds were prepared, and 14 of them were evaluated by the Batrachotoxin (BTX) radioligand binding assay for their binding affinity to neuronal sodium channels. Compound 7c was found to be a potential neuronal sodium channels blocker.
