A Facile Synthesis of Pyrimidone Derivatives and Single-Crystal Characterization of Pymetrozine

A facile and efficient synthetic methodology for the preparation of aza-pyrimidone and beno-pyrimidone derivatives is described, in which the triazinone ring and dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one was convenient constructed. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by mass, ¹H NMR, and infrared spectroscopy. In additional, the crystal of pymetrozine was obtained to find useful information such as configuration and molecular action mechanisms.

Thermal degradation kinetics and reaction models of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-based plastic-bonded explosives containing fluoropolymer matrices

In this article, thermal degradation behavior of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB)-based plastic-bonded explosives (PBXs) bonded with a different fluoropolymer matrices namely indigenous poly(vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (FKM), FK 800, fluoroplastic F-32L and fluororubber SKF 32 was investigated through non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TG) technique under nitrogen atmosphere. It was observed that the mass loss of PBXs containing FKM and FK 800 matrices occurred in three steps. The mass loss of PBXs containing fluoroplastic F-32L and fluororubber SKF 32 occurred in two steps. Kinetics were investigated through non-isothermal TG at different heating rates for the first step of degradation by means of model-free Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) methods. The activation energies calculated by applying FWO method are in good agreement and very close to those obtained by KAS method. The results revealed that the effect of the polymer matrices on the thermal degradation reaction of TATB was significantly observed especially different outcomes of kinetic parameters. The reaction models for degradation were also studied by Criado method. The reaction models are probably best described by the power law and diffusion models.

Abstract

The synthetic potential of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b] [1,5]thiazepine-1,1,4-trione-2-carbohydrazide (5) which resulted from ethyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b] [1,5]thiazepine-2-carboxylate (3), on its oxidation with H₂O₂/AcOH followed by treatment with NH₂NH₂.H₂O, was exploited to provide an access to 2-triazolo, 2-oxadiazolo, and 2-pyrazolo substituted derivatives of 1,5-benzothiazepin-4-oxo-1,1-dioxides (6–10), respectively.     

Grafting onto Wool. XXVII. Graft Copolymerization of MixeD Vinyl Monomers by Use of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate as Redox Initiator

In order to ascertain the effect of a donor monomer, vinyl acetate (VAc), on the graft copolymerization of acceptor monomers, ethyl acrylate (EA) and butyl acrylate (BA), grafting of mixed vinyl monomers (EA + VAc) and (BA + VAc) was carried out on Himachali wool in aqueous medium using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a redox initiator. Graft copolymerization was carried out at different temperatures for various reaction periods. Percent grafting and percent efficiency were determined as functions of 1) concentration of mixed vinyl monomers, 2) concentration of CAN, 3) concentration of HNO₃ 4) temperature, and 5) reaction time. VAc, the donor monomer, was found to decrease percent grafting of EA and BA onto wool.     

A two-step stimulus-response cell-SELEX method to generate a DNA aptamer to recognize inflamed human aortic endothelial cells as a potential in vivo molecular probe for atherosclerosis plaque detection

Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that are capable of binding wide classes of targets with high affinity and specificity. Their unique three-dimensional structures present numerous possibilities for recognizing virtually any class of target molecules, making them a promising alternative to antibodies used as molecular probes in biomedical analysis and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, cell-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) has been used extensively to select aptamers for various cell targets. However, aptamers that have evolved from cell-SELEX to distinguish the “stimulus-response cell” have not previously been reported. Moreover, a number of cumbersome and time-consuming steps involved in conventional cell-SELEX reduce the efficiency and efficacy of the aptamer selection. Here, we report a “two-step” methodology of cell-SELEX that successfully selected DNA aptamers specifically against “inflamed” endothelial cells. This has been termed as stimulus-response cell-SELEX (SRC-SELEX). The SRC-SELEX enables the selection of aptamers to distinguish the cells activated by stimulus of healthy cells or cells isolated from diseased tissue. We report a promising aptamer, N55, selected by SRC-SELEX, which can bind specifically to inflamed endothelial cells both in cell culture and atherosclerotic plaque tissue. This aptamer probe was demonstrated as a potential molecular probe for magnetic resonance imaging to target inflamed endothelial cells and atherosclerotic plaque detection.

Metal and Non-metal Based Catalysts for Oxidation of Organic Compounds

The oxidation of organic compounds is of extreme importance in synthetic chemistry. The catalysts provide high selectivity towards the oxidation products employing with the oxidants. This review is not intended to give a complete survey of all oxidation catalysis reactions by different catalysts but rather to give a summary of some important catalytic oxidation reactions by different metal and non-metal based catalysts.
