Stereochemical control of reductions. 9. Haptophilicity studies with 1,1-disubstituted 2-methyleneacenaphthenes

A series of 1-methyl-2-methyleneacenaphthenes has been synthesized, bearing an additional variable substituent (R) at the 1-position. These compounds have been hydrogenated in ethanol over a 5% Pd/C catalyst under standardized conditions in order to assess the haptophilicity of R, its ability to enforce addition of hydrogen from its own face of the molecule by coordination to the catalyst surface. The order of decreasing haptophilicity, assessed as the product epimer ratio, for the groups studied was R = CH(2)NH(2), CH(2)NMe(2), CH(2)OH, CHNOH, CH(2)OMe, CHO, CONH(2), CH(2)NHCOMe, COOK, COMe, CN, CONHOH, COOH, COOMe, COONa, COOLi. Because knowledge of group haptophilicities offers potential for stereochemical control in such reductions, comparisons are provided with haptophilic orders found in other molecular systems. It is shown that absolute haptophilicities can be manipulated by varying the dielectric constant of the solvent employed.     

Nitrogen doped nano porous graphene as a sorbent for separation and preconcentration trace amounts of Pb,Cd and Cr by Ultrasonic assisted in‐syringe dispersive micro solid phase extraction

Nitrogen doped nano porous graphene was used as an efficient sorbent in solid‐phase extraction process for simultaneous separation and pre‐concentration of metal ions lead (II), cadmium(II), and chromium(III)) in biological samples. Ultrasonic assisted in‐syringe dispersive micro solid phase extraction coupled with micro sampling atomic absorption spectrometry was utilized for the determination of metal ions. Nitrogen doped nano porous graphene was synthesized as a nano sorbent by chemical vapour deposition method. Methane and aniline were used as carbon and nitrogen sources. The characterization of sorbent was performed by field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, fourier transform infrared, chemical element analysis and raman analysis. Effective parameters on the extraction efficiency such as pH, sorbent dosage, eluent volume and eluent concentration were optimized by central composite design and desirability function. Experimental results indicate that the optimal conditions for this extraction were pH = 6.4, 1.42 mg of sorbent, 100 μL of eluent, and 0.84 mol L^‐1 of eluent concentration. The detection limits are as low as 1.5, 0.3 and 0.9 μg L^‐1 for lead, cadmium, and chromium, respectively. The intra‐day precisions were 3.6, 4.38 and 2.94 and Inter‐day precision were 4.83, 5.26 and 4.52 for lead, cadmium, and chromium, respectively. Method performance was investigated by determination of mentioned heavy metals in complicated biological matrixes such as human plasma, urine and saliva samples with good recoveries.     

Rearrangement of O,O’-bis(2-benzylideneaminophenyl) phenylphosphonite into 1,6,7-triphenyl-3,4:9,10-dibenzo-2,11-dioxa-5,8-diaza-1-phosphatricyclo[6.3.0.01,5]undeca-3,9-diene

Keeping of O,O’-bis(2-benzylideneaminophenyl) phenylphosphonite in a CCl4 solution for 50 days resulted in its spontaneous rearrangement into 1,6,7-triphenyl-3,4:9,10-dibenzo-2,11-dioxa-5,8-diaza-1-phosphatricyclo[6.3.0.01,5]undeca-3,9-diene, a representative of spirophosphoranes with P–N bonds.

A Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Highly-Functionalized Stable Heterocyclic Phosphorus Ylides in Aqueous Media

Phthalimide or succinimide undergo a reaction with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine to produce highly-functionalized stable heterocyclic phosphorus ylides in good yields in water-tetrahydrofuran (6:1). This methodology is of interest because of the use of water as solvent, thus minimizing the cost, operational hazards, and environmental pollution.     

Effects of pyrolysis temperatures on the textural,magnetic, morphology,and catalytic properties of supported nickel nanoparticles

The development of base metal catalysts for industrially important reactions continues to be an important goal of catalysis research. Herein, the effects of pyrolysis temperature on the textural, structural, surface, magnetics properties and catalytic properties of silica-supported nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) were thoroughly investigated. Mono-dispersed NiNPs encapsulated in graphitic shells were first successfully obtained and were characterized using a variety of methods such as BET surface area measurement, CO-pulse chemisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurement. The findings showed that all catalysts’ properties were considerably altered with change in pyrolysis temperature. Hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene was then selected as the model reaction for the evaluation of the catalytic performance of the graphitic-shelled NiNPs. After testing, pyrolysis of a nickel at 800 °C (catalyst A) displayed tremendous activity and selectivity to produce >94% of stilbene with selectivities of 99% for the Z-isomer.     

Preparation of Fe3O4@5,10‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐7,8‐diol copper complex: A capable nanocatalyst for the green synthesis of 1‐substituted 1H‐tetrazoles

Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with 5,10‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐7,8‐diol were synthesized as was their complex with copper as a novel nanomagnetic iron oxide catalyst via a simple and green method, and characterized using various techniques. The capability of the catalyst was evaluated in the one‐pot three‐component synthesis of different tetrazoles, which showed very good results. Mild reaction conditions, good reusability and simple magnetic work‐up make this methodology interesting for the efficient synthesis of tetrazoles.
