DEM-FEM coupled numerical investigation of granular materials to increase crashworthiness of double-hull vessels

In this contribution, a novel design strategy is investigated for improving the crashworthiness of double-hull vessels, which involves usage of granular materials. For numerical simulation, a framework based on coupling of the Discrete Element and the Finite Element Method is used to study load bearing capacity of granular materials during uniaxial compression. In addition, the effect of Young's modulus of particles is also investigated with respect to the load transferability. (© 2016 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Pyridazine Derivative and Related Compound,Part 18:1 Pyridazino [3′,4′:3,4]pyrazolo [5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylic Acid: Synthesis,Reactions, and Antimicrobial Activity

A series of 3-substituted pyridazino[3′,4′:3,4]pyrazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazens have been synthesized starting from the 3-carboxylic acid derivative 2. The reaction of the acid chloride 3 with amines gave the corresponding anilides 4. The reaction of 2 with ethyl chloroformate and sodium azide in the presence of triethyl amine gave the carbonyl azide 5, which underwent a Curtius rearrangement in boiling ethanol to afford the carbamate 6, which converted to the 3-amino derivative 7 upon alkaline hydrolysis, and the reaction with acid chloride resulted in N-substituted products 9. On other hand, the reaction of the carboxylic acid 2 with POCl₃ and thiosemicarbazide afforded 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative 13. The condensation of 13 with aldehydes furnished 14 in a good yield. The products were screened for their antimicrobial activity against six microorganisms.     

One-Pot Stereoselective Synthesis of Alkyl (Z)-2-[4-Oxo-3-phenyl-2-(phenylimino)-1,3-thiazolan-5-yliden]acetates from Acetylenic Esters and N,N′ -Diphenylthiourea

N, N′ -diphenylthiourea reacts with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in acetone to form 1:1 adducts, which undergo a cyclization reaction to produce alkyl (Z)-2-[4-oxo-3-phenyl-2-(phenylimino)-1,3-thiazolan-5-yliden]acetates in fairly good yields. NMR spectra indicated that the reaction is completely stereoselective.     

Organotin(IV) Complexes of 2-[(2′,4′,6′- Trichlorophenylamido)]benzoic Acid: Synthesis,Coordination Chemistry,and Semi-Empirical Study

A new series of organotin(IV) complexes of aniline derivatives, R₂SnL₂ and R₃SnL [where R = Me, n-Bu, n-Oct, and Ph], have been synthesized by the reaction of ligand acid with respective organotin halides in the presence of triethylamine as base or dioctyltin oxide using a Dean–Stark trap for the removal of water under reflux conditions. Experimental details for the preparation and characterization, including elemental analysis, IR, semi-empirical study, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn spectra and EI mass spectral studies) of all reported complexes are provided. The IR data indicate that in both di- and triorganotin(IV) carboxylates, the ligand moiety ?COO acts as a bidentate group in the solid state. Multinuclear NMR data show that triorganotin complexes exhibits a four-coordinated geometry, while diorganotin(IV) complexes show a coordination number greater than four, probably five or six, in solution state.

Electron Ionization Mass Spectra of Organophosphorus Compounds. Part III: Mass Spectrometric Fragmentation of Diethyl Spiro[Pyrimidino[5,3′][1,2]Oxazole] Phosphonate,Diethyl (Oxazolo[5,4-D]Pyrimidine-4,6-Dione)Phosphonate,and Diethyl (Pyrimidino[4,5-B][1,4]Oxazine)Phosphonate Derivatives

Abstract

Fragmentation pathways of 14 organophosphorus compounds derived from diethyl spiro[pyrimidino[5,3][1,2]oxazole] phosphonates, diethyl (oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6-dione)phosphonates, and diethyl (pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4] oxazine)phosphonates were investigated by electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS). The intensity of the recorded molecular ion peaks showed various values depending on the nature of the compounds. Characteristic fragment ions were formed by successive loss of simple functional groups followed by decomposition of heterocycles connected to pyrimidine rings.     

Polymeric Three-Dimensional Crystal Structure of a Tributyltin(IV) Derivative with Acetylene Dicarboxylic Acid

Abstract

A novel polymeric complex has been synthesized by refluxing disodium acetylene dicarboxylate with tributyltin chloride in dry methanol. The solid-state structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The tin(IV) metal exhibits distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Each carboxylate group of the ligand acts in a bidentate fashion, linking adjacent metal atoms to produce polymeric chains, which are cross-linked into a three-dimensional network.     

One-Pot Stereoselective Synthesis of Alkyl Z-2-[2-Amino-4-oxo-1,3-selenazol-5(4H)-yliden] Acetates

Abstract

Selenourea reacts with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in acetone to form 1:1 adducts, which undergo a cyclization reaction to produce alkyl Z-2-(2-amino-4-oxo-1,3-selenazol-5(4H)-yliden) acetates in fairly good yields. The reaction is completely stereoselective.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of Alkyl Z -2-(2-Amino-4-oxo-1,3-thiazol-5(4 H )-yliden)Acetates in Solventless Conditions

Tiourea reacts with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in solventless conditions to form 1:1 adducts, which undergo a cyclization reaction to produce alkyl Z-2-(2-amino-4-oxo-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-yliden)acetates in fairly good yields. The stereochemistry of the ethyl Z-2-(2-amino-4-oxo-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-yliden)acetate was established by the use of X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The reaction is completely stereoselective.     

A Simple and Highly Efficient One-Pot Procedure for the Synthesis of Amides via Beckmann Rearrangements Using 1-Tosylimidazole (TsIm)

A facile and highly efficient method for one-pot Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into N-substituted amides using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, ketoximes are refluxed with TsIm and Cs₂CO₃ in the presence of SiO₂ as a recyclable catalyst in DMF affording the corresponding amides in high yields. This methodology is highly efficient and regioselective for various structurally diverse ketoximes including symmetrical and unsymmetrical as well as cyclic oximes. The results of quantum mechanical studies used to rationalize the experimental outcomes are discussed.     

Synthesis of Heterocyclic Pentavalent Phosphorus Compounds from Phosphite Derivatives and Indane-1,2,3-Trione

Reaction of trialkylphosphite derivatives with indane-1,2,3-trione proceeds smoothly at room temperature to afford the corresponding heterocyclic pentavalent [P(V)] phosphorus compounds via an intermolecular [4+1] cycloaddition reaction in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. We also used dimethylphosphite and diethylphosphite instead of trialkylphosphites in this reaction, but the corresponding pentavalent phosphorus compounds were not isolated, and in both cases phosphate derivatives were obtained. The structures of the products were deduced from their IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ³¹P NMR spectra, and mass spectrometry.
