Computational evaluation concerning the deviation of the atoms in 1- and 4-postions on the six-member ring and the effects on 1HNMR chemical shift

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out on some cyclohexane derivatives to investigate the deviation atoms on the 1- and 4-positions of chair plane. The deviations of chair plane of two position in the cyclohexane derivatives were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31 ++ G(d,p) level. Furthermore, we investigated the correlation between deviations of two positions from chair plane on the chemical shift hydrogen atoms on the 4-position.     

A One Pot,Facile, and Convenient Synthesis of Some Coumarin Derivatives

Protonation of the reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by substituted phenols lead to vinyl triphenylphosphonium salt, which undergoes aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction with the phenolate conjugated base to produce coumarin derivatives.     

以蛋壳为原料制备的纳米氧化钙用于高效催化合成吡喃并[4,3-b]吡喃简

Nano-CaO was prepared by calcination of ball-milled chicken eggshell waste. This novel, bioactive, heterogeneous catalyst, which had high catalytic activity and reusability, was used in the green synthesis of pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans via condensation of various aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one at 120℃ under solvent-free conditions. The reaction proceeded to completion within 5-45 min in 93%-98% yield. The nano-CaO was fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric, surface area, and elemental analyses.     

Phosphorus pentoxide supported on silica gel and alumina (P2O5/SiO2, P2O5/Al2O3) as useful catalysts in organic synthesis

Phosphorus pentoxide supported on silica gel or alumina (P₂O₅/SiO₂, P₂O₅/Al₂O₃) has been used in many organic transformations as versatile solid catalysts. These catalysts have received considerable attention as an inexpensive, eco-friendly, highly reactive, easy to handle and non-toxic acid catalyst for various organic transformations, affording the corresponding products in excellent yields and high selectivity. In this review, some applications of these catalysts in organic reactions are discussed.     

Lower Bounds for the Principal Eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian on the Unit Ball

Abstract

In this paper, by the sub-super solution method we provide explicit lower bounds for the principal eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian on the unit ball. We compare our results with those of earlier studies and also demonstrate that they are in good agreement with numerical results.     

Cu(II) Schiff base complex supported on Fe3O4 nanoparticles as an efficient nanocatalyst for the selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols

Herein, we have prepared a new Cu(II) Schiff base complex supported onto the surface of modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as highly stable, heterogeneous and magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst for the selective aerobic oxidation of different alcohols. The structure, morphology, chemical composition and magnetic property of the nanocatalyst and its precursors were characterized using FT‐IR, TGA, AAS, ICP‐AES, XRD, SEM, EDS, VSM and N₂ adsorption–desorption analyses. Characterization results exhibited the uniform spherical morphology for nanocatalyst and its precursors. A promising eco‐friendly method with short reaction time and high conversion and selectivity for oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols under O₂ atmosphere condition was achieved. The synthesized nanocatalyst could be recovered easily by applying an external magnetic field and reused for least eight subsequent reaction cycles with only negligible deterioration in catalytic performance.

Abstract  Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to determine boron-11 and nitrogen-14 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy parameters in the three most stable B₂₄N₂₄ fullerenes for the first time. The considered samples were first allowed to relax entirely, and then the NMR and NQR calculations were performed on the geometrically optimized models.
