An efficient synthesis of medicinally important indole based triarylmethanes by using propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P®)

Abstract

We have developed an economical and efficient method for the synthesis of medicinally and synthetically important indole-based triarylmethanes by using indoles and benzhydrols in the presence of propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P^®). This methodology is an alternate approach for the C–C bond formation with good to excellent yields. In this T3P-mediated dehydration approach, the by-product is highly soluble in water, so that it can be done at larger scale also. In addition to that this efficient protocol has several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, short reaction time and operational simplicity. We have successfully synthesized pyrrole, imidazothiadiazole and imidazolo pyridine based triarylmethanes also.     

The vesicular cleavage of activated phosphate esters by hydroxide and fluoride ions — artifactual endovesicular reactions

Previously reported endovesicular reactions in the cleavage of $\text{p}$-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate by hydroxide (or fluoride) ions in vesicles of dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide appear to be artifacts.     

Canonical splittings of groups and 3-manifolds

We introduce the notion of a `canonical' splitting over or for a finitely generated group . We show that when happens to be the fundamental group of an orientable Haken manifold with incompressible boundary, then the decomposition of the group naturally obtained from canonical splittings is closely related to the one given by the standard JSJ-decomposition of . This leads to a new proof of Johannson's Deformation Theorem.

     

Synthesis of nanocrystalline and mesoporous zinc sulphide from a single precursor Zn(SOCCH3)2Lut2 complex

We report the formation of mesoporous zinc sulphide, composed by the fine network of nanoparticles, which was formed via a single precursor Zn(SOCCH₃)₂Lut₂ complex. The complex was chemically synthesized using zinc carbonate basic, 3,5-lutidine and thioacetic acid, in air. The metal precursor complex was characterized using different conventional techniques. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) result indicates that the decomposition of the complex starts at 100 °C and continues up to 450 °C, finally yielding ZnS. ZnS nanocrystals were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), N₂-sorption isotherm, UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The grain diameter of nanocrystals was found to be 4-5 nm. The material followed Type-IV N₂-sorption isotherm, which is the characteristic of mesoporous materials. The band gap energy, as obtained from optical measurements was around 3.8 eV.     

A study of the concentration of micro and macro nutrients in blenderised liquid diet in nasogastric feeding

Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the amount of macro (Na, K, P, Ca) and trace elements (Fe, Co, Zn, Mo, Se) present in the blenderised liquid diet in nasogastric feeding of patients having throat cancer.     

Geometric and electronic structures of peroxomanganese(III) complexes supported by pentadentate amino-pyridine and -imidazole ligands

Three peroxomanganese(III) complexes [Mn(III)(O(2))(mL(5)(2))](+), [Mn(III)(O(2))(imL(5)(2))](+), and [Mn(III)(O(2))(N4py)](+) supported by pentadentate ligands (mL(5)(2) = N-methyl-N,N',N'-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, imL(5)(2) = N-methyl-N,N',N'-tris((1-methyl-4-imidazolyl)methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, and N4py = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-bis(2-pyridyl)methylamine) were generated by treating Mn(II) precursors with H(2)O(2) or KO(2). Electronic absorption, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and variable-temperature, variable-field MCD data demonstrate that these complexes have very similar electronic transition energies and ground-state zero-field splitting parameters, indicative of nearly identical coordination geometries. Because of uncertainty in peroxo (side-on η(2) versus end-on η(1)) and ligand (pentadentate versus tetradentate) binding modes, density functional theory (DFT) computations were used to distinguish between three possible structures: pentadentate ligand binding with (i) a side-on peroxo and (ii) an end-on peroxo, and (iii) tetradentate ligand binding with a side-on peroxo. Regardless of the supporting ligand, isomers with a side-on peroxo and the supporting ligand bound in a tetradentate fashion were identified as most stable by >20 kcal/mol. Spectroscopic parameters computed by time-dependent (TD) DFT and multireference SORCI methods provided validation of these isomers on the basis of experimental data. Hexacoordination is thus strongly preferred for peroxomanganese(III) adducts, and dissociation of a pyridine (mL(5)(2) and N4py) or imidazole (imL(5)(2)) arm is thermodynamically favored. In contrast, DFT computations for models of [Fe(III)(O(2))(mL(5)(2))](+) demonstrate that pyridine dissociation is not favorable; instead a seven-coordinate ferric center is preferred. These different results are attributed to the electronic configurations of the metal centers (high spin d(5) and d(4) for Fe(III) and Mn(III), respectively), which results in population of a metal-peroxo σ-antibonding molecular orbital and, consequently, longer M-O(peroxo) bonds for peroxoiron(III) species.     

Evidence of Dynamical Fluctuation of Target Residues in Relativistic Nuclear Interaction at 14.5 AGeV

An analysis of data of target fragments of ²⁸Si-AgBr (at 14.5 AGeV) reveals the existence of emission asymmetry in the azimuthal plane, which is found to depend on the number of target fragments. The comparison with the data of ³²S-AgBr (at 200 AGeV) and ¹⁶O-AgBr (at 60 AGeV) interactions indicates that emission asymmetry depends on the projectile mass and energy.     

A note on the paramagnetic resonance of free radical

Paramagnetic resonance in a free radical, Diphenyl-Picryl-Hydrazyl, has been studied and the results are compared with those of other workers. Low temperature work indicated that the transition from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic state should occur at 1° K.     

Two parabolic generator kleinian groups

This paper is concerned with torsion-free Kleinian groups that are generated by two parabolic transformations. Our main result is that every such group of the second kind is geometrically finite; this is in response to a question raised by Riley. We also show that in the natural one (complex) dimensional setting, the space of torsion-free Kleinian groups of the second kind is path-connected.
