One‐Pot Regioselective Synthesis of Novel Oximino Ester‐Containing 1‐Aryl‐4‐chloro‐3‐oxypyrazoles as Potential Fungicides

A novel, functional‐group‐tolerant, and highly regioselective one‐pot synthesis of six 4‐chloro‐1‐aryl‐3‐oxypyrazoles, 8a – 8f , containing an oximino ester moiety has been developed. Their structures were characterized by ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, IR, MS, and elemental analyses. The regioselectivity of the reaction was also determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of product 8d . The reaction pathway, proposed with the aid of DFT calculations, likely proceeds via a DMF‐catalyzed mechanism, which involves an electrophilic attack by SOCl₂ and two nucleophilic substitutions by benzyl bromide (BnBr) and Cl^?, respectively, as the key steps. A preliminary in vitro bioassay indicated that most compounds exhibited good fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Gibberella zeae. Especially, 8d and 8e displayed higher or similar fungicidal activities compared with pyraclostrobin at the concentration of 10 μg/ml.     

Synthesis and Biological Activities of 3‐Substituted Analogues of Tenuazonic Acid

A series of tenuazonic acid analogues in which the acetyl group was replaced with electron‐withdrawing substituents have been synthesized with the aim of obtaining molecules with various bioactivities. Substituents such as cyano, sulfonyl, and amido were introduced at the 3‐position of the pyrrolidine‐2,4‐dione nucleus of tenuazonic acid. 3‐Cyano and sulfonyl pyrrolidine‐2,4‐dione compounds ( 2 and 6 ) were prepared via a Dieckmann cyclization as key step. 3‐Amido pyrrolidine‐2,4‐dione compounds ( 9 ) were prepared by a microwave‐assisted amidation reaction from corresponding 3‐carboxylate derivative. The target compounds were evaluated; their herbicidal, fungicidal, and insecticidal activities, and the preliminary bioassay data showed that some 3‐cyanopyrrolidine‐2,4‐diones 2 gave good insecticidal activity, whereas some 3‐amido compounds 9 exhibited moderate to strong fungicidal activity against Pythium dissimile at 20 mg/L.     

Study of 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition and Ring Contraction of New 1,4‐Phenylene‐bis[1,5]benzothiazepine Derivatives

Some 1,4‐phenylene‐bis[1,2,4]oxadiazolo‐[5,4‐d][1,5]benzothiazepine derivatives ( 4a , 4b , 4c ) were synthesized by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction of benzohydroximinoyl chloride with 1,4‐phenylene‐bis(4‐aryl)‐2,3‐dihydro[1,5]benzothiazepine ( 2a , 2b , 2c ); meanwhile, compounds 2a , 2b , 2c also occurred ring contraction under acylating condition to obtain bis[2‐aryl‐2′‐(β‐1,4‐phenylenevinyl)‐3‐acetyl]‐2,3‐dihydro[1,5]benzothiazoles ( 3a , 3b , 3c ). The structures of some novel compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H‐NMR, elemental, and X‐ray crystallographic analysis.

The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR MS, and elemental analysis.     

An Efficient Synthesis of Isoxazoles and Pyrazoles under Ultrasound Irradiation

A series of 5‐arylisoxazole and 5‐aryl‐1H‐pyrazole derivatives was synthesized by the reaction of 3‐(dimethylamino)‐1‐arylprop‐2‐en‐1‐one with hydroxylamine hydrochloride or hydrazine hydrate under ultrasound irradiation without using any catalyst. This method has the advantages of easier work‐up, mild reaction condition, high yields, shorter reaction time, and environmentally benign procedure.     

Investigation on Photophysical Properties of D–π–A–π–D‐Type Fluorenone‐Based Linear Conjugated Oligomers by Using Femtosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

The effects of π‐spacer and electron donor groups on the photophysical behaviors of fluorenone‐based linear conjugated oligomers have been systemically investigated. Solvent‐dependent steady‐state measurements exhibit that the fluorene vinylene (FV) spacer and the electron‐donating ability of donor group are able to modulate the spectral features of oligomers and the fluorescence quantum yield could decrease with the increasing of the solvent polarity. Meanwhile, quantum chemical calculation simulates their absorption spectra, and analyzes their electron transition components simultaneously. The transient absorption measurements focus on the photoexcitation dynamics of these oligomers in the toluene solution, which show that an intramolecular charge transfer state exists in the relaxation process of excited states, and its generation process could accelerate with the introduction of FV spacer and the enhancement of donor strength.     

Investigation on “Excimer” Formation Mechanism of Linear Oligofluorenes‐Functionalized Anthracenes by Using Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

We study the photophysical characters of two oligofluorenes‐functionalized anthracenes molecules with different fluorine‐vinylene (FV) units, which exhibits that “excimer” state appears in the solution after photoexcitation. The dynamic data shows that two mechanisms are responsible for the generation of “excimer”. The fast one is controlled by the arene‐arene interaction between molecules and the slow one is influenced by the diffusion motion of molecules. Increasing the number of FV units may suppress the DM‐dependent “excimer” and enhance the yield of intrinsic fluorescence, which finally improves the fluorescence property of molecules in solution.

A new three‐dimensional (3D) porous framework [Zn(INAIP)] · DMA · H₂O ( 1 ) [INAIP = 5‐(isonicotinamido)isophthalate, DMA = N,N′‐dimethylacetamide] was synthesized by solvothermal methods and characterized by single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction, as well as thermogravimetric analysis. The results of X‐ray diffraction analyses revealed that complex 1 has an unusual 3D architecture with the (3,6)‐connected rutile ( rtl ) topology. The adsorption behavior shows that compound 1 exhibits selective adsorptions of CO₂ over N₂ after the removal of the solvent molecules within the pores.
