Oxalate-2-ethanolamine complexes of some bivalent cations (Mn,Co, Ni,Cu, Zn and Cd)

On the refluxing ofM(II) oxalate (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn or Cd) and 2-ethanolamine in chloroform, the following complexes were obtained: MnC₂O₄·HOCH₂CH₂NH₂·H₂O, CoC₂O₄·2HOCH₂CH₂NH₂, Ni₂(C₂O₄)₂·5HOCH₂CH₂NH₂·3H₂O, Cu₂(C₂O₄)₂·5HOCH₂CH₂NH₂, Zn₂(C₂O₄)₂·5HOCH₂CH₂NH₂·2H₂O and Cd₂(C₂O₄)₂·HOCH₂CH₂NH₂·2H₂O. Following the reaction ofM(II) oxalate with 2-ethanolamine in the presence of ethanolammonium oxalate, a compound with the empirical formula ZnC₂O₄·HOCH₂CH₂NH₂·2H₂O¹ was isolated. The complexes were identified by using elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction patterns, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The IR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction patterns showed that the complexes obtained were not isostructural. Their thermal decompositions, in the temperature interval between 20 and about 900°C, also take place in different ways, mainly through the formation of different amine complexes. The DTA curves exhibit a number of thermal effects.     

Activities of Individual Ions From Infinite Dilution to Saturated Solutions

A new procedure, which provides a closer approximation for the junction potentials than the Henderson equation, is tested to reduce new emf data for the chloride ion in CsCl solutions and previously measured data for individual ions in aqueous solutions of KCl, NaCl, and NaBr. The liquid junction potential is calculated from numerical integration of its basic equation without assuming constant mobility or using concentrations instead of activities. The mean ionic activity coefficients of the salts, obtained from the activity coefficients of the individual ions, show good agreement with values reported in the literature. The activity coefficients of the individual chloride ion at 25°C in aqueous solutions of CsCl up to 3 molal and in KCl solutions were measured using a chloride ion-selective electrode. It has been confirmed that the activity of the chloride ion is equal to the activity of the cation in CsCl solutions and, contrary to the prediction of hydration theory, it is higher than the activity of the cation in aqueous KCl solutions. The New Hydration Theory has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of the older hydration theory and has been used to smooth the experimental activity coefficients of the individual ions in aqueous solutions and to extrapolate them up to the saturated solution.     

Novel (E)- and (Z)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles from (E)- and (Z)-3-styrylchromones: the unexpected case of (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles

An efficient synthetic method for the preparation of (E)- and (Z)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles has been developed. The reaction of (E)- and (Z)-3-styrylchromones with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding (E)- and (Z)-4-styrylpyrazoles, respectively, saved 4′-nitro-derivatives where both (E)- and (Z)-4′-nitro-3-styrylchromones afforded (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles. The reaction mechanism for these transformations was discussed and the stereochemistry of all products was assigned by NMR experiments.     

Improving the rate of convergence of interior point methods for linear programming

This paper proposes a procedure for improving the rate of convergence of interior point methods for linear programming. If (x ^k ) is the sequence generated by an interior point method, the procedure derives an auxiliary sequence ( ). Under the suitable assumptions it is shown that the sequence ( ) converges superlinearly faster to the solution than (x ^k ). Application of the procedure to the projective and afflne scaling algorithms is discussed and some computational illustration is provided.     

Synthesis and antimalarial effects of 2-(3,4-dichloroanilino)-7-[[[(dialkylamino)alkyl]amino]]-5-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

3,4-Dichlorophenylisothioeyanate ( 10 ) was allowed to react with 2-methy1-2-thiopseudourea to give methyl 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)(dithioaltophanimidate ( 11 ) (41%), which upon treatment with hydrazine afforded 3-amino-5-(3,4-dichloroanilino)-s-triazole ( 12 ) (54-91%). Ring-closure with ethyl acetoacetale in acetic acid afforded 2-(3,4-dichloroanilino)-5-methyl-s-triazolo[ 1,5-α ]-pyrimidin-7-ol ( 13 ) (81%). Chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride gave 7-chloro-2-(3,4-dichloroanilino)-5-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-α ]pyrimidine ( 14 ) (98%), which was condensed with various amines to yield the desired 2-(3,4-diehloroanilino)-7-¶[(dialkylamino)alkyl]arnino¶-5-methyl-s-triazolo[ 1,5-α]pyrimidines ( 6 a-d). The structures of the s-triazolo[ 1,5-α ]pyrimidines were based on nmr spectroscopy and ring stability considerations. Several of the amino-s-triazolo[ 1,5-α ]pyrimidines possessed antimalarial activity against P. berghei in mice.     

Calorimetric study of room temperature adsorption of N2O and CO on Cu(II)-exchanged ZSM5 zeolites

Copper ion-exchanged ZSM5 zeolites have been prepared with different cooper loadings from under- to over-exchanged levels. The adsorptions of N₂O and CO at 303 K have been studied using calorimetric method and infrared spectroscopy. The samples were additionally characterised by ammonia adsorption at 423 K. The active sites for both N₂O and CO are Cu(I) ions, which were formed as a result of pre-treatment in vacuum at 673 K.

Room temperature adsorption of nitrous oxide at low equilibrium pressures (up to 66.7 Pa) resulted in small amounts of chemisorbed N₂O (<0.2 molecule per one Cu ion). Differential heats of N₂O adsorption between 80 and 30 kJ/mol were obtained. Differential heats of CO adsorption between 140 and 40 kJ/mol were obtained. The obtained amounts of chemisorbed species in the investigated systems and the values of differential heats of both nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide demonstrate the dependence on the copper content.     

Visible-light-induced synthesis of phosphorylated N-heterocycles through proton-coupled electron transfer

正Phosphorus-containing organic compounds are important feedstock for the synthesis of value-added bioactive molecules. Therefore, the development of highly efficient synthetic methods for the construction of phosphorus-element bonds has drawn huge attention in the past decades [1].Particularly, the formation of P–C bonds from phosphoruscentered radicals has been demonstrated to be one of the most efficient and convenient strategies, which has been widely applied for the synthesis of organic phosphorus compounds in recent years.     

Revisiting the Chemistry of Vinylpyrazoles: Properties,Synthesis, and Reactivity

Vinylpyrazoles, also known as pyrazolyl olefins, are interesting motifs in organic chemistry but have been overlooked. This review describes the properties and synthetic routes of vinylpyrazoles and highlights their versatility as building blocks for the construction of more complex organic molecules. Concerning the reactivity of vinylpyrazoles, the topics surveyed herein include their use in cycloaddition reactions, free-radical polymerizations, halogenation and hydrohalogenation reactions, and more recently in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, among other transformations. The current state of the art about vinylpyrazoles is presented with an eye to future developments regarding the chemistry of these interesting compounds. Styrylpyrazoles were not considered in this review, as they were the subject of a previous review article published in 2020.
