SNAr reactions of β-substituted porphyrins and the synthesis of meso substituted tetrabenzoporphyrins

Reaction of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin with LiR reagents containing functional groups readily yields meso substituted derivatives suitable for further transformations with residues such as -p-C₆H₅Br, -p-C₆H₅-CCH, -p-C₆H₅-NH₂ or -(CH₂)₃-CHCH₂. Similar reactions of tetrabenzoporphyrin with alkyllithium reagents afforded the first entry into meso mono- and dialkylsubstituted tetrabenzoporphyrins while reaction of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-type masked isoindole precursors with LiR followed by in situ retro-Diels-Alder reaction also afforded the 5-phenyl and 5,10-diphenyltetrabenzoporphyrins in high purity.     

Supramolecular assemblies from single-chain hydrocarbon fluorocarbon hybrid bolaamphiphiles

Three types of single-chain hydrocarbon fluorocarbon hybrid bolaamphiphiles were synthesized.They readily formed different kinds of organized supramolecular assemblies,including vesicles,tapes,and micellar fibers,in aqueous solution.The aggregates morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after negative staining.The superstructures of these aggregates seemed to be determined by the geometry and the head group's properties of the corresponding amphiphiles.     

Electrochemical Amination in the System Ti(IV)–NH2OH–C6H6: The Efficiency of the Process in a Sulfuric Acid Solution Containing an Organic Solvent

Electrolysis of the system Ti(IV)–NH₂OH–C₆H₆ in an 11 M H₂SO₄ solution shows that using an organic solvent (acetic acid, acetonitrile) during cathodically initiated amination of aromatic substrates permits the production of aromatic amines with the overall yield by hydroxylamine reaching 91%. Due to a chain mechanism of radical substitution, the benzene amination in electrolytes containing 5 M CH₃COOH and 5.5 M CH₃CN terminates largely upon consuming 70–75 and 50–55% of the charge required theoretically for a one-electron process. The maximum efficiency of electrochemical amination is observed at low hydroxylamine conversions and the overall current efficiency for mono- and disubstituted products of the benzene amination may exceed in these conditions 750%.

Hydrogen Effect on Coke Removal and Catalytic Performance in Pre-Carburization and Methane Dehydro-Aromatization Reaction on Mo/HZSM-5

1. Introduction As an effective utilization of methane, the methane dehydro-aromatization was focused in the last decade [1-28]. Over the Mo/HZSM-5 bi- functional catalyst at high reaction temperature, methane can be converted into light aromatics (ben- zene and naphthalene) and hydrogen. Mo active species can activate the C—H bond of methane; and HZSM-5 supplies the acid sites for the oligomeriza- tion and cyclization of hydrocarbons to form aromat- ics, and suppresses the deeper condens…     

Serendipitous synthesis of a ditwistane: a one-step access!

4-tert-Butyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one dimerizes in THF solution via its kinetic enolate, leading to di-tert-butylditwistane 8 in up to 36% yield (−78 °C → room temp., protonolysis, flash chromatography). X-ray crystallography shows that 8 incorporates one R and one S enantiomer of the starting ketone; none of the diastereomeric ditwistanes epi-8, epi’-8 or iso-8 was isolated. This means that the formation of 8 proceeds with mutual kinetic resolution and 100% induced diastereoselectivity.

Reactions of (η6-Arene)tricarbonylchromium Complexes: Hydrogenation,Nitration, and Bromination

In this study, we explore the reactions of coordinated arenes, e.g., hydrogenation, nitration, and bromination, to prepare compounds which are not accessible from conventional organic synthesis. The reaction products formed from reactions with the coordinated and the uncoordinated arenes are compared. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) employed for this study include phenanthrene, methyl- and acetyl-phenanthrene, and benz[a]anthracene (BA), The tricarbonylchromium group demonstrated various characteristics which influence the reactions in this work, such as an electronic effect to deactivate hydrogenation, a steric effect to exhibit, highly positional selective nitration, and a free radical mechanism to direct bromine to attack at the ring coordinated to tricarbonylchromium.     

Synthesis of triphenylene derivatives by Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling/intramolecular CH activation between arylboronic acids and dibromobiphenyls

An efficient and regioselective synthesis of functionalized triphenylenes via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and subsequent intramolecular CH activation between arylboronic acids and dibromobiphenyls was developed. This methodology showed excellent atomic economy and regiospecificity as well as synthetic feasibility of unsymmetrical triphenylenes.     

Rigid aromatic fractal polyamides

The preparation of rigid aromatic, highly branched polyamides is described. Owing to the method of preparation and the chosen ratio of difunctional to trifunctional monomers, these entities are highly porous and not dendrimeric in nature. They better conform with the fractal model and are therefore called fractal polyamides (FPs). The effects of variations in the polymerization procedure, in total monomer concentration, in the ratio of amine to carboxyl groups and in the duration of the polycondensation reaction are investigated. Some characterization was performed and the results are presented and briefly discussed.
