十四烷基芳基磺酸盐形成的分子有序组合体

以表面张力法、碘光谱法、水增溶法和相态图法研究了自制的三种十四烷基芳基磺酸盐在不同条件下形成的分子有序组合体(胶束、反胶束和微乳液),并考察了分子结构、溶剂、无机盐和短链醇等对其的影响.结果表明:增加十四烷基芳基磺酸盐分子亲油基支化度,不利于其在水溶液或混合极性溶剂(乙二醇-水)中形成胶束而有利于其在非极性溶剂正庚烷中形成反胶束;溶剂极性的降低,促使表面活性剂溶液由胶束溶液→单体溶液→反胶束溶液转变;无机盐或短链醇的加入促进了水溶液中胶束的形成,且反离子价态数或醇烷基碳原子数越大,越有利于胶束形成;无机盐浓度的增加导致表面活性剂/正丁醇/正辛烷/NaCl/水形成的微乳液体系在一定温度下发生由WinsorI→WinsorIII→WinsorII型的转变.     

Difluoroalkylamines from high temperature vapor phase reactions of nitrogen trifluoride with alkanes, ethers and benzene

At temperatures around 400 °C, nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) readily reacts with alkanes and benzene as well as ethers. In all cases, products were N,N-difluoroamines. This is in contrast to difluoroamination of benzylic substrates where the initial N,N-difluoroamines underwent eliminations or rearrangements and were not isolated. Cyclic and acyclic alkanes generated N,N-difluoroaminoalkanes. Benzene substituted on the ring to form N,N-difluoroaniline. Ethers reacted to generate α-N,N-difluoroamino ethers. Little direct fluorination was observed.     

Investigations providing a plausible mechanism in the hexamethyldisilazane-catalyzed trimerization of alkyl isocyanates

Using HMDS as catalyst for the trimerization of isocyanates presents many advantages as the expected isocyanurate is not contaminated by the catalyst or other side-products resulting from its degradation. In addition, HMDS presents a low toxicity, and is compatible with industrial applications. This article describes the hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-catalyzed trimerization of octylisocyanate. Experimental investigations and mechanistic considerations indicate that the true catalyst of the trimerization is trimethylsilyloctylamine, which results from the preliminary condensation of HMDS with octylisocyanate.     

Oxidation of Organometallic Compounds

Stable organometallic compounds, notably of the later transition metals (groups VI–VIII), usually are characterized by closed shell electron configurations (typically 18-electron valence shells) which are destabilized by electron addition or removal. One-electron oxidation of such compounds results in the formation of unstable radical ions, whose characteristic reactivity patterns include susceptibility to nucleophilic attack, disproportionation, and metal-carbon bond dissociation. Two-electron oxidation may result in dissociation or oxidation of the organic ligand. In this review studies on the chemical and electrochemical oxidations of metal carbonyls, metal-olefin complexes, and alkyl transition-metal compounds are described. The studies encompass the following themes: (1) The kinetics and thermodynamics of the initial redox steps; (2) The characterization and reactivity patterns of the resulting oxidation products; (3) The synthetic and catalytic applications of organometallic redox processes.     

Synthesis of Highly Functionalized 1-Azadienes and Ketenimines

Summary. The 1:1 reactive intermediate generated by the addition of alkyl isocyanides to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates was trapped by fairly strong NH-acids such as carbazole, indole, or pyrrole to yield highly functionalized 1-azadienes and ketenimines.     

Poly(4-vinylpyridine) catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl bromide to methanol and dimethyl ether

The hydrolysis of methyl bromide with neutral water is performed in the presence and absence of various amines in a batch reactor at different temperatures (50–125 °C). Screening of poly(4-vinylpyridine) as a potential reusable solid amine catalyst showed maximum efficiency. This significant enhancement in efficiency is due to the capture of HBr by solid PVP and remains phase-separated driving the reaction forward. The major advantage of this process is that the polymer can be easily regenerated and reused without loss of activity making it a very effective catalyst for the conversion of methyl halides to methanol and dimethyl ether.     

Synthesis and Properties of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Diorganotin(IV): Part(VII) – Synthesis and Characterisation of Some Antibacterial Dibenzoylmethane Diorganotin(IV)‐O‐alkyl Trithiophosphates

A series of some new mixed ligand complexes have been synthesized with an objective for evaluation as antimicrobials. Reactions of diorganotin(IV) dichloride with dibenzoyl methane and O‐alkyl trithiophosphates in a 1:1:1 molar ratio in refluxing benzene yield products of the type [PhCOCHCOPh]R₂Sn‐[SSH(S)POR'] [where R = Me, Bu, Ph; R' = Me, Et, Prⁱ, Buⁱ, Ph]. The newly synthesized complexes are light yellow colored crystalline solids, non‐volatile, soluble in common organic solvents, monomeric in nature and highly sensitive towards atmospheric moisture. These complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectral studies. Spectral studies of these complexes indicate that dibenzoyl methane and O‐alkyl trithiophosphate moieties are bidentate and the central tin atom is hexacoordinated in nature. A few of these compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity using standard drugs.     

Modular Total Synthesis of (–)‐Palmyrolide A and (+)‐(5S,7S)‐Palmyrolide A via Ring‐Closing Metathesis and Alkene Isomerization†

A pentamodule assembly approach has been established for total synthesis of the naturally occurring (–)‐palmyrolide A and (+)‐5,7‐epi‐palmyrolide A. By using the racemic tert‐butyl carbinol‐containing alkyl iodide, the two diastereoisomeric macrolides could be obtained from the same sequence of reactions, demonstrating the flexibility of the multimodule assembly strategy for diverted total synthesis.
