[FeIII(F20‐tpp)Cl] Is an Effective Catalyst for Nitrene Transfer Reactions and Amination of Saturated Hydrocarbons with Sulfonyl and Aryl Azides as Nitrogen Source under Thermal and Microwave‐Assisted Conditions

[Fe^III(F₂₀‐tpp)Cl] (F₂₀‐tpp=meso‐tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato dianion) is an effective catalyst for imido/nitrene insertion reactions using sulfonyl and aryl azides as nitrogen source. Under thermal conditions, aziridination of aryl and alkyl alkenes (16 examples, 60–95 % yields), sulfimidation of sulfides (11 examples, 76–96 % yields), allylic amidation/amination of α‐methylstyrenes (15 examples, 68–83 % yields), and amination of saturated C? H bonds including that of cycloalkanes and adamantane (eight examples, 64–80 % yields) can be accomplished by using 2 mol % [Fe^III(F₂₀‐tpp)Cl] as catalyst. Under microwave irradiation conditions, the reaction time of aziridination (four examples), allylic amination (five examples), sulfimidation (two examples), and amination of saturated C? H bonds (three examples) can be reduced by up to 16‐fold (24–48 versus 1.5–6 h) without significantly affecting the product yield and substrate conversion.     

SPES/PWA/SiO_2复合质子交换膜的性能

以磺化聚醚砜(SPES)为基体,以不同比例的SiO2溶胶与磷钨酸(PWA)为掺杂物,制备了一种有望用于直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)的新型SPES/PWA/SiO2有机-无机复合膜,并经热失重分析(TGA)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、扫描电镜(SEM)-X射线能谱分析(EDX)等对膜的结构和性能进行了表征,探讨了复合膜用作质子交换膜的可能性.结果表明:复合膜较纯SPES膜具有更高的热稳定性、玻璃化转变温度和吸水率;虽然在室温和电池操作温度(80℃)下,复合膜的拉伸强度均低于纯SPES膜,但即使当SiO2含量高达20%(w)时,复合膜的拉伸强度仍高于Nafion112膜的;SEM图片显示SiO2和PWA在膜中分布均匀,这将有利于连续质子传输通道的形成.对于SiO2含量为15%(w),PWA含量为6%(w)的复合膜,其室温质子传导率达到了0.034S·cm-1,与Nafion112膜的相当,但其甲醇渗透率明显降低,仅为商用Nafion112膜的七分之一左右,这表明该复合膜在直接甲醇燃料电池中具有良好的应用前景.     

苯并噁嗪/环氧树脂/4,4′-二氨基二苯砜三元共混体系玻璃化转变温度的研究

采用动态热机械分析(DMA)研究了苯并噁嗪/环氧树脂/4,4′-二氨基二苯砜(DDS)三元共混体系玻璃化转变温度(Tg)与固化剂DDS含量的关系.随着DDS含量的增加,三元体系的交联密度呈现先增加后降低的变化趋势,介于聚苯并噁嗪和苯并噁嗪/环氧树脂体系之间;但是三元体系的Tg却逐渐降低,当DDS的含量超过20 mol%时,低于聚苯并噁嗪的Tg.差示扫描量热法(DSC)的结果表明,DDS对苯并噁嗪和环氧树脂都有很强的固化效果.通过测定体系的凝胶化时间,借助Arrhenius方程,判断三元体系的初始反应过程,推测了固化体系可能的网络化学结构.对各体系DMA曲线中损耗模量,储能模量和力学损耗因子的变化情况分析,结果表明体系最终Tg受氢键相互作用、交联密度和网络规整性以及链段的刚性等因素综合影响,其中氢键的类型和相互作用的强弱对Tg的影响最大.     

Direct Cu‐Catalyzed Allylic Acetoxylation of Δ5‐Steroids at 7‐Position

The efficiency and selectivity of Cu‐catalyzed allylic acetoxylation of alkene in different solvent systems is improved by the presence of different metallic salts in the reaction medium. The methodology is particularly well employed for the direct allylic acetoxylation of Δ⁵‐steroids at 7‐position, for which the resulting acetoxylated product obtained was exclusively α‐isomer. Excellent yield was achieved (up to 90%) under optimized conditions, while significantly reducing the costs and environmental hazards and increasing the yield as compared to the other previously reported methods.

Modeling of thermodynamic behavior of PVT properties and cloud point temperatures of polymer blends and polymer blend + carbon dioxide systems using non-cubic equations of state

In recent years, many factors influencing phase behavior of polymer blends have been studied because of their widely technological importance, as a simple method of formulating new materials with tailored properties which make them suitable for a variety of applications. This work has three main goals which were reached by using the Perturbed Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) and the Sanchez–Lacombe (SL) non-cubic equations of state (EoS), which in previous works have shown their ability to handle long chain and associating interactions. First, both equations of state were tested with the correlation of the specific volumes of pure blends (PBD/PS, PPO/PS, PVME/PS, PEO/PES) and the prediction of the specific volumes for blends; second, the modeling of blend miscibilities in the liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of PBD/PS, PPG/PEGE, PVME/PS, PEO/PES, and PnPMA/PS blends; third, the modeling of the phase behavior of PS/PVME blends at various compositions in the presence of CO₂. PC-SAFT and SL pure-component parameters were regressed by fitting pure-component data of real substances (liquid pressure–volume–temperature, PVT, data for polymers and vapor pressure and saturated liquid molar volume for CO₂) and the fluid phase behavior of blend systems were simulated fitting one binary interaction parameter (k_ij) by regression of experimental data using the modified likelihood maximum method. Results were compared with experimental data obtained from literature and an excellent agreement was obtained with both EoS, which were also capable of predicting the fluid phase behavior corresponding to the critical solution temperatures (LCST: lower critical solution temperature, UCST: upper critical solution temperature) of blends.     

A highly α-regioselective In(OTf)3-catalyzed N-nucleophilic substitution of cyclic Baylis-Hillman adducts with aromatic amines

The highly α-regioselective N-nucleophilic substitution of B-H adducts bearing five (1a-f) or six-membered ring (5a-e) moieties with aromatic amines (2a-e) was developed under the catalysis of In(OTf)₃ (10 mol%). During the reaction the allylic rearrangement from γ-product to α-product occurred, resulting in thermodynamically stable α-product predominately.     

Polyketide Building Blocks via Diastereoselective Nitrile Oxide Cycloadditions with Homoallylic Alcohols and Monoprotected Homoallylic Diols

A modular approach to Δ²‐isoxazolines, latent aldol adducts and polyketide building blocks, is reported. The magnesium‐mediated, hydroxyl‐directed method allows for the diastereoselective access to a wide variety of masked β‐hydroxy ketones, starting from readily available aliphatic and aromatic oximes, homoallylic alcohols and monoprotected homoallylic diols. The utility of the prepared Δ²‐isoxazolines as polyketide building blocks is demonstrated by their ready conversion into the corresponding β‐hydroxy ketones. The anti‐diastereoselectivity of the reaction was established by derivatization, NOE studies and comparison of known compounds. A rationale for the observed diastereoselectivity is proposed.
