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.     

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…

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.     

Application of particles as pseudo-stationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography

Since the introduction of micelles by Terabe et al. (1984), many different species have been employed as carriers for electrokinetic chromatography. As it is not possible to separate uncharged solutes or ions with equal mobility in capillary electrophoresis, these phases are added to introduce or improve selectivity.

This review surveys the application of particles as pseudo-stationary phases. Up to now only very few applications exist based either on polymer particles for the separation of catechols and primary amines or silica-based material. With these particles separations are shown for phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and naphthalene derivatives. The characteristic properties of particles as pseudo-stationary phases and their benefits as well as their limitations are discussed.     

Electron impact induced fragmentation of aromatic N-alkoxy-imines I. Ring closure in (M-CH2O)+• ions by intramolecular aromatic substitution

Summary N-Butoxy- and N-propoxy-imines derived fromo-,m-, andp-substituted benzaldehydes (X = F, Cl, Br, I) decompose upon electron impact to the respective aldoximes by loss of C _n H_2n and competitivelyvia 1,5-distonic radical cations by loss of CH₂O to 1,3-distonic ions which eliminate H and/or a halogen atom in the course of homolytic aromatic substitution, giving rise to cyclic (M-CH₂O-H)⁺ or (M-CH₂O-X )⁺ ions.Dedicated with warm regards to Prof. Dr.D. Seebach, Zürich, on the occasion of his 60^th birthday     

Speed of Sound, Isentropic Compressibilities, and Excess Molar Volumes of Binary Mixtures Containing p-Dioxane

The speed of sound u in and densities of eight binary mixtures of p-dioxane (p-C₄H₈O₂) with methylcyclohexane (c-C₆H₁₁CH₃), 1-chlorohexane (C₆H₁₃C1), 1-bromohexane (C₆H₁₃Br), p-xylene [C₆H₄(CH₃)₂], propylbenzene (C₆H₅C₃H₇), methyl acetate CH₃COOCH₃), butyl acetate (CH₃COOC₄H₉), and amyl acetate (CH₃COOC₅H₁₁) were measured over the whole composition range at 30°C. Isentropic compressibilities (K _S), Rao's molar sound functions (R), excess molar volumes (V ^E), excess isentropic compressibilities (K _S ^E ) together with relative change in volume V/₁₂ values, have been obtained for all measured mole fractions. The excess partial molar volume (V₁-V ₁ ⁰ ) of p-dioxane in different solvents have also been estimated. The experimental results have been analyzed in terms of the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory of solutions.
