2-(10-Diazo-10H-anthracen-9-ylidene)-malonodinitrile: A convenient precursor of 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes

Summary The acid promoted decomposition of 2-(10-diazo-10H-anthracen-9-ylidene)-malonodinitrile in the presence of water, methanol, ethanol, acetic and propionic acid, ethyl thioglycolate,p-thiocresole, and acetyl acetone yielding 9,10-disubstituted 9,10-dihydroanthracenes was investigated. Treatment of the reaction products with tri-ethyl amine followed by hydrochloric acid caused their tautomerization to the corresponding 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes. A mechanism for this reaction is proposed. The first example of an intermolecular C-C-bond formation during the protic acid promoted decomposition of a diazo compound in the presence of CH-acids was found. An improved procedure for the preparation of the starting diazo compound, which may serve as a convenient precursor of 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes, is described.Cordially dedicated to Prof. Dr.K.

The modulation of face-face π-π interactions in Lewis acid catalysis

The enantiomeric excess observed for the exo-adduct from the Lewis acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methacrolein can be increased up to 21% by simple modification of the electronics of the aromatic ring in a series of stilbene-derived diol ligands, suggesting that the proposed face-face π-π interaction between the catalyst and the dienophile can be modulated by altering the electron density on the aromatic ring.

纳米二氧化锆在甲醇合成催化剂Cu/Ga2O3/ZrO2中的作用

The introduction of mesoporous nanosize zirconia to the catalyst for methanol synthesis dedicates the nanosized catalyst and mesoporous duplicated properties. The catalyst bears the larger surface area, larger mesoporous volume and more uniform diameter, more surface metal atoms and oxygen vacancies than the catalyst prepared with the conventional coprecipitation method. The modification of microstructure and electronic effect could result in the change of the reduced chemical state and decrease of reducuction temperature of copper, donating the higher activity and methanol selectivity to the catalyst. The results of methanol synthesis demonstrate that the Cu^＋ is the optimum active site. Also, the interaction between the copper and zirconia shows the synergistic effect to fulfil the methanol synthesis.

An improved nicotinic pharmacophore and a stereoselective CoMFA-model for nicotinic agonists acting at the central nicotinic acetylcholine receptors labelled by [3H]-N-methylcarbamylcholine

A study of a series of compounds with agonistic effect at the alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors resulted in an improved pharmacophore model as well as a CoMFA model. The pharmacophore was composed of three pharmacophoric elements: (1) a site point (a) corresponding to a protonated nitrogen atom, (2) a site point (b) corresponding to an electronegative atom capable of forming a hydrogen bond, and (3) the centre of a heteroaromatic ring or a C=O bond (c). The pharmacophoric elements were related by the following parameters: (a-b) 7.3-8.0 A, (a-c) 6.5-7.4 A, and the angle between the two distance vectors (delta bac) 30.4-35.8 degrees. In addition to this, a stereoselective CoMFA model was developed, which showed good predictability even for compound classes not present in the training set.     

A density functional theory study of the gas-phase elimination reactions of 4-arylideneimino-1,2,4-triazol-3(2H )-ones and their 3(2H )-thione analogues

Theoretical studies on the thermolysis in the gas phase of 4-arylideneimino-1,2,4-triazol-3(2H)-ones and 4-arylideneimino-1,2,4-triazol-3(2H)-thiones were carried out using density functional theory methods, at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) levels of theory. The proposed reaction mechanism occurs in one step, leading to the formation of 3-hydroxy-(2H)-1,2,4-triazole or 3-mercapto-(2H)-1,2,4-triazole and a 4-substituted benzonitrile, via a six-membered cyclic transition state. The progress of the reactions was followed by means of the Wiberg bond indices. The results indicate that the transition states have character intermediate between reactants and products, and the calculated synchronicities show that the reactions are slightly asynchronous, in the case of triazolones, and show a higher asynchronicity in the case of triazolthiones. The bond-breaking processes are slightly more advanced than the bond-forming ones, indicating a small bond deficiency in the transition states. Kinetic and activation parameters for the reactions studied have been calculated and compared with available experimental data.From the Proceedings of the 28th Congreso deQuímicos Teóricos de Expresión Latina (QUITEL 2002)     

First synthesis of an α-d-Fucp3NAc containing oligosaccharide: a study on d-Fucp3NAc glycosylation

3-Acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-d-galactopyranose (d-Fucp3NAc) is an aminosugar almost exclusively found in phytopathogenic O-antigens. The glycosylation reaction involving d-Fucp3NAc donors was studied with several rhamnosyl acceptors, revealing that the best yields and highest α-stereoselectivity were obtainable by coupling a N-phenyl trifluoroacetimidate glycosyl donor in a ternary mixture (dioxane/DME/toluene 4:1:1) as solvent. For the first time a synthetic access to α-d-Fucp3NAc containing oligorhamnans, that are interesting molecules for studying the effects of O-antigen model oligosaccharides on the modulation of plant response to bacteria, was reported. An example is the pentasaccharide repeating unit of the major O-antigen component from Pseudomonas syringae pv. holci IMV 8300, which was synthesized as its methyl glycoside.
