Polystyrene-supported recyclable palladacycle catalyst for Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira reactions

A new type of soluble polystyrene-supported palladium complex as an excellent and recyclable palladacycle catalyst was discovered for carboncarbon bond formation in Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira reactions. Precipitation and filtration process for recycling the catalyst was also achieved.     

Chemoselective reduction of a lactam carbonyl group in the presence of a gem-dicarboxylate by sodium borohydride and iodine: a facile entry to N-aryl trisubstituted pyrroles

Several N-aryl γ-lactam gem dicarboxylates were chemoselectively reduced to cyclic amine diesters by using sodium borohydride-iodine system. The reduction in all cases was completed within 2.5 h after refluxing in THF. The cyclic amine products were isolated after aqueous (acidic) workup in good yields. Hydrolytic decarboxylation followed by dehydrogenation produced N-aryl carboethoxy pyrroles.     

Kinetic deoxyribose degradation assay and its application in assessing the antioxidant activities of phenolic compounds in a Fenton-type reaction system

Pro-oxidant properties of phenolic antioxidants, which are derived from their iron recycling reactivity, render the traditional deoxyribose degradation assay invalid to assess the hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity in Fenton-type reaction systems. In the present paper, we studied in detail the interactions between iron and phenolic compounds, and established a kinetic deoxyribose method by taking advantage of the distinct difference between the completion time of Fenton reaction and that of the iron-reducing process. With the newly established kinetic method, we investigated the effects of phenolics on hydroxyl radical formation in a Fenton-type system and determined successfully the second rate constants of hydroxyl radical-scavenging reactions. The site-specific and non-site-specific hydroxyl radical-scavenging ability suggested that both direct hydroxyl radical-scavenging potency and iron-chelating capacity accounted for their inhibitory effects on deoxyribose oxidation degradation. This method, more simple, time saving, and applicative than the traditional deoxyribose assay, produces as accurate results (RSD<0.05, with dynamic range from 7.5 to 575 μM) as typical methods, such as radiolysis technology, and may be of significance in evaluating and screen the hydroxyl radical-scavenging antioxidants.     

Oxygen uptake by isotactic polypropylene of different morphological structure

Oxygen uptake by isotactic polypropylene was studied at temperatures below melting point, on samples of various degrees of crystallinity and spherulite size. Diffusion coefficients and activation energy of diffusion were calculated. It is suggested that the dependence of the rate of oxygen uptake on the morphological structure of polymer samples can result from different values of the interspherulitic amorphous phase fraction, which is more easily accessible to oxygen than the interlamellar fraction.     

Interaction of vinylpyridines with 1,3-dienes catalyzed by transition metal complexes

The linear and cyclic cooligomerization of 2-vinyl-, 2-methyl-5-vinyl-, and 4-vinylpyridines with 1,3-dienes and trienes catalyzed by complexes of transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Cr, Pd, Ru, Rh, and Zr) was carried out to give unsaturated pyridines containing alkenyl and cycloalkenyl substituents.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Air microwave-induced plasma: Relation between ion density and atomic oxygen density

Electron temperature and ion density are measured in an air microwave-induced plasma (2450 MHz) by means of a floating double probe. A 'cinetic scheme for ion formation and decay is set up, and a relationship between atomic oxygen and ion densities is obtained. From this relationship an order-of-magnitude of atomic oxygen concentration in the discharge is derived and compared with results obtained by optical actinometry in another work.

Novel Pyridazine Fused Heterocyclic System: A New Route for the Synthesis of 2‐Alkyl/Aryl[1,3,4]Thiadiazole[2′,3′:2,3] Imidazo[4,5‐d]Pyridazin‐8(7H)‐One

A series of novel imidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole fused pyridazinones have been synthesized in moderate yields by the reaction of 2‐alkyl/arylimidazo[2,1‐b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole‐6‐carbohydrazides under Vilsmeier–Haack reaction conditions. This simple methodology has utility for the synthesis of various fused heterocyclic systems.
