Geminale Azo- und Heteroelement-Funktionen,II: α-Substituierte 2-(4-Chlorphenylazo)-propan-Derivate

The reaction of acetone-4-chlorophenylhydrazone (6) with bromine in the presence of acetamide yields 2-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenylazo)-propane (7) and 2,2-bis(4-chlorophenylazo)propane (8). The unstable heteroallylic bromide7 was subjected without isolation to nucleophilic displacements with a series of heteronucleophiles thereby affording the corresponding 2-(4-chlorophenylazo)-2-propane derivatives9 with the azo- and heteroelement-functions in a geminal position to each other.

A practical access to novel 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones via sulfur/nitrogen displacement under solvent-free microwave irradiation

A new effective approach to the synthesis of a small library of 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones was reported using solvent-free reaction conditions under microwave irradiation. In the first step, rhodanines were subjected to Knoevenagel condensation with aryl aldimines according to a facile one-pot protocol. Then the (5Z)-5-arylidene rhodanine derivatives were transformed directly into the corresponding 2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones by sulfur/nitrogen displacement reaction under microwaves with retention of configuration and good overall yields.     

TheT g displacement measurements: A way to foresee the physical behaviour and the use of glassy polymers

The effect of ageing temperature (belowT _g) on physical ageing of glassy PET has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The position of the glass transition endotherm was found to be strongly dependent on the annealing conditions (time, annealing temperature). A single relaxation time model is proposed for the analysis of physical ageing.The variations of the equilibrium relaxation time _iso with annealing temperature allow the determination of the parameters of the model. Finally, using these constants, one can determine the thermal past and foresee the thermal future of unknown samples which are of prime importance in processes using temperatures around the glass transition temperature.

Zusammenfassung Mittels DSC wurde der Einfluß der Alterungstemperatur (unterhalbT _g) auf das physikalische Altern von glasartigen PET untersucht. Die Lage der Glasumwandlungsendothermen hängt stark von den Temperungsbedingungen (Dauer, Temperungstemperatur) ab. Es wird ein Relaxationszeitmodell für die Analyse physikalischen Alterns vorgeschlagen.Die Parameter dieses Modelles knnen aus der Änderung der Gleichgewichtsrelaxationszeit _iso mit der Temperungstemperatur ermittelt werden. Unter Benutzung dieser Konstanten kann die thermische Vergangenheit unbekannter Proben bestimmt und die thermische Zukunft derselben vorhergesagt werden, was für Vorgänge bei Temperaturen um den Glasumwandlungspunkt von primärer Wichtigkeit ist.

     

Determining PPARγ-ligand binding affinity using fluorescent assay with cis-parinaric acid as a probe

Upon the study of small-molecules binding to proteins, the traditional methods for calculating dissociation constants (Kd and Ki) have shortcomings in dealing with the single binding site models. In this paper, two equations have been derived to solve this problem. These two equations are independent of the total concentration or initial degree of saturation of receptor and the activity of the competitive molecule. Through nonlinear fitting against these two equations, Kd value of a probe can be obtained by binding assay, and Ki value of a ligand can be obtained by competitive assay. Moreover, only the total concentrations of receptor([R]t), ligand([L]t) and probe([P]t) are required for the data fitting. In this work, Ki values of some typical ligands of PPARγ were successfully determined by use of our equations, among which the Ki value of PPARγ-LY171883 was reported for the first time.     

Finkelstein Reaction in Functionalized Crown-ether Ionic Liquids

Recent years, crown ethers have been used in many fields, including phase transfer catalysis, chromatography stationary phase, ionselective electrode, and concentration of metal ions, etc1.. However, the toxicity of free crown ethers makes them unsuitable for industrial use2. Introduction of a crown ether as a functional group to functionalized ionic liquids has been reported3. These functionalized ionic liquids will combine the excellent properties of crown ether and ionic liquids without los…     

Mechanical behaviour of biodegradable agricultural films under real field conditions

The mechanical behaviour of various types of biodegradable materials depends on their chemical composition and additives, the processing characteristics and the application conditions. The environmental conditions during storage and usage of these materials strongly influence their mechanical properties and behaviour. Ageing and degradation during the useful lifetime of biodegradable agricultural films causes losses in the mechanical performance of the material, as measured by monitoring the evolution of some of the critical mechanical properties. Such losses may be comparable to the corresponding losses of the conventional polyethylene agricultural films due to ageing, or they may be more drastic. In the present paper, the overall mechanical and ageing/degradation behaviour of experimental specially designed and manufactured low-tunnel and mulching biodegradable films, exposed to full-scale field conditions is analysed. Selected critical mechanical properties of these films manufactured with different grades of Mater-Bi material and additives, different thickness and processing schemes and exposed to real cultivation conditions in four different locations in Europe are investigated in the laboratory and compared against the corresponding behaviour of conventional agricultural films at various stages of their exposure time.     

Binding of Benzyltrimethylammonium Bromide and its Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium Homologues by β-Cyclodextrin in Water

The binding constants, K′, for the reaction between some alkyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide homologues (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, decyl, and dodecyl, respectively) and β-cyclodextrin in water at 25.0 ± 0.1 ^∘C have been determined, by applying the spectral displacement technique with phenolphthalein as the displacing anion. It has been shown that the ln K′ values increase linearly with the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain for the salts whose alkyl chain has at least four carbon atoms. The ln K′ values estimated for the parent compound benzyltrimetylammonium bromide and its two nearest homologues are distinctly lower than might be expected by extrapolation of the linear relation found for the higher homologues. Assuming that it is the organic cation that undergoes association with β-cyclodextrin, then one may suppose that a change occurs in the mode of inclusion of the cation upon passing to higher homologues. In the case of the lighter homologues, it is the phenylene group that undergoes inclusion. This model of inclusion is confirmed by analysis of rotating-frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) spectra.
