Anionic synthesis of poly[ethylene methylene bis(4-phenyl-carbamate)-g-acrylonitrile]

A relatively high-molecular-weight polyurethane based on MDI and ethylene glycol was prepared and characterized. This polymer was metalated with sodium hydride in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at about 0°C. Metalation was confirmed principally by spectroscopic identification of the N-methyl derivative obtained by coupling the metalated polymer with methyl iodide. Under appropriate reaction conditions the metalated polyurethane was used for the anionic graft polymerization of the reactive monomers acrylonitrile and ethylene and propylene sulfides. Attempted anionic graft polymerizations with other monomers, including styrene and ethylene and propylene oxides, were unsuccessful. The polyurethane grafted with acrylonitrile was separated by fractionation from accompanying small amounts of polyacrylonitrile, a low-molecular-weight homopolymer. One sample of polyurethane grafted with acrylonitrile was identified by microanalysis, IR, NMR, and increase in weight and was also characterized by differential thermal analysis.     

A convenient and regioselective oxidative bromination of electron-rich aromatic rings using potassium bromide and benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate under nearly neutral reaction conditions

Regioselective oxidative bromination of electron-rich aromatic rings has been studied using potassium bromide as a bromine source in the presence of benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate as oxidant under nearly neutral reaction conditions. In most cases we obtained monobrominated derivatives regioselectively and in good to high yields without the aid of strong acids.     

Facile protection of carbonyl compounds as oxathiolanes and transoxathioacetalization of oxyacetals promoted by iron(III) trifluoroacetate or trifluoromethanesulfonate as chemoselective and recyclable catalysts

Oxathioacetalization of carbonyl compounds and transoxathioacetalization of O,O-acetals/ketals are reported under nearly neutral conditions promoted by iron(III) trifluoroacetate [Fe(CF₃CO₂)₃] or trifluoromethanesulfonate [Fe(CF₃SO₃)₃] as recyclable and highly efficient Lewis acid catalysts.     

A new characteristic approach for incompressible thermo‐flow in Cartesian and non‐Cartesian grids

A virtual‐characteristic approach is developed for thermo‐flow with finite‐volume methodology in which a multidimensional characteristic (MC) scheme is applied along with artificial compressibility. To obtain compatibility equations and pseudo‐characteristics, energy equation is taken into account in the MC scheme. With this inherent upwinding of convective fluxes, no artificial viscosity is required even at high Reynolds numbers. Another remarkable advantage of the MC scheme lies in its faster convergence rate with respect to the averaging scheme that is found to exhibit substantial delays in convergence. As benchmarks, forced and mixed convections in a cavity and in flow over cylinder and between parallel plates are examined for a wide range of Reynolds, Grashof, and Prandtl numbers. The MC and averaging schemes are applied for simulation purposes. Results show the better performance of the MC scheme in forced and mixed convections. Results confirm the robustness of the MC scheme in terms of accuracy and convergence. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Convenient Method for Dethioacetalization of 1,3-Dithiolanes and 1,3-Dithianes Using Benzyltriphenylphosphonium Peroxymonosulfate in Aprotic Solvent

13-乙酰基-9-甲基-11-羰基-8-氧代-10,12-二氮杂三环[7.3.1.02,7]十三碳-2,4,6-三烯的一锅煮合成和结构表征

An efficient and environmentally friendly procedure for the one-pot synthesis of 13-acetyl-9-methyl-11-oxo-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo7.3.1.02,7trideca-2,4,6-triene from salicylaldehyde, acetylacetone and urea via Biginelli condensation and intramolecular Michael-addition by using magnesium bromide as an inexpensive and easily available catalyst in a solvent-free condition is described. The structural elucidation of the product is reported by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. The product can also be identified by its EI TOF mass spectrometry based on the molecular ion at m/s 246(10%) and on the fragment ions in which two nitrogen atoms are remained. Three kinds of characteristic fragmentation pathways from the molecular ion were observed. One is the loss of the OH radical to form the dihydropyrimidinone cation at m/z 229(48%), followed by elimination of a molecular methane forming the pyrimidinone cation at m/z 213(27%). The second is the cleavage of the C6H4OH radical, and the formation of the dihydropyrimidinone cation at m/z 153(24%). The third one is the loss of MeC=O radical to afford the oxygen-bridged fragment ion at m/z 203(33%).
