High-load, soluble oligomeric carbodiimide: synthesis and application in coupling reactions

A facile preparation of a high-load, soluble oligomeric alkyl cyclohexylcarbodiimide (OACC) reagent via ROM polymerization from commercially available starting materials is described. This reagent is exploited as a coupling reagent for esterification, amidation, and dehydration of carboxylic acids (aliphatic and aromatic) with an assortment of alcohols (aliphatic primary, secondary, and benzylic), thiols, phenols, and amines (aliphatic primary, secondary, benzylic, and aromatic/anilines), respectively. Following the coupling event, precipitation with an appropriate solvent (Et(2)O, MeOH, or EtOAc), followed by filtration through a SPE provides the products in good to excellent yield and purity.     

Interactions and corrosion mitigation prospective of pyrazole derivative on mild steel in HCl environment

The effectiveness of 1H?pyrazole?3,5?dicarboxylic acid 5?benzyl ester 3?phenyl ester (PCBPE) as a preventer for deterioration of IS 513 Gr. D steel in 1 M HCl medium is evaluated via weight loss, electrochemical impedance, and polarization techniques. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters assessed the feasibility of the adsorption process at diverse temperatures. The inhibition action on mild steel has been enhanced with increasing PCBPE concentration. It is found from the polarization studies that PCBPE behaves as mixed type inhibitor in HCl medium. The adsorption process of PCBPE on mild steel surface from acid environment is favoured Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The shielding efficiency of PCBPE has been enhanced at elevated concentrations, and it has been diminished at amplified temperatures. The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS) were used to establish a surface characterization of metal specimens. A quantum chemical analysis of electron density distributions in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) demonstrated how the inhibitor undergoes adsorption on mild steel in 1 M HCl. All experimental findings substantiate the corrosion mitigation performance of PCBPE on mild steel in acidic environments.     

Sound wave propagation through incompressible flows

This paper derives a variable coefficient, multidimensional Burgers equation which models the propagation of a nonlinear sound wave through an incompressible background flow. The equation is derived from the compressible Euler equations by the combination of a weakly nonlinear acoustics expansion for the sound wave and an incompressible expansion for the background flow. The main effect of the incompressible flow on the sound wave is the advection of the sound wave by the transverse velocity component of the flow.

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Related Substances of Lacidipine,an Antihypertensive Drug

Five related substances (impurities) were detected in lacidipine bulk drug substance by a simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) and were identified by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These related substances were independently synthesized, characterized, and co-injected with the sample containing impurities.     

High-load, ROMP-generated oligomeric bis-acid chlorides: design of soluble and insoluble nucleophile scavengers

[reaction: see text] An efficient strategy for scavenging a host of nucleophiles utilizing an oligomeric bis-acid chloride (OBAC), generated from the ROM polymerization of trans-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarbonyl dichloride, is described. The reactivity and high load of the OBAC reagent is exploited in the scavenging of amines, alcohols, and thiols that are present in excess following a common benzoylation event. Following the scavenging event, these oligomers can be precipitated with EtOAc and filtered (SiO(2)), leaving benzoylated nucleophiles in excellent yield and purity.     

High-load, oligomeric phosphonyl dichloride: facile generation via ROM polymerization and application to scavenging amines

A new ROMP-derived scavenging reagent, oligomeric phosphonyl dichloride (OPC), with high-load and selectivity is reported. This reagent can be readily generated via the ROM polymerization of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-ylphosphonic dichloride, which is conveniently assembled from the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and vinyl phosphonic dichloride. The OPC has been exploited in the rapid, efficient scavenging of primary and secondary amines that are present in excess following a common benzoylation event at room temperature (30-60 min) or under microwave conditions in shorter duration (<5 min).
