Allylation of Aromatic Aldehyde under Microwave Irradiation

Allylation of carbonyl compounds is one of the most interesting processes for the preparation of homoallylic alcohols. Over the past few decades, many reagents have been developed for such reactions[1～3]. In this paper, we first report allylic zinc reagent 1, which can be prepared from zinc dust and allyl bromide conveniently in THF, and reacted with aromatic aldehyde to give homo-allylic alcohols under microwave irradiation.

The first metal (Nd3+, Mn2+, and Pb2+) coordination compounds of 3,5-dinitrotyrosine and their nonlinear optical properties

The reactions of 3,5-dinitrotyrosine (H2DNTY) with Nd(NO3)3.6H2O, Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O, and Pb(OAc)2 afforded three homochiral compounds: discrete [Nd(Hdnty)2(NO3)(H2O)5].3H2O (1) and two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers, [Mn(Hdnty)2] (2) and [Pb(dnty)(0.5 H2O)] (3), respectively. The Nd atom in 1 displays a tricapped trigonal prism and supramolecular weak interactions, such as pi-pi stacking and H-bonds, between amino and nitro groups result in the formation of a three-dimensional network through these interactions. 2 has a two-dimensional square-grid topological net while 3 has the first three-dimensional homochiral ThSi2 net. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first metal coordination compounds with 3,5-dinitrotyrosine. Preliminary second harmonic generation (SHG) investigations indicated that 1 and 2 are SHG active with estimated responses 5 and 6 times larger than that of urea, respectively, while 3 is SHG non-active (obeying the Klainman symmetry requirement). Strong enhancement of their SHG efficiency, compared with H2DNTY, may be due to 1) the addition of a good donor-pi-acceptor organic chromophore into the compound resulting in superior qualities of both inorganic and organic materials and 2) the H-bonds that persist in them.

不同氧化态的离子掺杂对limn2o4电化学性能的影响

以CH3COOLi·2H2O、(CH3CO2)2Mn·4H2O、氧化物和柠檬酸为原料,采用流变相法经过2次灼烧后得到了不同氧化态离子掺杂的尖晶石化合物LiMn1.95M0.05O4(M:Li,Mg,Co,Ti,V)。通过X射线衍射测试技术对合成的产物物相进行表征,所得产物均具有纯相尖晶石结构。同时应用软件计算了其晶格常数,结果发现金属离子的掺杂不同程度地减少晶格大小。通过循环伏安法研究发现,在4V区域有2步可逆过程发生,对应于锂离子的脱嵌。掺杂的金属离子对于峰电位以及峰面积都有影响。Mn3 的含量越低,峰的面积越小。金属离子与氧的键能越大,峰电位越高。50次充放电循环测试表明,通过掺杂改性来改善尖晶石LiMn2O4的电化学性能时,在掺杂相同量阳离子的尖晶石化合物中,以选择氧化态为Co3 掺杂的化合物具有最佳的充放电容量和循环性能。

Quantification of flupirtine maleate polymorphs using X-ray powder diffraction

Flupirtine maleate,a pharmaceutical compound for treating psychotic disease in clinics,has seven polymorphs.Form A,with better crystal stability and bioavailability,has been widely used as the pharmaceutical crystal form.Unfortunately,it is usually found in a polymorphic mixture with form B.In this study,pure crystal forms of A and B were prepared and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermal analysis.An XRPD-based method for the quantitative determination of the amount of the flupirtine maleate polymorphs form A and form B was also established through a systematic optimization of instrumental parameters.The results of the analytical methodology validation showed that the XPRD method had a broad quantitative range of 0-100%(w/w),good linear relationship,with R²=0.999,excellent repeatability and precision and low limits of detection (LoD) of 0.15%(w/w) and quantification (LoQ) of 0.5%(w/w).The results also showed that the single-peak method was not as good as the whole pattern in reducing the influence of the preferred orientation,but this can be compensated for by a systematic optimization of instrumental parameters and validating the analytical methodology to reduce errors and obtain a good,repeatable,sensitive,and accurate method.This XRPD method can be used to analyze mixtures of flupirtine maleate polymorphs (forms A and B) quantitatively and control the quality of the bulk drug.
