The reduction of functionalized imines to yield amines is often an intricate task, since most of the methods described in the literature to reduce imines to amines do not take into account that many reducing agents have also basic character. In this way, iminic compounds that have phenol functions usually produce the phenolic salt of the precursor when they are treated with a basic reducing agent, but not the desired amine. In this work, we describe an easy way of isolating very pure aminic compounds with alcoholic functions in its structure from the corresponding iminic compounds, by using NaBH4 as a reducing agent, and avoiding tedious chromatography or multiple solvent extraction steps.

This work reports ultrasound assisted synthesis diethyl (2-(1-(morpholinomethyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) (substituted phenyl/heteryl) methylphosphonate 9(a–j) derivatives. The derivatives are synthesized using a green protocol. In the first step, 3-hydrazonoindolin-2-one is synthesized using ultrasound. In the second step, diethyl (substituted phenyl/heteryl)(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) methylphosphonate 6(a–j) derivatives are synthesized using cerric ammonium nitrate as catalyst. In the third step, diethyl (2-(1-(morpholinomethyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) (substituted phenyl/heteryl) methylphosphonate 9(a–j) derivatives are synthesized using ultrasound. Isatin, chemically known as H-indole-2,3-dione, and its derivatives possess a broad range of biological and pharmacological properties. Isatin is widely used as a starting material for the synthesis of a broad range of heterocyclic compounds and as substrates for drug synthesis. The α-amino phosphonate derivatives constitute an important class of organophosphorus compounds on account of their versatile biological activity. Morpholine moiety has been found to be an eminent pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry. A number of molecules possessing morpholine moiety are clinically approved drugs. The importance of this ring is well understood by medicinal chemists, since they play a major role in molecular properties such as an electronic distribution, three dimensionality, scaffold flexibility/rigidity, lipophilicity or polarity and metabolic stability. Considering the importance of the three pharmacophores, this promoted us to club these pharmacophores together in a single molecule using a green synthetic protocol.The structures of the ultrasound synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral analysis like IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR and MS.

New push-pull second harmonic generation (SHG) chromophores 2 were synthesized in order to study their linear and nonlinear optical properties. The donor-acceptor π-conjugated systems 2 were prepared in good to excellent yields by a simple aldol-type condensation of the precursor aldehydes 1 with 6-nitro-2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole in the presence of NaOH. Hyper-Rayleigh scattering in dioxane solutions was used to evaluate their second-order nonlinear optical properties. The experimental results showed that the optical (linear and nonlinear) properties are influenced by the electron-donor strength of the groups of the π-conjugated bridge. The vinyl-benzothiazole derivative 2b, with methoxyl as the donor group, exhibited the largest first hyperpolarizability β (1660 × 10−30 esu, 40 times greater than the standard reference pNA molecule) and the highest decomposition temperature (Td = 360 °C). The good balance between nonlinearity and thermal stability makes this compound a promising candidate as second harmonic generator (SHG) for nonlinear optics. Full article

An efficient Microwave (MW)-assisted synthesis of eight new 6-nitrilmethyl-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-ones via a domino process: aza Diels–Alder/N-acylation/aromatization (dehydration–decarboxylation) from their corresponding 2-aminonitrile-oxazoles and maleic anhydride are described. The use of MW as a heat source and scandium (III) triflate as a catalyst to promote the cycloaddition process was crucial to construct these polyfunctionalized products in very good yields (51–79%), considering both their molecular complexity and that only one domino-type experimental procedure was required for their synthesis. It is worth noting that all products reported herein have not been synthesized nor isolated anywhere. However, they can be of high interest for the synthetic and medicinal chemistry community because pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one is the structural core of various bioactive compounds. In the same context, it can be considered as a privileged aza analogue of the isoindolin-1-one, which in turn is the core of numerous anticancer agents. Full article

In continuation of our recent research on the development of novel multicomponent reactions with isocyanides, we have used, for the first time, enols as the acid components in Ugi- and Passerini-type reactions. Thus, electron-poor pyrrolidinodiones react with aldehydes, amines, and isocyanides to give the enaminic four-component adducts. Conversely, in the absence of the amine component, careful control of the reaction conditions allows the involvement of one or two molecules of isocyanide to afford, selectively, either Passerini-type or pseudo-enol-Ugi-type products. These unprecedented condensations of isocyanides, aldehydes, amines, and 4-substituted pyrrolidine-2,3-diones constitute an excellent strategy for the preparation of new biologically relevant pyrrolidinones having peptidic or pseudo-peptidic groups on carbon 3.

Ionic liquids are considered as a potential green replacement for traditional volatile organic solvents, but their impact on the environment is not sufficiently studied. The effect of the addition of aqueous solutions of different amounts (from 0% to 75%) of three ionic liquids, two based imidazolium, dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([MMIM][DMP] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) and choline dihydrogen phosphate ([Chol][DHP]) on the microbial activity of an acidic, organic soil, was determined in this work. For this propose, an isothermal microcalorimeter, TAM III of TA Instruments was used. This apparatus allows estimating the variation of the metabolic activity through the variation of the heat released after the addition of the ionic liquids (ILs) to the soil. The results showed that the most toxic IL is [BMIM][BF4] which presented a large stress effect and subsequent death on soil microorganisms for the highest concentration of the IL. On the contrary, [Chol][DHP] showed stimulation of the microbial activity for all the concentrations. Full article

Three 3-difluoroborodipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives functionalized at the meso and 2 positions were synthesized with 22–59% yield. The compounds were characterized by the usual spectroscopic techniques and a photophysical study was also undertaken. The BODIPY derivatives presented absorption bands in the 494–512 nm range and were also emissive with fluorescence bands in the 512–514 nm interval. A preliminary study on the sensing ability of a BODIPY derivative functionalized at position 2 with a benzimidazole was carried out in acetonitrile and acetonitrile/water (75:25) solutions in the presence of anions and cations, with environmental, biomedical, and analytical relevance. A highly selective response was obtained for Hg2+ and Fe3+ in acetonitrile/water solution. Full article

Through reducing the system InCl3-Li-DTBB(cat.) in THF at room temperature and in the absence of any additives or anti-caking ligand, we have synthesized indium nanoparticles (InNPs) of about 4 nm. The catalyst was employed in the allylation of carbonyl compounds, giving excellent yields of the corresponding homoallylic alcohols. We have established that the reaction products come from a γ-coupling via a six members cyclic transition state, type Zimmerman–Traxler. Relative to the selectivity, the allylation with crotyl bromide of ortho substituted benzaldehydes (e.g., o-NO2, o-OMe, o-Cl, o-CF3) showed syn selectivity. With the aim to improve the mentioned selectivity, we synthetized o-iPrO-benzaldehyde, and evaluated the reaction with crotyl bromide and InNPs. The homoallylic alcohol 1-(2-isopropoxyphenyl)-2-methylbut-3-en-1-ol was obtained almost quantitatively after 1h as a mixture of the syn- and anti- isomers. The relationship observed by 1H-RMN was 75:25, but we did not know if the syn-isomer was the dominant because the product has not been reported in the scientific literature. Based on this, and in order to determinate which 1H-NMR signals correspond to each isomer, we started computational theoretical and NMR studies. The initial conformational analysis was performed using the semiempirical PM3 method, then we work with the B3LYP functional, applying the 6-31+G* basis set and the solvent effect (chloroform) was evaluated with the PCM model as implemented in Gaussian09. So, we found thirteen low-energy conformations for the syn-diastereomer and six low-energy conformations for the anti-diastereomer. On the other hand, we have carried out NMR experiments such as 1H, 13C, HSQC, to assign the signals of each diastereomer; and experiments such as NOESY, selective NOE, JRes, homo- and hetero-nuclear J-coupled and J-decoupling, to be able to measure coupling constants and establish the structure of each diastereomer.

Xanthones are a type of compound widely found in many natural products from plants, fungi, and lichens and are considered privileged structures. Frequently, xanthones occur in nature as dimers, which often exhibit singular and potent biological effects. Although diverse methods for the synthesis of monomeric xanthones are known, dimeric xanthones remain synthetically challenging targets. Reported syntheses of dimeric xanthones are very scarce, and invariably involve a large number of synthetic steps. We have recently developed a multicomponent synthesis of xanthones starting from 3-carbonylchromones, isocyanides, and dienophiles. Here we report a similar one-pot tandem procedure, involving a [4+1]-[4+2] cycloaddition, that readily affords dimeric xanthones and dihydroxanthones, which are structurally similar to bioactive ergochromes.

This paper presents a Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) study of a series of 24 dihydropyrrole-fused and phenylazo neonicotinoid derivatives, with insecticidal activity tested against Cowpea aphids (Aphis craccivora). In this regard, the conformational search ability of the OMEGA software was employed to model neonicotinoid conformer ensembles, using molecular mechanics calculations based on the 94s variant of the Merck Molecular force field (MMFF94). The minimum energy conformers were used to calculate structural descriptors, which were further related to the insecticidal activity (pLC50 values), using the multiple linear regression (MLR) approach. The genetic algorithm was used for variable selection and several criteria for internal and external model validation. A robust model (r2 = 0.880, r2adj = 0.855, q2LOO = 0.827, s = 0.2098, F = 34.295) with predictive power (concordance correlation coefficient (CCC)ext = 0.945, r2m= 0.824) was obtained, using the QSARINS software. The developed model can be confidently used for the prediction of the insecticidal activity of new chemicals, saving a substantial amount of time and money. Full article

Anomalous WNT signaling has been observed to be related to tumor generation, and metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, compounds that inhibit this pathway are of great interest for the development of therapeutic approaches. For a better understanding of the common traits of such compounds, we have undertaken an in silico study in order to develop a valid ligand-based pharmacophore model based on a series of porcupine inhibitors. The best pharmacophore hypothesis found after the 3D QSAR validation process is represented by the following features: one hydrogen bond donor (D), three rings (R) and one hydrophobic centroid (H). The 3D-QSAR model obtained using the DRRRH hypothesis shows statistically significant parameters: correlation coefficients for the training set: R2 of 0.90, and a predictive correlation coefficient for the test set, Q2 of 0.86. The assessment of the pharmacophore model was also done and provided very reliable metrics values (Receiver Operating Characteristic—ROC of 1; Robust Initial Enhancement—RIE of 17.97). Thereby, we obtained valuable results which can be further used in the virtual screening process for the discovery of new active compounds with potential anticancer activity. Full article

The present work aims to compare two possible pathways of a pre-reaction complex in the reaction of transfer of a hydrogen atom from ammonia to a nitro compound forming. Nitrobenzene, nitromethane, and HNO2 were used as nitro compounds. The proposed paths are: nitro compound intersystem crossing with a subsequent search for a substrate, or the formation of a complex with its subsequent excitation. The calculations were performed using TDPBE0/TDA/aug-cc-pVDZ method in NWChem-6.8 program. For verification purposes, some additional calculations were performed using RASCI/aug-cc-pVDZ method in PSI4 program. The location of the levels and the geometry of the complexes shows that the triplet complex (exciplex) is more stable than the singlet complex. The weak coupling between molecules in the singlet complex indicates that the probability of its excitation is very small. Moreover, there are experimental data, where the quantum yields of such reactions reach 0.3. The presented calculations confirm the mechanism of the nitro compound intersystem crossing with a subsequent search for a substrate. Full article

Organic synthetic research laboratories generate a large amount of waste. Some of the waste is the silica gel used as the stationary phase in column chromatographic separations. Here, the authors discuss the possibility of recycling silica gel wastes thermally at 600 °C, at which temperature the remnant adsorbed organic material combusts. It could be shown that the recycled silica gel maintains its adsorption characteristics. The process could be repeated 10 times with any discernable deterioration of the separation properties of the silica gel for the product mixture of the reactions used in this research. In those cases where triphenyl oxide remained on the silica gel after the separation of the reaction mixture, such as after Wittig olefination and Appel-type reactions, an increase of phosphorus content was noted in the silica gel after thermal treatment. The original and recycled silica gel was partly analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The process significantly reduced waste production in our laboratory and also led to a reduction in costs associated with acquiring new silica gel and with the management and the disposal of spent silica gel. A simple environmental impact assessment has been carried out. Full article

Density (ρ), speed of sound (U), and the derived magnitudes of two diethylmethylammoniumionic liquids (ILs) against temperature have been studied in this work. The chosen ILs were diethylmethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate [C2C2C1N][OTf] and diethylmethylammonium methanesulfonate [C2C2C1N][MeSO3]. In order to analyze the influence of water content, saturated and dried samples of these ILs were studied. The ILs were dried using a vacuum pump, and the saturation level (28% and 6% in weight for [C2C2C1N][MeSO3] and [C2C2C1N][OTf], respectively) was achieved by keeping the ILs in an open bottle at ambient temperature. Direct measurements of density and speed of sound were taken with an Anton Paar DSA 5000. Linear equations were used to express the correlation of both properties with temperature, and the thermal expansion coefficient, αp, and the adiabatic bulk modulus constant, KS, have been also obtained. Additionally, results were compared with previous literature data in order to have a deeper understanding of the liquid properties and detect possible anomalous behaviors. The effect of water content is different on both properties. Thus, the density of the samples slightly increases when water is removed, whereas the opposite behavior was found with regard to the speed of sound, which decreased when the water content was completely removed.

A biphenyl-based copper complex was evaluated as electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (orr), for a possible application as cathode material in fuel cells. To carry out this evaluation, the complex was supported on Vulcan carbon and deposited as a film on a glassy carbon rotating disk electrode by drop-casting a 1-μL drop of a suspension of carbon in a solution of the complex in dimethyl sulfoxide containing Nafion as ionic conductive binder, and drying under vacuum. The cyclic voltammogram in 0.1 M NaOH solution showed voltammetric peaks between 0.8 and 1.0 V vs. reference hydrogen electrode, which suggest the existence of electron transfer processes from/toward the ligand. The orr was tested in oxygen-saturated (1 atm) solution by linear sweep voltammetry, which showed significant orr current at relatively low overpotential (around −0.4 V), demonstrating the ability of the complex to electrocatalyze the orr efficiently.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are ligand-gated ion channels formed by the assembly of five subunits. Receptor activity could be subjected to both positive and negative modulation at allosteric sites by endogenous neurotransmitters as well as synthetic ligands such as steroids, bivalent cations, alcohols, and a range of drugs. The subtype of α7 nAChR has been considered a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and other neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this work we present the synthesis of a novel series of phosphonate-functionalized 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles with potential activity over α7 AChR. These compounds were synthetized through the copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organic azides and alkynes.

Hydantoins and their sulfur containing analogues, thiohydantoins, are cyclic ureides that have attracted huge attention ever since their discovery. Most of them are biologically active compounds and several points of structural diversity have made them very synthetically attractive. Although substituents can be introduced to the hydantoin nucleus, most substituted hydantoins are synthesized from substrates already containing these groups, while forming the hydantoin nucleus. This is a common route to the synthesis of hydantoins and one of them is employed in this study. A series of 3-allyl-2-thiohydantoins is synthesized from various α-amino acids in a reaction with allyl isothiocyanate. The substitution of the acquired thiohydantoin depends on the structure of the starting α-amino acid. The residual group of the α-amino acid becomes the substituent at the C5-position, while N-monosubstituted amino acids give rise to a substituent in the N1-position. The reaction is carried out in a two-step process and the reaction conditions generally depend on the nature of the amino acid itself.

Abstract
In the present work, we report the unexpected formation of isomeric 3-benzoyl-2-phenylbenzo[b]furans using triphenylphosphonium salt and benzoyl chlorides under Wittig conditions. In particular, we found that the o-[(benzoyloxy)benzyl]-triphenyl-phosphoranes constitute the key intermediate that reasonably undergoes benzoyl group migration. Full article

The catalytic activity of six different carbons was tested in the solvent-free acetylation reaction of alcohols, phenols, and monosaccharides with acetic anhydride. Three commercial carbons—a basic activated carbon M (Merck KGaA), a moderately basic carbon gel X (Xerolutions S.L.), and an activated carbon N (Norit Netherland B.V.)—were studied. From these commercial carbons, three acidic activated carbons—M-S, X-S, and N-S—were obtained by treatment with sulfuric acid. All six carbons were characterized by means of nitrogen adsorption capacity, porosimetry, elemental organic analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and point of zero charge (PZC) determination. The experiments carried out showed good catalytic activity, the magnitude of which depended on the type of carbon used. The best catalyst was X-S, which combined high acidity with the largest mesoporous volume. Second in line was the commercial carbon M, which was the most basic. The protocol reported herein encompasses several of the characteristics related to the sustainability of chemical processes, such as the innocuous nature and the affordable cost of the catalytic material, the absence of reaction solvent, and the ease of reaction work-up.

A series of variously methoxylated and methylated N-aryl-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides was prepared and characterized as potential anti-invasive agents. As it is known that lipophilicity significantly influences the biological activity of compounds, the hydro-lipophilic properties of these mono-, di- and tri-substituted 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides are investigated in the study. All the discussed hydroxynaphthalene derivatives were analyzed using the reversed-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography method, to measure lipophilicity. The procedure was performed under isocratic conditions with methanol as an organic modifier in the mobile phase, using an end-capped, non-polar C18 stationary reversed-phase column. The present study discusses the correlations between the logarithm of the capacity factor k and log P/Clog P values, calculated in various ways, as well as the relationships between the lipophilicity and the chemical structure of the studied compounds.

A novel byphenyl hydrazone ligand developed as a chemosensor for the detection of Cu2+ was studied using a theoretical analysis based on the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). The geometries of the ligand (L) and the Cu2+-ligand complex were optimized at the CAM-B3LYP/631+G(d,p) level of theory in dimethyl sulfoxide, using the conductor-like polarizable continuum model. The adsorption spectra of these molecular systems were analyzed and compared with the experimental data. Theoretical study of the structural, electronics and optical properties allowed us to understand the chemical changes that the ligand undergoes in the complexation process with the Cu+2 ion.

The current treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is mainly focused on enhancing the cholinergic neurotransmission by means of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). Therefore, there is a growing interest in the development of novel AChEIs. New drugs should not only be able to inhibit the enzyme but also to show optimal parameters of solubility and permeability, since they affect drug bioavailability. Considering the potential advantages of transforming active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) into ionic liquids (ILs), five API-ILs derived from two AChEIs, tacrine and a donepezil analogue, were synthesized. The water solubility of these novel API-ILs was analyzed. Full article

The transformation of two solid Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) into new ionic liquids (IL)s that incorporate APIs (API-ILs) is reported. The structures of the APIs (indomethacin and mebendazole) were selected by their susceptibility to being transformed into API-ILs (either to form the cation or the anion) and their limited bioavailability due to their low solubility in water. The counterions, such as those derived from 2-dimethylaminoethanol (DMEA), tetramethylguanidine (TMG), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] (TED), <i>p</i>-toluensulfonic acid, glycolic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and saccharin, were carefully chosen, aiming for high biocompatibility, low toxicity, and high water solubility.

Presently, with increasing environmental concerns, the development of sustainable and friendly heterogeneous catalysts has attracted more and more attention, in both the scientific and industrial communities. Hence, the use of nanocatalysts with well-defined structures, that are environmentally benign, with high catalytic activity, and high chemical stability are desirable, instead of corrosive and hazardous chemicals. In recent years, polymeric mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has turned out to be a fascinating choice for catalyst or catalyst support due to its special physical and chemical properties, thermal stability, non-toxicity, unique electronic properties, and large surface area. The incorporation of nitrogen atoms in the carbon architecture of the g-C3N4 gives rise to the active chemical sites exposed on the surface. On the other hand, depositing metal nanoparticles onto g-C3N4 is an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of g-C3N4. In the present study, g-C3N4/Ni as a recyclable and highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst, with a good porous structure, has been prepared and its catalytic activity was investigated for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives.

Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to heterogeneous catalysts. Generally, heterogeneous catalysts offer several advantages, such as mild reaction conditions, high throughput, and ease of work-up procedures. Among the heterogeneous catalysts investigated, polymeric mesoporous graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) have attracted much attention recently due to strong van der Waals interactions between the layers. g-C3N4 is chemically stable against acidic, basic, and organic solvents, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) also reveals that g-C3N4 is thermally stable even in air up to 600 °C, which can be attributed to its aromatic C-N heterocycles. More importantly, g-C3N4 is only composed of two earth-abundant elements: carbon and nitrogen. This not only suggests that it can be easily prepared at low cost, but also that its properties can be tuned by simple strategies without significant alteration of the overall composition. The last approach is considered to be the most efficient way to design high-performance heterogeneous catalysts utilizing g-C3N4 as a catalyst support. An interesting phenomenon is that the modification is mainly focused on metal oxides. Zirconia (ZrO2) is a physically rigid material with chemical inertness. It has high resistance against attacks by acids, alkalis, oxidants, and reductants. In this study, a ZrO2/g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite was shown to be an excellent catalyst for the conversion of alcohols and phenols into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) under solvent-free conditions and for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates. In addition, ZrO2/g-C3N4 could easily be recycled after separation from the reaction mixture without considerable loss in catalytic activity. Full article

Recently there has been a growing interest in covalent protease inhibitors in both industry and academia, caused by their longer residence times, their higher potency and their high ligand efficiency. Covalently reactive moieties which interact with activated amino acid residues such as serine or cysteine in enzymes like proteases or esterases mostly act through nucleophilic addition, substitution or ring opening. In contrast, nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is rarely employed. In our previous work, we prepared and investigated electrophilic “warheads”, which contain aromatic, heteroaromatic or quinoid fragments. Some of them show potent inhibition constants for cathepsin L, cathepsin B, rhodesain or dengue-protease, and depending on the exact nature of the electrophile they exhibit reversible covalent or irreversible inhibition modes. In the present work, we demonstrate the synthesis of fluorescent “warhead” candidates based on 2,1,3-benzoxadiazoles and the investigation of their physicochemical and photophysical properties. These molecules shall serve as probes for the detailed analysis of association/dissociation mechanism and of the kinetic parameters of the bond forming event. Full article

This paper reports a study on the free radical hydrostannation of ((4S,4′R,5R,5′S)-2,2,2′,2′-tetramethyl-[4,4′-bi(1,3-dioxolane)]-5,5′-diyl)bis(diphenyl methylene) diacrylate (1) and dimethacrylate (2) with triorganotin hydrides, R3SnH (R = Me, n-Bu, Ph). Preliminary investigations show that these reactions could lead to mixtures of products of cyclohydrostannation and/or mono- or diaddition according to the organotin hydrides employed and the reaction conditions used. The addition of Me3SnH to 1 afforded a mixture of three organotin compounds from which the pure new 13-membered macrodiolide 3 (48%) was obtained. The other two organotins could not be separated. The addition of n-Bu3SnH to diester 1 led to a mixture of two organotins, the one in major proportion (91%) being the product of diaddition 7. The minor product 6a (9%) could not be isolated pure. The hydrostannation of 1 with Ph3SnH led to one organotin: The product of diaddition 8. The hydrostannation of the dimethacrylate 2 with the organotin hydrides R3SnH (R = Me, n-Bu, Ph) under the same reaction conditions, led in the three cases to mixtures containing mainly diaddition products, and no cyclization products were detected. Some physical characteristics of the new compounds including selected values of 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMRs are included. Full article

The ecotoxicity of a nitrate-based ionic liquid (IL) and saturated mixtures with four nitrate salts towards the bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri, were tested in this work, using the Microtox® standard toxicity test. The selected IL was Ethylammonium Nitrate (EAN) and the nitrate salts were Lithium Nitrate (LiNO3), Calcium Nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), Magnesium Nitrate (Mg(NO3)2), and Aluminum Nitrate (Al(NO3)3). The effective concentration (EC50) of these mixtures was determined over three standard periods of time, namely 5, 15, and 30 min. Results of EC50 for pure EAN at 15 min are in relatively good concordance with the literature. To the best of our knowledge, no ecotoxicity studies have been performed for doped EAN. Similar results have been found for pure EAN and for EAN doped with LiNO3 and Mg(NO3)2, whose values indicated low toxicity. Nevertheless, the addition of Ca(NO3)2 and Al(NO3)3 cause an increase in the ecotoxicity of EAN, especially for the IL doped with Al(NO3)3, which present values associated to highly toxic compounds, comparable even with benzene or atrazine.

Fluorinated nucleosides are very important for increased biological and chemical stability of organ fluorine compounds. Synthesis of (1H)-8-trifluloromethyl-2-methyl-4-quinazolinone 3 from 2-amino-3-(trifluoromethyl) benzoic acid 1 was performed. Ribosylation of compound 4 with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-ribofuranose 5 using the silylation method created the benzoylated nucleoside derivative 6. Debenzoylation of the protected nucleoside 6 via reaction with sodium metal in dry methanol to create the corresponding free nucleoside 1,3-bis-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-ribofuranosyl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)-2-methyl-4-quinazolinone 7. The structures of the newly synthesis compounds have been confirmed on the basis of IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and mass spectral data. Full article

The effect of environmental water on certain properties of ionic liquids (ILs) can be decisive when considering a possible industrial application. The effect of environmental water absorption on electrical conductivity (using a conductimeter Crison Basic 30) and viscosity (using a rheometer AR2000 TA Instruments) on two diethylmethylammonium ionic liquids was analyzed. The studied compounds were based on a cation (diethylmethylammonium) and two anions (methanesulfonate and trifluoromethanesulfonate). In both ionic liquids the water absorption corresponded to a Fickian behavior, agreeing with previous literature data on other ILs, being methanesulfonate much more hygroscopic than trifluoromethanesulfonate (28% and 6% in weight for [EEMAm][MeSO3] and [EEMAm][OTf], respectively). As expected, water considerably increased the ionic conductivity; values were duplicated in the case of [EEMAm][OTf] and quadruplicated for [EEMAm][MeSO3]. Similarly, the viscosity decreased drastically with water incorporation in the IL—showing changes of 88% and 66% for trifluoromethanesulfonate and methanesulfonate, respectively. Furthermore, in the case of diethylmethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, the functional dependence of the viscosity with the molar fraction of water was studied. According to the observed behavior, the viscosity of the pure IL was estimated using the equation proposed by Seddon et al. Full article

The micellar extraction method (micellar mediated extraction (MME)) is an alternative method of classical extraction, which takes place with the participation of surfactants. In this method, instead of an organic solvent, a highly efficient solution of surfactants is used, which dissolves the desired component in hydrophobic micelles. Moreover, micellar extraction is often used for separating analytes from complex matrices, enriching analytes in environmental research, as well as for determining trace amounts of heavy metals or toxins in biological samples. The main goal of the presented study was to compare conventional extraction (using ethanol solutions) with micellar extraction (carried out with whey protein isolated (WPI) solutions and whey protein concentrated (WPC). The test material consisted of dried elderberry (Sambucus nigra) fruits. The comparison of the obtained extracts was performed by analyzing the contents of reducing compounds, flavonoid content, and the ability to reduce iron (III) ions in a system of three variables: Temperature, concentration and time. The obtained results clearly show that the factor influencing the efficiency of micellar extraction using WPC and WPI was time. The higher ability to reduce iron (III) ions was characterized by WPC protein extract as opposed to WPI extracts. The content of flavonoids in micellar extraction using protein extracts from WPC was higher than with the use of protein extracts from WPI. Full article

The reaction of 2-cyanopyridine and Mn(II) in methanol solution led to the formation of a Mn4L6Cl2 cluster 1 containing O-methyl picolimidate as a ligand (L). The coordination of 2-cyanopyridine to the Mn(II) ion as a chelating bidentate ligand activated the CN triple bond which subsequently suffered a nucleophilic attack by CH3OH. Complex 1 was characterized by standard techniques including microanalysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI spectrometry, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction techniques, and the crystallographic studies revealed a planar-diamond array for 1 where the six monoanionic picolinimidates act as chelating ligands through the two nitrogen atoms.

In this study, we investigated the curing kinetics of the epoxy system formed by the epoxy resin Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, Isophorone diamine hardener (IPD), and the thermoplastic modification agent Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or ABS. The introduction of a third component, in this case ABS, has been carried out to improve the application of this system in waterproofing and use of paints, as well as improving resistance to the impact of this type of systems. In addition, obtaining kinetic and respective parameters will allow us to identify the properties and gain knowledge of possible applications in the industry. In particular, it is intended to reach a kinetic equation that is capable of describing variation in the reaction rate according to the degree of curing for the entire range of conversions, starting from the model proposed by Kamal et al.

: This paper reports the synthesis of two new organotin hydrides containing a (phenyldimethylsilyl)methyl ligand. It was found that the reaction of (phenyldime thylsilyl) methylmagnesium bromide in ether afforded ((phenyldimethylsilyl)methyl) trimethyltin (3) (72%), and with (−)-menthyldimethyltin bromide (4) gave (((phenyl dimethylsilyl)methyl)(1R,2R,5R) -2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl)dimethyltin (5) (84%). Bromo dealkylation of 3 with bromine in MeOH led to ((phenyldimethylsilyl)methyl)dimethyltin bromide (6) (82%), which upon reduction with LiAlH4 yielded ((phenyldimethyl silyl)methyl)dimethyltin hydride (7) (95%). The best method for obtaining the corresponding bromostannylated derivative of compound 5, i.e., (((phenyldimethylsilyl) methyl)(1R,2R,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl) methyltin bromide (8) was the exchange reaction between 4 and HgBr2 that led to 8 with 90% yield. The reduction of bromide 8 with LiAlH4 gave a diastereomeric mixture of (((phenyldimethylsilyl)methyl)(1R,2R,5R)-2-isopropyl-5- methylcyclohexyl)methyltin hydride (9). Some physical properties and 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR of the new organotin hydrides, as well as that of their intermediate precursors are included. Full article
