1,4-Benzoquinones with Styryl Substituents

2002

2-Styryl-1,4-benzoquinone (1) and compounds 2 and 3 containing 1 as a substructure all proved to be highly reactive towards thermal or photochemical [4π + 2π] cyclodimerization reactions. Chemo-, regio- and stereoselective processes lead to dimers (compounds 1−10), which can undergo secondary reactions consisting of the addition of nucleophiles combined with a twofold keto-enol tautomerism (10 ⇄ 12). An alternative process is dehydrogenation/oxidation followed by an intramolecular [4π + 2π] cycloaddition (10 ⇄ 11). The same selective [4π + 2π] cyclodimerization can be observed in solution upon irradiation (e.g., 1a ⇄ 10a), in contrast to irradiation in the crystalline state which yields a […

2003

The present communication discloses a new synthetic method for the preparation of N-tosylguanidines in high yields by ring cleavage of 1,2-dihydro-2-tosyliminopyrimidines with methyl- amine.

Homochiral oxazolidin-2-ones and imidazolidin-2-ones by tandem nucleophilic addition–conjugate addition

2004

Abstract Treatment of both primary alcohols 1a , b and secondary amines 1c , d , tethered to a Michael acceptor with ( R )-phenylethyl isocyanate in the presence of DBU gave in good yield and high stereoselection diastereomeric mixtures of oxazolidin-2-ones 2a , b and 3a , b and imidazolidin-2-ones 2c , d and 3c , d , respectively. The cyclisation reaction was studied computationally by ab initio quantum mechanical methods. The observed stereoselectivity was explained on the basis of the different stability of both anions and transition states leading to 2a and 3a , respectively. The usefulness of the method was proven by conversion of 2a into the enantiomerically pure bioactive amino acid …

A DFT study of the domino reactions between imidazole NHC, ketenimines and DMAD or MP acetylene derivatives yielding spiro-pyrroles

2014

Abstract The domino reactions of imidazole carbene 9, ketenimine 10 and DMAD 5 or MP 7 to yield the formal [3+2] cycloadducts 12 or 14 have been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. These domino reactions are initialized by the nucleophilic attack of imidazole 9 on ketenimine 10 to yield the zwitterionic intermediate 11. The second reaction is a formal [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction between the zwitterionic intermediate 11 and acetylene carboxylates DMAD 5 or MP 7 yielding spiro-pyrroles 12 and 14. These formal 32CA reactions are initialized by the nucleophilic attack of the N3 nitrogen of intermediate 11 on the most electrophilic centres of these acetylene derivat…

Hydrophobicity of ionisable compounds studied by countercurrent chromatography

2011

Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) is a liquid chromatography technique in which the stationary phase is also a liquid. The main chemical process involved in solute separation is partitioning between the two immiscible liquid phases: the mobile phase and the support-free liquid stationary phase. The octanol-water partition coefficients (P(o/w)) is the accepted parameter measuring the hydrophobicity of molecules. It is considered to estimate active principle partitioning over a biomembrane. It was related to the substance biological activity. CCC is able to work with an octanol stationary phase and an aqueous mobile phase. In this configuration, CCC is a useful and easy alternative to measu…

Bimodal copper oxide nanoparticles doped phase for the extraction of highly polar compounds by in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled on-line to…

2020

Abstract Polymers obtained from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and triethoxymethylsilane (MTEOS) have been functionalized with different metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), and used as coatings of extractive capillaries for the extraction of polar compounds by in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) coupled on-line to nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC). The extraction capabilities of the new phases have been studied using several triazinic herbicides with log of octanol/water partition coefficients (Kow) ranging from -0.7 to 3.21 under reversed phase chromatographic conditions. Best extraction efficiencies for the most polar compounds (log Kow ≤ 2.3) were typically obtained …

Oxygen permeability of hydrogel contact lenses with organosilicon moieties

2002

Oxygen transport through two extended wear (day and night) hydrogel contact lenses that contain organosilicon moieties (balafilcon A and lotrafilcon A) was studied in the hydrate (hydrogel) and dry (xerogel) states. The water uptake increased the oxygen permeability [(Dk)app] and transmissibility [Dk/L(av)] coefficients of the dry materials by about 70%. The (Dk)app for the hydrated lenses was determined following the so-called stack procedure. The values obtained were 107 +/- 4 barrer for balafilcon A and 141 +/- 5 barrer for lotrafilcon A, about 5-10 times larger than those previously reported for conventional (without organosilicon moieties) extended wear hydrogels contact lenses. The Dk…

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Nucleophilic Substitution of Tellurium(II) Dialkanethiolates, Te(SR1)2 with Thiols, HSR2

2005

The equilibrium reaction between tellurium(II) dithiolates and thiols, Te(SR1)2 + 2 HSR2 ⇌ Te(SR2)2 + 2 HSR1 was studied by means of 1H- and 125Te NMR spectroscopy and ab initio quantum chemical methods. It was found that the reaction is catalyzed by Bronsted acids and bases, the catalytic activity corresponding to the strength of the respective acid or base. Investigation of the initial step of the reaction, Te(SR1)2 + HSR2 ⇌ Te(SR1)(SR2) + HSR1, showed it to proceed according to first order kinetics for Te(SR1)2, HSR2 and for the catalyst. Ab initio geometry optimizations and frequency calculations suggest [Te(SR1)(HSR1)(HSR2)]+ and [Te(SR1)2(SR2)]− to be stable intermediates and not tran…

Modular Phosphole-Methano-Bridged-Phosphine(Borane) Ligands. Application to Rhodium-Catalyzed Reactions

2012

The synthesis of the phospholyl(phosphinoborane)methane air- and moisture-stable hybrid ligands 4a–f, starting from 1-phenylphospholes 1a–d, was performed via P–C bond coupling on the methano bridge. Two strategies were investigated, according to the phospholyl moiety used as a nucleophilic or an electrophilic reagent. In the first pathway, the phospholyl anions react with the easily available (chloromethyl)diphenylphosphine–borane 3 to afford ligands 4a–d in 29–67% isolated yields. In the second pathway, the phospholyl(dicyclohexylphosphinoborane)methane ligands 4e,f were synthesized in 18–23% yields, through a nucleophilic substitution on the cyanophosphole. Removal of the BH3 moiety on 4…
