Cartographic Language in Thematic Maps
2015
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of maps as transmitters of information. To this end, some basic concepts concerning the properties of cartographic language are examined, with the aim of helping the reader design maps conveying geographic information as clearly as possible. It also describes the innate taste of geographers for maps –how these attract and stimulate them. Then it deals with the emergence of the Internet and the new technologies allowing massive map visualization, downloading and production. The paper is illustrated with ten thematic maps, in which visual variables (i.e. size, shape, value, color, orientation and texture) are combined with the different marks (points, lin…
ChemInform Abstract: Benzothietes. Versatile Synthons for the Preparation of Heterocycles
2010
Abstract Thermal or photochemical ring opening transforms benzo[b]thiete to o-thiobenzoquinonemethide, a highly reactive 8π electron system. Cycloaddition reactions or linear additions with subsequent cyclizations lead to larger heterocyclic rings. A variety of compounds containing sulfur and possibly further heteroatoms like nitrogen, oxygen or phosphorus in normal, medium and large ring systems can be synthesized on this route.
Preparation of dithiacycloalkynes by cyclization reactions applying the cesium effect
1993
Abstract The strained dithiacycloalkynes 3a,b and the larger heterocyclic alkynes 3c and 4 are obtained by cesium assisted cyclization reactions of the dithiols 1a–c and 1,4-dibromo-2-butyne (2). The reactivity of 3a–c was studied in cycloaddition and complexation reactions generating the adducts 5a,b and 6 and the silver and cobalt complexes 7 and 8.
BENZOTHIETES—VERSATILE SYNTHONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HETEROCYCLES
1994
Abstract Thermal or photochemical ring opening transforms benzo[b]thiete to o-thiobenzoquinonemethide, a highly reactive 8π electron system. Cycloaddition reactions or linear additions with subsequent cyclizations lead to larger heterocyclic rings. A variety of compounds containing sulfur and possibly further heteroatoms like nitrogen, oxygen or phosphorus in normal, medium and large ring systems can be synthesized on this route.
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions with meso-tetraarylchlorins – site selectivity and mixed bisadducts
2017
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of meso-tetraarylporphyrins with nitrones gives isoxazolidine-fused chlorins. Depending on the substitution pattern on the meso-aryl groups and the nitrone, the chlorins can be obtained in high yields (up to 91%). Bacteriochlorin-type bisadducts are also obtained, although in low yield, from the reaction of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin with N-methyl, N-cyclohexyl or N-benzyl nitrone. The structure of a bis(N-benzyl isoxazolidine-fused) bacteriochlorin was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and rationalized by DFT calculations. To further explore the nature of site selectivity in the formation of bisadducts, isomeric mixed bacte…
Understanding the different reactivity of (Z)- and (E)-β-nitrostyrenes in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. An MEDT study
2021
The experimental reactivity of isomeric (Z)- and (E)-b-nitrostyrenes participating in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions has been analysed on the basis of molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the HF/6-311G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and uB97X-D/6-311G(d,p) computational levels. It was found that the polar zw-type 32CA reactions with 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide proceed via a one-step mechanism, characterised by the attack of the nucleophilic oxygen centre of the nitrone on the electrophilically activated b-position of these nitrostyrenes. This behaviour is completely understood by means of the analysis of the conceptual DFT reactivity indices. These 32CA reactions present low activat…
Understanding the mechanism and regioselectivity of the copper(i) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between azide and alkyne: a systematic DFT…
2017
The copper(I) catalyzed azide–alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction and its uncatalyzed version have been studied for systematic understanding of this relevant organic transformation, using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) (LANL2DZ for Cu) computational levels. In the absence of a copper(I) catalyst, two regioisomeric reaction paths were studied, indicating that the 32CA reaction takes place through an asynchronous one-step mechanism with a very low polar character. The two reactive channels leading to 1,4- and 1,5-regisomer present similar high activation energies of 18.84 and 18.51 kcal mol−1, respectively. The coordination of copper(I) to alkyne produces relevant changes in …
Experimental and theoretical study of the [3+2] cycloaddition of carbonyl ylides with alkynes
2012
[EN] The [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides and alkynes (phenylacetylene, methyl propiolate, methyl but-2-ynoate and methyl 3-phenylpropiolate) to give substituted 2,5-dihydrofurans was investigated. The effect of indium(III) chloride on the outcome of the reaction was studied in the case of phenylacetylene and methyl propiolate. The thermal reaction between the carbonyl ylide coming from 2,2-dicyano-3-phenyloxirane and both methyl propiolate and methyl but-2-ynoate was theoretically investigated using DFT methods in order to explain the reactivity and regioselectivity observed.
A Close Look to the Oxaphosphetane Formation along the Wittig Reaction: A [2+2] Cycloaddition?
2020
The Wittig reaction between triphenylphosphine methylide and benzaldehyde has been studied both from conceptual and computational approaches. The supernucleophilic character of ylide accounts for the feasibility of the initial nucleophilic attack. The nature of bonding driving the formation of the first oxaphosphetane (OPA) intermediate in such a domino reaction is examined within a topological-based bonding evolution theory perspective. The sequence of the electronic flow associated to the changes in electron density supports a rationalization via two main electronic stages characterizing the single kinetic step: first, the C-C bond formation, which takes place via donation of electron den…
Unveiling the high reactivity of benzyne in the formal [3+2] cycloaddition reactions towards thioamides through the Molecular Electron Density Theory
2020
Abstract The domino reaction of benzyne with thioamide has been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d) level. This domino reaction takes place through i) a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction affording an ammonium ylide, and ii) an extrusion of ethylene from this species yielding a dihydrothiazole. Topological analysis of the electron density of benzyne shows its pseudodiradical structure, that is, without any energy cost, changes to a carbenoid one, allowing its participation as electrophile in polar reactions. As a consequence, the formal 32CA reaction does not have an activation enthalpy. Analysis of the changes of electron density al…
