Modular one-pot synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrroles from alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles.
2007
2,3,4,5-Tetrasubstituted pyrroles have been prepared with high regioselectivity by a formal cycloaddition of alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles and nitroolefins followed by elimination of HCN and HNO2. The reaction allows the convergent construction of the pyrrole ring in four steps from a nitroalkane and three aldehydes.
Crystal and molecular structure of the (1 : 1) clathrate between a calix[4]arene containing onep-nitrophenol unit and toluene
1990
p-(Methyl,tert-butyl, nitro,tert-butyl) calix[4]arene: toluene, C37H41NO6. C7H8,Mr = 687.87, triclinic,\(P\bar 1\),a = 13.668(2),b = 12.187(2),c = 13.231(1) A,α = 106.78(8),β = 77.88(1),γ = 114.00(1)°,V = 1916.8(8) A3,Z = 2,Dx = 1.19 g cm−3,λ (CuKα) = 1.54178 A,μ = 5.90 cm−1,F(000) = 736,T = 293 K, finalR = 0.068 for 6309 observed reflections. This macrocycle, having different substituents at the positionspara to the hydroxyl groups, is the first one of its type to be studied. The general conformation of this calix[4]arene is compared to similar symmetrical ones. Thetert-butyl groups are not disordered as is usual and toluene is retained between the macrocycles. Two calixarene molecules are…
Binding equilibria between beta-cyclodextrin and p-nitro-aniline derivatives: the first systematic study in mixed water-methanol solvent systems.
2009
Abstract Complexation equilibria, in mixed water–methanol solvent media, between native β-cyclodextrin and a set of suitably selected p -nitro-aniline derivatives were studied by means of polarimetry. The effects exerted by the organic co-solvent on the conditional inclusion free energies Δ G cond 0 and the differential molar optical rotations Δ Θ were thoroughly analyzed under the perspective of the enthalpy–entropy compensation effect. Experimental data suggest an intimate participation (‘dynamic co-inclusion’) of solvent molecules in the formation and in the conformational dynamics of the host–guest inclusion complex.
Binding properties of mono-(6-deoxy-6-amino)-β-cyclodextrin towards p-nitroaniline derivatives: a polarimetric study
2009
Abstract Polarimetry was used in order to investigate the formation of supramolecular complexes between mono-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin and various p-nitroaniline derivatives at two different pH values. Comparison with the behaviour of native β-cyclodextrin gave us the opportunity to consider the effect exerted by the presence of charged groups, having different solvation requirements, on the binding equilibrium. Data offer some support to the hypothesis of ‘dynamic co-inclusion’ of solvent molecules within the host–guest complex.
Structure and properties of N-methyl-N-(4-pyridyl)-nitramine and 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-4-nitriminopyridine
2002
Abstract The molecular structure and spectral properties of N -methyl- N -(4-pyridyl)-nitramine ( 1 ) and 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-4-nitriminopyridine ( 3 ) were investigated by the X-ray diffraction, FTIR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods and DFT theoretical calculations. N -methyl- N -(4-pyridyl)-nitramine ( 1 ) crystallises in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. It is composed of two planar fragments; nitramino (N 2 O 2 ) group and the pirydyl ring. These two groups are twisted at about 70° with respect to each other, along the Ar–N bond. On the contrary, in compound 3 , they are coplanar to each other. Twist of the nitramino group in 1 with respect to the pirydyl ring leads to a sign…
Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of nitrophenols
2003
The photocatalytic degradation of 2-, 3- and 4-nitrophenol has been investigated in oxygenated aqueous suspensions containing TiO2. The organic reaction intermediates have been determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The results indicate the complete mineralisation of the substrates and the formation of both nitrate and ammonium ions. The degradation pathways involve a rapid opening of the aromatic ring followed by a slower oxidation of the aliphatic compounds. The hydroxyl radicals are responsible for the primary attack of the nitrophenols with formation of dihydroxynitrobenzenes. The ring hydroxylation occurs in the positions activated by the contemporaneous presence of phen…
Photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol in aqueous suspension by using polycrystalline TiO2 impregnated with functionalised Cu(II)-porphyrin or C…
2003
The photocatalytic activity of polycrystalline TiO2 samples impregnated with functionalized Cu(II)- or metal-free porphyrins has been investigated. A probe reaction, i.e., 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) photodegradation in aqueous suspension, has been used. The results indicated that the presence of the sensitizers is beneficial for the photoactivity and suggest an important role of Cu(II). A comparison with similar samples impregnated with modified Cu(II)- and metal-free phthalocyanines showed that the presence of porphyrin is more beneficial both for the decomposition rate of 4-nitrophenol and for the disappearance of nonpurgeable organic carbon (NPOC). Experiments were carried out by using cutoff …
Highly Diastereoselective Arylation of (S)-Mandelic Acid Enolate: Enantioselective Synthesis of Substituted (R)-3-Hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles and (R)-B…
2005
An easy access to substituted (R)-3-hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles, (R)-benzylic acids, and benzophenones is described. The reaction of the lithium enolate of the (2S,5S)-cis-1,3-dioxolan-4-one derived from optically active (S)-mandelic acid and pivalaldehyde with several o- and p-halonitrobenzenes proceeds readily to give the corresponding arylation products in good yields and diastereoselectivities. The reduction of the nitro group with Zn/HCl/EtOH in the o-nitro arylation products with concomitant intramolecular aminolysis of the dioxolanone moiety leads directly to enantiomerically pure (R)-3-hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles. On the other hand the basic hydrolysis of the dioxolanone moiety in all t…
Novel Terphenyls and 3,5-Diaryl Isoxazole Derivatives Endowed with Growth Supporting and Antiapoptotic Properties
2008
A new study on terphenyl and diaryl-isoxazole and -isoxazoline derivatives, maintaining a common 3-adamantyl-4-hydroxyphenyl moiety, has been conducted to find compounds with growth supporting and antiapoptotic properties. Unexpectedly, diphenyisoxazole derivatives bearing a nitro group replacing the carboxylic function have been found with the highest cell protective activity within the series, in complete and in serum-free conditions. Inhibition of apoptosis induced by daunorubicin has also been observed for the most active compound.
Anionic tert-butyl-calix[4]arenes substituted at the narrow and wide rim by cobalt bis(dicarbollide)(1−) ions and CMPO-groups. Effect of stereochemis…
2013
Abstract Two ionic calix[4]arenes substituted at the narrow rim with an unpaired number ( n ) of cobalt bis(dicarbollide)(1−) anions ( 1 − ) ( n = 1 and 3) and (4 − n ) CMPO groups ( 3c , 4c ) have been synthesized via a three-step procedure based on nitrile substituted calix[4]arene precursors. Conjointly with them, the compound with a paired ratio of the groups, where n = 2 and the same substituents are located in mutually adjacent 1,2-positions, is reported ( 5c ). Another compound with the paired ratio, but from a wide rim series ( 6c ) ( n = 2) was successfully prepared starting from calix[4]arenes substituted with two nitro functions and two –OH sites available for further modific…
