Electrochemical Fluorocyclization of N-Allylcarboxamides to 2-Oxazolines by Hypervalent Iodine Mediator
2018
A resource saving protocol for the synthesis of 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazolines by using electrochemistry has been realized. Thereby, a hypervalent iodine species I(III) is generated by anodic oxidation in the presence of Et3N·5HF and mediates the cyclization of N-allylcarboxamide to 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazoline. This method allows application to various substrates furnishing the 2-oxazolines with yields up to 68%. The protocol is easy to conduct under constant current conditions offering a sustainable alternative over conventional reagent-based pathways.
Fluorocyclization of N-Propargylamides to Oxazoles by Electrochemically Generated ArIF2
2019
A sustainable synthesis of 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazoles by use of electrochemistry has been demonstrated. Hypervalent ArIF2 is generated by direct electrochemical oxidation of iodoarene ArI in Et3N·5HF and mediates the fluorocyclization of N-propargylamides to 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazoles. The stoichiometry in ArI turned out to be a key parameter in controlling the product selectivity. This electrochemical protocol provides access to fluorinated oxazoles starting from simply available N-propargylamides with yields up to 65% and offers a green alternative over conventional reagent-based approaches.
Herbicidal value of essential oils from oregano-like flavour species
2017
ABSTRACTChemical composition and phytotoxicity of oregano, marjoram and Thymus mastichina essential oils against Portulaca oleracea L., Lolium multiflorum Lam. and Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv. has been investigated. Seventy-seven compounds reaching 97.3% and 99.4% were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Carvacrol (60.42 ± 0.07%), p-cymene (15.52 ± 0.02%) and γ-terpinene (5.19 ± 0.02%) were the main compounds in oregano essential oil, whereas large amounts of 1,8-cineol (59.59 ± 0.85%, 49.49 ± 0.37%), linalool (13.05 ± 0.04%, 5.66 ± 0.01%) and α-terpineol (3.36 ± 0.10%, 5.59 ± 0.01%), followed by β-pinene (4.35 ± 0.39, 5.54 ± 0.01%) and α-pinene (4.11 ± 0.53, 4.28 ± 0.…
Viewpoint: Atomic-Scale Design Protocols toward Energy, Electronic, Catalysis, and Sensing Applications
2019
Nanostructured materials are essential building blocks for the fabrication of new devices for energy harvesting/storage, sensing, catalysis, magnetic, and optoelectronic applications. However, because of the increase of technological needs, it is essential to identify new functional materials and improve the properties of existing ones. The objective of this Viewpoint is to examine the state of the art of atomic-scale simulative and experimental protocols aimed to the design of novel functional nanostructured materials, and to present new perspectives in the relative fields. This is the result of the debates of Symposium I "Atomic-scale design protocols towards energy, electronic, catalysis…
The MIRS computer package for modeling the rovibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules
2003
International audience; The MIRS spectroscopic software for the modeling of ro-vibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules is presented. It is designed for the global treatment of complex band systems of molecules to take full account of symmetry properties. It includes e cient algorithms based on the irreducible tensor formalism. Predictions and simultaneous data fi tting (positions and intensities) are implemented as well as advanced options related to group theory algebra. Illustrative examples on CH3D, CH4, CH3Cl and PH3 are reported and the present status of data available is given. It is written in C++ for standard PC computer operating under Windows. The full package including on-lin…

Budyko’s Based Method for Annual Runoff Characterization across Different Climatic Areas: an Application to United States
2018
Runoff data knowledge is of fundamental importance for a wide range of hydrological, ecological, and socioeconomic applications. The reconstruction of annual runoff is a fundamental task for several activities related to water resources management, especially for ungauged basins. At catchment scales, the Budyko's framework provides an extremely useful and, in some cases, accurate estimation of the long-term partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration and runoff as a function of the prevailing climatic conditions. Recently the same long-term partitioning rules have been successfully used to describe water partitioning also at the annual scale and calculate the annual runoff distrib…
Curve Numbers Seasonal Variation in Mid-Mediterranean Area
2018
AbstractThe curve number (CN) method is a popular technique for estimating a rainstorm event’s direct runoff (Q from its storm depth P). It relies on the parameter CN, a lumped expression of a wate...
Geographic and temporal variations in turbulent heat loss from lakes : A global analysis across 45 lakes
2018
Heat fluxes at the lake surface play an integral part in determining the energy budget and thermal structure in lakes, including regulating how lakes respond to climate change. We explore patterns in turbulent heat fluxes, which vary across temporal and spatial scales, using in situ high-frequency monitoring data from 45 glob- ally distributed lakes. Our analysis demonstrates that some of the lakes studied follow a marked seasonal cycle in their turbulent surface fluxes and that turbulent heat loss is highest in larger lakes and those situated at low latitude. The Bowen ratio, which is the ratio of mean sensible to mean latent heat fluxes, is smaller at low lati- tudes and, in turn, the rel…
Who's better at spotting? A comparison between aerial photography and observer-based methods to monitor floating marine litter and marine mega-fauna.
2020
Pollution by marine litter is raising major concerns due to its potential impact on marine biodiversity and, above all, on endangered mega-fauna species, such as cetaceans and sea turtles. The density and distribution of marine litter and mega-fauna have been traditionally monitored through observer-based methods, yet the advent of new technologies has introduced aerial photography as an alternative monitoring method. However, to integrate results produced by different monitoring techniques and consider the photographic method a viable alternative, this ‘new’ methodology must be validated. This study aims to compare observations obtained from the concurrent application of observer-based and…
