Experimental and theoretical push-pull Chemo- and regioselectivity in 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions: the case of benzotriazepin-5-one with mesi…
2007
A novel heterocyclic compound 3-mesityl-5-methyl-4,5,11,11a-tetrahydro-6H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo [5,4-b][1,3,4]benzotriazepin-6-one 4 has been synthesised by a 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction of 1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-one 1 with mesitylnitrile oxide 3. The reaction, beside its synthetic interest, has shown to be completely chemo- and regioselective. The structure of the compound was determined by X-ray crystallography and analysed by spectral methods (NMR and mass spectrometry). The molecular mechanism for the reaction has been studied using quantum mechanical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* theory level. Two mechanisms are possible for the formation of the cycloadduct 4. The first on…
Extension of the Squaraine Chromophore in Symmetrical Bis(stilbenyl)squaraines
1997
The bis(stilbenyl)squaraines 6d−j,d‘,j‘ represent a novel class of NIR pigments. Their synthesis was performed by the regioselective 2-fold condensation of highly nucleophilic 3,5-dihydroxystilbene...
Source of Selectivity in Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Aryls by Solvent Effect of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-ol
2015
Abstract Solvents such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) with a high capacity for donating hydrogen bonds generate solvates that enter into selective cross-coupling reactions of aryls upon oxidation. When electric current is employed for oxidation, reagent effects can be excluded and a decoupling of nucleophilicity from oxidation potential can be achieved. The addition of water or methanol to the electrolyte allows a shift of oxidation potentials in a specific range, creating suitable systems for selective anodic cross-coupling reactions. The shift in the redox potentials depends on the substitution pattern of the substrate employed. The concept has been expanded from arene-phenol…

Global and local reactivity indices for electrophilic/nucleophilic free radicals
2013
A set of five DFT reactivity indices, namely, the global electrophilicity ω° and nucleophilicity N° indices, the radical Parr function P°k, and the local electrophilicity ω°k and nucleophilicity N°k indices, for the study of free radicals (FRs) are proposed. Global indices have been tested for a series of 32 FRs having electrophilic and/or nucleophilic activations. As expected, no correlation between the proposed global electrophilicity ω° and global nucleophilicity N° has been found. Analysis of the local electrophilicity ω°k and nucleophilicity N°k indices for FRs, together with analysis of the local electrophilicity ωk and nucleophilicity Nk indices for alkenes, allows for an explanation…
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…
Photoelectrochemical and EPR features of polymeric C 3 N 4 and O-modified C 3 N 4 employed for selective photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols to alde…
2019
Four different C 3 N 4 specimens have been prepared, a bulk one (MCN), a thermally etched (MCN-TE), a solid prepared by hydrothermally treating MCN with H 2 O 2 (MCN-H 2 O 2 ) and a polymeric carbon nitride-hydrogen peroxide adduct (MCN-TE-H 2 O 2 ). The principal aim of this work was to correlate the capability of the prepared material to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), under irradiation, with their photocatalytic activities in terms of conversion and selectivity for partial oxidation reactions. Photoelectrochemical studies revealed that MCN-TE represented the best material in terms of photoconductivity, whereas MCN-H 2 O 2 was defective and evidenced a poor mobility of carriers. E…
Analytical, thermodynamical and kinetic characteristics of photoluminescence immunosensor for the determination of Ochratoxin A
2017
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most widespread and dangerous food contaminants. Therefore, rapid, label-free and precise detection of low OTA concentrations requires novel sensing elements with advanced bio-analytical properties. In the present paper we report photoluminescence (PL) based immunosensor for the detection of OTA. During the development of immunosensor photoluminescent ZnO nanorods (ZnO-NRs) were deposited on glass substrate. Then the ZnO-NRs were silanized and covalently modified by Protein-A (Glass/ZnO-NRs/Protein-A). The latest structure was modified by antibodies against OTA (Anti-OTA) in order to form OTA-selective layer (Glass/ZnO-NRs/Protein-A/Anti-OTA). In order to im…
