Carbon nitride as photocatalyst in organic selective transformations

2020

Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a metal-free conjugated polymer which has become a new research hotspot in photocatalysis. It can be used for solar energy exploitation like in solar energy organic synthesis, one of the most new and appealing green applications of heterogeneous photocatalysis. This chapter resumes the state-of-the-art and progresses in the application of heterogeneous visible light photocatalysis in organic selective transformations by using C3N4 as photocatalyst.

Martensitic phase transformation cubic-orthorhombic of NaCN and (NaCN)0.98 (KCN)0.02

1990

The ferroelastic cubic-orthorhombic transition of single crystals NaCN and (NaCN)0.98 (KCN)0.02 has been studied by x-ray diffraction. The domain configuration obtained is consistent with the Wechsler, Lieberman, Read-model for martensitic transformations.

Five-to-Six Membered Ring-rearrangements in the Reaction of 5-Perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with Hydrazine and Methylhydrazine

2006

The hydrazinolysis reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine or methylhydrazine as bidentate nucleophiles has been investigated. The reaction occurred through the addition of the bidentate nucleophile to the C(5)-N(4) double bond of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole followed by ring-opening and ring-closure (ANRORC) involving the second nucleophilic site of the reagent. This ring-closure step could involve either the original C(3) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole (giving a five-to-five membered ring rearrangement) or an additional electrophilic center linked to it (exploiting a five-to-six membered ring rearrangement). An alternative initial nucleophilic attack may involve the additional elec…

Reduction of benzo(a)pyrene mutagenicity by dihydrodiol dehydrogenase

1979

THE enigma of how inert chemicals can exert potent mutagenic, carcinogenic, allergenic and cytotoxic effects has been much debated. It has been learned that such compounds are metabolically converted to chemically reactive species1. In the case of aromatic or olefinic compounds, monooxygenases located in the membranes of the cell can transform these compounds into epoxides2–5 which by virtue of electrophilic reactivity can bind chemically to cellular macromolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins, thereby disturbing biochemical control mechanisms and leading to the above mentioned toxic effects. The same membranes in which such epoxides are produced possess an enzyme, epoxide hydratase, which…

Natural products and enzymes from plant cell cultures

1995

Plants represent an unlimited source of natural products. Many of the recently detected phytochemicals exhibit remarkable bioactivities, ranging from anticancer activity, phosphodiesterase inhibition to cytotoxicity against HIV-infected cells. Cultivated plant cells produce at their unorganized, dedifferentiated stage secondary metabolites, but in very different amounts in so far as new compounds are concerned. In fact, more than 140 novel natural products are presently known from plant cell cultures, which also include new metabolites formed by biotransformation. The biotransformation capacity of suspended cells is described and recent high yielding transformations, like the formation of a…

Generation and transformation of the [3.3.1]propellane skeleton by thermal rearrangements

1994

Abstract In a sequence of unexpected thermal rearrangements the strained monocyclic alkyne 4 is transformed into the tricyclic system 5 which yields in a flash vacuum pyrolysis again a monocyclic compound 10 .

Transformation of artemisin into artapshin and 8α-hydroxy-11β,13-dihydrobalchanin

1987

Abstract Partial syntheses of the sesquiterpene lactones artapshin ( 1 ) and 8α-hydroxy-11β, 13-dihydrobalchanin ( 2 ) from artemisin ( 3 ) are described.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of a Naphtho-pyrido-Annulated Iodonium Salt and Pd-Catalyzed Transformation to 7H-Naphtho[1,8-bc][1,5]naphthyridine.

2014

Nitropyridylnaphthalene is the central intermediate for the synthesis of naphthonaphthyridine and benzo-δ-carboline. Whereas the Cadogan reaction gives the carboline, transformation of the nitro group to iodo followed by oxidation and cyclization results in an iodonium salt. A twofold Pd-catalyzed amination leads to the naphthyridine.
