A five-step transformation of a spiroketal side chain of tigogenin into an indolizidine system present in solanidane alkaloids such as demissidine and solanidine was elaborated. The key intermediate in the synthesis was spiroimine 3 readily obtained from tigogenin by its RuO4 oxidation to 5,6-dihydrokryptogenin followed by amination with aluminum amide generated in situ from DIBAlH and ammonium chloride. The mild reduction of spiroimine to a 26-hydroxy-dihydropyrrole derivative and subsequent mesylation resulted in the formation of 25-epidemissidinium salt or 23-sulfone depending on reaction conditions.

Studies on a one-pot synthesis of novel multisubstituted 1-alkoxyindoles 1 and their mechanistic investigations are presented. The synthesis of 1 was successfully achieved through consecutive four step reactions from substrates 2. The substrates 2, prepared through a two-step synthetic sequence, underwent three consecutive reactions of nitro reduction, intramolecular condensation, and nucleophilic 1,5-addition to provide the intermediates, 1-hydroxyindoles 8, which then were alkylated in situ with alkyl halide to afford the novel target products 1. We optimized the reaction conditions for 1 focusing on the alkylation step, along with the consideration of formation of intermediates 8. The optimized condition was SnCl2·2H2O (3.3 eq) and alcohols (R1OH, 2.0 eq) for 1–2 h at 40 °C and then, base (10 eq) and alkyl halides (R2Y, 2.0 eq) for 1–4 h at 25–50 °C. Notably, all four step reactions were performed in one-pot to give 1 in good to modest yields. Furthermore, the mechanistic aspects were also discussed regarding the reaction pathways and the formation of side products. The significance lies in development of efficient one-pot reactions and in generation of new 1-alkoxyindoles.

The reactivity of a Lu2O3-promoted Rh/Al2O3 catalyst in the CO/H2 reaction is reported. Methane, heavier hydrocarbons, methanol, and ethanol are obtained. In situ DRIFTS has been employed to record the infrared spectra under the actual reaction conditions. The structure of the observed COads DRIFTS bands has been resolved into its components. The production of oxygenates (methanol and ethanol) has been correlated with the results of the deconvolution calculation. Specific sites for the production of methanol and ethanol in the CO/H2 reaction over a Rh,Lu2O3/Al2O3 catalyst are proposed.

The trans-2-deoxyribosylation of 4-thiouracil (4SUra) and 2-thiouracil (2SUra), as well as 6-azauracil, 6-azathymine and 6-aza-2-thiothymine was studied using dG and E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) for the in situ generation of 2-deoxy-α-D-ribofuranose-1-phosphate (dRib-1P) followed by its coupling with the bases catalyzed by either E. coli thymidine (TP) or uridine (UP) phosphorylases. 4SUra revealed satisfactory substrate activity for UP and, unexpectedly, complete inertness for TP; no formation of 2’-deoxy-2-thiouridine (2SUd) was observed under analogous reaction conditions in the presence of UP and TP. On the contrary, 2SU, 2SUd, 4STd and 2STd are good substrates for both UP and TP; moreover, 2SU, 4STd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine (Decitabine) are substrates for PNP and the phosphorolysis of the latter is reversible. Condensation of 2SUra and 5-azacytosine with dRib-1P (Ba salt) catalyzed by the accordant UP and PNP in Tris∙HCl buffer gave 2SUd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine in 27% and 15% yields, respectively. 6-Azauracil and 6-azathymine showed good substrate properties for both TP and UP, whereas only TP recognizes 2-thio-6-azathymine as a substrate. 5-Phenyl and 5-tert-butyl derivatives of 6-azauracil and its 2-thioxo derivative were tested as substrates for UP and TP, and only 5-phenyl- and 5-tert-butyl-6-azauracils displayed very low substrate activity. The role of structural peculiarities and electronic properties in the substrate recognition by E. coli nucleoside phosphorylases is discussed.

In this paper,ZnO/PANI transparent conductive film has been prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization, APS as an oxidant. The conductivity and transmittance of ZnO/PANI was measured. It has been investigated of the effects of reaction conditions and the doping component on conductivity, transmissivity and adhesion. With the increase of doping ZnO, the conductivity of ZnO/PANI transparent conductive film, transmittance and adhesion reduced. The optimal conditions is that the concentration of An, APS and PVA are 0.75 mol / L, 0.8 mol / L and 0.5wt%, respectively.

ABSTRACTIn situ 57Fe Mössbauer spectra are reported for the first-, higher-stage ferric chloride, and a mixed ferric chloride-potassium chloride intercalated graphite catalysts under reduction and Fischer-Tropsch reaction conditions. The mass spectroscopic measurements reveal a different catalytic selectivity for the three catalysts. The first two catalysts predominantly possess a higher selectivity for methane, whereas the third catalyst has higher selectivity for the formation of propane. The differences are attributed to geometrical effects in the catalytic sites of the intercalated compounds.

: Tuberculosis remains a highly infectious disease across the world. In the identification of new antitubercular agents, coumarin clubbed thiadiazole amides have been synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antitubercular activity. Due to the growing concern about chemicals and their impact on the environment, greener and faster reaction conditions needed to be incorporated. Therefore, we used TBTU as a coupling reagent for efficient and facile synthesis of substituted-N-(5-((7-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromes-4-yl)-methyl)-1,3, 4 - thiadiazol-2-yl)-benzamide 4a-j with good yields up to 95% in mild reaction condition. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for antitubercular activity against the H37Rv strain of M.Tuberculosis. Compounds 4c, 4f, and 4j were found active at 25 µg/mL against M. tb H37Rv. Electron withdrawing substituents present on aromatic side-chain showed promising anti-tubercular activity.

A novel and efficient alkoxylselenenylation from alkenes, diselenides, and alcohols mediated by iodine is developed, with which a series of β-alkoxy selenides are synthesized. In this procedure, firstly, I2 reacts with diselenide to form in situ the active electrophilic selenium species RSeI, then following an electrophilic addition of it to alkenes provides β-alkoxy selenides with high regioselectivity and in good yields. This new method for achieving β-alkoxy selenides has some advantages over other methods such as using available and cheap iodine as the oxidizing species at room temperature, which makes this reaction has milder reaction conditions and simpler procedure.

There is a pressing need for: (i) cleaner fuels (free of aromatics and of minimal sulfur content) or ones that convert chemical energy directly to electricity, silently and without production of noxious oxides and particulates; (ii) chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical processes that may be conducted in a one-step, solvent-free manner, and that use air as the preferred oxidant; and (iii) industrial processes that minimize consumption of energy, production of waste or the use of corrosive, explosive, volatile and nonbiodegradable materials. All these needs and other desiderata, such as the in situ production and containment of aggressive and hazardous reagents, and the avoidance of use of ecologically harmful elements, may be achieved by designing the appropriate heterogeneous inorganic catalyst, which, ideally should be cheap, readily preparable, and fully characterizable, preferably under in situ reaction conditions. A range of nanoporous and nanoparticle catalysts, designed, synthesized, characterized, and tested by the authors and their colleagues, that meet most of the stringent demands of sustainable development and responsible (clean) technology is described. Specific examples that are highlighted include: (a) the production of adipic acid (precursor of polyamides and urethanes) without the use of concentrated nitric acid or the production of greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide; (b) the production of caprolactam (precursor of nylon) without the use of oleum and hydroxylamine sulfate; and (c) the terminal oxyfunctionalization of linear alkanes in air. The topic of biocatalysis and sustainable development is also briefly discussed, and a cautionary note is sounded concerning fast screening methods for the discovery of new inorganic catalysts.

<i>β</i>-Triketonates have been recently used as chelating ligands for lanthanoid ions, presenting unique structures varying from polynuclear assemblies to polymers. In an effort to overcome low solubility of the complexes of tribenzoylmethane, four <i>β</i>-triketones with higher lipophilicity were synthesised. Complexation reactions were performed for each of these molecules using different alkaline bases in alcoholic media. X-ray diffraction studies suggested that the ligands were undergoing decomposition under the reaction conditions. This is proposed to be caused by <i>in situ</i>retro-Claisen condensation reactions, consistent with two examples that have been reported previously. The lability of the lanthanoid cations in the presence of a varying set of potential ligands gave rise to structures where one, two, or three of the molecules involved in the retro-Claisen condensationreaction were linked to the lanthanoid centres. These results, along with measurements of ligand decomposition in the presence of base alone, suggest that using solvents of lower polarity will mimimise the impact of the retro-Claisen condensation in these complexes. <br>
