The application of kynurenic acid (KYNA) as an electron-rich aromatic system in the modified Mannich reaction has been examined. The extension possibility of the reaction was tested by using amines occurring in a number of bioactive products, such as morpholine, piperidine, or N-methylpiperazine and aldehydes of markedly different reactivities, like formaldehyde and benzaldehyde. The influence of substituents attached to position 3 on the aminoalkylation was also investigated. Thus, reactions of 3-carbamoyl-substituted precursors with tertiary amine containing side-chains were also tested to afford new KYNA derivatives with two potential cationic centers. By means of NMR spectroscopic measurements, supported by DFT calculations, the dominant tautomer form of KYNA derivatives was also determined.

The influence of prepolymer structure on glass transition temperatures (Tg) of cross-linked polyurethanes has been studied with polysebacates from a homologous family of N-substituted bis(2-hydroxyalkyl)amines. The tertiary amine segments have made it possible to study the effect of lengthening the side chains (C1–C18) and inserting gauche interactions in the polymeric chain. The results show that in this system, adding gauche interactions has more effect on Tg than lengthening the side chains. Each time a gauche interaction is introduced in the diol segments, Tg increases by 9 °C. Comparisons with other systems are also presented.

Coal is a pressure-sensitive organic rock. The effect of tectonism on the structural evolution of medium-rank coal has been confirmed by the change in the crystal state of tectonic coal, but the organic molecular level response has not been reported. In this paper, three sets of medium-rank tectonic coals and symbiotic nontectonic coals were selected. The distributions of their functional groups and their molecular structure evolution were assessed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and their structural parameters were determined from the curve-fitting analysis. The nanoscale structural jump characteristics and mechanisms of medium-rank tectonic coal were revealed. Compared with symbiotic nontectonic coal, tectonism accelerated the exfoliation of side chains (groups) in the macromolecular structure, enlarged the aromatic system, and removed the unstable groups such as associative hydrogen bonds at first, which indicated that the molecular structure of tectonic coal was affected by nanoscale deformation, showing obvious advanced evolution characteristics. For the fat coal, the removal of side chains (groups) during the formation of tectonic coal makes the aromatic ring condensation obvious. For the coking coal, the formation of tectonic coal is dominated by cycloaliphatic dehydrogenation and aromatization, accompanied by the condensation of the aromatic rings. The tectonic coal formed from lean coal shows obvious aromatization characteristics. The molecular depolymerization and chemical tailoring caused by tectonism promotes the removal of hydrophobic side chains (groups) and activates some polar structure sites in coal. It is considered that the nanoscale structural jump of medium-rank tectonic coal is the result of the competition between the aromatic system and aliphatic structures.

A cycloaddition approach to the functionalized tricyclo[9.3.1.03,8]pentadecene skeleton contained in Taxol® is described. The cyclohexenone 13 was converted as illustrated to the nitrile-aldehyde 24 to which the diene and acetylenic side chains were attached by sequential nucleophilic additions. Removal of the trimethylsilyl protecting group and Dess–Martin oxidation afforded the triene 35. Microwave-assisted thermal cyclization stereoselectively generated the tricyclic ketone 36 whose structure was further established by conversion to the aromatic system 37 upon treatment with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). An epoxidation sequence was developed to introduce the epimeric C13 alcohol 47 as required for this cycloaddition strategy. Alternatively, an allylic oxidation (CrO3, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole) afforded the C13 ketone 49. Keywords: Taxol®, Diels–Alder, synthesis, diterpene, alkaloid.

DFT calculations showed that with the increase of the aromatic system size, values of positive electrostatic potential above the central areas of energetic molecules decrease, leading to the decrease in the sensitivities towards detonation.

Abstract Cyclic phosphoric acids have attracted much attention as chiral organocatalysts. While binaphthol based ligands have been extensively used in various transformations, the analogous TADDOL-type ligands are less explored. A library of seventeen cyclic phosphoric acids with structural variation of the TADDOL backbone were synthesized and an optimization study of the Mannich reaction of aromatic N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imines with 2,2-dimethyl-1-methoxy-silylenolate was performed. Enantioselectivities between 96% (S) and 70% (R) were observed and a rationalisation, based on crystal structure analysis and DFT calculations, is provided.
