SYNTHESIS OF 2-NITRO-1,3-BIS(3,3’-DIHYDROXYMETHYL)-1,2,3-TRIAZOLYL-2-AZAPROPANE BY THE REACTION OF AZIDE-ALKYN CYCLOADDITION

2-Нитро-1,3-бис(3,3'-дигидроксиметил)-1,2,3-триазолил-2-азапропан (2-НДТАП) представляет интерес в качестве исходного вещества в синтезе высокоэнергетических соединений. В статье рассмотрен синтез 2-НДТАП реакцией азид-алкинового циклоприсоединения 1,3-диазидо-2-нитро-2-азапропана с пропаргиловым спиртом в среде трет-бутилового спирта в присутствии медного катализатора (проволока, порошок меди, оксид меди, нанооксид меди). Исследовано влияние катализатора и температуры процесса на его продолжительность, выход и качество продукта. Структура 2-НДТАП подтверждена методами ИК- и ЯМР-спектроскопии. В результате разработан метод получения 2-НДТАП с выходом 62 % и содержанием основного вещества выше 97 %. 2-Nitro-1,3-bis (3,3'-dihydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazolyl-2-azapropane (2-NDTAP) is of interest as a starting material in the synthesis of high-energy compounds. The article discusses the synthesis of 2-NDTAP the reaction of azide-alkyne cycloaddition 1,3-diazido-2-nitro-2-azapropane with propargyl alcohol in tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of a copper catalyst (wire, copper powder, copper oxide, nano copper oxide). The influence of the catalyst and the temperature of the process on its duration, yield and product quality has been investigated. The structure of 2-NDTAP was confirmed by IR and NMR spectroscopy. As a result, a method for obtaining 2-NDTAP with a yield of 62 % and a basic substance content of more than 97 % was developed.

Reactional Processes on Osmium–Polymeric Membranes for 5–Nitrobenzimidazole Reduction

Membranes are associated with the efficient processes of separation, concentration and purification, but a very important aspect of them is the realization of a reaction process simultaneously with the separation process. From a practical point of view, chemical reactions have been introduced in most membrane systems: with on-liquid membranes, with inorganic membranes or with polymeric and/or composite membranes. This paper presents the obtaining of polymeric membranes containing metallic osmium obtained in situ. Cellulose acetate (CA), polysulfone (PSf) and polypropylene hollow fiber membranes (PPM) were used as support polymer membranes. The metallic osmium is obtained directly onto the considered membranes using a solution of osmium tetroxide (OsO4), dissolved in tert–butyl alcohol (t–Bu–OH) by reduction with molecular hydrogen. The composite osmium–polymer (Os–P)-obtained membranes were characterized in terms of the morphological and structural points of view: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution SEM (HR–SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis (EDAX), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The process performance was tested for reduction of 5–nitrobenzimidazole to 5–aminobenzimidazole with molecular hydrogen. The paper presents the main aspects of the possible mechanism of transformation of 5–nitrobenzimidazole to 5–aminobenzimidazole with hydrogen gas in the reaction system with osmium–polymer membrane (Os–P).

Laser Light Trapping Phenomenon in a 3D Radiotherapy Polymer Gel Dosimeter

This paper aims to explain the phenomenon of laser light trapping (LLT) in a 3D polymer gel dosimeter. A VIC-T polymer gel dosimeter containing 17% N-vinylpyrrolidone, 8% N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide, 12% tert-butyl alcohol, 5% gelatine, 0.02% hydroquinone and 14 mM tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride was used in this study. It was exposed to green laser light with a wavelength of 532 nm. A film was recorded during the exposure. After exposure, Raman spectroscopy was used to study the reactions taking place inside the dosimeter. The obtained results were used to explain what the LLT phenomenon is, what are the consequences for the dosimeter in which such a phenomenon occurs, and what dosimeter components play an important role in the occurrence of LLT. In addition, the conditions under which 3D polymer gel dosimeters can be measured using optical computed tomography at short wavelengths of visible laser light are indicated.
