Renewable carbon feedstocks such as biomass and CO 2 present an important element of future circular economy. Especially biomass as highly functionalized feedstock provides manifold opportunities for the transformation into attractive platform chemicals. However, this change of the resources requires a paradigm shift in refinery design. Fossil feedstocks are processed in gas phase at elevated temperature. In contrast, biorefineries are based on processes in polar solvents at moderate conditions to selectively deoxygenate the polar, often thermally instable and high-boiling molecules. Here, challenges of catalytic deoxygenation, novel strategies for separation and opportunities provided at the interface to biotechnology are discussed in form of showcases. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Providing sustainable catalytic solutions for a rapidly changing world’.

3-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-Nitroquinolines react with 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole in basic medium (potassium tert-butoxide-dimethyl sulfoxide) giving amino products of the vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) of hydrogen, predominantly at ortho position to the nitro group, except 8-nitroquinoline, which reacts at para position. Additionally, furazano[3,4-f]- and furazano[3,4-h]quinoline were obtained in the case of 5- and 8- nitroquinoline, respectively. 2-Nitroquinoline was aminated to 2-quinolino(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)amine in these conditions.Key words: nitroquinolines, vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS), 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole.

The gas-phase identity bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions, Cl- + CH3 Cl → ClCH3 + Cl- and Cl- + SiH3Cl → ClSiH3 + Cl- , are investigated in terms of the ab initio method, potential acting on an electron in a molecule (PAEM) and molecular face (MF) theory. The computations have been performed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/6-311+G(3df,3pd) and CISD/aug-cc-pVDZ level. Based on the ab initio calculation, according to the PAEM theory, the strength of a chemical bond during forming or rupturing may be characterized by the D pb , which is a new physical quantity relating to the barrier height of the PAEM along a chemical bond. According to the MF theory, the interesting pictures of electron transfer and interpolarization effect between the reactants are clearly demonstrated to provide visualized spatial changing features of the MF for the title reactions along the IRC routes. The reason why [ Cl⋯CH3⋯Cl]- is a high-energy transition state is also analyzed in comparison with the stable low-energy intermediate [ Cl⋯SiH3⋯Cl]- .

The objective of this work is to perform a theoretical analysis of the antioxidant properties of a series of 8-hydroxyquinolines (8-HQs) to rationalize the available experimental results and to design new potent 8-HQ derivatives. The study was carried out in gas phase and in methanol at the DFT/B3LYP/ 6-311++G(d,p) computational level. The formation of stable ArO• radicals is discussed on the basis of different mechanisms, namely, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT), and single proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The obtained results show that the HAT mechanism is, thermodynamically, more favoured in gas phase, whereas the SPLET pathway is more favoured in polar solvents. The calculated thermochemical descriptors allow classification of the antioxidant power of the studied compounds.

A computational study of medium effect on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and different molecular properties like chemical hardness & softness, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of metronidazole have been reported in this paper. Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) level of theory with 6-31G (d,p) basis set was applied for gas phase and solution. The effect of solvent polarity on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and molecular properties were calculated by employing Solvation Model on Density (SMD). The solvation free energies and dipole moment of metronidazole were found to be increased in nonpolar to polar solvents. The dipole moment of metronidazole was higher in different solvent than that of the gas phase. Moreover, from non-polar to polar solvents the chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index were increased. On the other hand, opposite relation was found in the case of chemical hardness and softness. The results obtained in this study may lead to understand the stability and reactivity of metronidazole and the results will be of assistance to use the title molecule as reaction intermediates and pharmaceuticals.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(1): 9-14, 2016
