Abstract Only 1,5-polyenes with three or more double bonds crosslinked in a curing recipe with 2-benzothiazolyl-N-morpholyl disulfide (BMD) or bis(dimethylthiocarbamyl) disulfide (TMTD) as the crosslinking agents. A suitable chemical model for 1,4-polybutadiene (PB) is cycIohexadeca-1,5,9,13-tetraene (CHT). The preparation of CHT is described. The crosslink density of a CHT vulcanizate agreed well with the chemical crosslink density of cis- 1,4-polybutadiene rubber, similarly cured. The crosslink density of the CHT vulcanizate was measured by isolating, identifying, and weighing the various crosslink structures. The non-crosslink structures of the network and the extranetwork structures were also identified and quantified. Various amounts of curative fragments attach to the PB network structure, as exemplified by the amount of curative fragments attached to CHT. About 16% of the lauric acid attached to the network structure. The curing agent, BMD, divided into three fragments: 2-thiobenzothiazole, morpholyl, and thio groups. About 67% of the thio groups, 25% of the 2-thiobenzothiazole groups, and about 6% of the morpholyl groups attached to the network structure. About 57% of the thio groups formed crosslinks. The main crosslink structure was 85% bis(allylic) monosulfide and 15% bis(allylic) disulfide. The length of the disulfide crosslink was only 60 pm greater than the length of the monosulfide crosslink. This compares with the 0.2 nm length of a sulfur atom. Very little cis-trans isomerization occurred in the unreacted CHT as a result of vulcanization. This indicated almost no cis-trans isomerization of unreacted segments of PB in PB vulcanizates. However, extensive cis-trans isomerization occurred in the CHT that crosslinked, which indicates that cis-trans isomerization in PB vulcanizates is confined to the reaction sites of the PB molecules. The configurational isomerism was essentially exclusively cis-to-trans. No trans-to-cis isomerism was observed. The insoluble solid in the vulcanizate was a mixture of cadmium bis(2-thiobenzothiazole), cadmium sulfide, and morpholinium sulfate. Material balances of the reaction products with the curatives showed that 90% by weight of the reaction products of the vulcanization of CHT were identified. The hydrogen transfer balance showed that CHT is the main hydrogen donor during crosslink formation. The morpholyl group from BMD was the main hydrogen acceptor and formed morpholine and morpholinium sulfate. Escape of volatile substances during vulcanization of PB resulted in much reduced crosslinking. For this reason, a hydraulic reactor for vulcanization of liquids, such as CHT, without loss of volatile substances was described.

Although it is recognized that niacin (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid), incorporated as the amide in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), is a cofactor in hydrogen transfer in numerous enzyme reactions in all organisms studied, virtually no information is available on the effect of this vitamin on a cell at the submicroscopic level. Since mitochondria act as sites for many hydrogen transfer processes, the possible response of mitochondria to niacin treatment is, therefore, of critical interest.Onion bulbs were placed on vials filled with double distilled water in the dark at 25°C. After two days the bulbs and newly developed root system were transferred to vials containing 0.1% niacin. Root tips were collected at ¼, ½, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hr. intervals after treatment. The tissues were fixed in glutaraldehyde-OsO4 as well as in 2% KMnO4 according to standard procedures. In both cases, the tissues were dehydrated in an acetone series and embedded in Reynolds' lead citrate for 3-10 minutes.

A catalytic system comprised of a cobalt-diphosphine complex and a Lewis acid (LA) such as AlMe3 has been found to promote hydrocarbofunctionalization reactions of alkynes with Lewis basic and electron-deficient substrates such as formamides, pyridones, pyridines, and azole derivatives through site-selective C-H activation. Compared with known Ni/LA catalytic system for analogous transformations, the present catalytic system not only feature convenient set up using inexpensive and bench-stable precatalyst and ligand such as Co(acac)3 and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), but also display distinct site-selectivity toward C-H activation of pyridone and pyridine derivatives. In particular, a completely C4-selective alkenylation of pyridine has been achieved for the first time. Mechanistic stidies including DFT calculations on the Co/Al-catalyzed addition of formamide to alkyne have suggested that the reaction involves cleavage of the carbamoyl C-H bond as the rate-limiting step, which proceeds through a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) mechanism leading to an alkyl(carbamoyl)cobalt intermediate.

<p>Understanding the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation at the local environment requires chemical and topographic information involving catalytic sites, active hydrogen species and their spatial distribution. Here, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) was employed to study the catalytic hydrogenation of chloro-nitrobenzenethiol on a well-defined Pd(sub-monolayer)/Au(111) bimetallic catalyst (<i>p</i><sub>H2</sub>=1.5 bar, 298 K), where the surface topography and chemical fingerprint information were simultaneously mapped with nanoscale resolution (≈10 nm). TERS imaging of the surface after catalytic hydrogenation confirms that the reaction occurs beyond the location of Pd sites. The results demonstrate that hydrogen spillover accelerates hydrogenation at the Au sites within 20 nm from the bimetallic Pd/Au boundary. Density functional theory was used to elucidate the thermodynamics of interfacial hydrogen transfer. We demonstrate that TERS as a powerful analytical tool provides a unique approach to spatially investigate the local structure-reactivity relationship in catalysis.</p>

The Friedlander reaction is the most commonly used method to synthesis substituted quinolines, the essential intermediates in the medicine industry. A facile one-pot approach for synthesizing substituted quinolines by the reaction of isoxazoles, ammonium formate-Pd/C, concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and ketones using Friedlander reaction conditions is reported. Procedures for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives were optimized, and the yield was up to 90.4%. The yield of aromatic ketones bearing electron-withdrawing groups was better than the ones with electron-donating substituents. The structures of eight substituted quinolines were characterized by MS, IR, H-NMR and 13CNMR, which were in agreement with the expected structures. The mechanism for the conversion was proposed, which involved the Pd/C catalytic hydrogen transfer reduction of unsaturated five-membered ring of isoxazole to produce ortho-amino aromatic ketones. Then the nucleophilic addition of with carbonyl of the ketones generated Schiff base in situ, which underwent an intermolecular aldol reaction followed by the elimination of H2O to give production of substituted quinolines. This new strategy can be readily applied for the construction of quinolines utilizing a diverse range of ketones and avoids the post-reaction separation of the o-amino aromatic ketone compounds. The conventionally used o-amino aromatic ketone compounds in Friedlander reaction to prepare substituted quinoline are laborious to synthesize and are apt to self-polymerize. While oxazole adopted in this work can be prepared at ease by the condensation of benzoacetonitrile and nitrobenzene derivatives under the catalysis of a strong base. Moreover, the key features of this protocol are readily available starting materials, excellent functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and feasibility for scaling up.

μ-(η5 : η5-Fulvalene)-di-μ-hydrido-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyltitanium) and μ-(η5 : η5-fulvalene)-μ-chloro-μ-hydrido-bis(cyclopentadienyltitanium) form a thermally stable complex which catalyzes the intermolecular hydrogen transfer in unsaturated hydrocarbons, in addition to isomerizations and cyclizations. Cyclic hydrocarbons disproportionate under catalysis to saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, while linear olefins yield predominantly linear alkanes and high molecular weight tar. The catalyst enables the hydrocarbon system to approach the thermodynamic equilibrium through a series of substitution reactions between alkyl- and allyltitanocene-like species and olefins and dienes. The catalytic complex was characterized by UV and ESR spectra. About one half of overall titanium content could be converted to mononuclear η3-allyltitanocene-like species, stable up to 400 °C. This exceptional thermal stability is ascribed to a firmly bound allyl containing ligand.
