Three structurally related specific ecdysteroid derivatives, 7,7'-dimers of 14-deoxy-8(14)-ene transformed 20-hydroxyecdysone, ponasterone A and ajugasterone C, were obtained by photochemical transformation. The structures of the dimeric ecdysteroids were identified mainly by NMR spectroscopy supported by MS and IR spectroscopy. Yields of the dimerisation products were dependent on the reactant concentrations and photoreaction conditions. Inert gas atmosphere supported high yields, whereas oxygen atmosphere fully prevented the dimer formation. All the three dimers retained a rather high agonistic activity at the ecdysteroid receptor in the Drosophila BII bioassay when compared with the relevant original ecdysteroids.

Kinetics of homogenous hydrogenation of 1-heptene catalysed by rhodium(I) complexes prepared in situ from μ,μ'-dichloro-bis(cyclooctenerhodium) and phosphines of the type RP(C6H5)2 (R = -CH3, -(CH2)nSi(CH3)3; n = 1-4) have been studied. The substitution of the ligands by the trimethylsilyl group was found to increase significantly the catalytic activity of the complexes. The results are discussed in relation to the electron density on the phosphorus atom determined by 31P NMR spectroscopy and to its proton acceptor ability determined by IR spectroscopy.

(2S,3R,6R)-2-[(R)-1-Hydroxyallyl]-4,4-dimethoxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ol was isolated in 18% after treating the glucose derived (5R,6S,7R)-5,6,7-tris[(triethylsilyl)oxy]nona-1,8-dien-4-one with (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA). The one-pot formation of the title compound involved triethylsilyl (TES) removal, alkene isomerization, intramolecular conjugate addition and ketal formation. The compound was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy was used to establish the product structure, including the conformation of its tetrahydropyran ring.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

A zinc(II) triflate-catalyzed cyclocondensation of ortho-alkynylbenzaldehydes with arylamines in the presence of base under an oxygen atmosphere affording isoquinolones in good to high yields has been developed. The advantages of the present catalyst system include the use of an air-stable and cheap commercially available Lewis acid as the catalyst, high atom utilization and easily available starting materials.

The (carbonyl)dihydride complex [(triphos)Ru(CO)H2] (2) has been synthesized by reaction of the ruthenate [(triphos)RuH3]K (triphos = MeC(CH2PPh2)3) with ethanol saturated with CO. A single crystal X-ray analysis and IR and NMR experiments have shown that 2 adopts in both the solid state and solution an octahedral coordination geometry with a facial triphos ligand, two cis terminal hydrides, and a terminal carbonyl. The reaction of hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) with 2 has been studied in CH2Cl2 solution by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The proton donor interacts with a terminal hydride of 2 forming a rather strong hydrogen bond. The resulting H-bonded adduct [{(triphos)Ru(CO)(H)H}···{HOCH(CF3)2}] (2a) has fully been characterized by in situ NMR and IR techniques. Compound 2a is in equilibrium with the nonclassical η2-H2 complex [(triphos)Ru(CO)H(H2)]+ (2b), which can independently be prepared by protonation of 2 with a strong protic acid at low temperature. Unequivocal characterization of the dihydrogen complex (2b) has been achieved by a multifaceted spectroscopic investigation (Tobs1min = 0.005 s (200 MHz), JH,D [Formula: see text] 30 Hz, DQCC = 78.3 kHz). A combined IR and NMR study of the proton transfer reaction involving 2 and HFIP in CH2Cl2 to give, first, the H-bonded adduct (2a) and, then, the dihydrogen complex (2b) has demonstrated that all these species are in equilibrium in the temperature range from 190 to 260 K. The thermodynamic parameters for the formation of 2a have independently been determined by NMR and IR methods, while those for the formation of 2b have been obtained by IR spectroscopy. An energetic profile for the reaction sequence 2 [Formula: see text] 2a [Formula: see text] 2b is proposed and discussed.Key words: hydrides, hydrogen bonding, ruthenium, IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy.

Iron oxide nanoparticles have received remarkable attention in different applications. For biomedical applications, they need to possess suitable core size, acceptable hydrodynamic diameter, high saturation magnetization, and reduced toxicity. Our aim is to control the synthesis parameters of nanostructured iron oxides in order to obtain magnetite nanoparticles in a single step, in environmentally friendly conditions, under inert gas atmosphere. The physical–chemical, structural, magnetic, and biocompatible properties of magnetite prepared by hydrothermal method in different temperature and pressure conditions have been explored. Magnetite formation has been proved by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction characterization. It has been found that crystallite size increases with pressure and temperature increase, while hydrodynamic diameter is influenced by temperature. Magnetic measurements indicated that the magnetic core of particles synthesized at high temperature is larger, in accordance with the crystallite size analysis. Particles synthesized at 100 °C have nearly identical magnetic moments, at 20 × 103 μB, corresponding to magnetic cores of 10–11 nm, while the particles synthesized at 200 °C show slightly higher magnetic moments (25 × 103 μB) and larger magnetic cores (13 nm). Viability test results revealed that the particles show only minor intrinsic toxicity, meaning that these particles could be suited for biomedical applications.
