Through a combined computational and isotopic labeling study, it has been observed that the activation energy for the aryl–alkyne ring closure of the azaborine containing 4-ethynyl-4a-aza-4b-boraphenanthrene is dramatically lower, and it appears to proceed via an alternate mechanism than that of its hydrocarbon analog. This catalyst-free reaction proceeds at modest reaction conditions compared with traditional pyrolytic synthetic methods and holds promise for the efficient construction of fused ring systems containing azaborine functional groups that may not be accessible in the purely hydrocarbon form.

<a>Sulfones and sulfonamides with an α-CH bond can be easily alkylated by aliphatic alcohols to add the carbon skeleton of the alcohol via a one-step, Ru(II) catalyzed redox neutral reaction. The reaction requires a sub-stoichiometric amount of base and produces only water as a byproduct. A number of pharmaceutically relevant functional groups such as piperidine, morpholine, etc. are well tolerated under the reaction conditions to give higher value-added products in one step from widely available substrates. The reaction proceeds through a sulfone carbanion addition to an in-situ generated aldehyde formed via catalytic dehydrogenation and subsequent catalyst mediated replacement of the secondary alcohol by hydrogen.</a>

Abstract A practical and efficient synthetic route to construct a variety of 3-arylselenenyl/3-arylthio spiro[4.5]trienones was developed using Selectfluor reagent as a mild oxidant. This reaction proceeds via a sequence of electrophilic cation addition, spirocyclization and dearomatization, then offers an approach to introduce Se/S-centered cation into the C–C triple bonds. The utility of this protocol were justified by the excellent compatibility of a wide range of functional groups, good yields and scalability under mild reaction conditions.

AbstractFor many decades, organohalide and organophosphate compounds have shown significant detrimental impact on the environment. Consequently, strategies for their remediation continue to be an area of emerging need. The reduction of the chlorpyrifos pesticide, a molecule that bears both organohalide and organophosphate functional groups, is an important area of investigation due to it toxic nature. In this report, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the biological molecule, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) toward chemically reducing chlorpyrifos. The FMN was found to be highly active when anchored to nanocrystalline TiO2 surfaces. The results show new directions toward the remediation of organic contaminants under mild reaction conditions.

Regiospecific formation of 10-allyl-1-ketoquinolizidine (7) is achieved in high yield by a [2.3] sigmatropic rearrangement of N-allyl-1-ketoquinolizidinium bromide (6). Wolff–Kischner reduction of 7 affords 10-allylquinolizidine (8) contaminated by the 10-propyl and 10-ethynyl analogs in amounts which depend on the reaction conditions. The carbon-13 spectrum of 8 indicates a trans-fused ring system with an axial substituent at C-10.

Supported 3wt%Pd/α-Al₂O₃ catalyst was tested in selective oxidation of 1,2-propanediol by molecular oxygen. It was found that the catalyst is active in an alkaline water solution. Lactic acid was obtained as the main product of the reaction. Influence of different reaction conditions on 1,2-PDO conversion and oxidation process selectivity was studied. Partial kinetic orders of the reaction with respect to 1,2-propanediol, c0(NaOH), p(O2), n(1,2-PDO)/n(Pd)) were determined and an experimental kinetic model of the catalytic oxidation reaction was obtained. Activation energy of the process was calculated and was found to be about 53 ± 5 kJ/mol.

The present investigation described the effective preparation of glucosamine hydrochloride (GluHCl) from chitin which was extracted from indigenous shrimp shell. GluHCl has attracted much attention owing to its therapeutic activity in osteoarthritis and widely used dietary supplement. The key step involved was extraction of chitin from shrimp skeleton and then hydrolysis of chitin by concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction proceeds via break down of glycoside linkage. Structural analysis was carried out by melting point, TLC, FT-IR, elemental analysis and all the data were compared with that of standard GluHCl. The elemental (C, 32.75; H, 6.51; N, 6.20) analysis is good concord with the calculated value (C, 33.42; H, 6.54; N, 6.50). Absence of v max at 1726 cm-1 indicates that GluHCl is a deacetylated product of chitin. The yields of the product mainly depend on reaction conditions. Maximum yield (63.5%) was obtained when chitin was hydrolyzed with concentrated HCl for 1.30 h. Key words: Shrimp shell; Chitin, Acid hydrolysis; Glucosamine hydrochloride Osteoarthritis.
