Equilibrium constants (KDM) for reactions between acids and bases of the title compounds in CD2Cl2 (DM) have been determined by 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. [HPCy3]BPh4 and [HPCy3]BF4, with pKDM assigned by literature convention to 9.7, have been used as the anchor compounds for the pKDM determinations. A continuous scale of pKDM values covering the range 9.7 to 5.7 is created with the acidic compounds [HPR3]BPh4. Those acids with pKDM greater than 6 are stable, while those with more acidic cations HPR3+ protonate BPh4– to produce R3PBPh3 and benzene. The literature pKTHF values reported for [HPBu2Ph]BPh4, [HPMePh2]BPh4, and [HPEtPh2]BPh4 are questionable because of this protonation reaction. NOE and PGSE 1H NMR techniques are used to show that [HPCy2Ph]BPh4 in DM exists as ion pairs and higher aggregates up to quadrupoles at the concentrations used in the acid–base studies. The new dihydrogen complexes [Ru(H2)Cl(PPh3)2(dach)]BF4 (dach = (1R,2R)-(–)-diaminocyclohexane) and [Ru(H2)Cl{tmeP2(NH)2}]BF4 (tmeP2(NH)2 = PPh2C6H4CH2NHCMe2CMe2NHCH2C6H4PPh2) were prepared by reaction of RuHCl(PPh3)2(dach) and RuHCl{tmeP2(NH)2} with HBF4. Their crystal structures are reported, and the pKDM values of their BPh4– salts were determined to be 8.6 and 6.9, respectively.Key words: acidity, dihydrogen complex, hydride, phosphonium, dichloromethane.

Reaction of the CH-acidic compounds 2-nitropropane, cyclopentadiene and 9-ethylfluorene with HON (nBu)4 affords the corresponding tetrabutylammonium salts in crystalline form, which have been characterized by X -ray structure analysis. The nitrostabilized salt is not a “naked ” anion (real carbanion). Rather, the α-methylene entities of the N+(nBu)4 cations form relatively strong hydrogen bonds with the O -atom s of the nitronateanion, forming dimers in a three-dimensional network. In solution dimers in the form of supramolecular ion pairs exist. In contrast, the cyclopentadienyl anion appears to be a real carbanion, since anion and cation do not interact with one another via H -bonding. The structure of the N+(nBu)4 salt of the 9-ethylfluorenyl anion is a special case in that closer contacts between cation and anion occur, which may be indicative of unusual [CH ··· C]- bonding. All three salts function as initiators in the metal-free anionic polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates at room temperature. In the case of tetrabutylammoniumcyclopentadienide, star polymers are formed.

CaHPO4 and SrHPO4 were investigated using Raman, 1H NMR and 31P NMR techniques to study the environment of their PO3−4 tetrahedra and the percentage of mobile protons. 1H NMR spectra at room temperature suggest the presence of three types of protons, in agreement with RX investigation. The percentage of mobile protons in SrHPO4 is greater than in CaHPO4 because Sr2+ is bigger than Ca2+. 31P NMR spectra at room temperature show two lines in the spectrum of SrHPO4, revealing an equal environment of two sets of pairs of PO3− 4 . The 31P NMR spectrum of CaHPO4, however, exhibits three lines. This result was confirmed using a cross polarization (CP) sequence program. The first peak is attributed to the first set of pairs of P(1)O4 units and the two other ones to P(2)O4 and P(2)O4 units.

The insertion of isonitriles R' NC (R' = t-Bu, C6H11, CH2C6H5) occurs exclusively into the Ta—CH2 bonds of the zwitterionic compounds (C5H4R)2Ta[CH2B(C6F5)3]CH3 (R = H, 1a; R = CH3, 1b) at relatively slow rates at room temperature to form N-out isomers as the sole kinetic products. By comparison, insertion of the same isonitrile substrates into a Ta—CH3 bond of the non-zwitterionic analogs [(C5H4R)2Ta(CH3)2][A] (R = H, A = B(C6F5)4, 3a; R = CH3, A = BF4, 3b) occurs much more rapidly, again to form N-out isomers exclusively under kinetic conditions. The difference in rate is attributed to the presence of a ground state α-agostic interaction in the zwitterionic compounds, which is not featured in the dimethyl ion pairs. All of the N-out isomers formed undergo thermal and irreversible conversion to the corresponding N-in isomers at rates that are conveniently followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The rates were studied at different temperatures to obtain activation parameters for each transformation. The rate and activation trends for this isomerization were analyzed as a function of the structural changes in the compounds. It was found that the rate decreased as the steric bulk of the isonitrile substitutent R' increased and that the rates were faster for the series that incorporated the more electron-donating C5H4CH3 ancillary ligand. Furthermore, isomerization rates for the zwitterionic N-out compounds were faster than those found in the non-zwitterionic series. This study represents one of the more extensive kinetic analyses of the rate of N-out to N-in isomerization as a function of structural changes. The observations are consistent with the mechanistic picture that has been developed for this process, involving dissociation of the η2 iminoacyl ligand, rotation about the M—Ciminoacyl bond and recoordination to the inside site of the metallocene wedge. Key words: cationic metallocenes, isocyanide insertion, agostic interactions, tantalum.

A strategy in preparing a family of hexameric porphyrin cubes based on the interplay of Sn(IV)-O and Ru(II)-N interactions is described. In this first iteration, we have prepared the heptamer [SnIV(TPyP)·(4)2][Ru(CO)(TPP)]6 (4 = (E)-(3-(4-pyridyl)acrylate)) constituting a 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (TPyP) core and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) faces and compared its formation by stepwise and "one-pot" strategies where up to nine components are assembled in a single step in a regiospecific manner. In one example, the heptamer is formed around the template [SnIV(TPyP)·(4)2] bearing pyridine groups in which the nitrogens radiate octahedrally along each vertex. The ability to modulate the axial vertex through choice of pyridine is also demonstrated. 1H NMR measurements on [SnIV(TPyP)·(4)2][Ru(CO)(TPP)]6 indicate that the protons on the core template are extremely shielded as a result of the anisotropy of the peripheral porphyrin units. Various NMR techniques, including NOESY experiments, have been used to characterise the heptamer in solution.

Poly(dichlorophosphazene) was prepared by melt ring-opening polymerization of the hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene. Poly[bis(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate)-phosphazene] and poly[(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate)-graft-poly(lactic-acid)-phosphazene] were obtained by nucleophilic condensation reactions at different concentrations of the substituents. The properties of the synthesized copolymers were assessed by FTIR,1H-NMR and31P-NMR, thermal analysis (DSC-TGA), and electron microscopy (SEM). The copolymers have a block structure and show twoTg's below room temperature. They are stable up to a temperature of 100°C. The type of the substituents attached to the PZ backbone determines the morphology of the polymers.

A series of derivatives with various oxygen functionalities in positions 17,22a or 19,20 was prepared from diene I and olefin XVI by addition and oxidation reactions. The structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The kind of intramolecular association of the 17α-hydroxy group was studied in connection with modification of the side chain and substitution in position 22a. Complete assignment of the hydrogen signals and most of the coupling constants was accomplished using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra are discussed.

In this study, soda alkali lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB-AL) and kenaf core (KC-AL) are esterified with maleic anhydride under two different conditions, namely i) pyridine at temperature of 120°C for 3h and ii) aqueous alkaline solution at room temperature for 4h. As a result, the weight percentage gain (WPG) of the esterified EFB-AL (EFB-EL) and esterified KC-AL (KC-EL) in pyridine demonstrated a higher compared to aqueous alkaline solution. The FT-IR results of EFB-EL and KC-EL in both solvents exhibited some changes at the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, the esterification process induced the carboxylic peak to appear in both alkali lignin samples. The outcome is confirmed by conducting H-NMR analysis, which demonstrated ester and carboxylic acid peaks within the spectral analysis. Finally, the TGA results showed both EFB-EL and KC-EL that are exposed to aqueous alkaline actually possessed better thermal stability and higher activation energy (Ea) compared to the esterified samples in pyridine.

AbstractAn ethanol extract fromVeratrum lobelianumBernh. rhizomes showed larvicidal activity with LC50values of 11.79 ppm and 89.9 ppm against 1stand 4thinstar larvae, respectively, at 24 h post-treatment. The extract also showed proportion not biting (PNB) value of 0.76 at 100 μg/cm2against females ofAe.aegypti. Systematic bioassay-guided fractionation ofV.lobelianumextract resulted in the isolation of five compounds that were identified as ethyl palmitate (1), ethyl linoleate (2), β-sitosterol (3), resveratrol (4) and oxyresveratrol (5) by GC-MS,1H-NMR, and13C-NMR techniques, comparison with literature data, and confirmation with authentic compounds. Compound2exhibited larvicidal activity with an LC50value of 24.1 (22.0-26.2) ppm whereas1was inactive. β-Sitosterol (3) displayed the highest larvicidal activity with LC50= 1.7 (1.3-12.3) ppm and LC90= 5.1 (3.4-13.8) ppm. Compounds4and5had larvicidal activity with LC50values of 18.5 (15.3-23.3) and 22.6 (19.0-26.8) ppm, respectively, and had an equivalent PNB values of 0.75 at 25 nmol/cm2. In addition,4and5were explored for their human-based repellency againstAe.aegypti, attractiveness against male medfliesCeratitis capitata, and also evaluated against series of human carcinoma cells (A549, HEK293, HeLa, SH-SY5Y); however, no significant activity was found.

<p>Nucleophilic substitution on hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCTP) with allylamine in order to give hexa(allylamino)cyclotriphosphazene (HACTP)  is performed for the first time under mild conditions by using diethylether as solvent to replace benzene which is very toxic. The reaction time is reduced to half and also performed at room temperature but especially in the presence of an eco-catalyst called Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup>. This catalyst has a significant role in the industrial scale. In fact, the use of Maghnite is preferred for its many advantages: a very low purchase price compared to other catalysts, the easy removal of the reaction mixture. Then, Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup> is became an excellent catalyst for many chemical reactions. The structure of HACTP synthesized in the presence of Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup> to 5% by weight is confirmed by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, <sup>13</sup>C-NMR, <sup>31</sup>P-NMR (Nuclear magnetic resonance) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy). MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-time-of-flight mass spectrometry) is used to establish the molecular weight of HACTP which is 471 g/mol. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetery) and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) show that HACTP is a crystalline product with a melting point of 88 °C. It is reactive after melting but is degraded from 230 °C. Copyright © 2016 BCREC GROUP.
