Chemistry Faculty Publications

The title compound, C33H24N8O16, was obtained as a product of the photoreaction between 1,3-di-9-anthrylpropane and tetra­nitro­methane. The mol­ecule occupies a special position on a twofold axis. The trinitro­methyl and nitro substituents on the 9,10-dihydro­acridine system are E oriented.

In the title electron donor–acceptor complex, C27H22N2·0.5C6Cl4O2, the p-chloranil mol­ecule lies on a crystallographic inversion center, which is located at the center of the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, one p-chloranil mol­ecule lies above and below the central rings of each donor group of two neighboring 1,3-bis­(9H-carbazol-9-yl)propane mol­ecules, with a ring-centroid separation of 3.444 (1) Å. The angle between the planes of the stacking rings of the carbazole and p-chloranil mol­ecules is 3.4 (2)°.


10,10′-Dinitro-10,10′-(Butane-1,4-Di­Yl)Dianthracen-9(10h)-One, Mustafa Arslan, Erol Asker, John Masnovi, Ronald J. Baker Jul 2006

10,10′-Dinitro-10,10′-(Butane-1,4-Di­Yl)Dianthracen-9(10h)-One, Mustafa Arslan, Erol Asker, John Masnovi, Ronald J. Baker

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The title compound, C32H24N2O6, was obtained as the decomposition product of (E,E)-1,4-bis­[9,10-dihydro-9-nitro-10-(trinitro­meth­yl)-9-anthr­yl]butane, which was synthesized via a photochemical reaction of 1,4-bis­(9-anthr­yl)butane with tetra­nitro­methane. The asymmetric unit contains one half-mol­ecule; the complete mol­ecule is generated by a center of inversion. The crystal packing is determined mainly by inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.

The title compound, C31H22N2O6, was obtained as the decomposition product of (E,E)-1,3-bis­[9,10-dihydro-9-nitro-10-(trinitro­meth­yl)-9-anthr­yl]propane, which was synthesized via a photochemical reaction of 1,3-di-9-anthrylpropane with tetra­nitro­methane. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions are the most prominent features of the crystal packing; no indications of any inter­molecular π–π stacking were found.


Secondary N-Nitrosocarbamate Anions: Structure And Alkylation Reactions. A Dft Study, Vladimir Benin May 2006

Secondary N-Nitrosocarbamate Anions: Structure And Alkylation Reactions. A Dft Study, Vladimir Benin

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The current article reports theoretical studies (DFT: B3LYP/6-31+G(d)) on the structure and alkylation reactions of the anions of some secondary N-nitrosocarbamates, a class of ambident nucleophiles whose chemistry has been little explored. Several anions (1–4), with an increasing size of the carbamate alkyl (aryl) group were investigated, in an attempt to establish the influence of the size of that group on the thermal stability and regioselectivity of alkylation of the title anions. The conclusion is that thermal stability and the mode of reaction are affected significantly only in the presence of very large and branched carbamate groups. The thermal …

Bis(9-Ethyl­Carbazol-3-Yl)Ethane, Erol Asker, John Masnovi

Chemistry Faculty Publications

In the title compound, C30H28N2, each carbazole skeleton is essentially planar. The planes of the two carbazole ring systems are nearly parallel, with a dihedral angle of 2.33 (19)°. The crystal packing is stabilized only by van der Waals forces and weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.


9-Ethyl-3-(9h-9-Ethyl­Carbazol-3-Yl)-4-Nitro­-9h-Carbazole, Erol Asker, John Masnovi Apr 2006

9-Ethyl-3-(9h-9-Ethyl­Carbazol-3-Yl)-4-Nitro­-9h-Carbazole, Erol Asker, John Masnovi

Chemistry Faculty Publications

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C28H23N3O2, the nitro group is almost perpendicular to the carbazole ring to which it is attached. The crystal packing is determined by C—H⋯O and π–π inter­actions, where the nitrated carbazole ring of one mol­ecule associates in a shifted parallel planar orientation with the centrosymmetrically related non-nitrated carbazole ring of a neighbouring mol­ecule.

Composition Ot Glvceride Esters Of Lauric Acid Bv Ftir Band Shape Analysis, Deniz P. Wong, Modesto Tan Chua, Erwin P. Enriquez

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Synthesis of glyceride esters of a fatty acid produces a mixture of isomers that are difficult to separate and analyze, requiring high temperature GC in most cases particularly for long-chain esters. In this paper, we present a fast estimation of the composition of the glyceride esters of lauric acid and glycerol (monolaurin, dilaurin, and trilaurin) by FTIR band shape analysis. The method uses the fact that the carbonyl stretching regions of the pure glycerides have differentband shapes, which implies any composite band of a mixture of glycerides may be resolved into the component peaks due to each glyceride. The carbonyl …

In the title compound, C28H24N2, the carbazole ring systems are essentially planar to within 0.076 (3) Å. The dihedral angle between the planes of the ring systems is 40.38 (4)°. The contribution of inter­molecular π–π inter­actions to the mol­ecular stacking is observed.

Preparation Of Some Substituted Terephthalic Acids, Susanna Branion, Vladimir Benin Jan 2006

Preparation Of Some Substituted Terephthalic Acids, Susanna Branion, Vladimir Benin

Chemistry Faculty Publications

We report in detail the preparation of two substituted terephthalic acids: 2‐sulfomethylterephthalic acid (1) and 2‐phosphonoterephthalic acid (2). Efficient, short syntheses have been developed for both compounds. They are potentially useful monomers for construction of acid‐pendant polymer chains.


Preparation, Characterization And Dft Studies Of Some New N-Nitrosocarbamates And N-Nitrosoureas, Ragavan Narayanan, Helene Hedian, Eric Shamo, Vladimir Benin Jan 2006

Preparation, Characterization And Dft Studies Of Some New N-Nitrosocarbamates And N-Nitrosoureas, Ragavan Narayanan, Helene Hedian, Eric Shamo, Vladimir Benin

Chemistry Faculty Publications

We are presenting the preparation, characterization and density functional theory (DFT) studies {B3LYP/6-31+G(d)) of several reiated classes of N-nitrosocarbamates and N-nitrosoureas. The iong-range goal is the design and preparation of compounds, which would undergo photochemical or hydrolytic decomposition, to yield stabilized cyclic cations that can serve as alkylating agents at various nucleophilic centers, including DNA bases.


Ecoscale, A Semi-Quantitative Tool To Select An Organic Preparation Based On Economical And Ecological Parameters, Koen Van Aken, Lucjan Strekowski, Luc Patiny Jan 2006

Ecoscale, A Semi-Quantitative Tool To Select An Organic Preparation Based On Economical And Ecological Parameters, Koen Van Aken, Lucjan Strekowski, Luc Patiny

Chemistry Faculty Publications

A novel post-synthesis analysis tool is presented which evaluates quality of the organic preparation based on yield, cost, safety, conditions and ease of workup/purification. The proposed approach is based on assigning a range of penalty points to these parameters. This semi-quantitative analysis can easily be modified by other synthetic chemists who may feel that some parameters should be assigned different relative penalty points. It is a powerful tool to compare several preparations of the same product based on safety, economical and ecological features.
