Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Microwave irradiation, comparable to conventional thermal heating, proves to be a convenient method in assisting the synthesis of some butenamides, pyrrolidine-2,5-diones, and their benzenesulfonamido derivatives, which are known to have biological activities and wide medical and industrial applications. Both procedures were used to compare their efficiency in synthesizing butenamides and pyrrolidine-2,5-diones (2-25), which have important and wide applications, from condensation of \alpha,\beta-unsaturated anhydride (1) with the corresponding amines. Some of the products showed biological or cytotoxic (antiproliferative) activity.

Power Of Inhibition Activity Screening And 3d Molecular Modeling Approaches In Hdac 8 Inhibitor Design, Gamze Bora Tatar, Tenzi̇le Deni̇z Tokluman, Kemal Yelekçi̇, Hayat Yurter

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In-vitro inhibition activity screening and in-silico 3D molecular modeling approaches are important tools for design and development of specific histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. The objective of this study was to investigate the consistency between these 2 approaches. The HDAC 8 inhibition activities of 8 randomly selected different carboxylic acid derivatives were screened and in-vitro experimental results were compared with in-silico molecular modeling calculations. This study demonstrated that there is no sole gold standard technique for inhibitor design, and it was concluded that a combination of molecular modeling and activity screening assays will ensure more comprehensive and dependable results.

Simultaneous Determination Of Trace Sn(Ii) And Sn(Iv) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application, Güler Somer, Ülkü Ünal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method was established for the simultaneous determination of Sn(II) and Sn(IV) using differential pulse polarography (DPP). Among several electrolytes, 0.1 M NaOH in the presence of 0.1 M KNO_3 was found to be the most suitable one. In this medium, Sn(II) had 2 peaks, at -0.74 and -1.17 V, which were sharp and very sensitive. Sn(IV), on the other hand, had a very small peak at -0.92 V when its concentration was higher than 4.0 \times 10^{-4} M. Thus, it was decided to determine Sn(IV) after reduction into Sn(II). In the presence of both Sn(II) and Sn(IV), Sn(II) …

Reaction Of Cycloheptatriene Derivatives With 1,3-Diketones In The Presence Of Mn(Oac)_3, Mahi̇r Burak Südemen, Mustafa Zengi̇n, Hayri̇ye Genç, Meti̇n Balci

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The reactions of some 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with cycloheptatriene derivatives in the presence of Mn(OAc)_3 were examined. Cycloheptatriene forms mainly [2+3] and [6+3] dihydrofuran addition products derived from cycloheptatriene. However, the reaction of acetylacetone with cycloheptatriene substituted with an electron withdrawing group exclusively gave products derived from the norcaradiene structure. The formation mechanism of the products as well as the role of the substituent attached to cycloheptatriene is discussed.

Enantioselective Complexation Of Chiral Lariat Crown Ethers And Chiral Primary Alkylammonium Perchlorates, Mehmet Zafer Köylü, Tarik Aral, Mehmet Karakaplan, Şafak Özhan Kocakaya, Hali̇l Hoşgören

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In order to investigate the enantiomeric recognition abilities toward 2 chiral alkylammonium perchlorates (AmI, AmII) by ^1H-NMR titration method in CDCl_3, 4 chiral lariat ethers 8-11 with a (p-methoxyphenoxy) methyl flexible side arm were used. The most effective enantiomeric recognition was obtained by LCEs 9 and 11 toward AmII, by K_R/K_S 6.58 and K_S/K_R 6.63, respectively. The effect of macroring size, subunit of macroring, and side arm appeared to have strong influence on the binding ability of these alkylammonium ions.


Controlled Growth Of Two-Dimensional Copper Nanoplates In Graphite Gallery, Xiaobei Bin, Jiazang Chen, Hong Cao Jan 2011

Controlled Growth Of Two-Dimensional Copper Nanoplates In Graphite Gallery, Xiaobei Bin, Jiazang Chen, Hong Cao

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Copper nanoplates embedded in a graphite gallery were obtained by in situ reduction of stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 CuCl_2-graphite intercalation compound precursors. The characterization results indicated that the morphology of the copper species was that of a 2-dimensional or quasi-2-dimensional nanoplate in the graphite gallery. Interaction between the metallic nanoplates and graphene sheet was also detected. The hexagonal graphene network restricted the crystallization orientation of the copper nanoparticles, and, at the same time, the finite space between the graphene sheets prevented the increase of the thickness. This method would provide a convenient route to synthesize or assemble …

Polarographic Determination Of Anticancer Drug Vitamin K_3 With Direct And Indirect Methods/Application To Serum And K_3 Injection Solution, Ümmi̇han Taşkoparan Yilmaz, Güler Somer

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this work, direct and indirect methods for determination of vitamin K_3 were developed using differential pulse polarography. The reaction between sulfite and the quinone (Q) form of vitamin K_3 was used for indirect determination, since the sulfite peak at -0.7 V is sharp and very reproducible in 0.1 M HAc NaAc (pH = 5.5). It was found that at pH 4.5-5.5, this reaction was quantitative and very fast when the temperature was 45 °C. For its direct determination, on the other hand, vitamin K_3 was standardized by the indirect method using standard sulfite as the reducing agent. The calibration …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A decavanadate/chitosan complex was synthesized by crosslinking chitosan with decavanadate anions at a pH of 3. The materials were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spectroscopic results indicated that the decavanadate/chitosan complex was successfully obtained as result of an ionic crosslinking of the chitosan with decavanadate anions.

Preparation, Morphology, And Thermomechanical Properties Of Coal Ash/Polyethylene Oxide Composites, Khalid Saeed, Muhmmad Ishaq, Muhmmad Ilyas Jan 2011

Preparation, Morphology, And Thermomechanical Properties Of Coal Ash/Polyethylene Oxide Composites, Khalid Saeed, Muhmmad Ishaq, Muhmmad Ilyas

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Coal ash/polyethylene oxide (ash/PEO) composite films were prepared by the solution casting technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs indicated that the ash particles were dispersed and embedded well within the polymer matrix. The size of the ash particles in the PEO matrix was less than 3 \mu m. The polarized optical microscopic (POM) analyses revealed that the pure PEO, upon crystallization, showed distinct crystalline spherulites of a considerable size. The size of the spherulites was decreased by the incorporation of ash particles into the polymer matrix, which might be due to the nucleation role of ash in ash/PEO composite, and …

New optically active poly(ester-imide)s (PEIs) containing bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic diimide in the main chain were prepared by the reaction of N,N'-(bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7- ene-2,3,5,6-tetra carboxylic)-bis-L-valine 4 as a diacid monomer with various aromatic diols 5a-g in a system of tosyl chloride (TsCl), pyridine (Py), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The reactions with TsCl were significantly promoted by controlling alcoholysis with diols, in the presence of catalytic amounts of DMF, to give a series of optically active poly(ester-imide)s. The resulting new polymers were obtained in good yields and inherent viscosities, ranging between 0.36 and 0.62 dL g^{-1}, and were characterized with FT-IR and ^1H-NMR spectroscopy, including specific …
