Phase Transition Of Chemically Synthesized Fept Nanoparticles Under High Pressure, Telem Şi̇mşek, Özgür Karci, Şadan Özcan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

We present the results of a study related to phase transformation of chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles under high pressure from face-centered cubic into face-centered tetragonal structure. As-synthesized nanoparticles are around 4.5 nm and show superparamagnetic behavior at 300 K. After annealing under 60 bar pressure of hydrogen at 400 $^{\circ}$C for 2 h, nanoparticles exhibit strong ferromagnetic behavior with 5391 Oe coercivity. Results show that high-pressure annealing lowers the decomposition temperature of the surfactants surrounding nanoparticles and partially hinders agglomeration arising from heat treatment. The promising ferromagnetic properties of the FePt nanoparticles after annealing under high pressure make them suitable …

Synthetic Strategies Towards The Carbenoid Reactions Of $\Alpha ,\Beta $-Acetylenic Carbonyls, Füsun Şeyma Kişkan, Emre Özgüz, Olcay Anaç, Nurdan Tarakçi, Gökçe Merey

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Catalytic reactions of $\alpha ,\beta $-conjugated carbonyl compounds have been a practical tool towards the synthesis of different useful heterocyclic compounds. Despite the numerous reactions with carbon-carbon double bond conjugated carbonyls, reactions of acetylenic carbonyls are limited. In this study, efficient dioxole synthesis was carried out via acetylenic aldehydes and butadiene formation was preferred over cyclopropene formation via acetylenic esters as different functional groups on these substrates change the product distribution. Both reaction conditions (such as solvent and temperature) and electrophilic structure of metal carbenoids alter the product distribution; acceptor (A), donor-acceptor (DA), and acceptor-acceptor (AA) functionalized diazo compounds yield …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Firefly luciferin is widely applied as a biotechnological tool for visualizing various biological processes in vitro and in vivo. Chemically, 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole, as a key synthetic intermediate of firefly luciferin, is obtained from 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole by changing the methoxy with a hydroxy group. However, this approach is costly and not suited for large-scale synthesis. Here we report cost-effective and efficient syntheses of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole through the catalytic Sandmeyer-type cyanation reaction. Our approach employs diazonium tetrafluoroborate salt of 2-amino-6-hydroxybenzothiazole as a cyanation substrate. The cyanation reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions by using Cu(I)/Cu(II)/N,N,N\textquotesingle,N\textquotesingle-tetramethylethylenediamine as a catalyst. In addition, computational studies of the 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, we performed the pharmacophore modeling and 4D-QSAR research of alkynylphenoxyacetic acid analogues as CRTh2 receptor opponent agents by utilizing the electron conformational genetic algorithm method. Quantum chemical calculations and conformational analyses of the compounds were carried out at HF/6-31G* level. Then electron conformational matrices of congruity were prepared for each conformer of each compound, which are represented by electronic and structural properties. As a result of the comparison of the matrices that are called electron conformational submatrices of activity, the pharmacophoric group of the compounds responsible for the activity was found at the determined tolerance intervals. The …


An Efficient Water-Mediated Synthetic Route For The Alkylation Of Heteroarenes, Pinar Seyi̇tdanlioğlu, Essam Hamied Ahmed Hanashalhalshahaby, Canan Ünaleroğlu Jan 2018

An Efficient Water-Mediated Synthetic Route For The Alkylation Of Heteroarenes, Pinar Seyi̇tdanlioğlu, Essam Hamied Ahmed Hanashalhalshahaby, Canan Ünaleroğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

An efficient synthetic route has been described for the alkylation of 1$H$-indole, 1$H$-benzimidazole, and 1$H$-benzotriazole. This approach features the alkylation of heteroaromatics through in situ generated enones from ketonic Mannich bases under metal-free conditions. A series of alkylated heteroaromatics have been synthesized via the K10 catalyzed alkylation reactions of these heteroaromatics with a variety of ketonic Mannich bases. Environmentally benign K10 catalyst, water-mediated mild reaction conditions, and the efficient synthesis of alkylated products are the advantages of this alkylation method.
