Dynamic ^1h-Nmr Demonstration Of Anomeric Effect And Structure: Conformational And Configurational Analysis Of N-2-(1,4-Dioxane)-N'-(P-Methylbenzenesulfonyl)- O-(P-Methylphenoxy) İsourea, Ali Reza Modarresi-Alam, Hossein A. Dabbagh

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The conformational and configurational behavior and the structure of N-2-(1,4-dioxane)-N'-(p-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-O- (p-methylphenoxy) isourea (1) were studied using dynamic NMR. The endo-anomeric effect, hydrogen bonding, temperature, and polarity of solvent control the population of dioxane ring conformers or anomers but not the configuration interconversion of the imine of the imidoyl moiety. Dynamic ^1H-NMR, \Delta H°, \Delta S°, \Delta G°, and \Delta G^{\ddag} analysis of 1 demonstrates that the dioxane ring adopts the chair conformation, that the imidoyl amino group prefers axial conformation, and that the tosyl and tolyl groups about the C=N bond retain the E configuration.

Study Of The Polymerization Of Methyl Methacrylate Initiated By Thioxanthone Derivatives: A Magnetic Field Effect, Sevnur Keski̇n, Meral Aydin, Igor Khudyakov, Nergi̇z Arsu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Free radical photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by 2-mercaptothioxanthone (TX-SH), thioxanthone-thioacetic acid (TXSCH_2COOH), and thioxanthone-carboxymethoxy acetic acid (TXOCH_2COOH) as so called one-component initiators was performed with and without an external magnetic field (MF). These initiators contain light-absorbing and electron/hydrogen-donating fragments in one molecule and do not require an additional hydrogen donor, and initiate the polymerization of MMA in the air. Polymerization experiments were performed in solutions with 3 different optical densities at \lambda 365 nm, where the photoinitiator absorbs. It was observed that application of MF leads to both larger conversion and higher molecular weight of the prepared PMMA, …


Water-Gas Shift Reaction Over Bimetallic Pt-Ni/Al_2o_3 Catalysts, Burcu Selen Çağlayan, Ahmet Erhan Aksoylu Jan 2009

Water-Gas Shift Reaction Over Bimetallic Pt-Ni/Al_2o_3 Catalysts, Burcu Selen Çağlayan, Ahmet Erhan Aksoylu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The water-gas shift (WGS) activity of bimetallic Pt-Ni/Al_2O_3 catalysts was investigated in the temperature range 200-450 °C using an idealized feed composition consisting of 3% CO and 6%-10% H_2O. The effects of the Ni content, space velocity, and H_2O/CO ratio on the catalytic performance of the catalysts were studied. An increase in the Ni content and H_2O/CO ratio shifted the carbon monoxide conversion--temperature curve toward lower reaction temperatures. No detectable methane formation was observed in the catalytic reaction tests. The results indicate that Pt-Ni/Al_2O_3 catalysts are highly selective and active for water-gas shift reactions under idealized conditions.

4-[Arylidene-amino]-3-thiophen-2-ylmethyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazole-5-one compounds (3a-g) with Schiff base character were obtained from the reaction of 4-amino-3-thiophen-2-ylmethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-5-one (2) with various aldehydes. 1-(2-Oxo-2-phenyl-ethyl)-4-[arylidene-amino]-3-thiophen-2-ylmethyl-4,5- dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-5-ones (4a-g) were synthesized from the reaction of corresponding compounds 3a-g with bromoacetophenone. 1-(2-Hydroxy-2-phenyl-ethyl)- 3-thiophen-2-ylmethyl-4-[aryl-amino]4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-5-ones (5a-g) and 1-(2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-ethyl)-3-thiophen-2-ylmethyl-4-[arylidene-amino] 4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-5-ones (6b,d,e) were obtained from the selective reduction of 1-(2-oxo-2-phenyl-ethyl)-4-[arylidene-amino]-3-thiophen-2ylmethyl- 4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4] triazole-5-ones (4) with NaBH_4. They were characterized by IR, H-NMR,^{13}C-NMR, and elemental analyses. Compounds 2, 3a, 3c, 3g, 4f, 5b, and 5g showed good antifungal activity against yeast-like fungi. Compounds selected by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, USA) were investigated for antitumor activity.
