Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene——A Novel Efficient Process for the Synthesis of Brominated Aromatic Compound

The reaction of aromatic carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride gives rise to the corres- ponding acid chloride which without purification is treated with the sodium salt of mercapto- pyridine oxide in the presence of 2,2-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), radical initiator to give a brominated aromatic compound. After etherification and oxidation, 5-iodovaniline was converted to trisubstituted benzene carboxylic acid which give 1-bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodo- benzene by this new brominating process with a yield of 74 %.

Synthesis of 5-Substituted 2, 9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline Dialdehydes and Their Schiff Bases with Sulfur-Containing Amines

Eight new Schiff bases of 5-nitro and 5-bromo-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxaldehydes with sulfur-containing amines, thiosemicarbazide, S-alkyl/aryl dithiocarbazates and 2-mercaptoaniline have been synthesized and characterized by a variety of spectroscopic methods. The condensation reactions of the dialdehydes with the amines were carried out both in the presence and absence of conc. sulfuric acid. A significant increase in yield of the Schiff bases was observed when the reactions were carried out in the presence of sulfuric acid.

Antibacterial Activities of New Schiff Bases and Intermediate Silyl Compounds Synthesized from 5-Substituted-1,10-phenanthroline- 2,9-dialdehyde

Schiff bases are known to possess anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antimalarial properties. In this paper antibacterial studies against variety of plants and human pathogenic bacteria with eight newly synthesized Schiff bases and several intermediate silyl compounds have been reported. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized compounds were primarily determined by paper disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each compound was also determined by tube dilution process. Seven different human pathogenic bacteria and eighteen different plant pathogenic bacteria were used for the antibacterial activity studies. While all synthesized compounds have shown significant antibacterial activity, one intermediate silyl compound has shown remarkably high antibacterial property. 5-substituted derivatives have shown relatively higher activity than non-substituted compounds. Polar substituent which increases hydrophilicity may have a positive impact on the antibacterial property.

Non-isothermal Kinetics of the Thermal Decomposition of 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one Magnesium Complex

The thermal decomposition of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one magnesium complex and its kinetics were studied under the non-isothermal condition by DSC and TG/DTG methods. The kinetic parameters were obtained from analysis of the DSC and TG/DTG curves by the Kissinger method,the Ozawa method,the differential method and the integral method. The most probable mechanism functions for the thermal decomposition of the first stage,the second stage and the third stage were suggested by comparing the kinetic parameters. The entropy of activation (ΔS ≠),enthalpy of activation (ΔH ≠) and free energy of activation (ΔG ≠) at Tpdo are -66.74 J·mol -1 ·K -1 ,119.2 kJ·mol -1 and 152.44 kJ·mol -1 ,respectively.

Competition of Aromatic Bromination and Nitration in Concentrated Sulfuric Acid

Composition of bromine and nitric acid in concentrated sulfuric acid is effective for bromination of strongly deactivated aromatic compounds and for nitration and bromination of moderately deactivated compounds in one stage. The question why brominating agent is more reactive than nitrating agent in relation to strongly deactivated aromatic compounds and is less reactive in relation to moderate deactivated ones is discussed.

Designing energetic covalent organic frameworks for stabilizing high-energy compounds

As an emerging high-energy compound,3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one(NTO)is used in military explosives and rocket propellants.However,the strong acidic corrosion of NTO,and the high sensitivity and poor thermostability of its salts,severely restrict their practical applications.Therefore,a novel strategy to design and construct energetic covalent organic frameworks(COFs)is proposed in this study.We have successfully prepared a two-dimensional crystalline energetic COF(named ECOF-1)assembled from triaminoguanidine salt,in which NTO anions are trapped in the porous framework via the ionic interaction and hydrogen bonds.The results show that ECOF-1 exhibits superior thermal stability than energetic salt of NTO.It also exhibits insensitivity and excellent heat of detonation of 7,971.71 kJ·kg−1.ECOF-1 greatly inhibits the corrosiveness of NTO.In prospect,energetic COFs are promising as a functional platform to design high-energy and insensitive energetic materials.
