New Biobased Polyurethane Materials from Modified Vegetable Oil

Bio-based polyurethanes(PUs)have been occurred a large attention nowadays.It was found to be an alternative to the petrochemical based materials to the fact of their weak environmental influence,availability,good price and biodegradability.In addition,the nature shows several bio-derived compounds as raw materials for the synthesis of polyols,including the vegetable oils,polyphenol,terpene,and other bio-renewable sources.With the aim to develop a new family of biobased polyurethanes(PUs)via vegetable oils,the elaboration of new Jojoba-based PUs was performed by catalyst-free polycondensation reaction of a synthesized Jojoba diol with various diisocyanates such us toluene diisocyanate(TDI)and isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI).All the compounds were characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopies,and their properties were determined by gel permeation chromatography,differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.The obtained results show renewable vegetable oils-based PUs materials can be preparing using a new environmentally ways and giving various good properties performances.

The first report of new 3-(tetrazol-5-yl)-2-iminocoumarin derivatives is described. The title compounds were prepared in two steps and were obtained in good yields (55-93%). They have been fully characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, FTIR, UV-Visible and HRMS. They were tested for their antiproliferative activities against six representative human tumor cell lines (Huh 7-D12, Caco2, MDA-MB231, HCT 116, PC3 and NCI-H727) and HaCat keratinocytes. Among them, compound 5e was active on HCT 116 (IC50 15 μM).

Synthesis of New 2-Phenylamino-4<i>H</i>-chromene-3-carbonitrile Derivatives and Their Effects on Tumor Cell Lines and against Protein Kinases

The synthesis of 2-phenylimino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 6(a-d) in good overall yields using an efficient and practical methodology in 3 steps has been implemented in this present work. The first step was a heterocyclization between 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde 1 and propanedinitrile 2 which produced 2-iminocoumarin 3 which was submitted to nitrogen/nitrogen displacement in the presence of aromatic primary amine 4. In the third step, reduction of 5 led to the desired 2-phenylimino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 6. Compounds 5(a-d) and 6(a-d) were evaluated for their potential in vitro cytotoxicity against six selected tumor cell lines (Huh7-D12, Caco2, MDA-MB231, HCT 116, PC3 and NCI-H727) and tested for their protein kinase inhibition on eight selected protein kinases. Among them, compounds 5c and 6b exhibited inhibition on HsCK1e (5c: 44% and 6b: 42% at 1 μM) and 5c for cytotoxicity on PC3 cell lines (63% at 25 μM).

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Novel 2-Pyrazoline and Bis-2-Pyrazoline Containing Quinoline Moiety

Eight new compounds containing in their structures substituted quinoline and pyrazole entity were synthesized in good to excellent yield by cyclocondensation reaction of chalcones and hydrazine hydrate. This reaction was conducted in formic acid in presence of BF3&middot;Et2O or in acetic acid. These approaches were extended to bis-chalcones, which delivered functionalized bispyrazolines. The structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectral analysis.

Dehydrocyclization of n-Hexane over Heteropolyoxometalates Catalysts

The catalytic dehydrocyclization of n-hexane was studied here for the first time using a number of compounds based on H3PMo12O40. The described catalysts were prepared by either replacing the acidic proton with counter-ions such as ammonium or transition metal cations (NH4+, Fe3+, K+), or by replacing Mo6+ with (Ni3+, Co3+, Mn3+) in the polyoxometalate framework, as reported earlier. For comparison purposes, the known (TBA)7PW11O39 catalyst system was used. All reactions were conducted at different temperatures in the range 200 - 450. The Keggin structure of these heteropolycompounds was ascertained by XRD, UV and IR measurements. 31P NMR measurements and thermal behaviour of the prepared catalysts were also studied. These modified polyoxometalates exhibited heterogeneous superacidic catalytic activities in dehydrocyclization of n-hexane into benzene, cyclohexane, cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene. The catalysts obtained by substituting the acidic proton or coordination atom exhibited higher selectivity and stability than the parent compound H3PMo12O40. Catalytic activity and selectivity were heavily dependent on the composition of the catalyst and on the reaction conditions. At higher temperatures, the catalyst exhibited higher conversion efficiency at the expense of selectivity. Using higher temperatures (>400) in the presence of hydrogen carrier gas, selectivity towards dehydrocyclization ceased and methane dominated. To explain the results, a plausible mechanism is presented, based on super-acidic nature of the catalyst systems.

New Polysiloxane Surfaces Modified with Ortho-, Meta-, or Para-Nitrophenyl Moieties for Cadmium Removal from Water

This study aims to prepare and develop several vehicles chelation polydentate supported ligands and then installed it using sol-gel or polymerization or to be susceptible to imply conjunction with the highly toxic heavy metal ions in the water, and disrupted the underground water used for drinking or agriculture, including cadmium ions. As the process of interaction between ligands and heavy metals depends on the circumstances of surrounding conditions which are treated in this research. Metal ion uptake through complexation or hydrogels can be affected by hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance, the nature of chelate ligands and the extent of cross-linking of macromolecular supports. Ligand function also dictates reactivity, complexation ability and efficiency of polymer supported ligands in the present case expected to be good solution for such problem. This research involves the synthesis and characterization of new polysiloxane surfaces modified with ortho-, meta-, or para-nitrophenyl moieties. The resulting adsorbents have been characterized by SEM, IR, UV, 13C solid state NMR, BET surface area, B.J.H. pore sizes, TGA and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. These porous materials showed a very good thermal and chemical stability and hence they can be used as perfect adsorbents to uptake toxic heavy metal ions including Cd(II) from groundwater. The concentrations of each adsorbate in the filtrate were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed that all of the three resulting products had high adsorption efficiency. Also, it showed strong complexation properties with heavy metal ions.

盐酸溶液中钢铁腐蚀的绿色缓蚀剂柠檬油精(英文)

The inhibition of steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid solutions by limonene, which was extracted from citrus and orange fruit, was studied using measurements of mass loss, electrochemical polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Naturally, the substance reduced the rate of corrosion. The linearity of the cathodic curves for all concentrations indicated that the law of Tafel was followed. The effectiveness of inhibition increased with the increase in concentration of limonene and this exceeded 72% at 0.220 g·L-1. The inhibition efficiency is temperature independent in the temperature range of 298-328 K. Adsorption of the substance on the surface of steel obeys the Frumkin isotherm model.
