This work reports the design, structural characterization and catalytic behavior of the first example of primary amide- functionalized coordination polymers (CPs), namely {[Cd2(2-bpbg)(fum)2(H2O)2]·8.5H2O}n (1) (where, 2-bpbg = N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4-diaminobutane-N,N’-diacetamide and fum = fumarate). CP 1 was synthesized from a one-pot self-assembly of starting materials in methanol under ambient conditions in excellent yield and purity, allowing an easy access to multi-gram quantities of it within few hours. As an example, CP 1 has been used as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the carbon-carbon bond forming Knoevenagel condensation reaction for the conversion of benzaldehyde to benzylidene malononitrile. CP 1 possesses both Lewis acidic and Bronsted basic character for the presence of unsaturated metal sites and primary amide groups, resp., making it a highly competent bifunctional catalyst for such type of reactions. Surprisingly, 100% conversion was observed using only 2 mol% catalyst within 1 h at 27° in methanol. However, 2 mol% and 3 mol% catalyst loadings but without a solvent gives 93% and 100% conversions, resp., in 1 h at 27°. CP 1 is far better than those reported in the literature so far. To prove the uniqueness and efficiency of the primary amide based ligand, a similar compound with a pyridyl-based ligand was also synthesized, {[Cd2(tpbn)(fum)2]·6H2O}n (2) (where, tpbn = N’,N’,N”,N”-tetrakis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)butane-1,4-diamine). Using CP 2 under the same catalyst loading and conditions (2 mol%, 27°, 1 h), only 28% conversion was observed Selective heterogeneous catalytic properties of 1 over 2 are due to the presence of the primary amide moieties and open metal sites. Moreover, CP 1 can easily be separated from the reaction mixture and reused for five consecutive cycles without significant loss of its activity. Both 1 and 2 were fully characterized by elemental anal., IR spectroscopy, TGA and single crystal and powder x-ray diffraction. These crystallize in the triclinic P1 space group, showing their isostructural nature and 3-connected, uninodal {63}-hcb net topol. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(Anthracen-9-ylmethylene)malononitrile (cas: 55490-87-4Related Products of 55490-87-4).

The reactivity of m- and p-amino derivatives of PhCH2CN in condensations with BzH and its p-NMe2 derivative decreases with decreasing acidity of the CH2CN group. The order of acidity produced by the following substituents in PhCH2CN, as determined by comparison of spectra in EtOH and EtONa, is: H ∼ p-Me3NI ∼ m-Me3NI ≫ p-NH2 > m-NH2 > p-Me2N ≫ m-Me2N. Changes in spectra with time in EtONa show that the ionization of the last four of these is slow. The m- and p-NH2 derivatives react with BzH and p-Me2NC6H4CHO to yield principally the azomethines, but the other compounds give high yields of α-cyanostilbenes after 40 hrs. in alc. EtONa.

Photoirradiation (λ > 300 nm) of TiO2 loaded with Pd nanoparticles (2%, ∼5 nm diameter) in water containing benzyl alc. and nitrobenzene at room temperature successfully produces the corresponding secondary amine (N-benzylaniline) with 96% yield. This is achieved via three consecutive catalytic reactions: (i) photocatalytic oxidation of alc. (aldehyde formation) and reduction of nitrobenzene (aniline formation); (ii) catalytic condensation of the formed aldehyde with aniline on the TiO2 surface (imine formation); and, (iii) photocatalytic hydrogenation of the formed imine (secondary amine formation).

There is an urgent need for new drugs to treat malaria, with broad therapeutic potential and novel modes of action, to widen the scope of treatment and to overcome emerging drug resistance. Here we describe the discovery of DDD107498, a compound with a potent and novel spectrum of antimalarial activity against multiple life-cycle stages of the Plasmodium parasite, with good pharmacokinetic properties and an acceptable safety profile. DDD107498 demonstrates potential to address a variety of clin. needs, including single-dose treatment, transmission blocking and chemoprotection. DDD107498 was developed from a screening program against blood-stage malaria parasites; its mol. target has been identified as translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2), which is responsible for the GTP-dependent translocation of the ribosome along mRNA, and is essential for protein synthesis.

Results of RHF(RHF) and d. function theory(DFT) calculations are reported for 2-dicyanovinyl anthracene(2-DCVA) and 9-dicyanovinyl anthracene(9-DCVA) at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//RHF/6-31G(d,p) level. The equilibrium geometries of 2-DCVA and 9-DCVA have been optimized and the harmonic vibrational frequencies have been calculated The calculating results show that the ground state of 9-DCVA is higher than that of 2-DCVA in total energy. Having revolved angles between anthracene and dicyanovinyl from -180.0° to 180.0°, their potential energy curves are obtained to find their equilibrium geometries, The results show that there are two different stable geometries in energy and a transition geometry for 2-DCVA while there are a stable geometry and two transition geometries for 9-DCVA, the structure of 2-DCVA is more planar than 9-DCVA. At PM3/CIS level, their electronic spectrum were calculated and the vertical excitation energies and corresponding oscillator strengths from the ground states to the excited states are obtained. These results are in good agreement with the results obtained from experiment In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(Anthracen-9-ylmethylene)malononitrile (cas: 55490-87-4Application of 55490-87-4).
