A novel approach to construct 2-aryl/heteroaryl quinazolines was developed through an iron-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-aminobenzyl alcohols with benzylamines under aerobic oxidative conditions. The reaction proceeds via the formation of N-benzylidenebenzylamines followed by oxidative trapping of ammonia/intramolecular cyclization in a one-pot manner. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope and a high tolerance level for sensitive functional groups, and is amenable to gram scale synthesis.
New
derivatives of 5,5′,5″-tris(tetrazolyl)amine
(H3tta) are designed by replacing N–H with N–NO2 and N–OH groups. Two H3tta derivatives
(B and F) were selected for the design of
1:1 (cation:anion) energetic salts. Their heats of formation (HOF)
and densities were predicted and combined to estimate the velocities
of detonation (VOD) and detonation pressures (DP). Impact sensitivity
of H3tta compounds containing nitramine functionality was
assessed using h
50, free space in a crystal
lattice, and heats of detonation (Q). The calculated
explosive power index about picric acid showed that most of the H3tta compounds and salts can be used as potential energetic
materials. Those compounds and salts were found to exhibit superior
detonation performance when compared with RDX and HMX. According to
our results, newly designed H3tta derivatives may be used
to develop high-performance energetic materials with lower sensitivity.
A novel route for synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes has been developed by the oxidative coupling of benzylamines and indoles in the presence of iron(II) triflate as a catalyst and molecular oxygen as an oxidant. This method promises versatility, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency.
Nitrogen-rich 5- and 6-membered compounds substituted with nitro and peracid groups were designed and investigated using density functional theory (DFT).
We compared the effectiveness of different molecular surface electrostatic potential (MESP)-based methods for calculating the density of CHNO explosives. Densities computed for 221 CHNO explosives of different chemical nature and functional groups and compared with the experimental values. The CHNO explosives in this work are divided into seven groups as group I nitrate-esters, group II nitramines, group III azides, group IV energetic materials containing benzene ring, group V energetic materials containing caged and strained rings, group VI energetic materials containing heterocyclic backbone, and group VII are the energetic materials containing fused ring. The computed densities using molecular volume method, Lee method, Kim method, Politzer method, and Rice method judged with experimental data indicates that Politzer and Rice method can be applied for the prediction of density. This study will be useful in selecting an MESP-based approach for the density estimation and directing research efforts towards the development of new CHNO explosives. Graphical Abstract The effectiveness of different molecular surface electrostatic potential (MESP)-based methods such as Lee method, Kim method, Politzer method, and Rice method for calculating the density of 221 CHNO explosives is assessed. The CHNO explosives are divided into seven groups as nitrate-esters, nitramines, azides, energetic materials containing- benzene ring, -caged and strained rings, -heterocyclic backbone, and -fused ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
