An efficient protocol for transforming alkyl 3‐nitro‐5‐(aryl/alkyl)isoxazole‐4‐carboxylates into 3‐amino‐ and 3‐hydrazinyl‐5‐aryl/alkyl‐isoxazole‐4‐carboxylates is described. The reaction that is carried out in aqueous acetonitrile solution generally afford the products without any chromatographic purification. Investigations with the substrate scope reveal that this protocol is compatible only when the ester group is present at the C‐4 position of the isoxazole ring.magnified image
A mild approach to diazenylation of active methylene compounds and N-heterocyclic compounds with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of iodine under basic aerobic conditions was developed. The reaction could be executed either under heating or in the presence of blue LED light, though the latter condition was found to be relatively efficient. Presumably, the aryldiazene produced by oxidation of arylhydrazine hydrochloride acts as a nitrogen scavenger of the radical intermediate generated from the active methylene compound in the presence of iodine to produce the diazo compounds. The scope and limitations of the protocol are presented.
Layered bulk crystals are amenable to exfoliation to yield 2D nanosheets through isolation and intercalation processes, which could be further converted to 1D nanoscale structures. The latter inherit gross morphological and physical properties associated with the precursor structures. Herein, we report three purine‐based crystal structures 1, 2, and 3, where 3 is obtained by a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transformation from 2 and is a conformational polymorph of 1. Next, we describe the sonication‐assisted liquid exfoliation of 1, a CdII–purine coordination framework, into nanosheets and nanofibers in a solvent‐dependent process. The exfoliation was carefully studied at low temperatures to ascertain this unique conversion. This work also features the determination of the Young's modulus and surface potential of the bioinspired CdII‐based nanostructures by using amplitude modulation–frequency modulation atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy, respectively, revealing their interesting elastic and capacitive properties for their possible use in electronics and energy devices. Electron impedance spectroscopy measurements further established a higher value of capacitance for the exfoliated CdII framework as compared to the ligand alone.

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.
