“…[20] The reaction mechanisms of the 32CA reactions of NOs with ethylene and acetylene derivatives, as well as the study of the regioselectivity in the formation of the two isoxazolines, have been widely analysed within the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Fulminic acid 2, the simplest NO, presents a high activation enthalpy toward ethylene 10, 13.3 kcalÁmol 21 , and toward acetylene 11, 13.7 kcalÁmol 21 .

The [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of three nitrile oxides (NOs) (R‐CNO; R = Ph, CO2Me, and Br) with methyl acrylate (MA) have been theoretically studied within the molecular electron density theory. Topological analysis of the electron localization function of these NOs permits to establish that they will participate in zw‐type 32CA reactions. Analysis of the conceptual DFT indices indicates that these zw‐type 32CA reactions will have a low polar character as a consequence of the relatively low electrophilic character of MA and the low nucleophilic character of NOs, in agreement with the global electron density transfer computed at the corresponding TSs. The activation enthalpies associated with these 32CA reactions range from 8.2 to 12.7 kcal·mol−1. The presence of the bromide atom provokes the larger acceleration. While the 32CA reaction involving the CO2Me substituted NO is highly ortho regioselective, the other two reactions are poorly ortho regioselective. A bonding evolution theory study of the more favorable ortho regiosiomeric channel associated with the 32CA reaction involving the Br substituted NO indicates that this reaction is associated to a nonconcerted two‐stage one‐step mechanism, in which the activation energy is mainly related to the initial rupture of the CN triple bond of the NO.

“…It was determined that the potentially attractive way for ipsapirone 5 synthesis using 8-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-5,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decan-5-ium bromide 6 is not achievable in the tested conditions. This phenomenon can be explained by the molecular electron density theory [21], which in recent years has been successfully used to explain the reactivity of components in numerous different types of bimolecular reactions [22][23][24]. The global nucleophilicity descriptors needed for this purpose (N) were obtained by calculating B3LYP/6-31G (d), using the equation proposed by Domingo [25]:…”

The currently applied synthetic methods of serotonin receptor ligands belonging to the group of long‐chain arylpiperazines, including ipsapirone, require the use of toxic solvents and comprise numerous synthetic steps. Moreover, the reaction yield does not exceed 60% in the majority of cases. These factors lead to an increased energy consumption and negatively impact the environment. This paper describes a more environmentally friendly method of ipsapirone synthesis that we decided to use. Ipsapirone was obtained in two different methods. The first method involved N‐alkylation of bromobutyl saccharin with 1‐(2‐pyrimidyl)piperazine dihydrochloride, while the second was a one‐pot method. Neither of these requires the use of toxic and expensive solvents. A shortened synthesis time, not exceeding 10 min due to the use of microwave radiation, is also another advantage of these methods. The yield of the final product, ipsapirone, was 85% and 67% in the first and the second method, respectively. We also attempted to obtain ipsapirone using saccharin and arylpiperazine salt (method III) as starting materials, but to no avail in the tested conditions. As described herein, the green chemistry method for ipsapirone synthesis is rapid, cost‐effective, and environment friendly.

The subject of key competencies in the labour market has been discussed in many publications and reports in recent years, presenting the point of view of researchers and employers on the issue. However, the perspective of future employees also seems to be worth discussing; hence this research covers university students currently entering the labour market. Ten competencies identified as key in the labour market are examined: problem-solving, creativity and innovation, analytical and critical thinking, active learning and teaching, interdisciplinarity, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, intercultural competencies, virtual cooperation, digital competency. The study aimed to determine the respondents’ opinions and beliefs about selected key competencies on the labour market, their willingness to develop them, and their declared level of these competencies. The survey was carried out using the quantitative method, using the CAWI technique, on a sample of 352 respondents – students of the University of Lodz. The results indicate that the students mostly share the view that the competencies indicated as being key will be expected by employers in the labour market in the next five years. Moreover, for most of the competencies being studied, they assess their current level to be high and see the need to develop them for professional purposes. Discrepancies are also indicated between the students’ self-assessment of their competencies and their employers’ assessment.
