Donating Substituents (donating + substituent)
Selected AbstractsFluorescence and photoisomerization studies of p -nitrophenyl-substituted ethenylindolesJOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2006Anil K. Singh Abstract The synthesis, electronic absorption, fluorescence (,f, ,ex, ,f, ,f) and photoisomerization (,t,c, photostationary state composition) properties of 3-(4-nitrophenylethenyl- E)-NH-indole (1), 3-(4-nitrophenylethenyl- E)- N -ethylindole (2) and 3-(4-nitrophenyl ethenyl- E)- N -benzenesulfonylindole (3) in organic solvents of varying polarity are reported. The absorption maximum of these compounds undergoes a moderate red shift with increasing solvent polarity. However, the fluorescence maximum becomes highly red shifted with increasing solvent polarity. Whereas 1 and 2 show broad fluorescence bands, 3 exhibits dual fluorescence. Further, 1 and 2 fluoresce much more efficiently than 3. Correlation of the Stokes shift with solvent polarity parameters such as ,f and ET(30) and excited-state dipole moment indicate a highly polar excited state for 1,3. Time-resolved fluorescence studies show that the fluorescence decays are single- and multi-exponential type, depending on the solvent polarity. Further, 1 and 2 do not show photoisomerization on irradiation. However, 3 is photoactive and shows efficient photoisomerization in non-polar heptane. The sensitivity (,) of the photoreaction is determined in various solvent in terms of the Hammett plot, which showed that the excited states involved are electron deficient in nature and consequently stabilized more by an electron sufficient polar solvent and electron donating substituent. These results led us to suggest the existence of three types of excited states, namely the locally excited state, the intramolecular charge-transfer excited state and the conformationally relaxed intramolecular charge-transfer excited state in the photoprocesses of these compounds.

The reactions with aryl thiols that have electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents are comparable and afford C,S cross-coupling products in high yield. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Bonde Abstract The re-emergence of tuberculosis (TB) as a global health problem over the past few decades, accompanied by the rise of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, emphasizes the need for the discovery of new therapeutic drugs against this disease. The emerging serious problem both in terms of TB control and clinical management prompted us to synthesize a novel series of N -[2-(substituted aryl)-3-chloro-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-2-(pyrazin-2-yloxy)acetamide, 6-(substituted aryl)-3-[(pyrazin-2-yloxy)methyl][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4- b][1,3,4]thiadiazole, and N -[6-({2-[(pyrazin-2-yloxy)acetyl] hydrazino}sulfonyl)-2-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinazolin-3(2H)yl]-substituted aryl sulfonamides. The compounds were synthesized using the appropriate synthetic route. All synthesized compounds were assayed in vitro for antimycobacterial activity against the H37 Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for the test compounds as well as for the reference standards. The compound which exhibited good antimycobacterial activity contains the substituents fluorine and methoxy. These electron-withdrawing or -donating substituents amend the lipophilicity of the test compounds which, in turn, alter the permeability across the bacterial cell membrane. Compounds 28, 37, and 43 showed good antimycobacterial activity while compound 51 showed a promising antimycobacterial activity. [source] Studies on the Autoxidation of Aryl AlkenesCHEMICAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY (CET), Issue 10 2006W. Ya. Abstract Autoxidation activity of substituted styrenes (aryl alkenes) and their product formation were studied in the temperature range of 65,125,°C using cumene or chlorobenzene as solvent. It was observed that higher reaction temperatures, inert solvent, electron donating substituents, and bulky sterical groups at ,-, ortho- and para- positions promoted radical formation of epoxides and led to C=C oxidative cleavage. In contrast, electron accepting substituents and using cumene as the solvent favored the formation of oligomeric peroxides. The relative activity of all investigated styrenes could be correlated to the linear free energy (LFE) relation and the ionization potential. For ,-substituted styrenes and ring substituted ,-methylstyrenes LFE correlation for the reactivity of aryl alkenes and formation of epoxides was found to depend on the polar and steric factors. A general pathway for product formation by autoxidation of aryl alkenes has been proposed. [source] | ||||||||||
