    DIRECT CARBONYIATION OF AROMATIC SEMICARBAZONES AND AZINES by STEWART MILLIARD B.Sc, University of British Columbia, I960 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Chemistry We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June, 1963 To be presented before the XIX International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry at London, England, July, 1963 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for'.reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives,. It is understood that copying, or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia,: Vancouver 8, Canada. // Date JOfstl i ABSTRACT Benzophenone semicarbazone reacted with carbon monoxide at about 300 atmospheres and at 235-2U50 in the presence of preformed dicobalt octacarbonyl as catalyst to yield 3-phenylphthalimidine (XXXVII), 3- phenyl-2-(N-benzhydrylcarboxamido)phthalimidine (XXXI?), N,W- dibenzhydrylurea (XXXV), and W-benzhydrylurea (XXXVI). At 200-220° benzophenone semicarbazone gave N-benzhydrylurea (XXXVI),, benzophenone azine (XXXVIIl), and benzophenone ij.-benzhydrylsemicarbazone (XXXJX). When the reaction temperature was further reduced to 175-180°, benzophenone semicarbazone did not produce the carbonylation product obtained in the second experiment but only the degradation and reduction products, XXXVIIl and XXXIX respectively.

  • HEXAPHENYLBENZENE [Benzene, Hexaphenyl-]
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

  • “Janus” Liquid Crystals Based on Diphenylacetylene
    “Janus” Liquid Crystals Based on Diphenylacetylene Tiantian Ma Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Chemistry December 2013 Abstract Supermolecular architecture has the ability to control the fine property and location of specific functional groups which allows them to be applied in various advanced fields. One of the most intriguing aspects is the self-organisation of complex giant molecular systems, especially for the materials with diversely functionalised faces or sides, which can recognise from one side to another, also known as “Janus” materials. In this project, dendritic supermolecules with more than one type of LC at the periphery (Janus liquid crystals) were developed. These LC molecules have a rigid diphenylacetylene core to which the dendritic linking scaffolds for the periphery groups can be attached. With different LC phase inducing ability, both the end-on and side-on mesogenic units have been used to build the amphiphilic system. The polyphilic materials containing different types of aliphatic chains as end-groups, which can enhance microphase segregation in this family. Two types (1:3 and 3:3) of Janus liquid crystals with different ratios of peripheral moieties were synthesized, along with their liquid crystal properties being studied. The mesomorphic behaviour of the Janus LCs is determined by the type of the mesogenic units, the microphase segregation effect controlled by the aliphatic chains, and also the steric effect relevant to the central core and dendritic scaffold. The synergy and competition among these factors generated mesophase behaviours which are unique to this type of supermolecular LC system. A series of side-on functionalized monomeric mesogens, LC dimers and trimers, and LC multipedes which is the intermediate in the synthesis of Janus LCs, were all developed as contrasts to the Janus LCs, for the systematical study in the mesomorphic behavior.
