Thus, for example, azidonucleosides attract international interest in the treatment of AIDS.[6] Like hydrogen azide most other azides are also explosive substances that decompose with the release of nitrogen through the slightest input of external energy, for example pressure, impact, or heat. The heavy-metal azides are used, conjugation with the aromatic system.

Rearrangement of benzophenone oxime gave the desirable ◦ product with 45% yield at 90 C. When co-catalyst P2O5 was added, the yield could be improved to 91%.

Introduction Over the past years, amide derivatives have received much attention owing to their broad range of applications in many fields such as the pharmaceutical industry, chemical biology, the agrochemical industry, engineering plastics, and so on [1–6]. Various approaches have been developed for the synthesis of amide compounds including nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions with amines [7], Staudinger ligation [8], Schmidt reaction [9] and Beckmann rearrangement [10]. However, generations of large amounts of undesired by-products and corrosive phenomenon associated with common acid (H2SO4 and SOCl2) based on liquid phase protocols provide a challenging task for chemists to develop alternative methods [11,12].

  • Simple Molecules, Highly Efficient Amination 1
    1 1 Simple Molecules, Highly Effi cient Amination Shunsuke Chiba and Koichi Narasaka 1.1 Introduction In the last two decades, explosive progress has been made in synthetic methods for production of amino compounds, due to their rapidly increasing applications in pharmaceutical and material sciences. Development of amination reagents for the construction of new carbon – nitrogen bonds is one of the most important and basic processes for the synthesis of amino molecules, and this chapter introduces simple and useful amination reagents classifi ed by reaction type, such as electro- philic amination reagents, including transition metal – nitrene and nitrido complexes, radical- mediated amination reagents, and nucleophilic amination (Gabriel - type) reagents. 1.2 Hydroxylamine Derivatives Hydroxylamine derivatives are one of the most versatile and simple amination reagents, leading the variety of nitrogen - containing compounds. This section mainly focuses on recent advances in electrophilic amination of carbon nucleo- philes with various hydroxylamine derivatives. 1.2.1 O - Sulfonylhydroxylamine Tamura has reported the synthesis of O - mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH; 1 ; Figure 1.1 ) and related compounds and has examined their reactions with various nucleophiles in detail [1] . With regard to the formation of C − N bonds by the use of MSH, however, the applicable carbanions were quite limited – to stabilized enolates only – and the product yields of the resulting amines were quite low.

    Study on the formation and the decomposition of AgN3 and a hypothetical compound ReN3 by using density functional calculations. G. Soto. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Centro de Nanociencias y Nanotecnología Km 107 carretera Tijuana-Ensenada, Ensenada Baja California, México. Corresponding Author: G. Soto. CNyN-UNAM P.O. Box 439036, San Ysidro, CA 92143-9036, USA Tel: +52+646+1744602, Fax: +52+646+1744603 E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract We present a comparative study between ReN3 and AgN3 by using density functional theory. The ReN3 is a hypothetical compound proposed by us to interpret the Re to Re interplanar spacing of thin films grown by sputtering. Both, the AgN3 as the ReN3, are calculated as positive enthalpy compounds. The enthalpy might give a clue about the spontaneous decomposition of the solid form, but it cannot be interpreted as a restriction of its synthesizability. As from the calculated total-energy, we discuss the route for the formation of AgN3 starting from atomic species in aqueous solution. We propose that their synthesizability is conditioned by the energy of free nitrogen atoms, and the kinetics of reaction. We conclude that the intrinsic stability of a certain atomic arrangement depends only of the equilibrium of atomic forces, and not from the energy value associated with that structure. 1 1. Introduction Predicting new solids based solely on computer calculations is one of the main challenges of materials science. Achieving this would mean a giant step forward as it would save many hours of fruitless efforts. Although there has been significant progress[1], it is still early to sing praises.

EYSTER,* Department of Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan AND R. H. GILLETTE, Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan (Received February 5, 1940) The vibration spectra of hydrazoic acid, methyl azide, and methyl isocyanate have been investigated in the spectral region between 2 and 20~. Correlation of the spectra of these struc­ turally similar molecules has made possible the determination of all the fundamental fre­ quencies of hydrazoic acid and all but the methyl torsion frequency in the methyl compounds. From these fundamental frequencies and the known rotational constants, the usual thermo­ dynamic functions of hydrazoic acid have been calculated to the harmonic oscillator-rigid ro­ tator approximation. Equilibrium constants for some characteristic reactions have also been obtained. HE structures of hydrazoic acidl and of all but the methyl torsion oscillations in the T methyl azide2 have now been determined methyl compounds.

    1.3 Communicating Safety Information Samuella Sigmann Visit the full ACS Guide to Scholarly Communication 1.3.1 Introduction In 2011, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) issued its first investigation of a chemical accident at an academic research institution. The incident involved the sudden detonation of a nickel hydrazine perchlorate (NHP) derivative that resulted in severe and permanent injury to a fifth-year chemistry graduate student at Texas Tech University (TTU). Student researchers were involved in a multi-institutional research project to characterize new potentially energetic materials. They decided to scale up their synthesis by two orders of magnitude to provide enough sample so that all testing could be performed on one batch but neglected to assess safety ramifications. The final CSB report for the TTU incident found in both this case and prior incidents in the same research area that (1): . No formal hazard evaluation and risk assessment had been completed to char-acterize the potential danger of the research activity and to plan for the worst-case scenario. The student sought peer advice. No policy was in place at the laboratory, department, or university level to prompt a student to seek PI advice or evaluation of experimental activities. The investigation clearly indicates that the students did not have the information they needed to prepare themselves for the increased risk posed by their decision to scale up. The CSB primarily investigates and reports on large scale incidents in the chemical and related industries where hazard evaluation and risk assessment are well established to facilitate improved safety management across the industry.
