Krager, and Malika Jeffries-EL*, † Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50010, United States ‡ Department of Chemistry, University of North Georgia, Dahlonega, Georgia 30597, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Six different 2,6-diethyl-4,8-diarylbenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bis(oxazoles) and four different 2,4,6,8-tetraarylbenzobisoxazoles were synthesized in two steps: a Lewis acid catalyzed orthoester cyclization followed by a Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling with various arenes. The influence of aryl group substitution and/or conjugation axis variation on the optical and electronic properties of these benzobis(oxazole) (BBO) compounds was evaluated. Structural modifications could be used to alter the HOMO, LUMO, and band gap over a range of 1.0, 0.5, and 0.5 eV, respectively. However, depending on the location and identity of the substituent, the HOMO level can be altered without significantly impacting the LUMO level. This is supported by the calculated frontier molecular orbitals. Our results indicate that the FMOs and band gaps of benzobisoxazoles can be readily modified either jointly or individually. ■ INTRODUCTION Among the aforementioned examples, the benzo[1,2-d:4,5- d′]bis(oxazole) (BBO)-based cruciforms are particularly During the past four decades, interest in the development of π- interesting, since these molecules have two different con- conjugated materials has increased due to their potential use as jugation pathways: 2,6-conjugation through the oxazole rings replacements for inorganic materials in a variety of semi- and 4,8-conjugation through the central benzene ring (Scheme conducting applications including field effect transistors − − 1).

First, we evaluated the influence of different aryl groups at the 4- and 8-positions of the BBO moiety using a range of spectroscopic techniques along with computational modeling to gain further insight about the FMO shape and electron distribution. Then, we assessed the impact of conjugation pathway by comparing a pair of 2,6-diarylBBOs to the analogous 4,8-diarylBBOs.

In a search for an alternative approach, we found that aryl orthoesters have been prepared from trithio orthoester intermediates.39,40 Since the corresponding aldehyde was more readily available, we decided to approach the synthesis of the trithio orthoester intermediate starting from 2-(4- bromophenyl)-1,3-dithiane. This decision proved beneficial, as the dithiane protecting group allowed for the addition of a solubilizing alkyl chain via a Kumada cross-coupling reaction, and the targeted orthoester was obtained in 84% yield.

  • 1 Pesticide Analysis by Mass Spectrometry Purpose
    Pesticide Analysis by Mass Spectrometry Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to introduce concepts of mass spectrometry (MS) as they pertain to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of organochlorine pesticides found in water samples. Learning Outcomes At the end of this assignment, students will be able to: 1. Explain the processes involved in the ionization of compounds in GC­MS. 2. Predict isotopic distributions and identify chlorinated compounds by their MS isotopic signature and fragmentation patterns. 3. Identify and use unique ions for MS quantitation in complex samples. 4. Using a sampling scheme for Lake Nakuru, determine the concentrations of DDT from GC­MS results and draw some conclusions as to whether the levels of DDT detected in Lake Nakuru water play a role in flamingos’ death. In the previous modules you have been introduced to the problem of flamingo die off events in Lake Nakuru, and the analytical chemistry considerations needed to address this problem including sampling, sample preparation, and gas chromatography. In addition to this discussion of MS analysis, the following module on validation of the analytical method addresses issues related to ensuring that the results obtained are of sufficient quality that they can be used to draw appropriate scientific conclusions. In this section, aspects of ionization and mass analysis are explored and example GC­MS results are presented. Introduction This section is designed to provide an introduction to mass spectrometry (MS) in the context of its utilization as a gas chromatography detector. The basic concepts of ionization, mass analysis, isotope ratios, and mass spectral interpretation are introduced.

  • Chapter 21 Organic Chemistry
    CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Hydrocarbons 1. A hydrocarbon is a compound composed of only carbon and hydrogen. A saturated hydro- carbon has only carbon-carbon single bonds in the molecule. An unsaturated hydrocarbon has one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds but may also contain carbon-carbon single bonds. A normal hydrocarbon has one chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. A branched hydrocarbon has at least one carbon atom not bonded to the end carbon of a chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. Instead, at least one carbon atom forms a bond to an inner carbon atom in the chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. 2. To determine the number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons in cyclic alkanes (or any alkane where they may have been omitted), just remember that each carbon has four bonds. In cycloalkanes, only the C−C bonds are shown. It is assumed you know that the remaining bonds on each carbon are C−H bonds. The number of C−H bonds is that number required to give the carbon four total bonds. 3. In order to form, cyclopropane and cyclobutane are forced to form bond angles much smaller than the preferred 109.5° bond angles. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane easily react in order to obtain the preferred 109.5° bond angles. 4. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special class of unsaturated hydrocarbons based on the benzene ring. Benzene has the formula C6H6. It is a planar molecule (all atoms are in the same plane). Each carbon in benzene is attached to three other atoms; it exhibits trigonal planar geometry with 120° bond angles.

Despite its considerable power, state-of-the-art protein MS frequently suffers from limited reliability of spectrum-to-structure assignments. This could not be solved fully by the dramatic increase in mass accuracy and resolution of modern MS instrumentation or by the introduction of new fragmentation methods. Here we present a new kind of two-dimensional mass spectrometry for high fidelity determination of a biomolecular primary structure based on partial covariance mapping. Partial covariance two-dimensional mass spectrometry (pC-2DMS) detects intrinsic statistical correlations between biomolecular fragments originating from the same or consecutive decomposition events. This enables identification of pairs of ions produced along the same fragmentation pathway of a biomolecule across its entire fragment mass spectrum. We demonstrate that the fragment-fragment correlations revealed by pC-2DMS provide much more specific information on the amino acid sequence and its covalent modifications than the individual fragment mass-to-charge ratios on which standard one-dimensional MS is based.

  • Identify Organic Functional Groups, Bond Types And
    Objective 1: Identify organic functional groups, bond types and IR, draw skeletal structures, and distinguish between the same compound, isomers, different compounds, and resonance structures. Quiz Practice problems: Key ideas: Most substances are organic compounds. Biomolecules are organic compounds. Organic compounds contain C, H, O, N, S, P, X Organic compounds are classified by functional groups – a small group of 2 to 5 atoms within an organic compound that has specific properties. Organic compounds are represented by Lewis structures. General bonding rules: C = 4 bonds + 0 lone pairs, N = 3 bonds + 1 lone pairs, O = 2 bonds + 2 lone pairs, X = 1 bonds + 3 lone pairs, H = 1 bonds + 0 lone pairs. In a Lewis structure, a covalent bond shows electrons shared between 2 atoms only --> localized electrons. But electrons can be shared between 3 or more atoms – delocalized electrons. Need to show resonance structures to represent delocalized electrons. Experiments show electrons are delocalized – see infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Organic compounds can be large – use skeletal structure as a shortcut for a Lewis structure. Organic compounds can be large – there are different ways to connect (bond) atoms in a compound. Two compounds that have the same chemical formula but different connectivity (bonding) are called isomers. When a substance is exposed to infrared (IR) radiation, bonds between atoms vibrate (stretch or bend). IR spectroscopy is used to determine bond types, e.g., C-H, O-H, in a compound. IR spectroscopy is used to help determine structure of a molecule. Skills: Given Lewis structure, draw skeletal structure and vice versa. Draw isomers of a compound.
