  • Safe Handling of Sodium Azide (SAZ)
    Safe Handling of Sodium Azide (SAZ) 1,2 Sodium azide (SAZ, CAS# 26628-22-8) is a white crystalline solid [molecular formula of (NaN3)] used in organic synthesis and also as a well-known preservative at low concentrations in molecular biology reagents. Azide chemistry3,4 offers an effective means to synthesize a range of nitrogen-containing compounds with a wide variety of functional groups. But SAZ poses some significant risks. It is highly toxic and can react to form potentially explosive compounds. Azide reagents and intermediates react with some metals5, strong acids, and certain chlorinated solvents6 and this needs to be considered when using SAZ or when developing routes that involve azide-containing intermediates. Health Hazards & Physical Hazards of SAZ Hazard Statements Fatal if swallowed or in contact with skin. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Health Hazards: SAZ is highly toxic when ingested orally or absorbed through the skin. Azides form strong complexes with hemoglobin, and consequently block oxygen transport in the blood. They are more harmful to the heart and the brain than to other organs, because the heart and the brain use a lot of oxygen. Symptoms of exposure include headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, rapid breathing and heart rate, and skin burns and blisters (direct skin contact) and in the case of serious overexposure, convulsions and death. It will also react with acids to form hydrazoic acid (HN3). Unlike sodium azide, which is a crystalline solid, hydrazoic acid is a low-boiling, volatile, liquid. Hydrazoic acid is also highly toxic and its volatility makes it more readily inhaled causing lung irritation and potentially bronchitis and lung edema.

  • Aziridination of Alkenes Promoted by Iron Or Ruthenium Complexes
    Aziridination of Alkenes Promoted by Iron or Ruthenium Complexes Caterina Damiano, Daniela Intrieri and Emma Gallo* Department of Chemistry, University of Milan, Via C. Golgi 19, 20133 Milan (Italy). E-mail address: [email protected]. Keywords: Aziridines, Nitrene reagents, Alkenes, Homogenous catalysis, Iron, Ruthenium. Abstract Molecules containing an aziridine functional group are a versatile class of organic synthons due to the presence of a strained three member, which can be easily involved in ring-opening reactions and the aziridine functionality often show interesting pharmaceutical and/or biological behaviours. For these reasons, the scientific community is constantly interested in developing efficient procedures to introduce an aziridine moiety into organic skeletons and the one-pot reaction of an alkene double bond with a nitrene [NR] source is a powerful synthetic strategy. Herein we describe the catalytic activity of iron or ruthenium complexes in promoting the reaction stated above by stressing the potential and limits of each synthetic protocol. 1. Introduction Aziridines, the smallest N-heterocycle compounds, have attracted considerable attention in the last few decades due to their many applications in biological and synthetic chemistry [1]. The aziridine functionality is often responsible for the activity of biologically active species (such as antitumor compounds, antibiotics and enzyme inhibitors) and aziridine containing molecules [2] are also useful building blocks in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals [3-6]. The striking chemical properties of aziridines are due to the energy associated to the strained three- membered ring [7], which renders them very active and versatile starting materials for the synthesis of several useful molecules such as amines, amino acids, β-lactams, polymers and α-amido ketones [8, 9].

    The Life and Achievements of Robert Burns Woodward Long Literature Seminar July 13, 2009 Erika A. Crane “The structure known, but not yet accessible by synthesis, is to the chemist what the unclimbed mountain, the uncharted sea, the untilled field, the unreached planet, are to other men. The achievement of the objective in itself cannot but thrill all chemists, who even before they know the details of the journey can apprehend from their own experience the joys and elations, the disappointments and false hopes, the obstacles overcome, the frustrations subdued, which they experienced who traversed a road to the goal.

  • The Nature of O2 Activation by the Ethylene-Forming Enzyme 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid Oxidase

  • Update of the Generic Definition for Tryptamines
    ACMD Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Chair: Professor Les Iversen Secretary: Zahi Sulaiman 2nd Floor (NW), Seacole Building 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF Tel: 020 7035 1121 [email protected] Norman Baker MP, Minister for Crime Prevention Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 10 June 2014 Dear Minister, In December 2013, you commissioned the ACMD to begin a regular review of generic definitions under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, with the aim of capturing emerging new psychoactive substances. These drugs are variants of controlled drugs and fall outside the existing scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The ACMD has considered evidence available on tryptamines in the context of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and I enclose the Advisory Council’s advice and an expanded definition for tryptamine compounds with this letter. The ACMD’s NPS Committee has firstly reviewed previous research and existing controls to identify those tryptamines now seen to evade the existing controls. The ACMD has also reviewed data provided by the Home Office’s early warning systems and networks, clinical toxicology, prevalence and neuropharmacology in arriving at the expanded generic definition. This expanded generic definition will bring drugs such as alpha-methyltryptamine (AMT) as well as 5-MeO-DALT within the scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. These are highly potent hallucinogens which act on the 5HT2A receptor, in the same way as LSD. The ACMD therefore recommends that the tryptamines covered by the proposed expanded generic definition in this report, are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) as Class A substances.

    Organic Reaction Guide Beauchamp 1 Chem 316 / Beauchamp Reactions Review Sheet Name SN2 Reactions - special features: biomolecular kinetics Rate = kSN2[RX][Nu ], single step concerted reaction, E2 is a competing reaction o o o o relative order of reactivity: CH3X > 1 RX > 2 RX >> 3 RX (based on steric hinderance, no SN2 at 3 RX) allylic & benzylic RX are very reactive, adjacent pi bonds help stabilize transition state and lower TS energy (Ea) o complete substitution at Cα (3 RX) or Cβ (neopentyl pattern) almost completely inhibits SN2 reactions vinyl & phenyl are very unreactive, bonds are stronger and poor backside approach leaving group ability: OTs = I > Br > Cl in neutral or basic conditions (just like E2, SN1 adn E1), and neutral molecule leaving groups are good from protonated, cationic intermediates in acid conditions, + + + + -OH2 , -ORH , -OR2 , -NR3 , etc. we will consider all anions, ammonia, amines, thiols and sulfides to be strong nucleophiles (favors SN2 and E2 reactions) in our course some electron pair donors are mainly nucleophiles (sulfur, azide, cyanide, carboxylates) and - + + - + - some are mainly bases (t-BuO K , Na H2N , Na H ) polar, aprotic solvents work best for SN2 reactions because nucleophiles are relatively unencombered for electron doantion (dimethyl sulofoxide = DMSO, dimethylformamide = DMF, acetonitrile = AN, acetone, etc.) in our course some electron pair donors are mainly nucleophiles (sulfur, azide, cyanide, carboxylates) and we will consider neutral solvent molecules such as water, alcohols and acids to be weak nucleophiles (favors SN1 and E1) stereoselectivity: 100% inversion of configuration from backside atack regioselectivity: reacts at carbon with leaving group, completely unambiguous chemoselectivity: N/A The following list is designed to emphasize SN2 reactions.
