The reaction is catalyzed by strong acids, weak acids, organic acids and also by Lewis acids. The composition of terpolymers has been determined by elemental analysis and spectral studies such as UV, IR and NMR have been carried out to elucidate the structure of the terpolymers. The polymer exhibit high temperature resistance better thermal properties as evident from the TGA data. The polymer undergo degradation under inert atmosphere at increasing temperature provides good for nature. Spectroscopic data revels that long chain polymer hold together not only by C-C bond, but also the electrons are delocalized in conjugation showing coloured aniline- formaldehyde-α-naphthol terpolymers.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Symmetry 3. Chirality 4. Stereogenicity 5. Conformation and configuration 6. Configuration descriptors 7. Dependence of the properties of chiral molecules on the enantiomeric composition 8. How to obtain stereoisomerically pure compounds Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with the basic concepts necessary to deal with the stereochemical aspects of organic chemistry. As in any other interpretation of stereochemistry that aspires to be rational, also in this one a detailed knowledge of the symmetry properties of a molecule and of the relationship between symmetry properties and molecular behavior at all levels is considered of fundamental importance. Another central point is the strict distinction between chirality and stereogenicity that underlines all the discussion both as an inspiring principle and guidance to the use of a correct stereochemical language. In addition to classic topics such as isomer classification, stereochemicalUNESCO descriptors, and conseque nces– ofEOLSS enantiomeric composition, a short presentation of the principal methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds is included. 1. IntroductionSAMPLE CHAPTERS According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, stereochemistry is: "a branch of chemistry that deals with the spatial arrangement of atoms and groups in molecules". The Oxford Dictionary of English defines stereochemistry: "the branch of chemistry dealing with composition of matter as affected by relations of atoms in space".

  • Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1945
    L EOPOLD Multimembered rings, higher terpene compounds and male sex hormones Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1945 This lecture should have been delivered in December 1939*, but owing to a postponement of 6 years forced by the intervention of war, I have been able to use some results obtained in the meantime to round off the overall picture. Consequently I can now report on the results of 25 years of laboratory work in two fields of the chemistry of alicyclic compounds: multimembered rings and higher terpene compounds (polyterpenes), to which the third group named in the title, the male sex hormones, is closely related. Alicyclic compounds scarcely differ in their chemical properties from their aliphatic analogues. Many investigations, especially during the past twenty- five years, have shown, however, that in spite of this close chemical similarity aliphatic compounds and their alicyclic analogues can exhibit entirely different physiological properties. We see that certain well-defined physiological prop- erties may appear or disappear in the transition from an aliphatic to an alicyclic compound or vice versa. As a result of the accumulation of such observations, alicyclic compounds to which only scant biochemical importance was at- tached as little as 20-25 years ago, have now advanced to the forefront of interest. Multimembered rings After Kekulé, in 1865, first introduced the carbon ring into structural chem- istry in his formula for benzene, the 6-membered ring maintained its unique position in the taxonomy of organic chemistry for several decades. Indeed, a heterocyclic 5-membered ring containing nitrogen became known in 1870 as a result of Adolf von Baeyer’s work on indigo; but this did not imme- * Data available at that time formed the subject of a number of lectures which I de- livered between December 1939 and April 1940 in Zurich, Zagreb, Utrecht, Amster- dam, Delft, Liége, Brussels and Paris.

Most of the isatin derivatives were proved to be excellent in the inhibition of aldose reductase (ALR2) with IC50 values at submicromolar level, and (E)-2-(5-(4-methoxystyryl)-2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl) acetic acid (9g) was identified as the most effective with an IC50 value of 0.015 μM. Moreover, compounds 9a-h with styryl side chains at the C5 position of isatin showed potent antioxidant activity. Particularly, the phenolic compound 9h demonstrated similar antioxidant activity with the well-known antioxidant Trolox.

Radke Fall 2011 Nitroacetylenes Harnessed by Cobalt © 2011 by Gary Kenneth Windler, Jr. 1 Abstract Nitroacetylenes Harnessed by Cobalt by Gary Kenneth Windler, Jr. Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Chair The syntheses and characterization of nitroacetylenes have been studied with respect to their large-scale production, purification, and NMR spectra, respectively. The 13 C NMR spectrum of 1-nitro-2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyne ( 18 ) evidenced 13 C–14 N coupling between the alkynyl carbon and the attached nitrogen, in agreement with the previously reported spectrum of 1-nitroethyne ( 16 ). The multi-gram preparation of high purity 18 is described. A history of previous work with nitroacetylenes is reviewed. The stabilization of nitroacetylenes as hexacarbonyl dicobalt alkyne complexes was investigated. In conjunction with appropriate oxidizers, such complexes were shown to be long-term storage media for free nitroalkynes. The syntheses and complete characterization of the first two nitroalkyne transition metal complexes, [µ-1-nitro-2- (trimethylsilyl)ethyne-1,2-diyl]bis(tricarbonylcobalt)( Co –Co ) ( 25 ) and [µ-1-nitroethyne- 1,2-diyl]bis(tricarbonylcobalt)( Co –Co ) ( 26 ), are described.

    Organic chemistry-Some basic principles and techniques CHAPTER ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES 12 LEARNING OBJECTIVES (i) Understand reasons for tetravalence of carbon and shapes of organic molecules. In organic compounds can be described in terms of orbitals hybridisation concept, according to which carbon can have sp3, sp2 and sp hybridised orbitals. The sp3, sp2 and sp hybridised carbons are found in compounds like methane, ethene and ethyne respectively. The tetrahedral shape of methane, planar shape of ethene and linear shape of ethyne can be understood on the basis of this concept. (ii) Write structures of organic molecules in various ways. Organic compounds can be represented by various structural formulas. The three dimensional representation of organic compounds on paper can be drawn by wedge and dash formula. (iii) Classify the organic compounds. Organic compounds can be classified on the basis of their structure or the functional groups they contain. A functional group is an atom or group of atoms bonded together in a unique fashion and which determines the physical and chemical properties of the compounds. (iv) Name the compounds according to IUPAC system of nomenclature and also derive their structures from the given names. The naming of the organic compounds is carried out by following a set of rules laid down by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). In IUPAC nomenclature, the names are correlated with the structure in such a way that the reader can deduce the structure from the name. (v) Understand the concept of organic reaction mechanism. Organic reactions involve breaking and making of covalent bonds.

    175th ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH 75 doi:10.2533/chimia.2008.75 CHIMIA 2008, 62, No. 3 Chimia 62 (2008) 75–102 © Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft ISSN 0009–4293 150 Years of Chemistry at the University of Zurich# Conrad Hans Eugster* Abstract: This article was published in Chimia 1983, 37, to commemorate the 150-year anniversary of Chemistry at the University of Zurich. This excellent historical account displays a depth of information and research that makes it very worthwhile reproducing here. It presents an account of Chemistry at the University of Zurich up to 1983 and has not been changed or updated in any way except translation into English from the original German.

    para quitarle el polvo Charles Friedel Jaime Wisniak1 ABSTRACT Charles Friedel (1832-1899) was one of the most famous French chemists of the second-half of the nineteenth century. He conducted important research in mineralogy, in the chemistry of silicon, and in pyroelectricity. Together with James Mason Crafts he discovered the reaction that carries their names and that constitutes a powerful and versatile tool for the synthesis of an enormous number of chemicals of significant industrial value.
