Improved syntheses of high hole mobility phthalocyanines: A case of steric assistance in the cyclo-oligomerisation of phthalonitriles

It has been shown that the base-initiated cyclo-oligomerisation of phthalonitriles is favoured by bulky α-substituents making it possible to obtain the metal-free phthalocyanine directly and in high yield. The phthalocyanine with eight α-isoheptyl substituents gives a high time-of-flight hole mobility of 0.14 cm2·V -1·s-1 within the temperature range of the columnar hexagonal phase, that is 169-189 °C.

METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING HIGHER-MOLECULAR ALCOHOL

A clean process for efficiently producing, from ethanol as a raw material, higher-molecular alcohols having an even number of carbon atoms, such as 1-butanol, hexanol, octanol, and decanol and a mixture of these. The higher-molecular alcohols are yielded from ethanol as a starting material with the aid of a calcium phosphate compound, e.g., hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2, calcium monohydrogen phosphate CaHPO4·(0-2)H2O, calcium diphosphate Ca2P2O7, octacalcium phosphate Ca8H2(PO4)6·5H2O, tetracalcium phosphate Ca4(PO4)2O, or amorphous calcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2·nH2O, preferably hydroxyapatite, as a catalyst, the contact time being 0.4 seconds or longer.

Regio- and stereochemical study of sex pheromone of pine sawfly; Diprion nipponica

Regio- and stereoisomers of 1,2,ω-trimethyldecyl propionate (ω = 5-9) were prepared from stereochemically pure chiral building blocks as sex pheromone candidates of a pine sawfly; Diprion nipponica. Among the synthesized candidates, (1S,2R,8S)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate was found to be the sex pheromone of D. nipponica, based on compatibility of its GC-MS data with that of the extract of females, and its significantly high pheromone activity in a field bioassay. The field bioassay of the synthesized compounds also revealed that (1S,2R,SR)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate, (1S,2R,7S)-1,2,7-trimethyldecyl propionate, and (1S,2R,6S)-1,2,6-trimethyldecyl propionate could attract male sawflies to some extent as pheromone mimics.
