Synthesis, crystal structure, binding properies of a noncyclic crown-type receptor derived from diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril

A novel noncyclic crown-type diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril derivative receptor was synthesised and its crystal structure was obtained. The study of its binding behaviour towards neutral guests showed that it can bind hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol.

Efficient dichloromethylation of some aromatic hydrocarbons catalyzed by a new ionic liquid [C12minPEG800]br under homogeneous catalysis in aqueous media

A series of new imidazolium-type ionic liquids based on polyethylene glycol have been prepared. The new recyclable temperature-dependant phase-separation system comprised of [C12minPEG800]Br and methylcyclohexane was also developed and successfully applied to the dichloromethylation of some aromatic hydrocarbons to prepare dichloromethyl-substituted hydrocarbons in excellent yields. The ionic liquid could be excellent recycled without any apparent loss of catalytic activity and little loss of weight even after 8 times recycling.

Identification of alkylarene chloromethylation products using gas-chromatographic retention indices

Gas-chromatographic retention indices on standard nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane stationary phases allow identification of products formed by known organic reactions even without using mass-spectrometric data. The efficiency of this approach was demonstrated by the example of identification of previously uncharacterized chloromethyl derivatives of alkylarenes, including structural isomers of compounds containing several chloromethyl groups, directly in reaction mixtures. Chromatographic analysis of such reaction mixtures allows identification of positional isomers of the starting alkylarenes even when they are present simultaneously. The retention indices were determined for the first time for more than 50 alkyl-(chloromethyl)arenes, by-products of chloromethylation, and chloromethyl derivatives of the simplest alkyl phenyl ketones.
