High-capacity organic cathode active materials of 2,2′-bis-p-benzoquinone derivatives for rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable batteries using organic cathode materials are expected to afford high mass energy densities since these materials can undergo multiple electron redox reactions per molecule. Although the batteries using benzoquinone (BQ) derivatives as organic cathode active materials exhibited high theoretical capacity, their practical capacities and cycle retention were far from satisfactory. To overcome these problems, dimeric BQ derivatives based on the 2,2′-bis-p-benzoquinone (BBQ) framework were synthesized, and the charge-discharge behaviour of the prepared cells using BBQs as the cathode active materials was investigated. BBQ-based cells exhibited excellent performance compared to those based on BQ monomers. For example, the BBQ cell afforded a high initial capacity of 358 A h kg-1 (more than twice that of current lithium-ion batteries that use LiCoO2 as the cathode active material) and a high cycle retention of 198 A h kg-1 at 50 cycles. Electrochemical measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that three electron-redox reactions generally occur in BBQ derivatives, although (OMe)2-BBQ appeared to undergo a four-electron redox reaction.

ortho-Directed metallation in the regiocontrolled synthesis of enantiopure 2- and/or 3-substituted (S)S (p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-benzoquinones

Enantiomerically pure (S)S-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-benzoquinones with alkyl and methoxy substituents at C-2 and/or C-3 are synthesized by CAN oxidation of adequately substituted (S)S-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-dimethoxyaromatic precursors 2 or 3. These compounds were obtained by ortho-directed metallation or bromo-metal exchange from the corresponding p-methoxyanisoles in a highly regiocontrolled manner.

SUBSTITUTED 7,7',8,8'-TETRACYANOQUINODIMETHANES. I. METHODS OF SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED 7,7',8,8'-TETRACYANOQUINODIMETHANES

The synthesis of 2-methyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-7,7'-8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethanes was realized from 2-methyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-1,4-cyclohexanediones.These cyclic diketones are obtained with good yields by the Birch reduction of 2-chloromethyl-, 2,5-dichloromethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzenes.

Phenylalkylamines with potential psychotherapeutic utility. 2. Nuclear substituted 2-amino-1-phenylbutanes

A series of 2-amino-1-(4-substituted-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)butanes was prepared as analogues of (R)-2-amino-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)butane (1a). 1-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(N-phthalimido)butane (7) was utilized as a synthetic intermediate common to many of the target compounds. Animal data are presented indicating that most of these analogues have low hallucinogenic potential. Selected compounds were compared with 1a in an avoidance-response acquisition model which differentiates between 1a and the human hallucinogens DOM (2a) and DOET (2b). Structure-activity relationships of these analogues are discussed.
