Synthesis of SCF3-Substituted Sulfonium Ylides from Sulfonium Salts or α-Bromoacetic Esters

A metal-free direct trifluoromethylthiolation of sulfonium ylides with an electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagent has been established, in which sulfonium salt or α-bromoacetic ester is employed as sulfonium ylide precursors. This trifluoromethylthiolation enables the straightforward construction of SCF3-substituted sulfonium ylides from a wide range of substrates, including ketones, esters, and even PEGylated substrates. Moreover, the application of this approach in large-scale preparation and the fluorescence and fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging capabilities of the product are also explored.

Heartleaf houtluynia derivatives and their use in medicine

The invention relates to houttuynia cordata derivatives or esters thereof, or an enantiomer or a diastereomer, stereomer, tautomer, hydate, solvate, predrug, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt. In addition, the invention further relates to a preparation method of the houttuynia cordata derivatives, and an application of the houttuynia cordata derivatives in a drug; and the invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition of the compound, and applications in preparing an antibacterial and anti-virus drug especially used for treating various urinary system diseases, and the advantages are that the water solubility is good, the bioavailability is high, the purity is high, and the toxic and side effects and the stimulation effect due to low purity can be greatly reduced.

Biodegradable, non-bactericidal oxygen-functionalised imidazolium esters: A step towards 'greener' ionic liquids

A series of imidazolium ionic liquids was prepared and screened against 7 bacterial strains. The incorporation of ether groups into the ester side-chain significantly reduced the toxicity compared with alkyl ester derivatives. Biodegradation data are also presented for 15 of the ionic liquids - including 6 examples which can be classed as readily biodegradable.

BIODEGRADABLE SOLVENTS FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

This invention relates to ionic liquid (ILs) solvents for chemical synthesis based on an alkyl - imidazolium cation core containing ionic liquids which have enhanced biodegradability and reduced toxicity relative to existing imidazolium bases ILs such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (bmmim) salts. Many of the described ILs produce a score of over 60% biodegradability over 28 days in a biodegradability test such as the Sturm Test, the Closed Bottle Test (OECD 301D) or the CO2 Headspace Test (ISO 14593). The ILs of the invention comprise an alkyl substituted imidazolium cationic core having a -C=OX- side chain in the 3-position of the imidazole ring, wherein X = O, NH, N or S and an associated counteranion characterized in that the -C=OX side chain comprises at least one ether linkage. The biodegradable and non-toxic IL may be used as green solvents for the chemical, pharmaceutical, biofuel and biomass industries. The ILs of the invention are particularly useful in hydrogenation, pericyclic and metathesis reactions.

Bromoacetyl bromide: A versatile and selective cleaving agent for ethers and acetals

It is shown that bromoacetyl bromide can be utilized for the selective cleavage of ethers and acetals in high yields. With cyclic ethers and acetals as starting materials, cleavage products are produced with two strategically positioned bromo substituents which may be exploited for selective extention of the carbon chain.

Styryl ketones

Styryl ketones of the formula STR1 wherein R8 and R9 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl or together represent an additional carbon-carbon bond and R10 is a group of the formula STR2 as well as corresponding compounds of the formula STR3 wherein R10' is a group of formula (a), (b), (d) or (e) or a group of the formula have mucosa-protective and/or gastric acid secretion-inhibiting properties, such that they can be used for the control or prevention of illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract, especially against gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers.
