A high-yielding method for the preparation of isoxazolopyridin-3-amine derivatives

A highly efficient and green method has been developed for the rapid preparation of highly functionalized isoxazolopyridin-3-amine derivatives in excellent yields. This process has a broad substrate scope, is operationally simple, and generally requires no chromatographic purification. In addition, the process is scalable and significantly greener than current alternatives with a PMI of 18 and water as the reaction solvent.

A photoreactor that generates a thin film upon rotation for efficient irradiation of solutions is described. The reactor is based around a standard piece of equipment found in most synthetic laboratories, namely, a rotary evaporator. Three different photo-oxidation reactions have been used to examine the effects of several parameters such as irradiated volume, flask size, rotation speed, and light intensity. The reactor can be operated in a semicontinuous manner, and two possible configurations are described. The thickness of the generated film and the rate of mixing under different conditions have been examined using in situ electronic absorption spectroscopy.

Safety warning: Any experiment involving flammable organic solvents and air or pure oxygen is potentially hazardous, especially when partially contained, as is the case of the flask of our reactor. We took the following precautions and encountered no problems but we stress the need for readers to make safety assessments for their own experiments as peripheral circumstances may be different from ours. All experiments were carried out in a fume hood or ventilated enclosure with adequate ventilation and the front lowered. Any obvious sources of ignition were removed. Oxygen was fed from a cylinder fitted with a compliant regulator and was delivered at a maintained pressure of 1 bar using a mass flow controller compatible with oxygen. The equipment was maintained and cleaned free of grease at all times to prevent any incompatibilities with oxygen. Temperatures were kept at ambient. When working above the solvent flash point and LOC, care must be taken to ensure that all possible risks have been considered. Appropriate safeguards and suitable safety measures must be implemented.

Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis of Dipeptide (Histidine-β-Alanine) as a Chelating Agent by Using Trityl Chloride Resin, for Removal of Al3+, Cu2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+: Experimental and Theoretical Study

Characterization of synthesised dipeptide (histidine-β- alanine) Dipeptide was successfully synthesized via the standard BOC method. The synthesis of dipeptide (histidine-β- alanine) was approved by using UV-Vis, FTIR, 1 H NMR and LC-MS analysis. The UV-Vis absorbance spectra of histidine-β-alanine obtained in water at 25 °C is presented in Figure 1. The results show that the maximum peaks were appeared at 214 and 264 nm, which can be assigned to π→π* and n→π*, respectively.
FTIR (KBr) n / cm−1 3226 (NH2), 1641 (amide), 1563 (imidazol);

1H NMR (300 MHz, D2O) d 2.60 (m, 2 Hs, 12H), 2.92 (dd, 1 Hs, 6H), 3.08 (dd, 1 Hs, 6H), 3.16 (m, 2 Hs, 11H), 4.40 (dd, 1 Hs, 7H), 6.89 (s, 1 Hs, 4H), 7.66 (dd, 1 Hs, 2H), 7.89 (imidazole ring).

The LC-MS analysis showed a single mass peak in [M + H]+ and [M]− , which
correspond to molecular weight for dipeptide calculated for C9H14N4O3: 226.23; found m/z [M + H]+ : 227.000 and m/z [M]− : 224.800 (Figure 2).
