1H NMR spectroscopy

In this study, ZnCl2 was applied as an environmentally friendly and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for the one-pot four-component synthesis of polysubstituted dihydro-2-oxopyrroles from the reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, formaldehyde and amines (aromatic and aliphatic) at ambient temperature. This methodology has a number of advantages such as use of inexpensive, eco-safety of catalyst, short reaction times, high yields, easy work-up (just simple filtration), and simplicity of operation.

Coumarone-indene resins with epoxy groups (CIRE) have been obtained using light fraction of coal tar or fraction with the distillation range of 423–463 K based on it. Styrene and glycidyl methacrylate were used as modifiers. CIRE were synthesized via radical cooligomerization using monoperoxide derivative of dioxyphenylpropane diglycidyl ether (PO) as an initiator. Thermal stability of PO has been studied. The effect of initiator amount, reaction temperature and time on the yield and softening temperature of CIRE has been determined.

We have synthesized and tested a new binol-aldehyde compound 1, against five diamine compounds. Using 1H NMR (400 MHz) spectroscopy, stable diasteriomeric imine complexes between 1 and five diamines were formed. Chemical shift nonequivalences (up to 0.058 ppm) were obtained for imines. Linear calibration plot was obtained for determining the enantiopurity of diamines.
