Abstract Meso‐nitrile oxide group in 1,7‐Diphenyl‐containing BODIPYs can be involved in highly unusual [3+2] intramolecular cycloaddition reaction with the formation of the dihydrobenzo[d]isoxazole‐containing BODIPYs. Oxidation of these compounds results in the formation of unprecedented either benzisoxazole‐ or benzo[b]azepine‐fused fully conjugated NIR absorbing BODIPYs. The photophysical properties and electronic structures of the target compounds were studied by an array of experimental and theoretical methods.

Sugar isoxazole based hydrogelators and their applications as reusable hydrogels for dye removal
A series of eleven new N-acetyl glucosamine isoxazole derivatives were synthesized and analyzed for their self-assembling properties. These glycoconjugates are gelators for several solvents and eight compounds are able to form hydrogels, representing the first class of isoxazole based molecular hydrogelators. The metallogel formation and dye removal application were also studied.

A visible light-mediated, I2-catalyzed intermolecular transformation of alkenes, conjugated dienes, styrenes and alkynes to isooxazoline and isoxazole motifs with a-nitrocarbonyls and analogs is reported. The reaction is also applicable to 1,1-disubstituted terminal, 1,2-disubstituted internal and trisubstituted alkenes, and tolerates a range of functional groups including epoxides, heterocycles, phosphates, free alcohols and thiocyanates. Mechanistic studies reveal that a-nitrocarbonyls are first converted to -carbonyl radicals followed by their conversion to acyl nitrile oxides, which subsequently undergo [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reactions with the unsaturated molecules.more » « less

Abstract A series of new isoxazole‐substituted aryl iodides1 a–1 dhave been synthesized by DIB‐mediated [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of 2‐iodo‐1,3‐bis(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy) benzene (4) with corresponding benzaldehyde oximes5 a–5 d. Structure of the synthesized aryl iodides1were characterized by IR,1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS. The structure of1 awas also confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. Further, catalytic activity of iodoarenes1 a–1 dwas screened for the oxidation of hydroquinones and sulfides. On oxidation using aryl iodides1withm‐CPBA as terminal oxidant, hydroquinones afforded benzoquinones while sulfides gave corresponding sulfoxides in good to excellent yields. Iodoarene1 bshowed the best catalytic activity for the oxidation of sulfides and hydroquinones. Moreover, iodoarene1 b, was also utilized for α‐oxytosylation of acetophenones.more » « less

This chapter describes how intramolecular sensitization has been used to successfully form triplet vinylnitrene intermediates from vinyl azide, isoxazole, and azirine compounds. Triplet vinylnitrenes have been thoroughly characterized in cryogenic matrices using UV/vis absorption, infrared, and electron spin resonance spectroscopies. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy shows that vinylnitrenes have a significant 1,3‐biradical character, which is further supported by density functional theory calculations. Laser flash photolysis, which has allowed the direct detection of triplet vinylnitrenes in solution, reveals that they are short‐lived intermediates with lifetimes on the order of a few microseconds. Vinylnitrenes decay efficiently by intersystem crossing to form products because their 1,3‐biradical character renders their vinylic CC bond flexible, which enhances intersystem crossing. At cryogenic temperatures, flexible triplet vinylnitrenes are not stable and intersystem cross to form products. Nevertheless, triplet vinylnitrenes can be stabilized by limiting the flexibility of the vinylic CC bond, which renders them stabile in cryogenic matrices. Thus, they are promising building blocks for high‐spin assemblies. Furthermore, as stabilized vinylnitrenes can also be employed in bimolecular reactions, they have potential for use in various synthetical applications.more » « less

Digonnet, Michel J; Jiang, Shibin (Ed.)Nowadays there is a great demand for LED bulbs which are replacing incandescent light bulbs. LED bulbs are compact, rugged, and free from pollution. Diodes emit a single wavelength. However, phosphor coated diodes generate white light on exposure to blue or violet light. Global research is ongoing to design phosphor coatings which emit high intensity in a broad spectral wavelength region. We are also investigating different phosphor materials to address this issue. We are investigating the suitability of europium doped crystals and glasses for this purpose. Crystals used for this study were procured from commercial sources and the glasses were made in our laboratory by the melt quenching technique. The glass samples were then polished with sandpapers of different grades. Detailed spectroscopy measurements were performed to characterize the materials. Absorption spectral measurements of the materials were performed using a Cary 3E spectrophotometer. Emission was stimulated from the samples by exposing them to blue or violet diode lasers. A compact spectrometer was used for fluorescence spectral measurements. Emission spectral data and lifetime measurements were used for unambiguous spectroscopic assignments. From the emission spectral measurements, color coordinates and color temperature were derived.more » « less
