Synthesis Of Some Ketones Via Nano-Nickel Oxide Catalyzed Acylation Of Arylzinc Reagents; Strategy Involving The Use Of Mixed (Methyl)(Aryl)Zincs, Özgen Ömür Pekel, Ender Erdi̇k, Meli̇ke Kalkan
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Nano-NiO catalyzed acylation of mixed (methyl)(aryl)zincs with aromatic acyl halides in THF at room temperature provides a new facile route for aryl-aroyl coupling. Among NiCl$_{2}$.L$_{2}$ and NiCl$_{2}$.L (L = monodentate and bidentate phosphine ligand) catalysts, the lower catalyst loading of NiCl$_{2}$ (dppf) may seem attractive; however, nano-NiO, being the lowest cost catalyst, is more favorable for aroylation of (methyl)(aryl)zincs. This procedure also provides a supplement to Cu and Pd catalyzed acylation of diorganozincs.

Computational Investigation Of Intramolecular Reorganization Energy In Diketopyrrolopyrrole (Dpp) Derivatives, Şule Atahan Evrenk
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Intramolecular reorganization energy (RE) of molecules derived from the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) unit has been studied using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theory. It was found that the replacement of the oxygen atoms with sulfur in the DPP unit led to a smaller RE for both the hole and electron transfer processes. One disadvantage of the sulfur replacement is the twist of the conjugated backbone, which might impair the $\pi - \pi $ interactions in the solid state. The RE calculated from the adiabatic potential energy surfaces and that derived from the normal mode analysis agreed well for both systems. Electronic structure data showed that …

New azo dyes bearing 2-pyridone and benzimidazole moieties were prepared using diazotization of 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)aniline and coupling of the obtained diazonium salt with substituted 3-cyano-2-pyridones. Obtained compounds were characterized via UV-Vis, FT-IR, and $^{1}$H and $^{13}$C NMR spectroscopy as well as by elemental analysis data. The UV-Vis spectra of the synthesized dyes were measured in thirteen solvents of different properties at room temperature. Solvatochromism and tautomerism of novel azo dyes were discussed. An MTT (3,4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) test was performed to prove the biocompatibility of the investigated dyes. The investigated dyes exhibited satisfying antiproliferative activities against both tumor cell lines, MDA-MB-231 …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A facile synthesis of piperidinium 3,3'-(arylmethylene) bis (2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione) analogs as organic salts is described by the one-pot pseudo-four-component reaction between 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, aromatic aldehydes, and piperidine. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of these systems confirms that the stabilized predominant interactions are N-H\... O and O-H\... O hydrogen bonds. Mild and clean reaction conditions, high atom economy, and operational simplicity of this one-pot multicomponent reaction coupled with excellent yields and no need for column chromatography have transformed this procedure to be a superior synthetic route for the efficient formation of families of naphthoquinone-derived compounds.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. However, there is no effective chemotherapeutic treatment for HCC and its prognosis remains poor. Consequently, it is urgent to find an efficient antitumor agent to treat HCC. In this study, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38), the bioactive metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11), which is 100-1000 times more potent than CPT-11, was coupled with aspirin to give 4 prodrugs. Their structures were characterized by $^{1}$H~NMR and elemental analysis. The in vitro anticancer activities of these compounds on two human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines …

Analysis Of Electrochemical Noise In Nicd Batteries Throughout Their Lifetime, Burak Ülgüt
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Electrochemical noise measurements have been applied to electrochemical systems that show stochastic behavior. The standard area of study that benefits from this stochastic analysis is localized corrosion modes like pitting and crevice corrosion. Application of electrochemical noise measurements to battery systems, though rare, is recently becoming more popular. The present contribution first establishes a method of analyzing electrochemical voltage noise data for NiCd batteries, then follows four samples of batteries in terms of voltage noise throughout their lifetimes. The noises exhibited by battery systems are small, but finite. This noise is expected to be due to variations in the electrochemistry …
