Synthesis

Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is obtained by reacting ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride.Combine ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol, 172 mg) and oxalyl chloride (1.2 mmol, 152 mg, 0.103 ml) in dry toluene (5 mL) and add a drop of freshly distilled DMF. Purge the reaction vessel with argon and heat the reaction under stirring for 3 h. Stop the stirring, decant the toluene solution and filter. Evaporate the volatiles. Transform into crystalline form by trituration with diethyl ether. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.18 - 3.12 (m, 2H 2CH) 1.96 - 1.83 (m, 4H 2CH2) 1.57 - 1.49 (m, 4H 2CH2).

Synthesis method of trans 1 and 2 - cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid monomethylester

The invention provides a synthesis method of trans 1 and 2 - cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid monomethylester, and belongs to the field of organic synthesis. The trans 1-2 -cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid monomethylester synthesis method comprises the following steps: trans-cyclohexane -1 and 2 -dicarboxylic acid anhydride. The methanol and solvent is added to the reaction vessel, stirred and purified to obtain the target product trans 1, 2 - cyclohexanedicarboxylate, wherein the solvent is any one or more of tetrahydrofuran, 2 - methyltetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate or diethyl ether. Since a specific solvent is selected for the reaction solvent, racemization does not occur in the process of synthesizing trans 1 and 2 - cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester, and the trans ee and 1 cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester with higher 2 - value can be finally obtained.

RECYCLABLE POLYMERS BASED ON RING-FUSED GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONES

The invention discloses a class of new polymers, trans-ring-fused poly(4-hydroxybutyrate)s (RF-P4HB) that exhibit a unique set of properties, including robust thermal stability and mechanical strength, quantitative recyclability to the building block monomers via thermolysis and/or chemical catalysis, and convenient production from the chemical ring-opening polymerization under ambient temperature and pressure. Another unique property is the formation of crystalline stereocomplexed polymers with high melting temperature upon mixing the two enantiomeric RF-P4HB chains via stereocomplexing co-crystallization. This invention also provides the corresponding ring-fused lactone monomer structures that enable the synthesis of the RF-P4HB polymers, through trans-fusing of rings to the parent γ-butyrolactone ring. Furthermore, a polymerization or copolymerization process for the synthesis of RF-P4HB polymers and copolymers is disclosed.

Catalytic hydrogenation products of aromatic and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids

Hydrogenation of aromatic dicarboxylic acids gave 100 % selectivity to respective cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid with 5 % Pd/C catalyst. 5 % Ru/C catalyst was observed to give over hydrogenation products at 493 K and at lower temperature (453 K) the selectivity for cyclohexane dicarboxylic acids was increased. Hydrogenation of phthalic acid with Ru-Sn/Al2O3 catalyst was observed to give phthalide instead of 1,2-benzene dimethanol or 2-hydroxy methyl benzoic acid. Ru-Sn/Al2O3 catalyst selectively hydrogenated the carboxylic group of cyclohexane dicarboxylic acids to give cyclohexane dimethanol. Use of proper catalysts and reaction conditions resulted in desired products.

Exploring the active conformation of cyclohexane carboxylate positive allosteric modulators of the type 4 metabotropic glutamate receptor

The active conformation of a family of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 4 (mGlu4) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with the cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylic scaffold present in cis-2-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamoyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (VU0155041) was investigated by testing structurally similar six-membered ring compounds that have a locked conformation. The norbornane and cyclohexane molecules designed as mGlu4 conformational probes and the enantiomers of the trans diastereomer were computationally characterized and tested in mGlu4 pharmacological assays. The results support a VU0155041 active conformation, with the chair cyclohexane having the aromatic amide substituent in an axial position and the carboxylate in an equatorial position. Moreover, the receptor displays enantiomeric discrimination of the chiral PAMs. The constructed pharmacophore characterized a highly constrained mGlu4 allosteric binding site, thus providing a step forward in structure-based drug design for mGlu4 PAMs.

(1 R,2 R)-N-(1-cyanocyclopropyl)-2-(6-methoxy-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrido[4,3- b]indole-2-carbonyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (AZD4996): A potent and highly selective cathepsin k inhibitor for the treatment of osteoarthritis

Directed screening of nitrile compounds revealed 3 as a highly potent cathepsin K inhibitor but with cathepsin S activity and very poor stability to microsomes. Synthesis of compounds with reduced molecular complexity, such as 7, revealed key SAR and demonstrated that baseline physical properties and in vitro stability were in fact excellent for this series. The tricycle carboline P3 unit was discovered by hypothesis-based design using existing structural information. Optimization using small substituents, knowledge from matched molecular pairs, and control of lipophilicity yielded compounds very close to the desired profile, of which 34 (AZD4996) was selected on the basis of pharmacokinetic profile.

METHOD OF CONVEYING LIQUIDS

The present invention relates to a method of continuously conveying a liquid which is used as starting material in a chemical reaction by means of a displacement pump having physically separate forward-transport valves and a liquid-filled bidirectional flow line between displacement pump and forward-transport valves, wherein an auxiliary liquid which is a product or a starting material of the chemical reaction and has a melting point which is below the melting point or below the saturation temperature of the liquid to be conveyed is present in the bidirectional flow line. The present invention additionally provides for the use of a product formed by hydrogenation of an aromatic compound as auxiliary liquid for conveying an aromatic compound and also the use of an alcohol or an ester derived from alcohol and carboxylic acid as auxiliary liquid for conveying carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid derivatives.

A diester represented by the formula wherein A represents a cyclohexane ring, cyclohexene ring or benzene ring, X is H or methyl group, RX and RY are the same or different and each is C3-C18 branched-chain alkyl group, C1-C18 straight-chain alkyl group, C2-C18 straight-chain alkenyl or C3-C18 cycloalkyl, provided that when A is a benzene ring, RX and RY are different from each other and —COORX and —COORY are attached to two adjacent carbon atoms of the benzene ring, and having the following properties: 1) a total acid number of 0.05 mgKOH/g or less, 2) a sulfated ash content of 10 ppm or less, 3) a sulfur content of 20 ppm or less, 4) a phosphorus content of 20 ppm or less, 5) a peroxide value of 1.0 meq/kg or less, 6) a carbonyl value of 10 or less; 7) a volume resistivity of 1×1011 Ω·cm or more, 8) a hydroxyl value of 3 mgKOH/g or less, and 9) a water content of 100 ppm or less, a process for preparing the same and a refrigerator lubricating oil comprising the diester.
