Design, synthesis, and evaluation of a pyrazole-based corrosion inhibitor: a computational and experimental study.

By employing a synergistic blend of experimental and theoretical methodologies, we investigated the corrosion inhibition efficacy of a synthesized pyrazole derivative (BM-01) in a solution of hydrochloric acid (1 M). We utilized molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), density functional theory (DFT), complexation, plus electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). We conducted weight loss (WL) measurements from 298 to 328 K.

MEDT analysis of mechanism and selectivities in non-catalyzed and lewis acid-catalyzed diels-alder reactions between R-carvone and isoprene.

Within the context of Molecular Electronic Density Theory (MEDT), this study investigates the Diels-Alder reaction among isoprene (2) and R-carvone (1R) applying DFT simulations, with and without Lewis acid (LA) catalysis. The results show that carvone (1R) acts as an electrophile and isoprene (2) as a nucleophile in a polar process. LA catalysis increases the electrophilicity of carvone, thereby improving the reactivity and selectivity of the reaction by reducing the activation Gibbs free energy.

This hybrid material displays noteworthy absorption characteristics in the middle and far ultraviolet regions.

ADME Study, Molecular Docking, Elucidating the Selectivities and the Mechanism of [4 + 2] Cycloaddition Reaction Between (E)-N ((dimethylamino)methylene)benzothioamide and (S)-3-acryloyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one.

The molecular electron density theory (MEDT) was employed to examine the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between (E)-N-((dimethylamino)methylene)benzothioamide (1) and (S)-3-acryloyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (2) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) design level. Parr functions and energy studies clearly show that this reaction is regio- and stereoselective, in perfect agreement with experimental results. By evaluating the chemical mechanism in terms of bond evolution theory (BET) and electron localization function (ELF), which divulges a variety of variations in the electron density along the reaction path, a single-step mechanism with highly asynchronous transition states structures was revealed.

Chromatography Scrutiny, Molecular Docking, Clarifying the Selectivities and the Mechanism of [3 + 2] Cycloloaddition Reaction between Linallol and Chlorobenzene-Nitrile-oxide.

Employing the Molecular Electron Density Theory, [3 + 2] cycloaddition processes between 4-chlorobenzenenitrileoxide and linalool, have been applied using the DFT/B3LYP/6-311(d,p) method, activation, reaction energies and the reactivity indices are calculated. In an investigation of conceptual DFT indices, LIL-1 will contribute to this reaction as a nucleophile, whilst NOX-2 will participate as an electrophile. This cyclization is regio, chemo and stereospecific, as demonstrated by the reaction and activation energies, in clear agreement with the experiment's results, in addition, ELF analysis revealed that the mechanism for this cycloaddition occurs in two steps.

In an investigation of conceptual DFT indices, DCYP behaves as a nucleophile in this reaction, whereas ISALL acts as an electrophile. This cyclization is stereo-, chemo-, and regiospecific, as demonstrated by the activation and reaction energies, in clear agreement with the experiment's results.

Corrosion inhibition performance of azelaic acid dihydrazide: a molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation study.

The adsorption of azelaic acid dihydrazide as an environmentally friendly mild steel corrosion inhibitor on the iron surface was modeled in this study. We used density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to illustrate the interactions engaged. The interaction of the azelaic acid derivatives with iron metal (Fe) was examined by DFT as a typical example of a corrosion prevention mechanism after the optimized molecular structures of these molecules were investigated.

Theoretical study of the chemical reactivity of a class of trivalent phosphorus derivatives towards polyhaloalkanes: DFT study.

In the current work, the chemical reactivity of some trivalent phosphorus derivatives RPR towards polyhaloalkanes CClPOR ' ' was studied by the quantum method DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p). The introduction of substituents for the trivalent phosphorus derivative and polyhaloalkane allowed us to have more information on these reactions. On the one hand, the calculation of reactivity indices derived from the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method and the gap show that trivalent organophosphorus derivatives behave as nucleophiles, while polyhaloalkanes act as electrophiles.

Divulging the various chemical reactivity of trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene as well as methyl-4-vinyl-benzene in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions.

In the present paper, an investigation about the [3 + 2]cycloaddition (32 C A) reactions of benzonitrile oxide with 1-trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene, and with 1-methyl-4-vinyl-benzene, using the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) through DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p), is performed. A deep mechanistic study beside an accurate electronic description of different stationary points along the IRC paths of the two 32 C A reactions have performed by examining the two competitive regioisomericortho/metareaction pathways, and providing the mechanism associated with them. The presence of the CF group reduces the activation energy, which makes it possible to increase the experimental yield of the reaction in good agreement with the experimental results.

Simulation of the Final Size of the Evolution Curve of Coronavirus Epidemic in Morocco using the SIR Model.

Since the epidemic of COVID-19 was declared in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China, and other parts of the world, several studies have been carried out over several regions to observe the development of the epidemic, to predict its duration, and to estimate its final size, using complex models such as the SEIR model or the simpler ones such as the SIR model. These studies showed that the SIR model is much more efficient than the SEIR model; therefore, we are applying this model in the Kingdom of Morocco since the appearance of the first case on 2 March 2020, with the objective of predicting the final size of the epidemic.

Theoretical study of the 1,3-DC reaction between fluorinated alkynes and azides: Reactivity indices, transition structures, IGM and ELF analysis.

DFT/B3LYP/6-31 + g(d,p) calculations were performed and reactivity indices, transition structures theory were applied to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the reaction between fluorinated alkynes and different azides.

Examination of the energy profile in the gas phase show two possible 1,4 and 1,5 addition channels for amid, the former is preferred.

A molecular electron density theory study of the mechanism, chemo- and stereoselectivity of the epoxidation reaction of -carvone with peracetic acid.

The epoxidation reaction of -carvone 8 with peracetic acid 9 has been studied within the molecular electron density theory at the B3LYP/6-311(d,p) computational level. The chemo- and stereoisomeric reaction paths involving the two C-C double bonds of -carvone 8 have been studied. DFT calculations account for the high chemoselectivity involving the C-C double bond of the isopropenyl group and the low diastereoselectivity, in complete agreement with the experimental outcomes.

Theoretical study of stereoselectivity of the [1 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between (1S,3R,8S)-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,10-tetramethyltricyclo[6,4,0,0(1.3)]dodec-9-ene and dibromocarbene using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G*(d).

In this work we used density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G*(d) to study the stoichiometric reaction between the product (1S,3R,8S)-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,10-tetramethyltricyclo[6,4,0,0(1.3)]dodec-9-ene (referred to here as P1) and dibromocarbene. We have shown that P1 behaves as a nucleophile, while dibromocarbene behaves as an electrophile; that the chemical potential of dibromocarbene is superior to that of P1 in absolute terms; and that P1 reacts with an equivalent quantity of dibromocarbene to produce two products: (1S,3R,8R,9S,11R)-10,10-dibromo-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,11-tetramethyltetracyclo[6,5,0,0(1.

(4aS,10aS)-7-Hydr-oxy-8-isopropyl-1,1,4a-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octa-hydro-phenanthrene: a new diterpenoid compound.

The new title diterpenoid compound, C(20)H(30)O, is a natural product isolated from Tetra-clinis articulata wood via chloro-form extraction. The asymmetric unit contains four mol-ecules with the same S,S configuration, deduced from the chemical synthesis. Indeed, an overlay analysis, calculated using structure-matching software, shows that the four mol-ecules can be superimposed.
