A DFT study of the formation of xanthydrol motifs during electrophilic poly(aryl ether ketone) synthesis.

The reaction pathway of the cyclization of 2-phenoxybenzophenone into 9-phenyl-9H-xanthen-9-ol in the presence of acid and an excess of AlCl33 was studied using density functional theory. This type of reaction is known to occur during the Friedel-Crafts polycondensation of poly(aryl ether ketones) following the undesired benzoylation of nucleophilic positions ortho- to the growing polymer's ether groups. The formed defect acts as an undesired terminator of the polymer chain, causing severe problems in the polymer's melt state.

Experience of taking care of children exposed to HIV: a trajectory of expectations.

Objective: To learn about the experience of caregivers/mothers providing care to infants exposed to HIV through vertical transmission.

Methods: This qualitative study used Symbolic Interactionism as the theoretical framework. A total of 39 caregivers of children exposed to HIV in follow-up at a specialized service were interviewed.

[Experience of family members providing care for HIV-exposed children: beginning of the trajectory].

During and after pregnancy, mothers with HIV can undergo treatment that is capable of preventing vertical transmission (VT) to their babies. The purpose of this study was to analyze the experience of family members that provide care for children whose mothers have HIV, to reduce the risk ofVT, with emphasis on the beginning of this trajectory. This study was based on the qualitative approach and Symbolic Interactionism was adopted as a theoretical framework.

Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of 2-carboxyazine N-oxides with various (hetero)aryl halides.

Decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions of substituted 2-carboxyazine N-oxides, with a variety of (hetero)aryl halides, by bimetallic Pd(0)/Cu(I) and Pd(0)/Ag(I) catalysis are reported. Two possible pathways, a conventional bimetallic-catalyzed decarboxylative arylation, as well as a protodecarboxylative/direct C-H arylation sequence have been considered. These methods provide the first general decarboxylative arylation methodology for the 2-carboxyazine series.
