ABSTRACT
In the present paper, the dislocation-precipitate interaction in the Inconel 718 superalloy is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The atomistic model composed of the ellipsoidal Ni3Nb precipitate (γⳠphase) and the Ni matrix is constructed, and tensile tests on the composite Ni3Nb@Ni system along different loading directions are simulated. The dislocation propagation behaviors in the precipitate interior and at the surface of the precipitate are characterized. The results indicate that the dislocation shearing and bypassing simultaneously occur during plastic deformation. The contact position of the dislocation on the surface of the precipitate could affect the penetration depth of the dislocation. The maximum obstacle size, allowing for the dislocation shearing on the slip planes, is found to be close to 20 nm. The investigation of anisotropic plastic deformation behavior shows that the composite system under the loading direction along the major axis of the precipitate experiences stronger shear strain localizations than that with the loading direction along the minor axis of the precipitate. The precipitate size effect is quantified, indicating that the larger the precipitate, the lower the elastic limit of the flow stress of the composite system. The dislocation accumulations in the precipitate are also examined with the dislocation densities given on specific slip systems. These findings provide atomistic insights into the mechanical behavior of nickel-based superalloys with nano-precipitates.
ABSTRACT
A facile and practical method for the synthesis of fused tricyclic pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines has been realized via the reactions of enaminones, hydrazine hydrochloride, and internal alkynes. By means of Rh catalysis, the extraordinary high-order bond functionalization, including the transformation of aryl C-H, ketone CâO, and alkenyl C-N bonds in the enaminones, marks the major feature of the cascade reactions. The results disclose the individual advantage of enaminones in the design of novel and efficient synthetic methods.
ABSTRACT
A simple and concise method for the synthesis of cinnolines has been developed by the reactions of readily available enaminones and aryl diazonium tetrafluoroboronates. The reactions run efficiently to provide cinnolines with broad diversity in the substructure by heating in dimethyl sulfoxide without using any catalyst or additive. In addition, the primary investigation of the anti-inflammatory activity of these products leads to the observation of p-chlorobenzoyl (3f) and p-nitrobenzoyl (3j) cinnolines as attractive anti-inflammatory compounds in vitro.

ABSTRACT
Nitrogen heterocycles are of great medicinal importance, and the construction of nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds has been one of the focuses in synthetic organic chemistry. Recently, the strategy of transition metal-catalyzed sp3 C-H activation and intramolecular C-N coupling to construct nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds has been well developed. Palladium, copper, silver, nickel, cobalt, ruthenium and rhodium catalysis were successfully used for the construction of nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds, aziridines, azetidines, pyrrolidines, pyrrolidine-2,5-diones, indolines, isoindolines, isoindolinones, tetrahydropyridines, oxazolidinones, oxazinanones, ß-lactams, γ-lactams etc., which have been synthesized by the sp3 C-H activation strategy. Here, we summarize the progress of transition metal-catalyzed sp3 C-H activation/intramolecular C-N bond formation, and introduce both the reaction development and mechanisms in numerous synthetically useful intramolecular sp3 C-H catalytic aminations/amidations.

Reactions of 2-amino-aryl alcohols with beta-ketoesters catalyzed by a catalytic amount of FeCl3 via tandem benzylation-cyclization produce the corresponding 3-quinolinecarboxylic esters in good to high yields. Extending this methodology to propargylation-cyclization, 2-nitrophenyl propargyl alcohols with beta-ketoesters catalyzed by FeCl3 and SnCl2 also produce the 4-alkyne-3-quinolinecarboxylic esters. The mechanistic details of this benzylation/propargylation and cyclization cascade process are also discussed.
