High resolution mass spectrometric study of organosilicon compounds. Siloxazolidones: Cyclized amino acid-silane derivatives

High resolution mass spectra have been obtained for a series of methyl, ethyl and phenyl substituted siloxazolidones (cyclic compounds derived from the condensation of organosilane derivatives with amino acids). The effects on the mass spectra of these compounds upon substitution at the saturated ring carbon and at the silicon atom, the migratory nature of the phenyl group on nitrogen, and theextent of biphenyl radical ion formation in the skeletal rearrangement processes have been examined.     

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of some disubstituted acetophenones

An accurate measurement of the chemical shifts and the coupling constants of some disubstituted acetophenones has been made. The acetophenones studied contained nitro, bromo or amino groups substituted in either the 3,4 or 2,5 positions. For compounds with no substituent adjacent to the acetyl group, the chemical shifts and the coupling constants estimated by the simple additivity of the substituent increments were found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. The two nitro, bromo derivatives substituted in positions 2 and 5 probably prefer the conformer in which the proton H-6 is adjacent to the acetyl methyl group whilst the 3,4-disubstituted bromo, nitro and bromo, amino derivatives prefer the conformer in which the H-6 proton is adjacent to the carbonyl group.     

Aminomethylation of substituted 5-hydroxypyrimidines

Conditions that make it possible to obtain aminomethyl derivatives of 2-R-4,6-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrimidine that are substituted both in the pyrimidine ring (R = H) and at the methyl group of the side chain (R = H, CH₃, C₆H₃) were found. The facts established in this research make it possible to propose various substitution mechanisms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 681–683, May, 1980.     

Structure/reactivity relationships in the benzo[c]phenanthrene skeleton: stable ion and electrophilic substitution (nitration, bromination) study of substituted analogues, novel carbocations and substituted derivatives

A series of novel carbocations were generated by low-temperature protonation of substituted benzo[c]phenanthrenes, B[c]Phs, and their charge delocalization pathways were elucidated by NMR on the basis of the magnitude of Deltadelta13C values. It has been shown that the protonation regioselectivity is strongly controlled by methoxy and hydroxyl substituents, whose directive effects override methyl substitution effects. Regiocontrol by -OMe and -OH substituents, and its stronger influence relative to methyl groups, was also observed in the nitration and bromination reactions. Charge distribution modes in the regioisomeric protonated carbocations formed via parent B[c]Ph as well as in the benzylic carbocation formed via fjord-region epoxide ring opening were deduced by gauge-invariant atomic orbital density functional theory (GIAO-DFT) and from the natural population analysis (NPA)-derived changes in charges over CHs. These patterns were compared with those derived from NMR experiments in the substituted derivatives. NMR-based charge delocalization mapping provided insight into structure/activity relationships in the methylated and fluorinated B[c]Phs. Regioselectivities observed in the nitration and bromination reactions in representative cases are the same as those via protonations. Among a group of novel nitro and bromo derivatives synthesized in this study are examples, where the nitro group is introduced into the fjord region, for which the X-ray structure could be obtained in one case.     

Study on the Methyl Migration of 10-Methoxy-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine 10-oxide

The title compound (1) was treated with NaH at room temperature in anhydrous DMF to give a sodium salt (containing nitrogen anion)which could shift the methyl group from oxygen to nitrogen atom to form N-methyl phosphinic acid as the reaction temperature was increased to 120 ℃.Three nitro derivatives containing 5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine ring system were prepared for the investigation on the above reaction mechanism which would be possible regarded as a special inter-molecular substitution.viz.,the nucleophilic nitrogen anion from one molecule of 1 attacked the cabon atom of the O-methyl of another 1.In addition,the chemical structures of seven compounds containing 5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine ring system involved in the experiment were confirmed by IR,^1 H NMR,^31P NMR and mass spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of New Substituted 4-Amino-3,5-dinitropyridine Derivatives

Facile synthetic routes for the preparation of some new 4-amino-3,5-dinitropyridine derivatives have been revealed. Nitration of 2-chloropyridin-4-amine （1） as a starting material, in an unexpected one-step reaction, to give dinitrated derivatives, followed by nucleophilic substitution reactions with sodium azide, potassium fluoride, ammonia, methylamine, and 4-nitroimidazol, respectively, gave substituted 4-amino-3,5-dinitropyridine derivatives. Meanwhile, its azide derivative underwent a ring closure conversion into 7-amino-6-nitro-[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]- pyridine-1-oxide. It is of significance that all of the nucleophilic substitution reactions were carried out under mild conditions.

13C NMR chemical shifts of N-unsubstituted- and N-methyl-pyrazole derivatives

¹³C shielding data for 100 derivatives of pyrazole are reported. These include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, tert-butyl, phenyl, hydroxymethyl, carboxyl, ethoxycarbonyl, cyano, amino, hydrazino, nitro, azido, chloro, bromo and iodo groups as substituents on the ring carbon atoms.     

Solid-state NMR studies of methyl celluloses. Part 1: regioselectively substituted celluloses as standards for establishing an NMR data basis

Three methyl celluloses with completely uniform substitution pattern, 2-O-methyl cellulose (1), 3-O-methyl cellulose (2) and 6-O-methyl cellulose (3), were prepared according to the cationic ring opening polymerization approaches starting from substituted 1,2,4-orthopivalate derivatives of d-glucose. These samples allowed for the first time to sort out the methyl substitution effects on solid-state NMR chemical shifts and relaxation. Dipolar dephasing experiments allowed the detection and assignment (¹H, ¹³C) of the methyl groups. In 1 and 2, these resonances overlapped with those of C-6, whereas in 3, the methyl signal experienced a low-field shift into the region of C-2,3,5. ¹³C T₁ experiments were used to verify different relaxation behavior of the carbon sites, particularly the short relaxation time of at the carbon substitution site next to the methyl groups. This effect was used to unambiguously identify the ¹³C chemical shifts of the carbons carrying the methoxyl substituent, although they overlap with all resonances in the C-2,3,5 region. The data obtained for the standard samples with uniform substitution will now be used as the basis for determining methylation patterns and substitution degree in commercial methyl celluloses.     

Reaction of tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 with sodium alkoxides

It is shown that the reaction of tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 with sodium alkoxides in aprotic solvents at room temperature occurs with initial cleavage of the macroheterocycle and formation of an intermediate — substituted o-dinitrobenzene — whereas the reaction in protonated solvents occurs with substitution of the nitro groups. From among other derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 containing azole rings linked to the benzene ring, only the furoxan-containing crown ether is cleaved under similar conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 37–40, January, 1989.     

DFT study on the structure and detonation properties of amino,methyl, nitro,and nitroso substituted 3,4,5-trinitropyrazole-2-oxides: New high energy materials

The structure, band gap, thermodynamic properties and detonation properties of methyl, amino, nitro, and nitroso substituted 3,4,5-trinitropyrazole-2-oxides are explored using density functional theory at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. It is found that the NH₂ or CH₃ group substitution for the acidic proton at the N4 position of trinitropyrazole-2-oxide (P20) decreases the heat of detonation and crystal density. The density (2.20–2.50 g/cm³), detonation velocity (10.20–10.92 km/s), and detonation pressure (52.30–59.84 GPa) of the title compounds are higher compared with 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), and octanitrocubane (ONC).     

Nitration of benzo[g]isoquinoline and its methyl-substituted derivatives

Di- and trinitro derivatives are formed in the nitration under mild conditions (0–5 °C) of benzo[g]isoquinoline and its analogs with a methyl substituent in the pyridine and phenylene rings. The principal reaction products contain a nitro group in the meso position (attached to the C₅ atom) and in the phenylene ring. The structures of the nitro derivatives obtained and the position of the nitro groups in the molecules were proved by means of the PMR, IR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1658–1661, December, 1981.     

Synthesis of 4‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐one analogues and 2‐substituted quinolone derivatives

A versatile synthetic method for preparing 4‐hydroxyquinolone and 2‐substituted quinolone compounds from simple benzoic acid derivatives was demonstrated. The synthetic strategies involve the use of well known ethyl acetoacetate synthesis, malonic ester synthesis and reductive cyclization. The key intermediates were keto esters 4a‐e , which could be transformed to 4‐hydroxyquinolones 5a,b or 2‐substituted quinolone ethyl esters 6a‐c depending on the reaction conditions. 4‐Hydroxyquinolone analogues were prepared and investigated for N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) activity in vitro. Among these derivatives, 6,7‐difluoro‐3‐nitro‐4‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐one ( 9 ) exhibited moderate activity.     

Rigid cyclophanes that illustrate stereochemical principles

All of the point groups common to organic chemistry except two are illustrated by known compounds that are rigid [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives. Examples are given of transannular directing effects by acetyl, nitro, and acetoxyl substituents attached to [2.2]paracyclophane. In bromination or chloromethylation, proton loss of a sigma complex is rate-determining, and the oxygens already in the molecule remove the proton being substituted. The synthesis of [2.2.2](1,2,4)cyclophane and [3.2.2](1,2,5)cyclophane, and their unusual chemical properties are described. Transannular hydride shifts out of methyl groups due to proximity effects are reported. Torsional racemizations and epimerizations of [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives are reviewed. The diradical intermediates formed have been intercepted by either H· donors, or by addition to substituted olefins. To account for the stereochemical course of addition and substitution reactions in the side-chains of [2.2]- and [4,2]paracyclophanes, new types of bridged carbonium ions are suggested. Conformational equilibria in the four-carbon side-chain of [4.2]paracyclophane derivatives are discussed.     

The Synthesis of Adamantane Ring Containing Benzimidazole,Benzoxazole, and Imidazo[4,5‐e]benzoxazole Derivatives from 3‐Aminophenol

Adamantane derivatives containing heterocycles such as benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, and fused imidazo[4,5‐e]benzoxazoles were synthesized from 3‐aminophenol. The route started with amidation of adamantane‐1‐carboxylic acid chloride with 3‐aminophenol furnishing N‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)adamantane‐1‐carboxamide. Subsequent nitration gave three regioisomers. After reduction of the nitro groups, the respective aniline derivatives were used in the formation of benzimidazole and benzoxazole rings. The cyclization of the 2‐substituted benzoxazole ring was performed using two methods: via condensation of N‐(2‐amino‐3‐hydroxyphenyl)adamantane‐1‐carboxamide with carbonitriles in the presence of a Lewis acid or via Cu(II)‐catalyzed oxidative coupling of aminophenol with aromatic aldehydes. The benzimidazole ring formed by acid‐catalyzed cyclization of N‐(2‐amino‐5‐hydroxyphenyl)adamantane‐1‐carboxamide was then converted to a tricyclic system after three synthetic steps.     

Acid-promoted reactions of ethyl linoleate with nitrite ions: formation and structural characterization of isomeric nitroalkene, nitrohydroxy, and novel 3-nitro-1,5-hexadiene and 1,5-dinitro-1, 3-pentadiene products

The reaction of ethyl linoleate (1) with NO(2)(-) in different air-equilibrated acidic media resulted in the formation of complex patterns of products, some of which could be isolated by repeated TLC fractionation and were formulated as the nitroalkenes 2-5, the novel (1E, 5Z)-3-nitro-1,5-hexadienes 6/7, the novel (E,E)-1, 5-dinitro-1,3-pentadiene derivatives 8 and 9, and the nitro alcohols 10/11 and 12/13 by extensive GC-MS and 2D NMR analysis, as aided by 1D Hartmann-Hahn proton mapping experiments. Similar reaction of methyl oleate gave mainly nitroalkene (14/15) and allylic nitro derivatives (16/17). Formation of 2-13 may be envisaged in terms of HNO(2)-mediated nitration pathways in which regioisomeric beta-nitroalkyl radical intermediates derived from attack of NO(2) to the 1,4-pentadiene moiety of 1 evolve through competitive H-atom abstraction and free radical combination routes.     

N′-叔丁基-N′-取代苯甲酰基-N-(苯并二氢吡喃-5-甲酰基)肼的 设计合成及晶体结构

Photoisomerization of Trans Ortho‐, Meta‐, Para‐Nitro Diarylbutadienes: A Case of Regioselectivity

A series of ortho‐, meta‐ and para‐substituted trans‐nitro aryl (phenyl and pyridyl) butadienes have been synthesized and characterized. The effect of substitution and positional selectivity on their fluorescence and photoisomerization were systematically investigated. Among all dienes, meta‐ and para‐nitro phenyl‐substituted derivatives exhibit remarkable solvatochromic emission shifts due to intramolecular charge transfer. On the other hand, ortho derivatives undergo regioselective isomerization upon photoexcitation in contrast to inefficient isomerization of para and meta nitro‐substituted dienes. Single crystal X‐ray analysis revealed existence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the nitro group and the hydrogen of the proximal double bond. This restricts the rotation of the proximal double bond thereby allowing regioselective isomerization. The observations were also supported by NMR spectroscopic studies.     

Synthesis of chlorophyll-a derivatives possessing the 3-(2-acylethenyl) group by cross-aldol condensation and their optical properties

Chlorophyll-a derivatives possessing a trans-2-acylethenyl group at the C3-position were prepared by cross-aldol (Claisen-Schmidt) condensation of methyl pyropheophorbide-d having the C3-formyl group with ketones bearing α-hydrogen atoms including (un)substituted acetophenones, acetylarenes, and alkanones under basic conditions. The Qy absorption and fluorescence emission bands of the synthetic chalcone analogs in dichloromethane were largely dependent on the C3³-substituents. Especially, the introduction of electron-donating and withdrawing groups to the C3³-phenyl ring resulted in bathochromic and hypsochromic shifts of the maxima, respectively. Furthermore, fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes were largely suppressed by the substitution with a nitro group on the C3³-phenyl ring.     

Reductive transformations of unsaturated azabicyclic nitrolactams

Using different reducing methods unsaturated indolizidine and quinolizidine lactams substituted with a nitro group were transformed into various alkaloid-like derivatives. Hydrogen transfer and palladium catalyzed hydrogenation gave compounds of ketolactam or lactam type meanwhile the nitro group was eliminated. On the other hand, in presence of Raney-nickel catalyst the nitro compounds were reduced to diastereomeric amino derivatives whose stereochemistry was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. Using sodium bis-dimethoxy-ethoxy-aluminum-hydride (Red-Al) as reducing agent an unexpected tricyclic azetidine was isolated and characterized.
