Action of potassium fluoride on 5-benzensulfonyl-5,10-dihydro-10-trimethylsilylindeno[1,2-b]indole. Attempted synthesis of dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalene

Summary Mild and neutral experimental conditions were employed in order to maximize the chance of success in the isolation of dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalene (3), a compound expected to exhibit anti-aromatic character, from a precursor. Thus, 5-benzensulfonyl-5,10-dihydro-10-trimethylsilylindeno[1,2-b]indole (7) was allowed to react with potassium fluoride at room temperature. The outcome of the reaction was complex, but the major product was identified as 5,5,10,10-tetrahydro-10,10-biindeno[1,2-b]indolylidene (15). Apparently, the anion8 that was generated by the action of potassium fluoride on7, did not suffer direct elimination of the benzensulfenate anion. Instead, presumably due to the antiaromacitity of3, the benzensulfenate anion was eliminated only after a series of electron transfer reactions, resulting in15. Also, unexpectedly, dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalene dianion (5) was silylated exclusively at the 10-carbon in preference to silylation at nitrogen. Experimental data indicated that the 10-carbon of5 was silylated directly with chlorotrimethylsilane.

Zur Einwirkung von Kaliumfluorid auf 5-Benzolsulfonyl-5,10-dihydro-10-trimethylsilylindeno-[1,2-b]indol. Versuchte Synthese von Dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalen

Zusammenfassung Um maximale Chancen zur Isolierung von Dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalen (3), das antiaromatischen Charakter besitzen sollte, zu gewährleisten, wurden bei der versuchten Synthese möglichst schonende und neutrale Reaktionsbedingungen angewendet. 5-Benzolsulfonyl-5,10-dihydro-10-trimethylsilylindeno[1,2-b]indol (7) wurde dabei mit Kaliumfluorid bei Raumtemperatur umgesetzt. Die Reaktionsprodukte hatten eine komplexe Zusammensetzung, das Hauptprodukt wurde als 5,5,10,10-Tetrahydro-biindeno[1,2-b]indolyliden (15) identifiziert. Offensichtlich ging das bei der Einwirkung von Kaliumfluorid auf7 gebildete Anion8 keine direkte Eliminierung des Benzolsulfonat-Anions ein. Das Benzolsulfonat-Anion wurde stattdessen nach einer Serie von Elektronen-transferschritten eliminiert, wobei Verbindung15 resultierte. Ebenso unerwarteterweise wurde das Dibenzo[b,f-1]azapentalen-Dianion (5) ausschließlich am C-10 und nicht am Stickstoff silyliert. Die experimentellen Befunde zeigten an, daß die Silylierung am C-10 direkt mit Chlortrimethylsilan erfolgt war.

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of amphiphilic crown ether langmuir-blodgett films [1]

4-Octadecanoylbenzo-15-crown-5 (I) and four 4-alkylbenzo-15-crown-5 ligands [4-XB15C5 where X =n-C₁₈H₃₇ (II), X =n-C₁₆H₃₃ (III), X =n-C₁₄H₂₉ (IV), and X =n-C₁₂H₂₅ (V)] have been synthesized. The -A isotherms ofI andII were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films have high stability where the ratios ofI/SA andII/SA were 1 : 1 and 1 : 10, respectively, with a 6.2 pH subphase. The LB films of the crown ethers were deposited onto graphite electrodes pretreated by immersing them in liquid wax. The peak current reached the maximum value when the electrode surface was modified with five layers of the amphiphilic crown ethers.

Stereochemistry of planarchiral compounds,part XII: Absolute chiralities and X-ray crystal structures of 2,2′-Bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl)s

Summary The absolute chirality of the dextrorotatory main rotamer of 10,10-dibromo-2,2-bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl) (1 b), obtained by low temperature chromatography or by crystallisation of the (+)-enantiomer of1 b, was established by observation of anomalous X-ray diffraction as (+)-(R) _p (R) _a (R) _p -1b. This result was confirmed by reduction of (+)-1 b to a dextrorotatory 2,2-bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl) (1 a), which in turn was accessible by coupling of (–)-2-Bromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene (3) of known chirality (S) _p and, moreover, by enantioselective chromatography of1 a on triacetyl cellulose in ethanol. This correlation determines also the chirality of (+)-1 a as (S) _p (S) _p .According to the X-ray analyses the main rotamer of (+)-1 b and the meso-form (2 b) adopt crystal structures in which the bromine atoms come close to the CH₂-bridges. The torsional angles around the 2,2-bonds vary between 33°, 53° and 65° for (+)-1 b, racem.1 b and the mesoform2 b, respectively.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. G. Snatzke (Bochum) with cordial wishes on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his birthday

Summary Reaction of acyclic (B _1–3) and cyclic (R _4–5)BMMA (=N-[b is-(methylthio)-methylene]-amino) reagents withGewald-type thiophene derivatives (2,3) led to annelation of pyrimidine moieties. Thus, linear thiazolo- or thiazino- and pyrrolo-, pyrido- or azepino-fused thiopyrano[4,3:4,5]thieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidines (5 and6) as well as the angular imidazo-fused thiopyrano[4,3:4,5]thieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine8 were easily obtained from one-pot reactions in good yields.on leave from Chemistry Department, Minia University, El-Minia, Egypt     

Optisch aktive,aromatische Spirane, 11. Mitt.: Synthese optisch aktiver mono- bis heptasubstituierter 5-Methyl- und 5-Ethyl-2,2′-spirobiindane und analoger Naphthalinderivate bekannter Chiralität und enantiomerer Reinheit

Starting from optically active 5,5-dimethyl, diethyl, and 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,2-spirobiindane as well as from 5-ethyl-spirobiindane-5-carboxylic ester of known enantiomeric purity and configuration 75 mono to polysubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes have been prepared. Amongst these are several compounds with rings anellated in the 6,7 (and 6, 7) positions, especially a spirohydrocarbon4 x with orthogonal naphthalene units the circular dichroism of which is reported and discussed.Several mono and disubstituted 5-methyl and ethylindanes (1,2) have been prepared as models for synthetic transformations in the spirobiindane series.From the molar rotations of symmetrically diacylated 5,5-dimethyl and diethyl spirobiindanes (4a, 7b, 7c) empirical ligand parameters for acetyl and methoxycarbonyl were determined which gave much better results in the calculation of the rotations of appropriate spirobiindanes (with the shortened polynomal Ansatz) than the -values deduced previously from 5,5-disubstituted spirobiindanes. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.

The reaction of nickel(II) nitrate with 4-(2-bromo-4-methyl-1-phenylazo)-3-amino-5-methy1-2-alkylpyrazoles by refluxing in dimethylformamide in the presence of K₂CO₃ followed by purification with a column filled with Al₂O₃ gave [1,10,11,20-tetrahydro-1, 11-dipropyl-3,8,13,18-tetramethyIdibenzo[c,j]dipyrazolo[3,4-f:3,4-m] [1,2,5,8,9,12]hexaazacyclotetradecinato(2-)-4,10,14,20]nickel and [1,14,15,20tetrahydro-1, 14-dipropyl-3,7,12,17-tetramethyldibenzo[c,j]dipyrazolo[4,3-g:3,4-m] [1,2,5,6,9,12]hexaazacyclotetradecinato(2-)-5,10,15,20]nickel, which were characterized by the results of elementary analysis and the IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1097–1103, August, 1978.     

Synthesis and reactions of new 4-chloro-2-methylpyrimidino[4′,5′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]-benzimidazoles

Summary 4-Chloro-2-methylpyrimidino[4,5:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole (3) was prepared by chlorination of2 which could also be converted directly to 2-methylpyrimidino[4,5:4,5]-thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-thiol (4). Nucleophilic substitution of3 with alcohols, phenols, primary amines, secondary amines, sodium azide, and mercaptoacetic acid gave the corresponding derivatives. The thiol derivative4 was reacted with alkyl/aralkyl halides, phenacyl bromide derivatives, bromoacetone, chloroanilides, bromomalonic ester, and ethyl bromoacetate to afford compounds of potential pharmacological interest.

Synthese und Reaktionen neuer 4-Chlor-2-methylpyrimidino[4,5:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole

Zusammenfassung 4-Chlor-2-methylpyrimidino[4,5:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazol (3) wurde durch Chlorierung von2, welches auch direkt zu 2-Methylpyrimidino[4,5:5,4]thiazolo[3,2-a]-benzimidazol-4-thiol (4) umgesetzt werden kann, hergestellt. Nucleophile Substitution von3 mit Alkoholen, Phenolen, primären Aminen, sekundären Aminen, Natriumazid und Mercaptoessigsäure ergab die entsprechenden Derivate. Das Thiolderivat4 wurde mit Alkyl/Alkarylhalogeniden, Phenacylbromidderivaten, Bromaceton, Chloraniliden, Brommalonsäureester und Bromessigsäureethylester zu potentiell pharmakologisch interessanten Verbindungen umgesetzt.
