Reaction of 5-alkylidenerhodanines with diazonium salts

In the action of diazonium salts on 5-alkylidenerhodanines, azo compounds are formed by the replacement of one or two hydrogen atoms in the methyl group. In the case of 5-ethylidenerhodanines, the formation of an azorhodanine through the replacement of the alkylidene residue by an arylazo group takes place simultaneously. In the formazyl derivatives the long-wave absorption maximum is displaced hypsochromically by 15–20 nm as compared with the dyes having a single azo group.     

On the cyclization of ortho-alkynylbenzene diazonium salts

Cyclization of ortho-(phenylethynyl)benzene diazonium salts containing groups of +C character at the para-position of the phenyl ring proceeds with closure to a pyrazole, but not to a pyridazine as is the case in the presence of neutral or −C groups.     

Role of adsorbed surfactant in the reaction of aryl diazonium salts with single-walled carbon nanotubes

Because covalent chemistry can diminish the optical and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), there is significant interest in developing methods of controllably functionalizing the nanotube sidewall. To date, most attempts at obtaining such control have focused on reaction stoichiometry or strength of oxidative treatment. Here, we examine the role of surfactants in the chemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes with aryl diazonium salts. The adsorbed surfactant layer is shown to affect the diazonium derivatization of carbon nanotubes in several ways, including electrostatic attraction or repulsion, steric exclusion, and direct chemical modification of the diazonium reactant. Electrostatic effects are most pronounced in the cases of anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate and cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, where differences in surfactant charge can significantly affect the ability of the diazonium ion to access the SWCNT surface. For bile salt surfactants, with the exception of sodium cholate, we find that the surfactant wraps tightly enough such that exclusion effects are dominant. Here, sodium taurocholate exhibits almost no reactivity under the explored reaction conditions, while for sodium deoxycholate and sodium taurodeoxycholate, we show that the greatest extent of reaction is observed among a small population of nanotube species, with diameters between 0.88 and 0.92 nm. The anomalous reaction of nanotubes in this diameter range seems to imply that the surfactant is less effective at coating these species, resulting in a reduced surface coverage on the nanotube. Contrary to the other bile salts studied, sodium cholate enables high selectivity toward metallic species and small band gap semiconductors, which is attributed to surfactant-diazonium coupling to form highly reactive diazoesters. Further, it is found that the rigidity of anionic surfactants can significantly influence the ability of the surfactant layer to stabilize the diazonium ion near the nanotube surface. Such Coulombic and surfactant packing effects offer promise toward employing surfactants to controllably functionalize carbon nanotubes.     

Reaction of heterocyclic diazonium salts with hydrazones

Depending on the nature of the heteroring and the hydrazone, a formazan or a heterylazophenylhydrazone are formed in the reaction of an aryl hydrazone with the diazonium salt obtained from a heterocyclic amine. Disproportionate to form a triphenylformazan is also possible.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1062–1064, August, 1972     

Azocoupling reaction of 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with diazonium salts and the properties of its products

It has been shown that drotaverine base and 1-benzyl-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline react with diazonium salts to form hydrazones. The position of the K-band in the UV spectra of the compounds obtained depends on the nature of the substituenst in the aromatic ring and the absorption frequency correlates with its Hammett constant. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–251, February, 2008.     

Reaction of some organomercury compounds with diazonium salts

Summary We were the first to replace a mercury atom attached to a saturated carbon atom by the arylazo group. The reaction of the p-nitro- and 2,4-dinitrophenyldiazonium fluoborates with ethyl -bromomercuriphenylacetate and with bromomercurimethyl tert-butyl ketone give the corresponding arylhydrazones in good yields.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1711–1712, September, 1964     

Synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via coupling reaction of diaminomaleonitrile with aromatic diazonium salts

A mild procedure for the preparation of 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-iminoacetonitriles and 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-oxoacetonitriles was achieved by the reaction of diaminomaleonitrile and phenyl/substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides. 4-Nitrophenyl diazonium chloride afforded 2-amino-3-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)triaz-1-en-1-yl)maleonitrile. Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.     

Sustainable Heck-Matsuda reaction with catalytic amounts of diazonium salts: an experimental and theoretical study

The palladium-catalyzed Heck-Matsuda reaction with a catalytic amount of an in-situ-generated diazonium salt proceeded under mild and sustainable conditions. The reaction proceeded at room temperature, under base-free conditions, and only generated tBuOH, H(2)O, and N(2) as by-products. Ortho-substituted diazonium salts were more-efficiently coupled to methyl acrylate than their corresponding para isomers, which required the addition of anisole as an additive. In support of these experimental data, we carried out theoretical studies to gain a deeper understanding of these reaction outcomes.
