Acid-Catalyzed Isomerization of 1-Halo-2-Arylthioalk-1-Enes

1-Halo-2-arylthioalk-1-enes, the anti-Markovnikov adducts of 1,2-halosulfenylation of terminal alkynes containing propargyl hydrogen atoms, were found to transform into a mixture of E - and Z -isomers of 1-halo-2-arylthioalk-2-enes under acid catalysis conditions. A plausible mechanism of rearrangement is proposed. The Markovnikov adducts 2-halo-1-arylthioalk-1-enes were partially converted into their cis -form under similar conditions. The halosulfenylation products of 1-phenylpent-1-yne did not show the signs of double-bond migration in the presence of an acid; only partial isomerization of the E - to the Z -isomers took place.     

The Mitsunobu 1-O-esterification of 1-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1H-quinoxalin-2-one 4-oxide

1-Hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 4-oxide under conditions of the Mitsunobu reaction reacts with alcohols giving the corresponding esters at the hydroxy group in position 1. Other representatives of hydroxamic acids such as 1,4-dihydroxyperhydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and 1,4-dihydroxy-3,3,6,6-tetramethylpiperazine-2,5-dione undergo destruction under these conditions.

1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene

High molecular weight, 1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene were prepared in tetramethylenesulfone solution by complexing the electron-poor bicyclobutane monomer with zinc chloride. Methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate under these conditions gave copolymers containing a slight excess of styrene units (ratio 1:1.3 to 1:1.8). High molecular weight homopolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile and of methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate were prepared similarly. The tendency of the bicyclobutane nitrile to form 1:1 alternating copolymers is as great as that of its vinyl analog, acrylonitrile, and the synthesis of other alternating copolymers from this monomer should be possible.     

Synthesis of 2-methylidene-1-silacyclohexanes from 2,6-dibromohex-1-ene and polyhalosilanes

Various 2-methylidene-1-silacyclohexanes were prepared by straightforward syntheses from readily available polychloro- or polyfluorosilanes, magnesium and 2,6-dibromohex-1-ene using Barbier-type conditions or a previously synthesized Grignard reagent. Good yields were obtained considering the low stability of the products in the reaction conditions.     

Oxidation of 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol with chlorine dioxide

Oxidation of 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol with chlorine dioxide was performed for the first time, and the results were shown to depend on the oxidation conditions. Optimal conditions were found for the preparation of 1-methylimidazole-2-sulfonic acid, 2,2′-disulfanediylbis(1-methylimidazole) hydrochlorite, and 1-methyl-3-sulfo-3H-imidazolium chloride. A new salt, 4-methylanilinium 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-sulfonate, was isolated.     

Reaction of 1, 1-Di-p-methoxyphenyl-2, 2-dinitroethylene and 1, 1-Di-O-methoxyphenyl-2, 2-dinitroethylene with 1-Benzyl-1, 4-dihydronicotinamide： Evidence for Concerted Electron-hydrogen Atom Transfer Mechanism

1,1-Di-p-methoxyphenyl-2, 2-dinitroethylene reacts with 1-benzyl-1, 4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) in deaerated acetonitrile to give 1,1-di-p-methoxyphenyl-2, 2-dinitroethane,while 1,1-di-O-methoxyphenyl-2, 2-dinitroethylene fails to react with BNAH under the same conditions, which provides evidence for a concerted electron-hydrogen atom transfer mechanism.     

Fully automated electrophoretically mediated microanalysis for CYP1A1 activity monitoring optimized by multivariate approach

In this study, a fully automated incapillary system was developed to monitor the activity of CYP1A1 (Cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily A, polypeptide 1) in physiological conditions. Ethoxycoumarin, the selected substrate, undergoes an inline bioreaction in the presence of CYP1A1 supersomes and Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced as cofactor, giving rise to hydroxycoumarin, the product that was assayed. The optimization of the experimental conditions was supported by the application of a design of experiment, providing a better understanding of electrophoretic mixing parameters that influence the metabolic reactions. The results obtained in optimal conditions were compared not only to those achieved after offline metabolization but also with liver microsomes. Finally, inhibition studies were conducted showing an important decrease of hydroxycoumarin formation using apigenin as CYP1A1 potent inhibitor. This study demonstrates the usefulness of our inline system for the fully automated in vitro metabolism studies and the screening of new CYP1A1 inhibitors.     

[1+1]-cyclization of 4-(1-adamantyl)-2,6-diformylphenol with 1,3-bis(aminoalkyl)adamantanes

Selective [1+1]-cyclization of 4-(1-adamantyl)-2,6-diformylphenol with 1,3-bis(aminoalkyl)-adamantane under high dilution conditions in methanol was used to synthesize a new type of adamantine araliphanes, macrocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds with phenolic and adamantane fragments incorporated in the macroring. The [1+1]-cyclization reaction proceeds unusually to form, along with macrocyclic Schiff bases, methanol addition products at one of the N=CH groups of these compounds. The [1+1]-cyclization pattern is shown to depend on the reaction conditions and the structure of the starting diamine.     

Enantioseparation of 1-phenyl-1-propanol by supercritical fluid-simulated moving bed chromatography

The enantioseparation of 1-phenyl-1-propanol through the supercritical fluid-simulated moving bed (SF-SMB) process is studied. Non-linear isotherms were measured on an analytical column, and used together with the triangle theory for SMB design to select operating conditions for the SF-SMB. Experiments were carried out on a pilot-scale SF-SMB plant at conditions that corresponded to the non-linear range of the isotherm. Under conditions of low feed concentration, complete separation (extract purity = 99.5%; raffinate purity = 98.4%) was achieved. Under conditions of larger feed concentration, the best separation corresponded to an extract purity of 98.0% and a raffinate purity of 94.0%, and yielded a productivity of 110 g of racemate per kg stationary phase per day.

Efficient sulfonation of 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-pyrroles and 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-indoles using chlorosulfonic acid in acetonitrile

The sulfonation of various 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-pyrroles and 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-indoles using chlorosulfonic acid in acetonitrile has been studied, leading to the development of a clean and operationally simple protocol allowing direct synthesis of the corresponding 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-pyrrole-3-sulfonyl chlorides and 1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-indole-3-sulfonyl chlorides, respectively, both of which may be easily converted to various sulfonamide derivatives by treatment with nitrogen nucleophiles. Efficient and selective removal of the phenylsulfonyl- or tosyl groups in the sulfonamide series may be achieved under mild conditions.     

Synthesis of 1-Acetamido-2-acetyladamantane

The triple bond of 2-ethynyl-2-adamantanol virtually did not hydrolyze under Kucherov reaction conditions in aqueous ethanol and methanol. In aqueous acetic acid arose a mixture of 2-acetyl-2-adamantanol and its acetate. In good yield the 2-acetyl-2-adamantanol was obtained by Kucherov reaction in aqueous THF. This alcohol with acetonitrile under conditions of Ritter's reaction (catalysis with sulfuric acid) afforded a mixture of 1-acetamido-2-acetyl-, 1-acetamido-4-cis- and 1-acetamido-4-trans-acetyladamantanes in 8:1:1 ratio.     

Additive-assisted Rupe rearrangement of 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol in near-critical water

We performed the Rupe rearrangement of 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol in near-critical water to study the reaction under high temperature conditions. The final product thus obtained was primarily 1-cyclohexen-1-ylethanone which was identified by GC-MS. The influences of reaction time, temperature, and initial reactant-to-water ratio on the yield of 1-cyclohexen-1-ylethanone were examined. The yield of 1-cyclohexen-1-ylethanone was 49 % in pure water at 260°C for a reaction time of 60 min. However, when additives such as ZnSO₄, FeCl₃, and NaHSO₄, respectively, were introduced to the water to investigate the effect of salts on the Rupe rearrangement reaction, the yield increased markedly to as much as 88 % in 5 mole % NaHSO₄ aqueous solution under the same conditions. The catalytic ability of the additives decreased in order: NaHSO₄, FeCl₃, ZnSO₄. On the basis of these results, a possible reaction mechanism of the Rupe rearrangement of 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol in near-critical water was proposed.     

The preparation and cycloaddition reaction of 1-sulfonyl-1-trifluoromethyl allenes

A series of 1-sulfonyl-1-trifluoromethyl allenes were prepared for the first time from commercial available 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. Cycloaddition reaction of these trifluoromethylated allenes with nitrones occured readily under mild conditions, giving the corresponding trifluoromethylated isoxazolidines in high yields.     

1-(1-Adamantyl)diaziridine

Gas permeability and stability of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne-co-1-phenyl-1-propyne) membranes

A significant reduction in the gas permeability of the poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PMSP) membrane was investigated in terms of the membrane thickness and the storage environment. The effects of physical aging were observed with thinner membranes and under vacuum conditions compared with storage in air. The decrease in the permeability coefficient was dependent on the decrease in the hole saturation constant of Langmuir adsorption (C'_H), which is related to the volume of the microvoids. Physical aging in the PMSP membrane affected not only the glassy domain but also the rubbery one. To stabilize the permeability of the PMSP membrane, a poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne-co-1-phenyl-1-propyne) [poly(TMSP-co-PP)] membrane was prepared. Poly(TMSP-co-PP) has the same unit of poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne), which membrane has stable permeability. The poly(TMSP-co-PP) with less than 20 mol % PP content was estimated to be a random copolymer based on theoretical gas permeation analysis. In the poly(TMSP-co-PP) membrane, the relation between the PP content and C'_H was similar to the relation between the PP content and the gas permeability. The stability of the permeability was dependent on the PP content. The poly(TMSP-co-PP) membrane containing 10 mol % PP had both high permeability and good stability under some of the aging conditions performed in this work. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Electrophilic condensation of 1-hydroperfluoropropylene and 1-hydroperfluoro-1-butene with fluoroethylenes

Conclusions 1-Hydroperfluoropropylene reacts with tetrafluoroethylene in the presence of SbF₅ to form the corresponding 11 and 12 adduct olefins. The condensation is accomplished at both the CFH and CF₂ groups of the starting propylene. Under analogous conditions, 1-hydroperfluoro-1-butene condenses with fluoroethylenes exclusively at the CFH group.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1591–1594, July, 1982.
