Vinyl monomers bearing chromophore moieties and their polymers. V. Synthesis and fluorescence behavior of a vinyloxy monomer bearing electron-accepting chromophore moiety,N-(2-(vinyloxy)ethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide,and its polymer

A vinyloxy monomer bearing electron-accepting chromophore, N-(2-(vinyloxy)ethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide (VOENI), was synthesized by reaction of potassium 1,8-naphthalimide with 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether. VOENI can be homopolymerized by cationic initiation and copolymerized with maleic anhydride (MAn) under radical initiation. The fluorescence behaviors of VOENI and its polymers were investigated. It has been found that the fluorescence intensity of the VOENI monomer is much lower than that of its polymers at the same chromophore concentration. This means that a “structural self-quenching effect” (SSQE) has been also observed in the vinyloxy monomer consisting of an electron-accepting chromophore, which has opposite electronic structure in comparison with acrylates bearing electron-donating chromophores as we have reported previously. The SSQE is attributed to the charge-transfer interaction between the electron-accepting chromophore and the electron-donating double bond in the same molecule. The fluorescence quenching of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride and P(VOENI-co-MAn) by ethyl vinyl ether (EVE), dihydrofuran, triethylamine (TEA), etc. evidences that the electron-rich vinyloxy group does act as an important role in the SSQE of VOENI. C₆₀ can also quench the fluorescence of the polymers, and an upward deviation from the linearity of the Stern–Volmer plot was observed showing that C₆₀ acted as a powerful electron donor to quench the fluorescence of the copolymer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A one-pot synthesis and mild cleavage of 2-[2- or 5-(alkylsulfanyl)pyrrol-1-yl]ethyl vinyl ethers by t-BuOK/DMSO: a novel and facile approach to N-vinylpyrroles

Substituted N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrroles, prepared in good yield through an allenic or acetylenic carbanion/isothiocyanate one-pot methodology from 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate and allyloxyallene, methoxyallene, N,N-dimethyl-2-propyn-1-amine, and 3-methoxy-1-(methylsulfanyl)-1-propyne, are smoothly converted into the corresponding N-vinylpyrroles using t-BuOK/DMSO (room temperature). The reaction proceeds via elimination of vinyl alcohol from the N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] substituent and represents a novel approach to N-vinylpyrroles.     

Vinyl monomers bearing chromophore moieties and their polymers. VIII. synthesis and fluorescence behavior of a vinyloxy monomer having an electron‐accepting chromophore moiety,p‐((vinyloxy)methyl)benzonitrile,and its polymers

A vinyloxy monomer having an electron‐accepting chromophore moiety, p‐((vinyloxy)methyl)benzonitrile (VOMBN), was synthesized by reaction of p‐(hydroxymethyl)benzonitrile with ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) in the presence of mercuric acetate. VOMBN can easily be cationically homopolymerized and copolymerized with EVE by using Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride etherate (BF₃ · OEt₂) as a catalyst and radically copolymerized with maleic anhydride (MAn) using AIBN as an initiator. The fluorescence behaviors of VOMBN, its copolymer P(VOMBN‐co‐MAn), and its saturated model compound p‐(ethoxymethyl)benzonitrile (EOMBN) were investigated in acetonitrile. It has been found that the fluorescence intensity of VOMBN is much lower than its copolymer and EOMBN at the same chromophore concentration. A fluorescence “structural self‐quenching effect” (SSQE) is also observed for VOMBN as we have reported previously [Li, F. M.; Chen, S. J.; Li, Z. C.; Qiu, J. J Polym Sci Polym Chem 1996, 34, 1881]. This phenomenon has been attributed to the inter‐ and intramolecular charge transfer interaction between the electron‐accepting cyanophenyl chromophore and the electron‐donating vinyloxy group in the same molecule. The dependence of the fluorescence intensity of VOMBN on solvents of different viscosities is evidence that the SSQE of VOMBN mainly occurs intramolecularly. The fluorescence of EOMBN and P(VOMBN‐co‐MAn) was quenched by a series of electron‐rich vinyloxy compounds which do not have chromophore moieties, such as dihydrofuran (2H‐furan), dihydropyran (2H‐pyran), furan, and EVE. It is observed that the higher the electron‐donating ability of the quenchers, the greater the quenching efficiency. P(VOMBN) and the random copolymers of VOMBN with EVE show broader fluorescence spectra as compared to the alternating copolymer P(VOMBN‐co‐MAn). This indicates that there is a mutual interaction between the adjacent cyanophenyl groups in P(VOMBN) and P(VOMBN‐co‐EVE), whereas such an interaction does not exist for P(VOMBN‐co‐MAn) in which the cyanophenyl groups are isolated by the rigid succinic anhydride rings. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reactions of Heterocumulenes with Organometallic Reagents: IX. Synthesis and Rearrangements of N-Allyl-and N-[2-(Vinyloxy)ethyl]-3-butenethioamides and -1-(methylsulfanyl)-3-buten-1-imines

Reactions of allyl and 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanates with alyylmagnesium bromide (THF-Et₂O, 20-30°C, 1-3 h) after hydrolysis or alkylation of adducts afforded respectively N-allyl- and N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-3-butenethioamides or N-allyl- and N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1-(methylmercapto)-3-buten-1-imines. The reaction carried out in ethyl ether yielded instead of Nt-allyl-3-butenethioamide its isomer N-allyl-2-butenethioamide that cleanly isomerized in the system KOH-DMSOH₂O into N-(1-propenyl)-2-butenethioamide. N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-3-butenethioamide suffers a prototropic rearrangement into N-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-2-butenethioamide only in the system

Computation of conformations of 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,4-dihydropyran with intramolecular hydrogen bonds

The conformations of 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,4-dihydropyran were calculated by the methods of molecular mechanics and MNDO/H with and without allowance for the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Two possible centers of the formation of the intramolecular hydrogen bond,viz., the oxygen atoms of the alkoxy radical and of the dihydropyran cycle, have been considered. The results obtained show that 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,4-dihydropyran does not exist in any preferable conformation.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of 1-(alkylamino)- and 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones

Unlike 1-aminobenzimidazoles, 1-alkylaminobenzimidazoles are thiolated on fusing with sulfur without elimination of theN-amino group, yielding the previously unknown 1-(alkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones. These compounds can be more conveniently obtained on a preparative scale by thiolation of 1-alkylacetamidobenzimidazoles with subsequent hydrolytic elimination of the acetyl group. When 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoles are fused with sulfur, they are converted into 1-(dialkylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones. By alkylation of 1-(methylamino)- and 1-(diethylamino)benzimidazoline-2-thiones with methyl iodide in alkaline media the corresponding 2-(methylthio)benzimidazoles were prepared.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and Structures of 1-(2-Thienylmethyl)-2-(2-thienyl)bezimidazole and Its Cu(I) and Ag(I) Complexes

N,N′-1,2-phenylenebis(2-thienylideneimine) (PTI) can be obtained via the condensation of o-phenylenediamine and thiophene-2-carboxaldhyde in cyclohexane. It isomerized to its cyclic form 1-(2-thienylmethyl)-2-(2-thienyl)benzimidazole (TMTBI) readily in the presence of Fe₂(CO)₉. Coordination reactions of PTI with cuprous iodide and silver nitrate in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of [Cu(TMTBI)I]₂ and [Ag(TMTBI)₂]NO₃, respectively, in which the PTI ligand had been isomerized to TMTBI. Both PTI, TMTBI, and complexes were characterized by NMR, IR, and Mass spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis. The crystal structures of TMTBI and [Cu(TMTBI)I]₂ were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic details for X-ray structures are as follows. TMTBI is crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 8.953(3), b = 9.150(1), c = 17.436(2) Å, β = 93.73(2)°, and Z = 4. The final R factor was 0.050 (R_w = 0.066) for 1337 observed reflections. Complex [Cu(TMTBI)I]₂ is crystallized in the triclinic space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ with a = 9.961 (2), b = 10.825(2), c = 9.184(2) Å, α = 112.98(2), β = 110.78(2), γ = 88.71 (2)°, and Z = 2.
