Preparation and Reactions of Octasilsesquioxanes

Because of the length scales involved, nanocomposite materials incorporate extensive interfacial interactions that can result in non-linear changes in the composite property. Chemists often start from polymerizable inorganic and organic constituents in the molecule to build organic/inorganic hybrids that combine advantageous properties of disparate components. Silsesquioxanes (RSiO1.5)n, derived from e.g. RSiCl3 or RSi(OEt)3 by hydrolysis/condensation in a sol-gel process, are a class of s…     

Reactions of α-nitroacrylates with thiophenols

Reactions of α-nitroacrylates with aromatic thiols like 4-methyl- and 4-chlorothiophenols afford a series of new 3-arylsulfanyl-2-nitropropanoates. The latter were isolated as diastereomerically pure substances or mixtures of two diastereomers. Structures of the obtained S-adducts were confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C-{¹H} NMR spectroscopy using HMQC and HMBC experiments.

Reactions of magnesium formate on supports

Thermal decomposition of supported magnesium formate has been studied by gas chro-matography.The reaction paths of decomposition of supported magnesium formate depend on thenature of the supports.For Mg(HCO_2)_2/HZSM-5,the zeolite behaves as a dehydration catalyst togive CO and H_2O at lower temperatures;when the zeolite is modified by phosphorus,the methanationreaction will be partly restrained.In the case of Mg(HCO_2)_2/AC,strong adsorption of CO_2 leadsto the formation of the shoulder peak of CO_2 at higher temperatures,however,CH_4 disappears aftermodified by phosphorus.For Mg(HCO_2)_2/Al_2O_3,the dehydrogenation of HCO_2~- takes place on thesurface of Al_2O_3.The decomposition of Mg(HCO_2)_2 on SiO_2 in hydrogen yields two peaks of COand only one appears after modified by phosphorus.When Mg(HCO_2)_2 decomposes on MgO,the firstpeak of CO_2 arises from the reaction of surface Mg~(2+) with HCO_2~- from dissociated Mg(HCO_2)_2.     

Some Reactions of α-Allenic Boronates

α-Allenic boronates, readily available in high yield from gem-borazirconcene alkanes, react with iodine to give diiodo adducts that when treated with sodium acetate provide 2-iodo-1,3-butadienes. Alternatively, hydrozirconation of the α-allenic boronates followed by treatment with D₂O occurs regioselectively to place deuterium in the allylic position.     

Factors Influencing Sulfinatodehalogenation Reactions of Perhalocarbons

The study on the factors influencing sulfinatodehalogenation of perfluorohexyl chloride plus octene-1 by using Na2S2O4/NaHCO3 discovered that among the various solvents tested (e.g. Me2SO, NMP, DMAc, CH3CN,CH3CN/H2O) at different temperatures, Me2SO was found to be the most suitable solvent and the conversion of the chloride was very dependent on the reaction temperature. When Me2SO was used in the reaction of perfluoroalkyl iodides, the reaction temperature could be decreased by 20℃ as compared with that carried out in CH3CN/H2O to reach the comparable yields.     

Reactions of sulfenyl chloride derivatives of metal β-diketonates

The reactions of sulfenyl chloride derivatives of rhodium and ruthenium acetylacetonates as well as of chromium(III) and cobalt(III) β-diketonates (with β-phenyl groups) have been studied. The studied complexes can participate in the substitution and addition reactions. As compared with the previously studied sulfenyl chlorides of acetylacetonate complexes, many side processes occur in the case of β-phenyl chelates; they decrease the products yield and complicate their purification. In the case of dibenzoylmethenate complexes, reduction reactions can easily occur, giving the partially substituted chelates impurity.     

Stereoselective Reactions of Optically Active Derivatives of α-Methylbenzylaminophosphine

A number of N-(-methylbenzyl) phosphorus amides were synthesized, and their stereochemical properties were studied. Reactions of achiral chlorophosphines with optically active -methylbenzylamine are accompanied by asymmetric induction at the phosphorus atom to give optically active diastereoisomers of N-(-methylbenzyl)aminophosphines, which were isolated as the corresponding borane complexes with 100% optical purity. Stereochemically pure (R,S)-aminophosphines were obtained by decomposition of these complexes via treatment with diethylamine. Their oxidation, sulfurization, and alkylation with methyl iodide afforded optically active aminophosphine derivatives. Hydrolysis of (R,S)-aminophosphines gave optically active tert-butylphenylphosphine oxide and phosphonic acid amides. (R,S)- and (S,S)-Diastereoisomers of N-(-methylbenzyl)phosphinic amides were separated by crystallization and flash chromatography, and their absolute configuration was established. Also, derivatives of bis- and tris(-methylbenzylamino)phosphines were synthesized.

Reactions of cyanofurazans with β-dicarbonyl compounds

In the presence of nickel acetylacetonate, -dicarbonyl compounds readily add at the nitrile group of 4-R-3-cyanofurazans to form enaminofurazans. The adducts obtained from 4-amino-3-cyanofurazan underwent intramolecular cyclization on heating with AcOH in EtOH to give furazano[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives in high yields.     

Reactions of α-aminoazoles with diethyl benzylidenemalonate

Cyclocondensations of diethyl benzylidenemalonate with 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole, and 2-amino-benzimidazole in alcohols take a single route and lead to the formation of functionally substituted partially hydrogenated pyrazolo-, triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidin-5-ones and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-one respectively. From reaction mixtures involving 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and its 5-methylsulfanyl analog in methanol the intermediate products of heterocyclization were isolated forming as a result of alkylation with the β-carbon of the unsaturated ester the endocyclic nucleophilic sites of aminoazoles. The structure of one among the products obtained, diethyl(3-amino-5-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazol-2-yl)benzylmalonate was proved by X-ray crystallography. In DMF the same reagents yielded mixtures of partially hydrogenated triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones.

Reactions of α-Hydroxyphosphonates under PTC Conditions

Abstract

We found, that dialkyl phosphite 1 and oxo-compound 2 in an equilibrium reaction give an adduct α-hydroxyphosphonate 5 un -der phase-transfer catalytic conditions [K₂CO₃/TEBA/dichloroethane or aromatic solvents (solid-liquid PTC); 50% NaOH/TEBA/dichloroethane or benzene (liquid-liquid PTC)]. On the other hand 3, is transformed to phosphate 4 or to α-alkoxyphosphonate 5 in the presence of alkylating agent using PTC circumstances.     

Reactions of Thienyl Containing Trisilane Under Irradiation

2-phenyl-2-furylhexamethyltrisilane and 2-phenyl-2-thienylhexamethyltrisilane (1) weresynthesized via Grignard-like reactions. The photolysis of 2-phenyl-2-furylhexamethyltrisilane inthe presence of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene led to normal silylene-olefin addition and silylene C-Hinsertion reactions. Whereas, when 1 was photolyzed in the methanol-cyclohexene system, a radicalreaction mechanism is occurred. We suspect that the sulfur atom of the thienyl group strongly stabi-lized the silyl radical. This result was supported by both identifyling its typical radical reactions prod-ucts and ESR spectra of its quenching product with radical quencher.     

Enantioselectivity of Photochemical Reactions within Polymer Microcapsules

Polymer microcapsule was employed as a reactionmedium to achieve enantioselectivity in photochemical reduction of phenyl cyclohexyl ketone and photoelectrocycliztion of tropolone methyl ether under the influence of various chiral inductors.In all cases,low but evident enantioselectivity was observed.The poor enantioselectivity is probably due to the facts that not all the capsules include simultaneously both the chiral inductor and the reactant molecules,and the wall of the microcapsule is not rigid enough to hold the reactant and the chiral inductor molecules in close contact.     

A New Formulation of the Lindemann Mechanism of Unimolecular Reactions

A new formulation of the Lindemann mechanism of unimolecular reactions in gaseous phase is presented, without the use of steady state hypothesis. It is hereby shown that the nature of applicability of steady state hypothesis in the regime of high reactant gas pressure is different from that in the regime of low gas pressure. In the former case it is an equilibrium approximation, while in the latter case it is a highly reactive intermediate approximation in no connection with a steady state. Furthermore for the latter case it is shown that in the classical formulation of Lindemann mecbRnism the use of steady state hypothesis is an ad hoc assumption. A highly reactive intermediate in the sense that its concentration is very small during the whole course of reaction is a necessary condition for the applicability of very reactive intermediate approximation. When the two distinctive nature of the applicability of steady state hypothesis is mlxed-up, wrong or useless conclusion may be arrived at. The only possible case of realizing a true steady state in a complex reaction is pointed out.
