Cyclopalladation of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylisophthalthioamide

Summary N,N,N,N-Tetramethylisophthalthioamide (Hmpt) was cyclopalladated with PdCl₂ in hot dimethylsulphoxide to give [PdCl(mpt)]. The structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The thioamide is metallated at C(2) to act as an S528-01C528-02S tridentate anionic ligand. There is appreciable steric repulsion between the benzene ring H(4, 6) and the dimethylamino groups. The hydrogens and the methyl groups mutually deviate from the coordination plane in opposite directions. The stability of the fused 5,5-membered chelate ring formed by the S528-03C528-04S ligand seems to overcome the steric hindrance. Derivatives were prepared by replacement of the chloride ion with iodide, diethyldithiocarbamate, 4-tert-butylpyridine, or tri-n-butylphosphine, and characterized spectroscopically. The S528-05C528-06S-fused chelate ring was maintained in these derivatives.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of protolytic equilibria of hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid

The heats of dissociation of betaine groups of hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (H₄L) at 298.15 K and the ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 (KNO₃) were determined by direct calorimetry. The standard thermodynamic characteristics of the ptotolytic equilidria of H₄L were calculated using the results from thermochemical and potentiometric measurements made under identical test conditions.     

The structure effect of N,N,N′,N′-alkylamide in the extraction of uranium and thorium

In this paper, nine N,N,N,N-tetraalkyldiamides have been synthesized and the extracting ability for uranium and thorium under different conditions has been studied. All results were compared with those obtained by using tributyl phosphate (TBP) under exactly the same conditions. The extracting ability of thorium and uranium for different N,N,N,N-tetraalkyldiamides is discussed.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of the protolytic equilibria of tetramethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid

The stepwise dissociation constants of tetramethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (H₄L) are determined by means of potentiometry at 298.15 K and ionic strength values of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 (KNO₃). The heat effects of the dissociation of the betaine groups of the complexone are measured by direct calorimetry. The standard thermodynamic characteristics of the protolytic equilibria of H₄L are calculated via combined use of the results from thermochemical and potentiometric studies performed under identical experimental conditions. Our results are compared with the corresponding data on relative compounds.     

Improved Syntheses of N‐Desmethylcitalopram and N,N‐Didesmethylcitalopram

An improved and efficient synthesis of N‐desmethylcitalopram (2) and N,N‐didesmethylcitalopram (3) is presented. The method involved N‐demethylation of citalopram (1) using 1‐chloroethyl chloroformate to give 2 in 87% yield. Synthesis of 3 was accomplished by alkylation of 8 with 1‐(3‐bromopropyl)‐2,2,5,5‐tetramethyl‐1‐aza‐2,5‐disilacyclopentane (9).     

Sensitive Spectrophotometric Determination of Benzoylperoxide with N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine

Abstract

A highly sensitive spectrophotometric determination of benzoylperoxide (BPO) based on the color developing reaction between N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and BPO in the presence of cerium(IV) in weakly acidic media is proposed. The calibration graph is linear in the range 0–6000 ng BPO per 10 ml with an apparent molar absorptivity of 4.73 × 10⁵ 1 mol^?1 cm-1 at 612 nm. The proposed method is about 50-fold more sensitive than N-ethyl-2-naphthylamine (NENA), and application to assays of flour is described.     

Calorimetric study of the solubilization of ethylenediamine,N,N-dimethylaminoethylamine and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine by reversed AOT micelles

Distribution constants and standard enthalpies of transfer of ethylenediamine (en), N,N-dimethylaminoethylamine (dmen) and N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) partitioned between n-heptane and water containing reversed sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) micelles as a function of the molar concentration ratio R (R=[water]/[AOT]) were evaluated by a calorimetric method. The results show that en, dmen and tmen molecules, solubilized in the reversed micelles, are distributed between the micellar aqueous core and the micellar palisade layer. An analysis of the thermodynamic parameters of the partition process demonstrates the peculiar solvent properties of the water containing reversed AOT micelles.     

Physicochemical studies of the structure of N,N′-dinitrourea and its salts

The properties and behavior of dinitrourea and its potassium and dipotassium salts in different solvents have been studied by IR and UV spectroscopy. In different media, dinitrourea can exist in several tautomeric forms. An XRD study of the potassium and dipotassium salts of dinitrourea revealed a tendency toward equalization of the bond lengths of the C-N⁻-NO₂ fragments compared with those of C-NH-NO₂, which agrees with the results of quantum-chemical calculations.

Crystal Structure and Fluorescence Spectra of A Complex of Europium Picrate with N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenyl-3,6,9-trioxaundecanediamide

The title complex Eu(Pic)₃(TTD) crystallizes in space group Pcab with a = 23.714(4), b = 29.245(6), c = 32.035(8)Å, V = 22216(7)ų, Z = 16, D_c = 1.63 g cm^-1, w = 12.5 cm^-1, F(000) = 10976 and its structure was solved and refined to R = 0.083. Two crystallographically different Eu(Pic)₃(TTD) units, in which the coordination numbers of two central ions (Eu1 and Eu2) are nine and ten, respectively, are present in the asymmetric unit. In the ⁷F₀ → ⁵D₀ excitation spectrum of the complex, there are two sharp peaks at 578.5 and 579.0 nm indicating that the complex has two Eu(III) sites. Two different patterns in the ⁵D₀ → ⁷F_j (j = 1-4) luminescence spectrum have been observed (selectively excited ⁵D₀), which further reveals the existence of two Eu(III) sites compatible with the result of the structure determination.     

Mononuclear palladacycles of N,N′-diaryl-2-iminoisoindolines

Reaction of acetato-bridged dinuclear palladacycles, [Pd(iminoisoindoline)(μ-OAc)]₂, with stoichiometric amounts of PR₃ (where R = Ph or Cy) resulted in formation of the corresponding mononuclear phosphine-ligated, six-membered palladacycles with the general formula [Pd(iminoisoindoline)(OAc)PR₃]. The analogous chloride complexes were synthesized by reaction of [Pd(iminoisoindoline)(μ-OAc)]₂ with LiCl in acetone followed by addition of phosphine to afford the monomeric derivatives [Pd(iminoisoindoline)(Cl)PR₃]. Representative crystal structures of both types of mononuclear palladacycles confirmed the mononuclear nature of the complexes and showed a trans-arrangement of the phosphine ligand to the heterocyclic imine-nitrogen of the palladacycles.     

Evaluation of Transient Absorption Spectra of N,N,N’,N’—Tetra—（p—methylphenyl）

Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes(C60/C70)and N,N,N’,N’-tetra-(p-methylphenyl-4,4’-diamino-1,1’-diphenyl ether(TPDAE)have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis.Quantum yields and rate constants of electron trasfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes(C60/C70)in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the trasient absorption bands in the near-IR region where the excited triplet state.radical anion of fullerenes(C60/C70)and radical cations of TPDAE appear.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of new N₁,N₄-substituted thiosemicarbazones

We present an efficient procedure for the synthesis of thirty-six N?,N?-substituted thiosemicarbazones, including twenty-five ones that are reported for the first time, using a microwave-assisted methodology for the reaction of thiosemicarbazide intermediates with aldehydes in the presence of glacial acetic acid in ethanol and under solvent free conditions. Overall reaction times (20-40 min when ethanol as solvent, and 3 min under solvent free conditions) were much shorter than with the traditional procedure (480 min); satisfactory yields and high-purity compounds were obtained. The thiosemicarbazide intermediates were obtained from alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates and hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine by stirring at room temperature for 60 min or by microwave irradiation for 30 min, with lower yields for the latter. The preliminary in vitro antifungal activity of thiosemicarbazones was evaluated against Aspergillus parasiticus and Candida albicans.     

GC-MS determination and optimization of extraction of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-diphenylcarbamide from building materials

N,N’-dimethyl-N,N’-diphenylcarbamide (centralite) extracted from building materials was quantitated using ion trap GC-MS detection technique. Both linearity and standard deviation of the calibration curve were dependent on the conditions of the mass spectral detection. The most precise calibration has been achieved by quantification of a mass ion not participating in secondary reactions and which is produced via single fragmentation. The best recovery of centralite was obtained after either 30 min of normal extraction with toluene at 60 °C or 10 min of ultrasonic extraction with chloroform at room temperature. Using the latter method resorption processes might cause decrease in efficiency of the recovery at longer extraction time.
