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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Vibrational spectra of N,N-dimethyl/diethylaniline,N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl/tetraethyl-p-phenylenediamine and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl/tetraethylbenzidine derivatives

The ground state and protonated state (quaternized salt) vibrational spectra (200–1800 cm⁻¹) of the title amines are reported for various ring and/or methyl deuterated derivatives. Complete assignments are proposed and compared to those established for the parent hydrocarbons, benzene and biphenyl, and for the parent primary amines, aniline, p-phenylenediamine and benzidine. The electronic distribution, N(n)→ring(π) charge-transfer character and inductive effects are characterized from a vibrational point of view. Finally changes in the vibrational and electronic conformation upon protonation of the nitrogen atom are discussed. These results provide a fundamental basis for the vibrational investigation of excited states and reactive transients of aromatic amines.     

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.     

Enantioselectivity switch controlled by N,N′-di- or N,N,N′,N′-tetra-substituted chiral thiophosphorodiamide ligands,structural relatives of thioureas,in catalytic additions of diethylzinc to aldehydes

We have developed a series of new chiral thiophosphorodiamide ligands derived from (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, which are the structural relatives of thioureas. An investigation into their catalytic properties in asymmetric additions of diethylzinc to aldehydes has shown that N,N,N′,N′-tetra-substituted chiral thiophosphorodiamides can give (R)-secondary alcohols with up to 98% yield and 98% ee, while N,N′-di-substituted chiral thiophosphorodiamides give (S)-secondary alcohols with up to 99% yield and 97% ee values. The enantioselectivity switch is highly efficient with a broad substrate scope. We have also proposed hypothetical reaction pathways, which result in an enantioselectivity switch.     

Radiolytic stability of N,N-didodecyl-N’,N’-diethylhexyl diglycolamide

The radiolytic degradation of N,N-di-dodecyl-N′,N′-di-2-ethylhexyl-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamide (D³DEHDGA) was studied at various absorbed doses of γ-radiation. The degradation was assessed by measuring the variation in the extraction behavior of Am(III) in irradiated solvent systems composed of neat D³DEHDGA or 0.1 M D³DEHDGA/n-dodecane in the presence and absence of nitric acid. The distribution ratio of americium (D _Am(III)) decreased with increase of absorbed dose. The presence of n-dodecane and nitric acid enhanced the radiolytic degradation of the solvent. The third phase formation behavior of Nd(III) decreased with increase of absorbed dose and the third phase was not observed at absorbed doses above 100 kGy. The recovery of Am(III) from the irradiated system was near quantitative in five contacts. The study revealed that the extraction and stripping behavior of the irradiated solvent was quite satisfactory for partitioning of minor actinides from real wastes.     

PVT properties of N,N,N′,N′-Tetraoctyl-3-oxapentanediamide (TODGA)

N,N,N??,N??-Tetraoctyl-3-oxapentanediamide (TODGA) is a versatile extractant for partitioning of fission products from highly active raffinate wastes. Its PVT properties are not available in literature. In this work, PVT properties of TODGA, estimated using group contribution method, are reported. A corresponding-states based equation as well as Wagner constants were also reported in the range of 273.15?K to critical temperature.     

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.

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).

The results were extrapolated to zero ionic strength by the equation with one individual parameter. The thermodynamic constants of dissociation were calculated. The results are compared with the corresponding data on related compounds.     

Features of the reactions of β-aryl(heteryl)-α-nitroacrylates with N,N-, N,O-, and N,S-binucleophiles

The reactions of ??-aryl(heteryl)-??-nitroacrylates with N,N-, N,O-, and N,S-binucleophiles proceed regiospecifically through the initial formation of the Ad_N products, among which only the product from o-aminothiophenol was isolated. The conditions of converting the S-adducts into 2-aryl(heteryl)benzothiazole were found. The N-adducts formed in the reaction with hydrazine, o-phenylenediamine, and o-aminophenol undergo immediately the spontaneous transformation into the linear (azine, azomethine) or heterocyclic (benzimidazole) structures.     

Solvent extraction of uranyl by N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctylsuccinylamide from nitric acid solution

Synthesis and characterization of N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctylsuccinylamide (TOSA) was carried out and used for extraction of U(VI) from nitric acid solutions. The effect of different factors affecting the extraction distribution ratio (TOSA concentration, concentrations of nitric acid, salting-out agent LiNO₃ concentration, equilibration time, temperature and effect of diluents) have been investigated. The results obtained indicated that TOSA have a great capability to extract uranyl with kerosene-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene than other diluents, it have a high extraction distribution ratios when the concentration of TOSA is lower and not found the third matter. It was found that the main extracted species is UO₂(NO₃)₂·TOSA. The apparent equilibrium constant of extraction determined is (2.32 ± 0.31) L³/mol³ at (298 ± 1) K. The enthalpy of extraction is ?35.20 ± 0.352 kJ/mol.     

Preparation and Characterization of N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminium Chlorides,N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdimines,and Lithium N,N′-Dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminates

We describe convenient preparations of N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminium chlorides, N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdimines, and lithium N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminates in which the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or tert-butyl. For the dialdiminium salts, the N₂C₃ backbone is always in the trans-s-trans configuration. Three isomers are present in solution except for the tert-butyl compound, for which only two isomers are present; increasing the steric bulk of the N-alkyl substituents shifts the equilibrium away from the (Z,Z) isomer in favor of the (E,Z), and (E,E) isomers. For the neutral dialdimines, crystal structures show that the methyl and isopropyl compounds adopt the (E,Z) form, whereas the tert-butyl compound is in the (E,E) form. In aprotic solvents all four dialdimines (as well as the lithium dialdiminate salts) adopt cis-s-cis conformations in which there presumably is either an intramolecular hydrogen bond (or a lithium cation) between the two nitrogen atoms.     

Coordination ability of N,N’-disubstituted 9,10-phenanthrenediimines

The ability of N,N’-disubstituted 9,10-phenanthrenediimines in neutral, monoand direduced states to act as bidentate ligands in main-group-metal and transition-metal complexes has been demonstrated for the first time. The formation of metal complexes with the radical anion form of phenanthrenediimines stabilized through the formation of contact pairs (for Li) or chelate complexes (for Rh) has been detected.     

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.
