Studies in the area of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 1. Arylation and hetarylation of 2,3′-biquinolyl dianion

The 2,3-biquinolyl dianion, when reacting with aryl- and hetaryl halides, forms arylation products at the 4 position, and treatment of these products with alkyl halides or water yields 1-alkyl-4-aryl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls or 4-aryl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls, respectively. Oxidation of the latter yields 4-aryl-2,3-biquinolyls. The cation dependence of the arylation reaction is demonstrated.Stavropol' State University, Stavropol' 355009.

Synthesis and protonation of 2,3′-biquinolyl dianions

It has been shown that the reaction of 2, 3-biquinolyls with an excess of lithium in tetrahydrofuran leads to the formation of dianions, treatment of which with water or D₂O gives 1, 4-dihydro-2, 3-biquinolyls or their 4-D derivatives in good yield. Oxidation of the latter leads to 4-D-2,3-biquinolyl. The reduction of 2, 3-biquinolyl has been studied.Stavropol State University, Stavropol 355009. Rostov State University, Rostov-on-Don 344090.

Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 9. Reaction of 1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyl with organolithium compounds

The 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyl reacts with organolithium compounds to form the mixture of 4-R-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls and 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls in the ratio analogous to the conversion in the series of 2,3-biquinolyl. The utilization of the complex, the organolithium compound-TMEDA, in this process leads, after treatment of the reaction mixture with water, exclusively to 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. Treatment with methyl iodide leads to 1-methyl-2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls.

Investigation of regioselectivity in the synthesis of spiro [pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles] by use of the Huisgen reaction

The Huisgen reaction has been used to synthesize five-membered heterocyclic compounds in high yield and with high regio and stereoselectivity. In the synthesis of spiro [pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindole] derivatives from isatin, α-amino acids, and (E)-β-phenyl nitroolefins, two regioisomers were obtained in each reaction. The regioselectivity of the major product was found to be different from that in reported work, and was investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G* level of theory. On the basis of this new finding, several conditions, for example molar ratio, solvent, and temperature, which affect the regioselectivity of this reaction were investigated; the results obtained are discussed. It was found that the regioselectivity of this reaction was affected by solvent and temperature, irrespective of the ratio of the reactants. Low temperature and high solvent polarity leads to high regioselectivity, and protic solvents result in higher yield and regioselectivity. These results are of benefit for regioselective synthesis of some compounds.

Modification of Metal Complex on the StereoselectiveHydrogenation of 2,3-Butanedione

Nanoscopic metal clusters, because of their substantial difference from metal atoms and bulk metals in size and structure, have attracted great interest especially in the field of catalysis1. It is well known that additives can markedly affect the properties of metal catalysts. The effect of metal ions has been well studied in the field of heterogeneous catalysis2. However, the study of metal complex effect is scarce. We have reported that the metal complex can considerably modulate both the a…     

Spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of cyclopalladated complexes of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline and 2,2′,3,3′-tetraphenyl-6,6′-biquinoline

Comparative study of cyclopalladated ethylenediamine complexes of 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline (Hdphqx) [Pd(dphqx)En]ClO₄ and 2,2′,3,3′-tetraphenylbiquinoline (H₂tphbq) [(PdEn)₂(μ-tphbq)](ClO₄)₂, and the free heterocyclic ligands was performed by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy, electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. It was shown that cyclopalladation gives rise to a long-wave absorption band in the visible spectrum, a batochromic shift of the vibrationally structured phosphorescence band, and an anodic shift of the ligand-centered reduction potential of the complexes com-pared to free ligands.     

Molecular structure of 2,3-(4′-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4′-diphenylacetyl)-benzo-15-crown-5

The conformational state of two benzo-crown ethers with substantially different physiological activity, 2,3-(4-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4-diphenylacetyl)benzo-15-crown-5, was studied in crystals and solutions in CH₃CN and CCl₄ by x-ray crystallographic analysis, IR spectroscopy, and conformational calculations by the method of molecular mechanics. Transition from the crystalline state to solutions was found to be accompanied by a substantial change in the conformation of the macrocyclic ring of all the compounds studied. The nature of the substituent in the benzene ring and the polarity of the solvent have an influence on the conformational state of the macrocyclic ring of the free ligand, which, however, is not the determining factor in the change in the activity of the compounds. The COCCOC fragments of the macrocyclic framework are conformationally labile, readily passing from gauche to trans conformations and the reverse, which is promoted by the negligible energy barriers between the different conformations, determined in the work by a molecular mechanics method.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1819–1825, August, 1991.
