The polar [4+2] cycloaddition reaction of 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)acetylene with thiobenzamide and certain aldehydes of the thiophene and furan series catalyzed by boron trifluoride etherate gives the corresponding 4-hetaryl-5,6-di(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2-phenyl-4H-1,3-thiazines. The photochromic properties of the products have been studied.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 100–106, January, 2005.     

Photochromic Dihetarylethenes. 8. A Novel Route to the Synthesis of 3,4-Bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione as a Potential Photochrome

There is proposed, and in the case of 2,5-dimethylthiophene carried out, a novel route to the synthesis of 3,4-dithienylfuran-2,5-dione type photochromes. This is done in two stages, the first being a Friedel-Crafts reaction of the starting thiophene with the dichloride of squaric acid and the second is a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)cyclobutenedione to give the target 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione.     

Electrochemical preparation of polythiophene via 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene

Electrochemical polymerization of 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl) thiophene produced highly conducting films which showed infrared spectra, visible-near infrared absorption spectra, and cyclic voltammograms identical to films prepared from thiophene. Elemental analysis indicated that almost all silicon atoms were eliminated during the electrochemical polymerization. However, scanning electron microscopy showed a morphological difference between the films from 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene and from thiophene. The electrochemical polymerization of bis(2-thienyl)dimethylsilane, 1,2-bis(2-thienyl)tetramethyldisilane, and bis(2-thienyl)diphenylsilane also produced polythiophene films having unique morphologies quite different from the conventional ones. These findings indicate that these electrochemical procedures must be useful for preparation of new conjugated polymers. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Nitrate and perchlorate salts of a silver(I) complex from 5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene

Bis(5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene) silver(I) complex was synthesized in high yield by refluxing 5-methyl-2-(2,3-diaza-4-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)buta-1,3-dienyl)thiophene (L) with silver nitrate or silver perchlorate in anhydrous acetonitrile. The product thus formed was well characterized by NMR, IR, UV–Vis and mass spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis and electrochemical analysis. Molecular structures of compounds L, [L₂Ag]NO₃ and [L₂Ag]ClO₄ were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the C=N double bond of the ligand rotated during the course of ligand coordination in the case of the perchlorate salt but not in the case of the nitrate salt.     

Synthesis and Characterization of 2,5-Bis(2-pyridyl)thiophene

2-[2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethynyl] pyridine ( 6 ) was prepared in 95% yield by reaction of 2-bromopyridine with trimethylsilylacetylene in triethylamine in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)Palladium(II) chloride and Copper(I) iodide. Desilylation of ( 6 ) by refluxing with sodium hydroxide in methanol (yield 95%) of 2-ethynylpyridine ( 5 ). Oxidative coupling of ( 5 ) in pyridine by oxygen in the presence of Copper(I) chloride gives 70% yield of 1,4-bis(2-pyridyl)1,3-butadiyne ( 4 ). Reaction of 4 with sodium sulfide affords 100% of 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl) thiophene ( 1 ).     

New photoswitching unit for magnetic interaction: diarylethene with 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)-3-thienyl group

Photoswitching of the intramolecular magnetic interaction was demonstrated using diarylethenes with 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)-4-methyl-3-thienyl side group. Two nitroxide radicals were placed at each end of the 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)-4-methyl-3-thienyl group. Three kinds of aryl groups, 2,5-thienylene, p-phenylene, and m-phenylene groups, were used in the arylethynyl moiety. The diarylethene photoswitching units have an extended pi-conjugated chain on one side of the diarylethene. The photochromic reactivity was dependent on the arylethynyl group. Diarylethenes with m-phenylene group showed an efficient photochromic reactivity. Along with the photochromic reaction the diarylethenes showed photoswitching of an ESR spectrum originating from the change in the magnetic interaction between two unpaired electrons. The open-ring isomer showed stronger exchange interaction than the photogenerated closed-ring isomer. The magnetic interaction between two radicals via the pi-conjugated chain was altered by photocyclization due to the change of the hybrid orbital at the 2-position of the thiophene ring from sp(2) to sp(3).

All these compounds were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The HgI₂ coordination polymers obtained with the ligands L2, L3 and L5 show one-dimensional zig-zag motifs and in these compounds the HgI₂ units are connected to each other by the ligands L2, L3 and L5 through the pyridyl nitrogen atoms. The L1 and L4 ligands in the compounds 1 and 4 act as both a chelating and bridging group. In the compound 6 the ligand L6 acts as a monodentate ligand, resulting form a discrete compound. The thermal stabilities of compounds 1–6 were studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA).

Photochromic dihetarylethenes. 10. Photochromic 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]- and 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]ethenes

Dithienylethenes containing the thiophene rings with benzothiazolyl substituents in position 2 were synthesized. 1,2-Bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]hexafluorocyclopentene and 1,2-bis[2,5-di(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]hexafluorocyclopentene possess photochromic properties. The open forms of 1,2-bis(2-benzothiazolylhetaryl)ethenes fluoresce, but introduction of the benzothiazole rings into dihetarylethenes significantly lowers the fatigue resistance of photochromes and favors thermal reversibility.

Easy formation of gold-like lustrous crystals with a high melting point from 1-aryl-2,5-bis[5-(tricyanoethenyl)-2-thienyl]pyrroles

A new class of π-conjugated organic compounds, 1-aryl-2,5-bis[5-(tricyanoethenyl)-2-thienyl]pyrroles that form gold-like lustrous crystals with a high melting point were obtained. The molecules in these crystals are arranged in a planar sheet to get close to each other via the intermolecular CH?N hydrogen bond between the cyano nitrogen and the hydrogen of the nearest thiophene or pyrrole ring, which makes the crystals sparingly soluble in common organic solvents.

Aryl 2-thienyl sulfides and aryl 2-thienyl sulfones

A method was developed for the synthesis of the previously unknown aryl 2-thienyl sulfides; the method is based on the reaction of 2-chlorothiophene and its derivatives with thiophenols in the gas phase at 450–500°C. The synthesized sulfides were oxidized to the corresponding aryl 2-thienyl sulfones, which were also previously unknown. 2,5-Dichlorothiophene reacts with excess thiophenol to give 2,5-bis(phenylthio)thiophene, which is oxidized to the corresponding disulfone.

Synthesis and properties of polyimides derived from 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)2,5-di-tert-butylbenzene

Novel aromatic polyimides containing symmetric, bulky di-tert-butyl substituents unit were synthesized from 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)2,5-di-tert-butylbenzene (BADTB) and various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides by the conventional two-stage procedure that included ring-opening polyaddition in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylacetamide to give poly(amic acid)s, followed by cyclodehydration to polyimides. The diamine was prepared through the nucleophilic displacement of 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone with p-chloronitrobenzene in the presence of K₂CO₃, followed by catalytic reduction. Depending on the dianhydrides used, the poly(amic acid)s obtained had inherent viscosities of 0.83–1.88 dL g⁻¹. Most of the polyimides formed transparent, flexible, and tough films. Tensile strength and elongation at break of the BADTB-based polyimide films ranged from 68–93 MPa and 7–11%, respectively. The polyimide derived from 4,4′-hexafluoro-isopropylidenebisphathalic anhydride had better solubility than the other polyimides. These polyimides had glass transition temperatures between 242–298°C and 10% mass loss temperatures were recorded in the range of 481–520°C in nitrogen. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
