Epoxy resins from novel monomers with a bis‐(9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐oxide‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐yl‐) substituent

A new diepoxide and a new diamine, both bearing bis‐(9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐oxide‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐yl‐)‐substituted methylene linkages, were prepared through the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide with benzophenone derivatives via a simple addition reaction followed by a dehydration reaction. These two compounds were used as monomers for preparing cured epoxy resins with high phosphorus contents. The resultant epoxy resins showed high glass‐transition temperatures (between 131 and 196 °C). All of the cured epoxy resins exhibited high thermal stability, with 5% weight loss temperatures over 316 °C, and excellent flame retardancy, with limited oxygen index values of 37–50. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and crystal structure of 10a‐oxo‐1‐phenylimino‐ 10‐propyl‐3,4,10,10a‐tetrahydro‐1H‐ 2‐thia‐4a,10‐diaza‐10aλ5‐ phospha‐phenanthren‐9‐one

The title novel fused tricyclic phosphoroheterocycle, C₁₉H₂₀N₃O₂PS, was synthesized in an excellent yield of 88.5% via the reac‐ tion of 1‐(2‐bromoethyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐propyl‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphorin‐4(1H)‐one 2‐oxide with phenyl isothiocyanate, which contains the proximate imino and phosphoryl groups in the fused heterocycle. The crystallographic data analysis reveals that the title compound crystallizes into triclinic space group P with unit cell parameters: a = 9.159(3) Å, b = 10.463(4) Å, c = 10.698(4) Å, α = 88.090(6)°, β = 86.921(6)°, γ = 70.528(6)°, V = 965.0(6) ų for Z = 2 and there is a fused three‐ring in the molecule. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.0424 for 2451 observed reflections with I >2 σ(I). The proximate imino and phosphoryl groups are not coplanar because both are jointly located in the fused heterocycle, thus having ring tension and this then destroys the conjugation between the CN and the PO moieties. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Supramolecular networks of 10‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one and 10‐(2‐chloroethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one

Both 10‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one, C₁₅H₁₃NO₂, and 10‐(2‐chloroethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one, C₁₅H₁₂ClNO, have monoclinic (P2₁/c) symmetry and supramolecular three‐dimensional networks. But the differences in the intermolecular interactions displayed by the hydroxy group and the chlorine substituent lead to stronger intermolecular π‐stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding, and hence a significantly higher melting point for the former.     

10‐Thia‐mesobilirubin‐xiiiα

The 10‐thia analog of mesobilirubin‐XIIIα, with the central C(10) CH₂ group replaced by sulfur ( 1a ) was synthesized by condensation of neoxanthobilirubic acid ( 3 ) with sulfur dichloride. Thia‐rubin 1a is a brilliant yellow solid, forming bright yellow solutions with uv‐visible absorption maximum from 425–440 nm.     

Synthesis of 10‐Aryl‐10H‐naphtho[1,8a,8‐fg]indazol‐7‐ones

3‐Hydroxy‐2‐[1‐(arylhydrazono)ethyl]‐1H‐phenalen‐1‐ones 3 , obtained from 2‐acetyl‐3‐hydroxy‐1H‐phenalen‐1‐one ( 1 ) and arylhydrazines 2 , cyclize under acidic conditions to 8‐methyl‐10‐aryl‐10H‐naphtho‐[1,8a,8‐fg]indazol‐7‐ones 4 . Indazoles 4 are also obtained from 2‐acetyl‐3‐hydroxy‐1H‐phenalen‐1‐one ( 1 ) and arylhydrazines 2 in a one‐pot reaction. 2‐Acetyl‐3‐azido‐1H‐phenalen‐1‐one ( 6 ) does not give 8‐methyl‐9‐arylamino‐9H‐naphtho[1,8a,8‐fg]indazol‐7‐ones via azide decomposition but gives again by nucleophilic replacement of the azide moiety in 6 the indazole 4 .     

9‐Cyano‐10‐methylacridinium hydrogen dinitrate

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁N₂⁺·HN₂O₆^?, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four mol­ecules in the unit cell. The planar 9‐cyano‐10‐methyl­acridinium cations lie on crystallographic twofold axes and are arranged in layers, almost perpendicular to the ac plane, in such a way that neighbouring mol­ecules are positioned in a `head‐to‐tail' manner. These cations and the hydrogen dinitrate anions are linked through C—H?O interactions involving four of the six O atoms of the anion and the H atoms attached to the C atoms of the acridine moiety in ring positions 2 and 4. The H atom of the hydrogen dinitrate anion appears to be located on the centre of inversion relating two of the four O atoms engaged in the above‐mentioned C—H?O interactions. In this way, columns of either anions or cations running along the c axis are held in place by the network of C—H?O interactions, forming a relatively compact crystal lattice.     

3,6‐Bis(dimethylamino)‐10‐(10‐iododecyl)acridinium iodide

In the title compound, C₂₇H₃₉IN₃⁺·I^?, the acridinium system shows the usual approximate mirror symmetry about the central C?N line, and the corresponding bond lengths and angles in the two halves agree within experimental error. The alkyl chain at the ring N atom is initially perpendicular to the ring plane and then bends sharply at the fourth C atom. Pairs of centrosymmetrically related cations overlap two of their rings and the di­methyl­amino groups are also partly involved in the overlap. Each I^? ion is involved in short‐range interactions with two cations. These interactions give rise to a 14‐membered cyclic structure, which involves pairs of cations and anions across an inversion centre.     

Synthesis of Some New 2‐Oxo‐N‐[(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)alkyl] Derivatives of Azetidine‐1‐carboxamides

The synthesis of a new series of 4‐aryl‐3‐chloro‐2‐oxo‐N‐[3‐(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]azetidine‐1‐carboxamides, 4a – 4m , is described. Phenothiazine on reaction with Cl(CH₂)₃Br at room temperature gave 10‐(3‐chloropropyl)‐10H‐phenothiazine ( 1 ), and the latter reacted with urea to yield 1‐[3‐(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]urea ( 2 ). Further reaction of 2 with several substituted aromatic aldehydes led to N‐(arylmethylidene)‐N′‐[3‐(phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]ureas 3a – 3m , which, on treatment with ClCH₂COCl in the presence of Et₃N, furnished the desired racemic trans‐2‐oxoazetidin‐1‐carboxamide derivatives 4a – 4m . The structures of all new compounds were confirmed by IR, and ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectrometry, and chemical methods.     

10 Jahre Deutsche Einheit ‐10 Jahre Strukturwandel

In den neuen Bundesländern einschließlich Berlin ist die chemische Industrie heute überwiegend durch kleine and mittelständische Unternehmen geprägt. Trotz Milliardeninvestitionen, steigender Umsätze und Arbeitsplatzabbau besteht noch immer eine deutliche Produktivitätslücke.     

10‐Methyl‐ and 9,10‐dimethyl­acridinium methyl sulfate

The title compounds, C₁₄H₁₂N⁺·CH₃O₄S^?, (I), and C₁₅H₁₄N⁺·CH₃O₄S^?, (II), respectively, crystallize with the planar 10‐methylacridinium or 9,10‐di­methyl­acridinium cations arranged in layers, parallel to the twofold axis in (I) and perpendicular to the 2₁ axis in (II). Adjacent cations in both compounds are packed in a `head‐to‐tail' manner. The methyl sulfate anion only exhibits planar symmetry in (II). The cations and anions are linked through C—H?O interactions involving three O atoms of the anion, six acridine H atoms and the CH₃ group on the N atom in (I), and the four O atoms of the anion, three acridine H atoms and the carbon‐bound CH₃ group in (II). The methyl sulfate anions are oriented differently in the two compounds relative to the cations, being nearly perpendicular in (I) but parallel in (II). Electrostatic interaction between the ions and the network of C—H?O interactions leads to relatively compact crystal lattices in both structures.     

Packing considerations of 10‐oxa‐9‐boraphenanthrene derivatives

The crystal structures of three products of the reaction of 2‐phenylphenol and BCl₃ have been determined. The structures show intriguing packing patterns and an interesting case of pseudosymmetry. In addition, one of the two polymorphs has a primitive monoclinic crystal system, but it is twinned and emulates an orthorhombic C‐centred structure. Tris(biphenyl‐2‐yl) borate, C₃₆H₂₇BO₃, ( III ), crystallizes with only one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the planes of the aromatic rings in the biphenyl moieties are 50.47 (13), 44.95 (13) and 42.60 (13)°. The boron centre is in a trigonal planar coordination with two of the biphenyl residues on one side of the BO₃ plane and the remaining biphenyl residue on the other side. One polymorph of 10‐oxa‐9‐boraphenanthren‐9‐ol, C₁₂H₉BO₂, ( V a ), crystallizes with two almost identical molecules (r.m.s. deviation of all non‐H atoms = 0.039 Å) in the asymmetric unit. All non‐H atoms lie in a common plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å for both molecules in the asymmetric unit). The two molecules in the asymmetric unit are connected into dimers via O—H...O hydrogen bonds. A second polymorph of 10‐oxa‐9‐boraphenanthren‐9‐ol, ( V b ), crystallizes as a pseudo‐merohedral twin with two almost identical molecules (r.m.s. deviation of all non‐H atoms = 0.035 Å) in the asymmetric unit. All non‐H atoms lie in a common plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å for molecule 1 and 0.014 Å for molecule A). Each of the two molecules in the asymmetric unit is connected into a centrosymmetric dimer via O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The main difference between the two polymorphic structures is that in ( V a ) the two molecules in the asymmetric unit are hydrogen bonded to each other, whereas in ( V b ), each molecule in the asymmetric unit forms a hydrogen‐bonded dimer with its centrosymmetric equivalent. 9‐[(Biphenyl‐2‐yl)oxy]‐10‐oxa‐9‐boraphenanthrene, C₂₄H₁₇BO₂, ( VI ), crystallizes with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The main differences between them are the dihedral angles between the ring planes. Apart from the biphenyl moiety, all non‐H atoms lie in a common plane (r.m.s. deviations = 0.026, 0.0231, 0.019 and 0.033 Å for molecules 1, A, B and C, respectively). This structure shows pseudosymmetry; molecules 1 and A, as well as molecules B and C, are related by a pseudo‐translation of about in the direction of the b axis. Molecules 1 and B, as well as molecules A and C, are related by a pseudo‐inversion centre at ,,. Neither between molecules 1 and C nor between molecules A and B can pseudosymmetry be found.     

Synthesis of 2,9‐diacyl‐1, 10‐phenanthrolines

A convenient high yield synthetic route leading to 2,9‐diacyl‐1,10‐phenanthrolines has been developed. The reaction of bis‐amide 1 with 2‐pyridyllithium, 6‐bromo‐2‐pyridyllithium or 2‐thienyllithium led to the diacyl compounds 5,6 and 7 , respectively. Attempts to prepare 8 by intramolecular coupling of 6 or by treatment of 1 with dilithio analogue 9b were unsuccessful. Treatment of 1 with butyllithium or aryllithium reagents led to 10a, 10b and 10c.     

8‐tert‐Butyl‐7‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐10‐phenyl‐5,6‐dihydro‐10H‐benzo[h]pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline

The title compound, C₃₀H₂₆ClN₃, crystallizes with Z′ = 3 in the P space group. The three independent molecules have very similar, although not identical, conformations, with almost perfect screw‐boat forms adopted by the non‐aromatic carbocyclic rings. Four independent C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric six‐component aggregates.     

Synthesis of 10‐amino‐9‐aryl‐2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10‐octahydroacridine‐1,8‐dione derivatives

A series of novel 10‐amino‐9‐aryl‐2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10‐octahydroacridine‐1,8‐dione derivatives 4 were synthesized by hydrazine or phenylhydrazine and 9‐aryl‐1,8‐dioxo‐2,3,4,5,6,7,9‐heptahydroxanthene derivatives 3 , which were prepared by 5‐substituted‐1,3‐cyclohexanedione 1 and aromatic aldehydes 2 in the presence of concentrated H₂SO₄ as a catalyst in water. The structures of all compounds were characterized by IR, MS, ¹H‐NMR, and elemental analysis, and the title compounds possess good fluorescence properties. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012).     

Base‐Mediated N‐Arylation for the Synthesis of 9H‐Pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indol‐9‐ones and 10H‐Indolo[1,2‐a]indol‐10‐ones

Treatment of 2‐bromoaryl pyrrole/indol‐2‐yl ketones with cesium carbonate in DMF resulted in the formation of 9H‐pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indol‐9‐ones and 10H‐indolo[1,2‐a]indol‐10‐ones in moderate to excellent isolated yields.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded dimers of 1,8,10‐trihydroxy‐10‐(prop‐2‐enyl)­anthracen‐9(10H)‐one: S(6), R(10) and R(14) motifs

The central ring of the anthrone system in the title compound, C₁₇H₁₄O₄, has a shallow envelope conformation, and each of the two outer rings is inclined at an angle of 17.41 (3)°. In the solid state, the mol­ecules exist as centrosymmetrically related O—H⃛O hydrogen‐bonded dimers. Two intramolecular O—H⃛O hydrogen bonds, involving the central carbonyl O atom and having a graph‐set motif of S(6), are observed. These intramolecular interactions lead co‐operatively to an O—H⃛O⃛H—O pattern that has a binary graph‐set motif of (10).

A facile and eco‐friendly approach for synthesizing 9‐allyl‐10‐hydroxycamptothecin ( 2 ), a key intermediate for the preparation of camptothecin analogs, is described. The product was obtained in good yield and high purity (≥99% HPLC) under mild Suzuki reaction condition.     

Synthesis of 10‐Aryl‐ and 10‐(Arylmethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐ones via the Reaction of (2‐Fluorophenyl)(2‐halophenyl)methanones with Benzenamines and Arylmethanamines

The reaction of 1‐fluoro‐2‐lithiobenzenes, generated from 1‐bromo‐2‐fluorobenzenes 1 and BuLi, with 2‐halobenzaldehydes and subsequent oxidation of the resulting alcohols 2 afforded (2‐fluorophenyl)(2‐halophenyl)methanones 3 , which, on treatment with benzenamines or arylmethanamines, followed by NaH, gave rise efficiently to 10‐aryl‐ or 10‐(arylmethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐ones ( 5 or 7 ), respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of the new ambidentate O‐cholesteryl‐O‐phenyl phosphorothioate ligand and its organoarsenic derivatives of phenoxarsin‐10‐yl and phenothiarsin‐10‐yl phosphorothioate

A new anionic phosphorothioate ligand that incorporates the bioactive cholesteryl group was obtained ( 2 ), Na(RR′P(S)O; R, O‐phenyl; R′, O‐cholesteryl) from the phenylphosphoramidate ( 1 ) and NaH in dioxane. In order to test the coordination ability of 2, two organoarsenic derivatives were prepared, O(C₆H₄)₂AsS(O)PRR′ ( 3 ) and S(C₆H₄)₂AsS(O)PRR′ ( 4 ) by reacting 2 with 10‐chlorophenoxarsine or 10‐chlorophenothiarsine. Compounds 2, 3 , and 4 were characterized by elemental microanalysis, IR, multi‐element NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P), and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic data suggest that the ligand is bonded to the arsenic only through the sulfur donor atom in both organoarsenic derivatives. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
