Heat-resistant aromatic S-triazine-containing ring-chain polymers based on bis(ether nitrile)s: Synthesis and properties

A novel series of aromatic s-triazine-containing ring-chain polymers, which typically require high pressures to produce, were prepared by the bulk polymerization of low-melting bis(ether nitrile)s (BENs) with or without the presence of terephthalonitrile (TPH) in the catalysis of ZnCl₂ under normal pressure. Four kinds of BENs were readily synthesized by the nucleophilic displacement reaction of 4-chlorobenzonitrile with commercially available aromatic bisphenols or bisphenol-like monomers. Chemical structure of the obtained BENs and their polymers was characterized by FT-IR, WAXD and elemental analysis. Conversion studies indicate that cyano concentration, mobility and reactivity are all important factors for the polymerization, while among of them the cyano reactivity plays a dominant role. The addition of a small mount of TPH is found to be effective in promoting s-triazine forming reaction of the BENs. The synthesized polymers are insoluble, and exhibit good chemical-resistant property towards strong acids and bases together with good hydrolysis-resistant property. No detectable endothermic inflection for glass transitions is observed in the DSC traces of all polymers up to 450 °C, and the polymers exhibit excellent thermal stability with decomposition temperatures for 5% mass-loss ranging from 493-540 °C. All these attracting properties make the s-triazine-containing ring-chain polymers good candidates as matrixes for high performance polymeric materials.

Cyano and Analogous Groups in Plasma Polymers from Nitrogen Monomers

Abstract

Some nitrogen-containing monomers with different unsaturation numbers were polymerized in glow discharges, and the formation of cyano and analogous groups was investigated with infrared spectroscopy. In these monomers, even if they do not necessarily contain cyano groups as acrylonitrile or propionitrile, comparatively stronger peaks for these groups rearranged from the carbon-nitrogen bondings were observed. The reason for the formation of the groups is considered via kinetics, and it is suggested that the carbon-nitrogen single and/or double bonds which are feasibly fragmented in plasma are stabilized by forming cyano groups.     

Controlling the Self‐Metalation Rate of Tetraphenylporphyrins on Cu(111) via Cyano Functionalization

The reaction rate of the self‐metalation of free‐base tetraphenylporphyrins (TPPs) on Cu(111) increases with the number of cyano groups (n=0, 1, 2, 4) attached at the para positions of the phenyl rings. The findings are based on isothermal scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements. At room temperature, all investigated free‐base TPP derivatives adsorb as individual molecules and are aligned with respect to densely packed Cu substrate rows. Annealing at 400 K leads to the formation of linear dimers and/or multimers via CN‐Cu‐CN bonds, accompanied by self‐metalation of the free‐base porphyrins following a first‐order rate equation. When comparing the non‐cyano‐functionalized and the tetracyano‐functionalized molecules, we find a decrease of the reaction rate by a factor of more than 20, corresponding to an increase of the activation energy from 1.48 to 1.59 eV. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations give insights into the influence of the peripheral electron‐withdrawing cyano groups and explain the experimentally observed effects.     

Cyano substituted triphenylene-based discotic mesogens

Cyano groups have been introduced into alkoxytriphenylene-based mesogens by bromination followed by treatment with copper(I) cyanide. The introduction of cyano substitutents enhances the mesophases ranges.     

Hydrogen bond assisted activation of a dinitrile towards nucleophilic attack

The possibility of tunable regioselective activation of a dinitrile towards nucleophilic attack was demonstrated. For that, a sulfo-arylhydrazone unit was introduced into malononitrile and the thus formed intramolecular hydrogen bond systems assisted specific nucleophilic attacks to the cyano moieties leading to a variety of amidines, carboxamides and iminoesters depending on the nucleophiles and conditions used.     

Synthesis of some quinazolines derived from 6,8-dibromo2-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4h-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one as antimicrobial agents

The reactivity of 6,8-dibromo-2-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one towards the action of electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents led to the direct formation of heterobicyclic nitrogen compounds. The antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds was investigated.     

Intramolecular nucleophilic addition of an organorhodium(I) to a nitrile

Nucleophilic addition of an organorhodium(I) to a cyano group has been observed for the first time in the rhodium-catalysed reaction of cyano-substituted alkynes with arylboronic acids. The higher reactivity of a cyano group relative to an alkoxycarbonyl group toward an organorhodium(I) species is demonstrated by an intramolecular example.     

Sonochemical Reaction of Bifunctional Molecules on Silicon (111) Hydride Surface

While the sonochemical grafting of molecules on silicon hydride surface to form stable Si–C bond via hydrosilylation has been previously described, the susceptibility towards nucleophilic functional groups during the sonochemical reaction process remains unclear. In this work, a competitive study between a well-established thermal reaction and sonochemical reaction of nucleophilic molecules (cyclopropylamine and 3-Butyn-1-ol) was performed on p-type silicon hydride (111) surfaces. The nature of surface grafting from these reactions was examined through contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cyclopropylamine, being a sensitive radical clock, did not experience any ring-opening events. This suggested that either the Si–H may not have undergone homolysis as reported previously under sonochemical reaction or that the interaction to the surface hydride via a lone-pair electron coordination bond was reversible during the process. On the other hand, silicon back-bond breakage and subsequent surface roughening were observed for 3-Butyn-1-ol at high-temperature grafting (≈150 °C). Interestingly, the sonochemical reaction did not produce appreciable topographical changes to surfaces at the nano scale and the further XPS analysis may suggest Si–C formation. This indicated that while a sonochemical reaction may be indifferent towards nucleophilic groups, the surface was more reactive towards unsaturated carbons. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first attempt at elucidating the underlying reactivity mechanisms of nucleophilic groups and unsaturated carbon bonds during sonochemical reaction of silicon hydride surfaces.

Chemical transformations of trisubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and their 1-ribosides

A number of 3,4,6-trisubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and their 1-ribosides were synthesized from 3-cyano-4,6-dimethylmercaptopyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidine. The cyano group was converted to thiocarbamoyl, imido ester, carboxamidoximno, carboxamidrazono, carboxy, and amidino groups. The 4-methylmercapto group was replaced by mercapto, methoxy, amino, and hydrazino groups. The reactivities of methylmercapto and 3-cyano groups in substituted pyrazolo [3,4-d] pyrimidines and the corresponding nucleosides with respect to nucleophilic agents were compared. The introduction of a ribose residue in the 1 position facilitates nucleophilic addition to the 3-cyano group and replacement of the 4-methylmercapto group. High resistance of the 6-methylmercapto group to the action of nucleophilic agents and higher reactivity of the cyano groups as compared with methylmercapto groups were observed.

5‐(Cyano)dibenzothiophenium Triflate: A Sulfur‐Based Reagent for Electrophilic Cyanation and Cyanocyclizations

The synthesis of 5‐(cyano)dibenzothiophenium triflate 9 , prepared by activation of dibenzo[b,d]thiophene‐5‐oxide with Tf₂O and subsequent reaction with TMSCN is reported, and its reactivity as electrophilic cyanation reagent evaluated. The scalable preparation, easy handling and broad substrate scope of the electrophilic cyanation promoted by 9 , which includes amines, thiols, silyl enol ethers, alkenes, electron rich (hetero)arenes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, illustrate the synthetic potential of this reagent. Importantly, Lewis acid activation of the reagent is not required for the transfer process. We additionally report herein biomimetic cyanocyclization cascade reactions, which are not promoted by typical electrophilic cyanation reagents, demonstrating the superior ability of 9 to trigger challenging transformations.

On the Ambiphilic Reactivity of Geometrically Constrained Phosphorus(III) and Arsenic(III) Compounds: Insights into Their Interaction with Ionic Substrates

The ambiphilic nature of geometrically constrained Group 15 complexes bearing the N,N‐bis(3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐phenolate)amide pincer ligand (ONO^3?) is explored. Despite their differing reactivity towards nucleophilic substrates with polarised element–hydrogen bonds (e.g., NH₃), both the phosphorus(III), P(ONO) ( 1 a ), and arsenic(III), As(ONO) ( 1 b ), compounds exhibit similar reactivity towards charged nucleophiles and electrophiles. Reactions of 1 a and 1 b with KOtBu or KNPh₂ afford anionic complexes in which the nucleophilic anion associates with the pnictogen centre ([(tBuO)Pn(ONO)]^? (Pn=P ( 2 a ), As ( 2 b )) and [(Ph₂N)Pn(ONO)]^? (Pn=P ( 3 a ), As ( 3 b )). Compound 2 a can subsequently be reacted with a proton source or benzylbromide to afford the phosphorus(V) compounds (tBuO)HP(ONO) ( 4 a ) and (tBuO)BzP(ONO) ( 5 a ), respectively, whereas analogous arsenic(V) compounds are inaccessible. Electrophilic substrates, such as HOTf and MeOTf, preferentially associate with the nitrogen atom of the ligand backbone of both 1 a and 1 b , giving rise to cationic species that can be rationalised as either ammonium salts or as amine‐stabilised phosphenium or arsenium complexes ([Pn{ON(H)O}]⁺ (Pn=P ( 6 a ), As ( 6 b )) and [Pn{ON(Me)O}]⁺ (Pn=P ( 7 a ), As ( 7 b )). Reaction of 1 a with an acid bearing a nucleophilic counteranion (such as HCl) gives rise to a phosphorus(V) compound HPCl(ONO) ( 8 a ), whereas the analogous reaction with 1 b results in the addition of HCl across one of the As?O bonds to afford ClAs{(H)ONO} ( 8 b ). Functionalisation at both the pnictogen centre and the ligand backbone is also possible by reaction of 7 a / 7 b with KOtBu, which affords the neutral species (tBuO)Pn{ON(Me)O} (Pn=P ( 9 a ), As ( 9 b )). The ambiphilic reactivity of these geometrically constrained complexes allows some insight into the mechanism of reactivity of 1 a towards small molecules, such as ammonia and water.     

Reactivity of cis dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) (cisplatin) toward selected nucleophiles

Results are reported for the reaction of cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) (“cisplatin”) with various nucleophiles in aqueous solution at constant ionic strength (μ = 0.5) and 30°C. The reactivity is described in terms of linear free energy relationships between the logarithm of the second order rate constants and two established indices of nucleophilicity, i.e. electrode potentials, E° and nucleophilic reactivity constants, n_Pt^o (based on reactivity of trans-[Pt(PY)₂Cl₂] in methanol). New nucleophilic reactivity constants, (n_Pt^o)′are reported based on “cisplatin” reactivity in water.

Reactions of some ortho and para halogenated aromatic nitriles with ethylenediamine: selective synthesis of imidazolines

The reaction of ethylenediamine (EDA) with ortho and/or para halogenated benzonitriles did not lead to the imidazolines expected: a competitive aromatic nucleophilic substitution (S_NAr) was observed instead. The selective synthesis of these imidazolines was performed by nucleophilic addition of EDA to thiobenzamide derivatives. The difference in reactivity between the nitrile and thioamide derivatives was estimated by a frontier orbital approach at the RHF/6-31G** level which predicted a greater reactivity of substituted thiobenzamides towards the nucleophilic addition of EDA.
