Cyanohydrin phosphates 2a–2c were prepared in high yield from ketones (or aldehyde), diethyl phosphorochloridate, and sodium cyanide by using acetonitrile as solvent. GC analysis proved that the two reactions of cyanohydrin sodium with diethyl phosphorochloridate and with diethyl phosphorocyanidate resulted in the formation of cyanohydrin phosphates.     

Liquid-liquid equilibria of (water + butyric acid + diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate) ternary systems

Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of the solubility (binodal) curves and tie-line end compositions were examined for mixtures of {(water (1) + butyric acid (2) + diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate (3)} at 298.2 K and 101.3 ± 0.7 kPa. The relative mutual solubility of butyric acid is higher in the diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate layers than water layers. The consistency of the experimental tie-lines was determined through the Othmer-Tobias correlation equation. The LLE data were correlated with NRTL model, indicating the reliability of the NRTL equations for these ternary systems. The best results were achieved with the NRTL equation, using non-randomness parameter (α = 0.3) for the correlation. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were measured to evaluate the extracting capability of the solvents.

Reactions of 1,2-ethanedithiol and 2-mercaptoethanol with unsaturated derivatives of four-coordinate phosphorus acids

The reaction of 1,2-ethanedithiol with diethyl vinylphosphonate in the presence of EtONa occurs as the addition of the sulfhydryl group to the β-carbon atom of the substrate to give 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 adducts. The nucleophilic addition of 2-mercaptoethanol at the β position of the multiple bond of diethyl vinyl-, diethyl allenyl-, and diethyl prop-1-ynylphosphonates involves only the sulfhydryl group.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Chromatographic determination of phthalic acid esters as an indicator of adulterated cognacs and cognac spirits

Based on the study performed, a conclusion was drawn that a system of procedures should be introduced into the practice of arbitration laboratories in order to identify the authenticity of cognacs and cognac spirits. These procedures were exemplified in the identification of diethyl phthalate in cognacs. Factors responsible for the falsely positive detection of diethyl phthalate in cognacs and cognac spirits were revealed. A substance that has a retention time equal to that of diethyl phthalate was identified as monoethyl succinate. As an example, recommendations were given for revealing adulterated cognac samples upon the detection of phthalic acid esters in them (including diethyl phthalate, which is a marker of denaturation). Sources of the contamination of test samples with diethyl phthalate were identified; an algorithm was developed for distinguishing between diethyl phthalate as an impurity component and diethyl phthalate added to an alcohol as a denaturation marker.

Dialkyl phosphates determination by gas chromatography: Evaluation of a microwave‐assisted derivatization†

Dialkyl phosphates are organophosphate insecticide metabolites and their urinary analysis is useful for assessing human exposure to these compounds. This study presents a sample preparation method with microwave‐assisted derivatization for two dialkyl phosphates to make the process faster before gas chromatographic analysis. The optimized conditions for derivatization procedure were: 250 μL of 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorobenzyl bromide 3% in acetonitrile for derivative; microwave for 5 min with intensity of 160 W. The electron ionization mass spectrometric analysis was performed using a gas chromatography with mass spectrometry QP‐2010 from the Shimadzu^® equipped with RTx^®‐5MS capillary column. Ions were monitored at selected‐ion monitoring mode at m/z 350 for diethyl thiophosphate and m/z 366 for diethyl dithiophosphate. The developed method was linear for both metabolites. The intra‐assay precision was the values ranged between 1.1 and 9.1%, for diethyl thiophosphate, and between 4.06 and 6.9%, for diethyl dithiophosphate. The interassay precision showed relative standard deviation between 10.3 and 15.1%, for diethyl thiophosphate and between 4.9 and 11.9%, for diethyl dithiophosphate. The results obtained suggests that derivatization assisted by microwave, before gas chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis, can be applied to monitoring of exposure to organophosphates once is fast, sensible, and precise method to determinate dialkyl phosphates.     

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of nucleophiles with diacetates of allylic 1,1-diols

The reactions of allylic 1,1-diol diacetates (I) with carbanions under the catalysis of Pd(PPh₃)₄ were studied. Sodium diethyl malonate reacted with I to form an abnormal product resulting from the attack of the diethyl malonate carbanion on the carbonyl carbon of the acetoxy group, while sodium diethyl acetylmalonate gave the normal reaction products with high regioselectivity. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

A simple and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 1-aminophosphonates from aromatic aldehydes

A simple, efficient, possible industrial process has been developed for the synthesis of 1-aminophosphonic acids from simple starting materials. As described below, treatment of aromatic aldehydes with ammonia and reaction with diethyl phosphite gives diethyl N-(arylmethylene)-1-aminoaryl methylphosphonates, which can be easily hydrolyzed to diethyl 1-aminoarylmethylphosphonates. This method is easy, rapid, and good yielding for the synthesis of 1-aminoalkylphosphonates from simple starting materials.     

Surface tension of diethyl carbonate, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and diethyl adipate

The surface tension was investigated with a differential capillary rise method in the temperature range from 273 to 373 K for diethyl carbonate, 278 to 373 K for 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and 293 to 373 K for diethyl adipate, respectively. The uncertainties of the temperature and surface tension were estimated to be within ±10 mK and ±0.2 mN m⁻¹, respectively. A surface tension correlation was developed as a function of temperature with the experimental data, and the average absolute deviations were 0.04, 0.07 and 0.09 mN m⁻¹ for diethyl carbonate, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and diethyl adipate, respectively.     

Radiation copolymerization of vinyl acetate with the diethyl esters of maleic and fumaric acids

The radiation-induced copolymerization of vinyl acetate with diethyl maleate and with diethyl fumarate was investigated in the temperature range from ?40 to 90°C over a wide range of comonomer compositions. Both the rates of copolymerization and the molecular weights of the resulting copolymers were found to depend strongly on the initial comonomer compositions. The apparent activation energy was found to change at 13°C with an increase in temperature from a value of 1.76 kcal/mole to a value of 4.31 kcal/mole in the copolymerization with diethyl maleate, while in the case of the copolymerization with diethyl fumarate the apparent activation energy changed at 21°C from a value of 1.76 kcal/mole to a value of 5.98 kcal/mole. Scavenger studies indicate that a free-radical mechanism prevails over the entire temperature range investigated in the case of both copolymerizations.     

Regioselective synthesis of pyrrolin-3-ones and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]-oxazines from N-vinylic amidines

Achiral and optically active N-vinylic amidines are obtained by simple addition of amidines to acetylenic esters. Thermal intramolecular cyclization of these substrates containing a carboxylate group in position 3 gives pyrrolin-3-ones. The enaminone character of these compounds towards propargyl bromide, diethyl azodicarboxylate, diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, ethyl propiolate and phenyl isocyanate is studied and functionalized pyrrolin-3-one derivatives are obtained. The reaction of the pyrrolinones prepared with diethyl ketomalonate leads to new 1,3-oxazine derivatives.

Oxidation of these with a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids results in the formation of their respective 6,13-quinones, also obtained directly from 2-aminopyridines and diethyl 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone-3,6-dicarboxylate. The chromophore of the title compounds is compared with that of quinacridones.
