Investigation of energetic materials prepared by reactions of diamines with picryl chloride

Five compounds containing picryl group(s) were synthesized from reactions of hydrazine, 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane and 1,7-diaminoheptane with picryl chloride under hydrothermal conditions in methanol. Hydrazine reaction yielded N-2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydrazine which has a single picryl group, whereas the other reactants formed symmetric products with both amine groups connected to picryl groups. These compounds are N,N′-di-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-1,2-diaminoethane, bis-N,N′-di-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-1,3-diaminopropane, bis-N,N′-di-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-1,4-diaminobutane and bis-N,N′-di-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-1,7-diaminoheptane. Molecular structures of two of these compounds, N-2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydrazine and bis-N,N′-di-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-1,3-diaminopropane, were revealed by XRD methods. All compounds were investigated by TG and DSC methods. The thermal behaviour of N-2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydrazine was explosive, undergoing a strong explosion in a very short temperature interval, 180–185 °C. In cases of the other compounds, it was found out that the carbon chain between two picryl groups reduced the explosion enthalpy. In addition, the theoretical formation enthalpy of N-2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydrazine was calculated by running CBS-4 M energy calculations under Gaussian 09 software package. From the calculated value, reaction enthalpy values for the possible explosion pathways were investigated in accordance with the experiment. The path with reaction enthalpy closest to the experimental value was proposed as the explosion mechanism.     

Picosecond spectroscopy of phenylnaphthylethylenes

S_n←S₁ transitions in the trans isomers of 1-phenyl-2-(1-naphthyl)ethylene (Ph-1N) and 1-phenyl-2-(2-naphthyl)ethylene (Ph-2N) peaked at 510 nm are assigned by picosecond absorption spectroscope. The S₁ state lifetimes of both conformers of Ph-2N are shown to depend upon solvent viscosity, demonstrating the singlet mechanism of trans—cis photoisomerization and the stilbene-like behavior of Ph-2N.

The preparation and resolution of 2-(2-pyridyl)- and 2-(2-pyrazinyl)-Quinazolinap and their application in palladium-catalysed allylic substitution

The preparation and resolution of two new axially chiral quinazoline-containing phosphinamine ligands, 2-(2-pyridyl)-Quinazolinap and 2-(2-pyrazinyl)-Quinazolinap, is described. The ligands were synthesised in good yield over eight steps and included two Pd-catalysed reactions, a Suzuki coupling to form the biaryl linkage and the introduction of the diphenylphosphino group, as the key transformations. The racemic ligands were resolved via the fractional crystallisation of diastereomeric palladacycles derived from (+)-di-μ-chlorobis{(R)-dimethyl[1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]aminato-C₂,N}dipalladium (II) X-ray crystal structures of the (S,R)-2-pyridyl- and (S,R)-2-pyrazinyl-palladacycles are included. Displacement of the resolving agent by reaction with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane gave enantiopure 2-(2-pyridyl)-Quinazolinap and 2-(2-pyrazinyl)-Quinazolinap, new atropisomeric phosphinamine ligands for asymmetric catalysis. These ligands were applied in the palladium-catalysed allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate resulting in moderate conversions and enantioselectivities of up to 81%.     

Systematic evaluation of textural properties, activation temperature and gas uptake of Cu2(pzdc)2L [L = dipyridyl-based ligands] porous coordination pillared-layer networks

In situ high temperature X-ray diffraction, nitrogen porosimetry and gas adsorption at room temperature were used to elucidate the effect of the degassing or activation temperature on the long-range and micropore textural properties of a series of coordination polymers with pillared-layer structures. Ramp-and-soak thermal gravimetric analysis performed at selected activation temperatures were used to verify the thermal stability of a CPL-n series [Cu(2)(pzdc)(2)L; pzdc = pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylate; L = 4,4-azopyridine (apy) for CPL-4, 1,2-di-(4-pyridil)-ethylene (bpe) for CPL-5, N-(4-pyridyl)-isonicotinamide (pia) for CPL-6, and 1,2-di-(4-pyridyl)-glycol (dpyg) for CPL-7]. Although the activation temperatures were far below the decomposition point of the complexes, these resulted in significant and unique changes in micropore surface area and volume, even for CPL-4, -5 and -6, which contained pillar ligands with similar dimensions and similar structural long-range order. For the case of CPL-7, however, the framework appeared to be non-porous at any given activation temperature. Pure component equilibrium adsorption data gathered for CO(2), CH(4), and N(2) were used to elucidate the CPL-n materials potential for storage and separations at room temperature. All of the materials exhibited considerable selectivity toward CO(2), particularly at moderate pressures. Meanwhile, CO(2) isosteric heats of adsorption indicated that the pore functionalities arising from the pillar ligands provided similar interactions with the adsorbate in the cases of CPL-4 and -5. For CPL-6, the presence of the carbonyl (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) group appeared to enhance interactions with CO(2) at low loadings.     

(1)H-NMR study of ternary platinum(II) complexes with N-(1-Naphtyl)methyl-1,2-ethanediamine or N-(9-anthrylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine and bipyridine or phenanthroline and restricted single bond rotation due to aromatic-aromatic ring interaction

(1)H-NMR spectra of square-planar complexes with the formula [Pt(L(1))(L(2))]X(2) where L(1) is 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and L(2) is N-(1-naphthyl)methyl-1,2-ethanediamine (Npen) or N-(9-anthryl)methyl-1,2-ethanediamine (Aten) indicate that the N-naphthylmethyl and N-anthrylmethyl groups are forced to adopt a pseudo axial disposition due to intramolecular repulsion of hydrogen atoms of the aromatic diimines. The aromatic-aromatic interactions in the N-arylmethyl-1,2-ethanediamine complexes and aromatic diimines caused them to undergo intramolecular stacking. (1)H-NMR spectra of these complexes showed a significant concentration and temperature dependence. The monomer-dimer equilibrium was estimated, based on the concentration dependency. Restricted single bond rotation was estimated from temperature dependency data. The rotation of the anthracene ring of the [Pt(bpy)(Aten)](2+) complex showed an activation energy of ca. 38 kJ mol(-1), which is in good agreement with a mechanism involving successive rotations about single bonds with restriction by intramolecular aromatic-aromatic ring interactions.

Mass spectral fragmentation pattern of 2,2′-Bipyridyls. Part X. trans-1,2-Di-(2-pyridyl)ethylene

The base peak in the mass spectrum of trans-1,2-di-(2-pyridyl)ethylene is due to the M-1 ion. A major fragmentation route involves loss of HCN from the M-1 ion. Another important pathway involves rupture of one of the bonds linking a pyridine ring with the central CH?CH group.

Novel approach to aminocarboranes by mild amidation of selected iodo-carboranes

A mild protocol for the palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amidation of icosahedral carboranes is described. Employing 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2'-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (1) as a ligand and K(3)PO(4) as a base, benzamide, trifluoroacetamide, acetamide, and formamide were coupled to a series of mono- and di-iodo carboranes furnishing the respective carborane derivatives in good to excellent yields. Subsequent base-mediated saponification of the trifluoroacetamide derivatives was shown to provide the free aminocarboranes. The structures of N-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9-yl)benzamide (8a), N-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9-yl)trifluoroacetamide (8b), N-(1,12-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-2-yl)benzamide (10a), N-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9-yl)benzamide (12a), N-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9-yl)acetamide (12c), N-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9-yl)formamide (12d), N-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-3-yl)benzamide (13a), N,N'-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9,10-diyl)dibenzamide (15a), and N,N'-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-9,10-diyl)bis(trifluoroacetamide) (15b) have been established through X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies.

n-Butyl by-products in the syntheses of 2-(1- and 2-naphthyl)pyridines via lithiation

By-products in the syntheses of 2-(1- and 2-naphthyl)pyridines by successive treatments of 1- and 2-bromonaphthalenes with (a) n-butyllithium in ether and (b) pyridine are identified as 5-butyl-2-(1-naphthyl)pyridine and, tentatively, 5-butyl-2-(2-naphthyl)pyridine, respectively. It is proposed that these by-products result from reaction of intermediate compounds 1-lithio-2-naphthyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and 1-bromobutane.     

Photoisomerization of naphthylquinolylethylenes in neutral and protonated forms

The quantum yield of the trans-cis photoisomerization of 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene and 1-(2-naphthyl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene is close to the theoretical limit (0.5) for diabatic photoisomerization and does not change on passing from the neutral to the protonated form. The data obtained indicate the absence of the α-effect for the test compounds, which consists in an increase in the trans-cis photoisomerization quantum yield to values of >0.5 upon protonation of some azadiarylethylenes with the nitrogen atom in the α-position to the ethylene group.     

Photochemical reactions of naphthyl-vinyl non-conjugated bichromophoric systems

2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl vinyl ether undergoes intramolecular 1,2- photocycloaddition whereas the 2-naphthyl isomer yields a product reflecting dimerisation and loss of the elements of acetylene: consistent with such diverse photochemistry, the addition of 2,3-dihydropyran to naphthalene produces only the 1,2-, 1′,2′regioisomer.     

Synthesis of mixed cyclotriveratrylenes

It was noteworthy that polyethylene characteristic of high molecular weight and wide or bimodal molecular weight distribution was formed with moderate to high activities.     

Reaction mechanism of naphthyl radicals with molecular oxygen. 1. Theoretical study of the potential energy surface

Potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the reactions of 1- and 2-naphthyl radicals with molecular oxygen have been investigated at the G3(MP2,CC)//B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory. Both reactions are shown to be initiated by barrierless addition of O(2) to the respective radical sites of C(10)H(7). The end-on O(2) addition leading to 1- and 2-naphthylperoxy radicals exothermic by 45-46 kcal/mol is found to be more preferable thermodynamically than the side-on addition. At the subsequent reaction step, the chemically activated 1- and 2-C(10)H(7)OO adducts can eliminate an oxygen atom leading to the formation of 1- and 2-naphthoxy radical products, respectively, which in turn can undergo unimolecular decomposition producing indenyl radical + CO via the barriers of 57.8 and 48.3 kcal/mol and with total reaction endothermicities of 14.5 and 10.2 kcal/mol, respectively. Alternatively, the initial reaction adducts can feature an oxygen atom insertion into the attacked C(6) ring leading to bicyclic intermediates a10 and a10' (from 1-naphthyl + O(2)) or b10 and b10' (from 2-naphthyl + O(2)) composed from two fused six-member C(6) and seven-member C(6)O rings. Next, a10 and a10' are predicted to decompose to C(9)H(7) (indenyl) + CO(2), 1,2-C(10)H(6)O(2) (1,2-naphthoquinone) + H, and 1-C(9)H(7)O (1-benzopyranyl) + CO, whereas b10 and b10' would dissociate to C(9)H(7) (indenyl) + CO(2), 2-C(9)H(7)O (2-benzopyranyl) + CO, and 1,2-C(10)H(6)O(2) (1,2-naphthoquinone) + H. On the basis of this, the 1-naphthyl + O(2) reaction is concluded to form the following products (with the overall reaction energies given in parentheses): 1-naphthoxy + O (-15.5 kcal/mol), indenyl + CO(2) (-123.9 kcal/mol), 1-benzopyranyl + CO (-97.2 kcal/mol), and 1,2-naphthoquinone + H (-63.5 kcal/mol). The 2-naphthyl + O(2) reaction is predicted to produce 2-naphthoxy + O (-10.9 kcal/mol), indenyl + CO(2) (-123.7 kcal/mol), 2-benzopyranyl + CO (-90.7 kcal/mol), and 1,2-naphthoquinone + H (-63.2 kcal/mol). Simplified kinetic calculations using transition-state theory computed rate constants at the high-pressure limit indicate that the C(10)H(7)O + O product channels are favored at high temperatures, while the irreversible oxygen atom insertion first leading to the a10 and a10' or b10 and b10' intermediates and then to their various decomposition products is preferable at lower temperatures. Among the decomposition products, indenyl + CO(2) are always most favorable at lower temperatures, but the others, 1,2-C(10)H(6)O(2) (1,2-naphthoquinone) + H (from a10 and b10'), 1-C(9)H(7)O (1-benzopyranyl) + CO (from a10'), and 2-C(10)H(7)O (2-benzopyranyl) + O (from b10 and minor from b10'), may notably contribute or even become major products at higher temperatures.     

Iron-mediated hydrazine reduction and the formation of iron-arylimide heterocubanes

The reaction of Fe(N{SiMe(3)}(2))(2) (1) with 1 equiv of arylthiol (ArSH) results in material of notional composition Fe(SAr)(N{SiMe(3)}(2)) (2), from which crystalline Fe(2)(μ-SAr)(2)(N{SiMe(3)}(2))(2)(THF)(2) (Ar = Mes) can be isolated from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent. Treatment of 2 with 0.5 equiv of 1,2-diarylhydrazine (Ar'NH-NHAr', Ar' = Ph, p-Tol) yields ferric-imide-thiolate cubanes Fe(4)(μ(3)-NAr')(4)(SAr)(4) (3). The site-differentiated, 1-electron reduced iron-imide cubane derivative [Fe(THF)(6)][Fe(4)(μ(3)-N-p-Tol)(4)(SDMP)(3)(N{SiMe(3)}(2))](2) ([Fe(THF)(6)][4](2); DMP = 2,6-dimethylphenyl) can be isolated by adjusting the reaction stoichiometry of 1/ArSH/Ar'NHNHAr' to 9:6:5. The isolated compounds were characterized by a combination of structural (X-ray diffraction), spectroscopic (NMR, UV-vis, Mo?ssbauer, EPR), and magnetochemical methods. Reactions with a range of hydrazines reveal complex chemical behavior that includes not only N-N bond reduction for 1,2-di- and trisubstituted arylhydrazines, but also catalytic disproportionation for 1,2-diarylhydrazines, N-C bond cleavage for 1,2-diisopropylhydrazine, and no reaction for hindered and tetrasubstituted hydrazines.
