Mechanism of the Reaction of 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine with Copper(II) and Palladium(II) Chloride Complexes Containing Poly-(N-2-Alcoxycarbonylethyl)-Ethyleneimine

The mechanism of the sorption of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine vapors with metal chloride complexes of poly-(N-2-R-oxycarbonylethyl)-ethyleneimines (R = –n-C₄H₉, –n-C₁₀H₂₁) was studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR) and piezoelectric resonance. The structure of the products was determined. This allowed for the optimization of the chemical composition and structure of poly-(N-2-R-oxycarbonylethyl)-ethyleneimine-based complexes in their use as sensitive coatings of piezoelectric sensors for determining 1,1-dimethylhydrazine vapors in air.     

The nematic-isotropic two phase region in mixtures of quasi-spherical solutes in alkylcyanobiphenyls: An E.S.R. study using tempone as probe

The transitional behaviour of binary mixtures, each containing a non-mesomorphic quasi-spherical solute at a low mole fraction in a nematogenic solvent, has been investigated by E.S.R. spectroscopy using 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl-1-oxy (tempone) as a spin probe. This approach makes use of the smaller coupling constant obtained for the spin probe in the orientationally ordered nematic phase relative to that obtained in the isotropic phase. The solutes included Et₄C (tetraethylmethane) and R ₄Sn (R = C^b2bH₅, n-C_{3 H 7} and nC_b4H₉). The solvents were 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) 4-n-hexyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (6CB) and 4-n-heptyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (7CB). This fast approach compares favourably with other studies. In addition it provides the tempone spectral parameter, f, which is a relative measure of the fraction of the nematic phase at different temperatures within the two phase region.     

Intramolecular hydroamination/cyclization of aminoalkenes catalyzed by diamidobinaphthyl magnesium- and zinc-complexes

Reaction of 2 equiv of n-Bu₂Mg and Et₂Zn with the chiral l-proline-derived axial chiral tetraamines (S,S,S)-1 and (R,S,S)-1 gave the chiral bimetallic complexes [M₂{(S,S,S)-DABN(MeProline)₂}{R}₂] (M=Mg, R=n-Bu ((S,S,S)-2); M=Zn, R=Et ((S,S,S)-3)) and [M₂{(R,S,S)-DABN(MeProline)₂}{R}₂] (M=Mg, R=n-Bu ((R,S,S)-2)); M=Zn, R=Et ((R,S,S)-3)). The magnesium complexes showed moderate to high catalytic activity in the intramolecular hydroamination/cyclization of aminoalkenes, though enantiomeric excess was limited to 14% ee due to protolytic ligand exchange processes. The zinc complexes were less reactive and generally required higher reaction temperatures of 60-100 °C, but achieved slightly higher enantiomeric excess of up to 29% ee.     

Cobalt-59 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of compounds with cobalt-tin bonds

The cobalt-59 NMR spectra of a series of substituted tetracarbonyl cobalt compounds are recorded in solution. Several considerations have shown that in the series R_nX_m-nSn{Co(CO)₄}_4-m (m = 1,2,3; n ? m; R = alkyl, phenyl; X = Cl) the chemical shift is mainly sensitive to π-effects in the metal-metal bond.     

Cyclobutadieneiron nitrosyl complexes

The air stable yellow-orange complexes of cyclobutadieneiron dicarbonyl nitrosyl hexafluorophosphate, [R₄C₄Fe(CO)₂NO]⁺PF^-₆; R = H, CH₃, Ph, were prepared by the reaction of R₄C₄Fe(CO)₃ and nitrosonium hexafluorophosphate. These complexes undergo facile monocarbonyl substitution reactions with various Lewis bases (L) to afford products of the type [R₄C₄Fe(CO)(NO)L]⁺PF^-₆, R = H, L = Ph₃P, Ph₃As, Ph₃Sb or R = Ph; L = Ph₃P, Ph₃As; a dicarbonyl substitution product of the type [R₄C₄Fe(NO)L₂]⁺PF^-₆, R = Ph; L = (PhO)₃P, was also isolated and characterized.     

Novel pentacoordinate silicon compounds bearing [Si-N-C-N-C-N] chelate ring derived from biguanide ligands

The reactions between secondary carbosilanes 1-3 and 1-propylbiguanide/1-phenylbiguanide, H₆bigR proceed via SiH/NH dehydrocoupling and afford 1,4-bis(silyl)-5-propyl/phenylbiguanides with the general formula (R¹R²₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMeH)₂·H₄bigR, [R¹=Ph, R²=Me, R=ⁿPr (4), R=Ph (5); R¹=Me, R²=Ph, R=ⁿPr (6), R¹=R²=Et, R=Ph (7)]. These compounds represent a new family of pentacoordinate silicon derivatives comprising of [Si-N-C-N-C-N] chelate ring and have been characterized by elemental analysis, FAB mass, IR and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si) NMR spectral studies.     

Synthese und Struktur eines Pentaalkylchlorohexastibans Sb6R5Cl [R = (Me3Si)2CH]

Synthesis and Structure of Pentaalkylchlorohexastibane Sb₆R₅Cl [R = (Me₃Si)₂CH] The reaction of RSbCl₂ [R = (Me₃Si)₂CH] with Na‐K alloy in tetrahydrofuran gives besides the known rings Sb_nR_n (n = 3, 4), (Me₃Si)₂CH₂ and the pentaalkylchlorohexastibane Sb₆R₅Cl ( 1 ). 1 was characterized by spectroscopic methods (MS, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐NMR, X‐ray diffraction). The structure of 1 consists of a folded four membered antimony ring in the all‐trans configuration with three alkyl groups and one Sb(R)—Sb(R)Cl fragment as substituents.     

Formation of cyclic ions in the electron impact induced fragmentation of 1,n-bis-(alkylthio) alkanes

Fragmentation of molecular ions of 1,n-bis(alkylthio)alkanes (R¹-S-(CH₂)_n-S-R²) occurs mainly by α- or β-cleavage to a sulphur atom. The ratio of fragments derived by α- or β-cleavage depends on the number of methylene groups (n) between the two sulphur atoms and on the alkyl groups R¹ and R². Generally β-cleavage induced fragmentation dominates for 1,2-bis(alkylthio)ethanes (n=2) leading to formation of thiiranium ions. Fragmentations derived by α-cleavage are predominant for all compounds with n=3; base peaks corresponding to [M-(R)]⁺ or [M-(2R)+(H)]⁺ are found which gives evidence for formation of five membered cyclic ions. Such fragmenss are less intense in compounds with n=4 whereas m all other compounds β-cleavage predominates if R = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl.     

Preparation and properties of poly(phosphonatoalanes)

Two general types of poly(phosphonatoalanes), [? Al(X)O? P(O)(R)O? ]_n (X = Cl or F, R = alkyl or aryl) and [? Al(OP(O)R₂)O? P(O)(R′)O? ]_n, were prepared and studied. Poly[chloro(phosphonato)alanes] are influsible and have low molecular weights (n = 4–11). Polyfluoro(phosphonato)alanes are fusible and also have low molecular weights, but under certain conditions grow to higher polymers (n = 30–45). Poly[phosphinato(phosphonato)alanes] are fusible and are prepared with high molecular weights (n = 83–340).     

EHT Model Studies on Coordination-Sphere Effects in the Elementary steps of d0 transition-metal-catalyzed Ziegler-Natta polymerization

In a theoretical investigation on Ziegler-Natta catalysis, the influence of the coordination number and ligand type of model compounds in relevant reaction steps were studied. Thus, by using the MEHT method, insertion reactions of ethylene into Zr–CH₃ and Zr–H bonds were analyzed in systems of the type [Zr(C₂H₄)R₄R′]^?[Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₂R′], and [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₃R′]^?(R=R′=CH₃, R=CH₃, R′=H). It was found that all processes do not have significant kinetic barriers, whereas the reverse reactions in particular the β-hydride elimination have relatively high ones. The influence of coordination geometry and number on these transformations was found to be insignificant. While studying related conversions starting from [Zr(L)(C₂H₄)R₃R′], [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)RR′(L)]⁺, and [Zr(Cp)(C₂H₄)R₂R′(L)] (L = π-donor, R=R′=CH₃ or R=CH₃, R′=H) compounds a pronounced π-donor effect was observed. Methyl insertions in these cases showed a higher computed activation barrier than hydride migrations. An orbital basis for this phenomenon was provided and conclusions concerning chain-length control in Ziegler-Natta catalysis were drawn.     

Solid-state structure determination and solution-state NMR characterization of the (2R,4R)/(2S,4S)- and (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-diastereomers of the agricultural fungicide propiconazole,the (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-symmetrical triazole constitutional isomer,and a ditriazole analogue

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the structure of a racemic diastereomer of the agricultural fungicide propiconazole [1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-n-propyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,2,4-triazole] and of two by-products (a symmetrical 1,3,4-triazole racemic-constitutional isomer and a propiconazole ditriazole analogue). All three crystalline racemic-diastereomers had (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-stereochemistry in which then-propyl group was observed in atrans-to-phenyl disposition. Propiconazole (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-diastereomer gives crystals belonging to the monoclinic space group P2₁,/a, and, at 293 K,a=8.1192(3),b=18.9769(6),c=10.7137(4) å,Β=99.765(3)?,V=1626.8(1) å³, Z=4,R(F)=0.060, andR _w(F)=0.058. The constitutional isomer by-product (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-n-pro-pyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,3,4-triazole gives crystals belonging to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, and, at 293 K,a=11.1763(6),b=10.7716(4),c=14.5804(8) å,Β=107.445(4)?,V=1674.6(1) å³, Z=4,R(F)=0.043, andR _w(F)=0.043. The ditriazole byproduct (2R,4S)/(2S,4R)-1-(2-(2-chloro-4-(1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)phenyl)-4-n-propyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl-methyl)-1-H-1,2,4-triazole gives crystals belonging to the triclinic space groupP¯ 1, and, at 193 K,a=5.3329(8),b=8.3738(7),c=20.240(2) å, α=84.213(6)?,Β=87.20(1)?,γ=86.23(1)?,V=896.5(2) å³, Z=2,R(F)=0.046, andR _w(F)=0.051. The presence of both propiconazole (2R.4S)- and (2S,4R)-enantiomers enables the formation of a crystalline racemic modification, while the diastereomeric propiconazole (2R,4R)- and (2S,4S)-enantiomers are viscous oils. In the absence of its enantiomorphic partner, the propiconazole (2R,4S)- or (2S,4R)-enantiomers remain as viscous oils rather than form chiral crystals.     

The effect of cation size on ion pairing of methyl orange dye with tetraalkylammonium and benzyltrialkylammonium ions in aqueous solution

Formation constants have been measured by a solvent distribution method for the ion pairing of an arene sulfonate, methyl orange dye, with two series of quaternary ammonium ions: R₄N⁺(R=Et,n-Pr,n-Bu, andn-Pent) and C₆H₅CH₂R₃N⁺ (R=Me, Et,n-Pr,n-Bu,n-Pent, andn-Hex). Ion pairing increases dramatically as the length of the R group increases beyond butyl. Using a hard-sphere model for contact ion pairs, it is estimated that coulombic attraction contributes about –kT to the binding free energy and decreases slightly with increasing size of R₄N⁺. Other factors related to solvation effects, of which cosphere overlap predominates, contribute from –2kT to –7kT of binding energy. Plots of logK for association as a function of cation size show an inflection with decreasing slope between R=propyl and R=butyl. Possible causes for the inflection are considered.     

Fluorierte Elementorganica: Oxidative Flüssigphasen-Direktfluorierung. X. Organyloxyfluorphosphorane: Direktsynthese durch F2-Addition an Phosphinic-, Phosphonic- sowie Phosphoricsäureester(fluoride) und Thermolyseverhalten

Fluorinated Organoelements: Oxidative Liquid-Phase Direct Fluorination. X. Organyloxyfluorophosphoranes: Direct Synthesis by F₂-Addition to Phosphinic-, Phosphonic-, and Phosphoric-Acid Ester(fluorides) and Thermal Behaviour The phenoxyfluorophosphoranes (PhO)₂PF₂R ( 2a: R = CH₃, 2b: R = Ph) and (PhO)_3?nPF_n+2 ( 4a: n = 0, 4b: n = 1, 4c: n = 2) were obtained in reasonable yield by direct fluorination of the corresponding organyloxy(fluoro)phosphanes for the first time. Contrary to 4c the intramolecular ligand exchange can be frozen up in 4b. The up to now unknown thermally unstable alkoxy-substituted difluorides (AlkO)_3?PF₂R_n ( 6a: Alk = CH₃, R = Ph), n = 2; 6b: Alk = CH₂CF₃, R = Ph, n = 2; 6c: Alk = CH₃, R = Ph, n = 1; 6d: Alk = CH₃, n = 0) were isolated by low temperature F₂-addition in pure substance, too. Their thermal decomposition (scrambling, CH₃F-elimination) was cleared up for 6a as model substance and transferred to (CH₃O)₃PF₂ 6d Here the splitting of (CH₃)₂O under “Arbusov-conditions” is very surprising. The trigonal bipyramidal covalent structure of all organyloxyphosphoranes was confirmed by multinuclear ¹⁹F, ³¹P{¹H}, ¹³C{¹H}) NMR experiments.

The compounds are five-coordinate, carboxylate-bridged polymers when R = n-Pr, while the other aromatic carboxylates are four coordinate. The compounds were also tested for their fungicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal activities.

As reaction products bisphosphonium salts, [R₃P? CY_nX_2–n? PR′₃]X₂, and phosphoranylphosphonium salts, [R₃P=CY? PR′₃]X, or reduced (halo)methyl-phosphonium salts, [R₃PCHY_nX_2–n]X, are obtained. [Ph₃PCBrF₂]Br and [Bu₃PCBrF₂]Br react with R′₃P by trans-alkylation forming [R′₃PCBrF₂]Br. The factors influencing the course of the reaction are discussed.

New complexes [Cr(CO)₄(R₂P(S)P(S)R₂)] and [Cr₂(CO)₁₀(-R₂P(S)P(S)R₂)] (R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ , Bu ⁿ ), (1a)–(1d) and (2a)–(2d) [(1a), R = Me; (1b), R = Et; (1c), R = Pr ⁿ ; (1d), R = Bu ⁿ ; (2a), R = Me; (2b), R = Et; (2c), R = Pr ⁿ ; (2d), R = Bu ⁿ ] have been prepared by the photochemical reaction of Cr(CO)₆ with R₂P(S)P(S)R₂ (R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ and Bu ⁿ ) and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-i.r., ³¹P-[¹H]-n.m.r. spectroscopy and FAB-mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic data suggest cis-chelate bidentate coordination of the ligand in [Cr(CO)₄(R₂P(S)P(S)R₂)] and cis-bridging bidentate coordination of the ligand between two metals in [Cr₂(CO)₁₀(-R₂P(S)P(S)R₂)] (R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ and Bu ⁿ ).

üBER DIE INSERTION VON RPS2 IN DIE PN-BINDUNG VON AMINOPHOSPHINEN

Abstract

Aminophosphine des Typs R_n P(NR′₂)_3-n (n= 2, 1, 0; R = Ph, c-Hex, (-)Men, t-Bu; R′= Me, Et, n-Bu) reagieren mit 2, 4-Bis(aryl)-1, 3, 2, 4-dithiadiphosphetan-2, 4-disulfiden (ArPS₂)₂(Ar: Ph, 4-Methoxyphenyl = An, Naphthyl, Thienyl) unter formaler Insertion monomerer {ArPS₂)-Einheiten in eine oder in zwei der λ³-P—N-Bindung zu chiralen Organophosphorverbindungen Ar(R′₂N)P(S)—S—PR_n (NR′₂)_2-n(n = 2, 1, 0) und [Ar(R′₂N)P(S)—]₂PR₂(NR′₂)_1-n (n = 1.0). In diesen werden bei Raumtemperatur bevorzugt die λ³—P—N—und λ³—P—S-Bindungen durch H₂O oder Methanol unter Bildung von Produktgemischen solvolysiert. Mit Chlorwasserstoff bildet sich aus An(Et₂N)P(S)—S—PPh(NEt₂) das An(Et₂ N)P(S)—S—PPh(C1). Addition von Schwefel führt zu Ar(R′₂N)P(S)—S—P(S)R_n (NR′)_2-n (n=2, 1). Die Stereoisomerenbildung der neuen Verbindungen wird besprochen und ihre Struktur sowie die Zusammensetzung der Reaktionsmischungen aus den ³¹P-Spektren hergeleitet.

At room temperature chiefly the A—P—N and A³—P—S-bonds in these products are solvolyzed by H, O or methanol with formation of mixtures of compounds. With hydrogen chloride An(Et₂N)P(S)—S—PPh(NEt₂) is converted into An(Et₂N)P(S)—S—PPh(Cl). Addition of sulfur yields Ar(R′₂N)P(S)—S P(S)R_n (NR′₂)_2-n (n = 2, 1). Stereoisomerism of the new compounds is discussed and their structures as well as the composition of reaction mixtures are deduced from “P-NMR-spectra”.
