Synthesis of new chiral mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraalkylglycolurils

Two general procedures were developed for the synthesis of chiral N-mono-, N, N′-di-, N, N′ N″-tri-, and N, N′, N″, N′″-tetraalkylglycolurils based on the reactions of 4,5-dihydroxy-imidazolidin-2-ones or glyoxal with one or two moles of alkylureas, respectively, by acid catalysis. The reactions of N-monoalkyl- and N, N′-dialkylureas with glyoxal proceed regioselectively. The mechanism of these reactions was suggested and partly confirmed by quantum-chemical calculations and experimental data. The enantiomeric separation of some chiral glycolurils by chiral-phase HPLC was carried out for the first time.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Photooxidation of Transition Metal Complexes of 1,3-Dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) and 1,2-Dithiole-3-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmt)

Metall(II) bis-chelates of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) and 1,2-dithiole-3-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmt) undergo in CHCl₃/CH₃CN (ratio 1:24) photooxidation to the metal(III) bis-chelates when irradiated at 313 nm. No side reactions were observed. There is no correlation between the quantum yields of photooxidation and the electrochemical halve-wave potentials. This holds also in comparison to maleonitriledithiolato chelates.     

Tieffarbige Pseudooxo-Krokonsäurebisamide

4,5-Dichloro-2-dicyanomethylene-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione (2) is synthesized by partial Retro-Michael addition of tetracyanoethylene to 4,5-dichloro-4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione. Compound2 is a new electron acceptor, withN-methyl-benzthiazolone-2-hydrazone giving a charge-transfer complex (6). Nucleophilic substitution of2 by pyrrolidine, morpholine and piperidine leads to deeply coloured bisamides7,8. With aromatic amines bisamides are formed too (11), but monosubstitution products can be isolated.N,N-Dimethylaniline reacts with2 by elimination of hydrogen chloride, leading to aN,N-dimethylaminophenyl monosubstitution product of2. The bisamides are green-blue compounds with intense violet colour in solution. The dyes can be classified as pseudooxo croconic acid bisamides, the new type of chromophore is discussed by¹³C-spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations (CNDO-CI).

Photochromic dihetarylethenes. 17. Synthesis and photochromic properties of dithienylethenes containing new heterocyclic bridging fragments

Procedures were developed for the synthesis of substituted bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)ethenes containing the imidazol-2-one, 1,3-dioxol-2-one, or 1,3-oxazol-2-one fragments as ethene bridges. These compounds were demonstrated to exhibit the photochromic properties. The cyclic forms of some imidazolone and oxazolone photochromes possess high thermal stability. The structure of photochromic 4,5-bis(4-acetyl-2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-one was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecule adopts an anti-parallel conformation similar to that of perfluorocyclopentene-bridged dithienylethenes.     

Development of direct fluorination technology for application to materials for lithium battery

Direct fluorination of 1,3-dioxolan-2-one with elemental fluorine was successfully carried out to provide 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, which was expected as an additive for lithium ion secondary battery. 4-Fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one was also further fluorinated with elemental fluorine to give three isomers of difluoro derivatives by the same methodology. Another topic is the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride, an intermediate of lithium battery electrolyte, by the reaction of methanesulfonyl fluoride with elemental fluorine. The use of perfluoro-2-methylpentane as a solvent gave satisfactory selectivity of trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride.

Radical Cyclization Reactions via Manganese(III) Acetate Leading to 2‐Thienyl‐Substituted Dihydrofuran Compounds

The 2‐thienyl‐substituted 4,5‐dihydrofuran derivatives 3 – 8 were obtained by the radical cyclization reaction of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds 1a – 1f with 2‐thienyl‐substituted conjugated alkenes 2a – 2e by using [Mn(OAc)₃] (Tables 1–5). In this study, reactions of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds 1a – 1e with alkenes 2a – 2c gave 4,5‐dihydrofuran derivatives 3 – 5 in high yields (Tables 1–3). Also the cyclic alkenes 2d and 2e gave the dihydrobenzofuran compounds, i.e., 6 and 7 in good yields (Table 4). Interestingly, the reaction of benzoylacetone (=1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dione; 1f ) with some alkenes gave two products due to generation of two stable carbocation intermediates (Table 5).     

Synthesis of Sulfur-containing Heterocyclic Compounds Based on Isothiocyanate Derivatives of Perfluoroolefins. (Review)

The paper reviews data on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with perfluoroalkyl groups based on the reaction of thiocyanate and isothiocyanate derivatives of perfluoroolefins with mononucleophilic reagents (C-, O-, S-, P-, and N-nucleophiles). It was shown that such derivatives are prospective synthons for the production of 1,3-thiazoles and 1,3-thiazolines. The factors affecting the formation of the heterocyclic system are identified.

Abstract

Nous décrivons la synthèse en quatre étapes de nouveaux 1,3-dihydrobenzodiazaphospholes 3 et 6a-c dont la particularité est de posséder un (3) ou deux (6a-c) motifs N-acyl-diazaphospholines. Seuls les ligands 6a-c présentent des propriétés complexantes vis-à-vis des ions alcalino-terreux. observables par spectrométrie IR et UV.

We describe a four step synthesis of new 1,3-dihydrobenzodiazaphospholes 3 and 6a-c which posses one (3) or two (6a-c) N-acyl diazaphospholine moieties. Only the formation of alkaline-earth cation complexes, with 6a-c has been observed by IR and UV spectroscopies.     

Ligandenaustauschreaktionen am Bis(1,3-diselenol-2-selon-4,5-diselenolato)-kupferat(II) ([Cu(dsis)2]2−) mit Kupfer(II)-Vier- und Fünfringchelaten geminaler und vicinaler ungesättigter Dichalkogenoliganden. Eine EPR-Untersuchung

Ligand Exchange on Bis(1,3-diselenole-2-selone-4,5-diselenolato)cuprate(II) ([Cu(dsis)₂]^2?) with Cu^II Four and Five Ring Bis-chelates Containing Unsaturated Vicinal and Geminal Dichalcogeno Ligands. An EPR Study Ligand exchange reactions (“chelate metathesis”) of bis(1,3-diselenole-2-selone-4,5-diselenolato)cuprate(II), ([Cu(dsis)₂]^2?, with other Cu^II four- or five-ring chelates of unsaturated dichalcogeno ligands are reported. The small solubility of salts of the title complex in common solvents like acetone or chloroform requires pyridine. Mixed-ligand complexes could be detected for all combinations of two starting complexes studied by means of their g_o and a_o^Cu (EPR) parameters. Due to the coordinating properties of pyridine and electronic reasons commonly used linear dependences of the g value from the composition of the first coordination sphere (“additivity rules”) are not applicable.     

A novel synthesis of aryl tethered imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2-ones through in situ ring construction and contraction

An innovative synthesis of aryl tethered 1,3-dimethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2-ones 4 and 6 has been delineated through base catalyzed ring transformation of 6-aryl-4-(piperidin-1-yl)-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carbonitriles 1 and methyl 6-aryl-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carboxylates 5 with 7-acetyl-1,3-dimethyllumazine 2 with subsequent ring contraction of the fused pyrimidine to an imidazole ring. An additional product, methyl [6-(1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-5-yl)-4-thiophen-2-ylpyran-2-ylidene]acetate 8b, was also isolated from the reaction of 5 and 2, as a minor constituent.     

Co(acac)3/BMMImCl as a base-free catalyst system for clean syntheses of N,N′-disubstituted ureas from amines and CO2

A base-free catalyst system Co(acac)₃/BMMImCl was developed for the carbonylation of amines with CO₂. 45%\2-81% isolated yields for N,N-dialkylureas and 6%\2-23% isolated yields for N,N-diarylureas were obtained. The catalyst system was recovered and reused without significant loss in activity. In this catalyst system, the base catalyst and chemical dehydrant were efficiently avoided. Different reaction conditions were also discussed and a postulated mechanism was proposed.
