Microsynthesis of Dianhydrohexitols

Abstract

Conditions have been established for the microsyntheses of dianhydro-hexitols by reaction of 1, 4-monoanhydro-D, L-galactitols and 1, 5-monoanhydro-D-galactitol as well as of 1, 4- and 1, 5-monoanhydro-D-glucitols and -D-mannitols with tosyl chloride in pyridine followed by cyclization of the resulting 6-O-tosyl derivatives in methanolic solution of sodium methoxide. The dianhydrohexitols were formed by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of the C-6 O-tosyl group with a properly stereochemically oriented hydroxyl group.

Components of the mixtures were separated by capillary gas chromato-graphy using columns coated with SP-2340 and identified by GC-MS. The identities of the synthesized dianhydrohexitols were confirmed by comparison with the GC retention times and mass spectra of authentic samples.     

(Co)polymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates—temperature‐induced aggregation in aqueous solution

The synthesis and aggregation behavior of well‐defined thermosensitive (co)polymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates (POEGMA) in aqueous solutions were investigated. The cloud points of the POEGMAs solutions were determined by turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering. For POEGMA (co)polymers the cloud point temperature (T_CP) increased linearly with increasing content of more hydrophilic comonomer. The mesoglobules formed by POEGMAs in dilute aqueous solutions above T_CP were studied by light scattering. The size of mesoglobules depended on the concentration and the heating procedures. The aggregates became smaller with decreasing initial concentration of polymer and increasing rates of temperature change. By selecting the proper heating and dilution procedures, the influence of the (co)polymer structure on the size of the mesoglobules could be determined. The size of the mesoglobules decreased with the length of the OEG side chains and increased with increasing content of more hydrophilic comonomer. The light scattering parameters of the mesoglobules—A₂ values and shape factors ${R_{\rm g}\over R_{\rm h}}$ —suggested that the hydrophilic OEG side chains placed at the periphery of the mesoglobules in direct contact with the surrounding water controlled the size of mesoglobules and their stability. Shape factors for all POEGMA mesoglobules indicated that the mesoglobules remained highly hydrated after formation. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2013     

Supramolecular synthons and pattern recognition in adenine amides – synthesis,structures and thermal properties

An effective method for the synthesis of novel adenine amides was developed and successfully implemented, leading to 4-propyloxy-N-(9H-purin-6-yl)benzamide (1) and 4-dodecyloxy-N-(9H-purin-6-yl)benzamide (2). The compounds were fully characterised by means of spectroscopic (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR) and thermal (TG, DSC) analysis. The crystallographic analysis revealed that the formation of supramolecular chains relies on hydrogen bonding between amide functionalities. All supramolecular synthons found in the crystal structure of 1 were confirmed with the temperature-dependent IR method. The temperature-dependent IR method is useful in determining supramolecular interactions for compound 2, for which the crystal structure could not be obtained. A detailed analysis of temperature-dependent FT-IR spectra was used for the first time to identify the hydrogen bonds that exist in the solid state of our compounds; it can therefore be considered a promising method for the pattern recognition of hydrogen bonding in supramolecular chemistry.     

Preparation and Oxidative-Chlorination Splitting of Nitro Derivatives OF 1,4-Dithiino[2,3-C:5,6-C′]Diquinoline as a Source of 4-Substituted 5- and 8-Nitro-3-Quinolinesulfonic Acid Derivatives

Abstract

Treatment of 1,4-dithiino[2,3-c:5,6-c′]diquinoline (a thioquinanthrene) (1a) with an excess of nitrating mixture (0 °C, 14 days) led to a mixture of mono- and dinitrothioquinanthrene 7-oxides 2b–e and 2f–h. This mixture was: (i) reduced to a mixture of mono- and dinitrothioquinanthrenes 1b– e, or (ii) oxidatively chlorinated with a gaseous chlorine/80% acetic acid/hydrochloric acid system to a mixture of 4-chloro-3-chlorosulfonylquinoline 3a and its 5- and 8-nitroderivatives 3b and 3d. Sulfochlorides 3a– d were independently synthesized from 3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 4 and converted to the respective 4-dimethylamino-3-quinoline-N,N-dimethylsulfonamides 9a–d.     

β-( N -Acylamino)vinylphosphonium Salts--Synthesis and Properties

A reaction of g -carbonyl phosphorus ylides with imidoyl halides gives hitherto unknown g -( N -acylamino)vinylphosphonium salts. The same product can be obtained using the N-monosubtituted amide/Ph 3 PBr 2 /Et 3 N system instead of imidoyl halide. The key step of the reaction probably involves an intramolecular [1,3] O-to-N migration of the vinyl group, converting the primary O -imidoylation product into g -( N -acylamino)vinylphosphonium salt.     

Preparation of New Dialkyl Benzene-, Biphenyl-, and Naphthalene-bis(α-oxoethanedithioates)

Novel arene-bis- and -tris(α-oxoethanedithioate) esters of the benzene, the biphenyl, and, in particular, the naphthalene series were prepared by reaction of the corresponding diazoacetyl or bromoacetyl derivatives with elemental sulfur in the presence of triethylamine in dry DMF, and subsequent direct alkylation of the produced dithiocarboxylate anions. The thiolation reaction of the diazoketones was significantly promoted by the addition of anhydrous calcium chloride (calcium chloride–activated thiolation, or CAT). Certain carbonyl-activated methylene and methyl compounds exhibiting no bromo or diazo substituents could be also transformed into dithioesters by the CAT reaction. The structure of three dithioesters was corroborated by X-ray structural analyses.
