Infrared spectra of cyclic ethers and their derivatives

Data for the characteristic bands of cyclic ethers are reviewed. The infrared spectra of a number of 2-mono- and 2, 5-di-substituted derivatives of tetrahydrofuran are investigated. Absorption bands at about 900 cm⁻¹ are related to pulsation vibrations, and those at about 1200 cm⁻¹ to antisymmetric skeletal vibrations, of the tetrahydrofuran ring. It is shown that to confirm the presence of a tetrahydrofuran ring in a molecule, it is necessary to take into account not only the band of valence antisymmetric vibrations of the group C-O-C (ν _C-O-C ^as 1075 cm⁻¹), but also bands due to ring pulsation vibrations (ring symmetric valence vibrations ν _sk ^s ∼ 900 cm¹).     

PMR spectroscopic study of the kinetics of H/D exchange in methyl groups in a series of heterocyclic azines

The rate of H/D exchange among methyl group protons in a series of substituted 3-hydroxypyridines, 5-hydroxypyrimidines, and their N-oxides has been shown to increase with increasing acidity of the medium. The most reactive form of these molecules is the cationic form at pH<2. The rate of H/D exchange of CH₃ group protons in 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives has also been found to be several orders of magnitude lower than the rates of exchange for methyl-substituted 5-hydroxypyrimidine and its N-oxide. Effective rate constants for methyl group proton exchange have been estimated. In the case of methyl-substituted 5-hydroxypyrimidine N-oxide derivatives it has been established that the rate of proton exchange is greater for an ortho-methyl group than for a methyl group in the para-position relative to the N-oxide site.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 93–96, January, 1991.     

Fluorine absorption spectra and some fluorides in condensed state

The absorption spectra of liquid F₂, NF₃, N₂F₄, CF₄, BF₃, NF₃, SF₆ have been obtained at diminished temperatures in the near ultra-violet region of the spectrum. It is shown that the absorption spectrum does not differ from the spectra in the gaseous phase, therefore the elementary absorption act is characterized by the cross section of photon absorption by an individual molecule. The absorption cross sections of the above mentioned molecules are represented in the liquid phase, which do not differ strongly from absorption cross sections of these molecules in the gaseous phase. The dependence of the absorption cross sections of liquid fluorine on its concentrations in solutions with N₂, Ar, NF₃, O₂ at - 196°C has been studied. The cross sections of photon absorption by the fluoride molecule in different liquid media with small fluorine concentrations have been obtained.     

Heterocyclic bioantioxidants. 2. Interaction of 3-nitro-4-substituted coumarins with mercaptans

3-Nitro-4-chlorocoumarin forms 3-nitro-4-substituted coumarins when it reacts with an equimolar quantity of benzyl mercaptan or thiosalicylic acid; with excess benzyl mercaptan, it forms 3,4-di-S-benzyl coumarin. 3-Nitro-4-methoxycoumarin under the same conditions, with an equimolar ratio of reagents, forms a mixture of monosubstituted and disubstituted products. A mechanism is proposed for these reactions.For Communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1476–1479, November, 1991.

New 3-aryl-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo][3,4-b][1,3]benzothiazole-6,7-dicarbonitriles have been synthesized by successive interaction of 5-aryl-4H-triazole-2-thiols with 4-bromo-5-nitrophthalonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃ initially at the bromine atoms and then at the nitro group.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, 270–272, February, 2005.     

Intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines

To explain the character of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines, the chemical shifts in the NMR spectra of the hydroxyl group and the IR spectra were studied. It was established that the stability of the intramolecular hydrogen bond of the O-HNR₂ type in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines increases when compared with the corresponding phenols, while an opposite pattern is observed for bonds of the O-H0₂ N type. An approximate evaluation of the energy of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines was achieved. When reacting with bases of the same strength, 3-hydroxypyridine forms more stable complexes than phenol.     

Form of the dihedral angle dependence of the spin-spin coupling constant JHNNH

Cyclic hydrazides (derivatives of phtalhydrazide,pyrozolidone-3, indazolone, cyclic hydrazide camphoric acid) are studied by the NMR¹H method. The size of the dihedral HNNH angle of several model compounds (pyrozolidone-3, cyclic hydrazide norcamphoric acid) are calculated by the MINDO/3 SSF MO LCAO method. It is shown that in the hydrazides with HNNH dihedral angle 0–70° the magnitude of the HNNH spin-spin interaction constant does not exceed 1 Hz. The form of its dependence on the dihedral angle is determined.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 3, pp. 363–366, 1989.     

Dissociative Excitation Processes upon Collisions of Slow Electrons with MgBr2 Molecules

Dissociative excitation of MgI, MgII, and MgBr upon e–MgBr₂ collisions was experimentally studied. The excitation cross sections of the spectral lines of MgI and MgII, as well as two sets of bands of the MgBr molecule were measured at an incident electron energy of 100 eV. In the electron energy range from the excitation threshold to 100 eV, ten optical excitation functions with a complex structure were recorded. The principal pathways of dissociative excitation of MgI, MgII, and MgBr by slow electrons are discussed.

Basicity and structure of 5-hydroxybenzimidazoles in nitromethane

Examination of the acid-base properties of 5-hydroxybenzimidazoles has shown them to exist in nitromethane as the 5-hydroxy-tautomers. Substituents in the 2-position have a predominantly inductive effect on the basicity of the 3-nitrogen, rationalized as in other nitrogen heterocycles by the proximity of the substituents to the reaction center.N.
