Equilibrium NH-acidity of 1,4-dihydropyridines and 4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]pyridines

The patterns governing the dependence of NH-acidity on the presence of -, - and -substituents in the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring and on their nature have been established by comparison of the pK_a values of monocyclic 1,4-dihydropyridines and 4,5-dihydroindenopyridines. Additional data were obtained on the influence of the the electronic effects of sulfur-containing substitutents on the reaction center in the dihydropyridine molecules.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1228–1231, September, 1989.     

Transformations of Cyclohexane under the Action of in situ Generated Aluminum Halides

Structure and Catalytic Properties of a Cu2+-Containing Hydrogel of Zirconium Dioxide

The distribution of Cu²⁺ ions in ZrO₂ and sulfated ZrO₂ hydrogel phases was studied by EPR spectroscopy and voltammetry. The formation of the following three types of copper structures was observed: mononuclear Cu²⁺ complexes (A), magnetic associates (B), and Cu²⁺ compounds (C) that gave no EPR signals under the conditions used in the spectroscopic measurements. The specific catalytic activity of various Cu²⁺ compounds in the liquid-phase reaction of 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-hydroquinone oxidation was determined. The copper complexes C were found to exhibit the highest catalytic activity.     

Intensity measurement for Kβ η satellites in the radiative auger effect

Calculations have been performed on the integral shapes of the K lines, which are long-wave satellites of the K ₁ lines, for Cl, Ti, and Fe, where allowance has been made for interference between states in the 2p^–1 and 3p^–2p configurations. The calculations show that these satellites represent short-wave branches of the K lines strengthened by the 3p-1s transition with simultaneous M electron ejection. The strong interference between the amplitudes of these processes in the final state means that it is in principle quite impossible to speak of the intensities of the K satellites without stating how they are isolated from the measured spectrum.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 34–39, September, 1984.     

Phenylation of Organic Derivatives of Mercury,Silicon, Tin,and Bismuth with Pentaphenylantimony and Pentaphenylphosphorus

Pentaphenylantimony and -phosphorus react with arylmercury chlorides in toluene at room temperature to give diaryl derivatives of mercury in yields of up to 95%. The reactions of pentaphenylantimony and -phosphorus with silicon and tin halides involve arylation of the latter in yields of up to 79%. The products of the reaction of pentaphenylphosphorus with triphenylbismuth dihalides are tetraphenylphosphorus halides, triphenylbismuth, and halobenzene.     

The electrosurface characteristics of dispersions of silicon and titanium aeroxides in solutions containing indifferent and specifically sorbed ions

The electrokinetic potentials of silicon and titanium aeroxides and the adsorption of potential-determining ions on them are measured as functions of pH in 10^?3-1 M NaCl solutions. The positions of the points of zero charge and the isoelectric points are determined. The adsorption of a cationic dye, oxazine 1, from aqueous solutions free of background electrolytes and in the presence of 10^?2 M NaCl is measured for both the oxides. The effect of the adsorption of the specifically sorbed cation on the electrokinetic behavior of the tested aeroxides is analyzed.     

Reaction of cyclopentadienyllutetium anthracenide with azobenzene. Synthesis and molecular and crystal structure of the binuclear complex [C5H5(THF)Lu(μ−η2:η2−PhN—NPh)]2(THF)2 and its dynamic behavior in solution

The reaction of the cyclopentadienyllutetium anthracenide, C₅H₅Lu(C₁₄H₁₀)²⁻(THF)₂ (1), with azobenzene yielded the [C₅H₅(THF)Lu(μ−η²:η²−PhN—NPh)]₂(THF)₂ (2) binuclear complex. The structure of the reaction product was established by X-ray structural analysis. The dynamic behavior of complex2 in a THF-d₈ solution was studied by¹H NMR spectroscopy in the temperature range of 265–330 K. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of Tetrafluoromethane by Graphite Fluorination with Elemental Fluorine

Formation of high-temperature inverse wave of the filtration combustion of graphite fixed bed in fluorine was studied. Scientific principles of the industrial process of the tetrafluoromethane synthesis from graphite and fluorine were developed.     

Hexafluorothioacetone based synthesis of fluorinated heterocycles

Cycloadducts of hexafluorothioacetone (HFTA) were prepared in high yield by a CsF catalyzed reaction between readily available 2,2,4,4-tetrakis-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dithietane (as a source of HFTA) with conjugated electron-rich hydrocarbon dienes, such as cyclopentadiene, 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene, cyclohexa-1,3-diene or (1Z,3Z)-cyclohepta-1,3-diene. Cyclohexa-1,4- and (1Z,5Z)-cycloocta-1,5-dienes, also undergo the reaction with in situ generated HFTA, but form the products of insertion of HFTA into the C-H bond of the diene as a result of ene-reaction. The highly selective reaction of HFTA with (1Z,3Z,5Z)-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene and (1Z,3Z,5Z,7Z)-cycloocta-1,3,5,7-tetraene leads to the formation of cycloadducts derived from exclusive addition of thioacetone to the corresponding bicyclic isomers—bicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4-diene or bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4,7-triene, respectively. The corresponding cycloadducts of HFTA with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3-cyclohexa-1,3-cyclohexa-1,4-dienes and (1Z,3Z,5Z)-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene were also prepared by direct reaction of sulfur/hexafluoropropene/KF and the corresponding hydrocarbon substrate at 35-45 °C in DMF.
