Alkylation of anionoid intermediates in the reaction of benzofuran with lithium in hexametapol

It is shown that the principal pathway in the reaction of benzofuran with a solution of lithium in hexametapol is opening of the furan ring of benzofuran to give a dilithium derivative. Mono- and dialkylation products are formed when the reaction mixture is treated with alkylating agents. It was established by the use of alkylating agents with different degrees of hardness that the oxygen atom is a softer polarizable center than the sp-hybridized carbanion center.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 22–23, January, 1978.     

Homolytic dissociation of the carbon-element σ bonds by Grignard reagents

The reaction of 2-ethyl-3-tetrahydrofuryl thiocyanate (I) and triphenylacetonitrile (VIII) with methylmagnesium iodide in ether was studied using GC/MS, PMR and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The reaction of (I) with CH₃MgI gives the product of the homolysis of the C-S bond, namely, bis(2-ethyl-3-tetrahydrofuryl) disulfide (II), in 81% yield. This reaction is assumed to be general in nature since triphenylacetonitrile (VIII) is also homolytically cleaved by the action of CH₃MgI to give triphenylmethane.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2886–2888, December, 1991.     

Catalytic synthesis of dihydrofurans (review)

Various methods for the preparation of 2,3-dihydrofuran, 2,5-dihydrofuran, 2-methylenetetrahydrofuran, and their alkyl and aryl derivatives are examined. The most promising method for the preparation of 2,3-dihydrofuran is the conversion of 1,4-butanediol on cobalt catalysts. 2,5-Dihydrofuran is obtained by dehydration of 2-butene-1,4-diol on Al₂O₃, cobalt-containing and other catalysts, while 2-methylenetetrahydrofuran is obtained by dehydrohalogenation of tetrahydrofurfuryl halides. The various methods for the isomerization of 2,5-dihydrofuran to 2,3-dihydrofuran are discussed. Examples of the application of dihydrofurans in organic synthesis are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1299–1311, October, 1982.

Summary In the presence of BF₃ etherate, vinyl ethyl ether and 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrofuran react with halogen-containing Schiff bases to give the corresponding quinoline derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 365–367, February, 1965     

Synthesis and properties of sym-triazene derivatives 12. Synthesis of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-6-substituted sym-triazenes containing a sterically hindered phenol group

6-Substituted 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazet:es containing the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol group are synthesized by simultaneous cyclotrimerization of trichloroacetonitrile with the nitrile or thiocyanate derivative of the sterically hindered phenol in the presence of gaseous HCl. Significant amounts of 2,4,6-tris(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazene are formed as a byproduct.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 240–243, February, 1994.

Synthesis and properties of sym-triazines. 10 Synthesis of 2,4-diamino-sym-triazines containing a sterically hindered phenol substituent

Condensation of N-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)biguanide with esters in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium ethylate gives 2-amino-4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylanilino)-6-substituted sym-triazines. When the trichloroacetate ester is used the main product is 2-amino-4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylanilino)-6-oxo-1(5)H-sym-triazine.For communication 9 see [1]Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1395–1399, October, 1992.     

New method for the synthesis of γ-diketones

Summary Over platinized charcoal at 300° 1-(2-furyl)-3-alkanols, as a result of the hydrogenolysis of the furan ring, and 1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)-3-alkanols, as a result of the isomerization of the tetrahydrofuran ring, give-diketones in yields of 35–50%.     

Interaction of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-α]pyrimidine with methylene-active compounds and acid hydrolysis of its products

Reactions of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine with sodium derivatives of pentane-2,4-dione, malonodinitrile, Meldrum acid, acetoacetic, cyanoacetic and malonic esters have been shown to give the respective substituted derivatives. Azinyl-ylidene tautomerism has been found to be characteristic of these compounds, the latter existing mainly in the ylidene form. The acid hydrolysis of pentane-2, 5-dione and cyanoacetic and malonic esters derivatives has been investigated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
