Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Pyrrolylfuro[2,3‐d]Pyrimidines and Pyrrolopyrazinofuropyrimidines

5‐Amino‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐substitutedfuro[2,3‐d]pyrimidines ( 2a‐c ) were reacted with 2,5‐dimethoxytetrahydrfuran to afford the pyrrolyl derivatives 3a‐c . Compound 3a was chosen as intermediate for the synthesis of poly fused heterocycles incorporated furopyrimidines moiety 4–11 . Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

Synthesis of the ethyl ester of the mononitrile of malonic acid by the catalytic carbonylation of benzenesulfonyloxyacetonitrile

A new method has been developed for the synthesis of the ethyl ester of the mononitrile of malonic acid by the carbonylation of benzenesulfonyloxyacetonitrile in absolute ethanol in the presence of cobalt carbonyl. The yield of the desired product was 30% with 60–90% conversion of the starting compound. The effects of temperature, pressure, and reaction time were studied.N. D.

Carboxylation of styrene in the N(C4H9)4Br—heptane system

The carboxylation of styrene into carboxylic acids in the N(C₄H₉)₄Br—heptane system in the presence of phosphine complexes and palladium acetate was studied. In the absence of phosphine, the Pd catalyst seems to be stabilized in solution by forming anionic complexes with NBu₄Br; the stabilization depends on the acidity of the reaction medium. The catalytic system can be used repeatedly, its activity being reduced only slightly.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

IR spectral study of the effect of the reaction medium on the state of cobalt in a 10% Co/Al2O3 catalyst for aliphatic hydrocarbons from CO and H2

Diffuse scattering IR spectroscopy was used to study the 10% Co/Al₂O₃ catalyst for the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from CO and H₂. Ionic and metallic cobalt forms were identified in the IR spectroscopy. The adsorption of CO on these forms is accompanied by the appearance of linear and bridged complexes. After prolonged treatment of the catalyst by a CO + 2H₂ mixture, the ions and surface of metallic cobalt remain available for the adsorption of CO. Modification of the surface of metallic cobalt occurs upon the action of the reaction medium. This modification is seen in a bathochromic displacement of the IR bands for the adsorbed and linear CO forms. This displacement is accompanied by a reduction in the strength of the metal-carbon bond in the Co^o-CO complex.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2640–2643, November, 1990.     

Liquid-phase hydroformylation of 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofurans

The synthesis of 3-formyl derivatives of the tetrahydrofuran series was carried out by hydroformylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran and 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran in the presence of HRh(CO)(PPh₃)₃. The influence of the temperature, pressure, catalyst concentration, and the nature of the solvent on the conversion of dihydrofuran, the composition of aldehydes obtained and the selectivity of their formation was investigated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2569–2571, November, 1989.
