Reactions of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone with terminal acetylenes in the presence of phosphorus trichloride. ipso-Substitution of the tert-butyl group

The reactions of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone with aryl-and alkylacetylenes in the presence of phosphorus trichloride afford 4-aryl(alkyl)-8-tert-butyl-2,6-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-benzo[e][1,2]oxaphosphinines as the major ipso-substitution products of the tert-butyl group by the chlorine atom. 4-Aryl(alkyl)-6,8-di(tert-butyl)-2,5-dichloro-2-oxo-and 4-aryl(alkyl)-6-tert-butyl-2,8-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-benzo[e][1,2]oxaphosphinines were obtained as the minor products. The structures of the stable representatives of this series were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Dedicated to Academician G. A. Abakumov on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Preparation and steric structure of 2-Alkoxy-2,5-dioxo-4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-7(8)-chloro-1,3,2λ5-benzodioxaphosphepins

The reaction of hexafluoroacetone with 2-alkoxy-6(7)-chloro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphorin-4-ones yielded 7-and 8-chloro-substituted 2-alkoxy-2,5-dioxo-4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,2λ⁵-benzodioxaphosphepines. Their steric structure was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The effect of fluorinated substituents on the crystal packing of the benzophosphepines was demonstrated. Hydrolysis of these compounds gave the corresponding 4-and 5-chloro-substituted 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)-ethanols; the structure of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethanol was also proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Phosphorylation of pyridoxal azomethines. Synthesis of phosphorus containing azomethines and furopyridines

New O-phosphorylated pyridoxal derivatives have been synthesized through the reaction of azomethines with Р^V acid chlorides. 2-Chloro-2-thioxo-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinanes and diethylchlorothiophosphate have been employed as phosphorylating agents. Regardless of the nature of the phosphorylating agent, the reaction is regioselective at phenolic hydroxyl group. The structure of final products is determined by the nature of the substituent at the nitrogen atom. If R is alkyl or cycloalkyl group, the products of the reaction represent phosphorylated pyridoxal imines, whereas phosphorylated furopyridines are formed in the case R is aryl substituent.

Bromination regiochemistry of 4-Phenyl-2,7-dichloro-2H-chryseno-[6,5-e][1,2]phosphinine 2-oxide

Regioselective bromination of 4-phenyl-2,7-dichloro-2H-chryseno[6,5-e][1,2]phosphinine 2-oxide proceeded in the position 3 with the formation of 3-bromo-4-phenyl-2,7-dichloro-2H-chryseno[6,5-e][1,2] phosphinine 2-oxide; the structure of its 2-tert-butylamino derivative was established by XRD analysis and correlation spectroscopy.     

Molecular dynamics simulations of electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly

Electrostatic assembly of multilayered thin films through sequential adsorption of polyions in layer-by-layer fashion utilizes the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged molecules. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of multilayers of flexible polyelectrolytes around a charged spherical particle. Our simulations establish that the charge reversal after each deposition step is a crucial factor for the steady layer growth. The multilayers appear to be nonequilibrium structures.

Reaction of 5-oxo-2-phenyl-4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphepine with chloral. The synthesis and spatial structure of 5-carbaphosphatrane containing a four-membered ring

Phosphorylation of 2-hydroxyphenyl 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl ketone with dichloro(phenyl)phosphine gave 5-oxo-2-phenyl-4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-di-hydro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphepine. Heating of the latter initiated an intramolecular interaction of the P atom with the carbonyl group. Hydrolysis of the intermediate product yielded 3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2-phenyl-3-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-2,3-di-hydro-1,2λ⁵-benzo[d]oxaphosphole. The reaction was highly stereoselective (P_RC_S/P_SC_R). The reaction of the starting phosphepine with chloral proceeded highly stereoselectively (P_RC_SC_S/P_SC_RC_R) to give a 5-carbaphosphatrane derivative containing a four-membered ring, namely, 1-phenyl-3-trichloromethyl-10,10-bis(trifluoromethyl)-6,7-benzo-2,4,8,9-tetraoxa-1λ⁵-phosphatricyclo[3.3.2.0¹,⁵]decene. The trigonal bipyramid of the 5-carbaphosphatrane derivative is made up of the equatorial O atoms and the apical C atoms.
