Stability of Phosphorus Trihalide Solutions Used in Polarography

The behavior of PCl₃ and PI₃ solutions in acetonitrile containing no more than 0.02 wt % H₂O in storage at room temperature was studied.     

Synthesis of ethyl 3-oxo-2-(3,4,5-trifluoro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)butyrate

Ethyl acetoacetate was acylated with 3,4,5-trifluoro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride to give, for the first time, ethyl 3-oxo-2-(3,4,5-trifluoro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)butyrate and its copper chelate. The title compound was used for the synthesis of 6,7,8-trifluoro-5-hydroxy-2-methylchromone, 1-(3,4,5-trifluoro-2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)butane-1,3-dione, and its copper chelate.

Local algebras of two-sided convolutions on the Heisenberg group

The paper is devoted to the study of the algebraic structure of local algebras of two-sided convolutions with singular kernels on the Heisenberg group. The composition law for triples equivalent to these convolution operators is established.Translated fromMatematicheakie Zametki, Vol. 59, No. 3, pp. 370–381, March, 1996.I thank Professor Vasilevskii for supervision of this work.This research was partially supported by the CONCACYT Foundation (Mexico) under grant No. 1821-E9211.     

New Fluoroaryl-containing β,β'-Dioxoesters in the Synthesis of Fluorobenzopyran-2(4)-ones

For the first time were obtained ethyl 2-(2-methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoyl)-3-oxobutanoate and ethyl 2-pentafluorobenzoyl-3-oxobutanoate and their copper chelates. The compounds were prepared by acylation of ethyl acetoacetate with 2-methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro- and pentafluorobenzoyl chlorides. Cyclization of these ,'-dioxoesters afforded substituted chromones. 2-Methyl-5-methoxy-6,7,8-trifluoro-3-ethoxycarbonylchromone hydrolyzes depending on reaction conditions either to 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-6,7,8-trifluorochromone or to 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-6,7,8-trifluorochromone-3-carboxylic acid. Reaction with morpholine provided 7-substituted product, and with aqueous ammonia as a result of rearrangement forms 3-acetimidoyl-4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,7,8-trifluorocoumarin. Hydrolysis of the latter yields 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,7,8-trifluorocoumarin.     

Reactions of ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone-3-carboxylate and 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin with S-nucleophiles

The reactions of ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone-3-carboxylate with mercaptoacetic acid and 1,2-ethanedithiol afforded C(7)-substitution products. The above-mentioned chromone reacted with 2-mercaptoethanol to yield 7-mono- or 5,7,8-trisubstituted products depending on the reaction conditions. The reaction of 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin with 2-mercaptoethanol afforded a 5,7,8-trisubstituted produect. The acyl-lactone rearrangement of mono- and trisubstituted chromones yielded the corresponding coumarins. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
