Cascade synthesis of 2-amino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole by reaction of 4-chloro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide with thiourea

4-Chloro-N-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide reacted with thiourea on heating in DMF in the presence of sodium carbonate to give 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-2-amine. A probable reaction scheme includes cyclization of the initial N-dichloroethyl amide to N-sulfonyl-2,3-diaryl-2-chloroaziridine which undergoes isomerization with opening of the three-membered ring to 1-arylsulfonylamino-2-chloro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylethene. The subsequent heterocyclization in the reaction with thiourea is accompanied by aromatization via elimination of the arenesulfonamide fragment.

2-Amino-4-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-1,3-thiazole reacted with highly electrophilic N-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)- and N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides through the exocyclic amino group to give products of nucleophilic addition to the azomethine bond, N-[2,2-di(or 2,2,2-tri)chloro-1-(1,3-thiazol-2-ylamino)ethyl]arenesulfonamides in good yields. Intramolecular heterocyclization of the latter afforded N-[3-(2,2-dichloroethyl)-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazol-5-yl]arenesulfonamides.     

Study of the state of nickel in ion-exchanged NiNaY zeolite by IR spectroscopy using molecular hydrogen adsorbed at low temperatures

The state of nickel cations in NiNaY zeolite subjected to thermal vacuum and oxidative-reductive treatment was analyzed using diffuse reflectance IR spectra of molecular hydrogen, CO, and hydroxy groups. In a sample dehydrated at 570 K, nickel forms oxide particles, which are presumably located in big cavities of a zeolite. Heating of the sample at 670 K results in decomposition of the oxide with the participation of hydroxy groups followed by the formation of stabilized Ni²⁺ cations in large cavities of the zeolite. Calcination of NiNaY zeolite in a hydrogen atmosphere at 730 K leads to Ni²⁺ cation reduction to the metal state and to the formation of acidic hydroxy groups. Nevertheless, Ni²⁺ cations can be regenerated by reoxidation of the reduced sample with oxygen at 670 K and further evacuation at 870 K. Thermal destruction of NiO in the reoxidized sample also proceeds on acidic hydroxy groups, but the temperature of this process is higher than the temperature of oxide decomposition in the initial NiNaY zeolite. The IR spectra of molecular hydrogen complexes with Ni²⁺ cations were observed for the first time. A considerable decrease in the H-H stretching vibration frequency for the coordinated molecules (up to 210 cm’1) can be explained by electron density redistribution between a hydrogen molecule and the cation in the complex     

Functionalization of highly electrophilic <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene) arenesulfonamides with dithiooxamide

Depending on the reactant ratio, dithiooxamide (ethanedithioamide) reacted as N-nucleophile or N,N′-binucleophile with highly electrophilic aldimines, N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)- and N-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)arenesulfonamides, to give the corresponding mono- or bis-adducts, N-[2-polychloro-1-(arylsulfonylamino) ethyl]ethanedithioamides or N,N′-bis[2-polychloro-1-(arylsulfonylamino)ethyl]ethanedithioamides, in good yield.     

New approach to the preparation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-(1-cyanoethyl)arenesulfonamides by reaction of arylsulfonyl imines of polychloroacetaldehydes with acetone cyanohydrin

Reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)- or N-(1-phenyl-2,2-dichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides with acetone cyanohydrin in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate led to the formation of N- (2,2,2-trichloro-1-cyanoethyl)- or N-(2-phenyl-2,2-dichloro-1-cyanoethyl)arenesulfonamides.
