Si3S-, Si3Se-, Si3Te-Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and Si3S2-Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

The reaction of trisilirene 1 with propylene sulfide or elemental sulfur produced Si₃S-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 2, which underwent Si–Si insertion of a second S atom forming Si₃S₂-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane 3. Analogous reactions of 1 with elemental Se or Te resulted in the formation of heavier analogues of 2, namely, Si₃Se-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 4 and Si₃Te-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 5.

Synthesis and reactions of ethyl 3-acetyl-8-cyano-6,7-dimethylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-carboxylate and related compounds

The reactions of 3-acetyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl- or 3,4-diethoxycarbonylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives 7a,b , which were prepared by condensation of the 2-aminopyrrole ( 4 ) with ethyl 3-ethoxymethylene-2,4-dioxovalerate ( 5a ) or ethyl ethoxymethyleneoxaloacetate ( 5b ), with diazomethane are described. Thus, reaction of 7a , with diazomethane gave ethyl 2a-acetyl-7-cyano-2a,3a-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-3H -cyclopropa[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3a-carboxylate ( 11 ) in 74% yield, which was readily transformed into the 1-pyrrol-2-yl-pyrrole ( 18 ) by treatment with potassium hydroxide. On the other hand, reaction of 7b with diazomethane afforded three products whose structures were assigned as diethyl 7-cyano-2a,3a-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-3H-cyclopropa[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2a,3a-carboxylate ( 20 ), 6-cyano-7,8-dimethyl-3a,3b,5,9a-tetrahydro-4H -aziridino[c]-1H or 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3a,9a-dicarboxylates ( 21,22 ). Ring Transformation of 20 to 25 was not observed.     

Synthesis of Spiroheterocycles Containing Thiadiazole Thiadiazine and Triazine Moieties from Nitrilimines

Abstract

A series of 5-substituted 1-methyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones was prepared by the reaction of α-amino acid methyl esters with appropriate nitrilimines and treated with phosphorus pentasulfide to afford 5-substituted 1-methyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6-thiones. When 1,2,4-triazin-6-thiones were allowed to react with nitrilimine, the novel 4,6-dimethyl-2,8-di-phenyl-10-substituted-1-thia-3,4,6,7,9-pentaazaspiro[4.5]dec-2,7-dienes were obtained and confirmed by their elemental analyses and spectral data. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity.

Reaction of Red Phosphorus with 4-Methoxystyrene in KOH-DMSO System: One-Pot Synthesis of Tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane Oxide

Abstract

Red phosphorus reacts with 4-methoxystyrene in the KOH-DMSO superbase system (130 °C, 3 h, Ar) in the presence of a small quantity of H₂O to give tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane oxide as the main product in 30% yield. Microwave activation of the reaction (600 W, 6 min) affords basically a mixture of the phosphane oxide and tris[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phosphane (in a ratio of 1:1). When the mixture is exposed to air (r.t., 24 h), the phosphane oxide is formed in 85% yield.

Synthesis and Characterization of Bidentate Cyclotriphosphazene Derivatives

Abstract

Three novel cyclotriphosphazene derivatives were designed. Title compounds were synthesized by the reaction of the dichlorocyclotriphosphazene derivative [N₃P₃Cl₂(O₂C₁₂H₈)₂] with the potassium salt of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and subsequent reduction of aldehyde groups to alcohol groups using sodium borohydride. The bromination reaction was carried out using PBr₃ to give N₃P₃(O₂C₁₂H₈)₂ (OC₆H₄-p-CH₂Br)₂. This compound was employed in reactions with macrocyclic polyamide, imidazole, or morpholine to produce title compounds. The target compounds were characterized using ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS).

Reactivity of Aquadiethylenetriamineplatinum(II) Ion with Disulfide Moiety Cystine: A Kinetic and Mechanistic Approach

Abstract

Substitution reactions of the complex [Pt(dien)H₂O]²⁺ (where dien = diethylentriamine or 1,5-diamino-3-azapentane) with sulfur-containing L-cystine have been studied in a 1.0 × 10^?1 mol dm^?3 aqueous perchlorate medium at various temperatures (298–323 K) and 4.45 ≤ pH ≤ 2.15 using UV-vis spectroscopy. The products obtained have been characterized by their infrared and ¹H NMR datasets at various pH levels and temperatures. From infrared and ¹H NMR data, products have indicated that [Pt(dien)H₂O]²⁺ reacted with L-cystine forming a Pt–S bond at low pH. At high pH, a product complex through the Pt–N bond has been formed. All rate constants have been evaluated from nonlinear double exponential plots. The activation parameters ΔH^# and ΔS^# have been determined using the Eyring equation. The products, S_Ni, and reversible rate constants have been evaluated.
