Reactions of 1-Halo-4-nitroanthraquinones with C-Nucleophiles

1-Fluoro-4-nitroanthraquinone reacts with C-nucleophiles, yielding the corresponding fluorine replacement products. Reactions of 1-chloro-4-nitroanthraquinone with the same nucleophiles result in formation of mixtures of dechlorination and denitration products whose ratio is determined by both charge and orbital interactions. Steric structure of the nucleophile can also affect the regioselectivity of substitution.     

Acid-Catalyzed Isomerization of 1-Halo-2-Arylthioalk-1-Enes

1-Halo-2-arylthioalk-1-enes, the anti-Markovnikov adducts of 1,2-halosulfenylation of terminal alkynes containing propargyl hydrogen atoms, were found to transform into a mixture of E - and Z -isomers of 1-halo-2-arylthioalk-2-enes under acid catalysis conditions. A plausible mechanism of rearrangement is proposed. The Markovnikov adducts 2-halo-1-arylthioalk-1-enes were partially converted into their cis -form under similar conditions. The halosulfenylation products of 1-phenylpent-1-yne did not show the signs of double-bond migration in the presence of an acid; only partial isomerization of the E - to the Z -isomers took place.     

Stacking Control by Molecular Symmetry of Sterically Protected Phthalocyanines

The synthesis and characterization of two phthalocyanine (Pc) structural isomers, 1 and 2, in which four 2,6-di(hexyloxy)phenyl units were attached directly to the 1,8,15,22- or 1,4,15,18-positions of the Pc rings, are described. Both Pcs 1 and 2 exhibited low melting points, i.e., 120 and 130 °C respectively, due to the reduction in intermolecular π-π interaction among the Pc rings caused by the steric hindrance of 2,6-dihexyloxybenzene units. The thermal behaviors were investigated with temperature-controlled polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, and absorption spectral analyses. Pc 1, having C_4h molecular symmetry, organized into a lamellar structure containing lateral assemblies of Pc rings. In contrast, the other Pc 2 revealed the formation of metastable crystalline phases, including disordered stacks of Pcs due to rapid cooling from a melted liquid.     

Chemistry of Sterically Protected Bis(Phosphinidene)-Cyclobutenes

Abstract:

Sterically protected low-coordinated phosphorus-containing cyclobutenes were prepared and characterized as well as [4]radialenes. The reactions were studied involving E/Z isomerization, transition-metal complex formation, and coupling reactions catalyzed by some palladium complex ligated with diphosphacyclobutenes.     

Radical Anions of Sterically Protected Polyenes: An ESR and ENDOR Study

Owing to the steric protection by four bulky substituents in the terminal positions 1 and n, several conjugated polyenes could be reduced with K or Cs metal in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) or tetrahydrofuran (THF) to fairly persistent radical anions. These compounds, denoted here as 2 , 3 ,…︁ 7 (which corresponds to the number, \2 n=2, 3, …︁7, of their formal double bonds) are 1,1,n,n-tetra(tert-butyl) derivatives of buta-1,3-diene, hexa-1,3,5-triene, octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene, deca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaene, dodeca-1,3,5,7,9,11-hexaene, and tetradeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13-heptaene. In addition to the six polyenes 2 – 7 with all-trans-configuration, the studies comprised an isomer of 3 , the trans,cis,trans-triene, c -3 . The radical anions 2 ^.− – 7 ^.− and c -3 ^.− were characterized by their hyperfine data acquired with ESR, ENDOR, and TRIPLE-resonance spectroscopy. The ¹H-coupling constants comply with the spin distribution predicted for the radical anions of such `linear' π-systems by simple MO models. Ion pairs formed with K⁺ in DME were loose but became tighter with Cs⁺ in THF. Propensity to ion pairing decreased with the lengthening of the π-system on going from 2 ^.− to 3 ^.− – 7 ^.−. Hyperfine data are likewise reported for the radical anions of all-trans-polyenes 8 and 9 , in which two tert-butyl substituents in one terminal position of 2 and 3 , respectively, were replaced by CN groups.     

Novel Selectivity in Carbohydrate Reactions Ii. Selective 6-O-Glycosylation of a Partially Protected Lactoside 1 2

Abstract

A novel regioselectivity was observed in the silver salt promoted glycosylation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 3′-O-benzyl-β-D-lactoside using acetobromogalactose as the glycosyl donor. The resulting trisaccharide, obtained in 67% yield, was shown to have the newly formed β-glycosidic linkage at the O-6 position of the lactoside. This was confirmed by synthesis of the authentic product by an alternate route. The novel regioselectivity observed is attributed to the presence of the axially disposed 4′-OH group in the lactoside acceptor.

     

Gas-Phase Molecular Structure of 2-Halo-1,3-dihetero-2-phospholanes

The molecular structure of 2-chloro-1,3-dithia-2-phospholane was determined using gas-phase electron diffraction and ab initio calculations. The heteroring in the molecule has an asymmetric structure like a symmetric P-envelope twisted about the C-C bond with an axial P-Cl bond. Geometric parameters of the molecule and mean vibration amplitudes were determined. The molecular structure of 2-chloro-1,3-oxathia-2-phospholane was predicted. The molecule in the gas phase has two conformers [twisted C(O)- and C(S)-envelope] with an axial P-Cl bond.

Unique Bora[1]ferrocenophanes with Sterically Protected Boron: A Potential Gateway to Helical Polyferrocenes

Silicon‐bridged [1]ferrocenophanes are a versatile class of monomers to obtain well‐defined metallopolymers, however, their boron‐bridged analogues are far less utilized despite being significantly higher strained. We assumed that the reactivity of known bora[1]ferrocenophanes towards ring‐opening polymerization is hampered by π‐donating R₂N groups at the bridging boron atom and therefore prepared the first bora[1]ferrocenophanes lacking such electronic stabilization. The new, isolated ferrocenophane with a 2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl group attached to the bridging boron atom exhibits the most tilted Cp rings among all isolated strained sandwich compounds [α(DFT)=33.3°] with a measured record value of the bathochromic shift (λ_max=516 nm). Attempts to purify the mesityl analogue by vacuum sublimation transformed this monomer to a purple‐colored polymer that resulted in Cotton effects in circular dichroism spectroscopy. DFT calculations revealed a left‐handed helical structure for this polymer. This is the first evidence for a polyferrocene with a chiral secondary structure.     

3-Halo-4-imino-2-azetidinones via acykchloroformamidines

α-Haloacid Halides react with carbodimides to yield acylchloroformamidines which upon treatment with trithylamine undergo conversion to 3-halo4-imino-2-azetidinones in good yiels. Two pathways are possible for this conversion and these are discussed.     

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Hydrogen Atom Exchange Reactions in Sterically Hindered Hydroxylamine-Nitroxyl Radical Systems

Rate constants and activation energies were determined for the forward and reverse hydrogen exchange reactions in systems involving a sterically hindered hydroxylamine and a nitroxyl radical of dihydroquinoline, tetrahydroquinoline, diphenylamine, imidazoline, pyrrolidine, or piperidine. The equilibrium constants and heats of these reactions were determined, and the dissociation energies of the NO-H bonds in the hydroxylamines were estimated.     

Synthesis of 1-[(3-Halo-1-Hydroxy-2-Propoxy)methyl]uracil and Thymine as Potential Antiviral Agents

3′-Halogen acyclonucleoside analogs have been prepared. The starting material, benzyl glycidyl ether (5) , prepared from eplchlorohydrin and sodium benzyloxidc, underwent ring opening by soft halogen ions to give l-benzyloxy-3-fluoro-2-propanol (6) , l-bcnzyloxy-3-chloro-2-propanol (7) , and l-benzyloxy-3- bromo-2-propanol (8) respectively. The treatment of 5 with lithium iodide in the presence of acetic acid provided 1-benzyloxy-3-iodo-2-propanol (9) . The treatment of 8 with sodium iodide in anhydrous acetone also produced l-benzyloxy-3-iodo-2-propanol (9) . Chloromethylation of these halohydrins 6-9 using paraformaldehyde and hydrogen chloride gas produced the chloromcthyl ethers 10-13 . These chloromethyl ethers without further purification were allowed to react with the silylated bases 16-17 , previously prepared by silylating the bases 14-15 with HMDS in the presence of ammonium sulfate to give 1- [(l-benzyloxy-3-halogen-2-propoxy)methyl]uracils and thymines 19-25 . The target compounds 26-33 were obtained respectively after the debcnzylation of 18-25 . Compounds 26, 27, 30 and 31 had no significant cell toxicity in the range of concentrations 0.001-20 mM. Compounds 26, 27, 28 and 29 have no significant activity against HSV II (for less than 2 mM there is a cytopathic effect). Compounds 30, 31, 32 and 33 show no activity against HSV II virus even at the level 20 mM.
