Free-radical chain oxidation of 1,4-dioxane inhibited by 2-thio-6-aminouracil

The effect of 2-thio-6-aminouracil on the oxygen uptake kinetics has been studied in 1,4-dioxane free-radical chain oxidation as a model system. The presence of a thiocarbonyl group in the 2-position of the uracil ring makes 6-aminouracil highly reactive towards 1,4-dioxane peroxy radicals. The rate constant of the 1,4-dioxane peroxy radical interaction with 2-thio-6-aminouracil has been measured to be k₇ = (3.0 ± 0.5) × 10⁵ L mol^–1 s^–1 (333 K). The stoichiometric inhibition factor f = 1.1 ± 0.1 has been determined.     

Inhibiting effect of 6-methyluracil derivatives on the free -radical oxidation of 1,4-dioxane

The antioxidation activity of 5-substituted 6-methyluracils was quantitatively estimated in the model system of initiated radical-chain oxidation of 1,4-dioxane. The rate constants of the reactions of 1,4-dioxane peroxide radicals with 6-methyluracil (1), 6-methyl-5-piperidinouracil (2), 6-methyl-5-morpholinomethyluracil (3), 6-methyl-5-morpholinouracil (4), 6-methyl-5-methylaminouracil (5), 5-ethylamino-6-methyluracil (6), and 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil (7) were measured. Among compounds 1–7, derivative 7 is most efficient with an inhibition rate constant of (5.2±0.1) · 10⁴ L mol^-1 s^-1 (60 °C).     

Antiradical activity of 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil in the radical chain oxidation of ethylbenzene as the model system

The antiradical activity of 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil was quantitatively measured in the initiated radical chain oxidation of ethylbenzene as the model system. The rate constant of the reaction of 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil with the ethylbenzene peroxyl radical at 333 K was found: k ₇ = (2.1 ± 0.3) × 10⁵ L mol^?1 s^?1. The kinetics of 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil consumption in the course of the radical chain oxidation of ethylbenzene was studied. The stoichiometric inhibition factor was determined to be f = 2.     

Free-radical chain oxidation of 1,4-dioxane and styrene in the presence of fullerene C60

The antiradical activity of fullerene C₆₀ was studied for the oxidation of 1,4-dioxane and styrene initiated by azobisisobutyronitrile and benzoyl peroxide as model reactions. The effective rate constants of the reaction of peroxyl radicals with fullerene C₆₀ (k ₇) and the stoichiometric inhibition factor (f _eff) were determined in air ( $P_{O_2 }$ = 0.21 atm) and oxygen ( $P_{O_2 }$ = 1.0 atm). The rate of the liquid-phase oxidation of 1,4-dioxane does not depend on $P_{O_2 }$ , and the effective rate constant of inhibition is k ₇ = (2.4 ± 0.2) × 10⁴ L mol^?1 s^?1. Chain termination in the oxidation of styrene occurs when C₆₀ reacts with both the peroxyl radicals (k ₇ = (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10³ L mol^?1 s^?1) and alkyl (k ₈ = 1.07 × 10⁷ L mol^?1 s^?1) radicals.     

Characterization of two linear chain compounds: Ferromagnet NiCl2(CH3OH)2(1,4-dioxane)0.5 (1) and paramagnet [NiCl2(H2O)2(1,4-dioxane)](1,4-dioxane) (2)

The solvent-mediated crystal-to-crystal transformation was observed from yellow crystal of NiCl₂(CH₃OH)₂(1,4-dioxane)_0.5 (1) to green crystal of [NiCl₂(H₂O)₂(1,4-dioxane)](1,4-dioxane) (2) under high humidity or adding of H₂O in CH₃OH/1,4-dioxane solution. The μ-Cl₂ bridge in 1 replaced by 1,4-dioxane bridge in 2. In 1, the chlorine-bridged linear chains of NiCl₂(CH₃OH)₂ and 1,4-dioxane molecules stack along the b- and c-axis alternatively with hydrogen bonds intrachain, interchain, between chain and solvent. These hydrogen bonds and dipolar interaction between ferromagnetic coupling chlorine-bridged chains result in long-range ferromagnetic ordering at 3.1 K and a strong frequency dependence of the ac-susceptibilities associated to domain structures with very large shape anisotropy was observed below 3.1 K. In 2, layers of 1,4-dioxane-bridged linear chains of NiCl₂(H₂O)₂(1,4-dioxane) are intercalated by layer of 1,4-dioxane molecules with hydrogen bonds between chain and solvent. Compound 2 is paramagnet to 2 K.

Oxidation of 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with molecular oxygen in the presence of copper(II) chloride in aqueous solution

Oxidation of 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with molecular oxygen in the presence of copper(II) chloride involves formation of a 2 : 1 complex with copper(II). The rates of consumption of initial 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil and oxygen were determined in the temperature range from 40 to 80°C. A probable reaction mechanism implies fixation and activation of molecular oxygen on the copper(II) complex with 5-hydroxy-6-methyluracil with formation of active oxygen species that are responsible for hydroxylation of the double C⁵=C⁶ bond in the uracil molecule.     

Antioxidant activity of uracil derivatives

The antioxidant activity of the uracil derivatives as inhibitors is estimated. The antiradical activity of the compounds is quantitatively characterized in terms of the effective rate constant of inhibition, fk _In.     

The crystal structure of 3-methyluracil from X-ray powder diffraction data

The crystal structure of 3-methyluracil has been determined ab initio by conventional monochromatic X-ray powder diffraction data. The crystal data are: orthorombic, a=6.6294(1), b=13.1816(3), c=6.53938(9) (Å), V=571.45(3) (ų), space group Pbnm, Z=8. The structure was solved by direct methods and the final Rietveld refinement converged to R_p=0.0398, R_wp=0.0528, R_Bragg=0.0294. The crystal structure exhibits endless chains of planar molecules, connected via head-to-tail N-H?O hydrogen bonds.     

4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide-based anion receptors: employing the naphthalimide N-H moiety in the cooperative binding of dihydrogenphosphate

The 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide-based anion receptor 3 binds dihydrogenphosphate with 1:1 stoichiometry through cooperative hydrogen bonding to a naphthalimide N-H and thiourea N-H groups. This was clearly established from ¹H NMR titration experiments in DMSO-d₆ where a substantial shift in the resonance for the naphthalimide N-H was observed concomitant with the expected thiourea N-H chemical shift migration upon successive additions of H₂PO₄⁻. However, whilst ¹H NMR titration experiments indicate that 3 was capable of binding other anions such as acetate, the naphthalimide N-H does not participate and the N-H resonance was essentially invariant during the titration. The lack of cooperative binding in this instance was justifiable on steric grounds.     

Complexes of Uracil (2,4-Dihydroxypyrimidine) Derivatives

Equilibrium studies have been carried out on complex formation of M²⁺ ions (M=Co, Ni, and Zn) with L = thymine, 6-chloromethyluracil, 5-hydroxymethyluracil, uracil, 6-methyluracil, and 6-umpm (dimethyl 6-uracilmethylphosphonate) in aqueous solution, at 25 ^∘;C and an ionic strength of I=0.1 mol⋅L⁻¹ (KNO₃). Potentiometric results indicate the formation of ML species (coordination via N3) for Co(II) and Ni(II) as well as a hydroxo complex MLH₋₁—with a deprotonated water of the inner coordination sphere. Titrations of Zn(II) confirmed both the existence of ML and MLH₋₁ species with 6-chloromethyluracil as well as 5-hydroxymethyluracil, whereas for uracil, thymine, and 6-methyluracil the only species accepted pH-metrically was MLH₋₁. For all the ligands under study the complexation with Zn(II) was reinvestigated by means of ion-selective electrodes (ISE). The role of substituents is discussed.     

Supramolecular ensembles with intermolecular hydrogen bonds: The synthesis and structure of (H2Phda)[SnF3]2 and (H2Bipy)[SnF6]

The structures of the compounds (H₂Phda)[SnF₃]₂ (I) and (H₂Bipy)[SnF₆] (II) have been determined. The main structural elements of I are anionic ([SnF₃] _n ^n? ) polymer chains and 1,4-phenylenediamine ([C₆H₄(NH₃)₂]²⁺) cations. The coordination polyhedron of Sn²⁺ is a trigonal bipyramid with a stereochemically active lone pair in the equatorial plane. The [SnF₃E] _n ^n? chains are crosslinked by phenylenediamine cations through N-H...F hydrogen bonds, resulting in supramolecular ensembles. The structure of II is built of separate [SnF₆]^2? complexes and 4,4′-bipyridinium ((C₁₀H₁₀N₂)²⁺) cations linked by bifurcate N-H...F hydrogen bonds. These bonds combine the [SnF₆]^2? complexes into supramolecular layers alternating along the [100] direction with a period of 1/2a.     

Antioxidant Activity of 2-Aminothiazoles Containing a Diterpene Fragment in the Model System of the Liquid-Phase Radical-Chain Oxidation of 1,4-Dioxane

The antioxidant activity of 2-aminothiazoles containing a diterpene fragment in a model system of initiated radical-chain oxidation of 1,4-dioxane was evaluated. The compounds exhibited different inhibitory activities depending on their structure. The effective rate constant of the interaction of substituted 2-aminothiazoles with the 1,4-dioxane peroxyl radical was measured. 2-Aminothiazoles obtained by the chemical transformations of maleopimaric acid N-phenylamide showed higher reactivity with the peroxyl radical.

4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carbohydrazide 1,1-dioxide-oxalohydrazide (1:1): X-ray structure and DFT calculations

The title compound, 4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carbohydrazide 1,1-dioxide-oxalohydrazide (1:1), is determined using X-ray diffraction techniques and the molecular structure is also optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level using density functional theory (DFT). The asymmetric unit consists of four independent molecules. The oxalohydrazide molecules have the centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. Each thiazine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. Intermolecular C-H...O, N-H...O and N-H...N hydrogen bonds produce R ₂ ² (10), R ₂ ² (13), R ₃ ³ (12) and R ₃ ³ (15) rings, which lead to one-dimensional polymeric chains. An extensive three-dimensional supramolecular network of N-H...N, N-H...O, C-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds is responsible for crystal structure stabilization.     

The preparation,characterization and reactivity of the cyclometallosilane,cyclo-1,1-di-h5-cyclopentadienyltitana-2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,-octaphenylpentasilane, (h5-C5H5)2TiSi(C6H5)2[Si(C6H5)2]2Si(C6H5)2

Titanium has been incorporated into a catenated silicon ring by means of the salt elimination reaction of dichlorodi-h⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium(IV), (I), with 1,4-dilithiooctaphenyltetrasilane, Li₂Si₄(C₆H₅)₈, to yield the title compound (II). II was characterized as a cyclometallopolysilane by means of elemental analyses, base catalyzed hydrolyses, molecular weight determination, infrared and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Electronic spectral data and electrochemical data are also discussed and support the formulation of II as a disubstituted (h⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ti^IV derivative. The reactivity of II, with CHCl₃, is described in terms of a radical decomposition pathway.     

Single crystal X-ray structure of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)phenol 1,4-dioxane hemisolvate

The title compound (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)phenol is synthesized and studied by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method.

Copper(II) bromide complexes with acyclic and cyclic pyrimidine-containing phane ligands

Complexes of copper(II) bromide with cyclic and isostructural acyclic phane ligands containing derivatives of pyrimidine nucleobases (cytosine and uracil) were synthesized and characterized. In two cyclic pyrimidinophanes used, the macrocycles included two 6-methylthiocytosine and one 6-methyluracil units linked by polymethylene chains (L³) and two 6-methyluracil units linked by N-containing bridges (L⁵). Ligand L³ and its isostructural acyclic analogs are coordinated by the Cu²⁺ ion through the same donor sites (the ring N atoms of the thiocytosine units). The coordination polyhedra of the Cu atom in complexes with cyclic and acyclic ligands are different. Ligand L⁵ and its isostructural acyclic analog also form copper(II) complexes with different coordination polyhedra involving different donor sites. The acyclic ligand is coordinated by the Cu²⁺ ion via the bridging N atom, while cyclic ligand L⁵, via the uracil CO groups (the bridging N atoms become protonated). The resulting complexes are dielectrics.     

On the structure of the radical addition product of 2-benzoxypentafluoropropene with 1,4-dioxane

The structure of the addition reaction product of 2-benzoxypentafluoropropene [CF₂ = C(CF₃)OCOC₆H₅] with 1,4-dioxane was investigated by the crystallographic analysis of the single crystal to conclude that the 2,6-disubstitution of 1,4-dioxane took place, on the contrary to the assumption that the reaction would take place at the 2- and 5-positions based on the product structure of 2-benzoxypentafluoropropene with tetrahydrofuran. Modified polyaddition reaction mechanism of bis(α-trifluoromethyl-β,β-difluorovinyl) terephthalate [CF₂ = C(CF₃)OCO-C₆H₄-COOC(CF₃) = CF₂] with 1,4-dioxane including 1,5-radical shift mechanism is proposed.     

Polymerization of phenylacetylene by WCl6·Ph4Sn: Synthesis of high polymer achieved by selection of solvents

Phenylacetylene was polymerized by WCl₆·Ph₄Sn (1:1) in 1,4-dioxane to provide in high yield a polymer whose molecular weight reached 1 × 10⁵. The polymerization also proceeded in other oxygen-containing solvents (ethers, esters, and ketones) but the polymer molecular weights were lower than 1 × 10⁴. Certain hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexene, tetralin, and indan also afforded high-molecular-weight polyphenylacetylene [M _n = (5–8) × 10⁴], as compared with those (M _n ≤ 1.5 × 10⁴) obtained in conventional aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene. A high polymer (M _n = 1.6 × 10⁵) was also formed from β-naphthylacetylene in 1,4-dioxane. It was inferred that the active hydrogens of these solvents prevent the formed polymer from being decomposed by a radical mechanism and/or modify the nature of active species.
