Kinetics of N‐bromination of 2‐oxazolidinone

The kinetics of N‐bromination of 2‐oxazolidinone by transfer of Br from sodium hypobromite, N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS), or N‐bromoacetamide (NBA) were determined spectrophotometrically, at pH between 4.6 and 12.45 (depending on the brominating agent). The reaction with hypobromite was of first order with respect to both the hypobromite and the substrate. The bromination of oxazolidinone with NBS (or NBA) has been found to be a reversible process of order one with respect to both NBA (or NBA) and oxazolidinone in the forward direction, and order one with respect to SI (or ACAM) and the resulting N‐bromo‐oxazolidinone in the other. The pH dependence of the reaction rate was in keeping with a mechanism in which all the brominating agents (HOBr, BrO^?, NBS and NBA) react predominantly with the anion of the substrate. Bimolecular bromination rate constants increased in the order BrO^? < NBA < NBS < HOBr. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 36: 642–649, 2004     

Study of reaction between activated acetylenes and N,N′‐diethyl‐2‐thiobarbituric acid in the presence of isocyanides or triphenylphosphine

In a series of separate experiments reaction between N,N′‐diethyl‐2‐thiobarbituric acid and acetylenic diesters in the presence of isocyanides or triphenylphosphine led to highly functionalized 4H‐pyrano[2,3‐d]thiopyrimidine or 1,4‐di‐ionic organophosphorus derivatives. The ¹H NMR spectra of diethyl‐7‐(2,6‐dimethylphenylamino)‐4‐oxo‐2‐thio‐ 1,3‐diethyl‐4H‐pyrano[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐5,6‐dicarboxylate showed dynamic NMR effect that was attributed to restricted rotation around the aryl‐nitrogen single bond. Activation free energy (ΔG^≠) for this process is about 54.85 ± 2 kJ mol⁻¹. Betaines as 1,4‐diionic organophosphorus compounds in this reaction are possessed of two vicinal stereogenic centers and exist in the solution as a mixture of two diastereoisomers. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transient Chemical Oscillations in the 4‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino) Benzoic Acid–Bromate Reaction

The bromination and oxidation of 4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino) benzoic acid (DMABA) by acidic bromate was investigated in a batch reactor through following their redox potential and UV/vis absorption spectra, in which transient oscillations with a long induction time were observed. Different from most of the bromate‐aromatic compound oscillators reported earlier, the addition of metal catalysts such as manganese, cerium, and ferroin does not significantly affect the nonlinear phenomena, but the induction time could be greatly shortened by adding bromide ions as a starting reagent. The reaction between bromine and DMABA was identified through ¹H NMR spectroscopy to form 3‐bromo‐4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino) benzoic acid. The compound 3‐bromo‐DMABA was also found to occur relatively early during the bromate‐DMABA reaction and was determined to be a major component prior to the onset of oscillations. Periodic evolution of 3‐bromo‐4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino) benzoic acid has been detected with a UV/vis spectrophotometer.

The single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis shows that the title molecule forms a two thee‐dimensional network structure by two kinds of hydrogen bond interactions [O(2) H(2)···O(7), O(5) H(5)···O(8)]. Its stability was investigated by acid hydrolysis reaction treated with sulfuric acid, together with the formation of 1,6‐Di‐O‐methoxy‐4‐chloro‐4‐deoxy‐β‐D‐galactopyranose ( 5 ) and 2,2‐Di‐C‐methoxy‐1,4:3,6‐dianhydromannitol ( 6 ). According to the result, the relative stability of the ether bonds in the structure is in the order: C(1) O C(5)≈C(3′) O C(6′)≈C(1′) O C(4′)>C(3) O C(6)≈C(1) O C(2′)>C(2′) O C(5′).
