Selective alkylation of xylenes by alcohols on zeolite catalysts

The peculiarities of catalytic performance of crystalline aluminosilicates of different types and compositions (X, Y including dealuminated Y, mordenite, pentasil ZSM-5), as well as of amorphous aluminosilicate catalyst in conversion of xylene + alcohol mixtures were studied. New data were obtained for alkylation ofo-xylene withtert-butyl alcohol, concerning controlling the selectivity and stability of the zeolite catalysts in reactions proceeding with the participation of water, including the water evolved during the reaction, in particular by controlling the acidic properties and hydrophobycity of the zeolites. A catalyst ensuring production of 1,2-dimethyl-4-tert-butylbenzene (DMTBB) with a 94% yield and selectivity of alcohol conversion to the target product of 94–97% was developed. The catalyst can be used as the basis for a high-performance and environmentally safe method for the synthesis of DMTBB. The catalysts developed can be also used for selective alkylation ofo-xylene by C₃-C₅ alcohols and for alkylation ofm-xylene bytert-butyl alcohol.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Acylation of 2,4,6-tris(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with acetic anhydride in the presence of lithium hydride with subsequent removal of the tert-butoxycarbonyl groups with trifluoroacetic acid leads to 2,4,6-tris(acetonyl)-1,3,5-triazine, the cyclic analog of -cyanoacetone. The special spectral features of this compound compared with triazines obtained previously are discussed.

Di(tert-butylperoxy)triphenylbismuth and the triphenylbismuth-tert-butyl hydroperoxide system transform diethyl ether into ethoxyacetic aldehyde. The latter undergoes further conversions under these reaction conditions to give the corresponding hydroxyperoxide, ethoxyacetic acid, and bismuth(III) acylates.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Heats of solution and neutralization ofLewis acids and bases in acetic anhydride

Heats solution of someLewis acids and bases in acetic anhydride have been determined and the following order of their relative strengths is proposed: SbCl₅>SO₃>SnCl₄>TiCl₄>AsCl₃ and piperidine> n-butylamine>potassium acetate>sodium acetate -picoline>quinoline. Heats neutralization of theseLewis acids and bases in acetic anhydride suggest that the major enthalpy change in these neutralization reactions is due to the combination of a proton and the (CH₂COOCOCH₃)-ion, resulting in the formation of acetic anhydride.

Solutions of alkali soaps and water in fatty acids XI. Correlation between the acid sodium octanoate in the most water-rich part of the L2-phase and the acid soaps in two adjacent phases

The special nature of the outer-most water-rich region of theL ₂-phase in the ternary system sodium octanoate-octanoic acid-water is evidenced by its somewhat turbid appearance and by the character of its equilibria with adjacent phases. The phase contains aggregated acid sodium octanoate which is dispersed in a very dilute aqueous solution of sodium octanoate. The acid octanoate has the composition 1 NaC₈2 HC₈x H₂O and is composed of closely packed amphiphilic units, all with the polar groups in the same direction. This acid soap obviously forms double-layered aggregates with the lipophilic hydrocarbon chains pointing inwards and the polar groups pointing outwards towards the surrounding bulk-water. The phase is formed when octanoic acid is added to theL ₁-phase of the system just above the l.a.c.; in this aqueous solution, the acid reacts with dissolved acid octanoate 1 NaC₈1 HC₈x H₂O and that results in the formation of the slightly soluble acid soap 1 NaC₈ 2 HC₈x H₂O that separates as a new phase, the turbidL ₂ phase. On further addition of octanoic acid, the content of the mentioned acid soap increases until the solution phase is transformed into a liquid crystalline lamellarD-phase with the same acid soap composition. This formation of acid soap 1 NaA2 HA on addition of fatty acid to the dilute soap solution just above the l.a.c., has been known for a long time to occur in various systems containing a long-chain sodium soap. However, at suitably low temperatures, the reaction in these systems does not result in separation of the acid soap in the liquid crystalline, but in the solid crystalline state.     

Radical low-temperature oxidation of dibenzyl sulfide with the triphenylbismuth—tert-butyl hydroperoxide system

The reaction of Ph₃Bi with Bu^tOOH in a mole ratio of 1: 3 in hydrocarbon solvents affords the η²-peroxo complex of triphenylbismuth Ph₃Bi(η²O₂) which oxidizes the C-H bonds of the methylene group of dibenzyl sulfide. The reaction proceeds via the radical mechanism with the formation of intermediate unstable sulfur-containing hydroperoxide. Its decomposition is accompanied by the C-S bond cleavage, resulting in benzaldehyde. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1183–1185, June, 2008.     

Catalytic C-phenylation of methyl acrylate with triphenylantimony(v) dicarboxylates

Triphenylantimony dicarboxylates Ph₃Sb(OAc)₂ and Ph₃Sb(O₂CEt)₂ are efficient C-phenylating agents for methyl acrylate. In the presence of the Pd(OAc)₂, Li₂PdCl₄ or Pd₂(dba)₃(CHCl₃) catalysts in MeCN at 50 °C, methyl cinnamate forms in 70—150% yield with respect to Sb^V. Copper(ii) salts do not increase the reaction yield.     

Cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond in α-glycols under the action of bismuth(v) derivatives

Di(tert-butylperoxy)triphenylbismuth and the triphenylbismuth-tert-butyl hydroperoxide system react with 2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diol, benzopinacol, butane-2,3-diol, and ethane-1,2-diol with the cleavage of the C−C bond of α-glycol to form carbonyl compounds. Both heterolytic (through formation of cyclic triphenylbismuth glycolate) and homolytic cleavage occur. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Solutions of alkali soaps and water in fatty acids XIII. Circumstances that regulate the extension of theL 2-phase and the role of the acid-soaps rich in fatty acid for the occurrence of the phase

A basic requirement for that type ofL ₂-phase which exists in the system sodium octanoate-octanoic acid-water is the formation of acid-soaps. In order for the phase to be formed at all, the temperature must lie above the melting point of the fatty acid so that a reaction in non-aqueous milieu between neutral soap and fatty acid is possible. In order to obtain the characteristic shape and complete extension of the phase in direction of high water content the temperature must be so high that also the hydrated acid-soaps occur in fluid state. On the other hand the temperature cannot be so high that the acid-soaps become unstable.At temperatures at which the phase has obtained its full extension those circumstances differs which in different regions regulate the location of the phase borders; they depend on the composition of the acid soaps and on their amounts. In that part of the phase where the molar ratio between octanoic acid and sodium octanoate lies between 2 and 3 and where one has a continuous transition from reversed to normal structure only the two acid octanoates 1 NaC₈ 2 HC₈ x H₂O and 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O occur and both are at 20 °C in fluid state.At water contents from about 22 % to 40 % the hydrate-water molecules belonging to the first mentioned soap are capable of contributing actively to the formation of large aggregates of acid-soap, a process which however is counteracted by the inmixing of the latter acid-soap. This mixture of the two acid-soaps decides in this region where the border of the phase will lie in direction towards an increased content of sodium octanoate; the result is that in spite of the fact that the hydration is increased, the border is only slowly displaced towards a higher content of fatty acid. As soon as the hydration of the acid octanoates has been completed and the additional water occurs as unbound bulkwater, the location of the phase boundary will no longer be influenced by the water content — now it will be the amphiphilic composition of the acid-soaps that determines the location of the border and it remains at the molar ratio 2.5 between octanoic acid and sodium octanoate at water contents from about 40% and up to 82%.In the direction of decreasing content of neutral sodium octanoate and increased content of water theL ₂-phase both at the highest content of fatty acid and the highest contents of water will be in equilibrium with the water-richL ₁-phase; in the first mentioned region with theL ₁-phase below the lac where at the border it is saturated with octanoic acid and in the latter region with theL ₁-phase just above the lac, where the dilute sodium octanoate solution contains dissolved 1 NaC₈ 1HC₈ x H₂O. In the large central part of theL ₂-phase, from about 20 % to about 86 % of water, the location of the border is dominated by the acid octanoate 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O and that makes an equilibrium with theL ₁-phase impossible; instead one has an equilibrium via a two-phase zone between the amphiphile-rich region of theL ₂-phase and its water-rich region. In the first region the location of the border is regulated by the decreasing capability of the hydrated acid octanoate 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O to dissolve octanoic acid; in the latter it is regulated by the fact that 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O is the most fatty acid-rich acid-soap that is formed and that the octanoic acid is very little soluble in water and in the aqueous solution of this acidsoap.The middle part of theL ₂-phase, especially the region between about 55 % and 82 % of water, constitutes a direct continuation of the liquid crystalline lamellarD-phase. The liquid crystalline character of theD-phase is lost at the transition, but the lamellar organization is retained. That the molecules at least up to a water content of about 40 % are of the original reversed type and have an elongated shape with a central part of hydrated polar groups, from which core the hydrocarbon chains extend in two opposite directions, is the reason to that they, at crowding, form transient layer-like agglomerates of tightly packed more or less parallel molecules; this facilitates the transformation to coherent double amphiphilic layers, in which all molecules lie with the hydrated polar groups outwards toward coherent domains of bulk-water, without another liquid phase occurs.     

Polymeric membrane sodium-selective electrodes based on calix[4]arene ionophores

Six kinds of tetra alkylester type calix[4]arene derivatives, (R₁=R₂=CH₃1, C₂H₅2, C₃H₇3,n-C₄H₉4,t-C₄H₉5,n-C₁₀H₂₁6), a diethyl-didecyl mixed ester type (R₁=C₂H₅, R₂ =C₁₀H₂₁7), and three kinds of lower rim bridged types (R₁=C₂H₅, R₂–R₂=(CH₂)₁₀8, (CH₂)₁₂9, (CH₂)₂(OCH₂CH₂)₃10) were characterized by electrochemical measurement to elucidate the effect of the length of the alkyl group of alkoxycarbonyl substituents on Na⁺ selectivity. To obtain excellent Na⁺ selective ionophores, introduction of short chain alkyl groups rather than long chain ones, such as a decyl group, and maintenance of sufficient solubility of the calix[4]arene derivatives in the membrane solvent are required concurrently. Among the calix[4]arenes tested, 25,26,27,28-tetrakis[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene2, and the diethyl-didecyl mixed ester type derivative7 are the best ionophores for a Na⁺ selective electrode. On the other hand, sodium selectivity of the bridged type derivative9 is comparable or even superior to that of the known bis(12-crown-4).This paper is dedicated to the commemorative issue on the 50th anniversary of calixarenes.     

Indium(III) complexes with some salicylidene aromaticSchiff bases

In(III) complexes with salicylidene aromaticSchiff bases have been prepared. The nature of the complexes has been studied by microanalysis of the solid complexes, conductometric titration, uv and ir spectrophotometric measurements. The complexes are of the type 11 and 21 [Ligand: In(III)] depending upon theSchiff base. The tendency of the salicylideneSchiff base molecule towards complex formation with In(III) is found to depend largely on the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bond established between the aldehydic OH group and C=N. Furthermore, it is concluded that theseSchiff bases cordinate to In(III) as tri- or bidentate ligands depending upon the molecular structure of theSchiff base (not as monodentate ligand as previously described). The high molar absorbance of the 12 In(III) complex with salicylidene-o-hydroxyaniline I (17,800 mol^–1 cm²) can be applied for the micro determination of small amounts of Indium as low as 0.57 g/ml solution.

Die Bildungstendenz der Komplexe mit denSchiff-Basen als drei- oder zweizähnige Liganden hängt weitgehend von Stärke und Ausbildungsmöglichkeit von H-Brückenbindungen ab. Einer der beschriebenen Komplexe ist zur photometrischen Mikrobestimmung von In(III) geeignet.

     

Heats of solution of 1∶1 electrolytes in 1-propanol,and derived enthalpies of transfer from water

Heats of solution of 13 11 electrolytes in 1-propanol have been determined calorimetrically at various electrolyte concentrations, and extrapolated to zero concentration to give H _s ^o values for these electrolytes. Together with literature data on three additional 11 electrolytes, these measurements yield a self-consistent set of single-ion enthalpies of transfer from water to 1-propanol. Values are tabulated for 10 univalent cations and five univalent anions. It is shown that the H _t ^o (Ph ₄ As⁺)=H _t ^o (Ph ₄ B^–) assumption yields chemically reasonable single-ion values. Using this assumption, it may be deduced that all the univalent ions studied have about the same enthalpy in 1-propanol as in methanol.     

Solid-phase bromination of hindered phenols

The solid-Phase bromination of a series oftert-butyl-substituted phenols withN-bromosuccinimide and dioxane dibromide afforded halogenated cyclohexadienones, quinobromides. Under the extrusion conditions, the latter underwent further transformations, mainly, debromination. A new reaction, dioxane dibromide catalyzed anhydroheterocyclization of 2,2-dihydroxy-3,3,5,5-tetra-tert-butyldiphenyl to 2,4,6,8-tetra-tert-butyldibenzofuran, was discovered and the mechanism of this reaction was proposed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

     

Morphology, structure and constitution of metastable single-phase Ti1-xAlxN films grown by reactive MSIP

Metastable, single phase, polycrystalline Ti_1–x Al _x N hard layers were deposited on HSS-substrates with reactive magnetron sputtering ion plating (MSIP). The substrate temperature was 400 °C, the bias –60 V, the argon pressure 1.2 Pa and the sputter power 6 W cm^–2. Compound targets with a Ti:Al ratio of 75/25, 50/50 and 25/75, expressed in at-%, were sputtered. The nitrogen reactive gas pressure during sputtering was 8.4 × 10^–2 Pa for the 7525 target and 1.08 × 10^–1 Pa for the 5050 and 2575 targets. The Ti_1–x Al _x N layers grew with x=0.26, 0.54 and 0.75, as determined with EPMA. Thin film XRD and HEED structure analysis showed that the Ti_0.74Al_0.26N layer had grown as B1 structure (a₀0.4214 nm) with [211] texture, the Ti_0.46Al_0.54N layer likewise as B1 structure (a₀0.4154) with [111] texture, but the Ti_0.25Al_0.75N as B4 structure (a₀0.317 nm and c₀0.5014 nm) with [110] texture. Pronounced columnar growth was observed with HR-SEM in the fractured surface of the cubic layers. The mean grain size, and consequently the surface roughness, diminished with increasing Al-content of the layer.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c.

Absorption spectra of 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazole ethiodides in organic solvents of varying polarities and determination of the formation constant of the charge transfer complex formed

The electronic absorption spectra of some 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazole ethiodides are studied in organic solvents of different polarities. The shorter wavelength band appearing in the visible region is assigned to an intramolecular charge transfer (CT)-transition originating from the phenyl moiety to the positively charged hetero ring, while the longer wavelength one is due to an intermolecular CT-transition from the iodide ion to the 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazolinium cation. These assignments are based on the nature of the aldehydic residue and effects of solvent, concentration, and temperature on both the position and absorptivity of the CT complex-band. It is concluded that the CT complex formed will be highly solvated inDMF, DMSO, ethanol and methanol relative to in CHCl₃, dioxane and acetone. The formation constant of the CT complex in solutions of different polarities is determined at different temperatures. Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters H ^o, G ^o and S ^o for complex formation are calculated and discussed.

Divalent 3d metal chloride adducts with 2′-deoxyadenosine

Summary Adducts of 2-deoxyadenosine (dado) with chlorides of dipositive 3d metal ions (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) were prepared by boiling, under reflux, mixtures of ligand and the metal salt in HC(OEt)₃·EtOH. The solid complexes isolated are either 21 or 11 adducts of dado and metal chloride,i.e.: M(dado)₂Cl₂ (M=Co or Cu), M(dado)₂Cl₂·2H₂O (M=Mn or Zn), Fe(dado)Cl₂ and Ni(dado)Cl₂·2H₂O. The 21 adducts are monomeric distorted tetrahedral (M=Co or Cu) or hexacoordinated (M=Mn or Zn). The 11 complexes are apparently single-bridged linear polymeric species, involving a [M-(dado)]_x backbone (M=Fe or Ni), two terminal Cl- and for M=Ni, two aqua ligands. Terminal dado is most probably N(7)-bound, while bidentate bridging dado bindsvia N(1), N(7).Presented in part at the XXVIII ICCC, see ref. 1.     

Spectrophotometric study of the reaction of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt and α-nitroso-β-naphthol

The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt are studied by conductometric titration and spectrophotometric methods in buffer solutions of differentpH. The study proved the possible formation of (11), (12) and (13) complexes for Co(II) while Ni(II) forms (11) and (12) complexes (metal:ligand) only. The factors affecting complex formation are established and the formation constants of the complexes are evaluated. The ir spectra of the solid complexes with -nitroso--naphthol revealed that the ligand exhibits the nitrosophenol structure and that the reaction takes place through proton displacement from the OH-group.
