Organic Syntheses Without Solvent: Preparation of Alkoxyphthalimides and of Alkoxylamines

Alkoxyphthalimides are prepared by alkylation of N-hydroxyphthalimide under solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis without solvent. When conversion of alkoxyphthalimides into alkoxylamines is nearly complete, neat hydrazine hydrate is added at room temperature.

The structures of [Cu(en)(H₂O)₂]SO₄ (I), [Cu(en)₂](NO₃)₂ (II) and [Cu(trien)I]I (III) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. ComplexI is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with unit cell parametera=7.232(1),b=11.725(2),c=9.768(1), =105.50(1)°, andZ=4. ComplexII is also monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, witha=7.978(2),b=9.982(4),c=8.218(3), =111.11(2)°, andZ=2. ComplexIII is orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, witha=8.098(1),b=11.902(1),c=13.682(2), andZ=4. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to finalR values of 0.031, 0.043 and 0.036 for complexesI, II, andIII, respectively. ComplexesI andII show an octahedral coordination geometry. ComplexIII shows a square pyramidal coordination geometry. ComplexI forms infinite monodimensional chains where the SO ₄ ^2– ions acts as a bridge between two neighboringen molecules. The vibrational spectra of these complexes agree well with their crystal structures.

The Properties of Bicyclo[2.2.2]Octane Esters

The physical properties of three types of ester containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane ring are reported and compared with analogousesters based on benzene and cyclohexane rings. The electrooptic properties in twisted nematic displays of mixtures of these esters with cyanobiphenyls and PCH materials are also reported. These show that mixtures based on the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane esters have particularly low temperature dependencies and are therefore better suited for use in multiplexed displays than esters based on benzene and cyclohexane rings.

Furthermore, packing of the molecules in the solid‐state results in aromatic π‐π interactions associated with the aromatic rings of sac‐sac and py‐py.
