Synthesis and some properties of n,s-divinyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole

N,S-Divinyl-2-mercapto benzimidazole was obtained by reaction of 2-mercaptodimidazole with acetylene under pressure in the presence of heavy metal salts. N-Vinyl-S-ethyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole was synthesized by hydrogenization of the product on a nickel catalyst. A high-melting polymer is obtained from N,S-divinyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole under free-radical conditions.

Kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of cumyl hydroperoxide in the presence of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole

2-Mercaptobenzimidazole reacts with cumyl hydroperoxide to give radicals. This accounts for the initiating effect of this compound in the autoxidation of isopropylbenzene and ethylbenzene. On the other hand, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole is a weak inhibitor in the low-temperature initiated oxidation of alkylbenzenes. Donetsk State University, 24 Universitetskaya St., 340055 Donetsk, Ukraine.

Kinetic and spectral properties of the intermediates formed in the pulse radiolysis of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole

The reactions of primary species of water radiolysis such as e^- _aq, H* and *OH, and some specific one electron reductants and oxidants with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole have been studied at various pHs. *OH radical reaction with MBZ at pH 7 gave a transient species having absorption maxima (λ_max) at 330 and 590 nm. The transient species (pK_a = 3.6) was found to be neutral at this pH and was a mild oxidant. The initial transient species formed by the reaction of MBZ with e^{- aq} at pH 7 and with H atom at pH 0 were found to react with the parent molecule to form another transient species which has an absorption spectrum similar to that obtained by *OH radical reaction with λ_max at 590 nm. However the reaction is not quantitative. The kinetic, spectral, acid-base and redox properties of the transient species are reported.     

Temperature dependence of the rate constant for the reaction OH + H2S in He,N2, and O2

The rate constants of the reaction between OH and H₂S in He, N₂, and O₂ over the temperature range 245–450 K have been determined using the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence technique. At 299 K, k₁ = (4.4 ± 0.7) × 10^?12 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The temperature dependence of the rate constant can be fitted either by k₁ = 5.6 × 10^?12 exp(?57/T) or by k₁ = (3.8 × 10^?19)T^2.43 exp(732/T) to within 8 and 9%, respectively. However, the non-Arrhenius behavior can be confidently confirmed. The absence of the pressure dependence and the third-body effect at low temperature suggest that the complex formation mechanism is not important over the temperature range of our study.     

Quantum study of the N+N(2) exchange reaction: state-to-state reaction probabilities, initial state selected probabilities, Feshbach resonances, and product distributions

We report a detailed three-dimensional time-dependent quantum dynamics study of the state-to-state N+N(2) exchange scattering in the 2.1-3.2 eV range using a recently developed ab initio potential energy surface (PES). The reactive flux arrives at the dividing surface in the asymptotic product region in a series of six packets, instead of a single packet. Further study shows that these features arise from the "Lake Eyring" region of the PES, a region with a shallow well between two transition states. Trappings due to Feshbach resonances are found to be the major cause of the time delay. A detailed analysis of the Feshbach resonance features is carried out using an L(2) calculation of the metastable states in the "Lake Eyring" region. Strong resonance features are found in the state-to-state and initial state selected reaction probabilities. The metastable states with bending motions and/or bending coupled with stretching motions are found to be the predominant source of the resonance structure. Initial state selected reaction probabilities further indicate that the lifetimes of the metastable states with bending motions in the "Lake Eyring" region are longer than those of states with stretching motions and thus dominate the reactive resonances. Resonance structures are also visible in some of the integral cross sections and should provide a means for future experimental observation of the resonance behavior. A study of the final rotational distributions shows that, for the energy range studied here, the final products are distributed toward high-rotational states. Final vibrational distributions at the temperatures 2000 and 10,000 K are also reported.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives. I

The syntheses of some 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (I) derivatives have been described. While preparing such compounds it has been observed that I reacts predominantly as the thione under anhydrous reaction conditions, and as the thiol in the presence of an alkali. Strutures of all of the nine compounds have been established with the help of spectral methods including ¹³C nmr spectroscopy of the two compounds (II and III).     

Influence of N-hexadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium nitrate on the dehydrobromination reaction of 2-phenylethyl derivatives

The basis dehydrobromination of p-substituted 2-phenylethyl bromides promoted by hydroxide ion has been studied in micelles of N-hexadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium nitrate (CTANO₃). The pseudophase ion exchange model can be adapted to explain the kinetic results at low hydroxide ion concentration, i.e., less than 0.075 M of NaOH. At high hydroxide ion concentration in solution the applied model does not describe the kinetic results unless the empirical variations are applied for the mol ratio of reactive ion to micellar head group (β) and the binding constant of the organic reagent to the micelle (K_s).     

N2在Pd金属表面的吸附行为

对Pd原子采用相对论有效原子实势(RECP/SDD), N原子采用AUG-cc-pVTZ基函数, 利用B3LYP方法计算了PdN和PdN2分子的微观结构以及不同温度下的热力学函数. 以气态分子总能量中的振动能EV代替该分子处于固态时的振动能量, 以电子运动和振动运动熵SEV代替分子处于固态的熵的近似方法, 计算了不同温度下金属Pd与N2反应的ΔHӨ、ΔSӨ、ΔGӨ及氮化反应平衡压力, 导出了氮化反应平衡压力与温度的关系. 由此可看出, 在常压及298.15～998.15 K温度条件下, N2在金属Pd表面的吸附过程以Pd(s) + N2 = PdN2(s)反应进行. 计算得出在标准条件下, PdN(s)的生成焓为254.37 kJ·mol-1, PdN2(s)的生成焓为－80.59 kJ·mol-1. 并与Pd氢化反应平衡压力比较, 得到平衡常数Kp(N2)比Kp(H2)约小两个数量级, 说明N2较难被金属Pd表面吸附, 在热力学上有利于氢置换氮.     

ENDOR/HYSCORE studies of the common intermediate trapped during nitrogenase reduction of N2H2, CH3N2H, and N2H4 support an alternating reaction pathway for N2 reduction

Enzymatic N(2) reduction proceeds along a reaction pathway composed of a sequence of intermediate states generated as a dinitrogen bound to the active-site iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) of the nitrogenase MoFe protein undergoes six steps of hydrogenation (e(-)/H(+) delivery). There are two competing proposals for the reaction pathway, and they invoke different intermediates. In the 'Distal' (D) pathway, a single N of N(2) is hydrogenated in three steps until the first NH(3) is liberated, and then the remaining nitrido-N is hydrogenated three more times to yield the second NH(3). In the 'Alternating' (A) pathway, the two N's instead are hydrogenated alternately, with a hydrazine-bound intermediate formed after four steps of hydrogenation and the first NH(3) liberated only during the fifth step. A recent combination of X/Q-band EPR and (15)N, (1,2)H ENDOR measurements suggested that states trapped during turnover of the α-70(Ala)/α-195(Gln) MoFe protein with diazene or hydrazine as substrate correspond to a common intermediate (here denoted I) in which FeMo-co binds a substrate-derived [N(x)H(y)] moiety, and measurements reported here show that turnover with methyldiazene generates the same intermediate. In the present report we describe X/Q-band EPR and (14/15)N, (1,2)H ENDOR/HYSCORE/ESEEM measurements that characterize the N-atom(s) and proton(s) associated with this moiety. The experiments establish that turnover with N(2)H(2), CH(3)N(2)H, and N(2)H(4) in fact generates a common intermediate, I, and show that the N-N bond of substrate has been cleaved in I. Analysis of this finding leads us to conclude that nitrogenase reduces N(2)H(2), CH(3)N(2)H, and N(2)H(4) via a common A reaction pathway, and that the same is true for N(2) itself, with Fe ion(s) providing the site of reaction.     

Peculiarities of the reaction of N,N′-substituted diphthalimides with amines

Macrocyclic phthalic acid diamides were obtained by the reaction of N,N-substituted diphthalimides with polyoxyethylenediamines, while the corresponding tetraamides were obtained with primary aliphatic amines. It is shown that the reaction is a thermodynamically controlled process.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–249, February, 1982.     

The Mannich reaction in the synthesis of N,S-containing heterocycles

Reactions of 6-aryl-5-cyano-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines with formaldehyde and primary amines gave earlier unknown 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]-[1,3,5]thiadiazine derivatives in 58–94% yields. In boiling AcOH, these pyrimidothiadiazines underwent the retro-Mannich reaction leading to the starting pyrimidine-2-thiones. The structure of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-8-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazine-7-carbonitrile was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.
