New N-nitrosoamines. 1. Synthesis and nitrosative cleavage of the Mannich bases derived from nitrogen-containing heterocycles and primary aliphatic amines

The reactions of isatin, benzotriazole, and succinimide with formaldehyde and methylamine yield monoamines RCH₂N(Me)CH₂R and methylenediamines RCH₂N(Me)CH₂N(Me)CH₂R. The use of ethylenediamine as the amino component affords N,N"-disubstituted imidazolidines, while the reactions with 3-aminopropan-1-ol give N-substituted tetrahydro-1,3-oxazines. RCH₂NBuⁱ ₂ was obtained from succinimide, formaldehyde, and diisobutylamine. Nitrosative cleavage of the amines obtained was studied; it was shown that monoamines and methylenediamines give N-nitrosoamines RCH₂N(NO)Me, which were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. RCH₂NBuⁱ ₂ affords diisobutylnitrosamine, while imidazolidines transform into dinitroso compounds RCH₂N(NO)CH₂CH₂N(NO)CH₂R.

Reaktion von 2-(N-Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-1,4-benzochinonen Diazomethan. N-(Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-4,7-indazolchinone und ihre isomeren N-Methylderivate

The reaction of N-alkyl-p-hydroxyanilinobenzoquinones1 a–d, its acetylderivatives1 ₁–c₁ and the methoxyderivative1 a₂ with diazomethan yields in dependence on the reaction-conditions the indazolquinones2 a–d, 2 a₁–c₁ or2a ₂, the1-methylindazolquinones3 a–d and3 ₁–c₁, and finally the methoxy-1-methylindazolquinones5 a–d. The 2-methyl-isomeres6 a–d are formed only in small amounts. Methylation of2 a with dimethylsulfate gives5 a and6 a in the ratio of appr 2 to 1. Acetylation of2 a–d with acetanhydride leads to the N–O-acetylderivatives, which are easily hydrolyzed to2 a₁–d₁ during work up;3 a d yields3 a₁–d₁. The structures are established by the described crossexperiments and by spectroscopy (UV/VIS, IR, NMR).

Zur Bildung von Xylol-tricarbonylchrom (Dimethylbenchrotrenen) aus Di-n-butylether und Hexacarbonylchrom

The reaction of fluorenone ethyleneketal (9), diphenic anhydride as well as of biphenyls such as4 with Cr(CO)₆ in refluxing di-n-butylether (BE) gives dimethylbenchrotrenes [xylene-Cr(CO)₃,7] which are also formed by refluxing pureBE with Cr(CO)₆—although with much lower yields. Similarily, from di-n-pentylether and Cr(CO)₆ isobutyl- and 1-methyl-3-propyl-benchrotrene (13 and14) were obtained, whilst from di-n-propyl- and-hexylether, resp., and Cr(CO)₆ no benchrotrenes could be isolated.Tentative assumptions on the catalytic action of certain functional groups were confirmed by the reaction ofBE and Cr(CO)₆ in the presence of carbonamides, such as acetamide, urea and pyrrolidone, where 1,4-dimethylbenchrotrene (7 c) was formed with appreciable yields.Studies using dideuteratedBE showed that—at least for the reaction of9 with Cr(CO)₆ (giving a much lower yield of7 than with undeuteratedBE)—a simple bimolecular mechanism can be excluded.

Studies on the γ-effects. Part 3. Variations in the γ-effects ofN-substituted benzylamines,o-aminomethylphenols and 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines against theE s ′ substituent constants

The magnitude of the -effects on¹³C chemical shifts was studied as function of theN-substitution [Me, Et, Bu, CH₂C₆H₅, CH₂CH₂C₆H₅, Prⁱ, Bu^t, Bu^s, c-C₆H₁₁, CH(CH₃)C₆H₅, Bu^t, or Ph] for several benzylamines,o-aminomethylphenols and 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines. A correlation between the _c-values and the steric substituent constants (E _s ) of theN-substituents proved useful in characterizing the variation of the -effects along with the conformational factors. The diastereospecificity of the -effects is discussed for purposes of configurational assignments.For part 2, see Ref. 1.

New class of neutral paramagnetic binuclear sulfur-containing iron nitrosyl complexes

Neutral paramagnetic binuclear iron nitrosyl complexes, whose structures and properties differ from those of the known Roussin"s red salt esters, were synthesized for the first time. The iron nitrosyl complexes [Fe₂(₂-SR)₂(NO)₄]·nH₂O (¹-S, ¹-N; n = 1 or 2; R is 5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl (1), 1,2,4-triazol-3-yl (2), 1-methyltetrazol-5-yl (3), or benzothiazol-2-yl (4)) were prepared by the exchange reactions of Na₂Fe₂(S₂O₃)₂(NO)₄ with heterocyclic thiols. According to the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, complex 1 has a centrosymmetrical dimeric structure in which the iron atoms are linked through the -N—C—S structural fragment. Each Fe atom is bound to the N atom of one ligand and the S atom of another ligand. The isomer shifts of complexes 1—4 have virtually equal values (_Fe = 0.291(1)—0.304(1) mm s^–1 at T = 85 K), which are twice as large as _Fe for Roussin"s red salt esters. The iron atoms in complexes 1—4 have the low-spin configuration d⁷ (Fe⁺). The ESR spectra of polycrystalline powders of complexes 1—4 consist of a single Lorentzian line with g = 2.032 and a width of 6—10 mT. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of complex 1 in the temperature range of 80—300 K is adequately described by the Curie—Weiss law with 8 K; the effective magnetic moment per iron atom is 1.85 B.     

Porous Solids of Divalent Metal Complexes Assembled Through Hydrogen Bonding and π–π Stacking Interactions

The compound N, N-di(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)formamidine (HDMepyF) has been exploited in preparation of porous materials of divalent metal complexes of the formulae M(HDMepyF)₂(NO₃)₂ (M=Cd, 1; Co, 2; Ni, 3) and M(HDMepyF)₂X₂ (M=Mn, X=Cl, 4; M=Mn, X=Br, 5; M=Ni, X=Cl, 6; M=Ni, X=Br, 7). Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Each metal center of these complexes is approximately octahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen and two halogen or oxygen donor atoms. Complexes 1– 5 and 7 self-assemble through similar hydrogen bonding motifs which involve the C–HsX (X=Cl, Br or O) hydrogen bondings and – stacking interactions between the HDMepyF ligand and the X atoms to form porous structures.     

Metal-betaine interactions. Part 17: A study of intradimer Cu · · · Cu distance variation in copper(II) betaine complexes containing [Cu2 (carboxylato-O,O′)4L2]n+ species

Four copper(II) complexes of betaines, [Cu₂(BET)₄Cl₂][Cu(BET)₂Cl₂]Cl₂ (2), [Cu₂(pyBET)₄Cl₂]₃[CuCl₄]₂Cl₂ (3), [Cu, (pyBET)₄ (H₂O)₂] (NO₃)₄ · 2H₂O (4), and [Cu₂(ppBET)₄(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₄ · 4H₂O (5), (BET = Me₃N⁺CH₂COO^–; pyBET = C₅H₅N⁺CH₂COO^–; ppBET=C₅H₅N⁺CH₂CH₂COO^–), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes all contain dimeric [Cu₂ (carboxylato-O,O)₄L₂] structures [basal Cu-O=1.955(4) 1.991(2), Cu Cu=2.602(1) 2.759(1) Å] with the apical ligand L=Cl^– in (2) and (3) [Cu-Cl=2.415(1) 2.436(3) Å] and L = H₂O in (4) and (5) [Cu-OH₂=2.158(4) 2.192(3) Å]; also present are a discrete [Cu(BET)₂Cl₂] molecule with a compressed tetrahedral CuO₂Cl₂ chromophore involving two unidentate carboxylate ligands [Cu-O=1.916(2), Cu-Cl=2.254(1) Å] in (2), and a discrete C_3v [CuCl₄]^2– anion in (3). Generally the intradimer Cu Cu distance may be correlated to the electronic repulsion of the metal-ligand bonds in the CuO₄L chromophore, as well as the steric interaction between the carboxylate moieties and the apical ligand.     

Synthesis and crystal structure ofN,N′-DicyclohexylpiperazineN,N′-dioxide octahydrate

N,N-DicyclohexylpiperazineN,N-dioxide octahydrate, C₁₆H₄₆N₂O₁₀,M _r=426.55, monoclinic, space groupC2/m (No. 12),a=12.961(4),b=11.533(4),c=7.907(1) Å, =98.37(2)^o,V=1169.3(6) ų,Z=2. The structure was solved by the direct method and refined toR=0.045 for 1192 observed MoK reflections. TheN,N-dioxide molecule occupies a site of symmetry 2/m. The piperazine ring takes the chair form with the two N–O bonds oriented axially in atrans configuration. Hydrogen bonding between the water molecules, as well as between theN-oxide groups and water molecules, gives rise to a puckered layer composed of edge-sharing four-membered, five-membered, six-membered, and eight-membered rings. Adjacent layers are cross-linked by theN,N-dicyclohexylpiperazine moieties lying between them, thereby generating a sandwich structure consolidated by covalent and hydrogen bonding.

Ringsubstituierte [1]titanocenophane

The ring-substituted bis(cyclopentadienyl)silanesMe ₂Si(C₅H₅) (MeC₅H₄) (1a) andMe ₂Si(MeC₅H₄)₂ (2a) could be prepared by the reactions ofMe ₂SiCl₂ with C₅H₅Na andMeC₅H₄Na or only withMeC₅H₄Na, respectively. Metallation of1 a or2 a withn-BuLi and following reaction with TiCl₄ led to the first ringsubstituted [1]titanocenophanes,Me ₂Si(C₅H₄) (MeC₅H₃)TiCl₂ (1 b) orMe ₂Si(MeC₅H₃)₂ TiCl₂ (2 b), respectively. On reaction with NaI,1 b yieldedMe ₂Si(C₅H₄) (MeC₅H₃)TiI₂ (1 c). Structural assignments of the compounds could be made on the basis of their¹H NMR spectra.

     

Synthesis and crystal structure of copper halide complexes with triethylallylammonium (teaa) chloride: [(teaa)Cu3ICl4], [(teaa)Cu3IBr3.86Cl0.14], and (teaa)2CuIICl4

The results of X-ray diffraction analysis of novel triethylallylammonium chloride compounds with copper(I) chloride, copper(I) bromide, and copper(II) chloride are reported. The [(CH₃CH₂)₃(CH₂=CHCH₂xN]Cu ₃ ^I Cl₄ and [(CH₃CH₂)₃(CH₂=CHCH₂Cu ₃ ^I Br_3.86)Cl_0.14 -complexes are isostructural: space group P2₁/a; a= 17.58(1) Å, b = 12.059(8)Å, c = 7.184(4) Å, = 98.37(5)° and a = 17.972(9) Å, b=12.479(8) Å, c = 7.290(5) Å, = 98.81(5)°, respectively. ²-Coordination of the copper atom by the olefinic bond plays a key role in the structural ordering of the tetraalkylammonium cation. In contrast, the structure of {(CH₃CH₂)₃x(CH₂=CHCH₂)N}₂Cu^IICl₄ (P4₂/nmc; a = 8.839(3) Å, c =15.660(9) Å) follows the ionic salt pattern.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by L. M. Babkov, I. I.

N—H bond dissociation energies in <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>′-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine and its aminyl radical

The N—H bond dissociation energy (D _NH) in the 4-anilinodiphenylaminyl radical formed from N,N-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine was experimentally determined and calculated by the quantum-chemical method. The experimental D _NH value was found from the enthalpy of the reaction of N,N-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinonediimine with 4-hydroxydiphenylamine taking into account the bond dissociation energies in 4-hydroxydiphenylamine and its aminyl and phenoxyl radicals, which were determined by the intersecting parabolas method from the kinetic data. The quantum-chemical calculations of D _NH used several semiempirical methods by the MOPAC program and the ab initio and DFT methods by the GAUSSIAN 94/98 program. The D _NH values, which were closest to the experimental values, were obtained by the B3LYP/6-31+G* method. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the N—H and O—H bond dissociation energies in 4-hydroxydiphenylamine and its radicals are presented.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Study of the reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine with nucleophilic reagents

The reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (4) with S-, C-, and N-nucleophiles afford stable s-adducts at position 10. In the base-catalyzed reactions of compound 4 with thiols, the resulting -complexes are rearranged into sulfides 14a—c. Sulfides 14b,c undergo the Thorpe—Ziegler cyclization to give 1-aminobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-h][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives 15a,b. The reaction of naphthyridine 4 with aniline affords a mixture of -adducts of the C—N and C—C types, while those with aliphatic amines yield 3-amino derivatives 17a—c. In the presence of H₂O₂, benzonaphthyridine 4 adds peroxycarboxylic acids to give compounds 8a,b. In alkaline medium, adduct 8a is rearranged into 4-aminopyridine-3-carbaldehyde derivative 10.
