1-t-Butyl- and 1-(4-methylbenzyl)-3-bromo-3-methylazetidines were prepared from the corresponding N-(2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropylidene)alkylamines and their propensity to undergo nucleophilic substitution at the 3-position by different nucleophiles was assessed, providing a convenient access to novel 3-alkoxy-, 3-aryloxy-, 3-hydroxy-, 3-cyano-, 3-carboxy-, 3-(aminomethyl)- and 3-(hydroxymethyl)azetidines.     

3x-pyrrolizin-3-ones

Condensation of pyrrole-2-dithiocarboxylates with CH acids containing ester groups, in the KOH-DMSO system, was used to prepare previously unknown 1-alkylthio-3H pyrrolizin-3-ones. The latter, treated with secondary amines, are readily converted to the corresponding 1-amino derivatives.     

Synthesis and Dehydrobromination of 3-Bromomethyl- and 3-Bromo-3-methoxymethylcyclobutane-1-carbonitriles and Methyl 3-Bromomethyl- and 3-Bromo-3-methoxymethylcyclobutane-1-carboxylates

The anti-Markownikoff products of bromination and bromomethoxylation of 3-methylenecyclobutane-1-carbonitrile and methyl 3-methylenecyclobutane-1-carboxylate were subjected to dehydrobromination by the action of potassium tert-butoxide in THF. The reaction takes two elimination pathways: 1,3-dehydrobromination to give bicyclobutane derivatives and 1,2-dehydrobromination leading to substituted methylenecyclobutane. Structural factors in the substrate were revealed, which are responsible for the ratio of the two concurrent elimination processes.     

Effects of complexants on [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]CO3 morphology and electrochemical performance of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2

LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode materials for the application of lithium ion batteries were synthesized by carbonate co-precipitation routine using different ammonium salt as a complexant. The structures and morphologies of the precursor [Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3]CO₃ and LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ were investigated through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ were examined using charge/discharge cycling and cyclic voltammogram tests. The results revealed that the microscopic structures, particle size distribution, and the morphology properties of the precursor and electrochemical performance of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ were primarily dependent on the complexant. Among all as-prepared LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode materials, the sample prepared from Na₂CO₃–NH₄HCO₃ routine using NH₄HCO₃ as the complexant showed the smallest irreversible capacity of 19.5 mAh g⁻¹ and highest discharge capacity of 178.4 mAh g⁻¹ at the first cycle as well as stable cycling performance (98.7% of the initial capacity was retained after 50 cycles) at 0.1 C (20 mA g⁻¹) in the voltage range of 2.5–4.4 V vs. Li⁺/Li. Moreover, it delivered high discharge capacity of over 135 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 C (1,000 mA g⁻¹).

Kinetic and mechanistic investigation of the aminolysis of 3-methoxyphenyl 3-nitrophenyl thionocarbonate, 3-chlorophenyl 3-nitrophenyl thionocarbonate,and bis(3-nitrophenyl) thionocarbonate

The reactions of the title thionocarbonates (6, 7, and 8, respectively) with a series of secondary alicyclic amines are subjected to a kinetic investigation in 44 wt % ethanol-water, 25.0 degrees C, ionic strength 0.2 M (KCl). Under excess amine, pseudo-first-order rate coefficients (k(obsd)) are obtained for all reactions. Reactions of substrates 6 and 7 with piperidine and of thionocarbonate 8 with the same amine and piperazine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, and morpholine show linear k(obsd) vs [amine] plots, with slopes (k(1)) independent of pH. On the other hand, these plots are nonlinear upward for the reactions of substrates 6 and 7 with all the amines, except piperidine, and also for the reactions of compound 8 with 1-formylpiperazine and piperazinium ion. For all these reactions a mechanistic scheme is proposed with the formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate (T(+/-)), which can transfer a proton to an amine to give an anionic intermediate (T(-)). Rate and equilibrium microcoefficients of this scheme, k(1), k(-)(1), K(1) (= k(1)/k(-)(1)), and k(2), are obtained by fitting the nonlinear plots through an equation derived from the scheme. The Br?nsted-type plots for k(1) are linear with slopes beta(1) = 0.19, 0.21, and 0.26 for the aminolysis of 6, 7, and 8, respectively. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the formation of T(+/-) (k(1) step) is the rate-determining step. The k(1) values for these reactions follow the sequence 8 > 7 > 6, consistent with the sequence of the electron-withdrawing effects from the substituents on the "nonleaving" group of the substrates. The k(1) values for the aminolysis of 6, 7, and 8 are smaller than those for the same aminolysis of 3-methoxyphenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, and 4-cyanophenyl 4-nitrophenyl thionocarbonates (2, 3, and 4, respectively). The k(2) values (expulsion of the nucleofuge from T(+/-)) increase as the electron withdrawal from the nonleaving group increases. These values are smaller for the aminolysis of 6, 7, and 8 compared to those for the same aminolysis of 2, 3, and 4, respectively.     

Photochemical transformations of 3-alkyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropenes

Photolysis of 3-ferrocenyl-3-methyl- and 3-ferrocenyl-3-isopropylcyclopropenes was studied. Sensitized irradiation (triplet excitation) afforded [2+2]-cycloaddition products, viz., tricyclohexane derivatives. Direct irradiation (singlet excitation) of methyl-substituted ferrocenylcyclopropene gave rise to 2-ferrocenylbut-1-en-3-yne and trans-2-ferrocenylbut-2-ene. The isopropyl analog was converted into 1-ferrocenyl-4,4-dimethylcyclobutene. The reaction of this cyclopropene with 2-ferrocenyl-3-methylbut-1-ene afforded 1,3-diferrocenyl-3-isopropyl-6,6-dimethylcyclohexene. The latter compound and 3,6-diferrocenyl-3,6-diisopropyltricyclo[3.1.0.0^2,4]hexane were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Possible reaction pathways are discussed.     

Shock tube investigation of CH3 + CH3OCH3

The title reaction has been investigated in a diaphragmless shock tube by laser schlieren densitometry over the temperature range 1163-1629 K and pressures of 60, 120, and 240 Torr. Methyl radicals were produced by dissociation of 2,3-butanedione in the presence of an excess of dimethyl ether. Rate coefficients for CH(3) + CH(3)OCH(3) were obtained from simulations of the experimental data yielding the following expression which is valid over the range 1100-1700 K: k = (10.19 ± 3.0)T(3.78)?exp((-4878/T)) cm(3) mol(-1)s(-1). The experimental results are in good agreement with estimates by Curran and co-workers [Fischer, S. L.; Dryer, F. L.; Curran, H. J. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2000, 32 (12), 713-740. Curran, H. J.; Fischer, S. L.; Dryer, F. L. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2000, 32 (12), 741-759] but about a factor of 2.6 lower than those of Zhao et al. [Zhao, Z.; Chaos, M.; Kazakov, A.; Dryer, F. L. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2008, 40 (1), 1-18].

Theoretical study of highly excited Σ and Π states of NaLi and experimental observation of the interacting 5Σ and 6Σ states

Theoretical multireference configuration interaction (MRDCI) calculations on the excited ¹Σ⁺ and ¹Π states of NaLi are presented. They improve the results of a previous study by two of the present authors, resolve some differences with other theoretical results and lead to overall good agreement with experimental observations. To extend the experimental data base of electronic states in NaLi, a previously unknown ¹Σ⁺ state is investigated by polarisation labelling spectroscopy. Comparison with accompanying and previous theoretical calculations leads to a conclusion that the observed system consists of two band systems switching smoothly from one adiabatic state to the other and allows assignment of the bands as 5¹Σ⁺ ← X¹Σ⁺ in the lower energy part and to 6¹Σ⁺ ← X¹Σ⁺ for higher energies.     

3-H-pyrrolizin-3-ones

The gas-phase elimination kinetics of 3-buten-1-methanesulphonate and 3-methyl-3-buten-1-methanesulphonate

The elimination kinetics of the title compounds were carried out in a static system over the temperature range of 290–330°C and pressure range of 29.5–124 torr. The reactions, carried out in seasoned vessels with allyl bromide, obey first-order rate law, are homogeneous and unimolecular. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficients is given by the following Arrhenius equations: for 3-buten-1-methanesulphonate, log k₁(s^?1) = (12.95 ± 0.53) ? (175.3 ± 5.9)kJ mol^?1(2.303RT)^?1; and for 3-methyl-3-buten-1-methanesulphonate, log k₁(s^?1) = (12.98 ± 0.40) ? (174.7 ± 4.5)kJ mol^?1(2.303RT)^?1. The olefinic double bond appears to assist in the rate of pyrolysis. The mechanism is described in terms of an intimate ion-pair intermediate. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Single-conformation ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy of model synthetic foldamers: beta-peptides Ac-beta3-hPhe-beta3-hAla-NHMe and Ac-beta3-hAla-beta3-hPhe-NHMe

The conformational preferences and infrared and ultraviolet spectral signatures of two model beta-peptides, Ac-beta3-hPhe-beta3-hAla-NHMe (1) and Ac-beta3-hAla-beta3-hPhe-NHMe (2), have been explored under jet-cooled, isolated-molecule conditions. The mass-resolved, resonant two-photon ionization spectra of the two molecules were recorded in the region of the S0-S1 origin of the phenyl substituents (37,200-37,800 cm(-1)). UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy was used to determine the ultraviolet spectral signatures of five conformational isomers of both 1 and 2. Transitions due to two conformers (labeled A and B) dominate the R2PI spectra of each molecule, while the other three are minor conformers (C-E) with transitions a factor of 3-5 smaller. Resonant ion-dip infrared spectroscopy was used to obtain single-conformation infrared spectra in the 3300-3700 cm(-1) region. The infrared spectra showed patterns of NH stretch transitions characteristic of the number and type of intramolecular H-bonds present in the beta-peptide backbone. For comparison with experiment, full optimizations of low-lying minima of both molecules were carried out at DFT B3LYP/6-31+G*, followed by single point MP2/6-31+G* and selected MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ calculations at the DFT optimized geometries. Calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities for the amide NH stretch vibrations were used to determine the beta-peptide backbone structures for nine of the ten observed conformers. Conformers 1B, 1D, and 2A were assigned to double ring structures containing two C6 H-bonded rings (C6a/C6a), conformers 1A and 2B are C10 single H-bonded rings, conformers 1C and 2D are double ring structures composed of two C8 H-bonded rings (C8/C8), and conformers 1E and 2E are double ring/double acceptor structures in which two NH groups H-bond to the same C=O group, thereby weakening both H-bonds. Both 1E and 2E are tentatively assigned to C6/C8 double ring/double acceptor structures, although C8/C12 structures cannot be ruled out unequivocally. Finally, no firm conformational assignment has been made for conformer 2C whose unusual infrared spectrum contains one very strong H-bond with NH stretch frequency at 3309 cm(-1), a second H-bonded NH stretch fundamental of more typical value (3399 cm(-1)), and a third fundamental at 3440 cm(-1), below that typical of a branched-chain free NH. The single conformation spectra provide characteristic wavenumber ranges for the amide NH stretch fundamentals ascribed to C6 (3378-3415 cm(-1)), C8 (3339-3369 cm(-1)), and C10 (3381-3390 cm(-1)) H-bonded rings.
