Preparation ofN-nitrohydroxylamines by direct nitration

The possibilities for stabilization of compounds with the A-B-NO₂ fragment, where A is an atom containing a lone electron pair, were examined. It was shown thatN-methyl-O-2,4-dinitro- and 2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydroxylamines undergo nitration with nitronium tetrafluoroborate or with a mixture of nitric acid and acetic anhydride to give the correspondingN-nitrohydroxylamines in high yields.N-Nitro-2,4-dinitrohydroxylamine that contains no methyl group at the nitrogen atom is unstable and forms a product ofO-alkylation upon reaction with diazomethane.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Kinetic studies on the formation of N-nitroso compounds X. The nitrosation ofN-methylacetamide and its differences with respect to the nitrosation of amines

The kinetics of the nitrosation ofN-methylacetamide have been studied using spectrophotometry. Significant differences with respect to the mechanism of nitrosation of amines were observed: the absence of catalysis by halides, the existence of general basic catalysis by acetate and its chlorated derivatives obeyingBrønsted's law (with =0.49), and the primary isotopic effect (with a ratio of 7.9 between the rate constants for the elementary process in H₂O and D₂O). All this indicates that the slow step of the mechanism must be the transfer of a proton from the protonated nitrosamide to the reaction medium.

Kinetische Untersuchungen zur Bildung von N-Nitroso-Verbindungen, 10. Mitt.: Die Nitrosierung vonN-Methylacetamid und die Unterschiede in bezug auf die Nitrosierung von Aminen

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Nitrosierung vonN-Methylacetamid wurde mittels Spektrophotometrie untersucht. Es wurden signifikante Unterschiede zum Mechanismus der Nitrosierung von Aminen beobachtet: die Abwesenheit einer Katalyse durch Halogenide, die Existenz einer generellen basischen Katalyse durch Acetat und dessen chlorierten Derivaten unter Übereinstimmung mit demBrønstedschen Gesetz (mit =0,49) und einem beobachtbaren Isotopeneffekt (mit einem Verhältnis von 7,9 zwischen den Geschwindigkeitskonstanten in H₂O und D₂O). All das zeigt an, daß der geschwindigkeitsbestimmende Schritt im Mechanismus der Transfer eines Protons vom protonierten Nitrosamid zum Reaktionsmedium sein muß.

Ammonium salts from polymer-bound N-hydroxysuccinimide as solid-supported reagents for EDC-mediated amidations

New ammonium and alkylammonium salts derived from a polymeric N-hydroxysuccinimide (P-HOSu) have been prepared and used for the amidation of carboxylic acids and amino acids mediated by 1-ethyl-3-(3′-dimethylamino-propyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). These polymer-supported ammonium salts afforded the corresponding amides in good yield, without detectable α-racemization and with easy recovery of the P-HOSu after the amidation reaction, being especially suitable for the amidation of Fmoc-protected amino acids.     

Reactions of quinazolinium salts with quaternary heterocyclic salts yielding 3-hetarylquinolines

A novel type of transformations of the pyrimidine ring under the action of C-nucleophiles was found and a new method was developed for the synthesis of 3-hetarylquinolines from quinazoline derivatives and quaternary heterocyclic salts. An independent synthesis was carried out and transformations of one of the probable intermediates were studied. By-products were isolated. The effects of the nature of the heterocycle and substituents on the course of the ring transformation reaction were found, and the mechanism of the reaction was suggested.

Synthesis of pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts and their application in palladium catalyzed Heck-type coupling reactions

Reaction of imidazole derivatives with 2,3-di(bromomethyl)pyrazine results in the formation of the new pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts 1-8. These salts proved to be valuable precursors for dinuclear complexes with mixed NHC/pyrazine ligands. Two of the pyrazine-bridged diimidazolium salts 3·H₂O and 8·2H₂O have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the first catalytic studies with mixtures of palladium acetate and the imidazolium salts have been carried out. The in situ prepared palladium complexes derived from the diimidazolium salts 1-8 exhibit a modest catalytic activity in Heck-type coupling reactions between 4-bromo benzaldehyde and styrene or n-butyl acrylate.
