Cyclic carbalkoxy aminimides. Synthesis and thermal decomposition to give N,N-dimethylamino isocyanate

Five membered ring carbalkoxy aminimides are prepared from 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and -chloroalkyl chloroformates in three steps. Upon heating, these aminimides give high yields of N,N-dimethylamino isocyanate. This intermediate dimerizes or can be trapped in the presence of a nucleophile.     

Mechanism of thermal decomposition of N,N-dinitromethylamine

Conclusions The methylnitroamine radical does not tend to undergo intramolecular oxidation: Me.NNO₂ MeO+N₂O and breaks down by decomposition into MeN: and NO₂. In the presence of NO₂ MeNNO₂ and MeN: are efficiently oxidized to MeNO.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 794–797, April, 1989.     

Synthesis,characterisation and thermal decomposition of double sulfate

Upon evaporation at room temperature of an aqueous mixture containing Al(III) sulfate and trishydroxymethyl-ammoniummethane sulfate in a molar ratio 1:2, double sulfate as crystalline product was obtained. The stoichiometry of the obtained compound was determined by means of elemental and TG analysis. For identification, IR-spectra and X-ray powder diffraction patterns were done. It was found that the general formula of the obtained compound is Al(HOCH₂)₃CNH₃(SO₄)₂·₆H₂O. as revealed by TG, DTG and DTA analysis, the dehydration of the AL-compound takes place in one step which points out that the six water molecules are bonded in the same way. The thermal decomposition of the anhydrous compound starts at about 260°C and is very complex. This process takes place in many steps which are not well resolved. The pathway of the thermal decomposition is also supposed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Structures of N,N-dialkoxyamides: pyramidal anomeric amides with low amidicity

The first X-ray structures of two anomeric N,N-dialkoxyamides (2 and 3) have been obtained, which confirm that they are highly pyramidalized at nitrogen and have long N-CO bonds, a characteristic of other anomeric amides and a consequence of drastically reduced amidicity. The crystals also demonstrate chirality at the amide nitrogen in the solid state. The structures are well-predicted by density functional calculations using N,N-dimethoxyacetamide as a model. The amidicity of N,N-dimethoxyacetamide has been estimated by two independent methods, COSNAR and a new transamidation method, which give almost identical resonance stabilization energies of -8.6 kcal mol(-1) and only 47% that of N,N-dimethylacetamide computed at the same level. The total destabilization is composed of a resonance and an inductive contribution, which we have evaluated separately. The electronegative oxygens at nitrogen are responsible for localization of the nitrogen lone pair on the amide nitrogen, a factor that contributes to a loss of resonance over and above the impact of pyramidalization at nitrogen, as well as the fact that N,N-dimethoxyacetamide is predicted to protonate on the carbonyl oxygen in preference to nitrogen.     

Synthesis of a stereochemically defined 1,2-diazetine N,N'-dioxide and a study of its thermal decomposition

Diazetine dioxide 1a has been synthesized in a single step via oxidation of meso-2,3-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine with dimethyldioxirane, albeit in low yield (7%). Thermal decomposition of 1a afforded predominantly either trans-stilbene or diphenyl glyoxime depending on solvent, temperature, and the presence of an amine catalyst. Reaction in chloroform at 69 degrees C favored elimination of NO and formation of trans-stilbene. The stereospecific formation of trans-stilbene suggests a mechanism of decomposition in which C-N bond cleavage leads to a diradical intermediate stabilized by the phenyl group. Bond rotation followed by cleavage of the second C-N bond accounts for the trans-stilbene. At 25 degrees C in chloroform, while trans-stilbene was still the major product, some diphenyl glyoxime was also observed (4% yield). However, 1a as a solution in chloroform in the presence of Et3N, or 1a as a solution in DMSO-d6, afforded predominantly diphenyl glyoxime. These results are interpreted in terms of two closely competing reactions subject to the effects of entropic contributions.

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes

Oligo(phenylcobaltcarbonylsilane) was prepared from oligo(phenylsilane) and dicobalt octacarbonyl. The reaction proceeds with elimination of H₂ and CO and insertion of cobalt carbonyl fragments into the silicone backbone of oligosilane. Oligosilane containing cobalt carbonyl groups in side organic substituents was obtained from oligolmethyl(phenylethynyl)Isilane and CO₂(CO)₈. The reaction of 1,2-bis(phenylethyny1)tetramethyldisilane with Co₂(CO)₈ proceeds with the sequential attachment of cobalt carbonyl fragments to ethynyl groups to form disilane derivatives [²-CCPhCo₂(CO)₆] Thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes affords a mixture of paramagnets and ferromagnets.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis, characterization and kinetics of thermal decomposition of dimeric peroxycarbamates

Several dimeric peroxycarbamates (PCs) have been synthesized by using cycloaliphatic and aromatic diisocyanates with mono- and di-hydroperoxides. The reactions were carried out under suitable conditions either in the presence of T-12 (dibutyltin dilaurate) as catalyst or in the absence of this catalyst. The products were characterized by IR-spectra and molecular weight measurements from isocyanate and peroxygen analyses. Thermal decomposition kinetics of these PCs were studied in THF solution at 80, 90 and 100 °C; the reactions were found to be first-order and decomposition rate constants (k_d) were found. Activation energies and frequency factors for the decomposition were calculated. Activation energies were found to be in the range 67-121 kJ mol⁻¹ and frequency factors were of the order of 10¹¹-10¹⁵ s⁻¹ depending on the structure of the PC. The results for the PCs agree well with literature values.

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of mixed Gd-Nd oxalates

Several (Gd_1−xNd_x)₂[C₂O₄]₃·nH₂O samples (0≤x≤1) were prepared by a coprecipitation method: the precipitation is quantitative and all the samples are homogeneous in stoichiometry. XRD analyses have shown that a complete solid solution is formed over the whole range of compositions. The dried Gd rich oxalates have initially a low water content which gradually increases with the Nd content. All the oxalates decompose in O₂ around 700°C either into a single mixed oxide or in a mixture of oxides through several steps, which can be ascribed to the loss of water and CO₂.

Synthesis of CeO2 by thermal decomposition of oxalate and kinetics of thermal decomposition of precursor

CeO₂ was synthesized by calcining Ce₂(C₂O₄)₃·8H₂O above 673 K in air. The precursor and its calcined products were characterized using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. The result showed that cubic CeO₂ was obtained when the precursor was calcined above 673 K in air for 2 h. The UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy studies showed that superfine CeO₂ behaved as an excellent UV-shielding material. The thermal decomposition of the precursor in air experienced two steps, which are: first, the dehydration of eight crystal water molecules, then the decomposition of Ce₂(C₂O₄)₃ into cubic CeO₂. The values of the activation energies associated with the thermal decomposition of Ce₂(C₂O₄)₃·8H₂O were determined based on the Starink equation.
