1,3-Bis[2-(ethynyldimethylsilyl)vinyl]tetramethyldisiloxane and Macrocyclic Polyunsaturated Siloxanes on Its Basis

Hydrosilylation of diethynyldimethylsilane with tetramethyldisiloxane in the presence of chloroplatinic acid give rise to a mixture of three stereoisomers of 1,3-bis[2-(ethynyldimethylsilyl)vinyl]tetramethyldisiloxane: trans-trans, gem-trans, and gem-gem. Hydrolysis of chloro[2-(ethynyldimethylsilyl)vinyl]dimethylsilane provides the trans-trans isomer of 1,3-bis[2-(ethynyldimethylsilyl)vinyl]tetramethyldisiloxane exclusively. Reactions of an organomagnesium derivative of the disiloxane with dichlorodiorganylsilanes allowed synthesis of novel polyunsaturated macrocyclic siloxanes. The ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectra of the products were studied.

A suspension formed as a result of ultrasonication of a mixture of graphite with N,N-dimethylformamide has been studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The dependence of the width of the ¹H NMR signal on the N,N-dimethylformamide content of the suspension has been determined.     

β-Acetyl-β-nitrostyrenes: Structure and use for synthesis of heteryl-containing structures

¹H, IR, and electronic absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis were used to establish that 1-acetyl-1-nitro-2-phenyl-and 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)ethenes have Z configuration, and their 2-(p-N,Ndimethylaminophenyl)-substituted analog exists in chloroform-d ³ as a mixture of Z and E isomers. The reactions of gem-acetylnitroethenes with N-methylpyrrole were shown to involve alkylation at the C²-reaction center of the heterocycle. The reactions of these nitroalkenes with hydrazine form pyrazoles and azines, with acetylhydrazine, the corresponding hydrazones (via transalkenylation), and with sodium azide, acetylsubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles.

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenyltriflamide with 1,2-dibromoethane and propargyl bromide. Unexpected cleavage of С–С and С–N bonds

Reaction of N-phenyltriflamide with 1,2-dibromoethane under basic conditions in DMSO unexpectedly results in N-methyl-N-phenyltriflamide and 1,3-diphenylurea. The presumed reaction mechanism includes the formation of unstable intermediate disubstitution product TfN(Ph)CH₂CH2N(Ph)Tf that suffers the the С–С bond cleavage resulting in TfN(Me)Ph and N,N′-methanediylbis(N-phenyltriflamide). The latter reacts with K₂CO₃ releasing two molecules of potassium triflinate and after hydrolysis of diphenylcarbodiimide PhN=C=NPh gives 1,3-diphenylurea. With propargyl bromide, N-phenyltriflamide affords N-propargyl-Nphenyltriflamide in high yield. The bromination of the latter results in a mixture of Z,E-isomers of N-(2,3-dibromoprop-2-en-1-yl)-N-phenyltriflamide which undergo dehydrobromination giving first N-(3-bromopropanedienyl)-N-phenyltriflamide and then the products of the C–N bond cleavage: N-phenyltriflamide and 3,3-dimethoxyprop-1-yne.

Antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds was tested.     

Enantioselective hydrogen transfer hydrogenation on rhodium colloid systems with optically active stabilizers

Hydrogen transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and methyl benzoylformate with 2-propanol was studied on colloidal systems obtained by reduction of rhodium complexes in the presence of optically active compounds: chiral diamines, quaternary salt (4S,5S)-(–)-N¹,N⁴-dibenzylene-2,3-dihydroxy-N¹,N¹,N⁴,N⁴-tetramethylbutane-1,4-diammonium dichloride and (8S,9R)-(–)-cinchonidine. The increase in the molar ratio modifier/Rh leads to the increase in the enantioneric excess (ee) of the reaction products. The largest ee [43.8% of (R)-1-phenylethanol and 58.2% of methyl ester of (R)-mandelic acid] were achieved for the ratios (8S,9R)-(–)-cinchonadine: Rh = 9: 1 and 3: 1, respectively. The catalyst was characterized by the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and thermal analysis.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 2-amino-1,3-thiazole and 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole

Synthesis and structure of 1-(buta-1,3-dien-2-yl)pyrazoles and their behavior in Diels-Alder reactions

A convenient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of cis-and trans-isomeric 1-(buta-1,3-dien-1-yl)-1H-pyrazoles by reaction of the corresponding pyrazoles with β-methylacrolein diethyl acetal and subsequent 1,4-cleavage of the nucleophilic substitution products. The behavior of the title compounds in Diels-Alder reactions with maleic anhydride has been studied. According to the ¹H NMR data, 1-(buta-1,3-dien-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole is a mixture of cis and trans isomers. Butadienylpyrazoles having methyl groups in the pyrazole ring do not react with maleic anhydride.

Two charge-assisted C–H\(\cdots\)F type crystal packing interactions between the imidazolinium C–H bonds and the F atoms of hexafluorophosphate counteranions build up zigzag chains along a-axis of the unit cell and indicate that the C–H bonds of the imidazolinium ring are also polarized. In addition, the title salt was modeled by DFT calculations in order to verify charge transfer mechanism observed in its imidazolinium ring.     

Fusion of 2-(furan-2-yl)thiazole to 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-benzimidazole

Methylation of 5(6)-nitro-1H-benzimidazole with methyl iodide in the presence of potassium hydroxide and N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one gave a mixture of isomeric 1-methyl-5-nitro- and 1-methyl-6-nitro-1H-benzimidazoles which were reduced with tin in concentrated aqueous HCl on heating.

The reaction of the same compounds in anhydrous ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide led to the formation of N-(4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiourea. Bis(3-oxo-1,3-diphenylprop-1-en-1-yl) sulfide and 1-benzoyl-2-ethylsulfanyl-2-phenylethylene were isolated in the reactions of 1-benzoyl-2-phenylacetylene with N-(carbamimidoyl)thiourea and N-(carbamimidoyl)-S-ethylisothiuronium bromide, respectively, in anhydrous methanol.     

Effect of alkali metal salts on decomposition of ionic liquid like organic salt

N ¹,N ¹,N ²,N ²-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine-based ionic salts (TMEDA), N ¹,N ¹,N ¹,N ²,N ²,N ²-hexamethylethane-1,2-diaminium dicyanamide (HMEDA-(DCA)₂) were prepared following the quaternization and subsequent ion exchange. The chemical structure of the HMEDA-(DCA)₂ was confirmed using ¹³C NMR spectrum and elemental analysis. The corresponding viscosity of its 60 wt% solution was found to be lower than 5 cP at room temperature, which was critical for propellant application. The ignition delay of 40 wt% HMEDA-(DCA)₂ solution was decreased to 20–30 ms dramatically using alkali metal salts, Li(CH₃COO), Mg(CH₃COO)₂, and Ca(CH₃COO)₂ as a co-catalyst when white fume nitric acid was utilized as an oxidizer.
