Beyond vinyl: electronic structure of unsaturated propen-1-yl, propen-2-yl, 1-buten-2-yl, and trans-2-buten-2-yl hydrocarbon radicals

Vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths for several valence and Rydberg electronic states of vinyl, propen-1-yl, propen-2-yl, 1-buten-2-yl, and trans-2-buten-2-yl radicals are calculated using the equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods with single and double substitutions (EOM-CCSD). The ground and the lowest excited state (n <-- pi) equilibrium geometries are calculated using the CCSD(T) and EOM-SF-CCSD methods, respectively, and adiabatic excitation energies for the n <-- pi state are reported. Systematic changes in the geometries, excitation energies, and Rydberg state quantum defects within this group of radicals are discussed.     

Synthesis of Functionalized Diethyl(pyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate and Diethyl(5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate

Short and efficient syntheses of functionalized (pyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate and (5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate have been developed. The synthetic strategy involved the diastereospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-benzyl-C-(diethoxyphosphoryl)nitrone to cis-1,4-dihydroxybut-2-ene and dimethyl maleate, respectively. O,O-Diethyl 3-carbamoyl-4-hydroxy(5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate was obtained from O,O-diethyl 2-benzyl-4,5-dimethoxycarbonyl(isoxazolidin-3-yl)phosphonate by hydrogenation and subsequent treatment with ammonia, whereas transformation of O,O-diethyl 2-benzyl-4,5-dihydroxymethyl(isoxazolidin-3-yl)phosphonate into O,O-diethyl 3-aminomethyl-4-hydroxy(pyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonate was accomplished by mesylation followed by hydrogenolysis to undergo intramolecular cyclization and the introduction of amino group via ammonolysis. Stereochemistry of the isoxazolidine cycloadducts, as well as the final functionalized (pyrrolidin-2-yl)- and (5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)phosphonates were established based on conformational analyses using vicinal H–H, H–P, and C–P couplings and supported by the observed diagnostic NOESY correlation signals.     

Zur Bestimmung von Carbamaten 2-(1,3-Dioxolan-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamat in Reaktionsgemischen

Zusammenfassung Am Beispiel von 2-(1,3-Dioxolan-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamat werden Hydrolyse-bedingungen und spezifische Bestimmungsverfahren für Carbamate beschrieben. Besonders günstig verläuft die Hydrolyse unter Verwendung von Kaliumhydroxid in Propylenglykol oder von konz. Phosphorsäure. Wegen der erhöhten Reaktionstemperaturen verlaufen die Reaktionen rasch.Eine für 2-(1,3-Dioxolan-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamat gültige Bestimmungsmethode beruht auf der Umsetzung des Acetalringes mit Hydroxylaminhydrochlorid [8]; es entsteht direkt das entsprechende Oxim. Möglicherweise vorhandene Nebenprodukte, welche die gleiche Reaktion geben, sind Salicylaldehyd und 2-(1,3-Dioxolan-2-yl)-phenol; sie lassen sich colorimetrisch als Eisen(III)-Komplexverbindung bestimmen.

The determination of carbamates. 2-(1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamate in reaction mixtures

Hydrolysis procedures for carbamates have been investigated, using 2-(1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamate as an example. Phosphoric acid (85% w) and potassium hydroxide in propylene glycol are suitable hydrolyzing agents. Due to the elevated reaction temperature, hydrolysis is fast.A method applicable to the determination of 2-(1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)-phenyl-N-methyl-carbamate is based on direct conversion of the acetal group to the related oxime, with hydroxylamine hydroehloride as reagent.Salicyl aldehyde and 2-(1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)-phenol, which are potential by-products, give the same reaction. They form a coloured iron(III)-complex and can thus be determined.

     

Synthesis of symmetrical di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazoles and di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines

The reactions of pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile and 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-carbonitrile with hydrazine hydrate were investigated. Intermediates in the route of successive transformations of pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (pyrimidine-2-carbamidrazone and 1,2-bis[amino(pyrimidin-2-yl)methylidene]hydrazine) into trinuclear heterocyclic compounds, viz., symmetrical di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazines and di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amines (potential polydentate ligands), were isolated. The oxidative dehydrogenation of di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazines afforded the corresponding 3,6-di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines.     

Modular synthesis of 5-substituted thiophen-2-yl C-2'-deoxyribonucleosides

A new modular methodology of preparation of 5-substituted thiophene-2-yl C-nucleosides was developed. A Friedel-Crafts-type of C-glycosidation of 2-bromothiophene with toluoyl-protected methylglycoside 2 gave the desired protected 1beta-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dideoxyribofuranose 4a in 60%. The key intermediate 4a was then subjected to a series of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The cross-coupling reactions with alkyl organometallics gave beta-(5-alkylthiophen-2-yl)-2-deoxyribonucleosides 4 and 7 in moderate yields accompanied by side-products of reduction. On the other hand, cross-couplings with arylstannanes proceeded smoothly to give a series of beta-(5-arylthiophen-2-yl)-2-deoxyribonucleosides 4 in good yields. Deprotection of toluoylated nucleosides by NaOMe in MeOH and silylated nucleosides by Et 3N.3HF gave a series of free C-nucleosides 6. Alternatively, other types of 5-arylthiophene C-nucleosides 6 were prepared in one step by the aqueous-phase cross-coupling reactions of unprotected 1beta-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dideoxyribofuranose with boronic acids. Title 5-arylthiophene C-nucleosides 6 exhibit interesting fluorescent properties with emission maxima varying from 339 to 396 nm depending on the aryl group attached.

Molecular structures of 3-chloro-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropone and 3-arylamino-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropone were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

1-(Fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2-azafluoren-3-yl)ethene and 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2H,2-methylindeno[2,3-c]pyridine)ethene

Condensation of 3-methyl-2-azafluorene with 2-formylfluorene results in the formation of a compound containing a polyconjugated system and two acidic CH centers, namely, 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2-azafluoren-3-yl)ethene. The conversions of this compound upon treatment with alkali have been studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. The methyl iodide derivative of this base was used as an intermediate in the preparation of a pseudo-azulene, 1-(fluoren-2-yl)-2-(2H, 2-methylindeno[2,3-c]pyridine)ethene.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii No. 5, pp. 657–659, May, 1987.     

Photochromic dihetarylethenes. 10. Photochromic 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]- and 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]ethenes
