Reactions on polymers with amine groups. III. Description of the addition reaction of pyridine and imidazole compounds with α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids

A detailed study of the synthesis of betaine products that result from addition reactions of poly (4-vinylpyridine) and poly (N-vinylimidazole) as well as of their model compounds, with α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids is presented. A reaction mechanism based on experimental observations and proved by kinetic analysis is proposed. It consists of two reactions: the addition, which involves two molecules of acid and leads to X⁺B⁻-like structures, where the cation X⁺ results from the addition of the amino nitrogen to the double bond of acid and B⁻ is the carboxyl anion, and an equilibrium reaction between X⁺B⁻ and the betaine structure X^±. The latter occurs only in protic solvents and is coupled with the addition reaction. The process was especially investigated in methanol, because this solvent allows determination of the kinetic parameters. Some values of the addition rate constants are given. The study is based on ¹H-NMR measurements and observations. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reactions on polymers with amine groups. I. Reactions of vinylpridine polymers and of their model compounds with unsaturated carboxylic acids

The reactions of vinylpyridine polymers with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic, methacrylic, crotonic, itaconic, cinnamic, fumaric, and maleic acids were studied. It was found that, when reacted with acrylic, itaconic and fumaric acids. poly(4-vinylpyridine) gave macromolecular betaine products while with maleic acid, betaine as well as the corresponding salt was obtained. Poly(2-vinylpyridine) reacted with the same acids as poly(4-vinylpyridine) gave only the salts. No significant changes were observed with the two polymers when reacted with methacrylic, crotonic, and cinnamic acids. To attempt to rationalize these observations with the two macromolecular tertiary amines, the reactions of 4-methyl and 2-methylpyridines with the same carboxylic acids were investigated. The ¹H-NMR methodology was generally applied to elucidate the chemical structure obtained. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Catalytic Direct‐Type Addition Reactions of Alkylarenes with Imines and Alkenes

Catalytic addition reactions of very weakly acidic nonactivated alkylarenes such as toluene and its derivatives were developed by using a strongly basic mixed catalyst system under mild reaction conditions. The addition reactions with imines and alkenes proceeded smoothly under proton‐transfer conditions to afford the desired products in good to high yields, and high levels of regio‐ and stereoselectivity were achieved. It was also revealed that the asymmetric addition reaction of an alkylarene was possible.     

Chemistry of Fischer-type rhenacyclobutadiene complexes. II. Reactions with alkynes and sulfonium ylides, and rearrangements induced by nitriles and pyridine

Further investigations into the chemistry of the rhenacyclobutadiene complexes (CO)₄Re(η²-C(R)C(CO₂Me)C(X)) (1: R=Me, X=OEt (1a), O(CH₂)₃CCH (1b), NEt₂ (1c); R=CHEt₂, X=OEt (1d); R=Ph, X=OEt (1e)) are reported. Reactions of 1 with alkynes at reflux temperature of toluene and at ambient temperature either under photochemical conditions or in the presence of PdO yield ring-substituted η⁵-cyclopentadienylrhenium tricarbonyl complexes, 2. The symmetrical alkynes R^′CCR^′ (R^′=Ph, Me, CO₂Me) afford the pentasubstituted complexes (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(Ph)(Ph))Re(CO)₃ (2d), (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(Me)(Me))Re(CO)₃ (2e), (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(CO₂Me)(CO₂Me))Re(CO)₃ (2f), and (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(NEt₂)(CO₂Me)(CO₂Me))Re(CO)₃ (2i) on reaction with the appropriate 1, whereas the unsymmetrical alkynes R^′CCR″ (R^′=Ph; R″=H, Me) give either only one, (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(Ph)H)Re(CO)₃ (2a)), or both, (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me) (OEt)(Ph)(Me))Re(CO)₃ (2b) and (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(Me)(Ph))Re(CO)₃ (2c), (η⁵-C₅(Ph)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(Ph)H)Re(CO)₃ (2g) and (η⁵-C₅(Ph)(CO₂Me)(OEt)(H)(Ph))Re(CO)₃ (2h), of the possible products of [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alkyne to η²-C(R)C(CO₂Me)C(X). Thermolysis of (CO)₄Re(η²-C(Me)C(CO₂Me)C(O(CH₂)₃CCH)) (1b) containing a pendant alkynyl group proceeds to (η⁵-C₅(Me)(CO₂Me)(O(CH₂)₃)H)Re(CO)₃ (2j), a η⁵-cyclopentadienyl-dihydropyran fused-ring product. Competition experiments showed that each of PhCCH and MeO₂CCCCO₂Me reacts faster than PhCCPh with 1a. The results with unsymmetrical alkynes are rationalized by steric properties of substituents at the CC and ReC bonds and by a preference of ReC(Me) over ReC(OEt) to undergo alkyne insertion. A mechanism is proposed that involves substitution of a trans CO by alkyne in 1, insertion of alkyne into ReC bond to give a rhenabenzene intermediate, and collapse of the latter to 2. Complexes 1a and 1d undergo rearrangement in MeCN at reflux temperature to give rhenafuran-like products, (CO)₄Re(κ²-OC(OMe)C(CHCR₂)C(OEt)) (R=H (3a) or Et (3b)). The reaction of 1d also proceeds in EtCN, PhCN, and t-BuCN at comparable temperature, but is slower (especially in t-BuCN) than in MeCN. In pyridine at reflux temperature, 1a undergoes a similar rearrangement, with CO substitution, to give (CO)₃(py)Re(κ²-OC(OMe)C(CHCEt₂)C(OEt)) (4). A mechanism is proposed for these reactions. The sulfonium ylides Me₂SCHC(O)Ph and Me₂SC(CN)₂ (Me₂SCRR^′) react with 1a in acetonitrile at reflux temperature by nucleophilic addition of the ylide to the ReC(Me) carbon, loss of Me₂S, and rearrangement to a rhenafuran-type structure to yield (CO)₄Re(κ²-OC(OMe)C(C(Me)CRR^′)C(OEt)) (R=H, R^′=C(O)Ph (5a); R=R^′CN (5b)). All new compounds were characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Side-chain liquid crystalline polymers with silphenylene-siloxane main chains. III. Synthesis and characterization of polymers with phenyl benzoate mesogenic groups

Side-chain liquid crystalline (SCLC) silphenylene-siloxane polymers with a phenyl benzoate mesogenic group and polymethylene spacers were prepared and characterized, and their properties were compared with those of equivalent SCLC polymers, SCLCPs, with a biphenyl mesogenic group. With identical spacers and terminal substituents, the melting temperatures of the former were much lower, but the isotropization temperatures were lowered to a lesser extent, than those of the latter, and, consequently, a more thermally stable nematic phase was obtained for the former. Both types of SCLCPs formed nematic phases, while polymethylsiloxanes with the same side-chain mesogens exhibited smectic phases with wider temperature ranges. The lower thermal stability of the mesophases in the silphenylene-siloxane SCLCPs compared to those of the SCLC polymethylsiloxanes can be attributed to both the rigidity of the backbone and the greater separation of the side-chains along the main chains of the former.

The reaction of one equivalent of LAlH₂ ( 1 ; L=HC(CMeNAr)₂, Ar=2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃, β‐diketiminate ligand) with two equivalents of 2‐mercapto‐4,6‐dimethylpyrimidine hydrate resulted in LAl[(μ‐S)(m‐C₄N₂H)(CH₂)₂]₂ ( 2 ) in good yield. Similarly, when N‐2‐pyridylsalicylideneamine, N‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)salicylaldimine, and ethyl 3‐amino‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene‐2‐carboxylate were used as starting materials, the corresponding products LAl[(μ‐O)(o‐C₆H₄)CN(C₅NH₄)]₂ ( 3 ), LAlH[(μ‐O)(o‐C₄H₄)CN(2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃)] ( 4 ), and LAl[(μ‐NH)(o‐C₈SH₈)(COOC₂H₅)]₂ ( 5 ) were isolated. Compounds 2 – 5 were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy as well as by single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis. Surprisingly, compounds 2 – 5 exhibit good catalytic activity in addition reactions of aldehydes with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN).

Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of five iron(II) coordination polymers with flexible bis(imidazole) and bis(triazole) ligands

Five iron(II) coordination polymers, {[Fe(bte)₂(NCS)₂][Fe(bte)(H₂O)₂(NCS)₂]}_n (1), [Fe(bime)(NCS)₂]_n (2), [Fe(bime)(dca)₂]_n (3), [Fe(bime)₂(N₃)₂]_n (4) and [Fe(btb)₂(NCS)₂]_n (5), were synthesized using the flexible ligands 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane (bte), 1,2-bis(imidazol-1-yl)ethane (bime) and 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane (btb), together with NCS⁻, dicyanamide (dca) and N₃⁻. The compound 1 contains two kinds of motifs (double chain and single chain) and forms a three-dimensional hydrogen bonded network; 2 and 3 contain one-dimensional triple chains; and 4 and 5 form two-dimensional (4, 4) networks. The coordination anions (NCS⁻, dca and N₃⁻) and the structural characteristics of the ligands (bte, bime and btb) play an important role in the assembly of the topologies. Magnetic studies reveal that 1-5 remain in the high-spin state over the whole temperature range 2-300 K and no detectable spin-crossover is observed.     

De Novo and Divergent Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Furans by Cascade Reactions of 2-Hydroxy-1,4-diones with Nucleophiles

Herein, a divergent synthesis of a variety of 2α- and 5α-substituted furan derivatives from 2-hydroxy-1,4-diones is reported. By using appropriate substrates and an acid catalyst, the reactions occurred selectively through cyclization/1,6-conjugate addition or cyclization/Friedel–Crafts-type cascade reactions. A broad range of nucleophilic reagents (>10 types for the 1,6-conjugate addition for 5α substitution and >20 types for the Friedel–Crafts-type cascade reaction for 2α substitution), including alcohols, amides, furan, thiophene, pyrrole, indole, phenols, and many others, can successfully participate in the reactions, providing a universal strategy for a diversity-oriented synthesis of α-substituted furan derivatives. Deuteriation experiments and DFT calculations were carried out to support the proposed reaction mechanisms. Antifungal activity experiments revealed that products with an indole or 4-hydroxycoumarin core substituted at the 2α position showed moderate activities against Rhizoctorzia solani and Botrytis cinerea, respectively.     

Kinetics and Mechanisms for the Reactions of Phenyl Radical with Ketene and its Deuterated Isotopomer: An Experimental and Theoretical Study

Kinetics and mechanism for the reaction of phenyl radical (C₆H₅) with ketene (H₂C_β?C_α?O) were studied by the cavity ring‐down spectrometric (CRDS) technique and hybrid DFT and ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The C₆H₅ transition at 504.8 nm was used to detect the consumption of the phenyl radical in the reaction. The absolute overall rate constants measured, including those for the reaction with CD₂CO, can be expressed by the Arrhenius equation k=(5.9±1.8)×10¹¹ exp[?(1160±100)/T] cm³ mol^?1 s^?1 over a temperature range of 301–474 K. The absence of a kinetic isotope effect suggests that direct hydrogen abstraction forming benzene and ketenyl radical is kinetically less favorable, in good agreement with the results of quantum chemical calculations at the G2MS//B3LYP6‐31G(d) level of theory for all accessible product channels, including the above abstraction and additions to the C_α, C_β, and O sites. For application to combustion, the rate constants were extrapolated over the temperature range of 298–2500 K under atmospheric pressure by using the predicted transition‐state parameters and the adjusted entrance reaction barriers E_α=E_β=1.2 kcal mol^?1; they can be represented by the following expression in units of cm³ mol^?1 s^?1: k_α=6.2×10¹⁹ T^?2.3 exp[?7590/T] and k_β=3.2×10⁴ T^2.4 exp[?246/T].
