Convenient preparation of 1,2-alkylenedioxy-benzofuroxans and benzofurazans

Nitration of the dioxolo-annelated benzenes 11 led to the corresponding dinitro derivatives 12 . Nucleophilic substitution of the latter with azide ion furnished the monoazides 13 which on thermolysis afforded the benzofuroxans 14 . Deoxygenation of furoxans 1a,b,e,f, 2a-c,e,f, 5, 7, 9 and 14 with triphenylphosphine, furnished the respective benzofurazans 3a,b,e,f, 4a-c,e,f, 6, 8, 10 and 15 .     

Preparation of benzofuroxans and benzofurazans of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b] [1,4]dioxocin and related compounds

The novel benzofuroxans 1d, 2 and benzofurazans 3,4 have been prepared in good yields. Nitration of 5c furnished the mononitro-derivatives 6a and 6b in the unusually high relative ratio 6a:6b of 23:77. Direct nitration of 5c or 6a + 6b afforded the unexpected dinitro-derivative 8b as the major product along with the isomeric 8a, 8c and 8d . Improvement in the yield of 5c (to 86%) is reported.

Effects of olefins on the thermal decomposition of propane part V. Effect of butene-2-Cis

The thermal decomposition of butene-2-cis at low conversion and its effect on the pyrolysis of propane have been studied in the temperature range 779-812 K. It was established that 2-butene decomposes in a long-chain process, with the chain cycle (Besides the radical path, the molecular reaction can also play a role in the formation of the products.) The thermal decomposition of propane is considerably inhibited by 2-butene, which can be explained by the fact that the less reactive radicals formed in the reactions between the olefin and the chain-carrying radicals regenerate the chain cycle more slowly than the original radicals in the above chain cycle or in the reactions The reactions of the 2-propyl radical are further initiation steps. The ratios of the rate coefficients of the elementary steps of the decomposition (Table III) have been determined via the ratios of the products. Estimation of the radical concentrations indicated that only the methyl, 2-propyl and methylallyl radicals are of importance in the chain termination. On the basis of the inhibition-influenced curves, the role of the bimolecular initiation steps. could be clarified in the presence of 2-butene.

in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give an inseparable mixture of tris(methoxycarbonyl)- ( 3 ) and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane, colourless crystals of lithium bis(methoxycarbonyl)phosphanide-1,2-dimethoxyethane (2/3) ( 4a ) are isolated in 84% yield from an analogous reaction with (1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O ′)lithium phosphanide ( 2a ) in a molar ratio of 2:3. When, however, this ratio is changed to 1:2 or 1:1, the ³¹ P nmr spectra of those solutions show the formation of the by-product lithium methoxycarbonylphosphanide ( 10 ) or methoxycarbonylphosphane ( 6 ) respectively. The function of phosphanide 10 as an important intermediate in the synthesis of the phosphaalkyne P?C? O? Li(dme) ₂ ( Ia ) [1] is discussed in detail. With trifluoroacetic acid in 1,2-dimethoxyethane the diacylphosphanide 4a is converted via a lithium-hydrogen exchange into bis(methoxycarbonyl)phosphane ( 9 ). Unlike 1,3-diketones and other diacylphosphanes [25], solutions of this compound do not show the presence of an enol tautomer even in very unpolar solvents. Tris(methoxycarbonyl)phosphane ( 3 ) obtained in a pure state from methyl chloroformate and phosphanide 2a , might decarboxylate to give the corresponding bis(methoxycarbonyl)methyl derivative 5 when the reaction mixture is worked up. ³¹P and characteristic ³¹C nmr data of these methoxycarbonylphosphanes and their related lithium phosphanides are compared with each other, the tris(phenoxycarbonyl) ( 7 ) and the bis(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl compound 8 being included.

Radical Ions of a Bishomobinaphthylene Containing two 1,6-methano[10]annulene moieties: An ESR and ENDOR study

The radical cation and the radical anion of ‘syn’-cyclobuta[1,2-c:3,4-c′]di-1,6-methano[10]annulene (‘syn’-4a,12a:6a, 10a-bishomobinaphthylene; 3 ) have been characterized by their hyperfine data. The highly resolved ESR spectrum of $ 3^{+ \atop \dot{}} $ is dominated by a triplet splitting from the outer pair of methano β-protons (H_o). In contrast, the ESR spectrum of $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ is poorly resolved with the largest coupling constants arising from perimeter α-protons. The different hyperfine features of $ 3^{+ \atop \dot{}} $ and $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ are rationalized by MO models. The SOMO of $ 3^{+ \atop \dot{}} $ ψ_SA(b₁), has substantial LCAO coefficients of the same sign at the bridged atoms C(1), C(6), C(11), and C(16), whereas in the SOMO of $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $, ψ_SS(a₁), the four atoms lie in the vertical nodal planes. The large width and the reluctance to saturation of the lines in the ESR spectrum of $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ are attributed to the near-degeneracy of the lowest antibonding MO's. Due to their similar nodal properties, the SOMO's of $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ and the radical anions of binaphthylene ( 4 ), 1,6-methano[10]annulene ( 1 ), and naphthalene ( 2 ) are interrelated. Moreover, because the cyclic π-systems in 3 and 1 deviate in the same way from planarity, the effect of such distortions on the coupling constants, a_Hμ, of the perimeter α-protons in $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ and $ 1^{- \atop \dot{}} $ should be comparable. Indeed, on going from $ 4^{- \atop \dot{}} $ to $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $, the |a_Hμ| values are reduced exactaly by half as much as the corresponding values on passing from $ 2^{- \atop \dot{}} $ to $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $, of which the cyclic π-systems are twice contained in $ 4^{- \atop \dot{}} $ and $ 3^{- \atop \dot{}} $ respectively.     

A kinetic study of the autocatalytic permanganate oxidation of formic acid

The kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous perchloric acid has been studied. The results indicate that this reaction is autocatalyzed by both manganese(II) ion (formed as a reaction product) and colloidal manganese dioxide (formed as an intermediate). The apparent rate constants corresponding to the noncatalytic and autocatalytic reaction pathways are given, respectively, by the following equations The activation energies associated with the true rate constants, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, and ?? are 37.2, 62.5, 70.9, 52.5, 40.8, and 59.9 kJ mol^?1, respectively. The percentage of the total reaction corresponding to each pathway is given for typical experimental conditions. Mechanisms in agreement with the kinetic data are proposed for the six different reaction pathways observed.

Iron complexes of terdentate nitrogen ligands: formation and X-ray structure of three new dicationic complexes

Dicationic iron complexes were obtained upon complexation of the ligands 6,6″-di(p-tolyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (L¹) or 2,6-bis-(3-mesitylpyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (L²) with iron dichloride or iron trichloride. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. Single crystal structure determinations of , and all show six-coordinate metal center. These complexes were obtained from L¹FeCl₂ and L²FeCl₂ during recrystallization attempts. (L¹)₂Fe²⁺ was shown to be a high-spin complex, whereas (L²)₂Fe²⁺ was shown to be low-spin. For , two independent dications of very similar geometry but with distinctive distortion were observed by X-ray analysis.     

Massenspektrometrische Untersuchung organischer Stickstoffverbindungen. XXVII—Intramolekulare Redoxreaktionn bei ionisierten ortho-substituierten Nitroaromaten

Collisional activation demonstrates that the stable ions from o-nitrobenzaldehydedimethylacetale possess the structure of ionized o-nitroso benzoic acid methyl ester. Contrary to previous conclusions it is demonstrated that the structure of the stable ions (m/e 135) from different precursors [i.e. o-nitrobenzyl alcohol o-nitrobenzyl cyanide and o-nitrobenzaldoxime is best represented by 2,1-benzisoxazoline-3-one. Ionized o-nitrosobenzaldehtde rearranged to 2,1-benzisoxazoline-3-one prior to collision induced decomposition, whereas 2-benzoxazolinone and 3-hydroxy-1,2-benzisoxazole do not rearrange within 10^?5 s.     

Hydrogen isotope effects on covalent and noncovalent interactions: The case of protonated rare gas clusters

We investigate hydrogen isotope and nuclear quantum effects on geometries and binding energies of small protonated rare gas clusters (Rg $_n$ X $^ +$ , Rg = He,Ne,Ar, X = H,D,T, and $n$ = 1–3) with the any particle molecular orbital (APMO) MP2 level of theory (APMO/MP2). To gain insight on the impact of nuclear quantum effects on the different interactions present in the Rg $_n$ X $^ +$ systems, we propose an APMO/MP2 energy decomposition analysis scheme. For RgH $^ +$ ions, isotopic substitution leads to an increase in the stability of the complex, because polarization and charge transfer contributions increase with the mass of the hydrogen. In the case of Rg $_2$ H $^ +$ complexes, isotopic substitution results in a shortening and weakening of the rare gas‐hydrogen ion bond. For Rg $_3$ X $^ +$ complexes, the isotope effects on the rare gas binding energy are almost negligible. Nevertheless, our results reveal that subtle changes in the charge distribution of the Rg $_2$ X $^ +$ core induced by an isotopic substitution have an impact on the geometry of the Rg $_3$ X $^ +$ complex. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Film Growth and Surface Roughness with Effective Fluctuating Covalent Bonds in Evaporating Aqueous Solution of Reactive Hydrophobic and Polar Groups: A Computer Simulation Model

Summary: A computer simulation model is proposed to study film growth and surface roughness in aqueous (A) solution of hydrophobic (H) and hydrophilic (P) groups on a simple three dimensional lattice of size with an adsorbing substrate. Each group is represented by a particle with appropriate characteristics occupying a unit cube (i.e., eight sites). The Metropolis algorithm is used to move each particle stochastically. The aqueous constituents are allowed to evaporate while the concentration of H and P is constant. Reactions proceed from the substrate and bonded particles can hop within a fluctuating bond length. The film thickness ( ) and its interface width ( ) are examined for hardcore and interacting particles for a range of temperature ( ). Simulation data show a rapid increase in and followed by its non‐monotonic growth and decay before reaching steady‐state and near equilibrium ( ) in asymptotic time step limit. The growth can be described by power laws, e.g., with a typical value of in initial time regime followed by at . For hardcore system, the equilibrium film thickness ( ) and surface roughness ( ) seem to scale linearly with the temperature, i.e., at low and at higher . For interacting functional groups in contrast, the long time (unsaturated) film thickness and surface roughness, and decay rapidly followed by a slow increase on raising the temperature.

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und statistische Untersuchung zur Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6ICl)F]2−, n = 0–7, und Darstellung von (TBA)2[(Mo6I)F]

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆I Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0–7, and Preparation of (TBA)₂[(Mo₆I )F ] The octa-μ₃-iodo-hexafluoro-hexamolybdate(2?)ion [(Mo₆I)F]^2? is prepared for the first time. The system of the 21 innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆ICl)⁴⁺, n = 0–7 is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound I^a on tempering solid [(Mo₆Cl)I] at 400°C. Prolonged tempering leads to increasing average n values of the mixture, which is converted into the tetrabutylammonium salt (TBA)₂[(Mo₆ICl)F]. Using increments of chemical shifts and integral peak intensities the 54 ¹⁹F-nmr signals of the 21 species (compound n = 8 is absent) are assigned and confirmed by the 2 D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum. From the measured intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined and proves significant deviation from statistical occupation, revealing the preference of isomers with iodine atoms occupying edges of the innersphere cube and discrimination of those sharing diagonals of the faces. Moreover all compounds with n = 3 and 4 are present overaverage in comparison to the others.
