1,2-Dimethylimidazobenzo-1′, 2′, 3′-thiadiazoles and derived cyanine dyes

New tricylic heterocyclic systems and their methyl derivatives are synthesized. They are 2-methylimidazo[5, 4-e]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole, 2-methylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2', 3-thiadiazole, 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole, and 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole. Quaternary salts of the 1, 2-dimethyl derivatives are used to prepare symmetrical and unsymmetrical trimethinecyanines and dimethinemerocyanines containing rhodanine groups. The absorption maxima of the dyes are displaced towards the long wavelength region compared with imidacarbocyanines. It is shown that when 1, 2-dimetnyl-5-aminobenzoimidazole is thiocyanated, the thiocyano group enters the benzoimidazole ring at position 4, and that 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-e] benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole is less basic than its isomer 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole.     

Synthetic studies in the field of chlorobium chlorophyll

By the condensation of -halogenomethyl derivatives of pyrroles with -unsubstituted pyrroles the synthesis of the following unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes has been effected: 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIa), 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-diniethyl-3-n-propyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane(IIIb), 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIc), and 3-bromo-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIId). Hydrogenation of the unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes IIIa, b, c, and d has given the corresponding monocarboxylic acids IVa, b, c, and d. The formylation of the dipyrrolylmethanemonocarboxylic acid IVa has given 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-formyl-3,3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (V).For communication II, see [1].Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 1045–1047, August, 1970.     

Study of furan compounds

Research on synthesis of polycyclic spirans of the 1, 6-dioxaspiro-[4, 4]nonane group is continued. Electrolysis of methanol solutions of 2-furylcyclopentanol, 2-(5-methyl-furfuryl)cyclopentanol, and 2-furfuryl-1-indanol, gives, by intramolecular alkoxylation, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5dihydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, hitherto undescribed in the literature.

Kinetic studies on the thermal decomposition of glucose and fructose

The thermal decompositions of glucose and fructose were studied by means of the Derivatograph. From the melting temperature up to 300 these monosaccharides decompose and give brown caramel matter. The TG curves as functions of time were taken at various heating rates (0.5–10/min) by the Derivatograph and the activation energies of the decompositions were determined by Ozawa's method.

3,4,3,4-Tetramethyldiphenyl ether readily forms 2,2-dihalo derivatives on bromination and iodination. Heating 2,2-diiodo-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether with copper powder or oxidation, of 2,2-dilithio-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether gives 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran, the structure of which was proved by alternative synthesis from 2,2-dinitroand 2,2-diamino-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyls.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1597–1599, December, 1972.     

Synthesis and some properties of the methyl ester and N,N-diethylamide of 2-azido-5-phenyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid

The methyl ester and N,N-diethylamide of 2-azido-5-phenyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid were obtained by the reaction of the corresponding 4-substituted 2-hydrazino-5-phenylthiazole with NaNO₂ in acid media. IR and UV spectroscopy were used to show that the compounds synthesized retain azide form in both the crystalline state and in solution. The reaction of azides with dicarbonyl compounds gave derivatives of 2-[5-methyl-4-acetyl-or 2-[5-methyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]-5-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 710–714, May, 1993.     

Thermal ignition studies on metallized fuel-oxidizer systems

The thermal ignition behaviour of various mixtures of organic fuels, magnesium and ammonium nitrate (AN) has been examined by differential thermal analysis technique. It has been observed that the thermal decomposition/ignition of organic fuel-AN mixtures is modified significantly in the presence of magnesium metal. The decomposition characteristics of the binary mixtures of AN with various metals indicate the specific action of magnesium and zinc in lowering the decomposition temperature. A possible explanation for the low temperature decomposition is given in terms of the solid state reaction causing the fusion of AN which further reacts with the metal resulting in a highly exothermic reaction.

Zusammenfassung Mittels DTA wurde das thermische Initiierungsverhalten verschiedener Gemische aus organischen Brennstoffen, Magnesium und Ammoniumnitrat (AN) untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die thermische Zersetzung/Initiierung von Gemischen aus organischen Brennstoffen und AN durch die Gegenwart von metallischem Magnesium bedeutsam beeinflußt wird. Die Zersetzungscharakteristiken binären Gemische aus AN und verschiedener Metalle zeigen eine spezielle Wirkung von Magnesium und Zink bei der Herabsetzung der Zersetzungstemperatur. Eine mögliche Erklärung für die Zersetzung bei niedrigerer Temperatur kann in Bezug auf die Festkörperreaktion gesehen werden, die das Schmelzen von AN verursacht, welches dann mit dem Metall stark exotherm reagiert.

Convenient synthesis of 5′-methyl-2′-desoxyuridines

A convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of 5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines. Chlorination of 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyluridines with a mixture of Ph₃P and CCl₄ in DMF affords the 2-desoxy-2-chloro-derivatives, which are then reduced with tributyltin hydride. The crystalline 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines were obtained in overall yields of 40–60%. In a similar way, 5-O-benzoyluridine has given 5-O-benzoyl-2-desoxyuridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–248, February, 1989.

Investigations in the field of the chemistry of 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles. 6. Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-(2′-selenienyl)benzimidazole

2-(2-Selenienyl)benzimidazole has been synthesized by a Weidenhagen reaction and converted into the N-methylated derivative. Electrophilic-substitution reactions (nitration, sulfonation, bromination, chloromethylation, and acylation) in the selenophene ring have been studied. It has been shown that the substituent enters the position of the selenophene ring in most cases. The bromination of 1-methyl-2-(2-selenienyl)benzimidazole in acetic acid produces the 3,5-dibromo derivative, whereas 1-methyl-5(or 6)-bromo-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-selenienyl)benzimidazole is obtained in polyphosphoric acid.For Report 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1531–1534, November, 1983.

The electronic structure of groups of isomeric hetero-aromatic systems

The electronic structure of the configurational isomers of 3-3-, 3-5- and 5-5-bis-oxadiazole, and of trans-,-di-(3-3)-, -(3-5)- and -(5-5)-diazolyl-ethylene, was studied by using the ASMO, SCF, CI procedure developed by Pariser, Parr and Pople. The total -electron energy is taken as the measure for ranging the various isomers and their different configurations in a given order of stability.Predictions based on charge distributions and bond orders are in agreement with the chemical behaviour of the known 3-3 and 5-5 isomers, and are therefore regarded as reliable also for the 3-5 compounds, not described in the literature so far.The calculated value of the lowest singlet transition energy agrees with the observed spectra, with a scatter of ±0.20 eV depending on the particular procedure chosen for calculating the _pqand (App) integrals. The calculated second singlet transition is found to depend on the procedure chosen for those integrals to such an extent as to make the prediction unreliable.

Die totale -Elektronenenergie wurde als Maß für die Stabilität der verschiedenen Isomere und ihrer Konfigurationen gewählt.Voraussagen, die auf Ladungsverteilungen und Bindungsordnungen basieren, sind in Übereinstimmung mit dem chemischen Verhalten der bekannten 3,3- und 5,5-Isomere und wurden deshalb auch als zuverlässig für die 3,5-Verbindungen angesehen, die bis jetzt in der Literatur nicht beschrieben sind.Der berechnete Wert für die niedrigste Singulett-Anregungsenergie stimmt mit den beobachteten Spektren bis auf ±0,2 eV überein, abhängig von der Berechnungsart für die _pqund (App). Die Anregungsenergie für den zweiten Singulettübergang läßt sich in diesem Rahmen nicht vorhersagen.
