Direction of nucleophilic substitution in α, β-unsaturated imino compounds with a donor substituent in the beta position

A mechanism of conversion of -aminovinyl ketones into -aminovinylimines is disclosed. It has been found that in this and a series of other reactions (various conversions of -aminovinyl ketones, -aminovinylimines, and -alkoxyvinylimino salts and their vinyl analogs, cyano compounds, etc.), the intermediate determining the course of the reaction is an ,-unsaturated imino cation. The result of the reaction depends on the site and efficiency of the nucleophilic attack by tautomeric imino salt compounds possessing an unshared electron pair distributed over the various electrophilic sites of the molecule.     

Unusual oxidation reactions of 7α-methyl- and 7α-phenylcholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol

Summary Ozonation of 7-methyl (or 7-phenyl) cholest-5-ene-3,7-diol 3-TBDMS ether afforded the corresponding 5,6-epoxy derivatives. The same product was formed byMCPBA oxidation. The reaction of 7-phenylcholest-5-ene-3,7-diol with CrO₃ yielded 3,7-dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenylcholest-4-ene-5-carboxaldehyde. An analogous B-seco aldehyde was obtained from 7-methylcholest-5-ene-3,7-diol in addition to 7-methylcholesta-4,6-dien-3-one.Jones oxidation of 7-phenylcholest-5-ene-3,7-diol or B-seco-aldehyde gave 3,7-dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenylcholest-4-en-6-oic acid isolated as its methyl ester upon treatment with diazomethane.

Effect of the Structure of the Acyl Group on the Kinetics of Exchange between O-Nucleophiles

We have studied the rate of 15 reactions of acyl transfer from O-acyl salts of 4-dimethylaminostyryl-4-pyridine N-oxide to 4-morpholinopyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine N-oxides in acetonitrile solutions. Analysis of the results based on the Shaik – Pross approach and the Marcus equation shows that if the structure of the acyl group is varied, then the reactivity is determined by such parameters as the resonance interaction in the transition state (B) or the internal barrier (G ₀) of the reaction.     

Competitive Mechanism of the Nonbranched Radical Chain Oxidation of Hydrogen Involving the Free Cyclohydrotetraoxyl Radical [OO•••H•••OO]•, which Inhibits the Chain Process

A nonbranched radical chain mechanism, which does not pass into non-steady-state critical regimes, was proposed for the uncatalyzed oxidation of hydrogen. This mechanism includes competitive reactions with the participation of H, HO, and HO ₂ free radicals and the inactive cyclohydrotetraoxyl radical HO ₄ stabilized by inner hydrogen bonding, wherein the cyclohydrotetraoxyl radical inhibits the chain process. A simple rate equation, which describes the nonmonotonic (with a maximum) dependence of the rate of the nonbranched chain process of hydrogen peroxide and water formation on the concentration of molecular oxygen, was derived using the quasi-steady-state approximation. The nonchain reaction paths of free-radical hydrogen oxidation were considered. It was assumed that the cyclic free radical HO ₄ can be an intermediate in the series of conversions of biologically harmful energy of cosmic radiation in the upper atmosphere.

Kinetic interpretation of the thermal decomposition of anilinium octamolybdate at different heating rate

It has been shown many times, how difficult it is to discriminate among different kinetic models for the non-isothermal decompositions of solids. In this work non-isothermal decomposition data for the complex decomposition of anilinium octamolybdate at different heating rates have been analyzed taking into account temperature values at the same solid conversion in order to divide the temperature influence from the conversion influence in the kinetic model.Results for the apparent activation energy factor and kinetic conversion function are given. Nevertheless it has been not possible to assign a simple kinetic model to the decomposition.

Relative thermodynamic stabilities of allyl vinyl and propenyl vinyl ethers

The relative thermodynamic stabilities of a number of isomeric allyl vinyl and propenyl vinyl ethers were determined by chemical equilibration in DMSO solution with KOBu-t as catalyst. From the temperature dependence of the values of the equilibrium constant the parameters G _m , H _m and S _m of isomerization at 298.15 K were evaluated. Propenyl vinyl ethers, owing to their low enthalpy contents, are much more stable than the isomeric allyl vinyl ethers. It appears that in the parent propenyl vinyl ether, the Me group attached to C- of the divinyl ether skeleton has a strong stabilizing effect, comparable to that of alkyl groups in ordinary olefins, on the unsaturated system. In more heavily alkyl-substituted divinyl ethers, however, the stabilizing effects of alkyl groups are less prominent, being comparable to the low stabilization energies of alkyl groups in vinyl ethers, and depend moreover, on the pattern of substitution.     

Hydrate inclusion compounds

There are three general classes of hydrate inclusion compounds: the gas hydrates, the per-alkyl onium salt hydrates, and the alkylamine hydrates. The first are clathrates, the second are ionic inclusion compounds, the third are semi-clathrates. Crystallization occurs because the H₂O molecules, like SiO₂, can form three-dimensional four-connected nets. With water alone, these are the ices. In the inclusion hydrates, nets with larger voids are stabilized by including other guest molecules. Anions and hydrogen-bonding functional groups can replace water molecules in these nets, in which case the guest species are cations or hydrophobic moieties of organic molecules. The guest must satisfy two criteria. One is dimensional, to ensure a comfortable fit within the voids. The other is functional. The guest molecules cannot have either a single strong hydrogen-bonding group, such as an amide or a carboxylate, or a number of moderately strong hydrogen-bonding groups, as in a polyol or a carbohydrate.The common topological feature of these nets is the pentagonal dodecahedra: i.e., 5¹²-hedron. These are combined with 5¹²6²-hedra, 5¹²6³-hedra, 5¹²6⁴-hedra and combinations of these polyhedra, to from five known nets. Two of these are the well-known 12 and 17 Å cubic gas hydrate structures,Pm3n, Fd3m; one is tetragonal,P4 ₂/mnm, and two are hexagonal,P6 ₃/mmc andP6/mmm. The clathrate hydrates provide examples of the two cubic and the tetragonal structures. The alkyl onium salt hydrates have distorted versions of thePm3n cubic, the tetragonal, and one of the hexagonal structures. The alkylamine hydrate structures hitherto determined provide examples of distorted versions of the two hexagonal structures.There are also three hydrate inclusion structures, represented by single examples, which do not involve the 5¹²-hedra. These are 4(CH₃)₃CHNH₂·39H₂O which is a clathrate; HPF₆·6H₂O and (CH₃)₄NOH·5H₂O which are ionic-water inclusion hydrates. In the monoclinic 6(CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂)·105H₂O and the orthorhombic 3(CH₂CH₂)₂NH·26H₂O, the water structure is more complex. The idealization of these nets in terms of the close-packing of semi-regular polyhedra becomes difficult and artificial. There is an approach towards the complexity of the water salt structures found in the crystals of proteins.     

On the determination of polarity parameters of silica by means of solvatochromic probe dyes

Empirical solvent parameters of silica surfaces are determined by means of solvatochromic dyes, e.g., Cu(tmen) (acac)⁺ ClO ₄ ^– /B(C₆H₅) ₄ ^– , Fe(phen)₂(CN)₂, and Michlers Ketone dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane or cyclohexane. The values obtained by UV/VIS-measurements are compared with both the polarity scales of Kamlet and Taft and with Gutmann's donor and acceptor numbers. Kamlet and Taft's -parameter (the hydrogen-bond donation capacity of a solvent) is determined independently by means of salicylideneaniline. The ^* of silica is determined using 5-N,N-dimethylamino-5-nitro-2,2-bithiophene and the complex of tetracyanoethylene with Michlers Ketone, respectively. Further on the reliabilities of the obtained Kamlet-Taft parameters , , and ^* are checked by comparism with experimental and calculated values of theE _T(30)-parameter of silica by means of multi-parameter regression analysis. The surface properties of silica are influenced mainly by HBD-properties (75%) and dipolarity/polarizability ^* (20%), but hardly by the HBA-properties (<5%). UV/VIS-measurements were carried out in a special equipment with glass fiber optics, A drawing of the apparatus is given.

Crystal Structures of [Ni(Phen)(i‐Bu2PS2)2] and [Ni(Phen)3](i‐Bu2PS2)2 Complexes and Interaction between Coordinated 1,10‐Phenanthroline Molecules

Single crystals of [Ni(Phen)(iBu₂PS₂)₂] (I) and [Ni(Phen)₃](iBu₂PS₂)₂ (III) compounds were grown, and their structures were determined by Xray diffraction analysis (CAD4 diffractometer, MoK radiation, 3336 F _hkl , R = 0.0373 for I and 2575 F _hkl for III). The crystals of complex I have a triclinic unit cell with the following parameters: a = 11.097(1) , b = 14.903(2) , c = 22.650(3); = 75.18(1)°, = 80.50(1)°, = 75.07(1)°, V = 3479.2(7)³, Z = 4, _calc = 1.255 g/cm³, and space group 1; the crystals of III have a monoclinic unit cell with the following parameters: a = 19.010(3), b = 15.481(1) , c = 17.940(3); = 97.58(1)°, V = 5233.5(12)³, Z = 4, _calc = 1.292 g/cm³, and space group C2/c. The structure of complex I is built from mononuclear molecules, and the structure of III, from [Ni(Phen)₃]²⁺ complex cations and i Bu₂PS₂ ^- outersphere anions. The NiN₂S₄ coordination polyhedra in the structure of I and NiN₆ in the structure of III are distorted octahedra. Based on structural data, the interaction between the coordinated Phen molecules of complexes I, [Ni(Phen)₂(iBu₂PS₂)](iBu₂PS₂) (II), and III is considered, as well as the packing modes of these complexes.     

A thermodynamic and structural study of the interactions of pyridino- and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 ligands with some primary organic ammonium cations

Equilibrium constant (K), enthalpy change (H), and entropy change (S) values have been determined calorimetrically at 25°C in 90%MeOH 10%H₂O (v/v) for the interactions of pyridino-18-crown-6 (P18C6) and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 (K₂P18C6) with perchlorate salts of ammonium, benzylammonium,-phenylethylammonium,-phenylethylammonium, and-(1-naphthyl)ethyl-ammonium cations. The crystal structure of the complex of P18C6 with benzylammonium perchlorate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The¹H 1D and 2D NMR spectra of some of these complexes were used to elucidate their structural features in solution. The logK values for the interaction of the ammonium cations with P18C6 are larger than those with K₂P18C6, probably due to the higher degree of structural flexibility of P18C6. Ligand K₂P18C6 displays appreciable - interaction with the-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium cation, but not with the-phenylethylammonium cation.- interaction between ligand and cationSupplementary Data relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No SUP 00000 (22 pages)

Kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions of nitritonickelates(II)

Kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of compounds of general formulaM ₂ ^I M ^II[Ni(NO₂)₆], whereM ^I= K⁺, Rb⁺ or Cs⁺ andM ^II= Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ or Ba²⁺, were investigated on the basis of the respective thermal curves. Calculations of the reaction order and activation energy carried out by the Coats-Redfern method and by Doyle's method (modified by Zsakó) gave similar results, The reaction order is 2 for all the compounds investigated. In the group of potassium salts the activation energy increases fromM ^II=Ca²⁺ toM ^II=Ba²⁺. In the groups of rubidium and caesium salts, the lowest activation energy is observed whenM ^II=Sr²⁺. Such behaviour of the nitritonickelates is explained in terms of structures and the principle of maximum density.

Die Reaktionsordnung ist 2 für sämtliche untersuchten Verbindungen. In der Gruppe der Kaliumsalze steigt die Aktivierungsenergie vonM ^II=Ca²⁺ in RichtungM ^II=Ba²⁺ an. In der Gruppe der Rubidium- und Caesiumsalze wird die niedrigste Aktivierungsenergie beiM ^II=Sr²⁺ beobachtet. Dieses Verhalten der Nitritonickelate wird durch die Strukturen und das Prinzip der maximalen Dichte erklärt.

Substituentenabhängigkeit bei der direktentrans →cis-Photoisomerisierung von donator-substituierten 4′-Diphenylphosphinyl-trans-stilbenen

From the fluorescence quantum yield _f , the fluorescence decay time _f ^w and the quantum yield _tc of thetrans cis photoisomerization results the fraction of perpendicular singlet (perp-S₁) decaying to ground statetrans-stilbenes1. The values of the donor substituted 4-diphenylphosphinyl-trans-stilbenes1 in the solvents toluene andn-propanol are dependent on the donor substituent in1 and the solvent. It is concluded for1 that increasing polarity of the first excited singlet state (tr-S₁) promotes thetrans cis photoisomerization.

     

Extrapolation of isothermal retention data in gas chromatography for chiral recognition studies

Summary The calculation of capacity factors, k, from net retention times, t_R, and the corresponding dead times, t_M, at different temperatures suffers from the limited accuracy of the t_M values. If the temperature coefficient racy of the t_M values. If the temperature coefficient d ln k/d (1/T) only is required, it is sufficient to determine net retention times (t_R)_p at constant inlet pressure p_i for different temperatures, since the temperature dependence of (t_M)_p can be assumed as (t_M)_p=A·e^B/T, with B being approximately independent of the column inlet pressure and of the nature of the carrier gas. The extrapolation and interpolation of (t_R)_p may be either performed by linear regression or graphically with a nomogram for ln (t_R)_p versus 1/T. The resolution factor, , of two components, e.g. enantiomers which are resolved on a chiral stationary phase, can be treated in a similar way. Examples are given for the resolution of enantiomers of two non-proteinogenic amino acids on the new polysiloxane phase L-Chirasil-CPG.     

Excited Π states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes

Electron transitions in divinyl chalcogenides (CH₂=CHXCH=CH₂, where X is S, Se, or Te) have been analyzed using UV absorption spectra of dialkyl and alkyl vinyl chalcogenides. The following relations for the orbital energies are found: ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for Te and ^* < ^* < ^* < ^* for S and Se. For chalcophenes, a correlation between the energy of the excited state (E ^*) of specific symmetry, the ionization potential (I) and the electron affinity (EA) is obtained:E ^*=const+(I+EA)/2. The electron affinity of divinyl chalcogenides is estimated. The correlation between the excited ^* states of divinyl chalcogenides and chalcophenes is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 831–835, May, 1994.
