Quaternary trialkyl(polyfluoroalkyl)ammonium salts including liquid iodides

New quaternary ammonium salts that contain polyfluorinated alkyl substituents were prepared by the polyfluoroalkylation of tertiary amines with polyfluorinated alkyl iodides. Metathesis reactions of the iodide salts with fluorine-containing anions resulted in new low melting salts. The iodide salts of the tri(isooctyl)polyfluoroalkyl amines are also liquids at 25°C.     

Novel Reactions of Ambident Sulphur Compounds

Abstract

Regioselectivities in reactions of ambident ions depend on the electronic effects of substituents (allopolarization principle). New reactions of thioenolate anions, thioamide anions and 1-alkylthio-vin-amidinium cations lead to 3,4-bis-dimethylamino-thieno(2,3-b) thiophene, diazaquinodimethanes, derivatives of 2,4-bis-methylthio-benzodiazepine, thiophenes, heterofulvalenes, heterosesquifulvalenes and heteroheptafulvalenes. Some of these electron-rich compounds form charge transfer-complexes and radical cation salts.     

Organocatalyzed Aldol Reaction between Pyridine‐2‐carbaldehydes and α‐Ketoacids: A Straightforward Route towards Indolizidines and Isotetronic Acids

Enantioselective aldol reactions between substituted pyridine carbaldehydes and α‐ketoacids were shown to provide isotetronic acids or their corresponding pyridinium salts, depending on the nature of the substituents on the pyridine ring. The pyridinium salts were generated through nucleophilic attack of the pyridine nitrogen atom onto the reactive keto functional group. Moderate‐to‐good yields of both compounds were typically obtained and high levels of enantioselectivity were observed by using benzimidazole pyrrolidine I as a catalyst. Hydrogenation of the resulting pyridinium salts led to new indolizidines with high ee values and diastereocontrol. X‐ray diffraction studies allowed the determination of the relative configuration of the products. Finally, DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the divergent pathway as a function of the pyridine substituents.     

The pyrylation of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds

Pyrylium salts having no substituents in position 4 react with aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds forming 4-aryl- and 4-heterylpyrylium derivatives. The reaction takes place through the stage of the formation of a pyran which, with an excess of the initial pyrylium salt, splits out a hydride ion, aromatizing into a trisubstituted pyrylium cation.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 6, pp. 733–738, June, 1970.     

Tuning J-aggregate Formation and Emission Efficiency in Cationic Diazapentacenium Dyes

Enhancement of the luminescence efficiency of two new diazapentacenium salts ( D1 and D2 ) of more than 55 for D1 and 22 times for D2 ) in poor solvents, acetonitrile and/or dichloromethane, was observed and rationalized as formation of emissive J-aggregates. Both compounds displaying 4-n-decylphenyl substituents at the 7,14-carbons and phenyl ( D1 ) or 2,6-difluorophenyl ( D2 ) substituents at the quaternary nitrogen atoms in 5,12-positions have been synthetized in a two-step procedure involving a two-fold Buchwald-Hartwig-type CN cross-coupling and an electrophilic Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization. The optical properties of the dicationic diazapentacenium salts in various solvents and in thin films have been investigated by steady-state and time-resolved absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies. In thin films and in good solvents, isolated molecules coexist with aggregates. Nonetheless, D1 is seven times more emissive than D2 , reflecting a higher J-aggregate contribution in the former.     

Organophosphorus chemistry—V : Thermal transformation of the cyclohexylammonium salt of O-aryl N-cyclohexyl phosphoramidic acids into sym-pyrophosphates

The formation of pyrophosphates from phosphorus monoamidates was studied by TGA associated with chromatographic techniques upto 320°. Above this temperature the salts decomposed completely. Other compounds were also formed: diamidophosphoric acid aryl esters, pyrophosphorus amidic acids, cyclohexylamine, phenols and a number of minor thermoproducts. The influence of substituents attached to the aromatic ring on the over-all rate of decomposition reaction showed the order: t-Bu > Me > H > Cl. Anomalous results were found for NO₂. Second order rate constants were measured. A mechanism in two steps is suggested for the reaction investigated. Initial formation of free phosphoramidic acid as proposed by Clark appears to be unnecessary. Pyrolysis stequiometric equation was proposed.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of New Dialkyl(diaryl)-2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(phenylethenyl)pentylphosphonium Salts

New dialkyl(diaryl)-2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(phenylethenyl)pentylphosphonium salts bearing various substituents at the phosphorus atom were synthesized. Antimicrobial activity of the salts obtained was estimated. Derivatives with 2-methoxyphenyl substituents at the phosphorus atom are most active against grampositive bacteria. Herewith, dibenzyl-substituted phosphonium derivatives possess the best antifungal activity.     

Cyclopropyl-substituted pyrylium salts

The previously unknown 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrylium salts 1-4 , carrying cyclopropyl and methyl or phenyl substituents in the same molecule, and 5-8 , substituted with isopropyl groups instead of cyclopropyl, were synthesized as perchlorates. The electronic spectra and the C-13 nmr spectra of the two groups of compounds were compared. A cyclopropyl group has a batochromic effect on the electronic spectrum roughly half that exerted by a phenyl; replacement of an alkyl by a cyclopropyl shifts the highest wavelength absorption band by about 20 nm. Presence of phenyl substituents reduces the batochromic effects of cyclopropyl substituents. The effects of both cyclopropyl and phenyl substituents on the electronic spectra are smaller for pyrylium than for tropylium. The nmr signals for all the ring carbons are shifted upfield upon replacement of isopropyl by cyclopropyl; in particular, the effect of substituents in position 2 upon the chemical shift of C(4) indicates that the electron-releasing effect varies in the series alkyl < phenyl < cyclopropyl, in agreement with the findings for 2,6-disubstituted pyrylium salts. The difference between the chemical shifts for the methine and methylene carbons of the three-membered ring is a function of the electron demand of the cationic heterocycle.     

Inhibitory activity of fluorine-containing quaternary ammonium salts comprising an N-methylpiperazinyl moiety

New fluorine-containing quaternary ammonium salts comprising an N-methylpiperazinyl moiety, which exhibited a high inhibiting capacity against hydrochloric acid corrosion of low-carbon steel, were synthesized. The polarization-resistance method was applied to determine the uniform corrosion rate of steel-3 in relation to the structure and concentration of the fluorine-containing substituents in the salts. It was found that the structure of the fluorine-containing moiety of the quaternary ammonium salts does not significantly influence the corrosion processes.     

Synthesis and investigation of some 5, 6-benzo-2, 2'-diquinolyl derivatives

New 5,6-benzo-2,2'-diquinolyl derivatives were obtained. The optimum conditions for the formation of Cu(I) complexes were investigated. It is shown that the UV spectra of the synthesized compounds and the chromaticity of the complex are determined by the effect of the substituents, their planar orientation, and, mainly, by the planarity of the system.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1396–1399, October, 1972.     

New Method of Halogenation of Organophosphorus Compounds

Abstract

N-Chloroalkylamines react usually with tervalent phosphorus compounds to afford products, containing the phosphorus-nitrogen bond. We found that the sterical hindrances favour to the nucleophilic attack of the tervalent phosphorus atom on the “positive” halogen atom with the formation of phosphorus halogenated products. Sterical hindered N-halogenoalkylamines I (Hlg[dbnd]Cl,Br) possess active halogenating properties to react with tervalent phosphorus compounds similarly to methane tetrahalides. Reaction proceeds via the formation of halogenophosphonium intermediates 2, containing an anion R₂N, which reacts with alcohols to afford alkoxyphosphonium salts, transforms into halogenophosphonium salts or P-halogenoylids. Advantages of N-halogenoalkylamines 1 over methane tetrahalides are more high chemical selectivity. Moreover the inclusion of chiral substituents R into N-halogenoalkylamines gives enantioselective halogenating reagents.     

Prediction of the properties and thermodynamics of formation for energetic nitrogen‐rich salts composed of triaminoguanidinium cation and 5‐nitroiminotetrazolate‐based anions

Density functional theory and volume‐based thermodynamics calculations were performed to study the effects of different substituents and linkages on the densities, heats of formation (HOFs), energetic properties, and thermodynamics of formation for a series of energetic nitrogen‐rich salts composed of triaminoguanidinium cation and 5‐nitroiminotetrazolate anions. The results show that the ? NO₂, ? NF₂, or ? N₃ group is an effective substituent for increasing the densities of the 5‐nitroiminotetrazolate salts, whereas the effects of the bridge groups on the density are coupled with those of the substituents. The substitution of the group ? NH₂, ? NO₂, ? NF₂, ? N₃, or the nitrogen bridge is helpful for increasing the HOFs of the salts. The calculated energetic properties indicate that the ? NO₂, ? NF₂, ? N₃, or ? N?N? group is an effective structural unit for improving the detonation performance for salts. The thermodynamics of formation of the salts show that all the salts may be synthesized easily by the proposed reactions. The structure‐property relationships provide basic information for the molecular design of novel high‐energy salts. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Dediazoniation of Arenediazonium Ions. Part XXII. Reactions of 2, 6-Dialkyl-Substituted Benzenediazonium Ions in Super Acids,Acetonitrile and Acetone

Reactions of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenediazonium ( 1 ), 2,6-diethylbenzenediazonium ( 2 ) and 2,6-diisopropylbenzenediazonium ( 3 ) tetrafluoroborates were studied in magic acid, SbF₅/SO₂ClF, acetonitrile and acetone by ¹H-NMR and by analysis of the dediazoniation products. The N_α-N_β rearrangement of β-N¹⁵-labelled tetrafluoroborates 1–3 was followed by ¹⁵N-NMR of the corresponding arylazonaphthols, as well as by MS analysis of the anilines obtained by reduction of the azo compounds. Diazonium salts 2 and 3 were synthesized for the first time and the steric effect of substituents at C(2) and C(6) on the reactions under study is discussed. All the results obtained can be rationalized by heterolytic dediazoniation of diazonium salts 1 – 3 and product formation from the corresponding aryl cations.     

Redox behavior of pyridinium salts and their polymers having radical stabilizing groups

The redox behavior of pyridinium salts having various substituents capable of stabilizing pyridinyl radicals at the 4-position was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in water with a platinum electrode, and their redox potentials were more positive in the order of 4-substituents of acetyl > cyano > carbomethoxy > carbamide groups. Sodium dithionite was found to be suitable for a chemical reducing agent of the pyridinium salts. Two types of homopolymers with pendant 4-carbamido-pyridinium groups were prepared and their redox potentials were more positive than the corresponding model compounds. The positive shift might be caused by charge repulsion between the neighboring pyridinium cations on the polymer main chain in the oxidized state.     

Efficient photoacids based upon triarylamine dialkylsulfonium salts

New triarylamine dialkylsulfonium salts that are photosensitive in the near-ultraviolet have been prepared. The quantum yields of photoacid generation were found to be approximately 0.5 and are independent of the counterion. On the other hand, the efficiencies of the sulfonium salts toward the photopolymerization of cyclohexene oxide depend on the counterion and the sulfonium substituents. Photopolymerization kinetic studies demonstrate that these triphenylamine sulfonium salts are highly efficient cationic photoinitiators.     

Synthesis and properties of 1-methylthiopropargylammonium salts and their use as key precursors to sulfur-containing enediynes

1-methylthiopropargylammonium salts were synthesized in a highly efficient manner by reaction of alkynyl S,N-acetals with methyl triflate. Reactions of the 1-methylthiopropargylammonium salts with Grignard reagents gave propargyl sulfides or allenyl sulfides, whereas the reaction with organocopper reagents led to exclusive formation of allenyl sulfides regardless of the nature of substituents on the acetylenic carbon. The salts undergo self-dimerization reactions when treated with organolithium and lithium amide bases.     

2-Aminothiophene derivatives in a novel synthesis of phthalimidines

New aminophthalides were synthesized from o-formylbenzoic acid and substituted 2-aminothiophenes. Two of these compounds underwent recyclization in boiling Ac₂O to give the previously unknown 3-acetoxy-2-(3-cyano-4,5-dimethylthiophen-2-yl)-1,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one and 3-acetoxy-2-(3-cyano-4,5-tetramethylenethiophen-2-yl)-1,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one. The possible reaction mechanism and factors preventing the recyclization, in particular, the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the starting phthalides, were discussed. Some reactions of the resulting compounds with C-nucleophiles in trifluoroacetic acid were investigated. Two derivatives containing 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl substituents were studied by X-ray diffraction.     

Functional modification of naturally occurring ionophores as a new route to chiral receptors

Abstract

New chiral receptors characterized by acyclic polyether skeletons and neutral terminal substituents were derived from naturally occurring monensin, lasalocid, salinomycin and nigericin ionophores. Their chiral recognition ability was investigated by ion-selective electrode and ¹H-NMR spectroscopic methods. Monensin ester and amide derivatives specifically formed 1:1 complexes with chiral amine salts and exhibited excellent enantiomer selectivity, while parent monensin rarely discriminated between the enantiomers of examined amine salts. This review describes how chemical modification of naturally occurring ionophores provides unique molecular recognition functions and a new synthetic strategy for chiral receptor molecules.     

Introduction of new substituents into some aromatic cations

Diverse substituents in the 2- and 6-positions of pyrylium and selenapyrylium salts do not have a substantial effect on the yields in the pyrylation of dimethylaniline and 1-methylindole. The cyclopropenylation and tripylation of these compounds under conditions similar to those in the pyrylation reaction were studied; this study makes it possible to compare these three reactions.     

Etude en RMN de l'Association des Sels de Lanthanides avec des Phénols; Application à la Détermination de Structure de Polyphénols Naturels

Interaction of lanthanide salts with phenols in DMSO solution was investigated as a tool for ¹H NMR structure determination in the field of naturally-occurring polyphenolic compounds. Intermolecular competition experiments evidenced reactivity differences with respect to the nature and position of substituents. Empirical rules of reactivity are suggested from which variations observed in the PMR chemical shifts on addition of lanthanide salts to natural polyphenols (flavones, xanthones) were rationalized.
