Oxidative [3+2]Cycloaddition of Alkynylphosphonates with Heterocyclic N-Imines: Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]Pyridine-3-phosphonates

A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylphosphonates were prepared with moderate to good yields by the oxidative [3+2]cycloaddition of 2-subtituted ethynylphosphonates with in situ generated pyridinium-N-imines and their annulated analogs. 2-Aliphatic and 2-Ph acetylenes demonstrate low activity, and the corresponding pyrazolopyridines were achieved with a moderate yield in the presence of 10 mol% Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O. At the same time, tetraethyl ethynylbisphosphonate, diethyl 2-TMS- and 2-OPh-ethynylphosphonates possess much greater reactivity and the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, and their annulated derivatives were obtained with good to excellent yields without any catalyst. 2-Halogenated ethynylphosphonates also readily reacted with pyridinium-N-imines, forming complex mixtures containing poor amounts of 2-halogenated pyrazolopyridines.     

Cyclocondensation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine

Reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine give mixtures of 7-arylamino-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, 5-methyl-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thione, 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thione, and 5-arylamino-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidines whose ratio depends on the substituent in the aryl group of initial N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamide and solvent nature (the presence of a proton-donor solvent).     

New chemistry of diazafulvenium methides: one way to pyrazoles

Diazafulvenium methides generated from the solution pyrolysis of pyrazolo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazole-2,2-dioxides participate in [8π+2π] cycloadditions giving pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives. 1-Methyl-diazafulvenium, generated under flash vacuum pyrolysis reaction conditions, undergoes an intramolecular sigmatropic [1,8]H shift giving 1-vinyl-1H-pyrazoles.     

New regio/chemoselective synthesis of hydrogenated imidazo[1,5-b]pyridazines

The cascade heterocyclization of 1,2-diamino-4-phenyl-imidazole with ethyl 2-arylidene-2-cyanoacetates affords 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-b]pyridazine-3-carbonitrile derivatives as mixtures of diastereomers. The experimental data and quantum chemical calculations were used to propose processes. The three-component processing with above-mentioned diamine, ethyl cyanoacetate and aromatic aldehydes leads to the same products in generally lower yields.     

Application of the principle of congruence to ternary alkane mixtures

Excess enthalpies and excess volumes at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured for mixtures of n-hexane + (an equimolar mixture of n-tridecane + n-nonadecane). The agreement of the results with the corresponding results for mixtures of n-hexane + n-hexadecane is interpreted as confirmation of the applicability of the principle of congruence to multicomponent mixtures.     

Quantum-chemical and correlation study on tautomerism and ionization of Quinalizarin

Quinalizarin and anions derived therefrom exist as equilibrium mixtures of different tautomers and conformers, whose structure depends on the conditions. Quinalizarin was shown to have 9,10-, 1,10-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,7-, and 2,9-quinoid structures, but not 1,2-quinoid structure; and its anions in ethanol media were identified as 9,10-, 1,10-, 2,9-, and 1,5-quinoid tautomers. Interactions with solvents and ionization could give rise to displacement of tautomeric and conformational equilibria, leading to considerable change in the number and position of π _l ,π* bands in the electronic absorption spectra, which are responsible for the color.     

Surface tensions and surface heats of mixing of mixtures of 1,2-dibromoethane with cyclohexane,benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene,and p-xylene at 298.15, 303.15, And 308.15 K

Surface tensions of mixtures of 1,2-dibromoethane+cyclohexane, benzene, +toluene, +o-xylene, +m-xylene, and +p-xylene have been measured as a function of composition at 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K. Interchange energies and surface heats of mixing in these mixtures were computed.     

Diversifying the superbase-catalyzed C=N bond ethynylation: triaryl-1-pyrrolines and triaryl-1H-pyrroles from N-benzyl aldimines and arylacetylenes

N-Benzyl aldimines react with arylacetylenes in the presence of Bu^tOK/DMSO superbase system to afford 2,3,5-triaryl-1-pyrrolines as two tautomers with 1,2- and 1,5-location of the double bond, both being the trans-diastereomers. This version of the C=N bond ethynylation differs from the previous one with N-benzyl ketimines. The oxidation of the pyrroline tautomeric mixtures without their isolation gives 2,3,5-triaryl-1H-pyrroles.     

Ultrasonic behaviour of methyl methacrylate+hydrocarbon mixtures at 298.15 and 308.15 K

The excess isentropic compressibilities, K_s^E for seven binary mixtures of methyl methacrylate+benzene, +o-xylene, +m-xylene, +p-xylene, +toluene, +ethylbenzene and +cyclohexane were estimated from the measured densities and speeds of sound at 298.15 and 308.15 K. The K_s^E values were large and positive for MMA+cyclohexane and +m-xylene, while they were negative for other mixtures. A qualitative analysis of K_s^E values was made in terms of molecular interactions. The speeds of sound of all the mixtures were also predicted from the free length theory (FLT) and collision factor theory (CFT).     

Solid + liquid phase diagrams,NMR and colorimetric measurements of mixtures

Solid+liquid equilibrium, NMR and colorimetric measurements have been made for the mixtures of o-phenylenediamine+phenol, p-phenylenediamine+hydroquinone, m-phenylenediamine+phenol, m-phenylenediamine+hydroquinone, p-phenylenediamine+phenol, and p-phenylenediamine+hydroquinone. The types and melting temperatures of the complexes formed in these mixtures were ascertained from phase diagrams. The nature of the complexes was ascertained from colorimetric and NMR data.     

Excess enthalpies of the ternary mixtures: tetrahydrofuran + (diisopropyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran) + n-heptane at 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies, measured at 298.15 K in a flow microcalorimeter, are reported for the ternary mixtures (tetrahydrofuran + diisopropyl ether + n-heptane) and (tetrahydrofuran + 2-methyltetrahydrofuran + n-heptane). Smooth representations of the results are described and used to construct constant excess molar enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. The latter are compared with diagrams obtained when the model of Liebermann and Fried is used to estimate the excess enthalpies of the ternary mixtures from the physical properties of the components and their binary mixtures.     

Volumes of mixing of n-octylacetate + n-alkanes: an interpretation in terms of the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory

The results of measurements of molar excess volumes V^E at 303.15 K over the whole mole fraction range for eight mixtures: n-octylacetate + n-hexane; +n--heptane; + n-octane; +nn-nonane; + n-decane; +nn-dodecane; + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane are presented. The experimental values of V^E show a regular pattern of behaviour for the eight sets of binary mixtures. The magnitude of V^E for this class of mixtures decreases as the n-alkane chain-length decreases. In order to explain the observed behaviour, the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory is used to predict the total V^E and the three different contributions to V^E. Agreement between the theoretical and experimental V^E is reasonable for the eight systems     

Electrochemical switching of monomer—associate in the system tetraviologen calix[4]resorcinol—3,7-di(l-menthyl)-1,5-di(p-sulfonatophenyl)-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane

The possibility of controlling the association of tetraviologen calix[4]resorcinol (MVCA-C₅ ⁸⁺) with 3,7-di(l-menthyl)-1,5-di(p-sulfonatophenyl)-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane (APCO-2^2?) in the electrochemical cycle of reduction-reoxidation of viologen units was shown. Reduction to tetra(radical cation) MVCA-C₅ ^4+· transforms monomeric MVCA-C₅ ⁸⁺ and APCO-2^2- into the associate (π-polymer) (xAPCO-2^2?·yMVCA-C₅ ^4+·) _n , which is completely returned by reoxidation to the initial state.     

Relevance of torsional effects to the conformational equilibria of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalins: a theoretical and experimental study

1,5-Diaza-cis-decalin populates two conformations in which the nitrogen atoms are either gauche (N-in) or anti (N-out) to one another. The equilibrium mixture of the two conformers depends on the substituents at the nitrogen atom, as well as the reaction conditions. Ab initio (HF/6-31G, B3LYP/6-31+G) and molecular mechanics (Amber) calculations have been performed to examine the possible role of stereoelectronics and steric effects in controlling the equilibrium of substituted 1,5-diaza-cis-decalins. In the present study, N,N'-diethyl- and N,N'-bistrifluoroethyl-1,5-diaza-cis-decalins have been synthesized, and the equilibrium mixtures have been measured using 1H and 13C NMR experiments. Steric effects appear to control the equilibria between the two conformational isomers of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin while torsional effects appear to dominate the equilibria for the N,N'-dialkyl derivatives.     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines and imidazo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines proceeding from alkyl 2-benzylidene-3-oxo-3-fluoroalkylpropionates

Methods were developed of the synthesis of alkyl 2-hydroxy-2-fluoroalkyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4—tetrahydroimidazo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and alkyl-5-hydroxy-2,7-diphenyl-5-fluoroalkyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates by regioselective [3+3]-cycloaddition of 5-aminoimidazole or 5-aminopyrazole to alkyl 2-benzylidene-3-oxo-3-fluoroalkylpropionates at the fluoroacylvinyl fragment.     

Thermal properties of ternary systems: The calculation of the standard enthalpy of solution for compounds in binary mixtures

An equation free of fitting parameters is proposed for calculating the standard heats of solution for compounds in nonaqueous binary mixtures. The parameters of the equation are the standard heats of solution of a compound in the components of the mixed solvent. Nonlinear ΔH ⁰(x) trends are reconstructed for solutions of water in i-PrOH + MeOH and MeCN + MeOH, t-BuOH in MeCN + MeOH, squalane in CHCl₃ + CCl₄ and C₆H₆ + CHCl₃, and hexadecane in MeOH + i-Pr₂O and in mixtures of butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and 1,4-dioxane with 1-octanol. The standard heats of solutions are calculated for water in alcohol + alcohol, alcohol + aprotic solvent, and aprotic solvent + aprotic solvent mixtures     

Molecular interactions in binary mixtures of non-electrolytes: Molar excess enthalpies

Molar excess enthalpies, H^E, for pyridine (i) + α-picoline (j), + β-picoline (j), + γ-picoline (j); pyridine (i) + cyclohexane (j); β-picoline (i) + cyclohexane (j); methylenebromide (i) + pyridine (j), + β-picoline (j) mixtures have been measured calorimetrically as a function of temperature and composition. The H^E data at 298.15 and 308.15 K have been analysed in terms of the Sanchez and Lacombe theory and the “graph theoretical approach”. The graph theoretical approach describes the H^E data well for all these mixtures. This approach has been critically examined and it is found to provide an insight into the nature of molecular interactions between the components of these mixtures. NMR studies on methylene bromide (i) + β-picoline (j) andβ-picoline (i) + pyridine (j) further support these conclusions.     

Reactions of α-aminoazoles with diethyl benzylidenemalonate

Cyclocondensations of diethyl benzylidenemalonate with 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole, and 2-amino-benzimidazole in alcohols take a single route and lead to the formation of functionally substituted partially hydrogenated pyrazolo-, triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidin-5-ones and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-one respectively. From reaction mixtures involving 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and its 5-methylsulfanyl analog in methanol the intermediate products of heterocyclization were isolated forming as a result of alkylation with the β-carbon of the unsaturated ester the endocyclic nucleophilic sites of aminoazoles. The structure of one among the products obtained, diethyl(3-amino-5-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazol-2-yl)benzylmalonate was proved by X-ray crystallography. In DMF the same reagents yielded mixtures of partially hydrogenated triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones.     

Enthalpic interaction coefficients of NaI–alkanediol pairs in methanol and in water

The dissolution enthalpies of NaI in the mixtures of methanol with 1,2-alkanediols (1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol) and with ??,??-alkanediols (1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol), as well NaI in the mixtures of water with 1,3-propanediol and 1,2-pentanediol, were determined at 298.15?K. The energetic effect of interactions between the investigated alkanediols and NaI in methanol and in water was calculated using the enthalpic pair interaction coefficients (h _xy ) model. These results along with the other data concerning the NaI?Cnon-electrolyte pairs taken from our earlier reports and from the literature were analyzed with respect to the effect of the non-electrolyte properties on the variations of the h _xy values. The group contributions illustrating the interactions of NaI with selected functional groups in non-electrolyte (alkanediol and alkanol) molecules, namely: CH₂ and OH groups were calculated and discussed.     

Thermally induced opening of the diaziridine ring in 6-aryl-2-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Thermally induced opening of the diaziridine ring in 6-aryl-2-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]-hexanes at the carbon-nitrogen bond is characterized by low regioselectivity; isomerization of unstable intermediate azomethine imines leads to mixtures of the corresponding 1-arylmethyl-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles and 1-arylmethyl-3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles at a ratio of ～6:5. Analogous regioselectivity in opening of the three-membered ring is observed in the presence of phenyl isocyanate. In this case, adducts with cis arrangement of the aryl and methyl groups are formed as the major products (cis/trans ratio ～3:1).
