Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 8. Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)-quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride

Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride leads to 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls which, except for the ethoxycarbonyl derivative, undergo rearrangement to 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. The last can be synthesized by the alkylation of the corresponding 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls under conditions of interphase catalysis and in the system KOH-DMSO.For Communication 7, see [1].Stavropol' State University, Stavropol' 355009, Russia; nauka@stavsu.ru.

Some remarks on the periodical change of the stability constants of the lanthanide complexes

The correlations between the values of the lgK (K = stability constant of the lanthanide complex) and the reciprocal of the ionic radius 1/r or the sum of the ionization potentials ₁ ³ I for the lanthanide ions were reviewed for different ligands. A straight-line relationship (lgK – lgK)/lgK vs. (1/r – 1/r)/(1/r) or vs. ( ₁ ³ I – ₁ ³ I)/ ₁ ³ I was found within the tetrads La-Nd, Gd-Ho, and Er-Lu.

Pyrimidines. 70. Relative reactivities of the chlorine atoms of 2,2′,4-trichloro-4′,5-dipyrimidinyl in its reaction with piperidine

2,2,4-Trichloro-6-phenyl-4,5-dipyrimidinyl, for which nucleophilic substitution with piperdine under various conditions was studied, was obtained from 2,2,4-trioxo-6-phenyl-1, 1,2,2,3,4-hexahydro-4,5-dipyrimidinyl. It is shown that there is an appreciable difference in the rates of substitution of the first, second, and third chlorine atoms, and this made it possible to obtain reaction products that contain one, two, and three piperidino groups. The chlorine atom in the 4 position is replaced initially, after which the chlorine atom in the 2 position undergoes substitution. The structures of the compounds were proved by chemical transformations and analysis of the PMR spectra.See [1] for communication 69.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 821–826, June, 1979.

Summary Dichloro complexes of Pd^II, [Pd(L–L)Cl₂], where L–L=1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylarsino)ethane (S–As) or 1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane (S–P) andtrans-[PdL₂Cl₂], where L=diphenyl(2-phenylethyl)-phosphine (PE), diphenyl(1-naphthyl)phosphine (PN) orN-methyl-2-thiophenealdimine (SN), have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of these complexes with MeLi were investigated. The dimethyl complexes [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) and [Pd(PE)Me₂] were isolated and characterized. Reaction of [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) with HCl affords the monomethyl derivatives [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)]. In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].

On electrolysis mono- and bicyclic furfuryl-substituted alcohols undergo intramolecular alkoxylation, giving polycyclic spirans. Spiro[perhydrobenzofuran-2, 2-(5-methoxy, 5H)furan] and spiro[4H, 5H, 6H, 11H-naphtho-(,)-furan-2(3H)] [2-(5-methoxy, 5H)furan], hitherto not described, are prepared in this way. On catalytic hydrogenation they give the previously unknown spiro[perhydrobenzofuran-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran] and spiro[4H, 5H, 6H, 11H-naphtho-(,)-furan-2(3H)][2-tetrahydrofuran].For Part XXIX see [1].     

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.

Application of thermal analysis to the study of the kinetics of two-stage reactions

A method is suggested for studying the kinetic parameters of two-stage reactions from thermoanalytical experimental data. The method allows determination of the kinetic characteristics of the process on the basis of integral thermoanalytical data, without separation of the individual stages. Parallel, independent and successive reactions taking place under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions are considered.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.
