Structural diversity in a series of alkyl-substituted cesium aryloxides

A family of cesium aryloxides [Cs(OAr)](n) were synthesized and structurally characterized from the reaction of 1:1 or 1:excess stoichiometry of Cs(0) and the appropriate alkyl-substituted phenol: 2-alkylphenol [alkyl = methyl (H-oMP), isopropyl (H-oPP), and tert-butyl (H-oBP)] and 2,6-dialkylphenol [alkyl = methyl (H-DMP), isopropyl (H-DIP), tert-butyl (H-DBP), and phenyl (H-DPhP)]. The products were structurally identified as [Cs(oMP)(H-oMP)(2)](n) (1), [Cs(5)(oPP)(5)](n) (2), [Cs(4)(oBP)(4)(H-oBP)(6)](n) (3x, shown), [Cs(3)(DMP)(3)](n) (4), [Cs(2)(DIP)(2)](n) (5), [Cs(DIP)(H-DIP)](n) (5x), and [Cs(DPhP)](n) (7). Compounds 1-7 were found to adopt complex polymeric structures employing π interactions from the neighboring pendant phenoxide ligands. The solution behavior of these compounds was studied using solution (133)Cs NMR spectroscopy, and for each compound, a single (133)Cs NMR resonance was observed, with chemical shift values found to be strongly solvent-dependent. This implies that monomeric cesium salt species involving solvent interactions exist in solution.

Experimental and computational study of crystalline formic acid composed of the higher-energy conformer

Crystalline formic acid (FA) is studied experimentally and by first-principles simulations in order to identify a bulk solid structure composed of the higher-energy (cis) conformer. In the experiments, deuterated FA (HCOOD) was deposited in a Ne matrix and transformed to the cis conformer by vibrational excitation of the ground state (trans) form. Evaporation of the Ne host above 13 K prepared FA in a bulk solid state mainly composed of cis-FA. Infrared absorption spectroscopy at 4.3 K shows that the obtained solid differs from that composed of trans-FA molecules and that the state persists up to the annealing temperature of at least 110 K. The first-principles simulations reveal various energetically stable periodic chain structures containing cis-FA conformers. These chain structures contain either purely cis or both cis and trans forms. The vibrational frequencies of the calculated structures were compared to the experiment and a tentative assignment is given for a novel solid composed of cis-FA.

General and mild preparation of 2-aminopyridines

A general and facile one-pot amination procedure for the synthesis of 2-aminopyridines from the corresponding pyridine-N-oxides is presented as a mild alternative to S(N)Ar chemistry. A variety of amines and heterocyclic-N-oxides participate effectively in this transformation which uses the phosphonium salt, PyBroP, as a means of substrate activation.     

Three cocrystals and a cocrystal salt of pyrimidin‐2‐amine and glutaric acid

Four new cocrystals of pyrimidin‐2‐amine and propane‐1,3‐dicarboxylic (glutaric) acid were crystallized from three different solvents (acetonitrile, methanol and a 50:50 wt% mixture of methanol and chloroform) and their crystal structures determined. Two of the cocrystals, namely pyrimidin‐2‐amine–glutaric acid (1/1), C₄H₅N₃·C₆H₈O₄, (I) and (II), are polymorphs. The glutaric acid molecule in (I) has a linear conformation, whereas it is twisted in (II). The pyrimidin‐2‐amine–glutaric acid (2/1) cocrystal, 2C₄H₅N₃·C₆H₈O₄, (III), contains glutaric acid in its linear form. Cocrystal–salt bis(2‐aminopyrimidinium) glutarate–glutaric acid (1/2), 2C₄H₆N₃⁺·C₆H₆O₄²⁻·2C₆H₈O₄, (IV), was crystallized from the same solvent as cocrystal (II), supporting the idea of a cocrystal–salt continuum when both the neutral and ionic forms are present in appreciable concentrations in solution. The diversity of the packing motifs in (I)–(IV) is mainly caused by the conformational flexibility of glutaric acid, while the hydrogen‐bond patterns show certain similarities in all four structures.     

Internal structure rebuilding reactions of crystalline and amorphous solids

Structural mechanism of the internal thermal reactions of dehydration and dehydroxylation as of solids well as crystallization of their amorphous products and glasses are considered. They are multi-stage processes, realized through small translative displacements of polymerized anion network elements and diffusional shift of cations. It is the way to equilibrium state of the lowest energy consumption and the least energetic barrier to overcome.

Zusammenfassung Es werden Strukturmechanismen von internen thermischen Reaktionen von Dehydratation und Dehydroxylierung sowie der Kristallisierung der entstehenden amorphen Reaktionsprodukte betrachtet. Dabei handelt es sich um mehrstufige Prozesse, die über kleine translative Verschiebungen von polimerisierten Elementen des Anionennetzwerkes und durch Diffusionsverschiebung von Kationen ablaufen. Dies ist der Weg zum Gleichgewichtszustand mit dem geringsten Energieverbrauch und der niedrigsten, zu überwindenden Energiebarriere.

     

Iron-catalyzed formation of 2-aminopyridines from diynes and cyanamides

Diynes and cyanamides undergo an iron-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition to form highly substituted 2-aminopyridines in an atom-efficient manner that is both high yielding and regioselective. This system was also used to cyclize two terminal alkynes and a cyanamide to afford a 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine product regioselectively.     

Raman spectroscopy of liquid crystalline N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-3-aminopyridines

New homologous series of N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-3-aminopyridines were synthesized, they exhibited a nematic phase. The temperature dependence of their Raman spectra has been observed in the spectral range 900-1800 cm^-1. Some Raman bands show a marked change in their intensity and frequency through the phase transition from crystalline solid to nematic. These bands are ascribed to the vibrational modes related to the core part of the molecule. Such behaviour can be explained by the change of molecular conformation related to the core. Some members of these series exhibited photochromism in the solid state.     

Self-complementarity of oligo-2-aminopyridines: a new class of hydrogen-bonded ladders

A new class of hydrogen-bonded ladders based on hydrogen-bonded dimerization of oligo-alpha-aminopryidines has been demonstrated. Jorgensen's model can be successfully applied to this hydrogen-bonding system in nonpolar solvents. The results show the competitive enthalpy/entropy compensation relationship upon dimerization. Although increasing the number of hydrogen-bonding interactions would enhance the hydrogen-bonding stabilization enthalpy, this stabilization enthalpy per unit would be partially sacrificed to compensate for the entropy loss due to dimerization. These results clearly support the importance of preorganization in designing hydrogen-bonding guest-host molecules.     

Dielectric behaviour of H-bonded liquids and amorphous and crystalline solids

Three aspects of dielectric behaviour and H-bonding in amorphous and crystalline materials are reviewed: (i) where intermolecular H-bond formation on cooling decreases the orientation polarization and renders a substance apparently non-polar and compression tends to restore the original polarization; (ii) where supercooled water imbibed in a synthetic linear and network polymer matrix shows relaxation characteristics of free and bound states of water molecules and a persistence of molecular motions in the glassy state; and (iii) where water molecules included as guests in a macrocyclic conformation of a molecule stabilize its crystal structure, remain orientationally and positionally disordered within the constraint of tetrahedral bonding, and gradually undergo proton-ordering with decrease in temperature. Examples of the first are long-chain isomeric alcohols, of the second hydrophilic polymers and hydrogels, and of the third cyclodextrins.     

Raman spectroscopy of liquid crystalline N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-3-aminopyridines

New homologous series of N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-3-aminopyridines were synthesized, they exhibited a nematic phase. The temperature dependence of their Raman spectra has been observed in the spectral range 900–1800?cm^?1. Some Raman bands show a marked change in their intensity and frequency through the phase transition from crystalline solid to nematic. These bands are ascribed to the vibrational modes related to the core part of the molecule. Such behaviour can be explained by the change of molecular conformation related to the core. Some members of these series exhibited photochromism in the solid state.

Structural diversity in native cyclodextrins/folic acid complexes--from [2]-rotaxane to exclusion compound

The formation of different complexes of folic acid depending on the size of the host cyclodextrin resulting in either an exclusion compound (with the smallest α-cyclodextrin) or 2-rotaxane, where cyclodextrin is threaded over folic acid (with β- and γ-cyclodextrins), is presented. The formation is carried out in water which allows both possible application in pharmaceutical sciences and usage of environmentally friendly "green chemistry". The obtained compounds are thoroughly characterized using one and two dimensional NMR, mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.     

Synthesis,liquid crystalline mesophases and morphologies of diblock copolymers composed of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) block and a nematic liquid crystalline block

In this study, a series of liquid crystalline diblock copolymers, composed of a soft poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) block with a de?ned length and a side-on liquid crystalline poly(3??-acryloyloxypropyl 2,5-di(4?-butyloxybenzoyloxy) benzoate) (P3ADBB) block with different lengths, are synthesised by the atom transfer radical polymerisation. The macromolecular structures, liquid crystalline properties and the microphase-separated morphologies of the diblock copolymer are investigated by ¹H NMR, FT-IR, GPC, POM, DSC and TEM. The results show that the well-de?ned diblock copolymers (PDMS_n-b-P3ADBB_m) possess four different soft/rigid ratios (n = 58, m = 10, 25, 42, 66) and relatively narrow molecular distributions (PDI ≤ 1.30). P3ADBB blocks of the copolymers show nematic sub-phases, which are identical to the mesomorphic behaviour of the homopolymer P3ADBB. After being annealed at 90°C in a vacuum oven for 48 h, the copolymers form a lamellar morphology when m = 10 and morphologies of PDMS spheres embedded in P3ADBB matrix when m = 25, 42 and 66.     

An efficient and chemoselective synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminopyridines via a microwave-assisted multicomponent reaction

A facile and selective synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminopyridines is accomplished via microwave-assisted multi-component reactions controlled by the basicity of amine and the nature of solvent. In addition, a possible mechanism accounting for the reaction was proposed.     

Synthesis of heavily substituted 2-aminopyridines by displacement of a 6-methylsulfinyl group

2-Aminopyridines, with a variety of polar 6-substituents, were elaborated by displacement of a methylsulfinyl group from the 6-position of the pyridine ring. The requisite 6-thiomethyl pyridines were synthesized by reaction of 2-(1-phenylethylidene)propanedinitriles with dimethyl N-cyanodithioiminocarbonate.
