Tensor polarizabilities of the 4f 7(8 S)5d6s 2 9 D 2,3,4,5,6 levels in Gd I

The optical pumping method with rf detection and the nonlinear level crossing technique were used in parallel electric and magnetic fields to investigate the Stark splitting of all the fine structure levels of the ground multiplet 4f ⁷ (⁸ S) 5d6s ^{2 9} D in Gd I. The tensor polarizabilities were deduced from the level crossing and the rf signals. The variation of the tensor polarizabilities is well reproduced by the LS coupling approximation, except for the small value of the⁹ D ₅ level. A value of the tensor polarizability of the 5d electron is evaluated from the experimental results, ₂(5d)=2.00(6) kHz(kV/cm)². It is shown that the ratio between the electric quadrupole constant and the tensor polarizability is constant, except for the⁹ D ₅ ratio, which is caused by a breakdown of the central field model.

Constituents of Osmanthus absolute, 5th communication. (8 E )-4,7-Epoxymegastigma-5(11),8-diene The title compound 1 has been identified as trace constituent in Osmanthus absolute. The synthesis of 1 was performed by reaction of α-ionone-epoxide ( 4 ) with aluminum tri (isopropylate) in 2-propanol at 130°. Besides 1 we found another bicyclic ether 5 in the lower boiling part of the reaction mixture, and ten further substances with interesting structural features from the less volatile part. Formation mechanism as well as some spectral particularities are discussed in more detail.     

Syntheses of(C_8H_8)Ln(C_9H_7)·(THF)_2(Ln=Pr,Nd)and crystal structure of(C_8H_8)Pr(C_9H_7)·(THF)_2

This paper reports two lanthanide complexes of formula (C_9H_7)Ln(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 whereLn is Pr or Nd,C_9H_7 is indenyl,and C_8H_8 is cyclooctatetraene (COT).The complexes were preparedby the reaction of LnCl_3 with K(C_9H_7) and K_2(C_8H_8) in THF.(C_9H_7)Pr(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 crystallizes inTHF at - 15℃ in the monoclinic space group P2_1:with unit cell dimensions a=8.446(0),b=10.083(2),c=13.407(3),β=105.48(1)°,V=1100.43(35)~3,Dc=1.52g/cm~3 and Z=2.The final R valueis 0.033,R_w value is 0.030,respectively.In (C_9H_7)Pr(C_8H_8)·(THF)_2 a five-membered ring centroid ofC_9H_7,the C_8H_8 ring centroid and the two oxygen atoms from the two THF molecules form a distortedtetrahedral geometry around the metal.     

Na(23)K(9)Tl(15.3): An Unusual Zintl Compound Containing Apparent Tl(5)(7)(-), Tl(4)(8)(-), Tl(3)(7)(-), and Tl(5)(-) Anions

Reaction of the neat elements in tantalum containers at 400 degrees C and then 150 degrees C gives the pure title phase. X-ray crystallography shows that the hexagonal structure (P6(3)/mmc, Z = 2, a = 11.235(1) ?, b = 30.133(5) ?) contains relatively high symmetry clusters Tl(5)(7)(-) (D(3)(h)()), Tl(4)(8)(-) (C(3)(v)(), approximately T(d)), and the new Tl(3)(7)(-) (D(infinity)(h)()) plus Tl(5)(-), the last two disordered over the same elongated site in 1:2 proportions. Cation solvation of these anions is tight and specific, providing good Coulombic trapping of weakly bound electrons on the isolated cluster anions. The observed disorder makes the compound structurally a Zintl phase with a closed shell electron count. EHMO calculations on the novel Tl(3)(7)(-) reveal some bonding similarities with the isoelectronic CO(2), with two good sigma(s,p) bonding and two weakly bonding pi MO's. The Tl-Tl bond lengths therein (3.14 ?) are evidently consistent with multiple bonding. The weak temperature-independent paramagnetism and metallic conductivity (rho(293) approximately 90 &mgr;Omega.cm) of the phase are discussed.     

7-Amino-5-imino-8(5H)-quinolones, 6-Amino-8-imino-5(8H)-quinolones and 7-Alkyl-4,6-dihydroxy-5,8-quinolinediones as potential antiprotozoal agents

Oxidation of 7-amino-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid with silver oxide in dimethylformamide and in the presence of arylamines provided a series of 7-amino-5-arylimino-8(5H)-quinolones (VIIIb). Reaction of 8-dialkylamino-5,6-quinolinediones with triethyloxonium tetrafluoborate gave a series of unstable but synthetically useful enol ethers. These reacted with amines to give 6-amino-8-imino-5(8H)-quinolones, isolated and characterized as tetrafluoborate salts (XIa). Proton magnetic resonance studies showed these to be vinylogous amidinium salts, analogous to those previously obtained with 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone imines. 4,6-Dihydroxy-5,8-quinolinedione underwent free radical alkylation to give a 7-alkyl-4,6-dihydroxy-5,8-quinolinedione. Evaluation of the new compounds against various Plasmodium species in rodents, birds and mosquitoes revealed no significant antimalarial activity.     

7-Deazapurines II. Syntheses and reactions of 5-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile and related compounds

The reaction of 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile (III) with N-methylglycinonitrile gave 4-[(eyanomethyl)methylamino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile (VIa), which upon cycli-zation under Dieckmann conditions afforded 5-amino-7-methyl-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (VIIa). Other examples (VIIb and VIIc) were prepared similarly from the reactions of III with glycinamide and ethyl glycinate, respectively. The preparation of simple 5-amino derivatives of the pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines thus synthesized is described. The alkyla-tion of VIIc with N-cyeloheptylchloroacetamide took place at the ring nitrogen, giving XII. The reaction of VIIa with formamide gave 4-amino-5-methyl-7-phenyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d:4,5-d′ ]-dipyrimidine (XIII), the first member of a new ring system. Treatment of VIIa with carbon disulfide and pyridine afforded another example of this new ring system, 1,5-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl-2H-pyrrolo[2,3-d:4,5-d′] dipyrimidine-2,4-(3H)dithione (XIV).     

Regioselective synthesis of 9-substituted-8-azaguanines (5-amino-3-substituted-3,6-dihydro-7H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-one)

By modifying previously described methods for the synthesis of 9-substituted-guanines from imidazoles, we have developed a new procedure for the regioselective synthesis of 9-substituted-8-azaguanines (5-amino-3-substituted-3,6-dihydro-7H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-one) from triazoles in high yields. The method seems suitable for the introduction of a variety of substituents including sugars, carbocyclic, acyclic and carboacyclic chains.

The compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, and static magnetic susceptibility. The molecular and crystal structures of complexes I and III were determined by X-ray structure analysis.     

Synthesis of 2-oxo-3-benzothiazolineacetyl chloride (7), 5-chloro-2-oxo-3-benzothiazolineacetyl chloride (8) and derivatives

The reaction of 2-oxo-3-benzothiazolineacetic acid ( 5 ) and the 5-chloro analogue 6 with thionyl chloride afforded the titled compounds 7 and 8 . The reaction of 7 or 8 with substituted hydrazines, amines or substituted anilines, alcohols and mercaptans furnished the hydrazides 9–14 , acetamides and acetanilides 16–21 , esters 26–30 and thiolesters 31–37 , respectively. Alternate routes for the synthesis of hydrazide 15 , acetamides and acetanilides 22–25 and thiolesters 35–36 are described. The reaction of 2-oxo-3(2H)-benzothi-azolineacetonitrile with thioacetic acid under acidic conditions afforded 2-oxo-3-benzothiazolineethanethio-amide (38).     

Syntheses of substituted 8-(aminobenzyl)dinaphthodioxaphosphocine 8-oxides

Substituted (8-aminobenzyl)dinaphthodioxaphosphocine 8-oxides were prepared in a two-step process. The first step of the reaction is one-pot synthesis of α-aminophosphonates by the reaction of aldehydes, amines, and trialkyl phosphite in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate. The second step is cyclization of α-aminophosphonates with bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methane in the presence of a catalytic amount of p toluenesulphonic acid under reflux conditions. Their structures were established by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, and mass spectral data. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, 1574–1580, September, 2007.     

Synthesis of aromatic polyethers containing 2,6(7)-dihydroxy [1,3,5(6),7(8)-tetramethylanthracene] units

Friedel–Crafts copolymerization of 4,4′ bis(2,6-dimethylphenoxy-4-Phenyl)sulfone with methylene chloride used both as comonomer and solvent leads to linear and soluble aromatic polyethers containing 2,6(7)-dihydroxy[1,3,5(6),7(8)-tetramethylanthracene] units. The polymerization proceeds by multiple electrophilic substitutions that lead first to diphenylmethane and then to dihydroanthrylene units, followed by dihydrogenation.

Syntheses and Characterization of (C2F5)3BCO and (C3F7)3BCO

The new tris(perfluoroalkyl)borane carbonyls, (C₂F₅)₃BCO and (C₃F₇)₃BCO, were prepared by means of a novel synthetic route using commercially available precursors by reacting K[(C₂F₅)₃BCOOH] and K[(C₃F₇)₃BCOOH] with concentrated sulfuric acid in the last step. The carboxylic acids, K[(C₂F₅)₃BCOOH] and K[(C₃F₇)₃BCOOH], were prepared by oxidative cleavage of the C?C triple bonds in Cs[(C₂F₅)₃BC?CPh] and Cs[(C₃F₇)₃BC?CPh] in a two‐step process to yield K[(C₂F₅)₃BCO? COPh] and K[(C₃F₇)₃BCO? COPh] as isolable intermediates. Crystal structures were obtained of K[(C₂F₅)₃BCO? COPh], K[(C₂F₅)₃BCOOH] ? H₂O, (C₂F₅)₃BCO, K[(C₃F₇)₃BCOOH] ? 2 H₂O, and (C₃F₇)₃BCO. In the crystal structures of (C₂F₅)₃BCO and (C₃F₇)₃BCO the C?O bond lengths are 1.109(2) and 1.103(5) Å, respectively, which are among the shortest observed to date. Tris(pentafluoroethyl)borane carbonyl and (C₃F₇)₃BCO slowly decompose at room temperature to yield CO, difluoroperfluoroalkylboranes and perfluoroalkenes. The decomposition of (C₂F₅)₃BCO was found to follow a first‐order rate law with E_a=107 kJ mol^?1.
