Study of furan compounds

Research on synthesis of polycyclic spirans of the 1, 6-dioxaspiro-[4, 4]nonane group is continued. Electrolysis of methanol solutions of 2-furylcyclopentanol, 2-(5-methyl-furfuryl)cyclopentanol, and 2-furfuryl-1-indanol, gives, by intramolecular alkoxylation, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5dihydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, hitherto undescribed in the literature. Depending on the conditions, catalytic hydrogenation of these gives: spiro{perhydiocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{2, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}.For Part XXXI see [1].

3,4,3,4-Tetramethyldiphenyl ether readily forms 2,2-dihalo derivatives on bromination and iodination. Heating 2,2-diiodo-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether with copper powder or oxidation, of 2,2-dilithio-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether gives 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran, the structure of which was proved by alternative synthesis from 2,2-dinitroand 2,2-diamino-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyls.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1597–1599, December, 1972.     

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.

9-(2′,5′-Dimethyl-4′-pyridyl)fluorene in syntheses of fluorospirodihydrofuropyridine and pyridofluoranthene

1,2,5-Trimethyl-4-(9-fluorenylidene)piperidine, which is formed by condensation of fluorene with 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidone, is converted catalytically to 9(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)fluorene, from which 2-methylpyrido[4,5-a]fluoranthene and its demethylated analog were obtained by catalytic dehydrocyclization. Oxidation of 9-(2,5-dimethy1-4-pyridyl)fluorene gave 9-(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)9-fluorenol and fluorene-9-spiro-4-(6-oxo-2-carboxypyrido[4,5-c]-4-6-dihydrofuran). 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7-(9-fluorenyl)indolizine was synthesized by the Chichibabin method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1087–1090, August, 1978.     

Rhodium(I) carbonyl complexes with α-diimine ligands containing amino or hydroxy substituents

-Diimines, RN:C(R)C(R):NR(LL) derived from glyoxal, GLL (R=H) abbreviated as GAA (R= R=4-dimethylaminophenyl) or GHA (R= R=4-hydroxyphenyl), and derived from biacetyl, BLL (R=Me) abbreviated as BDH (R=R= NH₂), BOH (R=NH₂, R=OH) react with carbonylrhodium(I) compounds to give different products depending on the imino substituents in the ligand and/or the solvent employed. The reaction of -diimines bearing amino groups, such as GAA or BDH with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ in acetone yields binuclear [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-LL) while in CH₂Cl₂ ionic [Rh- (CO)₂(LL)]⁺[RhCl₂(CO)₂]^– species are obtained. In acetone [RhCl(CO)₂]₂(-GAA) exists as an equilibrium mixture between two different neutral binuclear species; [Rh(CO)₂(BDH)]⁺ exists as a mixture of two species containing chelate or monodentate bonded diimine respectively. GAA or BDH react in situ with [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ in benzene to yield tetracoordinated monocarbonylated [RhCl(CO)(LL)] compounds. -Diimines (LL) bearing hydroxy groups, such as GHA or BOH react with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ or [RhCl(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ to give pentacoordinated dicarbonylated [RhCl(CO)₂(LL)] compounds.     

Optisch aktive,aromatische Spirane, 11. Mitt.: Synthese optisch aktiver mono- bis heptasubstituierter 5-Methyl- und 5-Ethyl-2,2′-spirobiindane und analoger Naphthalinderivate bekannter Chiralität und enantiomerer Reinheit

Starting from optically active 5,5-dimethyl, diethyl, and 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,2-spirobiindane as well as from 5-ethyl-spirobiindane-5-carboxylic ester of known enantiomeric purity and configuration 75 mono to polysubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes have been prepared. Amongst these are several compounds with rings anellated in the 6,7 (and 6, 7) positions, especially a spirohydrocarbon4 x with orthogonal naphthalene units the circular dichroism of which is reported and discussed.Several mono and disubstituted 5-methyl and ethylindanes (1,2) have been prepared as models for synthetic transformations in the spirobiindane series.From the molar rotations of symmetrically diacylated 5,5-dimethyl and diethyl spirobiindanes (4a, 7b, 7c) empirical ligand parameters for acetyl and methoxycarbonyl were determined which gave much better results in the calculation of the rotations of appropriate spirobiindanes (with the shortened polynomal Ansatz) than the -values deduced previously from 5,5-disubstituted spirobiindanes. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.

Investigations in the field of the chemistry of 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles. 6. Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-(2′-selenienyl)benzimidazole

2-(2-Selenienyl)benzimidazole has been synthesized by a Weidenhagen reaction and converted into the N-methylated derivative. Electrophilic-substitution reactions (nitration, sulfonation, bromination, chloromethylation, and acylation) in the selenophene ring have been studied. It has been shown that the substituent enters the position of the selenophene ring in most cases. The bromination of 1-methyl-2-(2-selenienyl)benzimidazole in acetic acid produces the 3,5-dibromo derivative, whereas 1-methyl-5(or 6)-bromo-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-selenienyl)benzimidazole is obtained in polyphosphoric acid.For Report 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1531–1534, November, 1983.

The coupling of benzimidazolo[2, 1:2, 3]thiazolidin-4-one with benzenediazonium chlorides in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate at pH 4.5–4.0 has yielded 5-arylazo derivatives of the thiazolidone. By a study of the IR and UV spectra of the aryl derivatives of benzimidazolo[2, 1:2, 3]thiazolidin-4-one synthesized, it has been shown that the latter has the azo structure.     

Synthesis and characterization of some methyl complexes of palladium(II). Part 2(1)

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 the dynamic mechanical behavior of nylon 66

Summary The dynamic mechanical properties of nylon 66 films and fibers have been examined, as a function of annealing and drawing, with a Vibron viscoelastometer. It is found that the transition is little affected by annealing treatments, but increase in orientation causes the transition to move to a higher temperature. Experiments, with X-ray diffraction of samples at elevated temperatures, lead to the conclusion that the triclinic to hexagonal phase change does not contribute significantly to the transition. Samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the drawing direction of nylon 66 film, have been used to show that the curves of dynamic tensile modulus versus temperature, for the parallel and perpendicular directions, cross in the neighborhood of the transition. This observation is discussed in relation to the suggestion that the transition is the glass transition in nylon 66.

Zusammenfassung Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von Filmen und Fasern aus Nylon 66 wurden als Funktion der Temperung und Verstreckung mit einem Virbon-Viskoelastometer untersucht. Die -Umwandlung wird wenig durch die Temperung beeinflußt, aber erhöhte Orientierung läßt siezu höheren Temperaturen verlagern. Messungen der Röntgenstreuung bei erhöhten Temperaturen führen zu dem Schluß, daß der Übergang triklin/hexagonal nicht wesentlich zu der -Umwandlung beiträgt. Proben aus verstrecktem Nylon-66-Film, parallel und senkrecht zur Streckrichtung geschnitten, zeigen, daß die Kurven des dynamischenE-Moduls gegen die Temperatur für beide Orientierungen sich in der Nachbarschaft der -Umwandlung überkreuzen. Diese Beobachtung wird hinsichtlich der Vermutung diskutiert, daß die -Umwandlung den Glasübergang in Nylon 66 darstellt.
