Infrared absorption spectra and structure of 1, 1, 4, 4-tetrasubstituted 1, 4-disilacyclohexanes

The IR absorption spectra of 1,1,4,4-tetramethyl- and 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,4-disilacyclohexanes have been studied. The group spectral analysis of these compounds shows that the silicon atoms have barene properties. The presence at about 980 cm^–1 of one strong band (and not two) of C-C stretching vibrations in agreement with the selection rules confirms the chair form of the heterocycle.     

Chemo- and diastereoselectivity in the dimethyldioxirane oxidation of 2,3-dihydro-4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-ones and 4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-ones. Unusual reactivity of 4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-one 1-oxides

The oxidation of the 1-thiochromanones 1-3 by dimethyldioxirane (DMD) produced the corresponding sulfoxides 4-6 or sulfones 7-9; their relative amounts depended on the amount of oxidant used. A low diastereoselectivity was observed in the sulfoxidation of the 2-substituted 1-thiochromanones 2 and 3, due to the small steric differentiation during the DMD attack. An unusual reactivity pattern was found in the DMD oxidation of the 1-thiochromones 10-12, in that the sulfoxides 13-15 were more reactive toward the electrophilic oxidizing agent than the corresponding sulfides. The observed anomaly may be explained in terms of transannular stabilization of the transition structure (TS) for the sulfone formation, promoted through favorable conformational effects in the sulfoxide. Higher sulfoxide/sulfone ratios were found in solvents of greater hydrogen bond donor capacity, which is in accordance with the postulated stabilizing effect.     

Synthese von 1, 2-annelierten 1, 4-Benzodiazepinen und 4, 1-Benzoxazepinen

The syntheses of 1, 2-annelated 1, 4-benzodiazepines (IV, Y = N) and 4, 1-benzoxazepines (IV, Y = 0) are described (Scheme 1). The key step is a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2-substituted piperazines (II, Z = N? CH₃), piperidines (II, Z = CH₂) or pyrrolidines (II, Z= (CH₂)₀) with activated aryl halides (I).     

In situ X-ray absorption and diffraction studies of carbon coated LiFe1/4Mn1/4Co1/4Ni1/4PO4 cathode during first charge

Synchrotron based in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques are used to study electronic and crystal structure changes of the carbon coated LiFe_1/4Mn_1/4Co_1/4Ni_1/4PO₄ (LiFe_1/4Mn_1/4Co_1/4Ni_1/4PO₄/C) cathode material for Li-ion batteries during the first charge. In situ Fe, Mn, Co and Ni K-edge XAS results revealed that the three voltage plateaus at ～3.6, 4.2 and 4.7 V vs. Li/Li⁺ are attributed to the redox reactions of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺, Mn²⁺/Mn³⁺ and Co²⁺/Co³⁺, respectively, while the apparent capacities above 4.9 V is not originated from the Ni²⁺/Ni³⁺ redox, but very likely from the electrolyte decomposition. Interesting phase transition behaviors of LiFe_1/4Mn_1/4Co_1/4Ni_1/4PO₄/C were observed with the formation of an intermediate phase and the solid solution regions. Combined in situ XAS and XRD techniques indicate fast electronic structural changes and slow bulk crystal structural changes.     

4-Benzylpyridinium-1-cyclopentadienylide

Summary 4-Benzylpyridinium-1-cyclopentadienylide was synthesized, and it was shown that it is very close in properties to pyridinium-1-cyclopentadienylide and differs considerably from its structural isomer 1-benzylpyridinium--4-cyclopentadienylide.     

Synthesis of 5-substituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles, 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitriles and pharmacologically active 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetic acids

Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 5-substituted or unsubstituted ethyl or methyl 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates gave, generally in excellent yields, 5-substituted or unsubstituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-methanols which afforded the corresponding 1-aryl-4-(bromomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid solution. These crude intermediates gave by reaction with potassium cyanide in dimethylsulfoxide solution 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles only in the case of 5-unsubstituted compounds, otherwise mixtures of 5-substituted 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetonitriles and 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitriles were generally obtained. Acetonitriles IIIa,b,i,l gave in excellent yields the corresponding 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-acetic acids Va,b,i,l by alkaline hydrolysis. Compounds Vb,i,l showed in the writhing test appreciable analgesic properties, associated with low acute toxicity; moreover, compound VI exhibited a statistically significant antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced edema assay.
