Synthesis of Derivatives of (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)acetic and (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)propionic Acids

An efficient synthesis has been developed for derivatives of (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic and (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)propionic acids by the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with methyl methacrylate, the amide of methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, ethyl bromoacetate, and ethyl acrylate. The hydrolysis of the resultant intermediates by (quinolylthio)acetic and (quinolylthio)propionic acids gave the corresponding acid products, which are also formed in the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with chloroacetic and acrylic acids. The reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with allyl bromide was studied. The potassium permanganate oxidation of the resultant 2-allylthio-4-methylquinoline led to (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic acid.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 403–406, April, 2005.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinylcyclohexane) derivatives

Six nearly monodisperse substituted poly(styrene) homopolymers, poly(styrene) (PS), poly(2-methylstyrene) (P2MS), poly(3-methylstyrene) (P3MS), poly(4-methylstyrene) (P4MS), poly(tertiary-butylstyrene) (PtBS), and poly(α-methylstyrene) (FαMS) were anionically polymerized and subsequently saturated using heterogeneous hydrogenation techniques to poly(vinylcyclohexane) (PVCH), poly(2-methylvinylcyclohexane) (P2MVCH), poly(3-methylvinylcyclohexane) (P3MVCH), poly(4-methylvinylcyclohexane) (P4MVCH), and poly(tertiary-butylvinylcyclohexane) (PtBVCH), respectively. In each case, except PαMS, the materials were saturated to > 99% conversion with no chain degradation. PS hydrogenations required the addition of small amounts of tetrahydrofuran to the reaction solvent cyclohexane to enhance miscibility and eliminate large-scale chain degradation. Density gradient and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were used to characterize the density and glass transition temperature, T_g, of the unsaturated and saturated polymers. Saturation reduces the density by 3% to 11% and changes T_g substantially. The greatest variation in T_g is obtained with the 3-methyl substituted species where a 63°C increase is observed, while the highest measured T_g is 186°C for P2MVCH. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on binary mixtures of hydrogenous and deuterium labeled PVCH derivatives provided a determination of bulk chain statistics. The statistical segment length is relatively insensitive to vinylcyclohexane ring substitution, except with P3MVCH where a 20% greater value is obtained. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-6-Methyl- and 3-Hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines and Their Sulfur-Containing Amino and Hydroxymethyl Derivatives

The aminomethylation of 3-hydroxy-6-methyl- and 3-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines by secondary amines has been investigated. It was shown that like 2-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridine aminomethylation is directed primarily to position 6 and then 4 of the pyridine ring. On heating the aminomethyl derivatives of 3-hydroxy-6-methyl- and 3-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines with acetic anhydride the corresponding acetoxy derivatives were obtained, which were converted on heating with hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids into hydroxy and bromomethyl derivatives. Isothioureidomethyl and benzimidazolylthiomethyl derivatives were synthesized by heating the bromomethyl-substituted derivative with thiourea or with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. The structures of compounds were confirmed by data of ¹H NMR spectra. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1189–1194, August, 2005.
