Reaction of transsilylation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-trimethylsilylacetamide with silanes ClCH<Subscript>2</Subscript>SiR<Superscript>1</Superscript>R<Superscript>2</Superscript>Cl

The reaction of N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide with silanes ClCH₂SiR¹R²Cl (R¹, R² = H, Me; H, Ph; Ph₂) leads to the formation of (O→Si) chelate compounds with pentacoordinate silicon: N-[chloro(methyl)-silyl]methyl-, N-[chloro(phenyl)silyl]methyl-, and N-[chloro(diphenyl)silyl]methyl-N-methylacetamides. From the data of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, the intermediates of the reaction of N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide with ClCH₂SiPhHCl and ClCH₂SiPh²Cl are stable in CDCl₃ solution at room temperature during several days and slowly rearrange to the final (O–Si) chelate compounds.     

Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-trimethylsilyl-substituded anililes

N-Metallation of bromoanilines with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by a reaction with trimethylchlorosilane provided N-mono and N-bis(trimethylsilyl)bromoanilines depending on the structure of substrate. The metallation of bissilylated bromoanilines with butyllithium permitted the introduction of a trimethylsilyl substituent in the aromatic ring. Previously unknown 2-bromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2,6-dibromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,6-dibromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilylaniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,4,6-tribromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, and 2,4,6-tribromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline were prepared. The structures of the compounds obtained were established by the chromato-mass spectrometry and ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and reduction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-substituted 5-nitrosoquinolin-8-amines

N-Substituted 5-nitrosoquinolin-8-amines were synthesized for the first time by amination of 5-nitrosoquinolin-8-ol with primary aliphatic amines. The amination of 5-nitrosoquinolin-8-ol with hexamethylenediamine afforded N¹,N⁶-bis(5-nitrosoquinolin-8-yl)hexane-1,6-diamine. The resulting nitrosoquinolinamines were reduced with hydrazine hydrate over Pd/C to N⁸-alkylquinoline-5,8-diamines and N¹,N⁶-bis-(5-aminoquinolin-8-yl)hexane-1,6-diamine.     

Stability of <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-element diphosphates in water

The mean atomic Gibbs energies of formation of (Δ _f ? _at ⁰ ) of s-, p-, and d-element diphosphates have been calculated using ion increments of the Gibbs energy (Δ _f G ⁰). The diphosphate hydrolysis kinetics is considered, and a correlation between the Δ _f ? _at ⁰ values and the hydrolysis rate constants is presented.     

Synthesis of N-aryl- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-diethyl-9-methyl-11-sulfanylidene-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo[7.3.1.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]trideca-2,4,6-triene-13-carboxamides

Three-component condensation of N-aryl- and N,N-diethyl-3-oxobutanamides with salicylaldehyde and thiourea in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydrogen sulfate afforded N-aryl- and N,N-diethyl-9-methyl-11-sulfanylidene-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]trideca-2,4,6-triene-13-carboxamides. Reaction of the same compounds in the absence of a catalyst under solvent-free conditions gave N-aryl-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxamides.     

Stereochemistry of dihydroxylation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">endo</Emphasis>- and -<Emphasis Type="Italic">exo</Emphasis>-2,3-dicarboximides

Stereochemistry of the oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides at the double bond with peroxyacetic acid generated in situ in the presence of sulfuric acid and with an anhydrous dioxane solution of peroxyacetic acid was studied. In both cases, the reaction was stereospecific, regardless of the substituent in the N-aryl group and configuration of the imide ring, but the reaction direction depended on the presence of water in the system. In the first case, the corresponding trans-5,6-dihydroxy derivatives were formed, while in the second, exo-5,6-epoxy derivatives. The oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides with a solution of potassium permanganate in aqueous acetone gave the corresponding N-aryl-cis-5,6-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides. The exo,cis,exo and exo,cis,endo configurations of the synthesized compounds were determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Chemistry of iminofurans: X. Synthesis and hydrolysis of 5-aryl(hetaryl)-2-[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)imino]furan-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

5-Aryl(hetaryl)furan-2,3-diones reacted with N-(triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphanylidene)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-amines to give 5-aryl(hetaryl)-2-[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)imino]furan-3(2H)-ones whose acid hydrolysis afforded 4-aryl(hetaryl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-N-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen- 2-yl)but-2-enamides.     

Stereoselectivity of halomethoxylation of 1-phenyltricyclo-[4.1.0.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]heptane and methyl 7-phenyltricyclo[4.1.0.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]-heptane-1-carboxylate

The stereoselectivity of halomethoxylation of 1-phenyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptane and methyl 7-phenyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,7]heptane-1-carboxylate at the central bicyclobutane C¹-C⁷ bond by the action of N-chloro-, N-bromo-, and N-iodosuccinimides in methanol depends on the halogen nature. Conjugate chlorination and bromination are characterized by pronounced anti-stereoselectivity; the contribution of syn-addition slightly increases in going from the monosubstituted tricycloheptane substrate to disubstituted. Iodomethoxylation of the latter is clearly syn-stereoselective.     

Enantioselective microbial synthesis of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-7,8-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,4]benzoxazine

New strains of Rhodococcus erythropolis 25 and Microbacterium paraoxydans 20-11c actinobacteria were used to obtain (S)-7,8-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazine (99.6% ee) by enantioselective microbial hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic N-acetyl derivative.     

Synthesis and structure of silicon-containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methyland <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-benzoylamides of diisopropylphosphoric acid

Diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate reacts with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl under mild conditions to form diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]phosphoramidate (III). Diisopropyl N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl affords an N-transsilylation product which does not rearrange into diisopropyl N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate (XV) even under severe conditions (4 h, 130°C). Compound XV was prepared by the reaction of diisopropyl phosphorochloridate with N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylamine followed by treatment of diisopropyl N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate with boron trichloride. Analysis of experimental and calculated ²⁹Si chemical shifts points to a five-coordinate silicon atom in compound III and a fourcoordinate silicon atom in compound XV. According to B3LYP calculations with due regard to solvent effects, compound III is an isomer with a C=O→Si bond. By variation of substituents at silicon, phosphorus, and carbonyl carbon atoms, chelate structures with either C=O→Si or P=O→Si dative bonds can be obtained.     

Graphene oxide promoted synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-phenylenediamine antioxidants

Three p-phenylenediamine antioxidants (p-phenylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetrapropionic acid tetramethyl ester, p-phenylenediamine-N,N,N′-tripropionic acid trimethyl ester, and p-phenylenediamine-N, N′-dipropionic acid dimethyl ester) were successfully synthesized via atom-economic aza-Michael addition of pphenylenediamine to methyl acrylate p-romoted by graphene oxide in water. The synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR, ESI-MS spectra, and elemental analyses. The effects of the solvent and graphene oxide on the reaction were investigated.     

Alkylation of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-polyfluoroalkylpyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with haloalkanes

The alkylation of ambident anions of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with 4-bromobutyl acetate leads to concurrent formation of O- and N-(4-acetoxybutyl) derivatives. Polar aprotic solvents favor formation of the O-isomer, and weakly polar dioxane favors N-alkylation. The reaction of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one with an equimolar amount of 1,2-dibromoethane in polar acetonitrile gives a mixture of N,N-, O,O-, and N,O-bridged bis-pyrimidines, as well as N- and O-[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl] derivatives, whereas in the presence of 10 equiv of 1,2-dibromoethane the N,O-isomer is formed as the only product. The reaction in weakly polar tetrahydrofuran yields N,N- and N,O-bispyrimidines.     

Splitting of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis></Superscript> atomic states in icosahedral 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis> metal endofullerenes M@C<Subscript>60</Subscript>

Group-theoretical and quantum-chemical investigations of the spectrum of low-lying excited states have been performed by the ROHF and FCI-RAS (Full CI in Restricted Active Space) methods for 3d metal endofullerenes (MEFs) M@C₆₀ (M =Mn, Cr, and Fe) in different charged states. The major purpose of this study is quantum-chemical verification of the anomalous (“non-Bethe’s”) character of splitting of the d ^N atomic states in an electrostatic field with icosahedral symmetry, predicted previously within the theory of integral invariants theory. The interrelation between the integral invariants theory and the quantumchemical methods applied in this work is considered in detail. Our calculations suggest that the d ^N atomic states in the icosahedral field generated by fullerene C60 (I _h ) on a metal atom (ion) remain non-split for different charged states of the metal and C₆₀. Reasons for this phenomenon and other possible approaches to verification of the prediction are discussed. It is demonstrated that the d ^N states of the encapsulated metal are split in icosahedral 3d MEFs only under very strong compression of these structures.     

3-(1-Methyl-1-nitroethyl-1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">ONN</Emphasis>-azoxy)-4-aminofuroxan. Synthesis and transformations of the amino group

A four-step procedure to convert 4-(1-methyl-1-nitroethyl-1-ONN-azoxy)-3-cyanofuroxan into 3-(1-methyl-1-nitroethyl-1-ONN-azoxy)-4-aminofuroxan was developed. The pathways of transformation of the amino group of the synthesized compound into N-nitramino-, N-alkyl-N-nitramino-, N,N’-methylenediamino-, N,N’-methylene-N,N’-dinitramino-, and azo groups were studied.     

Solution Thermodynamics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis><Superscript>/</Superscript>-Ethylenebis-(salicylideneiminato)-diaquochromium(III) Chloride in Aqueous Dimethylsulphoxide

The densities, viscosities and refractive indices of N,N ^/-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)-diaquochromium(III) chloride, [Cr(salen)(H₂O)₂]Cl, in aqueous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with different mass fractions (w ₂ = 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.00) of DMSO were determined at 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. From measured densities, viscosities and refractive indices the apparent molar volumes (V _φ ), standard partial molar volume (V _φ ⁰ ), the slope (S _V ^* ), standard isobaric partial molar expansibility (φ _E ⁰ ) and its temperature dependence (?φ _E ⁰ /?T) _p , the viscosity B-coefficient, its temperature dependence (?B/?T), solvation number (S _n ) and apparent molar refractivity (R _D ^φ ), etc., were calculated and discussed on the basis of ion–ion and ion–solvent interactions. These results revealed that the solutions are characterized by ion–solvent interactions rather than by ion–ion interactions and the complex behaves as a long range structure maker. Thermodynamics of viscous flow was discussed in terms of transition state theory.     

Cyclization of trifluoro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamides to <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazoles

Three-component heterocyclizations of trifluoro-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide, trifluoro-N-pheny-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide, and trifluoro-N,N-di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide with formaldehyde and sodium azide afforded N-{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}-, N-{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}-N-phenyl-, and N,N-bis{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamides as the major products together with minor 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole isomers.     

Viscosities and Surface Tensions of Phenetole with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Dimethylformamide and Tetrahydrofuran Binary Systems at Three Temperatures

Viscosities, η, and surface tensions, σ, of binary systems of phenetole (ethoxy benzene or ethyl phenyl ether) with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide or with tetrahydrofuran were measured over the entire mole fraction range and at (298, 303 and 308) K. The experimental data was used to compute the deviations in viscosity, Δη, and surface tension, Δσ. Values of the excess Gibbs energy of activation G*^E, surface entropy S _σ and surface enthalpy H _σ were calculated. Viscosity data of the binary systems were calculated using the Grunberg and Nissan and the three-body and four-body McAllister correlations. The Redlich–Kister method was used for evaluation of coefficients and standard deviations for Δη, Δσ and G*^E. The results were interpreted in terms of the probable effect of molecular interactions between components as well as polarity.     

Mononuclear cobalt (III) complexes with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzylamine and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine

Cobalt (III) complexes with N-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzylamine (H₂sbba) and N-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine (H₂scba), [n-(C₄H₉)₄N][Co(sbba)₂] (I) and [n-(C₄H₉)₄N][Co(scba)₂] (II), were synthesized. The crystal structure of II was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 90 K confirming its crystallization in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.729(2) Å, b = 16.901(3) Å, c = 21.483(4) Å, β = 98.840(4)°, V = 4208.2(14) ų, D_x = 1.295 g cm^?3, and Z = 4. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values of 0.0664 and 0.1920, respectively, for all 9521 independent reflections. The compound is composed of a tetra(n-butyl)ammonium cation and an octahedral cobalt(III) complex anion with two scba^2? ligands in a meridional fashion. The electronic spectral features of I and II are consistent with the octahedral cobalt(III) ion with an N₂O₄ donor set.     

Thermodynamic characteristics of complexation between Ho<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and ethylenediamine-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>'-disuccinic acid in aqueous solutions at 298.15 K

The thermodynamic characteristics of complexation between ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid (H₄Y; EDDA) and Ho³⁺ ion were determined calorimetrically and potentiometrically at 298.15 K and ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 (KNO₃). The logK, Δ_rG, Δ_rH, and Δ_rS values for the formation of HoY^– and HOHY complexes were calculated at the studied and zero ionic strength values. The changes in thermodynamic parameters of the reactions are discussed.     

Synthesis of cyclic sulfonamides by reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-sulfinyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline with norbornenes

N-Sulfinyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline reacted with bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and bicyclo[2.2.1]-hepta-2,5-diene to give the corresponding Diels?Alder adducts which were oxidized to 8-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,4a,6,10b-hexahydro-5λ⁶-1,4-methanodibenzo[c,e][1,2]thiazine-5,5(1H)-diones. The cycloaddition occurred predominantly with participation of the S=N–C¹=C⁶ fragment of N-sulfinyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline and exclusively at the endo side of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes.
