Enhanced reactivity of secondary hydroxyl groups in the O-alkylation of carbohydrate-related primary-secondaryvic-glycols. Regioselective 2-O-benzylation of 1,3:2,4-di-O-ethylidene-D-glucitol

Partial O-alkylation of 1,3:2,4-di-O-ethylidene-D-glucitol (1a), 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl--D-glucofuranose (1b), andR-(+)-1-O-benzylglycerol (1c) with benzyl chloride in a KOH/DMSO system results in products of monoalkylation at the secondary (4a–c) and at the primary hydroxyl (2a–c) in ratios of over 955 (a), 21 (b), and 11 (c), whereas (±)propane-1,2-diol (1d) gives only the product of 1-O-benzylation (2d). A qualitatively similar result is observed upon O-alkylation of diols (1a–e) with 2-methoxyethanol tosylate.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Structure, Magnetism and Spin Coupling Mechanism of Cyano-Bridged LnIII–FeIII Binuclear Metal Complexes

A series of binuclear metal complexes [Ln(L)₄(H₂O)₃Fe(CN)₆]·nH₂O (Ce(1), Pr(2), Nd(3), Sm(4), Eu(5), Gd(6), Tb(7), Dy(8), Er(9), L=2-pyrrolidinone) were prepared and the X-ray crystal structures of complexes 4, 6, and 8 were determined. All the compounds consist of an Ln–CN–Fe unit, in which an octahedral coordinated Fe^III is bridged to an Ln^III ion located in square antiprism environment by a cyano group. The magnetic properties of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 show an overall antiferromagnetic behavior. The fitting to the experimental magnetic susceptibilities of complex 6 gave g=1.99, J=0.735 cm^–1, zJ=–0.080 cm^–1 on the basis of a binuclear spin system (S _Gd=7/2, S _Fe=1/2), revealing a ferromagnetic intra-molecular Gd–Fe interaction and an antiferromagnetic inter-molecular interaction. Results on the quantum chemical density functional theory (DFT) calculation for 6 showed that the calculated magnetic coupling constant is 8.1 cm^–1, supporting the occurrence of weak ferromagnetic intra-molecular interaction in 6. The spin density maps for 6 in the high spin ground state and broken symmetry state were obtained, and the spin–spin coupling mechanism is discussed.     

Voltammetry of carbocations stabilized by coordination with tetrahedral molybdenum- and tungsten-carbon clusters. [Cp2M2(CO)4-μ-η2:η3-(HCCCR1R2)]+BF4 −(M = Mo,W; R1, R2 = H,Me, and Pri) complexes

The electrochemical reduction of the carbocationic complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄--₂:₃(HCCCR¹R²)]+BF₄ ^–, where M/R¹, R² = Mo/H, H (¹⁺), Mo/H, Me (2 ⁺), Mo/Me, Me (3⁺), Mo/H, Prⁱ (4⁺), has been studied by polarography and cyclic voltammetry on a Hg-electrode in THF solution. It has been suggested that carbocationic center-directed reversible two-electron reduction of1 ⁺–4 ⁺ takes place according to an ECE-mechanism and results in the carbanionic complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄--²:³-(HCCCR¹R²)] (1 ^––4 ^–) as final productsvia carbon-centered radicals as intermediates. Anions1 ^–-4 ^– are capable of irreversible two-electron reduction at more negative potentials or protonation resulting in their transformation into the corresponding acetylene complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄(HCCCHR¹R²)], which are also capable of irreversible two-electron reduction. Anions1 ^––4 ^– and their protonated forms are reduced with cleavage of the Mo-Mo bond. The reduction pathways of complexes1 ⁺,2 ⁺, and4 ⁺ with C-H bonds at the carbon atom of the carbocationic center are different on a Pt-electrode. It is suggested that this difference is due to the abstraction of a H-atom from the intermediate radical species by platinum.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Spin exchange between transition metal complexes and nitroxyl radicals in nonaqueous media

New complexes of diaza- and tetraaza-containing crown ethers, viz., 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 (1), 1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadecane (2), 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (3), and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane 1,4,8,11-tetrachloride tetraacetic acid tetrahydrate (4), with the divalent copper and nickel ions and the Cl^–, Br^–, ClO₄ ^–, NO₃ ^–, and AcO^– counterions were synthesized. The exchange interactions of these compounds and paramagnetic copper and nickel salts with the TEMPO radical in MeOH—CHCl₃ binary mixtures of different compositions were studied. The plots of the linewidths of the hyperfine coupling components of TEMPO vs. concentration of the ions and temperature show that the frequency of diffusion collisions is the rate-limiting step for spin exchange (strong exchange regime). A strong dependence of the exchange rate constant (k _ex) on the crown ether and counterion structure was found. The isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (a _Cu) and g factors (g _i ) were measured for the Cu^II complexes with the crown ethers. In the case of the crown ether complexes 1—3 with CuCl₂, the a _Cu constant decreases linearly with an increase in g _i = g _i – 2.0023 in the series 3 < 2 < 1, whereas k _ex increases linearly in the same series with a decrease in the contact HFC on the Cu^II nucleus (K) and a decrease in covalence of bonding. For the complexes of 2 with Cu^II and different axial ligands (counterions), k _ex increases in the series Cl^– < ClO₄ ^– AcO^– Br^–; < NO₃ ^–. In the case of the complexes of 2 with NiCl₂, k _ex increases in the series 1 < 4 < 3 2. For the Cu^II and Ni^II salts with the Cl^–, ClO₄ ^–, and NO₃ ^– anions, the k _ex values are almost independent of the anion nature. The correlation of the k _ex values with the electron-spin parameters of the complexes is discussed.     

New class of neutral paramagnetic binuclear sulfur-containing iron nitrosyl complexes

Neutral paramagnetic binuclear iron nitrosyl complexes, whose structures and properties differ from those of the known Roussin"s red salt esters, were synthesized for the first time. The iron nitrosyl complexes [Fe₂(₂-SR)₂(NO)₄]·nH₂O (¹-S, ¹-N; n = 1 or 2; R is 5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl (1), 1,2,4-triazol-3-yl (2), 1-methyltetrazol-5-yl (3), or benzothiazol-2-yl (4)) were prepared by the exchange reactions of Na₂Fe₂(S₂O₃)₂(NO)₄ with heterocyclic thiols. According to the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, complex 1 has a centrosymmetrical dimeric structure in which the iron atoms are linked through the -N—C—S structural fragment. Each Fe atom is bound to the N atom of one ligand and the S atom of another ligand. The isomer shifts of complexes 1—4 have virtually equal values (_Fe = 0.291(1)—0.304(1) mm s^–1 at T = 85 K), which are twice as large as _Fe for Roussin"s red salt esters. The iron atoms in complexes 1—4 have the low-spin configuration d⁷ (Fe⁺). The ESR spectra of polycrystalline powders of complexes 1—4 consist of a single Lorentzian line with g = 2.032 and a width of 6—10 mT. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of complex 1 in the temperature range of 80—300 K is adequately described by the Curie—Weiss law with 8 K; the effective magnetic moment per iron atom is 1.85 B.     

Cyanoacetaldehyde — New synthetic applications of an old compound syntheses with nitriles,XCI

Summary Various reactions of cyanoacetaldehyde (1), freshly prepared by ozonization of (E)-1,4-dicyano-2-butene or allylcyanide, are described. Thus, conversion of1 with anilines gave -phenylaminoacrylonitriles2a–e. Reaction of1 with hydrazines led to the corresponding hydrazones3a–e, which could be cyclized under alkaline conditions to 5-aminopyrazoles4a–d. An aldol-type condensation product5a could be obtained by reaction of1 with sodiumphenoxide. Treatment of1 with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal led to the formation of (E)-3-dimethylamino-2-formylpropenenitrile (6), a very useful synthon in synthetic chemistry. For the determination of the structure of6 the method of steady state differential NOEs was used. Reaction of6 with hydrazines gave 1-substituted-4-cyanopyrazoles7a–k.

Clathrate formation and phase equilibria in the pyridine-cadmium nitrate system

Preparative, thermal (DTA, TGA), solubility, strain and spectral (Raman) techniques were used to study clathrate and complex formation in the pyridine (Py)-cadmium nitrate system. Three compounds have been isolated and studied: the clathrate compound [CdPy₄(NO₃)₂] · 2Py (I), the complex [CdPy₃(NO₃)₂] (II) and a compound of composition Cd(NO₃)₂·7/4Py (III), of unknown nature. The phase diagram of the system has been determined for the concentration and temperature range 0–66 mass-% Cd(NO₃)₂ and –100 to +200 °C, respectively. ClathrateI undergoes polymorphous conversion at –51.8(4) °C and melts incongruently at 106.0(5) °C, forming complexII. CompoundsII andIII melt congruently at 165.5(4) and 191(1) °C, respectively. The complexes [CdPy₄(NO₃)₂] (the host phase) and [CdPy₂(NO₃)₂] are not observed in the system. The nature and thermodynamic parameters of the dissociation of clathrate I have been determined. For the process 1/13[CdPy₄)NO₃)₂] · 2Py_solid = 1/3[CdPy₃(NO₃)₂]_solid + Py_gas in the range 290–360K H ^o = 54.9(3) kj/mole, S ₂₉₈ ^o = 142(1) J/(mole K), G ₂₉₈ ^o = 12.5(5) kJ/mole.
