Spheriodal multipolar expansions for intermolecular energy in crystal theory .: II. Lattice energy of the orthorhombic structure of actylene crystal

The spheroidal formalism for the interaction energy between two non-overlapping ellipsoidal charge distributions is applied to the determination of the lattice energy of the orthorhombic structure of the acetylene crystal. The molecules are assimilated to quadrupolar prolate ellipsoids and the pair potential is assumed to be a sum of two terms: a Kihara corepotential extended to prolate ellipsoids and the spheroidal quadrupolar interaction. The value so obtained for the lattice energy is ?25.01 kJ mole^? while an evaluation of the corresponding observed value is ?23.81 kJmole^?.     

ON THE REARRANGEMENT OF N-ARYL SULFIMIDES

Abstract

N-Aryl-S,S-dialkylsulfimides, 1, with R¹ = alkyl other than CH₃, have been rearranged by heating in ethanol yielding o-alkylthiomethyl-anilines, 2, as main products. Isomeric o-methylthioalkyl-anilines, 14, are formed in minor amounts only. Reactions of sulfimides, 1, with R¹ = CH₃, with certain alkylating or acylating agents yielded o-methylthiomethylated, N-alkylated or -acylated products 9. Mechanistic considerations are discussed. The rearrangement of sulfimides 1 has been assumed to occur via [2,3]-sigmatropic reactions of intermediate azasulfonium ylids 3. Attempts to resolve (+)-camphor-10-sulfonates of N-aryl sulfimides failed, but optically active N-aryl sulfimides could be obtained by reaction of anilines with optically active sulfoxides and P₄O₁₀. Optically active 2,6-disubstituted sulfimides, 1, could be rearranged in ethanolic KOH to yield optically active cyclohexadienimines 12, indicating a transfer of asymmetry from sulfur to carbon and supporting the assumption of a sigmatropic rearrangement.

A FACILE SYNTHESIS OF DIETHYL 1- ISOTHIOCYANO)ALKYLPHOSPHONATES[1]

Abstract

Novel, diethyl 1-(isothiocyano)alkylphosphonates 3 have been efficiently synthesized via a one-pot reaction of diethyl 1-azidoalkylphosphonates 1 with triphenylphosphine, followed by in situ transformation of thus formed phosphazenes 2 with carbon disulfide. Application of the title compounds in the synthesis of diethyl (N-phenylthioureido)- and (benzothiazol-2-ylamino)methylphosphonates was also described.     

Pyridazine Derivatives and Related Compounds,Part 17: 1 The Synthesis of Some 3-Substituted Pyridazino[3′, 4′:3, 4]pyrazolo[5, 1-c]-1,2,4-triazines and Their Antimicrobial Activity

The reaction of the hydrazide of pyridazino[3′, 4′:3, 4]pyrazolo[5, 1-c]-1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylic acid 3 with carbon disulfide in the presence of potassium hydroxide gave the 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione derivative 4. The methylation of this product in an alkaline medium proceeds at the sulfur atom. The reaction of 3 with KOH and carbon disulfide followed by addition of hydrazine hydrate afforded the 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivative 6. Compound 3, when heated either with ammonium thiocyanate or with potassium thiocyanate, afforded the same product 7, which underwent cyclodehydration in the presence of acetyl chloride, which led to the 2-acetylamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative 8. In a basic medium, the product was 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivative 9. The reaction of 3 with phenyl isothiocyanate provided thiosemicarbazide derivative 10, which underwent cyclodehydration in a basic medium and gave the 1,2,4-triazole derivative 11. The reaction of 3 with formic acid yielded the 3-carboxyl-2′-(formyl)hydrazine derivative 12. The refluxing of the latter with phosphorus pentasulfide in xylene yielded compound 14 (65%). The reaction of compound 12 with phosphorus pentoxide afforded compound 15. Some representative examples were screened for antimicrobial activity.     

A One-Pot Synthesis of Thiophenes and Their Annulated Derivatives With Potential Pharmaceutical Interest

The latter products were used to synthesize annulated products with potential pharmaceutical interest.     

Dielectric Parameters and Hydrogen Bond Interaction Study of Binary Alcohol Mixtures

The formation of hydrogen bonds between different types of molecules in binary alcohol mixtures (methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol) have been investigated (each system at 21 mixture concentrations) by an analysis of their dielectric parameters. The static dielectric constant ε _o, limiting high-frequency dielectric constant ε _∞, excess dielectric parameters ε _o^E and ε _∞^E, effective Kirkwood correlation factor g ^eff, and corrective Kirkwood correlation factor g _f of the binary alcohol mixtures were determined at 25 °C in order to explore hydrogen-bond interactions and the strength of molecular connectivities between unlike alcohol molecules and their dipole alignment. These results confirm that the different alcohol mixtures form hydrogen-bonded structures, which are strongly influenced by the numbers of hydroxyl groups and carbon atoms of the alcohol molecules and vary with the concentrations of the mixtures.     

Candidate Trail Attractants of Reticultermes lucifugus: Stereoselective Syntheses of (3Z, 6E,BE)-(3Z, 6E, 8Z)-and (3Z, 6Z, 8Z)-3,6,8 -Dodecatrien-1-OL1

Stereoselective syntheses on a gram scale of (3Z,6E,8E)-, (3Z,6E,8Z)-and (3Z,6Z,8Z)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, are described. A key step of the synthesis of 8 consisted of a copper-mediated coupling reaction between 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-1-butynylmagnesium bromide (15) and the mesyl ester of (2E,4E)-2,4-octadien-1-ol (14). A similar copper-mediated reaction between 15 and the mesyl ester of (E)-2-octen-4-yn-1-ol (19) was used to construct the C-12 carbon skeleton of 9. On the other hand, the synthesis of 10 was based on a palladium-promoted reaction between (Z)-1-bromo-1-pentene (23) and the organozinc bromide derived from 3,6-heptadiyn-1-yl acetate (27).

Abstract

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones derivatives from 2-aminobenzonitriles with carbon dioxide using catalytic amount of cesium carbonate has been developed. 6,7-Dimethoxyquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, which is one of the key intermediate for the synthesis of several drugs (Prazosin, Bunazosin and Doxazosin) was synthesized. The effect of different reaction parameters like influences of bases, solvent, temperature, CO₂ pressure and reaction time were investigated for the title reaction.     

Molecular librations in the α and γ phases of solid nitrogen based on the core potential

Molecular librations at k = 0 in the α and γ phases of solid nitrogen have been studied in terms of the Kihara model consisting of the spindle-shaped core-core potential plus the electrostatic quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. The potential parameters specifying the core interaction were determined from the second virial coefficient. In both α and γ phases, the molecular interaction was taken into account for the nearest 12 molecules only. Satisfactory agreement of the calculated libration frequencies with experimental results was obtained. The ratio of the molar volumes of the α and γ structures was evaluated in terms of the rigid parallel body of the Kihara core to show the effect of the core shape on the α-γ phase transition.     

Synthesis of C-Glycosyl Isoxazoles and Branched-Chain Enuloses From 2,3-O-Isopropylidene-D-Glyceraldehyde

Abstract

The synthesis of 5-glycosyl isoxazoles with 3-alkyl-, 3-aryl, 3,4-dialkyl, 3-aryl-4-alkyl or 3-alkyl-4-bromo substituents is reported. Deoxyenuloses were obtained from reaction of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde and several phosphorus ylides, which contain a carbonyl group, by a Wittig reaction. C-glycosyl α,β-unsaturated ketones were obtained, with the polyhydroxylate chain lengthened by two or three carbon atoms. In the second phase the ketones were transformed into the corresponding C-glycosyl α,β-unsaturated ketoximes, leading to the C-glycosyl isoxazoles, which were converted into the title compounds via removal of the isopropylidene group of suitably protected carbohydrates. The solubility of the synthetized C-glycosyl isoxazoles were modified by free hydroxyl groups in such a way that their behaviour against certain viruses and their potential antiviral activity could be studied.     

Michael reaction. IV. NaNH2 catalyzed one stage reaction between phenylacetic acid dialkylamides and cinnamic acid methyl ester or dialkylamides. Influence of reaction conditions on the stereochemistry

The NaNH₂ catalyzed one stage reaction between phenylacetic acid dialkylamides and cinnamic acid methyl ester or dialkylamides was studied under various conditions. Conditions were found for easy preparation of each of the both possible diastereomeric derivatives of 2,3-diphenylglutaric acid. It was proved that catalytic amounts of NaNH₂ take part in the reaction. It is assumed that the observederythro/threo equilibrium ratios are determined by an isomerization via two different carbanions (at C₂ and C₄) of the reaction products.Part III:J. Stefanovsky andL. Viteva, Comun. Dept. Chem. Bulg. Acad. Sci.4, 159 (1971).     

Catalytic Oxidative Domino Degradation of Alkyl Phenols Towards 2- and 3-Substituted Muconolactones

The catalytic oxidative domino degradation of phenols was investigated. Hydrogen peroxide (30% aq.) was used as an oxidant and 2,2′-dinitro-4,4′-ditrifluoromethyldiphenyl diselenide 4e as a catalyst. The products were muconic acid 5, and muconolactones muconolactones—5-carboxymethylfuran-2(5H)-ones 7 and 9. Phenols with alkyl groups at 2 or 4 positions of the benzene ring were converted regioselectively to corresponding muconolactones substituted at alkenylene ring carbon atoms. The reaction mechanism is proposed.

The crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction.     

Spheroidal multipolar expansions for intermolecular energy in crystal theory. Lattice energy and cell dimensions of the orthorhombic structure of benzene crystal

The oblate spheroidal formalism for the interaction energy between two non-overlapping ellipsoidal charge distributions is applied to the determination of the lattice energy and cell dimensions of the orthorhombic structure of benzene crystal. The molecules are assimilated to quadrupolar oblate ellipsoids and the pair potential is assumed to be a sum of two terms: a Kihara core-potential extended to oblate ellipsoids and the spheroidal quadrupolar interaction. The value so obtained for the lattice energy is -51.3 kJ mole^-1 at unit cell dimensions of 7.7, 8.1 and 7.4 A, while the observed heat of sublimation corrected for zero-point vibration is -52.3 kJ mole^-1 and the experimental cell dimensions are 7.39, 9.42 and 6.81 A at 138 K.

Abstract

Photoreactive Ag(I) complexes of p-toluenesulfonate ions with the unsymmetrical alkene trans-1-(4-acetoxyphenyl)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethylene 1 is reported.
