Synthesis and structures of isomeric benzobisthiazoles

It is shown that the bases described in a number of papers and patents as 2,6-dimethyl-, 2,6-diamino-, and 2,6-dimercaptobenzo[1,2-d:4,3-d']bisthiazoles (isomers of linear structure) are actually 2,7-dimethyl-, 2,7-diamino-, and 2,7-dimercaptobenzo [1,2-d:6,5-d']bisthiazoles (isomers of angular structure). The synthesis of the hitherto unknown 2,6-dimethylbenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d'] bisthiazoles is described.     

Palladium-Catalyzed Allylic Coupling of 1,2,3-Triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines (8-Azapurines)

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of the sodium salt of 7-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine (8-azaadenine, 1) with allylic phosphates or carbonates resulted in mixtures of 2- and 3-substituted 1,2,3-triazolopyrimidines, which were separated by chromatography. 1-Substituted triazolopyrimidines were not isolated from these reactions. Regioselectivity (and stereoselectivity) was also observed for substitution of the allylic moiety when more than one isomer is possible from the reaction. The use of 5-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-ones (8-azaguanine, 2), instead of 8-azaadenine, also resulted in mixtures. Alternate syntheses of the 3-allyl-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines confirmed the structures of these compounds.

The phototransposition in acetonitrile and the photoaddition of 2,2, 2-trifluoroethanol to the six isomers of dimethylbenzonitrile

The six dimethylbenzonitriles can be divided into two independent triads in their photochemical reactivity. The first triad is comprised of the 2,3-dimethyl, 3,4-dimethyl, and 2,6-dimethyl isomers (11-2,3, 11-3,4, and 11-2,6, respectively); the second triad is comprised of the 2,4-dimethyl, 2,5-dimethyl, and 3,5-dimethyl isomers (11-2,4, 11-2,5, and 11-3,5, respectively). In acetonitrile, phototransposition converts the members of one triad to other members of the same triad, although only 11-3,4 was reactive enough to have significant conversion approaching a steady-state composition. Irradiation in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) resulted in the formation of addition products, 6-cyano-X,Y-dimethylbicyclo[3.1. 0]hex-3-en-2-yl 2,2,2,-trifluoroethyl ethers, but in significant yield only from 11-3,4 of the first triad and 11-2,4 of the second triad. The 11-3,4 isomer gave seven major regio- and stereoisomers; the 11-2,4 isomer gave three different regio- and stereoisomers. These addition products were all explained by formation of bicyclo[3. 1.0]hex-3-en-1-yl cations resulting from protonation by TFE at C6 followed by nucleophilic trapping by TFE. From these and previous results on aromatic nitriles, a consistent mechanistic picture is obtained where the critical carbon in determining the products of the phototransposition and photoaddition reactions is the cyano substituted one.     

Mechanism of the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkylation of 7-octene-2,4-dione

Cyclization of (E)-7,8-dideuterio-7-octene-2,4-dione [(E)-1-7,8-d(2)] catalyzed by PdCl(2)(CH(3)CN)(2) (2) formed cis-2-acyl-3,4-dideuteriocyclohexanone (cis-3-3,4-d(2)) in 64% yield as the exclusive isotopomer. This experiment, in conjunction with additional deuterium labeling experiments, was in accord with a mechanism for the conversion of 1 to 3 catalyzed by 2 involving attack of the enol carbon atom on a palladium-complexed olefin followed by palladium migration and protonolysis from a palladium enolate complex.     

On the synthesis of siloxanes. XXIV. Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2-functional 1,3-dioxa-2-4,7-trisilacylcloheptanes and 1,3-dioxa-2,4,8-trisilacyclooctanes

2-Hydrogen-1,3-dioxa-2,4,7-trisilacycloheptanes and 2-hydrogen-1,3-dioxa-2,4,8-trisiacyclooctanes, each as a mixture of three configurational isomers, were synthesized and halogenated with chlorine and bromine in the presence of pyridine. The stereochemical course of the halogenation reactions was studied by gas chromatography. 2-Chloro-2,4,7-trimethyl-4,7-bis(trimethyl-siloxy)-1,3-dioxa-2,4,7-trisiacycloheptanes and 2-chloro-2,4,7-trimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-2,4,7-trisilacycloheptanes reacted with alcohols in the presence of pyridine, triethylamine, or 2,6-dimethylpyridine. Gas chromatography, and¹H NMR and²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the stereochemistry of these substitution reactions. It has been found that all reactions proceed with retention of configuration and that the differences of the relative reactivities of the configurational isomers were distinctly smaller than those observed for reactions of the configurations isomers of functional cyclotrisiloxanes.     

Competitive kinetic processes in the thermal rearrangement of 1,1-difluoro-2-(dideuteriomethylene)-cyclopropane

The synthesis of 1,1-difluoro-2-(dideuteriomethylene)-cyclopropane is reported along with the kinetics of its competing, reversible, first order rearrangements: (a) the degenerate rearrangement to 1,1-difluoro-3,3-dideuterio-2-methylene-cyclopropane, and (b) its rearrangement to 2,2-dideuterio-1-(difluoromethylene)-cyclopropane. The observed experimental ratio of these two rate constants, 2.3, is consistent with Borden's theoretically predicted ratio of 3.     

One-Pot Three-Component Condensations of 2,6-Diaminopyrimidin-4(3H)-one,Aromatic Aldehydes,and Naphthols. Synthesis of Isomeric Benzochromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry - One-pot three-component reactions of 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4-(3H)-one with aromatic aldehydes and 1- or 2-naphthol afforded benzo[7,8]chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidine...     

Synthesis of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles and -6-carboxylic acid esters

Dieckmann ring closure reactions of 4-[(2-cyanoethyl)substituted amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylates (Ha-f) afforded several 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-phenylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6- carbonitriles (IIIa-f). The open-chain intermediates (IIa-f) were prepared by dechloroamination of 5-carbethoxy-4-chloro-2-phenylpyrimidine (1a) with several 3-substituted amino- propionitriles. Alkylation of the sodium salt of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-methyl-5-oxo-2-phenyl-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6- carbonitrile (IIIa) with methyl iodide in DMF resulted in methylation at C-6 to afford IV. Tosylation of IIIa in pyridine gave the corresponding tosyl ester (V) of the enolic form. Oxidative dehydrogenation at the 6,7-position resulted when IIIa reacted with thionyl chloride, affording 5,8-dihydro-8-methyl-5-oxo-2-phenylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6- carbonitrile (VII). Dechloroamination of la or 5-carbethoxy-4-chloro-2-methylthiopyrimidine (Ib) with ethyl 3-ethylaminopropionate followed by Dieckmann cyclization of the resulting open-chain intermediates gave the corresponding ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates IX'a and IX'b, respectively. These exist predominately in the enol form and undergo alkylation and oxidation reactions similar to IIIa.     

Synthesis and structure of 4-O,6-O-glycosylidene glycosides

Interglycosidic spiro ortho esters (9-20) were efficiently prepared from methyl 2,6-di-O-benzylgluco- or galactopyranoside and various sugar lactones in the presence of methoxytrimethylsilane and a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl triflate. All of the prepared sugar ortho esters possess perhydrospiro[2H-pyran-2,2'-pyrano[3,2-d][1,3]dioxin] ring systems commonly in their molecules and, remarkably, were afforded as single isomers. The configurations of the spiro centers in their molecules were determined or estimated by X-ray single crystallographic analysis and molecular modeling studies. By comparing the conformations of prepared ortho esters, we revealed that the difference in the stability between two possible isomers was principally caused from that between the spiro ring systems in their molecules in each case.     

Preparation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene with recycled process of isomers

2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene（2,6-DIPN）,as the precursor of important monomer 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid,was prepared by hydroisopropylation of refined naphthalene with propene over shape-selective catalyst.Naphthalene conversion of 92% and 2,6-DIPN selectivity of 64% were obtained.Static melt crystallization was applied to separate and purify 2,6-DIPN from its isomers,resulted in a product purity of≥99%.The other isomers were converted into monoisopropylnaphthalene,which also reacted with propene to form 2,6-DIPN.A recycled process including hydroisopropylation,separation and transalkylation was established,the yield of 2,6-DIPN based on naphthalene could be doubled by one cycle operation.     

Phototransposition reactions of arylboronate esters in acetonitrile and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol

The phototransposition (para, meta, ortho) reactions of the arylboronate esters 4-, 3-, and 2-(4',4',5',5'-tetramethyl-1',3',2'-dioxaborolanyl)toluenes (1, 2, and 3, respectively) in both acetonitrile and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) using 254 nm irradiation have been examined. The irradiations resulted in steady-state compositions of para (5%), meta (19%), and ortho (76%) isomers in acetonitrile starting from the ortho isomer and para (12%), meta (54%), and ortho (35%) isomers in TFE starting from the para isomer. Analysis of the (13)C NMR spectrum of the product mixture obtained from the photochemistry of the para isomer selectively deuterated at C3 and C5 (1d(2)()) revealed that the boron-substituted carbon is the active one in the phototransposition reactions in both acetonitrile and TFE. Similar results were observed for irradiations of 1 in cyclohexane. Fluorescence spectra, singlet-state lifetimes, and Stern-Volmer quenching of fluorescence with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene indicated that the excited singlet states of these three isomers were spectroscopic minima and that the excited singlet state was the reactive one for 3 in acetonitrile.     

Synthesis of diazeniumdiolates from the reactions of nitric oxide with enolates

[reaction: see text] Reactions of nitric oxide with enolates derived from aliphatic methyl ketones containing alpha-methylene or alpha-methine groups and with enolates derived from alpha,alpha'-dimethylene or alpha,alpha'-dimethine ketones yield mono- or bis(diazeniumdiolate) products. Diazeniumdiolation occurs in the following order: alpha-methine > alpha-methylene > alpha-methyl. The amount of the base used alters the extent of diazeniumdiolation and the course of the reaction. Mono- and bis(diazeniumdiolate)-substituted methyl ketones are cleaved in the presence of excess base before and after the subsequent diazeniumdiolation of the alpha-methyl group. Similar to the trihalogenated methyl groups in the base-assisted halogenation reactions of methyl ketones, the bis(diazeniumdiolate)-substituted alpha-methylene and alpha-methyl groups act as leaving groups in the presence of excess base. The reaction of nitric oxide with a (approximately 20:80, cis/trans) mixture of 2,6-cyclohexananone yields the cis and trans isomers of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone-2,6-bis(diazeniumdiolate) in 12.9% and 57.6% yield. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data determined for potassium cis-2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone-2,6-bis(diazeniumdiolate), cis-14b, reveal that the N(2)O(2-) substituent is planar with considerable delocalization of a double bond over the anionic four-atom group. Except for one of the diazeniumdiolate products, namely, potassium propanoate 2,2-bis(diazeniumdiolate), 8b, all are stable in neutral and basic aqueous media. Compound 8b slowly decomposes in neutral aqueous solution releasing nitrous oxide and nitric oxide gases but is stable in basic aqueous media. Differential scanning calorimetry data measured for the diazeniumdiolate products indicate that they decompose exothermally with most of them undergoing explosive decomposition at moderately high temperatures (181-274 degrees C).     

Evaluation of pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives as peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reagents using a flow injection system

Eighteen kinds of pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidines together with several commercially available fluorescent compounds such as perylene, Rhodamine B, etc., were evaluated as the reagents for a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (CL) detection system by using a flow injection method. The peroxyoxalate CL reaction employed consists of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, hydrogen peroxide, triethylamine, and a fluorophore. Under the conditions used, 2,6-bis[di-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-4,8- dipiperidinopyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine (Dipyridamole) and 2,4,6,8-tetrathiomorpholinopyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine (1i) gave very intense chemiluminescence intensities which were larger than those of any other commercially available fluorescent compounds tested (e.g., 10 times larger than that of perylene).     

Reactivity of "Eu(OiPr)2" with phenols: formation of linear Eu3, square pyramidal Eu5, cubic Eu8, and capped cubic Eu9 polymetallic europium complexes

The direct reaction of europium with 2-propanol and phenols has been investigated under a variety of conditions. The reaction of europium metal with 2,6-dimethylphenol and 2,6-diisopropylphenol in 2-propanol at reflux revealed that polymetallic europium complexes could be generated by this method. Hx[Eu8O6(OC6H3Me2-2,6)12(OiPr)8], 1, and H5[Eu5O5(OC6H3iPr2-2,6)6(NCCH3)8], 2, were isolated by recrystallization in the presence of hexanes and acetonitrile, respectively, and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 has a cubic arrangement of europium ions with face-bridging mu 4-O donor atoms, edge-bridging mu-O(phenoxide/phenol) ligands, and terminal O(isopropoxide/2-propanol) ligands. Complex 2 is mixed valent and has a square pyramidal europium core with four Eu(II) ions at the basal positions and one Eu(III) ion at the apex. Since these reactions gave complicated mixtures of products from which 1 and 2 could only be obtained in low yields, direct reactions under less forcing reaction conditions were investigated. Europium reacts slowly at room temperature to form arene-soluble divalent [Eu(OiPr)2(THF)x]n, 3. Complex 3 reacts with 2,6-dimethylphenol to form the arene-insoluble complex (H[Eu(OC6H3Me2)2(OiPr)])n, 4. Recrystallization of 4 in the presence of THF results in the crystallographically characterizable divalent trimetallic complex [Eu(OC6H3Me2-2,6)2(THF)2]3, 5, which has an unusual linear metal geometry. In the presence of HOiPr at ambient conditions in the glovebox, crystals of 5 slowly convert to the mixed valent H10[Eu8O8(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(OiPr)2(THF)6], 6, which was found to have a cubic arrangement of europium atoms similar to 1 by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4, upon heating under vacuum, followed by reaction with THF, forms the arene-soluble divalent complex H18([Eu9O8(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(THF)7][Eu9O9(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(THF)6]), 7, which contains two types of capped cubic arrangements of europium ions in the solid state.     

Structures, stabilities, and equilibrium contents of C2-fragmentated C70 clusters

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the C₂-fragmentation of C₇₀ destroys 4 of 37 original rings and generates 3 new rings, leading to 8 possible isomers. Each of those isomers contains a larger ring (7- or 8-member ring) with or without 4-member ring(s) besides 5- and 6-member rings. The most stable isomer consists of thirteen 5-member, twenty-two 6-member, and a 7-member rings without 4- and 8-member rings. The C₂-fragmentation energies (10.7–13.3 eV) of C₇₀ depend on resulted isomer-structures. Furthermore, the equilibrium fraction of the most stable isomer in the total isomers is 99.1%, 94.8%, and 94.0% at temperatures of 900, 1400, and 2000 K, respectively.     

Molecular composite fibers from rigid rod polymers and thermoset resin matrixes

Fibers consisting of a rigid rod polymer and thermoset resin matrices were prepared. Poly(benzo-[1,2-d : 5,4-d′]bisoxazole-2,6-diyl)-1,4-phenylene} (PBO) in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) was blended with isophthaloyl bis-4-benzocyclobutene (1) or 2,6-bis-4-benzocyclobutene benzo[1,2-d: 5,4-d′]bisoxazole (2), and fibers were spun from these dopes. As-spun fibers that did not show phase segregation between the two components as examined with an optical microscope, were soluble in methanesulfonic acid (MSA). After heat treat-ment, the fibers swelled but did not dissolve in MSA. A fiber cross section of heat-treated PBO-1 fiber showed well-dispersed benzocyclobutene polymer domains of 200–500 Å by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Films cast from MSA solutions of PBO and 2 were homogeneous, and TEM of heat-treated fiber showed only one phase. A molecular composite fiber was made. Some of these fibers showed 20–30% improvement in compressive strength over unmodified PBO fiber. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

New pyridine carboxamide ligands and their complexation to copper(II). X-Ray crystal structures of mono-, di, tri- and tetranuclear copper complexes

Seven new pyridine dicarboxamide ligands H2L(1-7) have been synthesised from condensation reactions involving pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H2dipic), pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl dichloride or 2,6-diaminopyridine with heterocyclic amine or carboxylic acid precursors. Crystallographic analyses of N,N'-bis(2-pyridyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide monohydrate (H2L8 x H2O), N,N'-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)methyl]pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide and N,N'-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide monohydrate revealed extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. 2,6-Bis(pyrazine-2-carboxamido)pyridine (H2L6) and 2,6-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)pyridine (H2L7) reacted with copper(II) acetate monohydrate to give tricopper(II) complexes [Cu3(L)2(mu2-OAc)2]. X-Ray crystallography confirmed deprotonation of the amidic nitrogen atoms and that the (L6,7)2- ligands and acetate anions hold three copper(II) ions in approximately linear fashion. H2L8. Reacted with copper(II) tetrakis(pyridine) perchlorate to give [Cu(L8)(OH2)]2 x 2H2O, in which (L8)2- was tridentate through the nitrogen atoms of the central pyridine ring and the deprotonated carboxamide groups at one copper centre, with one of the terminal pyridyl rings coordinating to the other copper atom in the dimer. The corresponding reaction using H2L7 gave [Cu3(L7)2(py)2][ClO4]2, which transformed during an attempted recrystallisation from ethanol under aerobic conditions to a tetracopper(II) complex [Cu4(L7)2(L7-O)2].     

Synthesis and characterization of 3-cyano- and 3-nitroformazans, nitrogen-rich analogues of beta-diketimine ligands

The synthesis and characterization of several formazans containing strong electron-withdrawing substituents (cyano and nitro) in the 3 position of the ligand backbone are described. Reactions of aryldiazonium cations with the conjugated bases of either cyanoacetic acid or nitromethane lead to 1,5-diaryl-3-cyano- or 3-nitroformazans, respectively. When these reactions are carried out in aqueous conditions, the range of aromatic groups is limited by the stability of the diazonium salt. However, 3-nitroformazans containing bulky substituents on the nitrogen atoms (2,6-dimethylphenyl, 2,4,6-trimetyhlphenyl, 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, and 3,5-ditert-butylphenyl) could be made by performing the reactions under nonaqueous and anhydrous conditions. NMR and electronic spectroscopic studies indicate that the 3-nitroformazans exist exclusively as closed ( trans-syn, s-cis) isomers whereas the 3-cyanoformazans exist as mixtures of isomers which are substrate-dependent. The crystal structures of five of the formazans are presented: two 3-nitroformazans, both of which are closed, and three 3-cyanoformazans, two of which are closed and one of which adopts an open ( trans-syn, s-trans) structure. Solid state (diffuse reflectance) spectroscopy has been employed to ascertain the isomeric preferences of the other formazans which could not be crystallographically characterized.     

7-Ethyl-2,3,5,6,8-pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (echinochrome A): a DFT study of the antioxidant mechanism

Quantum chemical calculations and the conformational analysis of dianions, radical dianions, disodium salts, and radicals of disodium salts of 7-ethyl-2,3,5,6,8-pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (echinochrome A) were carried out at the (U)B3LYP/6-31G(d) and (U)B3LYP/6-311G(d) levels of theory. The heats of reactions of the hydroperoxyl radical (HOO^·) with the isomers of dianions and disodium salts of echinochrome A with the lowest Gibbs free energies were estimated. All reactions of these isomers of dianions and disodium salts of echinochrome A with HOO^· in the gas phase are exothermic. The isomer of the dianion of echinochrome A with the lowest Gibbs free energy, which is formed by the heterolysis of the 2β- and 6β-OH groups, is the more effective antioxidant than the isomer of the 2,6-disodium salt with the lowest Gibbs free energy.
