A novel synthesis of α-hydroxy- and α,α′-dihydroxyketone from α-iodo and α,α′-diiodo ketone using photoirradiation

A novel reaction of α-iodo ketone (α-iodocycloalkanone, α-iodo-β-alkoxy ester, and α-iodoacyclicketone) with irradiation under a high-pressure mercury lamp gave the corresponding α-hydroxyketone in good yields. In the case of α,α′-diiodo ketone, α,α′-dihydroxyketone which little has been reported until now was obtained. This reaction affords a new, clean and convenient synthetic method for α-hydroxy- and α,α′-dihydroxyketone.

Study of the N2 bΠu state via 1 + 1 multiphoton ionization

Medium-resolution spectra of the N₂ b¹Π_u-X¹Σ_g⁺ band system were recorded by 1 + 1 multiphoton ionization. In the spectra we found different linewidths for transitions to different vibrational levels in the b ¹Π_u state: Δν₀ = 0.50 ± 0.05 cm⁻¹, Δν₁ = 0.28 ± 0.02 cm⁻¹, Δν₂ = 0.65 ± 0.06 cm⁻¹, Δν₃ = 3.2 ± 0.5 cm⁻¹, Δν₄ = 0.60 ± 0.07 cm⁻¹, and Δν₅ = 0.28 ± 0.02 cm⁻¹. From these linewidths, predissociation lifetimes τ_ν were obtained: τ₀ = 16 ± 3 ps, τ₁ > 150 ps, τ₂ = 10 ± 2 ps, τ₃ = 1.6 ± 0.3 ps, τ₄ = 9 ± 2 ps, and τ₅ > 150 ps. Band origins and rotational constants for the b ¹Π_uν = 0 and 1 levels were determined for the ¹⁴N₂ and ¹⁴N¹⁵N molecules.

The cyclic sulfones1,2, and3 are lithiated in benzene with n-butyllithium. Lithiation is demonstrated to lead to α-mono, α,α′-di and/or α,α-di and α,α,α′ trimetallation. The lithiated sulfones are chlorinated with hexachloroethane (HCE). Some mechanistic aspects of the reaction of the lithiosulfones with vicinal dihalides are discussed.

Synthese und Struktur hochfunktionalisierter 2, 3‐Dihydro‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole

Synthesis and Structure of Highly Functionalized 2, 3‐Dihydro‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaboroles A series of differently substituted 2, 3‐dihydro‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaboroles has been prepared by various methods. 1, 3‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐trimethylsilylmethyl‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole ( 7 ), 2‐isobutyl‐1, 3‐bis(1‐cyclohexylethyl)‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole ( 8 ), 1, 3‐bis‐(1‐cyclohexylethyl)‐2‐trimethylsilylmethyl‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole ( 9 ) 1, 3‐bis(1‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐propyl)‐2‐trimethylsilylmethyl‐1H‐1, 3, 2diazaborole ( 10 ) and 2‐bromo‐1, 3‐bis(1‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐propyl)‐1H‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole ( 11 ) were formed by reaction of the corresponding 1, 4‐diazabutadienes with the boranes Me₃SiCH₂BBr₂, iBuBBr₂ and BBr₃ followed by reduction of the resulting borolium salts [R¹ = tBu, Me(cHex)CH, [Me(Et)Ph]C; R² = Me₃SiCH₂, iBu, Br] with sodium amalgam. Treatment of 11 and 12 with silver cyanide afforded the 2‐cyano‐1, 3, 2‐diazaboroles 13 and 14 . An alternative route to compound 8 is based on the alkylation of 2‐bromo‐1, 3, 2‐diazaborole 12 with isobutyllithium. Equimolar amounts of 13 and isobutyllithium give rise to the formation of 15 . The new compounds were characterized by ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, ¹¹B‐NMR, IR and mass spectra. The molecular structures of 7 and meso ‐10 were confirmed by x‐ray structural analysis.

Correlation between structures and thermal properties of hydrated thallium(I) diborates; H2O-Tl2B4O7 phase diagram

Two synthetic hydrated thallium (I) diborates have been found in the liquidsolid equilibria of the 100° isotherm of the ternary system H₂O-B₂O₃-Tl₂O; they were characterized via the powder diagrams, but classical chemical analysis does not lead to the correct degree of hydration. Through TG of the powders, a complex process is found with no explanation. Structural resolution and TG of the monocrystals allow a correct explanation of the thermal dehydration: these thallium (I) diborates are two distinct compounds, Tl₂B₄O₇ · 3H₂O and Tl₂B₄O₇ · 1.5H₂O, which have their own process of dehydration; they contain infinite chains of polyanions and their structural formulae are Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O and Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]H₂O; the latter polyanion may be considered as the dimer of the first.The H₂O-Tl₂B₄O₇ phase diagram was established by thermal analysis and solubility experiments, both under pressure; it allows the prediction that another hydrated thallium (I) diborate, Tl₂B₄O₇·H₂O, exists, with possible structural formula Tl₆[B₁₂O₁₈ (OH)₆]. Actually, only monocrystals of Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]·H₂O have been obtained hydrothermally from Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O.

Zusammenfassung Im ternären System H₂O-B₂O₃-Tl₂O liegen bei 100° bei Einstellung des Gleichgewichtes flüssig-fest zwei hydratisierte Thallium (I) -diborate vor; diese wurden durch Pulverdiagramme charakterisiert, die klassische chemische Analyse ergab jedoch nicht den richtigen Hydratationsgrad. Bei TGA von Pulvern verläuft ein komplexer Prozeß, für den keine mögliche Erklärung gegeben werden kann. Strukturaufklärung und TGA mit Einkristallen ermöglichen eine korrekte Erklärung der thermischen Dehydratisierung: die hydratisierten Thallium (I) -diborate sind zwei verschiedene Verbindungen der Zusammensetzung Tl₂B₄O₇· 3H₂O und Tl₂B₄O₇· 1.5H₂O mit unterschiedlichem Dehydratisierungsverlauf, die Polyanionketten enthalten und durch die Strukturformeln Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O bzw. Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄] · H₂O zu beschreiben sind. Das Polyanion der zweiten Verbindung kann als Dimeres des der ersten angesehen werden. Das Phasendiagram H₂O-Tl₂B₄O₇ wurde durch unter Druck ausgeführte thermische Analyse und Löslichkeitsexperimente aufgestellt. Aus diesem Phasendiagramm kann die Existenz eines anderen hydratisierten Thallium (I) -diborats, Tl₂B₄O₇ · H₂O, mit der möglichen Strukturformel Tl₆[B₁₂O₁₈ (OH)₆] vorausgesagt werden. In Wirklichkeit wurden aber nur Einkristalle von Tl₄[B₈O₁₂ (OH)₄]·H₂O durch hydrothermale Behandlung von Tl₂[B₄O₆ (OH)₂] · 2H₂O erhalten.

MRD CI study on the low-lying states of AlP

Large-scale MRD CI calculations assign to AlP the ground state X ³Σ⁻ (9σ²3π²) and a close-lying state 1 ³Π (9σ3π³) (T_e = 0.08 eV). Up to transition energies of 2.0 eV, other states are described by the configurations 9σ3π³ (1¹Π), 8σ²3π⁴ (1 ¹Σ⁺), 9σ²3π² (1 ¹Δ and 2 ¹Σ⁺) and 9σ3π²4π (1 ⁵Π). The 2 ³Π state, located at ≈ 2.30 eV, shows a shallow double minimum. Numerous perturbations are expected to induce predissociation upon 2 ³Π. Multiplets arising from the occupation 8σ²3π³4π are clustered in the 3.25–3.50 eV region. Quintet states with the configuration 8σ9σ3π³4π are bound, with T_e values (in eV) of 3.80 (1 ⁵Σ⁺), 4.44 (1 ⁵Δ) and 4.88 (3 ⁵Σ⁻), respectively. The 9σ → 4s Rydberg members ⁵Σ⁻ and ³Σ⁻ lie in the 4.58–4.72 eV energy region. The first ionization potential (ionization to X⁴Σ⁻ of AlP⁺, 9σ → ∞) is estimated to be 7.65 eV. Ionization to the 1 ²Σ⁻ and 1 ²Π states of AlP⁺ is suggested to occur between 8.0 and 8.8 eV. The dipole moments of X ³Σ⁻, 1 ¹Δ and 2 ¹Σ⁺ are close to 1.0 D, whereas the 1 ¹Σ⁺ state has μ = 3.49 D; 1 ³Π and 1 ¹Π have dipole moments from 2.45 to 2.91 D. All low-lying states show a polarity Al⁺P⁻. Finally, the electronic structure and transition energies of AlP are compared with those of the isoelectronic species BN, AIN, and SiP⁺.     

Monomer-isomerization polymerization. XXI.. Monomer-isomerization copolymerization of 3-methyl-1-butene and 2-pentene with ziegler–natta catalyst

3-Methyl-1-butene (3M1B) was found to undergo monomer-isomerization copolymerization with 2-pentene (2P) in the presence of Ziegler–Natta catalyst to give a copolymer exclusively consisting of 3M1B and 1-pentene (1P) units, the same as that obtained from copolymerization of 3M1B and 1P. The apparent copolymerization parameters were determined. The amount of 3M1B unit incorporated in the copolymers was found to increase in the copolymerization system of 3M1B-2P more than in that of 3M1B-1P. The polymers consisting of nearly complete 3M1B units were produced at a rapid rate through monomer-isomerization copolymerization of 3M1B with 2P in the presence of TiCl₃ ? (C₂H₅)₃Al catalyst.

Coating of Al2O3 on layered Li(Mn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3)O2 using CO2 as green precipitant and their improved electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries

Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ cathode materials were fabricated by a hydroxide precursor method. Al₂O₃ was coated on the surface of the Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ through a simple and effective one-step electrostatic self-assembly method. In the coating process, a NHCO₃-H₂CO₃ buffer was formed spontaneously when CO₂ was introduced into the NaAlO₂ solution. Compared with bare Li(Mn_1/3M_1/3Co_1/3)O₂, the surface-modified samples exhibited better cycling performance, rate capability and rate capability retention. The Al₂O₃-coated Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ electrodes delivered a discharge capacity of about 115 mAh·g^?1 at 2 A·g^?1, but only 84 mAh·g^?1 for the bare one. The capacity retention of the Al₂O₃-coated Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ was 90.7% after 50 cycles, about 30% higher than that of the pristine one.
