Kinetics, products, and stereochemistry of the reaction of chlorine atoms with cis- and trans-2-butene in 10-700 Torr of N2 or N2/O2 diluent at 297 K

The reactions of Cl atoms with cis- and trans-2-butene have been studied using FTIR and GC analyses. The rate constant of the reaction was measured using the relative rate technique. Rate constants for the cis and trans isomers are indistinguishable over the pressure range 10-900 Torr of N2 or air and agree well with previous measurements at 760 Torr. Product yields for the reaction of cis-2-butene with Cl in N2 at 700 Torr are meso-2,3-dichlorobutane (47%), DL-2,3-dichlorobutane (18%), 3-chloro-1-butene (13%), cis-1-chloro-2-butene (13%), trans-1-chloro-2-butene (2%), and trans-2-butene (8%). The yields of these products depend on the total pressure. For trans-2-butene, the product yields are as follows: meso-2,3-dichlorobutane (48%), dl-2,3-dichlorobutane (17%), 3-chloro-1-butene (12%), cis-1-chloro-2-butene (2%), trans-1-chloro-2-butene (16%), and cis-2-butene (2%). The products are formed via addition, addition-elimination from a chemically activated adduct, and abstraction reactions. These reactions form (1) the stabilized 3-chloro-2-butyl radical, (2) the chemically activated 3-chloro-2-butyl radical, and (3) the methylallyl radical. These radicals subsequently react with Cl2 to form the products via a proposed chemical mechanism, which is discussed herein. This is the first detailed study of stereochemical effects on the products of a gas-phase Cl+olefin reaction. FTIR spectra (0.25 cm(-1) resolution) of meso- and DL-2,3-dichlorobutane are presented. The relative rate technique was used (at 900 Torr and 297 K) to measure: k(Cl + 3-chloro-1-butene) = (2.1 +/- 0.4) x 10(-10), k(Cl + 1-chloro-2-butene) = (2.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(-10), and k(Cl + 2,3-dichlorobutane) = (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(-11) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1).

Photocatalytic cleavage of hydroxytriazenes: a solid-state synthesis of azo-dyes under sunlight irradiation

Sunlight-induced decomposition of hydroxytriazenes, and green photochemical synthesis of azo-dyes is described. Three substituted hydroxytriazenes, viz: 3-hydroxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)-1-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)triazene (o-CFHT), 3-hydroxy-3-(3-methylphenyl)-1-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)triazene (m-CFHT), and 3-hydroxy-3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)triazene (p-CFHT) were co-crystallized with ??-naphthol in equimolar ratio and exposed to sunlight for 9?C10?h. The reaction resulted in formation of azo-dyes which were identified by comparison with the products obtained by the conventional method (standard azo-dye), by use of HPLC. A probable mechanism has been suggested. This is first eco-friendly synthesis of azo-dyes using hydroxytriazenes.

The results described represent and extension of the applicability of simple chiral building blocks to EPC-synthesis.

Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200–500°C range with residue (1.7–6.8% wt), which then decomposed in the 500–800°C range.     

Photoinduced cyclization of 3-acyl-2-halo-1-[(ω-phenylethynyl)alkyl]indoles to azaheterocyclo[1,2,3-lm]-fused benzo[c]carbazoles

A one-pot synthesis of azaheterocyclo[1,2,3-lm]-fused benzo[c]carbazoles (2 and 3) has been developed by photocyclization of 3-acyl-2-halo-1-[(ω-phenylethynyl)alkyl] indoles (1) in good to excellent yields. All products are formed from 1 via two sequential photocyclization reactions. Two products, 9-chloro-7,8-dihydro-6H-benzo[c]pyrido[1,2,3-lm]carbazole (2a-h) and 7,8-dihydro-6H-benzo[c]pyrido[1,2,3-lm]carbazole (3a-h), are produced in the photocyclization of 2-halo-1-[(ω-phenylethynyl)alkyl]indole-3-carbaldehydes (1a-h). In contrast, only products 2a-h are produced in the photocyclization of 3-acetyl-2-chloro-1-[(ω-phenylethynyl)alkyl]indole-3-carbaldehydes (1o-t). The 9-H in 3a-h (n = 2) does originate from the formyl group in 1a-h via 1,5-hydrogen shift. The structures of three new products, 9-bromo-7,8-dihydro-6H-benzo[c]pyrido[1,2,3-lm]carbazole (2b), 9-chloro-10-methyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-benzo[c]pyrido[1,2,3-lm]carbazole (3h) and 12-chloro-7,8-dihydro-6H-benzo[c]pyrido[1,2,3-lm]carbazole (2w), have been corroborated by single-crystal X-ray structural analyses.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic properties and applications of novel N-heterocycle-containing benzotriazoles as UV absorbers

Two novel iV-heterocycle-containing benzotriazole compounds,5-(5-chloro-2-benzotriazolyl)-6-hydroxy-l,4-dimethyl-3-car-bonitrile -2-pyridone(2) and 4-(5-chloro-2-benzotriazoIyl)-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3-pyrazolone(4),were synthesized from reactant 4- chloro-2-nitroaniline via diazotization,azo coupling,reductive cyclization and acidification.Their structures were confirmed by FT-IR,~1H NMR,mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis.Their spectral properties were investigated and compared with that of a common commercial benzotriazole UV absorber Tinuvin 326.It is found that the novel Af-heterocycle-containing benzotriazole compounds exhibit sharp single peak in the range of 280-400 nm and have much higher molar extinction coefficients than that of Tinuvin 326.Their anti-UV protection properties on polyester fabric were also evaluated and compound 4 was much superior to compound 2 due to its higher exhaustion.
