Efficient synthesis and spectral determination of 11‐[(o‐ m‐ and p‐substituted)‐phenyl]‐8‐chloro‐3,3‐dimethyl‐2,3,4,5,10,11‐hexahydro‐1H‐dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin‐1‐ones

A new synthesis to obtain eleven novel derivatives of 11‐[(o‐ m‐ and p‐substituted)‐phenyl]‐8‐chloro‐3,3‐dimethyl‐2,3,4,5,10,11‐hexahydro‐1H‐dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin‐1‐ones with possible pharmacological activity in the central nervous system in two efficient steps has been developed. The final products were obtained by condensation and cyclization between 3‐[4‐chloro‐1,2‐phenylenediamine]‐5,5‐dimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenone with (o‐ m‐ and p‐substituted)benzaldehyde. The structure of all products was corroborated by ir, ¹H‐nmr, ¹³C‐nmr and high resolution in ms.     

Surface activities and thermodynamic properties of novel cationic surfactants with hydroxymethyl group

A new series of cationic surfactants, N–alkyl–N,N–dimethyl–N–(p–(hydroxymethyl) benzyl) ammonium chlorides (p-DHBA-m), were synthesized and the structures were characterized by ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR, FT–IR and ESI–MS. The surface activities, thermodynamic properties and aggregation behaviors of p-DHBA-m in aqueous solutions were respectively studied by means of surface tension, isothermal titration calorimetry and steady-state fluorescence methods. Thermodynamic parameters show that the micellization is an entropy-driven process. According to the fluorescence quenching method, the micelle aggregation numbers (N_agg) of p-DHBA-m were calculated and found that the increase of temperature or the elongation of alkyl chain length could lead to the reduction of the N_agg, respectively.     

Radical polymerization of ortho-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenyl ethyl fumarate involving intramolecular hydrogen abstraction and ring opening of cyclic acetal

The polymerization of o-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenyl ethyl fumarate (DOPEF) initiated with dimethyl 2,2′-azobisiso-butyrate (MAIB) was studied kinetically in benzene. The polymerization rate (R_p) at 60°C was given by R_p = k [MAIB]^0.76 [DOPEF]^0.71. The overall activation energy of polymerization was calculated to be 98.3 kJ/mol. The number-average molecular weight of resulting poly(DOPEF) was in the range of 1000–3100. ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra of resulting polymers revealed that the radical polymerization of DOPEF proceeds in a complicated manner involving vinyl addition, intramolecular hydrogen abstraction, and further ring opening of the cyclic acetal at higher temperatures. From the copolymerization of DOPEF (M₁) and styrene (St) (M₂) at 60°C, the monomer reactivity ratios were obtained to be r₁ = 0.02 and r₂ = 0.20, the values of which are similar to those of the copolymerization of ethyl o-formylphenyl fumarate and St. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Radical polymerization behavior of ethyl ortho-formylphenyl fumarate involving intramolecular hydrogen abstraction

The radical polymerization behavior of ethyl ortho-formyl-phenyl fumarate (EFPF) using dimethyl 2,2′-azobisisobutyrate (MAIB) as initiator was studied in benzene kinetically and ESR spectroscopically. The polymerization rate (R_p) at 60°C was given by R_p = k[MAIB]^0.76[EFPF]^0.56. The number-average molecular weight of poly(EFPF) was in the range of 1600–2900. EFPF was also easily photopolymerized at room temperature without any photosensitizer probably because of the photosensitivity of the formyl group of monomer. Analysis of ¹H? and ¹³C-NMR spectra of the resulting polymer revealed that the radical polymerization of EFPF proceeds in a complicated manner involving vinyl addition and intramolecular hydrogen-abstraction. The polymerization system was found to involve ESR-observable poly(EFPF) radicals under the actual polymerization conditions. ESR-determined rate constant (2.4–4.0 L/mol s) of propagation at 60°C increased with decreasing monomer concentration, which is mainly responsible for the observed low de-pendency of R_p on the EFPF concentration. Copolymerizations of EFPF with some vinyl monomers were also examined. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and polymerization of methyl 3-methylenecyclobutene-1-carboxylate and dimethyl 3-methylenecyclobutene-1,2-dicarboxylate

The two title monomers were synthesized. In both cases the key cyclobutane intermediates were obtained by cycloaddition of allene to acrylonitrile or chloromaleic anhydride. These two new monomers proved to be highly reactive in free radical polymerization, and each polymerized spontaneously in air at room temperature. Linear polymers were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 35° with AIBN and UV light. At higher temperatures crosslinking became a problem in some instances. The structure of the polymers derived from 1,4 polymerization in the diene portion of the monomers was confirmed by ¹³C-NMR, ¹H-NMR and IR spectra. Copolymers were prepared with methyl methacrylate, styrene, and p-methoxystyrene and were always rich in the methylene-cyclobutene monomers used. Films of homopolymers and copolymers could be cast from chloroform solution.     

Synthesis and Characterization of 2-Arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ5-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones

The reactions of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 8 and N-methyl-N′-phenyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 9 with phenylselenenyl chloride 6 and p-chlorophenylselenenyl chloride 7 furnished the N-arylseleno-N,N′-diorgano-N′-(trimethylsilyl)ureas 10–13 . The reactions of 10–13 with MePCl₂ and PhPCl₂ resulted in the formation of a new class of compounds, the 2-arylseleno-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones 14–19 . The new selenophosphoranes 20 and 21 were obtained in the reaction of 15 and 17 with p-nitrophenol in the presence of triethylamine. The identity and structure of the new compounds were established by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ³¹P- and ⁷⁷Se-NMR spectroscopy in the case of the selenophosphoranes 14–21 , and mass spectrometry in the case of 11 and 13 . A possible mechanism of the reaction leading to the selenophosphoranes is discussed. Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of the selenophosphoranes 19 and 20 were conducted. Both display distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry at phosphorus, the major distortions being imposed by the four-membered rings.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 2‐methylthio‐3H‐7‐[(o‐; m‐ and p‐substituted)phenoxy]‐4‐(p‐substituted‐phenyl)‐[1,5]benzodiazepines

A series of eleven new 2‐methylthio‐3H‐7‐[(o‐; m‐ and p‐substituted) phenoxy]‐4‐(p‐substituted‐phenyl)‐[1,5]benzodiazepines, which have potentially useful pharmacological activities, has been synthesized by condensing the 4‐[(o‐; m‐ and p‐R₁)phenoxy]‐1,2‐phenylendiamines with 3,3‐dimercapto‐1‐(p‐R₂‐phenyl)‐2‐propen‐1‐one. Afterward the lH‐[1,5]benzodiazepine‐2‐thiones obtained were treated with sodium hydride and methyl iodide. The structure of all products was corroborated by ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and ms.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 7‐chloro‐5‐[(o‐ and p‐R1)phenyl]‐1‐R2‐3H‐[1,4]benzodiazepin‐2‐ones

A series of twelve new 7‐chloro‐5‐[(o‐ and p‐R₁)phenyl]‐1‐R₂‐3H‐[1,4] benzo‐diazepin‐2‐ones, which have possible pharmacological properties were synthesized. The synthesis of all the final compounds was carried out by four steps. The structure of all final products was corroborated by ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and ms, and have been obtained in 35‐94% yield.     

Synthesis and characterization of ruthenium(ii) complexes of 5-hydroxyflavones

Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide)bis(flavonato)ruthenium(II) complexes, RuL₂(DMSO)₂, were synthesized by the reaction of dichlorotetrakis(dimethyl sulfoxide)ruthenium(II) with the sodium salts of 5-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-4′-methoxyflavone and 5-hydroxy-3′,4′,5′,7-tetramethoxyflavone, ( L ). The complexation was followed by ¹H nmr spectroscopy. The 1:1 kinetically favoured tris(dimethyl sulfoxide)chloroflavonatoruthenium(II) complexes, RuLCl(DMSO)₃, were initially formed and then transformed into the thermodynamically more stable ones. Each one of these complexes, by reacting with another equivalent of lig-and L, also gave rise to a mixture of 1:2 kinetic species, from which the 1:2 thermodynamically more stable bis(dimethyl sulfoxide)bis(flavonato)ruthenium(II) complexes, RuL₂(DMSO)₂, were formed. The complexes were characterized by extensive studies involving ¹H, ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry and elemental analysis. Such 1:2 complexes exhibited properties of two nonequivalent flavonate ligands and also of two non-equivalent dimethyl sulfoxide ligands; one of these dimethyl sulfoxide ligands is considered to be S-bonded and the other O-bonded. Also two quasireversible one-electron redox steps were observed at 0.53 to 0.57 and 0.44 to 0.41 V (vs Saturated Calomel Electrode). The spectroscopic results obtained allow for the discussion of stereochemistry of each bis(dimethyl sulfoxide)bis(flavonato)ruthenium(II) complex and to postulate its possible structure as one corresponding to the more anisochronous species.     

Reductive Coupling Reaction of Aryliminomethylferrocenes with Triethyl Orthoformate Induced by Low‐valent Titanium

Reductive coupling reaction of aryliminomethylferrocenes FcCH = NAr[(1, Ar=QHs (a), p‐ClC₆H₄ (b), p‐BrC₆H₄ (c), p‐CH₃C₆H₄ (d), m‐ClC₆H₄ (e)] with triethyl orthoformate (2) in Zn‐TiCl₄ system gave three kinds of products: 1, 3‐diaryl‐4, 5‐diferrocenyl imidazolidines (3), N, N‐disubstituted formamides (4), and 1, 2‐diferrocenyl ethylene (5). ¹H NMR spectra proved that all the compounds 3 obtained were dl‐isomers. All the new compounds 3 and 4 were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR (for 3) and IR spectra. The molecular structure of 3c was determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

In situ synthesis of mononuclear copper(II) complexes of the new tridentate ligand bis[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methyl]amine

Two mononuclear copper complexes, {bis[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl‐κN²)methyl]amine‐κN}(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐κN²)(perchlorato‐κO)copper(II) perchlorate, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₅H₈N₂)(C₁₂H₁₉N₅)]ClO₄, (I), and {bis[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl‐κN²)methyl]amine‐κN}bis(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐κN²)copper(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate), [Cu(C₅H₈N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₉N₅)](PF₆)₂, (II), have been synthesized by the reactions of different copper salts with the tripodal ligand tris[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methyl]amine (TDPA) in acetone–water solutions at room temperature. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that they contain the new tridentate ligand bis[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methyl]amine (BDPA), which cannot be obtained by normal organic reactions and has thus been captured in the solid state by in situ synthesis. The coordination of the Cu^II ion is distorted square pyramidal in (I) and distorted trigonal bipyramidal in (II). The new in situ generated tridentate BDPA ligand can act as a meridional or facial ligand during the process of coordination. The crystal structures of these two compounds are stabilized by classical hydrogen bonding as well as intricate nonclassical hydrogen‐bond interactions.     

Reactivity of cobaloxime bound to polystyrene chain by carbon–cobalt σ bond

The (alkyl)-bis(dimethylglyoximato)pyridinecobalt attached to polychloromethylstyrene by a cobalt–carbon bond was prepared by the reaction of Co(II)(DH)₂Py with polychloromethylstyrene in benzene. The fraction of p-vinylbenzyl·Co(DH)₂Py introduced to the polymer was 8.1 and 2.1 mole %. The photodecomposition of the polymer-bonded cobaloxime was investigated by following the change of the visible spectrum. The rate constant k_dec of the polymer-bonded cobaloxime was 1.1 × 10^?2 sec^?1 in benzene; it is one-fourth of that of its monomeric analog, benzyl·Co(DH)₂Py. The k_dec values of the cobaloximes were also measured in benzene–dimethyl sulfoxide mixed solvents, and the polymer effects were discussed. The dependence of the photodecomposition on energy of the irradiation light was investigated, and it was found that the absorption band near 470 nm is important for the photodecomposition of the cobalt–carbon bond. Spectroscopic measurements of the ligand exchange reaction of polymer-bonded cobaloxime with pyridine in dimethyl sulfoxide gave a larger equilibrium constant (1.2 × 10⁴ liter/mole) than that of benzyl·Co(DH)₂Py (9.4 × 10² liter/mole). The kinetic data of the ligand exchange reaction indicated that the larger equilibrium constant for the polymeric system is due to the smaller rate constant of the reverse reaction. The thermodynamic parameters were also obtained.     

Polarographic Behaviour and Determination of Kinetic Parameters of Lead-Pamoate Complex in Dimethyl Sulfoxide

The polarography of lead ion in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was investigated in the DMSO concentration range 0–80 vol.%. The complex species identified were Pb₂(DMSO)⁴⁺₃, Pb(DMSO)²⁺₃ and Pb(DMSO)²⁺₆ in [DMSO]<10 vol.%, 10< [DMSO]<43 vol.% and [DMSO]>43 vol.%, respectively. In the presence of pamoic acid, the reduction of lead ion in DMSO was two-electron reversible diffusion-controlled at pH≤6.0, but it became irreversible at pH>6.0. The complex species identified was Pb(D_m)₂(P_m)₃(OH)^6? at pH>6.0. The rate constants of electro-reduction and electro-oxidation, activation energies were determined. The hydrolysis constants of lead ion in dimethyl sulfoxide concentration 40–70 vol.% at pH 4.5–6.0 were found to be of the order of 10^?6. The stability constants of the Pb(DMSO)²⁺₃ and Pb(DMSO)²⁺₀ were also determined to be of the orders of 10¹ and 10⁵, respectively.     

Carbon-13?carbon-13 coupling constants of 13C-methyl labeled o- and p-substituted toluenes

From ¹³C-7 labeled toluene the following ¹³C-methyl o- and p-substituted toluenes were synthesized: o-NO₂, -NH₂, -I and ? CN; p-NO₂ and -NH₂. Each of these labeled compounds was studied by carbon magnetic resonance to determine all carbon-13? carbon-13 splittings involving the methyl carbon.     

Exactly alternating silarylene-siloxane polymers. III. Structure-property relationships for polymers containing p-phenylene and p,p′-diphenyl ether silarylene units

A series of 12 different exactly alternating silarylene-siloxane polymers was prepared by low temperature condensation polymerization of arylenedisilanol with bisureidosilane monomers. The structural characterization of the polymers was carried out by ¹H NMR spectroscopy, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectrometry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC). dilute solution viscometry, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Homopolymers and copolymers that contained either or both p-phenylene and p,p′-diphenyl ether units in the silarylene group and dimethyl or methylvinyl units in the siloxane group were prepared in high molecular weights.     

Radical polymerization of vinyl thiocyanatoacetate: Participation of group‐transfer mechanism

Vinyl thiocyanatoacetate (VTCA) was synthesized, and its radical polymerization behavior was studied in acetone with dimethyl 2,2′‐azobisisobutyrate (MAIB) as an initiator. The initial polymerization rate (R_p) at 60 °C was expressed by R_p = k[MAIB]^0.6±0.1 [VTCA]^1.0±0.1 where k is a rate constant. The overall activation energy of the polymerization was 112 kJ/mol. The number‐average molecular weights of the resulting poly (VTCA)s (1.4–1.6 × 10⁴) were almost independent of the concentrations of the initiator and monomer, indicating chain transfer to the monomer. The chain‐transfer constant to the monomer was estimated to be 9.6 × 10^?3 at 60 °C. According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of poly (VTCA), the radical polymerization of VTCA proceeded through normal vinyl addition and intramolecular transfer of the cyano group. The cyano group transfer became progressively more important with decreasing monomer concentration. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis,free-radical polymerization,and stereochemical configuration of methyl α-p-cyanobenzylacrylate

Methyl α-p-cyanobenzylacrylate was synthesized from dimethyl malonate following well-known organic reactions. The purified monomer was polymerized by a free-radical mechanism in benzene solution, using AIBN as initiator in the interval 50–90°C. The kinetic results seem to indicate an apparent ceiling temperature near 90°C. The analysis by ¹³C-NMR of polymers obtained indicates that the macromolecular chains are predominantly syndiotactic and the tacticity is independent of the polymerization temperature in the experimental interval studied. However, the determination of conditional probabilities for iso- and syndiotactic additions and the persistence ratios indicate that the propagation mechanism for the radical polymerization of methyl α-p-cyanobenzylacrylate does not follow a typical Bernoullian statistics.     

The Microstructure of Poly(Isobutylene-co-p-Methylstyrene) by NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The microstructure of isobutylene-para-methylstyrene (IB-pMeSt) copolymers was studied by NMR spectroscopy. ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra were used to obtain overall copolymer compositions. ¹³C-NMR signals were assigned in terms of triad monomer sequences, and triad distributions were obtained over a wide copolymer composition range. According to statistical tests, the IB-pMeSt copolymerization cannot be described by zero- (Bernoullian) or first-order Markov models because reactivity ratios r _IB and r _pMeSt were found to change with the monomer feed composition. Additional insight into the microstructure of IB-pMeSt copolymers was gained by calculating sequence numbers, run numbers, and sequence lengths from triad distributions. Further, the Kelen-Tüdös plot showed a distinct curvature indicating that the Kelen-Tüdös method, applied over the entire monomer feed composition range, cannot give meaningful reactivity ratios for this monomer pair. Evidently the simple two-parameter Mayo-Lewis model is inadequate to describe the IB-pMeSt copolymerization system.     

Synthesis and Transformations of 4-Phosphorylated 2-Alkyl(aryl)-5-hydrazinooxazoles

Treatment of 1-phosphorylated 2,2-dichloroethenylcarboxamides with excess hydrazine hydrate gives in high yields phosphorylated derivatives of 2-alkyl(aryl)-5-hydrazinooxazoles containing the P(O)(OCH₃)₂, P(O)(OC₂H₅)₂, and P⁺(C₆H₅)₃ClO₄ ^- groups in the 4-position of the ring. The presence of the hydrazine group in these oxazole derivatives was confirmed not only by the spectral data, but also by the reactions with p-toluic aldehyde, p-toluic chloride, and phenyl isothiocyanate.
