Ethyl­ammonium and diethyl­ammonium salts of chloranilic acid

In the crystals of two title salts of chloranilic acid (2,5‐di­chloro‐3,6‐di­hydroxy‐p‐benzo­quinone), namely ethyl­ammonium chloranilate, C₂H₈N⁺·C₆HCl₂O₄^?, (I), and diethyl­ammonium chloranilate, C₄H₁₂N⁺·C₆HCl₂O₄^?, (II), the chloranilate ions are present as a hydrogen‐bonded dimer which has an inversion center. The ethyl­ammonium and diethyl­ammonium ions link the dimers through N—H?O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network in (I) and a one‐dimensional chain in (II).

Reaction of sodium salts of dialkylphosphorous acids with carboxylic acid nitriles

Conclusions The reaction of the Na salts of dialkylphosphorous acids with nitriles leads to the dialkyl esters of N-(1-dialkylphosphonylalkyl) amidophosphoric acids, whose formation proceeds via the aminophosphonate-amidophosphate rearrangement of the sodium derivatives of bis(dialkylphosphonyl)alkylamines.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 499–500, February, 1978.     

Rapid reduction of carboxylic acid salts with borane in tetrahydrofuran.

Carboxylic acid salts are rapidly reduced to the corresponding alcohols with two molar equivalents of borane in THF. A possible mechanism via acyloxyborane is presented.     

Synthesis of stable derivatives of cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid

Large-scale syntheses of 3-(cycloprop-2-en-1-oyl)oxazolidinones from acetylene and ethyl diazoacetate are described. Unlike other cyclopropenes that bear a single substitutent at C-3, these compounds are stable to long-term storage. Although the cyclopropene derivatives are unusually stable, they are reactive toward cyclic and acyclic dienes in stereoselective Diels-Alder reactions.     

Mono-nitration of aromatic compounds via their nitric acid salts

Aromatic compounds bearing a basic nitrogen atom can be converted to the corresponding nitric acid salts. Mono-nitration of the compounds can be carried out by adding a dichloromethane solution of the salts to sulfuric acid, or by adding acetyl chloride (or trifluoroacetic anhydride) to a dichloromethane solution of the salts. This protocol provides, among other benefits, the most convenient and reliable way for the prevention of over-/under-nitration and is especially suitable for scale-up.     

The adsorption of quaternary ammonium salts at a mercury solution interface: Part II. Non-symmetrical quaternary ammonium salts

The adsorption of triethyl alkyl (and allyl) ammonium bromides on a mercury electrode has been investigated. The isotherms and values of the free energy of adsorption yield information on the mode of adsorption of the cations. The formation of partial bimolecular films on the surface of mercury by the cations studied has been described and a simple explanation put forward concerning the mechanism of destruction of these films.

Pyrimidine based carboxylic acid terminated aromatic and semiaromatic hyperbranched polyamide-esters: synthesis and characterization

Carboxylic acid terminated aromatic and semiaromatic hyperbranched polyamide-esters (HBPAEs) containing pyrimidine moieties were prepared by polycondensation of 4-hydroxy-2,6-diaminopyrimidine (CBB′) to a double molar ratio of various diacid chlorides (A₂) without any catalyst. The products were soluble in organic solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and displayed glass transition temperature (T_g) between 180 and 244 °C. The polymerization products have been investigated with FTIR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR analyses and the degree of branching was higher than 60%. Amorphous polymers had inherent viscosity (η_inh) ranging between 0.21-0.28 dL/g and had excellent thermal stability with 10% weight loss at 346-508 °C.     

Frovatriptan salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids

The interaction of the antimigraine pharmaceutical agent frovatriptan with acetic acid and succinic acid yields the salts (±)‐6‐carbamoyl‐N‐methyl‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐carbazol‐3‐aminium acetate, C₁₄H₁₈N₃O⁺·C₂H₃O₂⁻, (I), (R)‐(+)‐6‐carbamoyl‐N‐methyl‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐carbazol‐3‐aminium 3‐carboxypropanoate monohydrate, C₁₄H₁₈N₃O⁺·C₄H₅O₄⁻·H₂O, (II), and bis[(R)‐(+)‐6‐carbamoyl‐N‐methyl‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐carbazol‐3‐aminium] succinate trihydrate, 2C₁₄H₁₈N₃O⁺·C₄H₄O₄²⁻·3H₂O, (III). The methylazaniumyl substitutent is oriented differently in all three structures. Additionally, the amide group in (I) is in a different orientation. All the salts form three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures. In (I), the cations form head‐to‐head hydrogen‐bonded amide–amide catemers through N—H...O interactions, while in (II) and (III) the cations form head‐to‐head amide–amide dimers. The cation catemers in (I) are extended into a three‐dimensional network through further interactions with acetate anion acceptors. The presence of succinate anions and water molecules in (II) and (III) primarily governs the three‐dimensional network through water‐bridged cation–anion associations via O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The structures reported here shed some light on the possible mode of noncovalent interactions in the aggregation and interaction patterns of drug molecule adducts.     

The solubilization of Orange OT in aqueous solutions of alkyl-substituted ammonium salts of polystyrenesulfonic acid

Summary The solubilization of Orange OT in aqueous solutions of alkyl-substituted ammonium salts of polystyrenesulfonic acid has been studied. It has been found that the solubilizing power of polyelectrolytes increases with the increase of the carbon atom number of alkyl groups of counter-ions. It is suggested that the phenomenon originates from the increased hydrophobic nature of polyelectrolytes due to counter-ion binding.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Solubilisation von Orange OT in wässerigen Lösungen alkylsubstituierter Ammoniumsalze von Polystyrolsulfonsäure untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Wirksamkeit zur Solubilisation von Polyelektrolyten mit der Zunahme der Kohlenstoffatomzahl der Alkylketten der Gegenionen steigt. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die Erscheinung durch die zunehmende hydrophobe Eigenschaft von Polyelektrolyten infolge der Gegenionenbindung verständlich ist.

     

The first stable beta-fluorosilylanion

The reaction of 2 equiv of tris(trimethylsilyl)silylfluoride with potassium tert-butoxide in the presence of donor molecules (THF, DME, 18-crown-6) leads to the clean formation of an adduct of 1-potassio-2-fluorotetrakis(trimethylsilyl)disilane. Attempts to transmetalate this compound effect the elimination of metal fluoride accompanied by the formation of tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)disilene. The latter can either be trapped in a cycloaddition reaction or in the absence of trapping reagents dimerizes to octakis(trimethylsilyl)cyclotetrasilane.     

Graft copolymerization induced by thermal reactions of the binary alkali salts of poly(carboxylic acid)–brominated carboxylic acid in bulk

Thermal reactions of the binary alkali salts of poly(carboxylic acid)–brominated carboxylic acid such as sodium or potassium poly(4-vinylbenzoate)-2-bromopropanoate [Na or K (PVBA-2-BPA)] in bulk were investigated. A methanol solution of binary acids was prepared by fixing the molar ratio of the repeating unit of polymeric acid to the fraction of brominated carboxylic acid. The binary salts were prepared by the neutralization of the binary acid solution. The product of the thermal reaction followed by esterification was identified as a graft copolymer containing PVBA in the main chain and polylactic acid in the side chain. The reaction of 1/15 K (PVBA-2-BPA) at 120 °C for 2 h yielded the highest percentage of grafting (300%). The grafting proceeded gradually for the initial 2 h and then somewhat. Reactivity of the K salt was higher than that of the corresponding Na salt. The thermal reaction of 1/10 K [polymethacrylate-2-BPA (PMA-2-BPA)] at 120 °C for 2 h also yielded a graft copolymer, and the percentage of grafting was 300%. However, reaction temperatures higher than 120 °C caused homopolycondensation of K 2-BPA prior to grafting, and homopolycondensation occurred prior to grafting in the reaction with Na (PMA-2-BPA). © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
