1-(2-Quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-Di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 1-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-, and 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The corresponding 1-(2-quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have been obtained from reactions of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives, with 2-hydrazinoquinoxaline, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, and ethoxycarbonylhydrazine. On interaction with ethoxycarbonylhydrazine the intermediate 2-[1-(-ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]ethylidene-1,3-cyclohexanediones were also isolated. From the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone and 2-carboxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-(2-carboxyphenyl)hydrazinomethylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained, the cyclization of which in ethanol in the presence of HCl led to 1-(2-carboxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.     

2-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)-1-phosphaethin, 1,4-bis-(trimethylsiloxy)-1,4-bis-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)-2, 3-diphosphabutadien

The title compounds are prepared for the first time by reaction of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-benzoylchloride and tris-(trimethylsilyl)-phosphane.     

Synthesis and epimerization studies of 1-alkyl-2-carbomethoxy-(benzyloxy)-4-methylazetidines

A number of 1-alkyl-2-carbomethoxy(benzyloxy)-4-methylazetidines have been prepared by reaction of primary amines with α,γ-dibromo esters. Only one isomer was isolated from the reaction mixture. α-Aminolactones can also be obtained as the minor product of the reaction sequence.     

Stability of (C60)2 and epoxide dimers, (C60)2ON, and their anions

The PM3, AM1, and MINDO3 semiemperical methods are used to calculate the the energy difference between C60ON and C60ON- and the bond dissociation energy necessary to cleave neutral and negatively charged (C60)2 dimers and epoxide dimers, (C60)2ON, to their respective monomers C60, and C60ON/2. The results show that the anions of the dimers are significantly more stable than neutral dimers. This result may explain the higher thermal stability of the observed ferromagnetic phase in photolyzed C60. which has been attributed to epoxide dimers and oligomers. It also provides an explanation for the origin of unpaired electron spin necessary for ferromagnetism.
