Generation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-Butyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">λ</Emphasis><Superscript>5</Superscript>-phosphanedione and Its Chemical Properties

Flash vacuum thermolysis of trimethylsilyl tert-butylphosphonohalidates involved elimination of halo(trimethyl)silane with the formation of tert-butyl-λ⁵-phosphanedione whose structure was confirmed by chemical reactions. tert-Butyl-λ⁵-phosphanedione readily undergoes trimerization, reacts with 2-phenyloxirane to give cycloaddition product, and takes up alcohols.     

Reactions of phenylenedioxytrihalophosphoranes with arylacetylenes: VII. Reaction of 2,2,2-trichloro-4-fluoro-1,3,2λ<Superscript>5</Superscript>-benzodioxaphosphole with phenylacetylene

2,2,2-Trichloro-4-fluoro-1,3,2⁵-benzodioxaphosphole reacts with phenylacetylene to give 2,7-dichloro-5-fluoro-4-phenyl-2H-1,2⁵-benzoxaphosphinine 2-oxide. Hydrolysis of the latter leads to opening of the oxaphosphinine ring with formation of (E)-2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-6-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylethenylphosphonic acid.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 12, 2004, pp. 1846–1851.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Mironov, Shtyrlina, Varaksina, Efremov, Konovalov.     

Study of the reaction of 3,6-di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">о</Emphasis>-benzoquinone with organozinc and organocadmium compounds

The effect of substituents in the reactions of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-о-benzoquinone with organozinc and organocadmium compounds, leading to three types of products: 3-alkyl-6-tert-butyl-о-benzoquinones, 4-alkyl-3,6-di-tert-butyl-о-benzoquinones, and 2-alkoxy-(or 2-phenoxy)-3,6-di-tert-butylphenols. Correlation analysis gave evidence to show that the first- and second-type products are formed by nucleophilic 1,2- and 1,4-addition, while substituted phenols result from single-electron transfer.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-Chloro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-unsaturated carbonyls as convenient precursors of highly substituted benzenes

The Diels–Alder reactions of three β-chloro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 1–3 with different dienes were carried out to afford highly functionalized cyclohexenes 4–9, bearing quaternary centers, in good yields. These cycloadducts (CAs) undergo dehydrochlorination with subsequent aromatization in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene DBU to produce new substituted benzenes 11–14. Compound 10 is the product of lactonization and removal of an HCl molecule from compound 7. All products were characterized by NMR, IR, elementary analysis and some of them by MS. Structure assignments of isomers were carried out on the basis of NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants using 1D, 2D and heteronOe NMR techniques.     

Reaction of 3,4,6-Triisopropyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">о</Emphasis>-benzoquinone with 3,4,6-Triisopropylcatechol

Formation of protonated 3,4,6-triisopropylsemiquinone radicals in solution of a mixture of 3,4,6- triisopropyl-о-benzoquinone and 3,4,6-triisopropylcatechol was shown using ESR spectroscopy. Heating the mixture to 110°С leads to the formation of the condensation products, additional amount of 3,4,6-triisopropylcatechol, and evolution of propylene. Mathematical simulation of the kinetics of the reaction was performed.

Directed Aminomethylation of Pyrrole,Indole, and Carbazole with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>-Tetramethylmethanediamine

Catalytic aminomethylation of pyrrole and indole with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylmethanediamine in the presence of 5 mol % of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O proceeds selectively at the positions 2, 5 of pyrrole and 1, 3 of indole. Carbazole under the same conditions affords 3-formyl-9-aminomethyl derivative. The reaction in the presence of 5 mol % of K₂CO₃ occurs as monoaminomethylation: for pyrrole at the position 2, for indole at the position 3, and for carbazole at the nitrogen atom of the substrate. Water-soluble 1,1′-(1H-pyrrole-2,5-diyl)bis(N,N-dimethylmethanamine) exhibits a fungistatic activity with respect to phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani.

Computer models of eutectic-type <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis> diagrams with allotropy

Using the eutectic-type T–x–y diagram as an example, it can be represented the analysis of its geometrical construction dependence on the temperature of a component two polymorphous modifications which participate in mono- and invariant metatectic and invariant eutectic (eutectoid) transformations above or below (and within) binary eutectics temperature intervals and below a ternary eutectic temperature. Computer models for considered phase diagrams have been designed. Such models help to solve applied tasks like visualization, isopleths and isothermal sections decoding, mass balances calculation and evaluation of phase and conglomerate concentration in microstructure.

A procedure for extraction-photometric determination of N′,N′-dialkylbenzhydrazides has been proposed; the procedure is based on the formation of its colored complex with copper (II) followed by extraction with p-xylene and absorbance measurements at 460 nm (0.1–0.4 mmol of analyte in the sample) or at 330 nm (0.005–0.025 mmol of analyte in the sample).     

Cu<Superscript>I</Superscript>-catalyzed <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>’-diarylation of diamines of adamantane series

A copper(I) complex-catalyzed N,N’-diarylation of diamines based on 1,3-disubstituted adamantane, using aryl iodides bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, was studied. In the case of 2,2’-(adamantane-1,3-diyl)ethanediamine, the optimal catalyst system is CuI—2-(isobutyryl)cyclohexanone—Cs₂CO₃—DMF. The highest yield of diarylation product was reached in the case of 4-methoxyiodobenzene (79%). In the case of more spatially hindered adamantane-1,3-diyldimethanamine, 1,1’-binaphthalene-2,2’-diol (BINOL) should be used, with the highest yield of the target product (84%) being reached in the reaction with iodobenzene.     

Synthesis of 20<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-protopanaxadiol <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-D-galactopyranosides

20S-Protopanaxadiol (3β,12β,20S-trihydroxydammar-24-ene) 3-, 12-, and 20-O-β-D-galactopyranosides were synthesized for the first time. Condensation of 12β-acetoxy-3β,20S-dihydroxydammar-24-ene (1) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosylbromide (α-acetobromogalactose) (2) under Koenigs–Knorr conditions with subsequent removal of the protecting groups resulted in regio- and stereoselective formation of 20S-protopanaxadiol 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, an analog of the natural ginsenoside Rh₂. Glycosylation of 12β,20S-dihydroxydammar-24-en-3-one (5) by 2 with subsequent treatment of the reaction products with NaBH₄ in isopropanol and deacetylation with NaOMe gave 20S-protopanaxadiol 12- and 20-O-β-Dgalactopyranosides.     

Isotope effects on band intensities in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>Σ<Superscript>+</Superscript>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>Σ<Superscript>+</Superscript> system of GaO isotopomers

Relative intensities of eight vibronic bands, belonging to the Δυ = −2 sequence of the B ²Σ⁺ −X ²Σ⁺ electronic transition of four GaO isotopomers have been measured and interpreted in terms of possible isotope effects on the parameters governing the band intensity. Obtained results showed very small isotope effect on the Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids and revealed that the observed intensity ratios of the corresponding isotope bands are controlled mainly by the isotope abundance of ⁶⁹Ga and ⁷¹Ga in natural gallium.

Exchange energy for two closed shells generated by a bare Coulomb potential energy −<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ze</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis> in the limit of large <Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis>, in two dimensions

Two-dimensional (2D) inhomogeneous electron assemblies are becoming increasingly important in Condensed Matter and associated technologies. Here, therefore, we contribute to the Density Functional Theory of such 2D electronic systems by calculating, analytically, (i) the idempotent Dirac density matrix γ(r, r′) generated by two closed shells for the bare Coulomb potential −Ze ²/r and (ii) the exchange energy density e_x(r){\varepsilon_x({\bf r})} . Some progress is also possible concerning the exchange potential V _x (r), one non-local approximation being the Slater potential 2e_x(r)/n(r){2\varepsilon_x(r)/n(r)} , with n(r) the ground state electron density. However, to complete the theory of V _x (r), the functional derivative of the single-particle kinetic energy per unit area δt(s)/δn(r) is still required.
