Kinetics of 2-methyl-2-pentene epoxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide

The reaction rate at the initial period during the epoxidation of 2-methyl-2-pentene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of Mo(CO)₆ as catalyst varies linearly in the range of lower concentrations of olefin, hydroperoxide and catalyst. The reaction is losing the first order character in the region of higher concentrations due to the inhibition with the reaction products. This finds the confirmations in a discrepancy between the concentration and the instantaneous (temporal) reaction order.     

Reactions of 2-Amino-4-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)- and 2-Amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazoles with Aldehydes

Molecular structure of 1-methyl-1-fluoroquasisilatrane (2-methyl-2-fluoro-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctane)

The molecular structure of 1-methyl-1-fluoroquasisilatrane (2-methyl-2-fluoro-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctane) MeFSi(OCH₂CH₂)₂NH (I) is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 K. The coordination polyhedron of the silicon atom in this molecule is a slightly distorted trigonal bipyramid with an NH group and a strongly electron-withdrawing fluorine atom in the axial positions, and two endocyclic oxygen atoms and a CH₃ group in three vertices of the equatorial plane. The axial angle N→SiF is 171°. The length of the transannular donor-acceptor bond N→Si (2.058 Å) is as small as in 1-fluorosilatrane. The axial bond F-Si (1.660 Å) is longer than that in 1-fluorosilatrane and tetrahedral silicon compounds.     

PEG-400 as an efficient and recyclable reaction medium for the synthesis of 2-aryl-2-methyl-4,5-diphenyl-2,3- dihydro-2H-imidazoles

The highlights of this new method are shorter reaction times, good yields, room temperature, and use of nontoxic, inexpensive, and recyclable PEG-400.     

Anodic oxidation of sodium 2-mercaptobenztiazolate anion in the presence of 5-methyl-2-hexanol

The anodic oxidation of the sodium 2-mercaptobenztiazolate anion in alkaline solution yields a finely dispersed difficultly filterable form of di-(2-benztiazolyl)disulfide, an accelerant of the rubber sulfur vulcanization. A crucial problem in the establishing of the continuous di-(2-benztiazolyl)disulfide electrosynthesis is the choice of reaction mixture, which ensures easy filtration of the target product. It was found by using oscillographic voltammetry at platinum microelectrode that the sodium 2-mercaptobenztiazolate anion in aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of 5-methyl-2-hexanol is oxidized to a radical that undergoes dimerization, thus yielding easily filterable form of di-(2-benztiazolyl)disulfide. The obtained result is explained by assuming that the dimer formation occurs in the 5-methyl-2-hexanol adsorption layer at the electrode surface. A reaction scheme of the process is suggested.

Regioselectivity in the C-alkylation of triethyl 3-methyl-4-phosphonobut-2-enoate

The reaction of triethyl 3-methyl-4-phosphonobut-2-enoate (1) with three alkyl halides AlkX (Alk=Prⁱ, Me₂CHCH₂CH₂, andc-C₅H₉; X=Br, I) in the system KOH(solid)∩DMF∩Buⁿ ₄NBr at ≈20°C gives exclusively products of alkylation at C(2) with Δ² and/or Δ³ position of the double bond. Under the same conditions, the reaction of 1 with MeI gives a mixture of products with different substitution patterns. Only the use of an ion pair extraction technique affords 2-methyl-Δ²-products selectively, albeit in rather moderate yields. The Horner—Emmons olefination of PhCHO with the resulting phosphonates gives ethyl 2-alkyl-3-methyl-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienoates in high yields. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Oxidative alkylamination of 2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinone: unexpected dealkylation of the entering alkylamino group

The oxidative alkylamination of 2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinone by secondary alkylamines in the presence of KMnO₄ leads to the smooth formation of the expected 4-alkylamino-2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinones. The analogous reaction with primary alkylamines is accompanied by the partial or complete N-dealkylation of the entering alkylamino group depending on the temperature. *Dedicated with gratitude to an outstanding heterocyclic chemist, Prof. Henk van der Plas on the occasion of his eightieth jubilee.

Green chemistry approach to the synthesis of 3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and 2-methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and biological evaluation

ABSTRACT

A synthesis of two series of 3-substituted quinazolinones was performed utilizing a green chemistry approach, deep eutectic solvents and microwaves, namely. 2-Methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized in a two-step reaction, using choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). 3-Substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized in one-pot one-step reaction of anthranilic acid, amines and orthoester in a microwave reactor. For the synthesis of 2-methyl-3-substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, first conventional synthesis of benzoxazinone, as an intermediate, was performed. Further, benzoxazinone in reaction with corresponding amines, in choline choline:urea deep eutectic solvent, furnished desired compounds. These procedures are based on green principles with the aim of developing synthetic routes for the potential antitumor agents. All compounds were characterized by LC/MS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectral techniques. Compound 1 bearing trifluoromethoxyphenyl group showed promising activity against HuT-78 cell line with IC₅₀ of 51.4?±?5.1?µM.

The molecular and crystal structure of stable 5-methyl-2-methylsulfonyl-3-thiophenecarbonitrile oxide

A stable thiophene derivative, 5-methyi-2-methylsulfonyl-3-thiophenecarbonitrile oxide, which is active in reactions with dipolarophiles, was studied by means of X-ray structural analysis. In the crystalline state the structure includes two independent molecules with similar values of geometric and conformation parameters. The bond angle at the C atom of the nitrile oxide group is significantly different from 180°. The intramolecular distances between the C and S atoms in the nitrile oxide and sulfonyl groups are well below the equilibrium distance. The stability of the molecule is thought to be increased by electrostatic or donor-acceptor interactions between the atoms of these groups. The mutual orientation of the two independent molecules in the crystal is nearly orthogonal.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 725–727, April, 1993.     

Reaction of perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene with cycloalkanone oximes: new examples of the Beckmann—Chapman rearrangement

The base-catalyzed reaction of cycloalkanone oximes (la,b) with perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene (PFMP) initially affords the addition products,i.e., fluoroalkyl ethers (2a,b). In the presence of KOH, the latter undergoes dehydrofluorination to give perfluoroalkenyl ethers (3a,b).

Voltammetric study of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol at a modified carbon paste electrode

The voltammetric behavior of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol at a modified carbon paste electrode has been studied. Among the modifiers tested, hidepowder was found to give the best results. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were used to study the nature of the reaction; the possibility of accumulation of the analyte onto the electrode was studied by differential pulse voltammetry. An irreversible behavior and the adsorption of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol on the electrode were confirmed. The reduction signal shows two peaks. A linear relationship between the first peak height and the concentration of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol was obtained in the range 0.001–5 mg l⁻¹, with a detection limit of 3.2 μg l⁻¹ and a relative standard deviation of 3.20%. The interferences with the reduction peak of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol of several nitro- and chloro-phenols and inorganic species were tested.

An FTIR spectroscopic study and quantification of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol,piperazine and absorbed carbon dioxide in concentrated aqueous solutions

This study reports the investigation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) absorption into an amine blend solution of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PZ). The reaction in the liquid phase between CO₂ and the amines were qualitatively and quantitatively monitored by Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared spectroscopy (mid-FTIR). A multivariate partial least square regression (PLS2) model was obtained to quantify free or non-reacted AMP and PZ and absorbed CO₂ in all chemical forms, i.e. no differentiation was made into carbonates or carbamates. The calibration model was constructed using a single wide region and 270 calibration samples. The concentration of AMP, PZ and CO₂ from 568 samples were simultaneously predicted with low relative errors.
