Cyanoethylation of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4-thiopyranone isomers and selective reduction of 2,5-dimethyl-5-(β-cyanoethyl)tetrahydro-4-thiopyranone and — 4-pi pe ridone

It has been found that only the cis isomer (liquid) of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4-thiopyranone is cyanoethylated under the usual conditions. 2,5-Dimethyl-5-(-carboxyethyl)tetrahydro-4-thiopyranone was synthesized by the acid hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethyl-5-(-cyanoethyl)-tetrahydro-4-thiopyranone. The selective reduction with aluminum isopropoxide of 2,5-dimethyl-5-(-eyanoethyl) tetrahydro-4-thiopyranone and of the individual isomers of 2,5-dimethyl-5-(-cyanoethyl)-4-piperidone gave the isomeric 2,5-dimethyl-5-(-cyanoethyl)-tetrahydro-4-thiopyranols and -4-piperidols. The reaction of the isomeric 5-cyanoethyl-4-piperidols with allyl bromide gave the corresponding 1-allyl-2,5-dimethyl-5(-cyanoethyl)-4-piperidols.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 12–14, January, 1972.     

Cyanoethylation of some n-substituted 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidones

1,2,5-Trimetnyl- and 1-(-chlorocrotyl)-2,5-dimethyl-5-(-cyanoethyl)-4-piperidones were synthesized and separated into individual isomers. The corresponding isomeric 5-(-carboxyethyl)-4-piperidones were obtained by hydrolysis. The isomeric 1,2,5-trimethyl-3,5-bis(-cyanoethyl)- and 1,2,5-trimethyl-3,3,5-tris(-cyanoethyl)-4-piperidones were synthesized by subsequent cyanoethylation of the individual 1,2,5-trimethyl-5-(-cyanoethyl)-4-piperidone isomers.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 479–481, April, 1971.     

Hetarylethylene derivatives of 2,5-diphenyloxazole

A number of new effective luminophores were synthesized by PO olefination from 2-(4-bromomethylphenyl)-5-phenyloxazole and various heterocyclic aldehydes containing a furan ring. All of the compounds obtained have intense fluorescence in toluene and, depending on the nature of the substituents, the color of the luminescence changes from blue to green. It is shown that chloro, bromo, and methyl substituents have little effect on the spectral-luminescence properties of the compounds obtained, whereas a nitro group causes a decrease in the fluorescence quantum yield.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1616–1618, December, 1977.     

Reaction ofβ,β -dimethyldivinyl ketone with 2,5-dimethyl- and 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidones

1-(3-Oxo-5-methyl-4-hexen-1-yl)-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone, 5-(3-oxo-5-methyl-4-hexen-1-yl)-2, 5-dimethyl-4-piperidone, and 5-(3-oxo-5-methyl-4-hexen-1-yl)-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidone were synthesized. In the absence of a catalyst,-dimethyldivinyl ketone adds to 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone at the 1-position, while in the presence of alkali it adds at the 5-position.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 350–351, March, 1971.     

Synthesis of 2,5-dialkylpyrrolidines by conjugated catalytic hydrogenolysis of furan amines

Conclusions In hydrogenation in the vapor phase on a skeletal nickel-aluminum catalyst at 210–220°, 1-furyl-3-aminoalkanes undergo conjugated hydrogenolysis of the furan series at the 1,5-, 1,5- and 4,5-, as well as 1,5- and 3,4-bonds, forming 2-methyl-, 2-ethyl-, and 2-n-propyl-5-alkylpyrrolidines in yields of 38, 19, and 43%, respectively.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Setiya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1120–1123, June, 1964     

Asymmetric synthesis and absolute configuration of 1-α-phenylethyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone isomers

Reaction of the methyl iodide of trans-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidone with S--phenylethylamine proceeds asymmetrically and leads in 66% optical yield to the formation of the cis- and trans-diastereomeric pair of 1-(-phenylethyl)-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone, in which the new asymmetric centers possess the 2S,5S- and 2S,5R-configurations, respectively. According to x-ray structural analysis, the minor trans-1-(-phenylethyl)-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone component possesses the 2R,5S-configuration. The occurrence of asymmetric synthesis accompanying transamination was confirmed via the preparation of enantiomers of trans-2,5- and trans-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1641–1648, December, 1986.     

Sterically hindered mono- and bis(2,5-diaryloxazoles) containing biphenyl systems

The condensation of hydrochloric salts of -aminomethyl aryl ketones with diphenic anhydride or with the diacid chloride of diphenic acid and subsequent cyclodehydration of the condensation products formed give sterically hindered mono- and bis(2, 5-diaryloxazoles) containing the biphenyl system. The spectroluminescent properties of these compounds were studied. Comparison of the absorption spectra of 2,2-di(5-phenyloxazolyl-2)biphenyl and 2,5-diphenyloxazole indicates the complete lack of conjugation between the diphenyloxazole fragments, their independent behavior, and their retention of the spatial configuration of 2,5-diphenyloxazole. 2,2-Di(5-phenyloxazolyl-2)biphenyl has a large Stokes shift. Steric hindrance is also found in 2-carboxy-2-(5-phenyloxazolyl-2)biphenyl molecules.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 184–188, February, 1985.     

Effect of intermolecular interactions on the formation of mesophases in 3-aryl-7-substituted coumarins,and the crystal structure of 3-(4′-butyl)- and (4′-heptylphenyl)-7-propoxycoumarins

Strong intermolecular interactions in crystalline 3-(4butyl)- and (4–heptylphenyl)-7-propoxycoumarins, resulting in layered packing, prevent the formation of associates with high anisotropy of intermolecular interaction energy (IIE), so that on heating crystals of these homologs do not form a nematic mesophase. The formation of specific stacked associates in the crystal of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-7-nonyloxycoumarin favors the formation of thermomesophases. The observation of interactions responsible for the formation of a mesophase has made it possible to obtain dichroic luminophores, namely, substituted 3-aryl-7-aroyloxycoumarins, which possess a nematic phase over a wide temperature range.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2256–2263, October, 1989.     

The Radical Cations of Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (8,9,10-Trinorborna-2,5-diene) and bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (2,3-Dihydrobarrelene). An ESR and ENDOR study

The radical cation of bicyclo[2-2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (8,9,10-trinorborna-2,5-diene; 1 ) in CF₂ClCFCl₂, and CF₃CCl₃ matrices and that of bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (2,3-dihydrobarrelene; 2 ) in CFCl₃ and CF₃CCl₃ matrices have been studied by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy. For ${\bf 1}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$, the coupling constants of the olefinic, methano-bridge, and bridgehead protons are ?0.780 ±0.005, +0.304±0.002, and ?0.049±0.002 mT, respectively. The hyperfine tensor for the methano-bridge protons is axial, A_x = +0.263 ± 0.002 and A_y = +0.386 ± 0.002 mT, while that for the olefinic protons is orthorhombic, A_x = ?0.594 ± 0.005, A_y= ?0.913 ± 0.005, and A_z = ?0.834 ± 0.005 mT (x parallel to C? H- z parallel to 2p_π axis). For ${\bf 2}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$, the coupling constants of the olefinic, ethano-bridge, and bridgehead protons are ?0.68 ± 0.01, +0.162 ± 0.005, and ?0.108 ± 0.005 mT, respectively. The hyperfine data for ${\bf 1}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$ and ${\bf 2}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$ fully support the presentation of their singly occupied orbitals as antisymmetric combinations, b₂(π), of the two bonding ethene π-MO's.     

Immobilized 2-(4-hydrazinocarbonylphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazole as solid phase luminophore in peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence

A new luminophore for application in peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence is presented. An analogue of the well-known chemiluminescence compound lophine, i.e. 2-(4-hydrazinocarbonylphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazole (HCPI), has been covalently immobilized to controlled pore glass and a porous methacrylate resin. By using this reagent in a solid phase detection reactor, sensitive determinations of hydrogen peroxide have been demonstrated. In homogeneous solution HCPI emits poorly as a result of 1,1-oxalyldiimidazole excitation, but when immobilized its efficiency is almost comparable to highly efficient luminophores such as 3-aminofluoranthene. Linearity extends in the single stream flow system over several orders of magnitude with both materials. The limit of detection was 1 nmol/l (10 fmole injected), when using the porous methacrylate support.     

Synthesis and spectral-luminescence properties of 2,5-diaryloxazoles that contain a difluoromethylsulfonyl group

A number of 2-(4-difluoromethylsulfonylphenyl)-5-aryloxazoles were synthesized by condensation of 4-difluoromethylsulfonylbenzoyl chloride with -aminomethyl aryl ketones and subsequent cyclodehydration of the resulting amides in sulfuric acid. The spectral-luminescence properties of these products were investigated. The introduction of a difluoromethylsulfonyl group in the 2-phenyl ring of 2,5-diphenyloxazole leads to significant bathochromic and bathofluoric effects and an increase in the quantum yields and photostabilities of the compounds obtained. Complication of the structure of the 5-phenyl ring is accompanied by a further long-wave shift of the absorption and fluorescence spectra without substantial changes in the fluorescence quantum yields. A positive solvatochromism effect is displayed distinctly in the fluorescence spectra of the compounds obtained on passing to polar solvents; this effect increases markedly as the polarity of the solvent increases.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1042–1046, August, 1982.     

Synthesis of pyrrolopyrimidines from 2,5-diaryl-3,3,4,4-tetracyanopyrrolidines

Feasibility has been demonstrated for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidines by the reaction of 2,5-diaryl-3,3,4,4-tetracyanopyrrolidines I with -dicarbonyl compounds, which was carried out by the rearrangement of I to give 2-(N-arylidenamino)-5-aryl-3,4-dicaynopyrroles II. A different pathway was found for the reaction of pyrroles II with -diketones and ethyl acetoacetate. The existence of a latento-enaminonitrile fragment in these compounds permits their conversion to pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.I. N. Ul'yanov Chubash State University, 428015 Cheboksary, Russia.

Emission from the working and counter electrodes under co-reactant electrochemiluminescence conditions

We present a new approach to explore the potential-dependent multi-colour co-reactant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from multiple luminophores. The potentials at both the working and counter electrodes, the current between these electrodes, and the emission over cyclic voltammetric scans were simultaneously measured for the ECL reaction of Ir(ppy)₃ and either [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ or [Ir(df-ppy)₂(ptb)]⁺, with tri-n-propylamine as the co-reactant. The counter electrode potential was monitored by adding a differential electrometer module to the potentiostat. Plotting the data against the applied working electrode potential and against time provided complementary depictions of their relationships. Photographs of the ECL at the surface of the two electrodes were taken to confirm the source of the emissions. This provided a new understanding of these multifaceted ECL systems, including the nature of the counter electrode potential and the possibility of eliciting ECL at this electrode, a mechanism-based rationalisation of the interactions of different metal-complex luminophores, and a previously unknown ECL pathway for the Ir(ppy)₃ complex at negative potentials that was observed even in the absence of the co-reactant.

Exploration of potential-dependent, multi-colour co-reactant electrochemiluminescence from multiple luminophores at the working and counter electrodes reveals new pathways to emission.     

X-ray diffraction investigation of perfluoro-4-methylenecyclohexa-2,5-dienones

Perfluorinated 8-phenyl-7,8-diethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,4,6-trien-3-one (3), 2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-1,1-diethylbenzocyclobutene (4) and 2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-5-(2-phenyl-cis-1,2-diethylbenzocyclobuten-1-yloxy)-1,1-diethylbenzocyclobutene (5), including the 4-methylencyclohexa-2,5-dienone fragment, were prepared by the reaction of perfluoro-1,1-(1) and-1,2-diethylbenzocyclobutene (2) with pentafluorobenzene in SbF₅. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study of compounds 3–5 revealed that the oxygen atom of the C=O group participated in the formation of supramolecular architectures in all three compounds, and C=O…π bonding may be considered as the corresponding synthon (with increased separation in the case of compound 5). C-F…π bonding acts as a second synthon. F…F interactions in crystals 3–5 were classified as stabilizing or enforced.     

Total chemical synthesis of 2-ethenyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine and 3-ethenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine

The aroma compounds 2-ethenyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine 1 and 3-ethenyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine 2 were synthesized via a new chemical route. The key steps of the synthesis involve cyclocondenzation of 1-[bicyclo[2.2.1]5-hepten-2-yl]-1,2-propanedione and 1,2-propanediamine, aromatization of the resulting 5,6-dihydropyrazines, and subsequent Retro-Diels-Alder reaction to generate pyrazines 1 and 2. Pyrazine 1, a powerful odorant, was obtained in large excess (8:2) when endo-1-[bicyclo[2.2.1]5-hepten-2-yl]-1,2-propanedione was used as intermediate substrate.     

Structure of 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxypyridines

On the basis of an analysis of the UV and IR spectra, it was established that 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxypyridines exist in different forms in neutral, acid, and alkaline media. The electronic absorption spectra of the neutral forms of the molecules and the distribution of the -electron charges in them were calculated by means of the Pariser—Parr—Pople (PPP) MO method. A comparison of the results of the calculations with the experimental UV spectroscopic data demonstrated that the calculations correctly predict the number of ^* absorption bands in the accessible region of the UV spectra and their positions and relative intensities.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 60–63, January, 1973.

Stereochemistry of nitrogen heterocycles. 68. Stereochemistry of 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone, 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidol,and their N-benzoyl derivatives

The isomers of 1-benzoyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone were obtained and equilibrated (89.8% cis 10.2% trans isomer, preferred conformations 2a, 5e, and 2a, 5a). The position of the equilibrium between the isomers of 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone was determined by two independent methods (89.5% trans 10.5% cis isomer). The differences in the free energies of the isomers, the conformational energy of the -CH₃ group, and the energy of syn-axial 1,3-interaction between the CH and the unshared electron pair were calculated; the decrease in the conformational energy of the -methyl group in the series of piperidine (1.6), 4-piperidone (1.47), and N-acyl-4-piperidone (1.28 kcal/mole) was explained by the successive weakening of the repulsive interaction between the -CH₃ group and the n-pair of the nitrogen as a result of the flattening of the ring and of the conjugation between the free electron pair of the nitrogen and the electrons of the acyl carbonyl group. The last previously unknown fourth isomer of 2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidol, which exists in the 2e,4a,5a conformation, was obtained by the reduction of cis-1-benzoyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-piperidone followed by debenzoylation. In contrast to the secondary amine, its N-benzoyl- and N-benzyl-substituted derivatives exist in the alternative 2a,4e,5e conformation. The configurations and conformations of the isomers were determined by means of the IR and NMR spectra.For Communication 67, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 953–961, July, 1989.
