Acetals of lactams and acid amides. 60. Novel approach to the synthesis of γ-carbolines

N-Alkylation of 2-methyl-5-nitroindole followed by the Vilsmeyer reaction has given some 2-methyl-3-formyl-5-nitro-N-alkylindoles, which on reaction with DMF diethyl acetal afford 2-(-dimethylamino)vinylindoles. Heating the latter with ammonia provided a novel synthesis of -carbolines. Condensation of 1,2-dimethyl-3-formyl-5-nitroindole with dimethylacetamide diethyl acetal gave 2-dimethylamino-6-nitro-9-methylcarbazole.For Communication 59, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1483–1486, November, 1990.

Synthesis of 1-β-D-ribopyranosyl- and ribofuranosyl-6-nitroindole and indoline for the phosphotriester oligonucleotide synthesis

The glycosylation reaction of 6-nitroindoline with 5-tritylribose led to the synthesis of the 1--D-ribofuranoside and 1--D-ribopyranoside of 6-nitroindoline, the dehydrogenation of which resulted in the isolation of the corresponding 1--D-ribopyranoside and 1--D-ribofuranoside of 6-nitroindole; the last with protecting groups are suitable for utilization in oligonucleotide synthesis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1500–1506, November, 1990.     

Reaction of Β-arylacryloxiranes with phenyl azide. Synthesis and chemical transformations of Β-phenylamino-Β-arylacrylyloxiranes

The reaction of -arylacrylyloxiranes with phenyl azide by refluxing in dioxane or toluene leads to -phenylamino--aryl-acrylyloxiranes. Epoxypropionyl- and -hydroxypropionyltriazoles are also isolated when the reaction is carried out in the dark without heating. It is shown that -phenylamino--arylacrylyloxiranes undergo cyclization to 3(2H)-furanones in an acidic medium, whereas they are converted to 2,3-dihydro-4-pyridones under basic-catalysis conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedineii, No. 8, pp. 1022–1027, August, 1988.     

Study of the rotational isomerism about the C-O bond in six-membered secondary-tertiary diols

We have determined the spectroscopic characteristics, the dipole moments, and the Kerr constants of the stereoisomers of the secondary-tertiary diols of the cyclohexane and bicyclo [4.1.0]pentane series: 3,4-dihydroxy-3-carane (I), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (II), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (III), 4, 5-dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexene (IV), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-carane (V), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (VI), 3, 4-dihydroxy-3-carane (VII), and 3,4-dihydroxy-4-methyl-3-carane (VIII). It was found that the cis diols are more polar than their trans isomers. It was shown by electrical and electrooptical methods that rotamers with a gauche orientation with respect to the tertiary C-O are stable relative to those containing the diol at the ordinary C-C bond of the ring.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 619–625, March, 1991.     

Isomer conversions in perfluoro-1-ethylindane under the action of antimony pentafluoride

Perfluoro-1-ethylindane on heating with SbF₅ is isomerized to perfluoro-1,1-dimethylindane, perfluoro-,-o-trimethylstyrene, and perfluoro-1,2-dimethylindane. In the presence of SbF₅, the latter two products are converted one into the other. In addition, in SbF₅ perfluoro-1,2-dimethylindane is defluorinated to perfluoro-2,3-dimethylindene and fluorinated to perfluoro-2,3-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindene which is further fluorinated to perfluoro-1,2-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindane and is converted at 200C to perfluoro-1,7-dimethylindane. The latter is also formed on heating perfluoro-,-o-trimethylstyrene with SbF₅ at 200C.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 645–652, March, 1990.     

Crystallization,melting and spherulitic structure of Β-nucleated random propylene copolymers

The characteristics of crystallization, melting and spherulitic growth of a random propylene copolymer (PRC) containing small amount of ethylene were studied in the presence of a selective -nucleating agent (calcium pimelate). It was established that the products of isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization are very rich in -modification but have mixed polymorphic composition. The formation of -modification may be attributed to -transition on the surface of growing -spherulites resulting in -twin-spherulites. During melting of PRC of -modification, the characteristics observed with -nucleated propylene homopolymers, namely, a -recrystallization of recooled samples and separated melting of non-recooled samples (i.e. the melting memory effect), as well as a -recrystallization leading to a perfection of the structure within the -modification, are also demonstrated. The disturbance of regularity of the polymer chain highly reduces the tendency to -crystallization. In contrast to the observations with propylene homopolymers, the growth rate of -modification (G ) is higher than that of -modification (G ) and no critical crossover temperature can be found (T()=413 K) below whichG >G . The experimental results show that a partial disturbance of chain regularity by incorporation of comonomer units considerably reduces the tendency to -crystallization.This research was supported by the National Scientific Research Fund (OTKA), the author is grateful for it. Thanks are due to Professor Géza Bodor for his help in X-ray diffractometric investigations and to Ms. Tünde Lócska for her prudential technical assistance in the optical experiments.

It has been shown that pyrazoles (hydroxypyrazoles) are formed upon reaction of fluorine-containing copper -diketonates (-ketoesterates) with hydrazines and their hydrochlorides.

Influence of conjugated nitrogenous bases on the spectra and structure of mixed-ligand nickel(II) chelates containing β-diones

The infrared and electronic excitation spectra of a series of new nickel(II) chelates containing an-diimine (or nitrogenous base, enR) and the anion of a-dione (1,3-ketoenol or 1,3-ketoester,H) were obtained in the solid state and in solution. The composition and the overall structure of the new chelates in the solid state depends on ligand concentration, the substituents within the-dionato moiety and the counterion present. The IR and electronic excitation spectra of [Ni(enR)₂ ]NO₃ and [Ni(enR)(O₂NO)] indicate, in conjunction with other physicochemical measurements, bidentate coordination of the ligands, while the spectral shifts reveal replacement of the (O,O)nitrato group by basic solvents. The existence of the nickel(II) in an octahedral environment is confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis of [Ni(dpamH)₂acac]NO₃ · CH₃OH (monoclinic, space groupP2_l/n, a=17.296(1),b=7.462(1),c=21.604(3) å,=95.65(1),Z=4, R=0.0534,Rw=0.0600), where dpamH denotes the 2,2-dipyridylamine.

Β-Chloro-Β-ferrocenylacrylaldehyde and its application in the synthesis of pyrylium and pyridine derivatives of ferrocene

-Chloro--ferrocenylacrylaldehyde, to which an s-cis configuration was assigned on the basis of the PMR spectral data, was synthesized from acetylferrocene by the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. 2, 3, 6-Trisubstituted pyrylium salts with a ferrocenyl substituent in the 6 position were obtained by condensation of this aldehyde with -dicarbonyl compounds. The pyrylium salts were converted to the corresponding pyridines by the action of ammonium acetate in acetic acid. On the basis of the structures of the pyridines it was established that the aldehyde carbon atom initially attacks the -dicarbonyl compound with subsequent closing of the -unsubstituted pyrylium ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 599–602, May, 1977.
