Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of substituted benzaldehydes by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate

Kinetics of oxidation of substituted benzaldehydes by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate (DMAPCC) in protic solvent system has been studied at 303 K. The product of oxidation has been identified as benzoic acid. A unit order dependence of the reaction with respect [DMAPCC] and [benzaldehyde] has been observed. The reaction has been found to be catalysed by H⁺ ions. Decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rate. To study the effect of structure reactivity relationships some para-substituted benzaldehydes were subjected to oxidation kinetics by DMAPCC at four different temperatures and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The isokinetic plot and Exner plot shows that all the para-substituted benzaldehydes are oxidised by the same mechanism. The Hammett plot is linear with positive ρ value. From the observed kinetic results a suitable mechanism was proposed.     

Liquid crystalline properties and photochromism of N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-methoxy and -ethoxy anilines

New homologous series of N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-methoxy and -ethoxyanilines were synthesized. The phase transitions of these homologues were determined using differential scanning calorimetry and an polarizing microscopy: para-substituted homologues exhibit a nematic phase, while ortho-substituted members do show no mesomorphic phase. In addition, some members of these homologous series exhibit a photochromic property in the solid state.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Series of 1-((4-Methyl-2-Substituted Thiazol-5-yl)Methyleneam INO)-2-Substituted Isothiourea Derivatives

A novel series of 1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methyleneamino)-2-substituted isothiourea derivatives was synthesized by alkylation of (Z/E)-1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide with alkylhalide in acetone. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectrometry) methods. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity. Most of the compounds show moderate to excellent antimicrobial activity.

Synthesis and spectroscopic properties for six 7,16-dibenzoylated tetraaza[14]annulene nickel(II) complexes

The condensation reaction between tetraaza[14]annulene nickel(II) complex and a series of para-substituted benzoyl chlorides gave the corresponding 7,16-dibenzoylated products in 53–98% yields. The mass spectra exhibit molecular ion peaks ascribed to the 7,16-dibenzoylated products. The intense ir band due to the C?O stretching mode in these nickel(II) complexes is present in the 1650–1658 cm^?1 range upon the benzoylation. Even though the ligand moiety of these six complexes is changed by benzoylation, the electronic spectra hardly vary. These nickel(II) complexes assume roughly the square-planar coordinations as judged by the ligand-field transition bands. The olefinic proton peaks at the 7- and 16-positions vanish on benzoylation in the proton nmr spectra and the proton signals of the para-substituted benzoyl groups are observed in the 2.4–8.4 ppm region. The results of the carbon-13 nmr spectra are compatible with those for the proton nmr spectra.     

Nucleotides,Part LXIII,New 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)ethyl(Npe)- and 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl(Npeoc)-Protected 2′-Deoxyribonucleosides and Their 3′-Phosphoramidites – Versatile Building Blocks for Oligonucleotide Synthesis

A series of new base-protected and 5′-O-(4-monomethoxytrityl)- or 5′-O-(4,4′-dimethoxytrityl)-substituted 3′-(2-cyanoethyl diisopropylphosphoramidites) and 3′-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl diisopropylphosphoramidites] 52 – 66 and 67 – 82 , respectively, are prepared as potential building blocks for oligonucleotide synthesis (see Scheme). Thus, 3′,5′-di-O-acyl- and N ²,3′-O,5′-O-triacyl-2′-deoxyguanosines can easily be converted into the corresponding O⁶-alkyl derivatives 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , and 16 by a Mitsunobu reaction using the appropriate alcohol. Mild hydrolysis removes the acyl groups from the sugar moiety (→ 9 , 11 , 13 , 15 , and 19 (via 18 ), resp.) which can then be tritylated (→ 38 – 42 ) and phosphitylated (→ 57 – 61 ) in the usual manner. N ²-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]-substituted and N ²-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]-O⁶-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-substituted 2′-deoxyguanosines 5 and 7 , respectively, are synthesized as new starting materials for tritylation (→ 28 , 35 , and 37 ) and phosphitylation (→ 54 , 56 , 70 , and 78 ). Various O⁴-alkylthymidines (see 20 – 24 ) are also converted to their 5′-O-dimethoxytrityl derivatives (see 43 – 47) and the corresponding phosphoramidites (see 62 – 66 and 79 – 82 ).     

Linear free energy ortho-correlations in the thiophene series. Part IX . Kinetics of esterification with diazodiphenylmethane of some 3-, 4-, and 5-substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids in methanol

The rate constants for the esterification of some 3-, 4-, and 5-substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in methanol at 25° have been measured. The reactivity of some para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids has also been determined. Logarithmic kinetic constants for ortho-, meta-, and para-like substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids furnish an excellent linear free energy relationship when plotted versus Δpk_a (β 0.89, r 0.989, C.L. > 99.9%, n 18, i 0.04), thus confirming the peculiar behaviour of five-membered ring derivatives. The correlation with σ^H values offers an additional proof of the hyper-ortho character of the 2,3-relation in thiophene derivatives. para- and ortho-Substituted benzoic acids show the usual behaviour of six-membered ring derivatives.     

σ-Correlations and steric effects

Carbon-1 shifts in 1-dimethylimino-3-dimethylamino-1-(4-substituted)phenylprop-2-ene perchlorates show high correlation and negative dependence v. a σ set having high f character, similar to α and carbonyl carbon shifts in 4-substituted styrenes and N,N-dimethylbezamides, respectively. In sharp contrast with the β-carbons of the styrenes and the ¹⁵N absorptions of benzamides, whose shifts show high positive correlations with specific ratios of f and R characters, the C-2 shifts remain invariant. In the correlation of the barriers about the N-CO bond in N,N-dimethylbenzamides v. f/R, the R effect has been reported to increase dramatically for the meta-series when values determined in acetonitrile are exchanged with those determined in chloroform and, in the para series, to be higher than (normal) in both solvents. α-Carbon shifts in tris-para-substituted triphenylcarbonium ions correlate with a σ set having exceptionally high R character (c. 98 %). Explanations, based mainly on the likely action of steric factors, are suggested.     

Carbon-13 NMR study of substituted benzyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates

The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of m- and p-substituted benzyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates were measured in CDCl₃. The meta and para ¹³C substituent chemical shifts were analysed by means of dual substituent parameter (DSP) equations. Good correlations were obtained, especially for the para-carbon substituent chemical shifts. The computed transmission coefficients, ρ_I and ρ_R, are consistent with the general features of the fitting parameters. It has been shown that no significant electron demand is imposed by the ? CH₂OCON(CH₃)₂ substituent.     

Stoichiometric Aldehyde Deformylation Mediated by Nucleophilic Peroxo-diiron(III) Complex as a Functional Model of Aldehyde Deformylating Oxygenase

The reactivity of the previously reported peroxo adduct [Fe^III₂(μ-O₂)(MeBzim-Py)₄(CH₃CN)₂]⁴⁺ ( 1 ) (MeBzim-Py=2-(2′-pyridyl)-N-methylbenzimidazole) towards aldehyde substrates including phenylacetaldehyde (PAA), hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCA), propionaldehyde (PA), 2-phenylpropionaldehyde (PPA), cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (CCA), and para-substituted benzaldehydes (benzoyl chlorides) has been investigated. Complex 1 proved to be a nucleophilic oxidant in aldehyde deformylation reaction. These models, including detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies, may serve as the first biomimics of aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) enzymes.     

Ring-Transformationen bei der Umsetzung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit 1-substituierten Imidazolidin-2,4,5-trionen

Ring-Transformations in the Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirines with 1-Substituted Imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones Reaction of 1-substituted imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones ( = N-substituted parabanic acids; 2 ) and 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1 ) in i-PrOH or MeCN at room temperature yields 5,6,7,7a-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[3,4-a]imidazole-5,7-diones 3 (Scheme 1). By ¹⁵N-NMR studies, using (3-¹⁵N)- 2a , it has been shown that only N( 1 ) in (¹⁵N)- 3a is labelled and, hence, N(4) stems from 1 , e.g. the azirine reacts via cleavage of the N(1)=C(3) bond. In MeCN at room temperature, the azacyclols 3 rearrange slowly to give monocyclic 2H, 5H-imidazol-2-ones 4 (Scheme 3); the ¹⁵N-label in (¹⁵N)- 4a is in position 1. Both reactions proceed via deep-seated skeletal rearrangements, most probably via ring-expansion/ring-contraction processes.     

1H, 13C and 77Se NMR spectra of substituted selenoanisoles

The ¹H, ¹³C and ⁷⁷Se chemical shifts and the ¹J[C(Me)H(Me)], ^1.2J(SeC) and ²J(SeH) coupling constants in 14 para- or meta-substituted selenoanisoles, R? C₆H₄? Se? CH₃, have been measured and the dependence of these parameters on the electronic effects of the substituent R is discussed. A significant (up to 6 ppm) deviation from additivity of the substituent influence on the shielding of the ¹³C ring carbons has been found.     

Synthesis and properties of substituted [3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]acetonitriles

Alkylation of 3-substituted 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles with chloroacetonitrile gave hitherto unknown N-cyanomethyl derivatives whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Condensation of substituted [3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]acetonitriles at the activated methylene group with acetone led to the formation of new 3-methyl-2-triazolylbut-2-enenitrile derivatives.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 6,7-dimethoxy-1-[(ortho; and para-R)-phenyl]-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline

The preparation of eleven novel 6,7-dimethoxy-1-[(ortho, and para-R)-phenyl]-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with possible pharmacological activity is described. The structure of all products was corroborated by ir, ¹H-nmr, ¹³C-nmr, and ms.     

Thermal degradation of poly(4-chloromethyl-α-acetoxystyrene) and poly(4-chloropropyl-α-acetoxystyrene)

The thermal degradation behaviour of two poly(4-ω-chloroalkyl-α-acetoxystyrene)s has been studied by means of dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The results show that two reactions occur during the first stage of the process. An elimination reaction gives acetic acid as major volatile species and a residue formed of para-substituted polyphenylacetylenes. A depolymerization reaction gives principally the para-substituted acetophenone corresponding to the starting monomer, and explains the low molecular weights of the residues. These two reactions are simultaneous in the case of poly(4-chloromethyl-α-acetoxystyrene), but are distinguishable in the case of poly(4-3-chloropropyl-α-acetoxystyrene). Kinetic parameters of the overall decomposition of these two polymers have been calculated and compared with those of poly(4-2-chloroethyl-α-acetoxystyrene).     

Spectroscopic studies on N,N-dimethylamides—III Amide-rotational barriers of N,N-dimethylbenzamides and -cinnamamides. A comparison of the NMR intensity ratio- and iterative total line shape method

Amide-rotational barriers of a series of para-substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides and -cinnamamides have been obtained by both the intensity ratio method, according to Rogers and Woodbrey,² and an iterative total line shape analysis. From a comparison of the results, it is concluded that a discussion of rotational barriers obtained with the intensity ratio method should preferably be based on ΔG values, which are nearly equal for both methods, rather than on ΔG^? at other temperatures.     

13C NMR spectra of p- and m-substituted phenyl N-methyl- and phenyl N,N-dimethyl-carbamates

¹³C NMR spectra of p- and m-substituted phenyl N-methylcarbamates, phenyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates and p- and m-substituted phenyl propionates were recorded, and their para ¹³C SCS (substituent chemical shifts) were analysed by DSP (dual substituent parameters) and DSP-NLR (non-linear resonance) equations. It was found that the fixed substituent Y, ? OCONHCH₃, ? OCON(CH₃)₂ and ? OCOC₂H₅, were all mild in the sense that DSP analysis gave a good correlation, leaving little room for improvement by the DSP-NLR treatment. Further, the three series of compounds gave similar ρ_I and ρ_R values (para derivatives, 3.2–3.3 and 17.7–18.0; meta derivatives, 5.1–5.2 and 21.8–22.0). Examination of the corresponding analyses of similar compounds indicated that the ρ_I and ρ_R values and, hence, their ratio ρ_R/ρ_R = λ, depended primarily on the nature of the atom through which the fixed substituent Y (e.g. α-C, α-N and α-O) was bonded to the aromatic ring when the Y substituents are mild. The extent of this tendency for compounds with active fixed substituents is also discussed.
