By the reaction of 4-nitro-1,2 phenylenediamine with 1-(p-R-phenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)propenones, Michael adducts with a 1:2 composition have been obtained. A stagewise scheme is proposed for the formation of these compounds. The structure of one of the products has been established by means of x-ray structure analysis.Deceased     

(NH 4 )Zn 2 (PO 4 )(HPO 4 ): Hydrothermal Synthesis and Reaction with n-Alkylamine Vapours

(NH₄)Zn₂(PO₄)(HPO₄) was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions in the presence of urea. The reaction with n-alkylamines has been investigated by exposing the solid to amines vapor. The new materials were characterized by chemical and thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and IR spectroscopy. In addition, the simultaneous reaction of this compound with two or more n-alkylamine different molecules was investigated. The reaction of large n-alkylamine molecules was observed to be faster if there is a shorter alkyl chain amine acting as a catalyst, yielding on completion single amine materials. In the case of a vapor mixture of several amines, the compound obtained depends on the reaction time.     

Synthesis of Derivatives of (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)acetic and (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)propionic Acids

An efficient synthesis has been developed for derivatives of (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic and (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)propionic acids by the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with methyl methacrylate, the amide of methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, ethyl bromoacetate, and ethyl acrylate. The hydrolysis of the resultant intermediates by (quinolylthio)acetic and (quinolylthio)propionic acids gave the corresponding acid products, which are also formed in the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with chloroacetic and acrylic acids. The reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with allyl bromide was studied. The potassium permanganate oxidation of the resultant 2-allylthio-4-methylquinoline led to (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic acid.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 403–406, April, 2005.     

1-(1-Carboxy-2-R-4-methylcyclohex-4-enyl)carbonyl- and 1-(2-R-4-Methylcyclohex-4-enyl)carbonyl-3,5-dimethyl(diphenyl)pyrazoles

1-(1-Carboxy-2-R-4-methylcyclohex-4-enyl)carbonyl- and 1-(2-R-4-methylcyclohex-4-enyl)carbonyl-3,5-dimethyl(diphenyl)pyrazoles have been obtained from the reaction of monohydrazides of 2-R-methyl-4-cyclohexen-1,1-dicarboxylic acids and hydrazides of 2-R-4-methyl-4-cyclohexen-1-monocarboxylic acids with acetylacetone and dibenzoylmethane. The conditions for the formation of the pyrazoles depend on the nature of the substituents in the hydrazide starting materials and the structure of the 1,3-diketone used.     

Electrospray ionization in the study of the polycondensation of Ti(O-i-C3H7)4 and Ti(O-n-C4H9)4

The polycondensation of Ti(O-i-C3H7)4 (1) and Ti(O-n-C4H9)4 (2), precursors widely employed in sol-gel processes, has been investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. By analysis of 10(-6) M methanol solutions of compounds 1 and 2, the same ionic species are detected, proving that the first step in the polycondensation reaction is the i-propyl (or n-butyl) alcohol-methanol complete exchange. This reaction leads to the Ti(OCH3)4 (3) species, representing the synthon of the polycondensation. Various oligomers of 3 have been detected and characterized by MS/MS experiments, and the related mechanisms have been discussed. A minor oligomeric series due to hydroxyl-containing polycondensation products has also been characterized.     

Highly efficient approach to orthogonally protected (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyornithine

[reaction: see text] A concise stereoselective approach to both orthogonally protected (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyornithine, key constituents of the biphenomycin- and clavalanine-type antibiotics, respectively, has been developed. The approach is based on bis(oxazoline) copper(II)-complex-catalyzed diastereoselective Henry reactions of nitromethane with the homoserine-derived aldehyde 6. The synthesis of this versatile chiral building block has been markedly improved.     

Heterobimetallic Bi(III)-Ti(IV) coordination complexes: synthesis and solid-state structures of BiTi4(sal)6(mu-OiPr)3(OiPr)4, and the cyclic isomers Bi4Ti4(sal)10(mu-OiPr)4(OiPr)4 and Bi8Ti8(sal)20(mu-OiPr)8(OiPr)8

The reaction of a 1:2 mixture of bismuth(III) salicylate with titanium(IV) isopropoxide in refluxing toluene has been investigated and found to proceed with ligand exchange to produce the new heterobimetallic complexes BiTi(4)(sal)(6)(mu-O(i)Pr)(3)(O(i)Pr)(4) (1), Bi(4)Ti(4)(sal)(10)(mu-O(i)Pr)(4)(O(i)Pr)(4) (2), and Bi(8)Ti(8)(sal)(20)(mu-O(i)Pr)(8)(O(i)Pr)(8) (3). Complex 1 is the major product, while 2 and 3 were identified as minor products from the reaction. Compound 1 is produced pure and in high yield by employing stoichiometric amounts of reagents; its crystal structure consists of a [Ti(4)(sal)(6)(O(i)Pr)(7)](3)(-) ion capped by a Bi(3+) ion. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibit cyclic ring structures of bismuth and titanium atoms showing crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. Both structures occlude large quantities of lattice solvent. The compositional and structural parameters from the single crystal studies indicate that complexes 2 and 3 may represent sequential steps in a ligand exchange process between the two metal species, while the reactivity patterns that were observed provide clues about the solution state structure of bismuth(III) salicylate itself. The 2D COSY (1)H NMR spectrum of 1 indicates retention of the asymmetric structure in solution as evidenced by the presence of 14 diastereotopic isopropoxide methyl resonances.     

Electron attachment to Ni(PF(3))(4) and Pt(PF(3))(4)

An experimental study has been made of thermal electron attachment to the transition-metal trifluorophosphine complexes Ni(PF(3))(4) and Pt(PF(3))(4) using a flowing-afterglow Langmuir-probe apparatus. Both complexes are efficient at electron attachment, although the rate constants are somewhat less than collisional. The rate constant for electron attachment to Ni(PF(3))(4) is 1.9 x 10(-7) cm(3) s(-1) at room temperature, about a factor of 2 less than collisional. The activation energy is 39+/-5 meV for the attachment reaction. The rate constant for electron attachment to Pt(PF(3))(4) is 5.4 x 10(-8) cm(3) s(-1) at room temperature, and the activation energy is 84+/-8 meV. For both complexes, a PF(3) ligand is lost on electron attachment, and only the M(PF(3))(3)(-) ion is observed in the negative-ion mass spectrum. Density functional calculations were carried out on Ni(PF(3))(4) and various fragments in order to describe the thermochemistry of the attachment reaction.     

A DFT study of SiH(4) activation by Cp(2)LnH

A theoretical study of SiH(4) activation by Cp(2)LnH complexes for the entire series of lanthanides has been carried out at the DFT-B3PW91 level of theory. The reaction paths corresponding to H/H exchange and silylation, formation of Cp(2)Ln(SiH(3)), have been computed. They both occur via a single-step sigma-bond metathesis mechanism. For the athermal H/H exchange reaction, the calculated activation barrier averages 1.8 kcal.mol(-)(1) relative to the precursor adduct Cp(2)LnH(eta(2)-SiH(4)) for all lanthanide elements. The silylation path is slightly exogenic (DeltaE approximately -6.5 kcal.mol(-1)) with an activation barrier averaging 5.2 kcal.mol(-1) relative to the precursor adduct where SiH(4) is bonded by two Si-H bonds. Both pathways are therefore thermally accessible. The H/H exchange path is calculated to be kinetically more favorable whereas the silylation reaction is thermodynamically preferred. The reactivity of this familly of lanthanide complexes with SiH(4) contrasts strongly with that obtained previously with CH(4). The considerably lower activation barrier for silylation relative to methylation is attributed to the ability of Si to become hypervalent.     

Sulfated polyborate catalyzed expeditious and efficient three-component synthesis of 3-methyl-4-(hetero)arylmethylene isoxazole-5(4H)-ones

A rapid and highly efficient methodology for the synthesis of 3-methyl-4-(hetero)arylmethylene isoxazole-5(4H)-ones has been developed using sulfated polyborate as a catalyst. The multicomponent reaction of an aromatic/heterocyclic aldehyde, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and ethyl acetoacetate under a solvent free condition at 80 °C is described. This protocol has promising features for the reaction response such as shorter reaction time, easy work-up, ease of separation of pure product with high yields and simplicity in the experimental procedure. The products have been obtained in high yields (80–90%) and convenient reaction time (15–30 min). The method is operationally simple and eco-friendly.

Reaction of 4-methylene-5(4H)-oxazolones with diazomethane

The reaction of diazomethane with some (E) and (Z)-2-substituted-4-methylene-5(4)-oxazolones ( 1a-c ) under two different conditions, has been studied. (E) and (Z)-1,2-disubstituted-7-oxo-6-oxa-4-azaspiro[2.4]-hept-4-enes ( 3a-c, 4a-c ) were mainly obtained, together with multiple addition compounds. The reaction showed to be stereoselective only when the substituents were aromatic. Acid hydrolysis of compounds 3a and 4a produced a mixture of (E) and (Z)-3,5-disubstituted-tetrahydrofuran-2-ones ( 8a, 9a ). Smooth methanolysis of the ring led to (E) and (Z)-1-benzamido-cyclopropanecarboxylic esters ( 10a-c, 11a-c ), which, on acid hydrolysis, gave (E) and (Z)-1-amino-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids 12a and 13a . The pmr spectra have been analyzed by an iterative computer method, and the computed best values obtained have been used to deduce the stereochemistry of the spiroderivatives.     

Water oxidation catalyzed by the tetranuclear Mn complex [Mn(IV)4O5(terpy)4(H2O)2](ClO4)6

The tetranuclear manganese complex [Mn(IV)(4)O(5)(terpy)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(6) (1; terpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) gives catalytic water oxidation in aqueous solution, as determined by electrochemistry and GC-MS. Complex 1 also exhibits catalytic water oxidation when adsorbed on kaolin clay, with Ce(IV) as the primary oxidant. The redox intermediates of complex 1 adsorbed on kaolin clay upon addition of Ce(IV) have been characterized by using diffuse reflectance UV/visible and EPR spectroscopy. One of the products in the reaction on kaolin clay is Mn(III), as determined by parallel-mode EPR spectroscopic studies. When 1 is oxidized in aqueous solution with Ce(IV), the reaction intermediates are unstable and decompose to form Mn(II), detected by EPR spectroscopy, and MnO(2). DFT calculations show that the oxygen in the mono-μ-oxo bridge, rather than Mn(IV), is oxidized after an electron is removed from the Mn(IV,IV,IV,IV) tetramer. On the basis of the calculations, the formation of O(2) is proposed to occur by reaction of water with an electrophilic manganese-bound oxyl radical species, (?)O-Mn(2)(IV/IV), produced during the oxidation of the tetramer. This study demonstrates that [Mn(IV)(4)O(5)(terpy)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(6) may be relevant for understanding the role of the Mn tetramer in photosystem II.     

Selective oxidation of poly(4-methylstyrene)

A range of new functional copolymers bearing aldehyde and carboxylic acid groups have been prepared by functionalization of poly(4-methylstyrene). These polymers have molecular weights from 2,000 to 16,500 and contain up to 20% aldehyde and up to 90% carboxylic acid groups. The reaction proceeds by selective catalytic oxidations with molecular oxygen or air in acetic acid/organic cosolvent mixtures in presence of cobalt acetate and sodium bromide or hydrogen bromide. The effects of reaction temperature, catalyst, co-solvents and oxygen partial pressure on the reaction are described. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Metal exchange reaction between Mg(II) and Cd(II) octa(4-bromophenyl)tetraazaporphyrinates with manganese(II) chloride in dimethylformamide

Reaction of metal exchange of Mg(II) and Cd(II) octa(4-bromophenyl)tetraazaporphyrinates with MnCl₂ in dimethylformamide has been studied by means of spectrophotometry. Kinetic parameters of the reaction have been determined; the reaction stoichiometry mechanism has been suggested.     

TiCl(4)-promoted Baylis-Hillman reactions of substituted 5-isoxazolecarboxaldehydes with cycloalkenones)

The Baylis-Hillman (BH) reaction of substituted 5-isoxazolecarboxaldehydes with cyclohexenone in the presence of TiCl(4) invariably lead to the formation of hemiacetals beside the BH adducts. A similar reaction in the presence of DABCO, DBU, or 3-HQN yielded minor quantities of phenols in addition to the usual BH adducts. Similar to 5-isoxazolecarboxaldehydes, the TiCl(4)-mediated BH reaction of cyclohexenone with various benzaldehydes also furnishes hemiacetals in considerable yields. The reaction mechanism involving the formation of alpha-chloromethyl enone as an intermediate has been proposed. The synthesis of hemiacetals 5 and 14 from compound 4 in the presence of cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone, respectively, under acidic conditions indicates that enolization and aromatization of the cyclohexene ring are the key steps in the reaction mechanism.

Exploring Ternary and Quaternary Mixtures in the LiBH4-NaBH4-KBH4-Mg(BH4)2-Ca(BH4)2 System

Binary combinations of borohydrides have been extensivly investigated evidencing the formation of eutectics, bimetallic compounds or solid solutions. In this paper, the investigation has been extended to ternary and quaternary systems in the LiBH₄-NaBH₄-KBH₄-Mg(BH₄)₂-Ca(BH₄)₂ system. Possible interactions among borohydrides in equimolar composition has been explored by mechanochemical treatment. The obtained phases were analysed by X-ray diffraction and the thermal behaviour of the mixtures were analysed by HP-DSC and DTA, defining temperature of transitions and decomposition reactions. The release of hydrogen was detected by MS, showing the role of the presence of solid solutions and multi-cation compounds on the hydrogen desorption reactions. The presence of LiBH₄ generally promotes the release of H₂ at about 200 °C, while KCa(BH₄)₃ promotes the release in a single-step reaction at higher temperatures.     

Novel (E)- and (Z)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles from (E)- and (Z)-3-styrylchromones: the unexpected case of (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles

An efficient synthetic method for the preparation of (E)- and (Z)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles has been developed. The reaction of (E)- and (Z)-3-styrylchromones with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding (E)- and (Z)-4-styrylpyrazoles, respectively, saved 4′-nitro-derivatives where both (E)- and (Z)-4′-nitro-3-styrylchromones afforded (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles. The reaction mechanism for these transformations was discussed and the stereochemistry of all products was assigned by NMR experiments.
