4-Alkoxy-2-hydroxy-4′-vinylbenzophenones,ultraviolet-absorbing monomers

2,4-Dihydroxy-4′-vinylbenzophenone (I) and its 4-alkyl ethers (II), Me, Et, n-Bu, n-Oct, and n-dodecyl, were prepared in three steps by Hoesch synthesis, starting with p-(2-bromoethyl) benzonitrile and resorcinol and its monoalkyl ethers. I and its precursor 2,4-dihydroxy-4′-(2-bromoethyl) benzophenone were also converted into their 4-alkyl ethers with alkyl halides in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of sodium hydrogen carbonate. Copolymerizations of I and II with styrene took place smoothly with satisfactory conversions to yield copolymers with ε-values around 10⁴ L/mol cm^?1 per benzophenone unit over the ultraviolet (UV) range of 235–340nm.     

The mechanism of u.v. stabilization of polypropylene films by 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone

The rates of oxygen absorption by unstabilized and u.v.-stabilized polypropylene (PP) films irradiated with a high-pressure mercury lamp have been determined as a function of the light intensity (I). The induction time is nearly proportional to I^?0.5 for unstabilized PP and for PP stabilized with Tinuvin P, and proportional to about I^?0.9 for PP stabilized with 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone (HOBP). The change in concentration of HOBP in PP during the photo-oxidation is determined with radioactive HOBP. During the induction time, the observed decrease obeys zero-order kinetics even when the starting concentration of HOBP is as low as 0.008%. The decrease is caused by reaction of HOBP with the polymer and by fragmentation into gaseous products. These results are interpreted on the basis of the same reaction scheme as that worked out for the uninhibited and inhibited autoxidation of PP. It is concluded that HOBP acts not only as a u.v. absorber or as an excited-state quencher, but also as a scavenger of free radicals.     

Azabrendanes. I. Synthesis,structure and spectral parameters of N-(arylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonanes

A number of N-(arylsulfonyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enendo-5-methylamines have been synthesized from bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-en-endo-5-carbonitrile via reduction of the latter by lithium aluminum hydride and subsequent reactions of the resulting amine with arylsufonyl chlorides. The structures and stereochemical homogeneity of the products have been supported by the analysis of ¹H NMR spectra and by COSY-experiments. The reactions of the sulfonamides with peroxyphthalic acid are accompanied by intramolecular cyclizations and are completed by the formation of N-(arylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonanes. The structures of the substituted azabrendanes have been confirmed by spectral methods. The molecular structure of N-(p-methoxy-carbonylaminophenylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo-[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonane 8j has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The relative configuration of the 1,3-diol intermediates 4 and 5 was determined on the basis of the ¹³C-nmr spectra of their acetonides. The relative stereochemistry of title compounds was confirmed by using homonuclear NOE and selective decoupling experiments, as well as by analysis of the coupling patterns observed in their ¹H-nmr spectra.     

Chinolizine und Indolizine,XIII. Acyl-2-hydroxy-4-chinolizinone

The reaction of 2-picolylketones (1 a, b) with reactive trichlorophenyl malonates (2 a–f) leads to 1-acyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinoliziones (3 a–i) which can be easily deacylated by boiling hydrochloric acid yielding 4-quinolizinones4 a–f. The 3-acetyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinolizinones6 and8 are obtained byKlosa-Ziegler acylation of4 a and7, respectively. The reaction of the acetyl compound3 a with acetic anhydride yields the 2-pyrone derivative9, whereas the propionyl derivative3 g yields the 4-pyrone10 under the same conditions. Nitration of3 e does not give the 1-nitro derivative12 but rather the 1,3-dinitro compound11.     

3－烷基-4-羟基-2-噻唑烷硫酮-4-羧酸乙酯的一锅煮合成

Ethyl 3-alkyl-4-hydroxy-2-thioxothiazolidine-4-carboxylates were prepared in excellent yields from the reaction of corresponding primary amines with carbon disulfide and ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxopropanoate in the presence of anhydrous potassium phosphate in DMF at room temperature within 1 h. The structures of the highly functionalized products were corroborated spectroscopically （IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, EI-MS） and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for such type of cyclization was proposed.

Highly enantioselective hydrogenation of 2-oxo-4-arybutanoic acids to 2-hydroxy-4-arylbutanoic acids

The Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-oxo-4-arybutanoic acids to afford 2-hydroxy-4-arybutanoic acids was accomplished by employing SunPhos as chiral ligand and 1 M aq HBr as additive. The high enantioselectivities (88.4%-92.6% ee) and efficiency (TON=10,000, TOF=300 h⁻¹) make this method efficient for the synthesis of an important intermediate, (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid, for ACE inhibitors.     

Synthetic, structural, and antimicrobial studies of organotin(IV) complexes of semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone derived from 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde

Reaction of dibutyltin dichloride, dimethyltin dichloride, and tributyltin chloride with ligands derived from thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone leads to the formation of a new series of organotin(IV) complexes of general formula R₂SnCl₂·L and R₃SnCl·L (where L ligands derived from the condensation of thiosemicarbazide and semicarbazide with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde). The authenticity of these ligands and their metal complexes have been established on the basis of elemental analysis, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and UV spectral studies. These studies showed that the ligands coordinate to the metal atom in a bidentate. An octahedral structure is proposed for the organotin(IV) complexes. The ligands and its metal complexes are screened for their antimicrobial activities against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungus. The studies demonstrated that metalation can increase the antimicrobial activity rather than the free ligands.     

Spectrophotometric studies of 4-(2-hydroxy-4-substituted-azobenzene)-2-methyl-quinolines as reagents for the determination of silver

Summary The spectroscopic behaviour of some quinoline azo dyes has been studied. A simple, rapid, accurate, and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric microdetermination of Ag(I) ions using the title compounds is given. The conditions for the formation of the coloured complexes are obeyed up to 26 µg·ml^–1; the optimum concentration range for application of theRingbom method is 2.5–23 µg·ml^–1. The molar absorptivity and theSandell sensitivity have also been calculated. The method proved to be successful in determining Ag⁺ in photography fixing solutions. The results agreed satisfactorily with those obtained using standard atomic absorption spectroscopy.

Summary Binuclear complexes of the type [M(HDCDP)(H₂O)_n]₂ and [M(HDCDB)(H₂O)_n]₂, where HDCDP and HDCDB are Schiff bases derived from glycine and diacetylmonoxime, and orthoaminobenzoic acid and diacetylmonoxime respectively, M=VO^II, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II or Ag^II and n=0 or 2, have been synthesized. Physical and spectroscopic analyses indicate a binuclear structure for the complexes with metal ions in an octahedral environment, where the ligands coordinate to the metal centre through azomethine nitrogens, oxime and carboxylate oxygen in a tetradentate manner.     

Preparation,characterization, reactivities and electrochemistry of some homo- and heterodinuclear complexes of 2-hydroxy-5- methylbenzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde and 1,3-diacetyl- 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzene

Homo- and heterodinuclear complexes of composition [M₂L₂](ClO₄)₂·4H₂O, [CuML₂](ClO₄)₂·nH₂O (M = Ni, Co or Mn; L = L¹ or L²) and [CuML²Cl₂]·2H₂O (M = Ni or Co) have been synthesized with the dinucleating ligands 2-hydroxy-5-methyl- benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde (HL¹) and 1,3-diacetyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzene (HL₂). These compounds have been characterized and their chemical reactivities investigated. The electrochemical behaviour of [M₂L₂²](ClO₄)₂·4H₂O and [CuML₂²](ClO₄)₂·nH₂O complexes have been examined in acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide using Hg and Pt electrodes. The cyclic voltammograms obtained with a Hg electrode show quasi-reversible electron transfers for both metal centres that often get complicated due to decomplexation of metal ions and adsorption phenomena. On a Pt electrode irreversible electron transfers occur at more negative potentials.     

Sekundäre Phosphinchalkogenide. VII. Synthese von Bis(tert.-butylphosphino)ethan,ButHPCH2CH2PHBut,und 1-tert.-Butylphosphino-2-diphenylphosphino-ethan,Ph2PCH2CH2PHBut,sowie deren sekundäre Phosphinchalkogenide

Secondary Phosphine Chalcogenides. VII. Synthesis of Bis(tert.-butylphosphino)thane, Bu^tHPCH₂CH₂PHBu^t, and 1-tert.-Butylphosphino-2-diphenylphosphinoethane, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PHBu^t, as well as their Secondary Phosphine Chalcogenides The reaction of Cl₂PCH₂CH₂PCl₂ with Bu^tMgCl gives Bu^tClPCH₂CH₂PClBu^t which is either hydrolysed to yield Bu^tH(O)PCH₂CH₂P(O)HBu^t or reduced to give Bu^tHPCH₂CH₂PHBu^t. This phosphine reacts with sulfur or selenium to give Bu^tH(E)PCH₂CH₂P(E)HBu^t (E = S, Se). Treatment of Ph₂PCH₂CH₂Cl with LiPHBu^t results Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PHBu^t which is oxidized to give Ph₂(E)PCH₂CH₂P(E)HBu^t (E = O, S, Se). The Ph₂P group appears to be oxidized primarily. The compounds obtained are characterized by means of I.R. ¹H and ³¹P-N.M.R. spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and Properties of 4,5-trans-2-Alkylthio-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-4-phenyl-5-pyridinio-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine Iodides

Alkylation of 4,5-trans-4-aryl-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-5-pyridinio-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiolates 1, 2 was carried out. The presence of 5-pyridinio cation in thiolates 1, 2 as a strong electron-withdrawing group leads to a pronounced enhancement of their stability to dehydration but decreases their reactivity with electrophilic reagents. Steric structures of 2-alkylthio-6-hydroxytetrahydropyridines 3-5 are discussed in the light of ¹H NMR spectra and crystal X-ray diffraction data.     

New synthetic approaches to 3-carhoxamides of 4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxide

Two new synthetic approaches to the title compounds are reported. In the first of these, starting with N-carbobenzyloxysarcosine, four synthetic steps are employed to finally assemble the C³? C⁴ bond of the 1,2-benzothiazine ring. In the second approach, an enol ether is employed as a protecting group to allow formation of the 3-carboxamide function, which is followed by cleavage of the ether function to yield the desired 4-hydroxy-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide 1,1-dioxide.
