Quantum chemical study of the transformation of 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides by protic acids: Tandem hydride transfer/cyclization mechanism

The geometric parameters, the charge distribution, and the energetics of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and their conjugated acids were studied by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The mechanism of the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence, which occurs after protonation of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides, was analyzed. The investigation of the potential energy surface for the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization of the iminium cation that formed upon protonation revealed that the hydride transfer followed by intramolecular cyclization at position 7 of the indole fragment in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)maleimide is the preferable process, unlike alternative intramolecular cyclization involving the cationic center at the C(2) atom of the indole fragment and the benzene ring of the N-ethylaniline fragment of the indoleninium cation in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimide. A study of the key intermediates of the assumed reaction mechanism demonstrated that these intermediates are actually stationary points on the potential energy surface (minima and transition states).

Chemical depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste is a possible remedy to huge amount of solid waste generation as it results in degradation products that possess a potential of recyclability. PET bottle waste was depolymerized by aminolysis using diethanolamine. Novel synthesis of N¹, N¹,N⁴,N⁴-tetrakis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide (THETA) with 73-76% yield and terephthalic acid (TPA) with 78-82% yield was achieved. The purified products were analyzed by FTIR, melting point, DSC, DTG and ¹H-NMR. THETA has various applications in the synthesis of rigid polyurethane foam, unsaturated polyester resins and also as a cross linking agent/ hardener for epoxy resins.     

Synthesis,structures and properties ofN-(trihalogermylmethyl)-substituted amides,lactams and imides,the derivatives of the five-coordinate germanium

The formation of trichlorogermyl-substituted amides, lactams, and imides occurs when 2Et₂O·HGeCl₃ is condensed with compounds possessing the -NCH₂Cl fragment and equally well when HGeCl₃ interacts with compounds containing -NCH₂OH and-NCH₂OSiMe₃ groups. In some cases, the use of the latter is more advantageous from the preparative point of view. In compounds thus obtained, the germanium is five-coordinate due to the coordination .

Reaction of 2-chloro-3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone with cyclic amines (piperidine,morpholine, and pyrrolidine)

It was shown that the reaction of 2-chloro-3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone with piperidine in the absence of a solvent gives not only a product of replacement of the chlorine atom by a piperidino group, 3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-2-piperidino-1,4-naphthoquinone, but also 2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino-2-piperidino)-1,4-naphthoquinone. The latter compounds are the only reaction products formed in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction with morpholine occurs in a similar way, whereas that with pyrrolidine gives only a product of replacement of the chlorine atom by hydrogen.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Cavity size effect on ICT-dual emission of p-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-styrylquinoline: complexation with cyclodextrin derivatives

The effect of cyclodextrin inclusion complex formation on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of the included 4-N,N-dimethylamino-2-strylquinoline (2-StQ-NMe₂) has been studied in detail. 2-StQ-NMe₂ in presence of α-, β-, γ- and HP-α- and Hp-β-CDs predominantly exhibits ICT fluorescence predominantly than the emission from locally excited state, whereas in presence of HP-γ-CD the later is observed. In presence of α-CD, 2:1 complexation of the 2-StQ-NMe₂ is observed in addition to 1:1 complexation. The observed results are explained by the CD cavity size and an active role for the secondary hydroxyl groups present in the wider rim of the CD cavity and also which finds support from absorption, emission, lifetime and molecular modeling studies.

Copper (II) complexes ofN-salicylideneanthranilic acid (I) and its derivatives (II, III) as well as their NaBH₄ reduction products, namelyN-(2-hydroxybenzyl) anthranilic acids (IV–VI) have been prepared and their structures have been determined analytically.
