1,2-bis(2',6'-dimethyl-i',3'-dioxa-6'-aza-2'-silacyclooctyl-2')ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives

Conclusions The reaction of 1,2-bis(methyldimethoxysilyl)ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives with bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamine gives 1,2-bis(2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctyl-2)ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives. Analogously, 1,2-bis(vinyldimethoxysilyl)acetylene gave 1,2-bis(2-vinyl-6-methyl-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctyl-2)acetylene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1420–1421, June, 1988.     

Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 8. Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)-quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride

Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride leads to 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls which, except for the ethoxycarbonyl derivative, undergo rearrangement to 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. The last can be synthesized by the alkylation of the corresponding 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls under conditions of interphase catalysis and in the system KOH-DMSO.For Communication 7, see [1].Stavropol' State University, Stavropol' 355009, Russia; nauka@stavsu.ru.

Synthesis and characterization of some methyl complexes of palladium(II). Part 2(1)

Summary Dichloro complexes of Pd^II, [Pd(L–L)Cl₂], where L–L=1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylarsino)ethane (S–As) or 1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane (S–P) andtrans-[PdL₂Cl₂], where L=diphenyl(2-phenylethyl)-phosphine (PE), diphenyl(1-naphthyl)phosphine (PN) orN-methyl-2-thiophenealdimine (SN), have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of these complexes with MeLi were investigated. The dimethyl complexes [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) and [Pd(PE)Me₂] were isolated and characterized. Reaction of [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) with HCl affords the monomethyl derivatives [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)]. In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].

Coumarins of Seseli tenuisectum

Summary The herbSeseli tenuisectum has been found to contain — in addition to anomalin — another three coumarins (C-2, C-3, and C-4) which are derivatives of khellactone.On the basis of NMR, mass, and IR spectroscopy, the products of stepwise alkaline methanolysis and hydrolysis, and conversion into pteryxin, it has been established that two of them are isomeric monoesters of khellactone and angelic acid with the structures 3-angeloyloxy-4-hydroxy- and 4-angeloyloxy-3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroxyseselin, respectively. They have been obtained in the individual state for the first time by thin-layer chromatography, which has enabled their IR spectra to be recorded.The lactone C-4 is a diester of khellactone with the structure 4-angeloyloxy-3-isovaleryloxy-3,4-dihydroseselin.We are the first to have found these substances in plants of the flora of the USSR.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 38–43, January–February, 1972.

The resulting N,N-diacylimidazolinyl- and N,N-diacylbenzimidazolinylindoles were converted to 2-(3-indolyl)-1,3-diacylimidazolium and N,N-diacylbenzimidazolium salts by the action of trityl perchlorate.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 238–247, February, 1977.     

Optisch aktive aromatische Spirane, 18. Mitt.: Darstellung von optisch aktiven 4,4′-disubstituierten 2,2′-Spirobi-s-hydrindacenen

Summary All optically active title compounds were obtained from the 4,4-diacetyl-spiro compound2; (+)- and (–)-2 were accessible by chromatography on triacetyl cellulose in ethanol. The enantiomeric purities were established from chromatographic data. The chirality (–)-(2R) was deduced for all new compounds on the basis of the CD spectra of (–)-2 and (–)-2,2-spirobi-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[f]indane). From the molar rotations of these 4,4-disubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes (empirical) ligand parameters were determined (using the so-called shortened approach). Generally, the values of in these compounds are higher than those of the analogous tetrahydrobenzoindane derivatives.

Trifluoroacetylation of 9-methylcarbazole. Example of the formation of a triarylfluoroethane in the heterocyclic series

It is shown that the trifluoroacetylation of 9-methylcarbazole proceeds regio-specifically in the 3 position of the ring. 1,1,1-Tris(9-methyl-3-carbazolyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethane and 1,1,1,1-tetrakis(9-methyl-3-carbazolyl)-2,2,2,2,2,-2-hexafluorodiethyl ether were also isolated from the reaction mixture. Bis(trifluoroacetyl) derivatives were not detected.

Electronic structure and models of monooxygenase inductor receptor from a number of polychlorinated polycyclic compounds. 5. MNDO calculations of halogen derivatives of azoxybenzenes

The MNDO method has been used to calculate the electronic and geometric structure of 3,3,4,4-tetraehloroazoxybenzene (TCAOB), 3,3,4,4-tetrachloro-6-hydroxyazobenzene (TCHAB), and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF). The TCAOB exists in the gas phase in the form of two configurations, one nonplanar and one nearly planar. The latter is approximately 4 kcal/mole less stable than the first. The oxidation of 3,3,4,4-tetrachloroazobenzene (TCAB) to TCAOB is endothermic only in the case of the acton of hydrogen peroxide, not molecular oxygen. The isomerization of TCAOB to TCHAB proceeds with a gain in energy (–62 kcal/mole); however, the reaction from the ground state of the TCAOB molecule is symmetry-forbidden and is possible only from an excited state of the TCAOB. The process of oxidation of TCAOB and TCHAB by molecular oxygen to form TCDF or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorobenzo-p-dioxin is energy-favorable; this is important in judging the biological action of TCAOB.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 101–105, January, 1991.
