The reaction of 2-azaallenium salts with carbodiimides and tert-butyl isocyanide

2-Azaallenium salts $\text{1}$ react with diisopropyl carbodiimide to afford the formal dihydro-1,3-diazetium salts $\text{5}$. The structure of $\text{5c}$ has been confirmed by an X-ray diffraction analysis. With the carbodiimide $\text{2e}$ the tetraphenyl-2-azaallenium salt $\text{1a}$ reacts to give the guanidinium compound $\text{6}$.The diazetium salts $\text{5}$ react with further carbodiimide to afford the formal 2-azaallenium salts $\text{11}$. With tert-butyl isocyanide the 2-azaallenium salts $\text{1}$ undergo an Ugi reaction to yield the nitriles $\text{14}$.     

Halex reactions of aromatic compounds catalysed by 2-azaallenium, carbophosphazenium, aminophosphonium and diphosphazenium salts: a comparative study

An increasing number of biologically active compounds in the pharma and agro-chemical sector contain carbon fluorine bonds. One of the most common methods to introduce fluorine into intermediates is the well-investigated halogen-exchange reaction, in which chloro- and bromoaromatics activated towards nucleophilic substitution, react with a fluoride source to yield the corresponding fluoroarenes. In general, the reaction is supported by phase-transfer catalysts. The use of a new class of very active phase-transfer catalysts gives the possibility of substituting even halogens with weak activation giving a convenient access to interesting compounds that are not available so far and opening up new synthetic routes in Halex chemistry. Our new classes of catalysts, CNC⁺ (1a), PNC⁺ (2a) and several different approaches presented by other groups are described and experimental results discussed.     

Racemization barriers of 1,1'-binaphthyl and 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol: a DFT study

Density functional theory has been applied to the study of various pathways and transition states for the configurational inversion of 1,1'-binaphthyl (1) and 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (2). The preferred pathway is found to be anti with centrosymmetric transition state. Whereas the reaction path of 1 goes downhill from transition to ground state, in the case of 2 it contains one unexpected local minimum. Very satisfactory agreement with available experimental values of activation Gibbs energies is achieved.     

The reaction of 2,4,6-tris(trimethylsiloxy)-1,3,5-triazine with chlorocarbenium ions: a new access to 1-oxa-3-azabutatrienium and 2-azaallenium salts

Chlorocarbenium salts - of the Vilsmeier-Arnold type react with the silylated isocyanuric acid to give 1-oxa-3-azabutatrienium salts under mild conditions. From reactions of diarylchloromethenium salts - with and ketones or tertiary carboxamides high yields of 2-azaallenium salts were obtained. A few chloro substituted 2-azaallenium salts were prepared from and carbonyl compounds. The mechanisms of the new reactions are discussed.     

Convenient preparation of 2-benzoxazolinones with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole

A convenient and general preparation of 2-benzoxazolinones from 2-aminophenols with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole is described. Included is a discussion of a much improved synthesis of the reproductive-stimulant 6-methoxy-2-benzoxazolinone ( 6-MBOA ) that utilizes this procedure.     

Aminonitrile rearrangement and the cleavage of 1,1-dialkyl-δ2-tetrahydropyridazinium salts

1,1-Dimethyl- and 1-ethyl-1-methyl-²-tetrahydropyridazinium iodides undergo an aminonitrile rearrangement under the action of alkali with the formation of-dialkylaminobutyronitriles.The aminonitrile rearrangement has been used as a method of showing the structure of the oxidation product of 3-methylhexahydropyridazine which is 6-methyl-²-tetrahydropyridazine.Under the action ot NaOH, 3-methyl-substituted ²-tetrahydropyridazinium salts, for which the aminonitrile rearrangement is excluded split off the substituent from the nitrogen atom and undergo far-reaching decomposition.     

1,1-Dialkyl-2-acyl-3-hydroxypyrazolidinium and 2,2-dialkyl-5-hydroxyisoxazolidinium salts

Salts of 1,1-dimethyl-2-acylhydrazines and 1,1-dialkylhydroxylamines add quantitatively to the double bond of oxo compounds with an unsubstituted vinyl substituent. The structure of the products depends on the nature of the substituent at the carbonyl group.¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy indicated that acrolein derivatives have the cyclic structure of 1,1-dialkyl-2-acyl-3-hydroxypyrazolidinium and 2,2-dialkyl-5-hydroxyisoxazolidinium salts, while derivatives of phenyl vinyl ketone and hydrazide salts are the corresponding linear, hydrazinium salts. Ring-chain tautomerism was found for several derivatives of methyl vinyl ketone in solution.Military Medical Academy, 194175 St. Petersburg.

Synthesis and structural studies of 1,1'-bis-amino-functionalized ferrocenes, ferrocene salts, and ferrocenium salts

Having isolated and characterized a series of sodium cyclopentadienide salts, we have synthesized a number of 1,1'-bis-amino-functionalized ferrocenes, 1,1'-bis-amino-functionalized ferrocene salts, and 1,1'-bis-amino-functionalized ferrocenium salts. Among these are the first crystallographically characterized examples of cyclopentadienyl units containing (piperidin-N-ylethyl)- and (pyrid-2-ylmethyl)cyclopentadienyl side chains. In the cases of some of the ferrocenes, ferrocene salts, and ferrocenium salts, there are some interesting structural features in the solid state. These include C-H...N and C-H...pi cloud interactions as well as N-H...O and N-H...F hydrogen bonds.     

A contribution to the thermal decomposition of salts and metal complexes of 1,1-dithiolates

Summary The thermal decomposition of salts and metal complexes (binary and mixed ligand) of dithiocarbamates, xanthates, dithiocarbazates and dithiophosphates has been studied thermogravimetrically. The activation energies of decomposition for some of them were calculated adopting the Coats and Redfern equation. In most cases the binary complexes decompose in a single sharp stage whereas the mixed ligand complexes are characterised by decompositions having more than one stage.     

A new preparation of trifluoromethanesulfinate salts

Trifluoromethanesulfinate (triflinate) salts can be prepared in an ecofriendly way by β-elimination of aliphatic triflones bearing an acidic hydrogen in β position. This technique allows the synthesis of various triflinate salts under mild conditions.

Enantiomerically pure 2-(aryloxymethyl)aziridines are efficiently transformed into chiral N-(2-bromo-3-aryloxypropyl)amines via a regio- and stereospecific ring opening of the intermediate aziridinium salts, and the experimental results are rationalized on the basis of some high level ab initio calculations.     

Sulfur-containing derivatives of five-membered cyclic sulfones. 2. Intramolecular cyclization of isothioureidothiolene 1,1-dioxide salts

cis-2-Imino-4,6,7,8-tetrahydrothieno[3,4-d]thiazole 5,5-dioxides were obtained by intramolecular cyclization of 4-isothioureido-2-thiolene 1,1-dioxide salts. The reaction of N-substituted thioureas with 4-bromo-2-thiolene 1,1-dioxide leads to 3-substituted cis-2-imino-4,6,7,8-tetrahydrothieno[3,4-d]thiazole 5,5-dioxides.See [1] for Communication 1.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 110–113, January, 1988.     

Conjugated push-pull salts derived from linear benzobisthiazole: preparation and optical properties

A series of novel monomethylated salts derived from linear benzobisthiazole was prepared. The push-pull attributes of these new compounds are represented by a quaternised azolium cycle as the acceptor part at one end of the structure and the dialkylamino- or diarylamino-substituted benzene ring as the donor part at the opposite end. Both moieties are connected by a conjugated linker consisting of one or two double bonds. Such dipolar structures are promising candidates for non-linear optical materials. The quantum-chemical indices describing linear and non-linear optical properties were obtained from semi-empirical calculations. The relationships between the chemical structure and non-linear optical properties of the cations studied were obtained. Effective conjugation was confirmed by measuring the optical properties in the UV-VIS region.
