Perhalogenmethylmercapto-heterocyclen, (VII) [1] konkurrenzreaktionen elektronenarmer,substituierter aromaten um die halogenmethylmercapto- BZW. Chlorgruppe von Cl3-nFnCSCl in starken saeuren

Electron-deficient aromatics, such as 2,5-bis(trifluoromethylmercapto)thiophene ($\text{1a}$) or (trifluoromethylmercapto)benzene ($\text{8a}$), react with F₃CSCl in the presence of F₃CSO₃ as a catalyst to give mainly 3-chloro-2,5-bis(trifluoromethylmercapto)thiophen ($\text{3a}$) and 1-chloro-4- or 2-(trifluoromethylmercapto)benzene ($\text{10}$, respectively. This reaction competes with the one expected to result in 2,3,5-tris(trifluoromethylmercapto)thiophene ($\text{2a}$) and 1,4- and 1,2-bis(trifluoromethylmercapto)benzene ($\text{9}$,$\text{9′}$), respectively. Further reactions of deactivated aromatics with Cl_3-nF_nCSCl show that the chlorine substitution is in general catalysed by strong acids. Reaction mechanisms are proposed for both Substitutions. The Cl_3-nF_nCS group in aromatics exerts a -M-effect in the case of an attack of a positive ion, e.g. H^⊕, the well-known +M-effect in the case of reactions with positively polarized molecules, e.g. CF₃S^β+Cl^β-.     

Preparation of some highly halogenated derivative of furan

Direct chlorination of 2-(2H-hexafluoropropyl)-tetra- hydrofuran $\text{1}$ gave high yield of 2-(2-chlorohexafluoropropyl)- pentachloro-2,5-dihydrofuran $\text{2}$. Bromination of $\text{1}$ gave very complex mixture of products, from which three compounds, $\text{viz}$. 2-bromo-5-(2H-hexafluoropropyl)-furan $\text{3}$, 3-bromo-5-(2H-hexafluoropropyl)-furan $\text{4}$, and 2,4-dibromo-5-(2H-hexafluoropropyl)furan $\text{5}$ were isolated. Exchange fluorination of $\text{2}$ with dry KF at 240 – 300° led to a stepwise substitution of fluorines for chlorines to give mixtures of chloro-fluoro-2-(2-chlorohexafluoropropyl)-dihydrofurans $\text{7}$,$\text{8}$,$\text{9}$ and $\text{10}$, together with small amounts of 2-(2-chlorohexafluoropropyl)-3,4,5-trichlorofuran $\text{6}$.Exchange fluorination of 3,4-dihalo-2,2,5,5-tetrafluoro- 2,5-dihydrofurans $\text{11a}$ and $\text{11b}$ led to a substitution of fluorine for one vinylic halogen to give 3-halo-2,2,4,5,5-pentafluoro-2,5-dihydrofurans $\text{12a}$ and $\text{12b}$ in good yields.Compounds $\text{2}$ – $\text{12}$ were characterised by n.m.r., m.s., and i.r. spectroscopy and elemental analysis.     

Perhalogenmethylmercapto-heterocyclen,IX (perchlormethylmercapto)- und (perfluormethylmercapto)pyridine

Methods of substituting pyridine by perhalogenomethylmercapto groups are discussed. The side chain chlorination of 2-(methylmercapto)pyridine leads gradually to 2-(trichloromethylmercapto)pyridine hydrochloride ($\text{1a}$) and 2-(trichloromethylmercapto)pyridine ($\text{1b}$). Neither a direct reaction of pyridine with CF₃SCl nor the way over a Grignard reaction or a sulfenylcarboxylate lead to CF₃S-substituted products. Reactions of pyridine and bromopyridines with Hg(SCF₃)₂ yield 1:1-adducts ($\text{2a-d}$) only. Lithium tetrakis(1,2-dihydro-1-pyridyl)aluminate (LDPA) reacts with CF₃SCl to give 3-(trifluoromethylmercapto)pyridine ($\text{3}$); in addition a disubstituted product can be identified massspectroscopically. ¹H- and ¹⁹F-NMR-spectra are reported.     

[2+2]-Cycloadditionen von vinylkationen

The vinylbromides $\text{1a}$ and $\text{1b}$ are allowed to react ith AgBF₄ and AgPF₆ in the presence of various olefins in CH₂Cl₂ as the solvent. Except for the reaction of cyclopentene with $\text{1a}$ all other olefins used, react with vinyl cation $\text{2}$ to form the cycloaddition products $\text{7}$, $\text{8a}$ and $\text{8b}$ in high yields.     

Cycloaddition reactions of 1,3-benzothiazines - 6. Reactions of 1,3-benzothiazine derivatives with substituted acetyl chlorides

6, 7-Dimethoxy-2$\text{H}$-l,3-benzothiazine derivatives ($\text{1}$, $\text{8}$) react with substituted acetyl chlorides to give angularly condensed β -lactams ($\text{3a}$-$\text{d}$, $\text{10}$, $\text{11}$). The $\text{cis}$ compound $\text{11}$ was epimerised to the $\text{trans}$ derivative $\text{12}$. From the interaction of 2-phenyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4$\text{H}$-1,3-benzothiazine ($\text{7}$) and α -chloro-phenylacetyl chloride two stereoisomeric β -lactam derivatives ($\text{9a}$, $\text{b}$) were isolated, whereas in the other cases studied the reactions leading to β -lactams proved to be stereospecific. Analogous reactions of $\text{4}$-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-2$\text{H}$-l,3-benzothiazine ($\text{5}$) furnished the enamides $\text{6a}$,$\text{c}$, $\text{d}$. Structures of the new compounds and configurations of the diastereomers were elucidated by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Contributionàl'étude du système formépar l'étain,le soufre et l'iode. Mise enévidence des deux variétés de l'iodosulfure stanneux Sn2SI2: Comportement thermique etétude structurale

We have found a new compound Mn₈O₁₀Cl₃. It is prepared by oxidation of anhydrous or hydrated MnCl₂ in streaming (N₂ + O₂) at temperatures less than 680°C. At room temperature the compound is tetragonal, a = b = 9.2898 Å, c = 13.0247 Å. The more symmetric space group is $\text{I4}\text{mmm}$. Mn₈O₁₀Cl₃ becomes cubic at 360°C with the c-axis as cubic parameter. In air, DTA and GTA have shown that Mn₈O₁₀Cl₃ is transformed at 580°C into Mn₂O₃ which gives Mn₃O₄ at 960°C. The exact formula has been determined only by crystal structure analysis.     

Attempts to prepare alkylidene zirconium complexes by α-hydrogen atom abstraction

We prepared several new neopentyl halide complexes of zirconium in order to test whether they could be induced to lose neopentane and give neopentylidene complexes by adding phosphorus or nitrogen donor ligands. ZrNp₂X₂ (X  Cl or Br) can be prepared in ether and isolated as a dietherate (an oil). It reacts with L (L  PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, NEt₃, $\text{1}\text{2}$ DMPE, $\text{1}\text{2}$ TMEDA) to give ZrNp₂X₂L₂. ZrNp₃Cl can be prepared by adding MgNp₂ to ZrNp₂Cl₂(ether)₂ and isolated by sublimation in 25% yield. On adding PMe₃ or TMEDA, it disproportionates to ZrNp₄ and ZrNp₂Cl₂L₂. ZrCp″NpCl₂ (Cp″ = η⁵-C₅Me₅), ZrCp″Np₂Cl, and ZrCp″Np₃ were prepared by adding MgNp₂ to ZrCp″Cl₃. Only the last is a solid, only the first forms an adduct, ZrCp″NpCl₂(PMe₃). None of the complexes decomposed to tractable products in the presence of L. Photolysis of ZrNp₂Cl₂(PMe₃)₂ yielded [Zr(PMe₃)₂Cl₃]₂ by an apparently complex reaction initiated by homolytic ZrNp bond fission.     

α-Phenylselenenylation d'aldehydes - synthese simple d'α-cetoaldehydes a fonction cetone protegee

Morpholinophenylselenenamide $\text{2}$ add to β-phenylselenoenamines $\text{1a}$ and yield β,β-bis(phenylseleno) enamines $\text{4}$. These compound undergo hydrolysis to form bis(phenylseleno) ethanal $\text{5a}$. Also, $\text{2}$ react with enolic aldehydes to give α-phenylselenoaldehydes $\text{3}$. This reaction allow a “one step” synthesis of cetoselenoacetals $\text{5}$ of α-cetoaldehydes with good yields.     

Studies on amino acids and peptides-III. 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide,LR, as a new racemization free coupling reagent in peptide synthesis

The easily accessible 2,4-bis (4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide, $\text{LR}$, has been reacted with salts of N-protected amino acids $\text{1}$ (Z-Gly-OH, Boc-Gly-OH, Boc-S-Ser(Bzl)-OH, Boc-S-Tyr(Bzl)-OH, Z-S-Arg(Z₂)-OH, and Z-S-Pro-OH), at room temperature in CH₂Cl₂ to give the intermediates $\text{2}$, mixed anhydrides. When $\text{2}$ is treated with two moles of a base and one mole of the salt of an amino acid ester $\text{3}$ (TosOH·H-Gly-OBzl, HCl·H-Gly-OBzl, HCl·H-Gly-OEt, and HCl·H-S-Phe-OtBu) at 0°C, the expected peptide $\text{4}$ is isolated in high yields. LR is also found to be a useful reagent in a fragment coupling between Z-Gly-S-Ala-OH and TosOH·H-S-Leu-OBzl). This tripeptide was tested by means of HPLC (deprotection and amino acid analysis according to Izumiya was not necessary), and no epimerization (<0.7 %) was observed.     

Action of tert-butyl azidoformate on the conjugate bases of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-carbazole and other indole derivatives

tert-Butyl azidoformate ($\text{2}$) reacts with the conjugate bases of $\text{3a}$, $\text{7a}$, $\text{9}$ (R¹ = R² = CH₃), and $\text{9}$ (R¹ = CH₃, R² = H) to give products [$\text{4}$, $\text{8}$, $\text{12}$, and $\text{14}$, respectively] in addition to the expected N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)indole derivatives.     

New 1,1-amino hydroperoxides from regioselective oxygenation of 4-(n-arylmethyleneamino)-2,6-di-t-butylphenols.

The oxygenation of 4-(N-arylmethyleneamino)-2,6-di-$\text{t}$-butylphenols with Co(Salpr), a five coordinate Co(II0 Schiff base complex, in CH₂Cl₂ results in the regioselective hydroperoxylation at the imino carbon to give N-(l-aryl-l-hydroperoxymethyl)-3,5-di-$\text{t}$-butyl-$\text{p}$-benzoquinone monoimines, which give exclusively the corresponding amides and 2,6-di-$\text{t}$-butyl-$\text{p}$-benzoquinone in an aerobic solution of KOH in 90% EtOH.     

Photoelectron spectra and their relativistic interpretation for gaseous bismuth trihalides

Photoelectron spectra are reported for BiCl₃, BiBr₃ and BiI₃. Assignments are obtained using the relativistically parameterized extended Hückel (REX) and perturbative Hartree—Fock—Slater methods. The halogen p-bands (4a₁, 1a₂, 4e, and 3e) resemble those in the lighter MX₃ molecules at (M = P? Sb). The bismuth—halogen sigma bond MOs (3a₁ and 2e) suffer a relativistic rehybridization into e_{$\text{1}\text{2}$} > e_{$\text{3}\text{2}$} > e_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}.     

Reaction of acylaminocyanoesters with 2,4-bis (4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide leading to substituted aminothiazoles. Crysta

2-Acylamino-2-cyanoacetic acid ethyl esters $\text{2a-c}$ react with 2,4-bis (4-methoxyphenyl)-1, 3, 2, 4-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide $\text{1}$ in refluxing benzene with formation of 2-alkyl(aryl)-5-aminothiazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters $\text{3a-c}$. Structure $\text{3}$ was established by spectroscopic means and an X ray crystallographic investigation of $\text{3a}$. X-Ray analysis revealed that the thiazole ring, exocyclic nitrogen and carbonyl group forming a hydrogen-bonded cycle are nearly coplanar. A resonance interaction is manifested by distinctly shortened /1.447 (3)/ C_(carbonyl)-C_(thiazole) distance.     

Metal—metal bonding in dinuclear complexes of platinum(I). The crystal and molecular structure of carbonyl(chloro)-bis-μ-[bis(diphenylphosphino)methane]diplatinum hexafluorophosphate

The structure of [Pt₂Cl(CO) (μ-Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)₂] [PF₆] was determined by $\text{X}$-ray methods and refined to $\text{R}$ = 0.082, using diffractometric intensities of 5646 independent reflections. The crystals are monoclinic, space group $\text{P}$2₁/$\text{n}$, $\text{a}$ = 12.919(3), $\text{b}$ = 15.576(6), $\text{c}$ = 25.151(5)Å, β = 94.82(3)°, $\text{Z}$ = 4. They are built of octahedral hexafluorophosphate anions and dinuclear platinum(I) cations. The latter contain PtCl and PtCO fragments linked to one another by a PtPt σ-bond and by two bridging bis(diphenylphosphino)methane ligands. The platinum atoms are in square planar environments and the dihedral angle between the two coordination planes is 40.1°. Selected bond lengths are: PtPt 2.620(1), PtCl 2.384(5), PtC 1.89(3) and PtP 2.291(5) – 2.308(5)Å.     

Electrophilic reactions of trihalogenomethanesulfenyl acetates and trifluoroacetates

The stable trihalogenomethanesulfenyl acetates, AcOSCF_nCl_3?n (2) were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding trihalogeno- methanesulfenyl chlorides with sodium acetate. These and fluoro- chloromethanesulfenyl trifluoracetates CF₃COOSCF_nCl_3?n ($\text{1}$) added rapidly in trans manner to cyclohexene to yield β-acetoxy and β-trifluoroacetoxy sulfides ($\text{3}$). The trifluoroacetates ($\text{1}$) also reacted with some aromatics containing electron-donating substituents, such as anisole, toluene, p-xylene, mesitylene and pentamethylbenzene, or with electron-rich heteroaromatics, such as thiophene, to give trihalogenomethylmercapto derivatives.     

Nucleophilic reactions of fluoroolefins. II. Regioselectivity and elimination-addition competition in the reaction of 1-phenylpentafluoropropenes with sodium ethoxide

1-Phenylpentafluoropropene and its para-substituted analogs $\text{1}$ are susceptible to nucleophilic attack at both vinylic carbon atoms C-1 and C-2. They react with ethanolio sodium ethoxide to give predominantly substitution products, 1-ethoxy-1-phenyltetrafluoropropenes $\text{2}$ and 2-ethoxy-1-phenyltetrafluoropropenes $\text{3}$, with only little formation of adducts, $\text{viz}$. 2-ethoxy-1H-1-phenylpentafluoropropanes $\text{4}$. Alkenes $\text{1}$, where the para-substituent X  H,Cl,and CF₃ give additionally 1,2-diethoxy-1-phenyltrifluoropropenes $\text{5}$ and, where X = CF₃ also 2,2-diethoxy-1H-1-phenyltetrafluoropropane $\text{6}$. Overall regioselectivity of nucleophilic attack of the ethoxide ion on alkenes $\text{1}$ exhibits the Hammett type correlation with Ó_p values of substituents X: CH₃O and CH₃ groups favour the attack on the vinylic carbon C-1, while CF₃ and Cl substituents direct the attack on the C-2 carbon of alkenes $\text{1}$. The E and Z isomers of 1-ethoxy and 1,2-diethoxy substituted alkenes $\text{2}$ and $\text{5}$ were formed in comparable amounts, while the E isomers of 2-ethoxy substituted alkenes $\text{3}$ were always formed with a 93 – 97 % selectivity.     

The crystal structure of the 42-Å subcell of a layer structure with approximate composition Ba4Nb2S9

Platy crystals from the products of a mixture 4 Bas : 2 Nb : 5 S reacted at 1000°C have cell constants a = 13.754(3) Å, c = 83.73(2) Å, $\text{R}\text{3}\text{m}$. The reciprocal lattice had a pronounced subcell with dimensions a = 6.877(1) Å, c = 41.84(1) Å, same space group. Three dimensional X-ray diffraction data were collected using monochromatized Mo Kα radiation and of 5051 measured intensities 1892 were considered observed. From the set of observed intensities 611 reflections having all even indices were used to refine the crystal structure of the 42 × 7-Å subcell. The final R = 0.036 and ωR = 0.052 for the 611 observed amplitudes and R = 0.046, ωR = 0.052 for all 711 amplitudes of the subcell. The structure is based on the stacking of hexagonal BaS₃ layers with the sequence DABABDBCBCDCACAD. The D layer denotes a disordered level and occurs at $\text{z = 0,}\text{1}\text{3}$ and $\text{2}\text{3}$. The different letters for the ordered layers are based on the Ba positions in that layer. The Nb ions occupy octahedral interstices and form a unit of three face sharing octahedra parallel to c. The column is terminated above and below by disordered levels. The NbNb distances are 3.22 Å, causing displacement of Nb from the centers of the two outside octahedra. One Ba is in the center of a triangular orthobicupola formed by 12 S atoms. The other Ba is in the center of a hexagon of 6 S with 3 additional S above this layer forming $\text{1}\text{2}$ of a cuboctahedron. The lower half consists of a disordered layer of atoms. The NbS distances are 2.279, 2.433, and 2.683 Å; BaS distances vary between 3.1 and 3.5 Å. The subcell content based on the ordered structure only is Ba₁₂Nb₉S₃₆. The placement of disordered Ba and S at $\text{z = 0,}\text{1}\text{3}$, and $\text{2}\text{3}$ levels of the subcell leads to the unlikely composition Ba_16.5Nb₉S₄₂. The ordered structure most likely has a composition Ba₄Nb₂S₉, z = 36, so that the subcell composition should be Ba₁₈Nb₉S_40.5. The completely ordered structure has not been solved.     

A facile one-pot preparation of 2-methyl-and 2-phenyl-4- fluoro-5-trifluoromethyl-6-methoxypyrimidine from methyl 2-hydryl-2-(F-methyl)-F-propyl ether

The title compounds were readily prepared in one-pot by phase-transfer reaction of a methanol adduct of 2-($\text{F}$-methyl)-$\text{F}$- propene with acetamidine or benzamidine in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide in CH₂Cl₂. Various 5-trifluoromethyl- pyrimidines were also synthesized $\text{via}$ nucleophilic substitution of the 4-fluorine of the title compounds.     

Etude cristallochimique des phases de type perovskite du systeme Th0.25 NbO3NaNbO3

The compound Th_0.25 NbO₃ melts congruently at 1390°C. Single crystals obtained by slow cooling from the melt are transparent and show uniaxial optical properties. A single-crystal X-ray analysis confirms the tetragonal cell found by Kovba and Trunov from a powder data and gives a = 3.90 Å and c = 7.85 Å. No systematic absence of the hkl reflections is observed on precession films. The relative intensities of the main reflections are characteristic of a perovskite-like arrangement ABO₃ whose large dodecahedral A sites are only partly occupied. Several domains have been found in the perovskite-type solid solution (1 ? x) Th_0.25NbO₃-x NaNbO₃. For 0 ? x ? 0.5 the phases have a tetragonal cell with $\text{a ? a}{}_0$ and $\text{c ? 2a}{}_0$ as in pure Th_0.25 NbO₃. When 0.6 ? x ? 0.8 the corresponding phases crystallize with a small cubic cell ($\text{a}{}_0\text{? 3.9}$Å), while phases with 0.9 ? x ? 1 have an orthorhombic cell ($\text{a ? 2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{a}{}_0\text{, b ? 2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{a}{}_0\text{, c ? a}{}_0$).
