Substitution at C-4 in 3,5-disubstituted 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones

3,5-Diaryl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones react with NaBH₄ to give the 3,5-diaryl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ols and with MeLi to give 4-methyl-3,5-diaryl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ols. The latter dehydrate with p-toluenesulfonic acid to give (3,5-diarylthiadiazin-4-ylidene)methanes. (3,5-Diphenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)methane 15 suffers mono bromination with NBS to give bromo(3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)methane 17. Dichloro- and dibromo(3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)methanes 18 and 19 are formed directly from the 3,5-diphenylthiadiazin-4-one 9 via the Appel reaction using Ph₃P and CCl₄ or CBr₄, respectively. 3,5-Diarylthiadiazin-4-ones treated with P₂S₅ give 3,5-diarylthiadiazine-4-thiones that react with tetracyanoethylene oxide to give the (thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles. Finally, the 3,5-diphenylthiadiazine-4-thione 20 reacts with ethyl diazoacetate to give ethyl 2-(3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)acetate 26. The above reactions show that a variety of substitutions at C-4 of 3,5-diaryl substituted 1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones can be achieved, which extends the potential applications of this heterocycle. All compounds are fully characterized and a brief comparison of their spectroscopic properties is given.     

Hyperfine structure studies in the mixed configurations (4p 2 4d+4s 4p 4) of arsenic

The magnetic hyperfine structures of some levels of the 4p ² 4d configuration which mixes strongly with the 4s 4p ⁴ configuration, have been measured for the first time, using the Fabry-Perot technique in the far UV range. A good agreement is observed between experimental results and theoretical evaluations.     

The 4s 24p 3-4s4p 4 transition in AsI-like AgXV

Some terms of the 4s4p ⁴ configuration in RuXII, RhXIII and PdXIV ions can be improved and all the energy values of the configuration in AgXV can be predicted theoretically by means of a configuration-interaction ab initio analysis for the level structure of the 4s4p ⁴ configuration along the AsI sequence of KrIV-AgXV ions. Calculations of the wavelengths and oscillator strenghts are presented for the 4s ²4p ³-4s4p ⁴ transition in AgXV.     

Hyperfine structure in the configurations4f 4 6s 2 and4f 4 5d 6s of Nd I

The high resolution laser-atomic-beam technique was used to investigate the hyperfine structure in Nd I 4f ⁴6s ^{2 5} I,⁵ F,⁵ S and 4f ⁴5d6s ⁷ L,⁷ K,⁷ I,⁷ H. The metastable states were populated by an arc discharge burning in the atomic beam. The measured hyperfine constantsA andB of the levels of 4f ⁴6s ² and 4f ⁴5d6s allow a parametric analysis to be performed using the effective tensor operator formalism. The experimental radial integrals of the 4f and 5d electrons fit with those of the other lanthanides. The 4f radial integrals are in agreement with values of optimized Hartree-Fock-Slater calculations. The spectroscopic quadrupole moments of¹⁴³Nd and¹⁴⁵Nd are deduced from the 4f parameters:Q _I =?0.610(21) b and ?0.314(12) b, respectively. TheQ _I resulting from the 5d parameter are in satisfactory agreement with these values. The hyperfine anomaly due to thes electron in 4f ⁴5d 6s amounts to about 1%.     

The electronic structure of FeO 4 2− , RuO4, RuO 4 − , RuO 4 2− and OsO4 by the HFS-DVM method

The electronic structures of FeO ₄ ^2? , RuO₄, RuO ₄ ^? , RuO ₄ ^2? and OsO₄ have been investigated using the Hartree-Fock-Slater Discrete Variational Method. The calculated ordering of the valence orbitals is 2t ₂, 1e, 2a ₁, 3t ₂ andt ₁ with thet ₁ orbital as the highest occupied. The first five charge transfer bands are assigned as:t ₁→2e(v ₁), 3t ₂→2e(v ₂),t ₁→4t ₂(v ₃), 3t ₂→4t ₂(v ₄) and 2a ₁→4t ₂(v ₅). It is suggested that ad-d transition should be observed at 1.5 eV in RuO ₄ ^? and RuO ₄ ^2? .     

4-Tetraphenyl-and 4-tetraphenoxy-substituted meso-tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrins. Synthesis and spectral properties

The reactions of 4-phenyl-and 4-phenoxyphthalimide with benzoic acid in the presence of zinc(II) oxide gave zinc complexes of meso-tetraphenyltetra(4-phenylbenzo)porphyrin and meso-tetraphenyltetra(4-phenoxybenzo)porphyrin, respectively, and the latter were treated with hydrochloric acid to isolate the corresponding metal-free prophyrins. Spectral properties of the complexes and ligands were studied.     

Synthesis of 4-(2-hydroxyaryl)-3-nitro-4H-chromenes

A combinatorial library of 4-(2-hydroxyaryl)-3-nitro-4H-chromenes was synthesized in high yield by C4-SMe substitution in N-alkyl/phenyl 4-(methylthio)-3-nitro-4H-chromen-2-amines with a variety of phenols. The reaction always provided C2 substitution in the phenol ring, dictated by hydrogen bond interactions between the phenolic hydroxyl group and the nitro group in 3-nitro-4H-chromenes. Reduction of the nitro group with concomitant hydrolysis of the enamine in 4-(2-hydroxyaryl)-3-nitro-4H-chromenes with Zn, Ac₂O in AcOH furnished hybrid amino-acid lactone incorporating ortho-tyrosine and phenyl alanine moieties.     

Practical syntheses of 4-fluoroprolines

4-Fluoroprolines are among the most useful nonnatural amino acids in chemical biology. Here, practical routes are reported for the synthesis of the 2S,4R, 2S,4S, and 2R,4S diastereomers of 4-fluoroproline. Each route starts with (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline, which is a prevalent component of collagen and hence readily available, and uses a fluoride salt to install the fluoro group. Hence, the routes provide process-scale access to these useful nonnatural amino acids.     

Preparation of 4-nitrostyrene

The interaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with SOCl₂ and P₄O₁₀ has been studied. In the reaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with SOCl₂ a mixture of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-chloroethane, 1,1′-bis-(4-nitrophenyl)diethyl ether, and 4-nitrostyrene (yield 21%) has been formed. The direction of reaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with P₄O₁₀ in toluene has been affected significantly by the order of reagents addition and the solution concentration. 4-Nitrostyrene has been obtained in the only case: the addition of P₄O₁₀ to diluted solution of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol and subsequent refluxing. Also the procedure of 4-nitrostyrene preparation via the cleavage of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl nitrate with alkoxy anion in the alcoholic solution has been upgraded.     

Ion-solvent interactions: Conductance behavior of NaAlBu4 and Bu4NAlBu4 in benzene and tetrahydrofuran

Conductance measurements are reported for NaAlBu ₄ and Bu ₄ NAlBu ₄ in benzene and in tetrahydrofuran (THF) from a concentration of approximately 5×10^?3 M to the fused state for each salt. This is the first reported study where a comparison of a salt with a small cation is made with one having a large cation in a noncomplexing solvent (benzene) and a complexing solvent (THF). The similarity in conductance behavior in THF and the differences in benzene are considered in terms of ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions.     

Hyperfinestructure-investigations in the mangan I configurations 3d 5 4s 4p and 4s 5s

Nine transitions (ranging from 475 till 733 nm) between the excited configuration 3d ⁵ 4s 5s and 3d ⁵ 4s 4p of⁵⁵Mn were investigated with computer supported interference spectroscopy. Thus the hyperfine structure (hfs) of the four 4s 5s and the twelve 4s 4p levels is now completely known from experiment. The hfs results are discussed with the effective operator technique and for 4s 4p the accuracy of the one-electron parametersa ^ik could be improved:a _3d ¹⁰ =?6.28(24),a _4s ¹⁰ =154.0(1.4),a _4p ⁰¹ =9.3(8),a _4p ¹² =7.7(2.5) in mK. For the configuration 4s 5s — for which fine structure calculations are not yet available — the experimental hfs data prove a practically pureS-character. Besides the one-electron splitting parameters deduced:a _3d ¹⁰ =?6.5(5),a _4s ¹⁰ =182(3),a _5s ¹⁰ =24(3) in mK, permit to determine the degree of mixing between the twoe ⁶ S _5/2 andf ⁶ S _5/2 levels which amounts to about 3%.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and magnetic properties of K4Mn3(HPO4)4(H2PO4)2

A new layered compound, K₄Mn₃(HPO₄)₄(H₂PO₄)₂ (1), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 8.874(2) Å, b = 6.554(1) Å, c = 18.075(4) Å, and β = 93.39(3)°. The structure consists of zigzag [Mn₃O₁₄]_n chains of edge-sharing MnO₆ octahedrons and MnO₇ pentagonal bi-pyramids, which form layers of formula [Mn₃(HPO₄)₄(H₂PO₄)₂]^4? in the ab plane via H₂PO₄ and HPO₄ units with vertex-sharing. Potassium ions lie between these layers. Magnetic measurements indicate Curie–Weiss behavior above 6 K for 1. A Heisenberg model, with alternating exchange interactions J₁J₁J₂… within the chain and exchange interactions J₃J₃… between the chains, is proposed to describe the magnetic behavior.     

Synthesis of 2-(4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles

The base-free TiCl₄-mediated condensation of 3,5-disubstituted-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones 8 with malononitrile affords 20 difficult to access (3,5-disubstituted-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles 7. The reaction tolerates 3,5-diaryl, diphenoxy, dimethoxy and diphenylthio substituted thiadiazinones, but not diamino, monohydroxy or dihalo substituents. Nevertheless, asymmetrically substituted 3-halo-5-phenyl- and 3-chloro-5-methoxy-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones convert into the corresponding ylidenemalononitriles in good yield. Furthermore, the condensation works well with ethyl cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate, but not with Meldrum's acid, dimedone or nitromethane. Finally, 2-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitrile (7q) reacts with aniline to give 4,7-diphenyl-6-(phenylimino)-6,7-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-5-carbonitrile (12) in moderate yield demonstrating the potential use of these ylidenes to prepare novel 6–5 fused 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazines.     

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one

4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate is synthesized using manganese(III)acetate starting from 2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one. K₂CO₃ mediated hydrolysis of 4-oxo-3,4-dihdro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate furnished 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in high yield.The enantioselective hydrolysis of (±)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate in various organic solvent-phosphate buffer (pH7) systems and enantioselective transesterification of (±)-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in organic solvents was investigated by screening a range of lipases. The lipase Amano PS, PPL, PLE and CCL-catalyzed asymmetric ester hydrolysis and transesterification afforded the enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one and 4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate with high enantiomeric excess (up to 97% ee) and in good yields.

Study of the ionic conductivity of Ca6La4(PO4)2(SiO4)4F2 and Ca4La6(SiO4)6F2

In order to enhance our knowledge about the Ca_10−xLa_x(PO₄)_6−x(SiO₄)_xF₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 6) series, whose chemical stability decreases as the substitution degree increases, Ca₆La₄(PO₄)₂(SiO₄)₄F₂ and Ca₄La₆(SiO₄)₆F₂ compounds were prepared through a solid-state reaction. Their ionic conductivity was measured by impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that the conductivity increases with substitution, and fits the Arrhenius equation over the investigated temperature range. At high temperatures, a change in the activation energy has been observed, which has been related to the nature of the Ca/La–F bond, i.e. to the polarizability of lanthanum.     

Synthesis and structure of N-(4-dialkylaminophenyl)hexafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone 4-imines

The reaction of heptafluoro-1-naphthol with N,N-dialkyl-p-nitrosoanilines or N,N-dialkyl-p-phenylenediamines in the presence of HIO₃ gave the corresponding polyfluorinated N-aryl-1,4-naphthoquinone 4-imine derivatives which exist in solution as equilibrium mixtures of Z and E isomers. 2,3,5,6,7,8-Hexafluoro-N-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone 4-imine in crystal has exclusively the Z-isomer structure.     

Investigation of structural states in the series MGaSiO4, MAlGeO4, MGaGeO4 (M = Na,K)

MGaSiO₄, MAlGeO₄, and MGaGeO₄ phases (M = Na, K) have been synthesized using flux, hydrothermal, and melt growth techniques and characterized by TEM and single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The K compounds crystallize with a (2√3A, C) hexagonal unit cell which is a superstructure of the (A, C) hexagonal kalsilite (KAlSiO₄) cell. The room-temperature polymorphs of the Na compounds crystallize with a (√3A, 3A, C, γ ⋍ 90°) monoclinic cell and are isostructural with beryllonite (NaBePO₄). TEM data suggest that they transform to a kalsilite-like (√3A, C) hexagonal cell at high temperature.

The mechanisms of formation of the condensates2 and3 and their stereochemistry are discussed. The reaction yielding2 is analogous to the condensation of dimedone with subsequent anhydride formation.3 might be generated byDiels-Adler reaction of intermediately formed 2-thioxo-3-alkylidenethiopyranones4. An X-ray crystal structure analysis was carried out on3 b to establish its configuration and conformation.
