Perfluoroalkyl derivatives of nitrogen. Part LI [1]. Reaction of the N-halogenobistrifluoromethylamines (CF3)2NX (X=Cl,Br) with norbornadiene

Reaction of the amines (CF₃)₂NX (X=Cl,Br) with norbornadiene either in solvent (CH₂Cl₂) at ?78 °C in the dark or in the vapour phase at 20 °C in daylight gives a mixture of 3-halogeno-5-($\text{NN}$-bistrifluoromethylamino)nortricyclene ($\text{exo}$, $\text{endo}$-and $\text{exo}$, $\text{exo}$-isomers) and $\text{exo}$-5-($\text{NN}$-bistrifluoromethylamino)- $\text{anti}$-7-halogenonorbornene in quantitative yield formed $\text{via}$ halonium ion addition to the diene. The reaction of the amine (CF₃)₂NBr in solvent Me₂O or Et₂O at ?78 °C in the dark gives the same products in low yield, together with 3-bromo-5-alkoxynortricyclene ($\text{exo}$, $\text{endo}$- and $\text{exo}$, $\text{exo}$-isomers) and the amine (CF₃)₂NR (R=Me, Et) in high yield.     

Reaktionen an komplexgebundenen Liganden. XXXII.: Synthese und eigenschaften von heteronuklearen mangan-chrom-komplexen mit distickstoff- diazen- und hydrazin-brükenliganden

Synthesis and properties of C₅H₅(CO)₂Mn-N₂H₄-Cr(CC)₅$\text{(1)}$, C₅H₅(CO)₂Mn-N₂H₂-Cr(CO)₅$\text{(2)}$ and C₅H₅(CO)₂Mn-N₂-Cr(CO)₅$\text{(3)}$ are reported. $\text{(1)}$, $\text{(2)}$ and $\text{(3)}$ constitute the first series of heteronuclear complexes in which N₂, N₂H₂ and N₂H₄ are bound to identical metal centers. $\text{(1)}$ and $\text{(3)}$ are obtained by reacting C₅H₅Mn(CO)₂N₂H₄ respectively with Cr(CO)₅THF, $\text{(2)}$ by oxidation of $\text{(1)}$. $\text{(2)}$ disproportionates by addition of base yielding $\text{(3)}$ and H₂. The IR Spectrum of $\text{(2)}$ allows the assignment of five normal vibrations of the diazene ligand; in the IR spectrum of the deuterated analogue all six normal vibrations can be assigned. The ¹H-NMR spectrum of $\text{(2)}$ yields the coupling constant of protons on NN double bonds for the first time; the value of ³J_HH  23,5 Hz points to a trans structure of $\text{(2)}$.     

Methylated multibridged [2n]cyclophanes. All alternate synthesis of [26](1,2,3,4,5,6) cyclophane (superphane)

A sequence of formylation followed by a carbene insertion reaction has led to the stepwise introduction of additional ethano bridges into 4,5,7,8- tetramethyl [2₂](1,4)cyclophane ($\text{1}$), providing syntheses of 5,7,8-trimethyl- [2₃](l,2,4)cyclophane ($\text{6}$), a mixture of 5,8-dimethyl[2₄(1,2,4,5)cyclophane ($\text{10}$) and 5,7-dimethyl[2₄(1,2,3,5)cyclophane ($\text{11}$, and-4-methyl[2₅](1,2,3,4,5)-cyclophane ($\text{14}$). This route to $\text{14}$ completes a formal eight-step synthesis of [2₆](1,2,3,4,5,6)cyclophane ($\text{15}$, superphane) with an overall yield of 17%. A Birch reduction of $\text{6}$ readily gave 12,15-dihydro-5,7,8-trimethyl[2₃](1,2,4)-cyclophane ($\text{7}$) in 85% yield.     

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.     

Organomercury compounds XX Reactions of lithium polyfluorobenzenesulphinates with mercuric salts

The lithium polyfluorobenzenesulphinates, Li O₂SR (R = C₆F₅, $\text{p}$-HC₆F₄, $\text{m}$-HC₆F₄, or $\text{o}$-HC₆F₄), and the dilithium tetrafluorobenzenedisulphinates, $\text{p}$- and $\text{o}$-(LiO₂S)₂C₆F₄, have been prepared by reaction of the appropriate polyfluoroaryllithium compounds with sulphur dioxide. All compounds were isolated as hydrates and gave the corresponding $\text{S}$-benzylthiouronium salts on treatment with $\text{S}$-benzylthiouronium chloride. From reactions of the lithium sulphinates with suitable mercuric salts in water, generally at room temperature, the derivatives RHgX (R = C₆F₅, X = Cl, Br, CH₃CO₂, or PhSO₂; R = $\text{p}$-HC₆F₄, X = Cl, Br, or CH₃CO₂; R = $\text{m}$-HC₆F₄, X = Cl or Br; R = $\text{o}$-HC₆F₄, X = Cl), $\text{p}$-(XHg)₂C₆F₄ (X = Cl, Br, or CH₃CO₂), and $\text{o}$-(XHg)₂C₆X₄ (X = Cl or Br) have been prepared. Similarly, the bispolyfluorophenylmercurials R₂Hg (R = C₆F₅, $\text{p}$-HC₆F₄, or $\text{m}$-HC₆F₄) have been prepared from the corresponding lithium sulphinates and either mercuric salts or polyfluorophenylmercuric halides in aqueous $\text{t}$-butanol. A possible mechanism for the sulphur dioxide elimination reactions is discussed.     

Reactions of triphenylarsine oxide with aqueous hydrogen fluoride: Crystal structure of bis(triphenylarsine oxide)hydrogen(I) tetrafluoroborate

Fluorination of triphenylarsine oxide by aqueous hydrogen fluoride (1–40%) in the absence of glass readily gives triphenylarsine difluoride. When the reaction with dilute (1%) aqueous hydrogen fluoride is carried out in borosilicate glass apparatus, the glass participates in the reaction resulting in the formation of the crystalline 2:1 adduct 2Ph₃AsO·HBF₄. Crystals of this compound are monoclinic, $\text{P}$2₁/$\text{c}$, $\text{a}$ = 12.926(4), $\text{b}$ = 17.819(6), $\text{c}$ = 14.994(4) Å, β = 98.97(3)°, Z = 4. The structure contains cations [(Ph₃AsO)₂H]⁺ in which $\text{O}\text{?}$O is 2.44(2)Å, and anions BF₄^?.     

An unusual chlorination of 1-phenyl-4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-butadiene

The diene $\text{1a}$ reacted with CHCl₃/aq. NaOH/PTC in CH₂ Cl₂ unexpectedly to give a mixture of the chlorination products $\text{2}$ and $\text{3a}$. Usual chlorination with Cl₂ yielded similarly $\text{2}$, $\text{3a}$, and $\text{3b}$ dependent on the amount of Cl₂. The formation of $\text{2}$ as well as the reaction of $\text{7}$ to give $\text{9}$ (besides $\text{8}$) shows an unusual Cl-Cl-interaction.     

The optical absorption and emission spectra of Cs2NaSmCl6

Optical absorption and emission spectra are reported for single crystals of the cubic elpasolite Cs₂NaSmCl₆. The variable temperature spectra obtained at high resolution are assigned using energies and relative intensities. Transitions from the ground level, ⁶H_{$\text{5}\text{2}$} to cystal fi levels of ⁶H_{$\text{7}\text{2}$-$\text{15}\text{2}$}, ⁶F_{$\text{1}\text{2}$-$\text{11}\text{2}$}, ⁴G_{$\text{5}\text{2}$-$\text{9}\text{2}$}, ⁴F_{$\text{3}\text{2}$,$\text{5}\text{2}$}, ⁴I_{$\text{9}\text{2}$}, and ⁶P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$, $\text{5}\text{2}$} are located and characterized. Intensity calculations are reported for magnetic dipole allowed transitions. The dominance of vibronic intensity in ⁶H_{$\text{5}\text{2}$}→⁶F _{$\text{1}\text{2}$-$\text{9}\text{2}$} and ⁶P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$, $\text{5}\text{2}$} transitions is accounted for qualitatively through the ligand polarization model involving quadrupole metal (Sm³⁺)-ligand (Cl^?) interaction mechanisms. The E_u″(⁶H_{$\text{5}\text{2}$})→E′(⁶H_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}) E_u′(⁶F_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}) no-phonon transition is postulated to be pure electric quadrupole allowed. The ground state magnetic moment is determined to be very small from magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra.This study has led to the assignment of nearly all of the crystal field levels in the visible and IR region for Cs₂NaSmCl₆. A total of 27 such levels were identified, 17 from no-phonon transitions and the rest from vibronic transitions. The magnetic dipole intensity calculated using intermediate coupling O_h wavefunctions along with a crystal field analysis of the splitting pattern was used in the assignment of the levels. Vibronic bands were observed for all transitions and their vibrational symmetries were tentatively assigned. MCD data were used to determine the magnet moment of the ground state.     

Synthesis and chemistry of HC(SO2F)3 and cis- and trans(HO)2TeF4

HC(SO₂F)₃ has been prepared and characterized. It turned out to be a strong acid, comparable to mineral acids. In aqueous solution the salts of the type Cs⁺C(SO₂F)₃^? are formed. The anion, as found by crystal structure analysis contains planar CS₃ configuration.Quite in contrast to these findings HC(OSO₂F)₃ is not even soluble in water.Derivatives of HC(SO₂F)₃ have been prepared so far CH₃C(SO₂F)₃ FC(SO₂F)₃ ClC(SO₂F)₃ BrC(SO₂F)₃ JC(SO₂F)₃The heavier halogen derivatives ( Cl, Br, J ) are oxidizing agents (‘positive halogen’).A mixture of $\text{cis-}$ and $\text{trans-}$ (HO)₂TeF₄ is obtained if HOTeF₅ and Te(OH)₆ are melted together. The mixture of the isomeres have been transfered into the corresponding silylesters $\text{cis}$- and $\text{trans-}$ (R₃SiO)₂TeF₄, which could be separated by fractional crystallisation and distillation.Without conformational change the pure silylesters have been reacted back to pure $\text{cis}$- (HO)₂TeF₄ and $\text{trans}$- (HO)₂TeF₄ by means of anhydrous HF. Both $\text{cis-}$ and $\text{trans}$ (HO)₂TeF₄ have been reacted with ClF to give $\text{cis}$- and $\text{trans}$- (ClO)₂TeF₄, yellow liquids. The latter react with elemental bromine to the rather unstable $\text{cis-}$ and $\text{trans-}$ (BrO)TeF₄, red liquids.Starting with $\text{cis}$-(HO)₂TeF₄ and XeF₂ a polimer Xenon compound of the formula

All materials have been characterized by melting point and vapour pressure, 19 F - nmv spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.     

Reaction of 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin with 1,2-dibromoethane.crystal and molecular structures of 2,3-dihydro-6,6-diphenylimi-dazo-[2,1-b]-thiazol-5(6h)-one and 2,3-dihydro-5,5-diphenylimi-dazo-[2,-1-b]-thiazol-6(5h)-one and their reactivity

The crystal and molecular structures of the title isomeric compounds $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$, obtained by intramolecular N,S--dialkylation of 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin with 1,2-dibro-moethane, have been determined from X-ray diffractometer data. 2,3-Dihydro-6,6-diphenylimidazo-[2,1-b]-thiazol-5(6H)-one $\text{1}$ crystallizes in space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a=11.376(3), b=12,255(5), c=8.434(3) Å and Z=4. Crystals of $\text{2}$, containing one molecule of benzene, are monoclinic,space group P2₁/c with a=11.539(6), b=10.242(3), c=16.353(5) Å, β=95.45(5)° and Z=4. In both cases a planar geometry of the two fused five-membered heterocyclic rings was found. The selected bond lengths in $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$, as well as those analogous imidazothiazinones $\text{3}$ and $\text{4}$, were used to calculate E_HOSE (Harmonic Oscillation Stabilization Energy). The problem of stability and chemical reactivity of compounds $\text{1}$ to $\text{4}$ is also discussed.     

The oxidation of the benzotropylium cation

Oxidation of benzotropylium ($\text{1}$) fluoborate with Na₂O₂ and KO₂ gives the benzotropones, $\text{5}$ and $\text{6}$, as the major products with no naphthalene ($\text{9}$) or other ring contracted products formed. Oxidation with $\text{m}$-chloroperoxybenzoic acid produces a small amount of naphthaldehydes ($\text{10}$ and $\text{11}$) and even less naphthalene, a long with the benzotropones, while oxidation with H₂O₂ and $\text{t}$-butyl peroxyacetate gives slightly more of the ring contracted naphthaldehydes than benzotropones, in addition to a small quantity of naphthalene. All reactions produce some 1,2-benzotropilidene ($\text{8}$)     

Thermodynamics of metal-ligand bond formation: XVI. Base adducts of some organotin compounds

Thermodynamic data have been obtained by calorimetric titration in benzene solution at 30° for reaction of organotin compounds with Lewis bases; data are reported for forty acid/base systems.Ph₃SnCl forms $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts of low stability with pyridine (py) or 4-methyl-pyridine (4-mepy). Ph₂SnCl₂, Me₂SnCl₂, Bu₂SnCl₂ and Bu₂Sn(NCS)₂ form simultaneously $\text{1}\text{1}$ and $\text{1}\text{2}$ adducts with py or 4-mepy and $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); the enthalpies of formation of the phen adducts are similar to those of $\text{1}\text{2}$ adducts with 4-mepy. With BuSnCl₃ and PhSnCl₃ it was not possible to obtain data for each step in addition of pyridine or 4-mepy. Adduct stabilities increase with increasing chloride substitution and in the order Bu < Me < Ph; adducts of Bu₂Sn(NCS)₂ are more stable than those of Bu₂SnCl₂.Tributylphosphine does not react with Ph₃SnCl but gives $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts with the other tin compounds; only PhSnCl₃ adds a second molecule of this base. The $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts are more stable than those with heterocyclic bases. Tributylamine brings about disproportionation of the compounds R₂SnX₂ to R₄Sn and SnX₄NBu₃.

Stereospecific 2-vinylcyclohexanol formation via internal attack of an allylsilane moiety on an aldehyde group

Acid catalyzed cyclization of ($\text{E}$)-HCO-(CH₂)-₄-CH=C(Me)-CH(SPh)SiMe₃ affords $\text{cis}$-2-substituted cyclohexanol, while ($\text{Z}$) compound affords the $\text{trans}$ isomer. Those cyclized products are transformed to the corresponding α-methyl γ-lactones.     

Adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-(RP)- and (SP)-phosphoramidates,the first representatives of nucleoside cyclic 3′,5′-phosphoramidates derived from ammonia

Adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-phosphoramidate $\text{2}$ was synthesized by reacting adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-phosphate $\text{1}$ with POCl₃, in trimethyl phosphate for 1 h at O°C, followed by in situ treatment of the reaction mixture with a suspension of (NH₄)₂CO₃ in anhydrous DMF or pyridine or DMF/pyridine mixture for 30 min at 25° C. Diastereoisomers ($\text{R}$_P)-$\text{2}$ and ($\text{S}$_P)-$\text{2}$ the relative quantities of which depended on the solvent of (NH₄)₂CO₃ treatment, were separated by reversed phase partition chromatography. Hydrolysis of (R_P)-$\text{2}$ and (S_P)-$\text{2}$ proceeded with predominant (90% in 0.1 N HCl, 100% in 0.1 N NaOH) -P-O-C bond breaking.     

An electrochemical chlorinative ene-type reaction of isoprenoids

The chlorinative ene-type reaction of isoprenoids ( $\text{1}$ → $\text{2}$ ) has been performed by electrolysis in CH₂Cl₂-H₂O-NaCl system. The reaction provides useful allylic chlorides $\text{2}$ for terpene synthesis in high yields and is affected strikingly by the nature of halide ions and solvents. dl-Theaspirane $\text{2}$$\text{1}$ was prepared from α-dihydroionol $\text{via}$ the electrolysis.

Conformationally selective transannular cyclizations of humulene 9,10-epoxide. Synthesis of the two skeletally different cyclohumulanoids: dl-bicyclohumulenone and dl-africanol

Two cyclohumulanoids, dl-bicyclohumulenone ($\text{4}$) and dl-africanol ($\text{7}$ were synthesized through newly developed conformationally selective transannular cyclization of humulene 9,10-epoxide ($\text{2}$). The epoxide $\text{2}$ was converted to a bicyclohumulenediol diacetate $\text{3a}$ in 70% yield by treatment with BF₃·OEt₂-Ac₂O, while treatment of $\text{2}$ with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethansulfonate gave an africen-10-ol ($\text{5}$a and $\text{5}$b) in 80% yield. The two intermediates $\text{3a}$ and $\text{5a}$ furnished the natural products $\text{4}$ and $\text{7}$ in 30 and 8 % yield from $\text{2}$ respectively.
