Investigations of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

Heating 3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline with phosphorus oxychloride gave a mixture of isomeric 3-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and 2-(chloromethyl)-benz[g]indoline, which are converted to a mixture of 3-benzoyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo-[h]quinoline and 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline on reaction with potassium benzoate. Saponification of 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline gave 2-(hydroxymethyl)benz[g]indoline. The reaction of the isomeric chloro derivatives with potassium cyanide gave 2-(benz[g]-indolinyl)acetonitrile.See [1] for communication IX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 362–366, March, 1972.     

Investigation of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

5,6-Dichlorobenzo[f]quinoline is formed by the action of thionyl chloride on 3-hydroxy-5-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline hydrochloride. 7-Chlorobenzo[f]quinoline and 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline are obtained in good yields by heating 3-hydroxy-7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinoline with orthophosphoric acid, while benzo[f]quinoline is also obtained by heating it with polyphosphoric acid.See [1] for communication VII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 108–111, January, 1971.     

A study of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

The halogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and of 3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and its O-benzoyl and N,O-dibenzoyl derivatives has been studied. The action of thionyl chloride or bromide on 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline at room temperature gives 6-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and 6-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline. When 6-chloro-3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline is heated with thionyl chloride, aromatization of the tetrahydropyridine ring takes place, and when 6-bromo-3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline is heated with thionyl chloride, in addition to the aromatization of the tetrahydropyridine ring the bromine atom is replaced by a chlorine atom with the formation of 6-chlorobenzo[h]quinoline. 6-Bromobenzo[h]quinolme has been obtained by heating 3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline with thionyl bromide.For Communication IV, see [6].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii.Vol. 6,No.7, pp. 969–973, July, 1970.     

Investigation of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

The action of hydrogen halides on 7a,8-dihydro-7H-azirino[1,2-]benz[g]indole gives 2-halomethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indoles and 3-halo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines, which were converted to the corresponding N-nitroso derivatives and then to the isonitroso derivatives. 2-(Benzoxymethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indole hydrohalides were obtained by heating 1-benzoyl-2-halomethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indoles. The reaction of 3-halo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines with thionyl chloride at room temperature gives 3-halo-6-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines, while refluxing with thionyl chloride gives 6-chlorobenzo[h]quinoline.See [1] for communication XVI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 342–346, March, 1973.     

Mechanism of the conversion of inverted CB[6] to CB[6

Inverted cucurbit[n]urils (iCB[n]) form as intermediates during the synthesis of cucurbit[n]urils from glycoluril and formaldehyde in HCl (85 degrees C). Product resubmission experiments establish that the diastereomeric iCB[6] and iCB[7] are kinetic products that are less stable thermodynamically than CB[6] or CB[7] (>2.8 kcal mol(-1)). When iCB[6] or iCB[7] is heated under aqueous acidic conditions, a preference for ring contraction is noted in the formation of CB[5] and CB[6], respectively. Interestingly, under anhydrous acidic conditions ring size is preserved with iCB[6] delivering CB[6] cleanly. To establish the intramolecular nature of the iCB[6] to CB[6] conversion under anhydrous, but not aqueous, acidic conditions we performed crossover experiments involving mixtures of iCB[6] and its (13)C=O labeled isotopomer (13)C(12)-iCB[6]. An unusual diastereomeric CB[6] with a M?bius geometry (13) is proposed as a mechanistic intermediate in the conversion of iCB[6] to CB[6] under anhydrous acidic conditions. The improved mechanistic understanding provided by this study suggests improved routes to CB[n]-type compounds.     

Synthesis of tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazines: tuning the cavity by the substituents on the bridging nitrogen atoms

[Structure: see text] A number of tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazines bearing different substituents on the bridging nitrogen atoms were synthesized efficiently using a fragment coupling strategy. The N-arylation of the parent azacalix[2]arene]2]triazine afforded tetra(arylaza)calix[2]arene[2]triazine in 91% yield. The introduction of different substituents on the bridging positions led to the regulation of the cavity of the resulting macrocyclic molecules.     

Influence of Amide Connectivity on the Hydrogen-Bond-Directed Self-Assembly of [n.n]Paracyclophanes

Reported here is the synthesis and self-assembly characterization of [n.n]paracyclophanes ( [n.n]pCps , n=2, 3) equipped with anilide hydrogen bonding units. These molecules differ from previous self-assembling [n.n]paracyclophanes ( [n.n]pCps ) in the connectivity of their amide hydrogen bonding units (C-centered/carboxamide vs. N-centered/anilide). This subtle change results in a ≈30-fold increase in the elongation constant for the [2.2]pCp -4,7,12,15-tetraanilide ( [2.2]pCpNTA ) compared to previously reported [2.2]pCp -4,7,12,15-tetracarboxamide ( [2.2]pCpTA ), and a ≈300-fold increase in the elongation constant for the [3.3]pCp -5,8,14,17-tetraanilide ( [3.3]pCpNTA ) compared to previously reported [3.3]pCp -5,8,14,17-tetracarboxamide ( [3.3]pCpTA ). The [n.n]pCpNTA monomers also represent the reversal of a previously reported trend in solution-phase assembly strength when comparing [2.2]pCpTA and [3.3]pCpTA monomers. The origins of the assembly differences are geometric changes in the association between [n.n]pCpNTA monomers—revealed by computations and X-ray crystallography—resulting in a more favorable slipped stacking of the intermolecular π-surfaces ( [n.n]pCpNTA vs. [n.n]pCpTA ), and a more complementary H-bonding geometry ( [3.3]pCpNTA vs. [2.2]pCpNTA ).     

Investigation of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

The ethyl group of 3-hydroxy-6-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline is chlorinated and the tetrahydropyridine ring is aromatized under the influence of thionyl chloride. The corresponding 6-alkylbenzo[h]quinolines and 6-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines are formed when 3-hydroxy-6-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines are heated with polyphosphoric acid at 200–205°C, but only 6-alkylbenzo[h]quinolines are formed at up to 270°.See [1] for communication VIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1403–1406, October, 1971.     

Effects of fluorine on the structures and energetics of the propynyl and propargyl radicals and their anions

[reaction: see text] The adiabatic electron affinity (EA(ad)) of the CH(3)-C[triple bond]C(*) radical [experiment = 2.718 +/- 0.008 eV] and the gas-phase basicity of the CH(3)-C[triple bond]C:(-) anion [experiment = 373.4 +/- 2 kcal/mol] have been compared with those of their fluorine derivatives. The latter are studied using theoretical methods. It is found that there are large effects on the electron affinities and gas-phase basicities as the H atoms of the alpha-CH(3) group in the propynyl system are substituted by F atoms. The predicted electron affinities are 3.31 eV (FCH(2)-C[triple bond]C(*)), 3.86 eV (F(2)CH-C[triple bond]C(*)), and 4.24 eV (F(3)C-C[triple bond]C(*)), and the predicted gas-phase basicities of the fluorocarbanion derivatives are 366.4 kcal/mol (FCH(2)-C[triple bond]C:(-)), 356.6 kcal/mol (F(2)CH-C[triple bond]C:(-)), and 349.8 kcal/mol (F(3)C-C[triple bond]C:(-)). It is concluded that the electron affinities of fluoropropynyl radicals increase and the gas-phase basicities decrease as F atoms sequentially replace H atoms of the alpha-CH(3) in the propynyl system. The propargyl radicals, lower in energy than the isomeric propynyl radicals, are also examined and their electron affinities are predicted to be 0.98 eV ((*)CH(2)-C[triple bond]CH), 1.18 eV ((*)CFH-C[triple bond]CH), 1.32 eV ((*)CF(2)-C[triple bond] CH), 1.71 eV ((*)CH(2)-C[triple bond]CF), 2.05 eV ((*)CFH-C[triple bond]CF), and 2.23 eV ((*)CF(2)-C[triple bond]CF).

PM10, PAHs (benzo[a]anthracene (BaA), benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[j]fluoranthene (BjF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), indeno[1, 2, 3-cd]pyrene (Ip), dibenzo[a, h]anthracene (DbA)) and heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, Co, Mn, Cd, Fe and Pb) were investigated. PM10 determination was performed by gravimetric method, PAHs were measured by GC-MS, and heavy metals by HPIC. An air quality monitoring campaign on the territory of Bari municipality has been organised, and its results are shown.     

Reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography for the separation of peptide hormone diastereoisomers

Diastereoisomers of specifically labeled oxytocin derivatives were resolved using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The peptides [1-hemi-DL-[alpha-2H]cystine]oxytocin, [6-hemi-DL-[alpha-2H]cystine]oxytocin, [2-DL-[alpha-2H]tyrosine]oxytocin and[8-DL-[2-13C]leucine]oxytocin were readily separated using the conditions described. The diastereoisomers of the oxytocin analog [3-DL-[2-13C]leucine]oxytocin also demonstrated baseline resolution under the same conditions. The procedure offers the investigator a rapid method for screening synthetic oxytocin peptides for undesirable diastereoisomeric by-products.     

Structural effects on the electronic properties of extended fused-ring thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine analogues

The synthesis and characterization of the extended thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine analogues acenaphtho[1,2-b]thieno[3,4-e]pyrazine (3a), 3,4-dibromoacenaphtho[1,2-b]thieno[3,4-e]pyrazine (3b), 3-octylacenaphtho[1,2-b]thieno[3,4-e]pyrazine (3c), dibenzo[f,h]thieno[3,4-b]quinoxaline (4), and thieno[3',4':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline (5) are reported. Comparison of structural, electrochemical, and photophysical properties to those of simple thieno[3,4-b]pyrazines are provided in order to provide structure-function relationships within this series of compounds.     

Effect of the glutaraldehyde derivatives of Calix[n]arene as cross-linker reagents on lipase immobilization

Synthesis of the glutaraldehyde derivatives calix[n]arene (n = 4,6,8) (Calix[n]-GA) and using as cross-linkers for immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) have been discussed in this paper. The amino functional calix[n]arene derivatives (Calix[n]-NH ₂) were synthesized via reduction of dinitrile, hexanitrile and octanitrile derivatives of calix[n]arenes. These amino functional calix[n]arene derivatives (Calix[n]-NH ₂) were converted to their aldehyde derivativatives with glutaraldehyde. The calix[n]arene derivatives were used in lipase immobilization in order to see the role of calix[n]arene binding site on the lipase activitiy and stability. The activity recovery of calix[n]arene-supported lipases (Calix[n]-CRL) based on the Calix[4]-CRL, Calix[6]-CRL and Calix[8]-CRL reaches to 53.5, 66.1 and 76.4%, respectively.     

Self-assembly and characterization of cyano-bridged bimetallic [Ln-Fe] and [Ln-Co] complexes (Ln = La, Pr, Nd and Sm). Nature of the magnetic interactions between the Ln(3+) and Fe(3+) ions

Two structural series, including seven isomorphous heterodinuclear complexes, [Ln(DMSO)4(H2O)3(mu-CN)M(CN)5].H2O ([La-Fe] (1), [Pr-Fe] (2), [Pr-Co] (3), [Nd-Fe] (4), [Nd-Co] (5), [Sm-Fe] (6) and [Sm-Co] (7)), and seven isostructural 2-D stair-like cyano-bridged bimetallic assemblies, [Ln(DMSO)2(H2O)(mu-CN)4M(CN)2]n ([La-Fe]n (8), [Pr-Fe]n (9), [Pr-Co]n (10), [Nd-Fe]n (11), [Nd-Co]n (12), [Sm-Fe]n (13) and [Sm-Co]n (14)) (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide), have been rationally prepared by a facile approach, a ball-milling method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The isomorphous structures, in conjunction with the diamagnetism of the Co(3+) and La(3+) ions, allow an approximation to the nature of coupling between the iron(III) and lanthanide(III) ions in the Ln(3+)-Fe(3+) complexes. The Ln(3+)-Fe(3+) interaction is ferromagnetic for the dinuclear [Pr-Fe] (2), [Nd-Fe] (4), and [Sm-Fe] (6) systems and for the 2-D [Pr-Fe]n (9), [Nd-Fe]n (11), and [Sm-Fe]n (13) assemblies.     

Excision of the

The synthesis of new molybdenum cluster selenocyanide anionic complexes [Mo6Se8(CN)6]7- and [Mo6Se8(CN)6]6- is reported. The [Mo6Se8(CN)6]7- ion was obtained by excision of the cluster core [Mo6Se8] from a Chevrel phase in the reaction of Mo6Se8 with KCN at 650 degrees C; the [Mo6Se8(CN)6]6- ion is formed by oxidation of [Mo6Se8(CN)6]7-. New cluster salts K7[Mo6Se8(CN)6] x 8H2O (1) and (Me4N)4K2[Mo6Se8(CN)6] x 10H2O (2) were isolated and their crystal structures were solved. Compound 1 crystallizes in the cubic space group Fm3m (a=15.552(2) A, Z=4, V=3761.5(8) A3), compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (a=11.706(2), b=11.749(2), c=12.459(2) A, alpha=72.25(1), beta=77.51(1), gamma=63.04(1), Z=1, V=1448.5(4) A3). Compound 1 is paramagnetic due to an availability of 21 electrons per Mo6 cluster; cyclic voltammetry reveals a quasi-reversible transition [Mo6Se8(CN)6]7- <--> [Mo6Se8(CN)6]6-, E1/2=0.63 V.     

High-performance Liquid Chromatography Study of the Nitration Course of Tetrabutoxycalix[4]arene at the Upper Rim:Determination of the Optimum Conditions for the Preparation of 5,11,17-Trinitro-25,26,27,28-tetrabutoxycalix[4]arene

A selective nitration of calix[4]arene at the upper rim in one pot process was described by monitoring the time dependence of the distribution of products by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The discrimination of five nitrated products was accomplished by molecular symmetry considerations and ¹H NMR analysis. As a result, unusual 5,11,17‐trinitrocalix[4]arene ( 2d ) was obtained in 57% isolated yield. 5,11‐Dinitro‐calix[4]arene ( 2b ) and 5,11,17‐trinitrocalix[4]arene ( 2d ) with tetranitrocalix[4]arene 2e were further characterized by crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, as an example of potential application, trinitrocalix[4]arene 2d could be converted to triaminocalix[4]arene 3d conveniently.

p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene complexes of molybdenum and tungsten: reactivity of the calixarene methylene C-H bond and the facile migration of the metal around the phenolic rim of the calixarene

p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene, [CalixBut(OH)4], reacts with Mo(PMe3)6 and W(PMe3)4(eta2-CH2PMe2)H to yield compounds of composition {[CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]M(PMe3)3H2} which exhibit unprecedented use of a C-H bond of a calixarene methylene group as a binding functionality in the form of agostic and alkyl hydride derivatives. Thus, X-ray diffraction studies demonstrate that, in the solid state, the molybdenum complex [CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]Mo(PMe3)3H2 exists as an agostic derivative with a Mo...H-C interaction, whereas the tungsten complex exists as a metallated trihydride [Calix-HBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H3. Solution 1H NMR spectroscopic studies, however, provide evidence that [Calix-HBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H3 is in equilibrium with its agostic isomer [CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H2. Dynamic NMR spectroscopy also indicates that the [M(PMe3)3H2] fragments of both the molybdenum and tungsten complexes [CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]M(PMe3)3H2 migrate rapidly around the phenolic rim of the calixarene on the NMR time scale, an observation that is in accord with incorporation of deuterium into the methylene endo positions upon treatment of the isomeric mixture of [CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H2 and [Calix-HBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H3 with D2. Treatment of {[CalixBut(OH)2(O)2]W(PMe3)3H2} with Ph2C2 gives the alkylidene complex [CalixBut(O)4]W=C(Ph)Ar [Ar = PhCC(Ph)CH2Ph].
