Study of specific C-H...N intramolecular interactions in heteroaryl vinyl ethers,on the basis of factor analysis of1H and13C NMR spectral parameters

On the basis of a factor analysis of the¹H and¹³C NMR spectral parameters of the vinyloxy group in a broad series of aryl and heteroaryl vinyl ethers, it has been established that these parameters change mainly under the influence of the electronic effect of the aromatic fragment and specific C-H...N intramolecular interaction of the -hydrogen atoms of the vinyl group with an endocyclic nitrogen atom. It has been shown that the parameters most sensitive to the specific C-H...N. interaction are the chemical shifts of the -proton and -carbon of the vinyl group, and also the spin-spin coupling constant between these atoms.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, No. 10, pp. 2289–2297, October, 1991.

Aromatization reactions of some N-acyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines and isoquinolines

The proton and hydride lability of the -hydrogen atom in various -substituted N-acyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines and N-acyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinolines was investigated. It was shown that splitting out of both a hydride ion and an -substituent as carbanions is possible in the presence of strong electron-acceptor substituants in the position under the influence of electrophilic agents. A new transhetarylation reaction consisting in the migration of the heterocyclic residue from one compound with a labile hydrogen atom to another was found.Communication XVII of the series Reactions of Cyclic Ammonium Cations; see [1] for the previous communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 529–533, April, 1972.     

Transformed steroids. 104. The preparation of [16,17]oxazolidinones of 20-ketosteroids by intramolecular isomerization of 16,17α-N-carboethoxyepiminopregnenolone

Conclusions A new class of steroid compounds, namely, [16,17-d]oxazolidin-2-on-20-ketosteroids, was obtained by the intramolecular cyclization of the hydrazone of 16,17-N-carboethoxy-epiminopregnenolone which occurs by opening of the aziridine ring.Communication 103, see our earlier work [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2318–2322, October, 1979.     

Transformed steroids. 160. Reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β, 21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate and carbethoxyhydrazine

Conclusion The reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate in the presence of carbethoxyhydrazine proceeds by two competing paths: cisopening of the oxide ring by a -SCN ion at the C¹⁷ atom, and substitution of one of the methoxyl groups by -NCS ion. As a result 2,20-dicarbethoxyhydrazones of pregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one-[17,16-d]-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one and 20-methoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3-ol-[20,21-d]-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione are formed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 911–914, April, 1987.

Synthesis and1H NMR and13C spectroscopy of L-arabinopyranosyl biosides

Conclusions The 3-0- and 4-0-trityl ethers of the acetates of methyl -L- arid methyl -L-arabinopyranosides were synthesized. The glycosylation of the ethers with the aid of 3,4-di-0-acetyl-1,2-0-(1-exo-cyano)ethylidene--L-arabinopyranose and the subsequent deacetylation of the synthesized products yielded the disaccharides: methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-,methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, and methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)--L-arabinopyranoside; and methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, methyl 4-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)-, and methyl 3-0-(-L-arabinopyranosyl)--L-arabinopyranoside.The assignment of the signals in the PMR and¹³C NMR spectra of the synthesized arabinopyranosyl biosides was carried out, allowing the determination of the type and configuration of the glycosidic bond by means of which the arabinopyranose residues are linked in the oligo- and polysaccharide chains.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 200–209, January, 1986.     

Spectroscopic effects and intramolecular interactions in the1H and13C NMR spectra of five-membered N-vinyllactams

In 1-vinylpyrrolidone, 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-ones, 1,3-divinylimidazolidine-2-thione, and 1-vinylbenzimidazole-1-thione the vinyl groups exist predominantly in the s-trans-, but in 1-vinyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole-2-ones in the s-cis(0)-conformations relative to the exocyclic heteroatom. In 1-vinylbenzimidazole-2-ones, 3-vinylbenzoxazole-2-one, and 1-vinylindole-2,3-diones the vinyl group is present as a mixture of the s-cis(0)- and s-trans(0)-conformations. According to¹H and¹³C NMR results there are specific intramolecular interactions in 1-vinylpyrrolidone and in 1,3-divinylimidazolidine-2-thione resembling weak hydrogen bonding between the -hydrogen atoms of the vinyl group and the oxygen or the sulfur atom. In 1-vinylsuccinimide, 2-vinylphthalimide, and 1,3-divinyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole-2-one there is the same type of interaction with the -cis-hydrogen atom of the vinyl group, while in 1,3-divinyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-one there is interaction between the same hydrogen atom and the nitrogen atom.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1983–1990, September, 1990.     

Reaction of α-polynitroalkyl derivatives of sulfur and selenium with hydrogen halides and halide ions

Hydrogen halides (HCl and HF) react with -polynitroalkylsulfides and -polynitroalkylselenides as electrophilic or as nucleophilic reagents depending on the conditons, forming accordingly products of electrophilic or nucleophilic substitution at the -carbon atom. In contrast to this, halogen ions (Cl^–, F^–) always bond to the -carbon. The use of dipolar aprotic solvents and activators (Lewis acids or strong mineral acids) facilitates the formation of products of nucleophilic substitution at the -carbon.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2106–2111, September, 1989.

Transformed steroids 117. Synthesis of 5α-hydroxy-6-oxosteroids with a δ-lactone ring E

The paper is devoted to the synthesis of steroidal 5-hydroxy-6-oxolactones from ethyl esters of 5,6-dienic acids. By epoxidating the latter it has been shown that, in addition to the usual formation of 5,6-oxides, opening of the 16, 17-oxide ring initially formed takes place and this is accompanied by intramolecular cyclization to a 17,20-dihydroxy--lactone. The trans-opening of the 5,6-epoxide in the epoxy--lactone and subsequent oxidation with N-bromosuccinimide has led to a new representative of steroidal -lactones — the 23,16--lactone of the 3-acetate of 3, 5, 16, 17, 20-pentahydroxy-6-oxo-24-norcholan-23-oic acid.N.

Research on 1-aza two-ring systems

Reduction of 5-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-1,3-dihydropyrrolizines with lithium aluminum hydride gave 5-(-hydroxypropyl)-1,2-dihydropyrrolizines (in 70–90% yields), which have intramolecular -hydrogen bonds in dilute solutions. The parameters of the -hydrogen bonds were determined in the IR spectra, and their enthalpies were found. The data obtained (_OH 95–99 cm^–1, –H 3.05 kJ·mole^–1) show that among compounds with an aliphatic hydroxyl group and a system of electrons, 5-(-hydroxypropyl)-1,2-dihydropyrrolizines have some of the strongest intramolecular -hydrogen bonds.See [1] for communication XVI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 359–363, March, 1978.

Configuration of benzoylpyridineoximes studied by 1H and 13C NMR. Effect of protonation of the pyridine nitrogen atom

A simple and convenient method is proposed for determining the configuration of E,Z-isomers of 2-, 3-, and 4-benzoylpyridines. The difference in chemical shifts (, ppm) in the system CCl₄-DMSO-D₆ and CCl₄-DMSO-CF₃COOD for the -H atoms or the , -C atoms of the pyridine ring can be used to determine the configuration. The shift () of the -H signals to weak field is greater for the Z-isomers than for the E-isomers due to protonation of the pyridine nitrogen atom. The reverse dependence is seen in the ¹³C NMR for the E,Z-isomers. The signals of the -C atoms shift to stronger field after protonation.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1073–1077, August, 1990.     

Deuterium exchange reaction of ethylbenzene over an Fe2O3?K2CO3?Cr2O3 catalyst

Isotope exchange reaction of ethylbenzene with water or hydrogen has been examined over Fe₂O₃–K₂CO₃–Cr₂O₃ catalyst. The participation of the hydrogen attached to -carbon or phenyl group was observed. The exchange rate of the -hydrogen was compared for different alkylbenzenes and found that toluene was the most active, whereas cumene was inactive. This order suggested that the -hydrogen dissociated as a proton. -Adsorbed state was supposed as an intermediate of dehydrogenation, which dissociates the -hydrogen reversibly as a proton on a basic site. Including the results of exchange reaction of styrene, the overall route of dehydrogenation is discussed.     

Synthesis of α, α, ω-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl chlorophosphates by the reaction between α,α,ω-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl phosphites and sulfuryl chloride

Conclusions An efficient method for the synthesis of ,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl chlorophosphates is by reacting ,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl dichlorophosphites and bis-(,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl) phosphites with sulfuryl chloride. It has been found that in three-coordinated polyfluoroalkyl phosphites, the high electronegativity of the polyfluoroalkyl groups hinders cleavage of the latter on reaction with sulfuryl chloride, thereby facilitating the formation of oxidation products.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 146–149, January, 1988.

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.
