The thiolate anion as a nucleophile Part IX. Reactions of some fluoroaromatics

The reactions of some halogenoaromatic compounds, mainly fluoroaromatics C₆F_xH_6-x with the methanethiolate anion have been studied in DMF or an HMPA/THF mixture. Complete replacement of fluorine occurred forming C₆(SMe)_xH_6-x. Attempts to prepare C₆(SEt)₆ and compounds such as C₆(SEt)₂(SMe)₄ are described.

Reactions of pyridinium and isoquinolinium phenacylides with nucleophiles

The hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrazinolysis of N-phenacylpyridinium bromide lead to the corresponding benzoic acid derivatives. In addition, 3,6-diphenylpyridazine is formed during hydrazinolysis. The hydrolysis and alcoholysis of N-phenacylisoquinolinium bromide lead to its dimerization, whereas hydrazinolysis gives a triazinoisoquinoline derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 372–374, March, 1976.

Reactions of alkyl diazoacetates with pyridinium ylides

Pyridinium (methoxycarbonyl)methylide generated from (methoxycarbonyl)methyl-pyridinium halides under the action of K₂CO₃ reacts with alkyl diazoacetates in CH₂Cl₂ at 20 °C, resulting in the successive addition of three CHCOOMe fragments from the ylide to form 3,6-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-4,5-diazaoctadienoic acid diesters. Heating of the latter in the presence of pyridine leads to their isomerization to give tetraalkyl tetrahydropyridazine-tetracarboxylates in high yields. Under more drastic conditions (refluxing xylene in the presence of pyridine), the acyclic tetraesters undergo another transformation to form pyrrole-tetracarboxylic acid esters in yields of up to 60%.

Reactions of N-substituted pyridinium carbamoylmethylenides with ethyl arylidenecyanoacetates

Condensation of pyridinium N-alkyl-, N-cycloalkyl-, N-benzyl-, and N-phenethylcarb-amoylmethylenides with ethyl arylidenecyanoacetates stereoselectively gives 4,5-trans-1-alkyl-, 4,5-trans-l-cycloalkyl-, 4,5- trans-1-benzyl-, and 4,5-trans-1-phenethyl-4-aryl-3-cyano-6-oxo-5-(3-R-1-pyridinio)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-olates. However, pyridinium N-arylcarb-amoylmethylenides react with the same esters without ring closure, yielding Michael adducts, viz., ethyl 3-aryl-4-(N-arylcarbamoyl)-2-cyano-4-(1-pyridinio)butyrates.     

Reactions of isoquinoline derivatives with pyridinium salts yielding 4-naphthylpyridines

Regiospecific introduction of the 2-naphthyl residue into position 4 of the pyridine ring occurs in the reactions of isoquinolinium salts with 4-methylpyridinium salts through the intermolecular transformation of the isoquinoline bicyclic system involving the methyl group of the pyridinium salt. The reaction occurs under the action of methylammonium sulfite in an aqueous medium on heating. This method provides ring transformation not only for isoquinolinium salts but even for unsubstituted isoquinoline.     

Reactions of hydrated electrons with pyridinium salts in aqueous solutions

Rate coefficients for the reactions of the hydrated electron (e(aq)(-)) with pyridinium salts in aqueous solutions have been determined using pulse radiolysis techniques. The rate coefficients for pyridine, 1-hydropyridinium chloride, and 1-hydropyridinium nitrate were observed to be 1.4 x 10(10), 4.5 x 10(10), and 5.3 x 10(10) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The e(aq)(-) was found to primarily attack the pyridine ring, the proton coordinated to the nitrogen atom, and the nitrate counterion, but not the chloride. Results for the corresponding dimer structures of 4,4'-dipyridyl, 1,1'-dihydro-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride, and 1,1'-dihydro-4,4'-bipyridinium dinitrate had similar trends for e(aq)(-) attack sites. The rate coefficients for pyridinium salts were lower when the pyridinium nitrogen atom is coordinated to a methyl group rather than to a proton. This reduction is probably due to the increase in electron density of the pyridine ring due to the electron-donating methyl group. Pyridinium salts are not major contributors to the production of molecular hydrogen in the radiolysis of aqueous solutions and actually decrease molecular hydrogen yield due to scavenging reactions of the e(aq)(-). The yield of molecular hydrogen decreases from 0.45 to approximately 0.2 molecule/(100 eV) over the scavenging capacity range for the e(aq)(-) of 10(5)-10(9) s(-1). Absorption spectra of the transient species produced by the reactions of pyridinium salts with OH radical and H atom formed in water radiolysis were observed, and rate coefficients for these reactions were determined.     

Reactions of pyridinium or isoquinolinium ketene dithioacetals with aromatic N-imines and S-imines

Reactions of ketene dithioacetals, 1-[1-substituted 2,2-bis(methylthio)ethenyl]pyridinium 1a-i or -isoquinolinium 2a,b iodides with aromatic N-imines, 1-aminopyridinium 3a-1,1 -aminoquinolinium ( 4 ), and 2-amino-isoquinolinium ( 5 ) mesitylene sulfonates gave the corresponding 2-methylthioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 9a-k , 2-methylthiopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 11a-q , 2-methylthioimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives 10a,b and 2-methylthiopyrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline ( 12 ). The benzoyl compounds, 1-[1-benzoyl-2,2-bis(methylthio)ethenyl]-pyridinium iodides 1g,h,i reacted with N-imine 3a to give the 3-benzoyl-2-methylthioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 9h-k . The reaction of pyridinium ketene dithioacetals 1a,f,g (R¹ = COOE_t, COPh, and CN) with substituted pyridinium N-imines having an electron-withdrawing group on the pyridine ring afforded only the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives 11j-r in good yields. Reactions of ketene dithioacetals with various S-imines are also described. Possible mechanisms for the formation of 9 and 11 are described.     

Charge-transfer interaction of some pyridinium salts with hen egg-white lysozyme

The charge-transfer interaction of pyridinium salts with lysozyme and L-tryptophan has been investigated by visible absorption, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Four quaternized and substituted pyridinium salts were used as electron acceptors. L-tryptophan was used as a model compound of electron donor for the purpose of the comparison with lysozyme. The binding constants obtained from absorption and circular dichroism spectra were 2.0–13 M^–1 and the sequence of the magnitude was found as EPCl(1-ethylpyridinium chloride) < MPCl(1-methylpyridinium chloride) < MNCl(1-methylnicotinamide chloride) < MNMCl(1-methyl-3-carbomethoxypyridinium chloride), which could be explained by the electron affinity of the pyridinium salt. The fluorescence spectra of lysozyme and L-tryptophan in the absence and presence of pyridinium salts were interpreted by Stern-Volmer plot. The static constants thus determined were in agreement with the binding constants obtained by other methods.

Reactions of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium activated pentachloropyridine with nitrogen nucleophiles and hydride

Substitution reactions on 2′,3′,5′,6′-tetrachloro-4-dimethylamino-[1,4]bipyridinyl-1-ylium chloride with nitrogen nucleophiles such as n-propylamine, isopropylamine, glycine, morpholine, and piperidine were examined. Highly functionalized Cl²,Cl³,N⁴,Cl⁵,Cl⁶- and N²,Cl³,N⁴,Cl⁵,Cl⁶-substituted pyridines were obtained, in part possessing unsubstituted 4-amino groups due to dealkylation. Detailed NMR studies were performed in order to elucidate the regiochemistry of these dealkylations.     

Fluoroalkene chemistry: Part 3. Reactions of arylthiols with perfluoroisobutene, perfluoropropene and chlorotrifluoroethene

Reactions of perfluoroisobutene (PFIB), perfluoropropene (PFP) and chlorotrifluoroethene (CTFE) with benzenethiol and 2-methoxybenzenethiol in acetonitrile, with potassium carbonate as base, were compared. PFIB reacted with benzenethiol to give ketene thioacetal (CF₃)₂CC(SAr)₂ and with 2-methoxybenzenethiol to give mono- and bis-vinyl species (CF₃)₂CCFSAr and (CF₃)₂CC(SAr)₂. PFP reacted with both thiols to give the addition product CF₃CFHCF₂SAr and vinyl isomers CF₃CFCFSAr (6:1 E/Z ratio). CTFE reacted with several methoxy-substituted arylthiols to give addition products of structure CFClHCF₂SAr. The arylthiols used throughout the study imitate biological thiols. Inhalation toxicities of the fluoroalkenes decrease in the order PFIB > PFP > CTFE and correlate with their reactivities towards the model thiols, supporting the current view that their toxicity relates to their ability to react with biological thiols.     

Reactions of triethylgermylpentafluorobenzene with some electrophilic agents

Triethylgermylpentafluorobenzene C₆F₅GeEt₃ reacts with CF₃SO₃H, HSO₃Cl, Me₃SiOSO₂Cl, chlorine, bromine, Cl₂/AlCl₃, or Br₂/AlBr₃ with cleavage of the C_aryl Ge bond. Cesium fluoride promotes electrophilic degermylation of C₆F₅GeEt₃, possibly via the intermediate formation of a tetraorganylfluorogermanate.
