Polarographische Untersuchungen an symmetrischen Triazacarbocyaninen in Methanol

Polarographic Investigations on Symmetrical Triazacarbocyanine Dyes in Methanol The reduction mechanism of eleven symmetrical triazacarbocyanine dyes with different heterocycles in methanol (containing lithium chloride or lithium acetate/acetic acid) has been investigated by means of polarography, cyclic oscillopolarography and coulometry. The reduction occurs in a reversible to irreversible two electron transfer step, followed by an irreversible chemical step. Reduction potentials, transfer coefficients and specific currents have been measured and compared with properties measured in acetonitrile. The effect of substituents X has been studied on the compounds 1-ethyl-2-[3-(1-ethyl-6-X-1,2-dihydroquinolin-2-ylidene)-1-triazeno]-6-X-quinolinium tetrafluoroborate 1f(X) and 3-ethyl-2-[3-(3-ethyl-5-X-Δ⁴-1, 3-thiazolin-2-ylidene)-1-triazeno]-5-X-1, 3-thiazolium tetrafluoroborate 1g(X) , and ρ-values of 0.20 and 0.40 V, respectively, have been found.     

Electrochemical reduction of a bridging imide: generation of ammonia at a dimolybdenum tris(mu-thiolate) site

The electrochemical reduction of the imide complex [Mo2(cp)2(mu-SMe)3(mu-NH)]+ (1+) has been investigated in THF and MeCN electrolytes by cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential electrolysis and coulometry. In the absence of free protons, the electrochemical reduction produces the amide derivative [Mo2(cp)2(mu-SMe)3(mu-NH2)] (2) after consumption of 1 Fmol(-1) of 1+. In THF in the presence of acid, the reduction of 1+ occurs through a two-electron process. The presence of acid also results in the shift of the equilibrium between 1+ and amide dication 2(2+) (MeCN electrolyte) or induces an isomerisation of the imide ligand (THF electrolyte). This allows the electrolysis to be conducted at a potential 600 mV less negative than the reduction potential of 1+. Controlled-potential electrolyses in the presence of acid (2 equiv HTsO) produce the ammine derivative. Ammonia is released from these compounds either by coordination of the solvent (MeCN electrolyte) or by the binding of chloride to the ammine-tosylate complex (electrolyses in THF in the presence of acid and chloride). The final products, isolated almost quantitatively (>95%), are [Mo2(cp)2(mu-SMe)3(MeCN)2]+ and [Mo2(cp)2(mu-SMe)3(mu-Cl)], respectively.     

Zur Synthese sulfonierter Derivate von 4-Amino-1,3-dimethylbenzol und 2-Amino-1,3-dimethylbenzol

Syntheses of Sulfonated Derivatives of 4-Amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene and 2-Amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene Direct sulfonation of 4-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene (1) and sulfonation of 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 4 ) to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-6-sulfonic acid ( 3 ) followed by reduction yield 4-amino-1,3-dimethylbenzene-6-sulfonic acid ( 2 ). The isomeric 5-sulfonic acid ( 5 ) however is prepared solely by baking the acid sulfate salt of 1 . Reaction of sulfur dioxide with the diazonium chloride derived from 2-amino-4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 7 ) leads to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonyl chloride ( 8 ), which is successively hydrolyzed to 4-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 9 ) and reduced to 4-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 6 ). Treatment of 4-amino-6-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 12 ) and 4-amino-6-chloro-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 13 ), the former obtained by reduction of 4-chloro-6-nitro-1,3-dimethyl-benzene ( 10 ) and the latter from 4-chloro-6-nitro-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 11 ), with oleum yield 4-amino-6-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 14 ) and 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid ( 15 ) respectively; subsequent carbon-halogen hydrogenolyses of 14 and 15 lead also to 6 (Scheme 1). Baking the acid sulfate salt of 2-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene ( 17 ) gives 2-amino-1, 3-dimethylbenzene-5-sulfonic acid ( 16 ), whereas the isomeric 4-sulfonic acid ( 18 ) can be prepared by either of the following three possible pathways: Sulfonation of 2-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 20 ) to 2-nitro-1,3-dimethylbenzene-4-sulfonic acid ( 21 ) followed by reduction or sulfonation of 2-acetylamino-1,3-dimethylbenzene ( 19 ) to 2-acetylamino-1,3-dimethylbenzene-4-sulfonic acid ( 22 ) with subsequent hydrolysis or direct sulfonation of 17 . Further sulfonation of 18 yields 2-amino 1,3-dimethylbenzene-4,6-disulfonic acid ( 23 ), the structure of which is independently confirmed by reduction of unequivocally prepared 2-nitro- 1,:3-dimethylbenzene-4,6-disulfonic acid ( 24 )(Scheme 2).

Study of caged bicyclic phosphorus: I. 1-Oxo-4-substituted-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2]-octane and its reaction

1-Oxo-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2]octane ( 1 ) is oxidized by concentrated nitric acid to the corresponding acid 2. From the reaction of the acid chloride 3 with various phenols and aryl amines two series of new bicyclophosphates 4 and 5 have been prepared. The reduction of 4b with iron powder in HOAC gave the O→N acyl-migration product 4s. The crystal structure of 4n was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Reduction of copper(II) complexes of tridentate ligands by nitric oxide and fluorescent detection of NO in methanol and water media

Two copper complexes, 1 and 2, with tridentate N-donor ligands, L(1) and L(2) [L(1)= (1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl)-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)amine, L(2) = (2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-pyridin-2 yl-methylamine] respectively, have been synthesized and characterized. On exposure to nitric oxide, the copper(II) centers in complexes 1 and 2 were found to undergo reduction in various solvents. In acetonitrile solvent the reduction was accompanied by a simultaneous N-nitrosation on the secondary amine center on the ligand frameworks. Complexes 3 and 4 were prepared with ligands L(3) and L(4), respectively. L(3) and L(4) [L(3) = 5-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl)-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-amide; L(4) = 5-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amide] are the dansyl derivatives of L(1) and L(2), respectively. Complex 4, due to paramagnetic quenching, does not display any fluorescence; however, on addition of nitric oxide to a methanol or water solution of complex 4, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore has been found to be restored. This is attributed to the reduction of the Cu(II) center by nitric oxide to diamagnetic Cu(I). The turn-on of quenched fluorescence intensity has been observed both in methanol and water media.

The parent framework of furo[2,3-c]pyridine has been synthesized. 3-Furoic acid chloride ( 2 ) was reduced with bis(triphenylphosphine) copper(1) tetrahydroborate to afford 3-furaldehyde ( 3 ) which was condensed with malonic acid to give β-(3-furyl)acrylic acid ( 4 ). The acrylic acid 4 was converted to the acid azide ( 5 ), which in turn was cyclized to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-one ( 6 ) by heating at 180° in diphenylmethane. The pyridone 6 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 8 ).     

Base-catalysed reduction of pyruvic acid in near-critical water

The reduction of pyruvic acid in near-critical water has successfully been conducted under conditions of various temperatures, pressures, reaction time and the presence of formic acid as the reducing agent. In this work, additives (K₂CO₃, KHCO₃, and sodium acetate) used in the reduction of pyruvic acid were also investigated. The results showed that by adding K₂CO₃ (25 mole %) a markedly higher lactic acid yield (70.7 %) was obtained than without additives (31.3 %) at 573.15 K, pressure of 8.59 MPa, 60 min, and in the presence of 2 mol L^?1 formic acid. As a base catalyst, K₂CO₃ definitely accelerated the reduction of pyruvic acid. The reaction rate constants, average apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor were evaluated in accordance with the Arrhenius equation. The reaction mechanism of the reduction was proposed on the basis of the experimental results.
