Influence de la structure sur l'hydrolyse des N-pyrrolylmethylene-2 anilines

Hydrolysis of the imine function of a series of Schiff bases derived from pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde and substituted anilines (X = H, p-OCH₃, p-OC₂H₅, p-CH₃, p-Cl, p-Br, m-CN, m-NO₂, p-NO₂) was studied in all of the pH ranges. The hydrolysis curves log k_abs (mn^?1) = f(pH) were established in buffered aqueous methanol by polarography or amperometry. The shapes of the curves obtained for pH > 5 indicates that N-pyrrolylmethylene-2 anilines hydrolyse according to the same mechanism as N-benzylidene anilines. The particular stability of these products for pH < 5 permits one to obtain complete hydrolysis curves in acid media. A very good Hammett correlation (k_obs = + 1,73) has been established from the maxima which appear for strong acidity. This stability is interpreted as due to the specific electron-donating effect of the pyrrole nucleus. The influence of the structural parameter X on the morphology of the curves log k_abs = f(pH) and on the hydrolysis mechanism of the imine function is discussed in all of the pH ranges.     

Study of substituted aryldiazonium salts and their crown ethers complexes by XPS

The complexes of fourteen substituted aryldiazonium salts RC₆H₄N₂+BF₄^? (R?H, p-CH₃, p-NO₂, p-I, p-Cl, p-F, m-Br, m-Cl. m-CH₃, o-CH₃, o-OCH₃, o-NO₂, o-Br, o-Cl) with crown ethers 18-C-6 (1) and dibenzo-24-c-8 (2) have been studied by XPS. The results show that the chemical shifts of α-N1s and β-N1s of substituted aryldiazonium salts are closely related to the induction and conjugation effects of R groups. It is interesting to note that charge transfer(β-N→O) take place upon complexation of substituted aryldiazonium salts with crown ethers. Therefore the decrease of binding energy of crown ether oxygen may be used as a measurement of the stabilities of these complexes.     

Weitere Evidenz für die mikroskopische Gleichzeitigkeit des Bruches zweier Bindungen bei einer E2-Reaktion: H-Isotopeneffekte und Substituentenwirkungen bei der Reaktion von 2,2-Diphenyläthyl-benzolsulfonat mit Methoxid-Ion

Second order rate constants are determined for the E2 reactions of 2,2-diphenyl-ethyl benzenesulfonates Ph₂C^xHCH₂O · O₂S–C₆H₄–X with CH₃ONa in methyl cellosolve solution (^xH = H or D, X = p-CH₃O, p-CH₃, H or p-NO₂). The HAMMETT ? values are of the same order of magnitude as those found in the first order solvolyses of methyl, ethyl or isopropyl benzenesulfonates. The primary deuterium isotope effects k_H/k_D are 5.27, 5.42 and 6.70 for X = p-CH₃O, H and p-NO₂. The ? values as well as the increase of k_H/k_D with introduction of p-NO₂ supply evidence for simultaneous C_αO and C_βH bond cleavages also in the E2 reactions of these compounds.     

Zum basenkatalysierten H/D-Austausch des acetylenischen Wasserstoffatoms in aromatischen Alkinylverbindungen

On the Base-Catalysed H/D-Exchange of the Acetylenic Hydrogen Atom in Aromatic Alkynyl Compounds H/D-exchange rates for a number of compounds of the general type 1 (X = p-CH₃O, m-CH₃O, p-CF₃, m-CF₃, p-CH₃, p-Cl, H; Z ? O, NH, CH₂) were determined in N-methyl-pyrrolidine (NMP)/D₂O mixtures at 25° (see Table 1). It is shown that the log k values of the H/D-exchange correlate nicely (r = 0.995) with the chemical shift of the acetylenic proton in 1 . Thus, the H/D-exchange rate is given by log k (min^?1) = 2.91 · δ (ppm) - 7.79 for the NMP/D₂O mixture at 25°.     

ESR study of the free radical intermediates formed during the electrolytic process: III. Electrooxidation of substituted anilines

Active free radicals formed by the electrooxidation of substituted anilines RC₆H₄NH₂ (R = H, p-Br, p-Cl, p-I, p-Me, p-COOH, p-MeCO, p-NO₂, m-CO₂H, and m-Cl) are trapped by spin trap 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane (MNP). A multiple ESR signal of the solution containing electrolytic aniline and MNP is identified with the spin adduct of MNP and radical cation 1 by theoretical simulation of observed spectrum. Furthermore, ESR spectra of para- or meta-substituted anilines give a reasonable explanation about spin adducts of MNP and the cation 2 or 3 by the same method.     

Preparation of Complexes of Nickel(II) Aryl Carboxylates with Morpholine and Piperidine

Complexes of nickel(II) aryl carboxylates with a general formula Ni(RC₆H₄COO)₂L₂ where R=H, p-CH₃. p-Cl, m- & p-NO₂; and L = morpholine and piperidine; have been prepared by the interaction of nickel(II) aryl carboxylates with a large excess of appropriate amine. Unlike parent anhydrous nickel(II) aryl carboxylates all these complexes are soluble in common organic solvents.     

An Efficient and Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of CIS-1-Acetyl-2-Aryl-6,6-Dimethyl-5,7-Dioxo-Spiro-[2,5]-4,8-Octadiones and β,γ-Trans-β-Acetyl-γ-Aryl-Butyrolactones

Acetylmethyltriphenylarsonium bromide 6 in the presence of potassium carbonate and trace water reacted with 2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxa-5-substituted-benzylidene-4,6-dione 2 at room temperature to give cyclopropane derivatives cis-l-acetyl-2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-5,7-dioxospiro-[2,5]-4,8-octadiones 7 (X=p-CH₃, p-Cl, H, p-NO₂) or β,γ-trans-β-acetyl-γ-aryl-γ-butyrolactones 8 (X=p-CH₃O, p-N(CH₃)₂, 3′,4′-OCH₂O-) with good yield and high stereoselectivity.     

Mesogenic behaviour of two series of orthopalladated polar inline derivatives and their organic ligands (II)

Abstract

One series of 4-n-octyl-N-(4-X-benzylidene)anilines and two series of polar orthopalladated complexes derived from these of type Pd₂(μ-Y)₂ p-X-C₆H₃-CH = N-C₆H₄-C₈H_{17 2}; X: -H, -F, -Cl, -Br, -NO₂, -CN, -CH₃, -OCH₃, -CF₃, -COOCH₃, -OCOCH₃ and -OCOQH₅; Y: -OAc and -Cl; have been synthesized and their mesogenic properties studied. In the polar Schiff bases used as organic ligands, the polar end group determines both the presence of the mesophase and the type of mesophase exhibited. In the complexes, however, it is the central structure of the molecule that practically always determines mesogenic behaviour. No acetato-bridged complex is mesogenic. All the chloro-bridged complexes, however, show mesogenic behaviour. All these compounds show smectic A mesophases with the exception of the CN compound, which only exhibits a nematic mesophase.     

Structure and reactivity of α,β-unsaturated ethers. V. Cationic copolymerizations of ring-substituted phenyl vinyl ethers

Phenyl vinyl ether (M₁) has been copolymerized with its various ring-substituted derivatives (M₂) in toluene at ?78°C with stannic tetrachloride as catalyst. The substituents investigated include p-CH₃O, m-CH₃O, p-CH₃, m-CH₃, p-Cl, and m-Cl. The course of copolymerization was followed by gas chromatographic determinations of residual monomers, and the monomer reactivity ratios were evaluated by use of the integral form of the Mayo-Lewis copolymerization equation. Except for the unusual case of the m-CH₃O derivative, the observed values of log (1/r₁) were found to be linearly correlated with Hammett's σ constants, the reaction constant being ρ = ?1.76 with the correlation coefficient r = 0.990. Comparisons of these results with the existing data for the styrene copolymerizations have enlightened the behavior of the oxygen atom in transmitting the electronic effects of ring substituents onto the reaction center.     

Effects of substituents on the anionic copolymerization of ring-substituted cinnamonitriles

trans-Cinnamonitrile (M₁) was copolymerized with several of its ring-substituted derivatives (M₂) in toluene at 25°C, calcium zinc tetraethyl being used as catalyst. The ring substituents investigated include H, p-CH₃O, m-CH₃O, p-CH₃, m-CH₃, p-Cl, and m-Cl. It was found that the values of log (1/r₁) are linearly correlated with Hammett's σ constants with the reaction constant σ ρ 0.7. The effects of coordination between monomer and catalyst sites upon the Hammett relation are discussed.     

Synthesis,photooxidation and Z ⇌ E photoisomerization of benzalpyrrolinones

In contrast to oxodipyrromethenes and bilirubin, benzalpyrrolinones (H, P-OCH₃, p-Cl, p-N(CH₃)₂ and o-CH₃) and α-pyridalpyrrolinones appear not to undergo dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation. They do, however, undergo an unsensitized E ? Z photoisomerization reminiscent of stilbene photoisomerization, and the photostationary state varies with substituent. Intramolecular H-bonding is implicated in the α-pyridalpyrrolinone isomerization. In each case, the Z isomers are the therrnodynamically more stable ones, but the corresponding E isomers have been isolated and characterized following photoirradialion.     

乙酰丙酮-5,10,15,20-四-取代苯基卟啉钇的制备和表征

The coordination compounds of acctylacetonate-5,10,15,20-tctrasubstituted phcnyl-porphyrin with Yttrium, Y(o-Cl)Tppacac, Y(m- Cl)Tppacac, Y(p-Cl)Tppacac, Y(o-CH₃O) Tppacac, and Y(p-CH₃O)Tppacac (H₂Tpp: tetraphcnylporphyrin, Hacac: acetylacctonc), were prepared and characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, infrared spectra, UV-visiblc spectra and thermal analysis.     

Paradoxes in Thermal Stability of the Liquid-Crystal Phase of Phenylpropargyl Phenyl Ethers: I. Synthesis and Mesogenic Properties of Phenylpropargyl Phenyl Ethers

The ethers PhCCCH₂OC₆H₃RR' were prepared in 51-83% yields by reactions of phenylpropargyl tosylate in alkaline solution with appropriate p- and o-substituted phenols. Below are given R, R', and the ranges of existence of the nematic mesophase (°C): p-I, H, 104-137; p-Cl, H, 65-117; p-F, H, 33-53; p-OMe, H, 79-120; H, H, 44-115; p-(Me)₃C, H, 74-82; p-COOH, H; p-NO₂, H, 77-96; o-NO₂, H, 83-139; o-CHO, H, 75-115; p-Br, o-NO₂, 95-132; p-Cl, o-NO₂, 71-123; p-F, o-NO₂, 79-120; o-Cl, H, none; p-COOPr, H, none; and p-COOPh, H, 116-134. In contrast to the traditional views, the presence of the o-nitro group enhances, rather than distorts, the thermal stability of the mesophase. The stability increases in parallel with the -R effect of the o-substituent.     

Catalytic decomposition of organic peroxides by 4,4′-diamino-trans-stilbene (DTS)/montmorillonite complex: II.p-nitro andp-methyl dibenzoyl peroxide

The kinetics of the induced decomposition ofp-NO₂- andp-CH₃-dibenzoyl peroxide in the presence of 4,4-diamino-trans-stilbene (DTS) were studied in ethanol under both homogenous and heterogeneous conditions. The heterogeneous reaction was carried out in the presence of the DTS/montmorillonite complex. The decomposition reaction was found to be second order and three-halves order for the peroxide concentration in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, respectively. The reaction was first order for the amine concentration in the homogeneous system. The activation energies for the decomposition reaction were obtained as 54.7±2 and 59.5±3 kJ mol^–1 forp-NO₂- andp-CH₃-dibenzoyl peroxides, respectively, in the homogeneous systems and are higher than the corresponding values of 41±1.5 and 47.6±1 kJ mol^–1 for thep-NO₂ andp-CH₃ derivatives in heterogeneous media.     

Organosilicon compounds : LI. Further studies of the base-catalysed solvolysis of N-(triorganosilyl)anilines

Relative rates of solvolysis of some N-triorganosilylanilines in mixtures of ethanol and aqueous potassium hydroxide have been determined, with results as follows. (i) For XC₆H₄NHSiEt₃ compounds in MeOH (5 vol) + aq. alkali (2 vol) at 50°: (X =) H, 1.0;p-Me, 0.80;p-OMe, 0.83;m-Me, 0.90; o-Me, 0.87; p-SMe, 1.90; p-F, 1.7; p-Cl, 2.8; o-Cl, 14; m-Cl, 4.2; m-NO₂, 18; p-CN, ca. 43; p-NO₂, ca. 120. (ii) For PhNHSi(C₆H₄Y)₃ compounds in MeOH (10 vol) + aq. alkali (1 vol) at 50°: (Y =) H, 1.0; p-OMe, 0.12; p-Cl, ca. 32; m-Cl, ca. 84. (iii) For PhNHSiR₃ compounds in MeOH (5 vol) + aq. alkali (2 vol) : (R₃ =) Et₃, 1.0; Et₂Me, 18 (at 30°); Me₂-i-Pr, 8 (at 30°);Me₂-t-Bu, 0.012 (at 50°);i-Pr₃, 0.006 (at 50°). In series (i) the relative rates correlate with σ, or where appropriate σ^?-constants, with a ? value of 1.6. It is suggested that in the transition state of the rate-determining step the OSi bond is fully formed, or almost so, the SiN bond approximately 20—50% broken, and the bond between the nitrogen atom and a proton from the solvent ca. 10—30% formed.     

Base-catalyzed isomerization of phenylpropenes

The prototropic rearrangement of 3-phenyl-1-propenes to the corresponding 1-phenyl-1-propenes was investigated in basic media utilizing 0.1M sodium ethoxide in absolute ethanol at 81°C. It was found that the effect of substituents on the rate of such isomerizations follows the order: p-NO₂ > o-Cl > m-Cl ≥ m-F > p-Br > o-CH₃ > m-CH₃ > m-CH(CH₃)₂ > p-CH(CH₃)₂ ≥ p-C(CH₃)₃ > o-OCH₃. This is consistent with first-order kinetics and “BS” mechanism. Quantitative treatment in terms of Hammett's equation showed a straight line, with a slope (p value) of +2.25. An increase in the strength of the base was also found to cause an increase in the rate of isomerization.     

Reactions of aromatic compounds with nucleophilic reagents in liquid ammonia: XVII. Effect of ionic association on the orientation in aryloxydefluorination of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene

The analysis of dependence of fluorine replacement orientation in 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene effected by nucleophiles Y-C₆H₄OM (Y =p-OMe,p-Me,m-Me, H,p-F,p-Cl,m-F,m-Cl; M = Li, Na, K, Et₄N, Bu₄N) in liquid ammonia medium at -35‡C on the nature of M, Y, on nucleophile concentration, on addition of crown ethers, diaminoalkanes, and dimethoxyethane indicates the occurrence of ionic association at M = K, Na. For communication XVI, see [1].     

Reactions of palladium(II) cyclometallated benzylideneaniline Schiff's bases. Some relative rates for the synthesis of ortho-substituted carbomethoxy derivatives via CO insertion

The synthesis and characterisation of the complexes [(p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH($\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_3\text{Y))P}$d(OAc)]₂ (II) are reported. These complexes react at very different rates with carbon monoxide in methanol to give the ortho-substituted esters, p-CH₃C₆H₄NCHC₆H₃Y - 2R, R = CO₂CH₃, with electron withdrawing Y substituents slowing the reaction. The ¹³C{¹H} data for II show a linear correlation of δ(C(2)) in the 5′-complexes (Y trans to PdC) with δ(C(4)) of monosubstituted benzene compounds. For Y = 5′-NO₂, 4′-NO₂ and 4′-Cl, the bis complex [{p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH(

is formed in a secondary reaction.     

Photosynthesis-inhibiting effects of 2-benzylsulphanylbenzimidazoles in spinach chloroplasts

Inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach chloroplasts by nineteen 2-benzylsulphanylbenzimidazoles (BZA) was studied. BZA were found to inhibit photosynthetic electron transport (PET) and for their inhibitory efficiency, electronic properties of the R substituent on the benzyl moiety are decisive. The PET inhibiting activity of the studied BZA expressed as IC50 varied in the range from 28.5 ??M (R = 3,5-(CF₃)₂) to 394.5 ??M (R = 2,4-(NO₂)₂). For compounds with R = H, 4-CH₃, 3-CH₃, 3-OCH₃, 4-F, 3-F, 4-Cl, 3-Cl, 2-Cl, 4-Br, 3-Br, 3,4-F₂, 3,4-Cl₂, 3-CF₃, 3,5-(CF₃)₂ linear increase of the inhibitory activity with the increasing value of the substituent??s ?? constant up to 0.86 was observed. Further increase of the ?? constant resulted in a sharp activity decrease of the corresponding compounds (R = 2-F-6-Cl, 2-NO₂, 3,5-(NO₂)₂, 2,4-(NO₂)₂). Using EPR spectroscopy and an artificial electron donor diphenyl carbazide it was found that the site of BZA action in the photosynthetic apparatus is situated on the donor side of PS 2, prior to the Z^·/D^· intermediate.     

Cis-trans isomerization of styrylpyrroles by stray light

A series of substituted N-methylstyrylpyrroles (H, p-Br, p-CN, o,p-diCl, m-CH₃, m-CN, m-NO₂) were prepared via the Wittig reaction of 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde and substituted benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromides. Both cis and trans isomers were found to be present in the reaction mixture and they were separable by column chromatography in a few cases (H, p-Br, m-CN, m-NO₂). Photochemical isomerizations of cis-styrylpyrroles to trans isomers were observed when the substituents were o,p-diCl and m-NO₂, while the opposite was the case with compounds having H, p-Br, m-CH₃, m-CN. It was difficult to separate the cis and trans mixture of p-cyanostyrylpyrroles and the equilibrium ratio did not change under similar photochemical reaction conditions.
