A benign initiating system for cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether: Silver salt/aryl(alkyl) halide/lewis base

Aryl(alkyl) halides and silver salts were studied as environmentally benign initiating systems for cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE). The reactivity of the benzyl cations could be effectively controlled by using dimethyl sulfide (Me₂S) as an additive, which was shown to be an effective Lewis base (LB), and diethyl ether as a reaction solvent. Detailed study of various benzyl cations and the order of addition of the reagents revealed that the reaction was controlled by the electronic and steric features of aryl(alkyl) halides, LBs, and IBVE, and a plausible reaction mechanism was presented. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Potential constants and Coriolis coupling constants of perhalogenated ethylenes: Part 3. trans-ClFC=CFCl, trans-ClBrC=CBrCl and trans-FBrC=CBrF

Based on vibrational frequencies a calculation of a general quadratic force field has been carried out for trans-ClFC=CFCl, trans-ClBrC=CBrCl and trans-FBrC=CBrF via an iterative method. The resulting transformation L matrices were used to evaluate the Coriolis coupling constants and these were used to calculate inertial defects. The calculated values of the inertial defects are lower than those of the respective cis-ethylene-type molecules.     

Reaction of Orthometallated Perfluorocumyl Alkoxides with Sulfinyl Derivatives: Synthetic and Mechanistic Aspects

Abstract

The reaction of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(p-tert-butyl)phenyl-2-propanol with n-butyl-lithium/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) provides dilithioderivative 1b, which, upon reaction with thionyl chloride, gave cyclic and acyclic sulfites 3 and 4 as precursors of the sulfurane 2b with simultaneous formation of cyclic sulfinate 5. This ester was utilized for the preparation of asymmetrical spirosulfuranes 7 or ortho-perfluorocumylaryl(alkyl) sulfoxides 8. Attempts to obtain it as an optically active species are also mentioned.     

Synthesis of Alkyl-Aryl Ethers by Copper-catalyzed Etherization Reactions of Aryl Fluorides with Tetraalkylammonium Bromides and H2O

Synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers via copper‐catalyzed etherizations of electron‐deficient aryl fluorides with quaternary ammonium bromides and water has been developed. In the presence of Cu(OAc)₂, POPh₃ ( L4 ) and Cs₂CO₃, a variety of electron‐deficient aryl fluorides underwent the reaction with quaternary ammonium bromides and H₂O in moderate to good yields. The mechanism was also discussed.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization,and biological evaluation of imidazole‐substituted pyridine‐2‐amine and benzo‐substituted imidazole‐2‐amine

A series of new imidazole‐substituted pyridine‐2‐amine and benzo‐substituted imidazol‐2‐amine 3 – 12 were synthesized by treating various amines 1(a – d) with alkyl/aryl isothiocyanate 2(a‐c) at 60–90°C in isopropyl alcohol without using any catalyst with high yields. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were characterized using IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C), mass, and elemental analyses. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities to understand their biological potency. All the title compounds exhibited good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in vitro when compared to the standard drugs.     

ipso-and para-Functionalization of meta-terphenyl ligands with substituted methyl groups: Unusual head-to-tail coupling of terphenyl moieties

The synthesis and characterization of several ipso-functionalized derivatives of the bulky terphenyl group are described. These include the primary alcohol Ar′CH₂OH (1), the bromo derivative Ar′CH₂Br (2), and the terphenyl formate Ar′CH₂OC(O)H (3). The alcohol 1 was obtained by treatment of LiAr′ with formaldehyde, and 1 was readily converted to the bromo derivative 2 using HBr. The reaction of 1 with formic acid afforded 3 in good yield. Attempts to form the Grignard derivative of 1, i.e., Ar′CH₂MgBr, resulted in a head-to-tail reaction of the terphenyl benzyl units to yield an unusual coupled product 4. An approach to the avoidance of this coupling involved the synthesis of the terphenyl derivatives and , bearing methyl groups in the para positions of the central aryl ring, which could be prepared in good yield, and converted to their respective lithium salts 7 and 8 without complication . The compounds were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy (1) and X-ray crystallography (2, 4, 5 and 6).     

烷基对羰基反应性能影响的CNDO／2研究

对于碳-氧双键和亲核试剂的加成反应,由于负离子进攻为反应速度决定步骤,人们普遍认为羰基的反应性能主要取决于碳原子上的正电荷量,正电荷愈多亲核试剂愈易加成,全部反应也愈易进行。并认为酮的羰基的亲电能力比醛弱,这是由于酮的羰基和2个烃基相结合,如为烷基,具有给电子作用,则增加羰基碳原子电负性,降低其亲电能力。

Trisodium heptaphosphide in reactions with alkyl and aryl tosylates

Reactions of trisodium heptaphosphide with alkyl tosylates gave dialkylheptaphosphides or trialkylheptaphosphines, depending on the stoichiometric ratios of the starting reagents. A method for determination of the coupling constants of the asymmetric isomer of trialkyl-heptaphosphines was proposed. Reactions of the heptaphosphide trianion with aryl tosylates yielded disodium hexadecaphosphide. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Utilizing 2‐phenylpropanal as coupling partner for C‐S bond formation via sequential thioarylation and decarbonylation process: A novel strategy for the synthesis of aryl alkyl sulfides

In this study, first direct access to aryl alkyl sulfides employing 2‐phenylpropanal as coupling partner is reported. Diaryl disulfides react with this aldehyde in the presence of morpholine and produce the corresponding sulfide products in high yields. In another part, disulfides are in situ generated in the reaction mixture from aryl halides/CuI/Cyanodithioformate and coupled with 2‐phenylpropanal to access aryl alkyl sulfides.     

A simple one-pot synthesis of hydroxylated and carboxylated aryl alkyl sulfides from various bromobenzenes

A simple one-pot synthesis of aryl alkyl sulfides from various bromobenzenes containing a hydroxy, hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, and carboxylic acid group at -o, -m, and -p positions is reported here. The reaction proceeds through, in sequence, in situ protection of the hydroxy or carboxylic acid group by reaction with a Grignard reagent, lithium-halogen exchange, the formation of lithium thiolates, and the nucleophilic attack of lithium thiolates on various electrophiles without isolation of the thiolates, in one vessel. This procedure required a very short reaction time (1-1.5 h) and gave the corresponding sulfides in 75-97% yields.     

The ground and excited state electron affinities of cytosine and trans-azobenzene

The electron capture detector, reduction potential, electron transfer and photon methods of determining electron affinities are compared. The adiabatic electron affinities are (in eV): t-azobenzene(O₂), 1.578(5); t-azobenzene, 1.378(5); cytosine, 1.043(5) from anion photoelectron spectra. The largest or ground state value for trans-azobenzene and an excited state electron affinity for cytosine, 0.70 eV are also determined by reduction potentials. Other excited state energies are (in eV): t-azobenzene, 0.328(5), 0.589(5), 0.690(5), 0.768(5), 0.954(5), 1.038(5), 1.150(5), 1.275(5) and cytosine, 0.089(5), 0.098(5), 0.198(5), 0.235(5). The cytosine values are consistent with electron transport and radiation damage and repair in DNA.
