Cationic polymerization of 1,3-dioxepane in the presence of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butanol

Cationic polymerization of 1,3-dioxepane (DOP) initiated by triflic acid was carried out in the presence of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butanol (BHMB). The structure and molecular weight of the products were characterized by GPC and NMR spectra. The results showed that molecular weight of the polyacetal obtained could be controlled by the initial mole ratio of DOP/BHMB. GPC showed that as the mole ratio of BHMB/DOP increased, the content of cyclic oligomers also increased. Proton, ¹³C and 2D HMQC-fg NMR demonstrated that no hydroxymethyl group of BHMB appeared as an end group. It was also illustrated by proton NMR that some BHMB units existed in cyclic oligomers. The mechanism of formation of cyclic oligomers was discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 2899–2903, 1998

Synthesis of new macrocyclic aminomethylphosphines based on 4,4"-diaminodiphenylmethane and its derivatives

The reaction of bis(hydroxymethyl)phenylphosphine with 4,4"-diaminodiphenylmethane in DMF afforded 1,1",5,5"-bis[methylenedi(p-phenylene)]di(3,7-diphenyl-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane) (1) whose structure was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Sulfurization and oxidation of macrocyclic tetraphosphine 1 gave rise to products 2 and 3, respectively, compound 3 being obtained as a stable hexahydrate.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Singly,Doubly, and Triply Bridged Derivatives of Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene with Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) Ether and 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol

Abstract

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, N₃P₃Cl₆ (1), with 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol (2), and bis(2-hydroxyethyl) ether (3) have been previously reported. Although both reactions gave the expected spiro, ansa, and bridged type products, open-chain and triply bridged derivatives from both systems and singly bridged derivatives from 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol (2) were not isolated, and doubly bridged compounds were only detected in trace amounts in both systems. However, in a subsequent reinvestigation in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, the reaction of 1 with the diols 2 and 3 gave the open chain compounds N₃P₃Cl₅[O(CH₂)₂CMe₂OH] (4) and N₃P₃Cl₅[(OCH₂CH₂)₂OH] (5), the singly bridged compound N₃P₃Cl₅[(OCH₂)₂-CMe₂]N₃P₃Cl₅ (6), the doubly bridged compounds N₃P₃Cl₄[(OCH₂)₂CMe₂]₂N₃P₃Cl₄ (8) and N₃P₃Cl₄[(OCH₂CH₂)₂O]₂N₃P₃Cl₄ (9), and the triply bridged compounds N₃P₃Cl₃[(OCH₂)₂-CMe₂]₃N₃P₃Cl₃ (10) and N₃P₃Cl₃[(OCH₂CH₂)₂O]₃N₃P₃Cl₃ (11).

The doubly bridged derivatives were also isolated in better yields relative to earlier reports. The substituted cyclotriphosphazenes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, as well as by ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It is found that with variation of the solvent there is a decrease in the product formed by intramolecular reactions (spiro and ansa derivatives) and a concomitant increase in the amount of products formed by intermolecular reactions (singly, doubly, and triply bridged derivatives) of cyclophosphazene.     

Synthesis of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane derivatives. Crystal structure of the racemic form

Condensation of triallylborane with octa-1,7-diyne followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with methanol afforded a mixture of stereoisomeric 1,4-bis(3-methoxy-3-bora-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-en-7-yl)butanes (1a,b). Hydroboration of the latter with a solution of BH₃ in THF yielded the tetrahydrofuran complex of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane (2) as a mixture of diastereomers. Pure racemate (2a) was obtained by crystallization from the reaction mixture and it was converted into the pyridine complex of 1,2-bis(1-boraadamant-2-yl)ethane (3). The structure of the latter was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex2a was converted into the corresponding racemic 1,2-bis(1-hydroxyadamant-2-yl)ethane (4a) by the carbonylation-oxidation reaction. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of complexes of 1,2-bis[2-(pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethanes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, CuII)

Transition metal (Ni^II, Co^II, and Cu^II) complexes with 1,2-bis[2-(3-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (1) and 1,2-bis[2-(4-pyridylmethylideneamino)phenylthio]ethane (2) were synthesized for the first time by slow diffusion of solutions of compounds 1 or 2 in CH₂Cl₂ into solutions of MX₂ · nH₂O (M = Ni, Co, or Cu; X = Cl or NO₃; n = 2 or 6) in ethanol. The reactions with Co^II and Cu^II chlorides afford complexes of composition M(L)Cl₂ (L = 1 or 2). The reactions of compound 1 with Ni^II salts produce complexes with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane. The molecular structure of dinitrato[1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane]nickel(ii) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The ligands and the complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. The initial reduction of the complexes proceeds at the metal atom. The oxidation of the chlorine-containing complexes proceeds at the coordinated chloride anion. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of divalent transition metal halides with 3,5-dimethyl-1-(hydroxymethyl)-pyrazole

Factors determining the complex formation reaction of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) chloride and copper(II) bromide with 3,5-dimethyl-1-(hydroxymethyl)-pyrazole (HL) has been studied. Depending on experimental conditions, complexes with different composition were obtained: [CuCl₂(dmp)]₂ (I), [CuCl₂(dmp)₂]₂ (II), [CoCl₂(dmp)₂] (III) (dmp=3,5-dimethylpyrazole), [CuBr(L)]₂ (IV), [CoCl(L)(EtOH)]₄ (V) and [NiCl(L)(EtOH)]₄ (VI). The compounds were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, solution conductivity and magnetic measurements. The crystal structure of [CoCl(L)(EtOH)]₄ has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal decomposition of the compounds was studied and found to be continuous for all of the compounds. The desolvation mechanism of [MCl(L)(EtOH)]₄ (M=Co(II), Ni(II)) is explained on the basis of the route of complex formation of CoCl₂ with HL.

peri-Naphthylenediamines. 33. Further studies of the reactions of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene with trifluoroacetic anhydride

The reaction of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (1) (proton sponge) with a large excess of trifluoroacetic anhydride in the absence of a solvent afforded a complex mixture of products among which were trans- (2) and cis-diols (3) of the naphtho[1,8-c,d]pyran series, the double proton sponge (4), its di- (5) and tetrafluoroacetyl (6) derivatives, and compound 7.

Supramolecular structures of Mn2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ complexes containing 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane and aminosalicylate anion

In this study, the synthesis, spectroscopic properties and crystal structures of three new supramolecular compounds named [Mn₂(bpp)₄(H₂O)₄](AS)₄·H₂O (1), [Co₂(bpp)₄(H₂O)₄](AS)₄·H₂O (2) and [Zn(bpp)(AS)₂] (3), have been described, where bpp is 1,3-bis(4-pyridil)propane and AS^?  is aminosalicylate anion. By analysing the similarities between the X-ray powder diffraction results, it has been observed that compounds 1 and 2 are isomorphous, exhibiting an orthorhombic system with space group Pccn; for compound 3, another orthorhombic system was observed, with space group Aba2, which displays coordination between the Zn²⁺ metal ion and the aminosalicylate anion; this can be considered the first case in the literature involving the direct coordination to the metal ion. The vibrational spectra of compounds 1 and 2 are very similar. In the Raman spectra, the main bands are observed at ca. 1625 and 1020 cm^? 1, referring to the ^? O–C = O and CC/CN stretching modes of AS^?  and bpp ligands, respectively.     

Synthesis of 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)- and 1,3-bis(benzoylacetonyloxy)benzene and their complexation with lanthanide ions

Claisen condensation of 1,3-bis(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)benzene with acetone and acetophenone afforded new chelating ligands consisting of two β-diketonate fragments, viz., 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)benzene and 1,3-bis(benzoylacetonyloxy)benzene, which are linked to each other through the resorcinol spacer. In the crystal, 1,3-bis(acetylacetonyloxy)benzene, unlike the starting ester, adopts a planar conformation and exists in the enol form. The acidities of these compounds and their complexation with lanthanide ions in aqueous ethanolic solutions were studied by pH-potentiometry. Depending on the concentration conditions and pH, the La³⁺, Gd³⁺, and Lu³⁺ ions form 1 : 1, 1 : 2, or 1 : 3 complexes with bis(β-diketones). The stability of the complexes increases as the atomic number of the lanthanide increases (La³⁺ < Gd³⁺ ≤ Lu³⁺). The complexation constants and selectivity of complexation substantially increase with increasing degree of deprotonation of the ligands, which indicates that both chelate groups of the ligands are simultaneously involved in coordination. The Ph substituents in bis(β-diketone) have a considerable effect on the composition and stability of complexes with lanthanide ions due to additional noncovalent inner-sphere interactions.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

SYNTHESES AND MASS SPECTRAL REARRANGEMENTS OF UNSATURATED BIS-SULPHIDES AND BIS-SULPHONES

Abstract

The synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-1.2-bis(p-fluorophenylsulphenyl)stilbenes (2a and 2b) and 1,2-bis(p-fluorophenylsulphonyl)stilbenes (3a and 3b) was carried out and their configurations were consistent with their stereospecific synthesis. The isomeric 1,1-bis(p-fluorophenylsulphenyl)- and 1,1-bis(p-fluorophenylsulphonyl)-2,2-bis(phenyl)ethylenes (8 and 9) were also synthesised and configurations were established by degradative oxidation. Mass spectral rearrangements of all these compounds were examined. Mass spectra of 1,1-bis-sulphide and 1,1-bis-sulphone bears close relationship with those of (E)- and (Z)-isomeric counterparts. Smiles-type rearrangement observed in 1,2-bis-sulphides was absent in 1,2-bis-sulphones. McLafferty-type rearrangement involving hydrogen migration, from aryl group was noticed in both bis-sulphides and bis-sulphones. Vinyl migration to the sulphone oxygen predominates over aryl migration in three isomeric bis-sulphones.

The title compound was obtained by reduction of diethyl (ferrocenylmethyl)malonate with lithium aluminium hydride in diethyl ether. The structure of this novel ferrocene derivative was assigned by means of elemental analysis, IR, [¹H]NMR, and [¹³C]NMR spectroscopy. The structure was also confirmed by a single crystal X-ray study. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic P2₁/a space group with unit cell dimensions: a = 9.7360(6), b = 27.040(5), c = 14.767(3) Å, = 103.835(6)°, V = 3774.8(11) ų, Z = 12. The asymmetric unit contains three crystallographically independent molecules. In the ferrocenyl moieties, the Fe–C bond distance values are in the range 2.006(5)—2.051(3) Å and C–C distances in the range 1.366(7)–1.425(4) Å. The cyclopentadienyl rings in each of the molecules are mutually twisted by about 13° from the eclipsed conformation. The hydroxyl groups are involved in the intermolecular O–H...O hydrogen bond formation with O-O distances in the range 2.686(3)–2.801(4) Å forming infinite two-dimensional network in a [0 0 1] plane. The crystal structure is additionally stabilized by C–H-O weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
