Synthesis of 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran

3,4,3,4-Tetramethyldiphenyl ether readily forms 2,2-dihalo derivatives on bromination and iodination. Heating 2,2-diiodo-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether with copper powder or oxidation, of 2,2-dilithio-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyl ether gives 2,3,7,8-tetramethyldibenzofuran, the structure of which was proved by alternative synthesis from 2,2-dinitroand 2,2-diamino-4,5,4,5-tetramethyldiphenyls.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1597–1599, December, 1972.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chloride and bromide complexes of 2-(2′-methyl-8′-quinolyl)benzoxazole and 2-(2′ or 4′-methyl 8′-quinolyl)benzimidazole

Summary Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halide complexes of the ligands 2-(2-methyl-8-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo), 2-(2-methyl8quinolyl)benzimidazole (mqbi) and 2-(4-methyl-8-quinolyl)benzimidazole (mqbi) were synthesized and characterized by analytical, thermogravimetric, conductivity and magnetic data, and i.r. and electronic spectra.The ligands are bidentate N-donors yielding complexes where the coordination geometry depends on the metal ion and steric hindrance. All the cobalt complexes have formula [CoL₂X₂] and distorted tetrahedral geometry. Different types of nickel compounds were obtained: i) complexes of formula NiLX₂ · n H₂O (or EtOH) (L = mqbo or mqbi; n=0–1.5) which arepseudo-tetrahedral or five-coordinate and ii) complexes NiL₂X₂ · n H₂O (L = mqbi, n=3 or 4) where the metal is bound to four nitrogen atoms and the overall coordination geometry is tetragonal. The structural changes occurring after removal of water or alcohol from the complexes are also reported.

Die Dissoziationskonstanten von 2,2′-Dihydroxydiphenylmethanderivaten

The pK-values of the first and second degree of dissociation of 2.2-dihydroxy-5-methyl-3.5-dinitro-diphenylmethane, 2.2-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5-nitro-diphenylmethane and 2.2-dihydroxy-5.5-dimethyl-3-nitro-diphenylmethane were determined in aqueous solution at 25°C spectrophotometrically. Comparing the observed pK-values with those of 2-methyl-4.6-dinitrophenol, 2-methyl-4-nitrophenol, 2.4-dimethyl-6-nitro-phenol and 2.4-dimethylphenol, we found a decrease of the values of pK ₁ and an increase of pK ₂. We explain this by the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bridge which stabilizes the anion of the half dissociated form. This assumption is supported by the UV spectra.

Entropy in dissimilarity and chirality measures

Within the prospect of quantifying the geometrical dissimilarity of molecular models on the basis of a thermodynamical formalism, the algebra of stereogenic pairing equilibria is reviewed and applied to molecular geometry: developing Rassat's proposition, an interaction energy of two figures F and F is taken as proportional tod _H ^Emphasis>/2 (F, F), whered _H denotes the Hausdorff distance. IfG is a group of rotations in E _n the geometrical version of the general equation (E) of the chemical algebra defines a distance extensionD _p(F,F) ofd _H(F,F), which is independent of the orientations of F and F, and where the coefficientp is interpreted as the reciprocal of a temperature-like parameter:p 1/T. At K (p = ), no formal entropy contributes to the definition of the uniform distanceD . At K (p = 0), the discrimination between homo- and hetero-pairing of figures by the harmonic distance Do is averaged over orientation states. Temperature-dependent chirality measuresc _p are derived fromD _p, andc is analogous to Mislow's chirality measure. If T and oT are normalized enantiomorphic triangles with coincident centroids inE ₂,c _p(T) =D _p (T, T) is calculated forp = 0 andp = , and discussed for 0 <p < . Finally, the Hausdorff interaction model is putatively related to energy profiles versus dihedral angle inmeso- anddl-molecules.     

Synthesis and characterization of some methyl complexes of palladium(II). Part 2(1)

Summary Dichloro complexes of Pd^II, [Pd(L–L)Cl₂], where L–L=1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylarsino)ethane (S–As) or 1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane (S–P) andtrans-[PdL₂Cl₂], where L=diphenyl(2-phenylethyl)-phosphine (PE), diphenyl(1-naphthyl)phosphine (PN) orN-methyl-2-thiophenealdimine (SN), have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of these complexes with MeLi were investigated. The dimethyl complexes [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) and [Pd(PE)Me₂] were isolated and characterized. Reaction of [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) with HCl affords the monomethyl derivatives [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)]. In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].

Investigations in the field of the chemistry of 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles. 6. Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-(2′-selenienyl)benzimidazole

2-(2-Selenienyl)benzimidazole has been synthesized by a Weidenhagen reaction and converted into the N-methylated derivative. Electrophilic-substitution reactions (nitration, sulfonation, bromination, chloromethylation, and acylation) in the selenophene ring have been studied. It has been shown that the substituent enters the position of the selenophene ring in most cases. The bromination of 1-methyl-2-(2-selenienyl)benzimidazole in acetic acid produces the 3,5-dibromo derivative, whereas 1-methyl-5(or 6)-bromo-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-selenienyl)benzimidazole is obtained in polyphosphoric acid.For Report 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1531–1534, November, 1983.

Convenient synthesis of 5′-methyl-2′-desoxyuridines

A convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of 5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines. Chlorination of 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyluridines with a mixture of Ph₃P and CCl₄ in DMF affords the 2-desoxy-2-chloro-derivatives, which are then reduced with tributyltin hydride. The crystalline 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines were obtained in overall yields of 40–60%. In a similar way, 5-O-benzoyluridine has given 5-O-benzoyl-2-desoxyuridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–248, February, 1989.

Optisch aktive,aromatische Spirane, 11. Mitt.: Synthese optisch aktiver mono- bis heptasubstituierter 5-Methyl- und 5-Ethyl-2,2′-spirobiindane und analoger Naphthalinderivate bekannter Chiralität und enantiomerer Reinheit

Starting from optically active 5,5-dimethyl, diethyl, and 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,2-spirobiindane as well as from 5-ethyl-spirobiindane-5-carboxylic ester of known enantiomeric purity and configuration 75 mono to polysubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes have been prepared. Amongst these are several compounds with rings anellated in the 6,7 (and 6, 7) positions, especially a spirohydrocarbon4 x with orthogonal naphthalene units the circular dichroism of which is reported and discussed.Several mono and disubstituted 5-methyl and ethylindanes (1,2) have been prepared as models for synthetic transformations in the spirobiindane series.From the molar rotations of symmetrically diacylated 5,5-dimethyl and diethyl spirobiindanes (4a, 7b, 7c) empirical ligand parameters for acetyl and methoxycarbonyl were determined which gave much better results in the calculation of the rotations of appropriate spirobiindanes (with the shortened polynomal Ansatz) than the -values deduced previously from 5,5-disubstituted spirobiindanes. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.

Kinetics and mechanism of nucleophilic substitution of dichloro{1-methyl-2-(arylazo)imidazole}palladium(II) by pyridine bases

The reaction of dichloro{1-methyl-2-(arylazo)imidazole}palladium(II), Pd(RaaiMe)Cl₂ where RaaiMe = p-R–C₆H₄N=N–C₃H₂N₂-1-Me; R = H(1), Me(2), Cl(3), with pyridine bases [RPY: R = H (a), 4-Me (b), 4-Cl (c), 2-Me (d), 2,6-Me₂ (e), 2,4,6-Me₃ (f)] has been studied spectrophotometrically in MeCN at 451 nm. The products (4) have been isolated and characterised as trans-Pd(RPy)₂Cl₂. The kinetics of the nucleophilic substitution has been examined under pseudo-first-order conditions at 298 K. A single phase reaction step has been observed for bases such as Hpy (a), 4-MePy (b) and 4-ClPy (c) and follows the rate law: rate = (a + k[RPy]²[Pd(RaaiMe)Cl₂]). The bases 2-MePy (d), 2,6-Me₂Py (e) and 2,4,6-Me₃Py (f) exhibits a bi-phasic reaction and follows the rate laws: rate–1 = (a + k[RPy][Pd(RaaiMe)Cl₂]) and rate–2 = (a + k[RPy][Pd(RaaiMe)-Cl₂]), where k is the third-order rate constant; k is the second-order first phase rate constant, k is the second-order second phase rate constant and a/a/a correspond to the solvent dependent constant of the respective reaction path. The rate data supports a nucleophilic association path. External addition of Cl^– (LiCl) suppresses the rate, which follows the order: k/k/k (3) > k/k,k (1) > k/k,k (2). The k values are linearly related to the Hammett constants. The 2-substituted pyridines (d–f) remarkably reduce the rate and show a bi-phasic reaction behaviour as compared with 4-Rpy (a–c). This is attributed to the steric effect that destabilises the transition state. The rate decreases with increasing steric crowding at the ortho-position and follows the order: (d) > (f) > (e). The 4-substituted pyridines control the rate via an inductive effect and follow the order: (b) > (a) > (c).
