A study of the tautomerism of the N-butyl-4(2)-methoxycarbonyl-pyrrolid-3-ones and their hydrochlorides

The tautomerism of N-butyl-2-methoxycarbonyl-4-methylpyrrolid-3-one (I), N-butyl-4-methoxycarbonylpyrrolid-3-one (II), N-butyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-2-methylpyrrolid-3-one (III), N-butyl-4-methoxycarbonylpyrrolid-3-one hydrochloride (IV), and N-butyl-4-methoxy-carbonyl-2-methylpyrrolid-3-one hydrochloride (V) has been studied by UV and IR spectroscopy. It has been found that the esters I–V are highly ionized in aqueous and ethanolic solutions at concentrations of 10^–2–10^–3 M. On passing from methyl cyclopentran-1-one-2-carboxylate to the esters II and III the position of the equilibrium in heptane and CCl₄ shifts in the direction of the keto form. On passing from the esters II and III to the esters IV and V, the position of the equilibrium shifts in the direction of the enol. Meyer's relationship is not satisfied for the esters II and III, while it is satisfied for the esters IV and V. Hypotheses have been put forward on the causes of the phenomena mentioned.     

New tetracyclic compounds containing the β-carboline moiety

Oxidation of 1-methyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline with selenium dioxide gave 1-formyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline II . Compound II reacted with acetic or propionic anhydride to give easily the 2-methoxycarbonyl-6H-indolo[3,2,1-d,e][1,5]naphthyridin-6-ones III ; reaction of II with some primary amines led to the formation of the Schiff bases IV , which were reduced to the 1-aminomethyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-β-carbolines V with sodium borohydride. Cyclization of V with aqueous formaldehyde led to the pyrimido[3,4,5-lm]pyrido[3,4-b]indoles VI . Analogously, cyclization with formaldehyde, acetone or 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole of the 3-aminomethyl- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines VIII , obtained by reaction of 3-methoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline VII with amines followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the resulting amides, gave the imidazo[1′,5′-1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indoles IX and X . Dieckmann cyclization of 3-methoxycarbonyl-2-[(3-ethoxycarbonyl)-1-propyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline XI led to a 1:1 mixture of the β-ketoesters XII and XIII , which underwent deethoxycarbonylation to 5,6,8,9,10,11,11a,12-octahydroindolo[3,2-b]quinolizin-11-one XIV . Finally, the polyphosphoric acid (or esters) catalyzed cyclization of the N-acyl derivatives XVI of 3-hydrazinocarbonyl-β-carboline XV led smoothly to the 3-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-β-carbolines XVII .     

Studies on the syntheses of azole derivatives. Part VII. Syntheses of 1 -phenyl-Δ2-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one derivatives [studies on the syntheses of heteroeyclic compounds. CD XI]

Bromination of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-Δ²-1,2,3-lriazolin-5-one (II) and its 4-phenyl derivative III afforded the corresponding I-(p-Bromophenyl) derivatives IV and V, respectively. (Chlorination of the 4-phenyl derivative III gave I-(P-chlorophenyl) derivative VI. In addition, 3-N-subsuituted-carhamoyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-ones(XII, XIII, and XIV) were synthesized by the Schotten-Baumann reaction of 3-carboxy-1-phenyl-Δ²-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one (XI) with various amines.     

Complexes of d and f Metals with 2-Methyl-3-hydroxy(amino)pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-one. Crystal Structure of 2-Methyl-3-hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-one

Six complexes of scandium(III), lanthanum(III), praseodymium(III), and copper(II) chlorides with 2-methyl-3-hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-one (HL¹) and 2-methyl-3-aminopyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-one (L²), as well as hydrochloride and hydronitrate L², were isolated. The crystal and molecular structures of HL¹ were determined. HL¹ in CCl₄ solution was shown (IR data) to occur as two forms, namely, neutral and zwitterionic forms. The structures for the complexes isolated were proposed.     

Studies in the complex formation of metal ions with sugars. I. The complex formation of cobalt(II), cobalt(3), copper(II) and nickel(II) with mannitol

The use of elastic polyurethane foam as a support for chloranil was proved successful. Reductions of cerium(IV), vanadium(V) and iron(II) on foam-filled columns were carried out quantitatively and rapidly. The effect of flow-rate and temperature on the reduction of each metal ion was examined in detail. Cerium(IV) was reduced quantitatively on passing through the foam-redox column at flow-rates of 2–11 ml min^-1 at room temperature. The reduction of vanadium(V) and iron(III) was slower; complete reduction occurred only at flow-rates up to 4 and 2 ml min^-1 for V(V) and Fe(III), respectively. At 35°, however, it was possible to use flow-rates of 7 and 6 ml min^-1 for the quantitative reduction of V(V) and Fe(III), respectively.     

Study of the tautomerism of 4- and 2- carbalkoxy-3-thiophanones

The equilibrium positions of 4-carbomethoxy-3-thiophanone (I), 2-carbomethoxy-4-methyl-3-thiophanone (II), 4,5-dicarbomethoxy-3-thiophanone (III), and 4-carbethoxy-5-phenyl-3-thiophanone (IV) in acetonitrile, dioxane, and alcohols was determined. The Meyer equation is satisfied for ketones I and II paired with acetylacetone and for III and IV paired with methyl cyclopentanone-2-carboxylate in alcohol solutions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1473–1480, November, 1971.

The spectrophotometric determination of vanadium after extraction as vanadium(III) ferronate by tribenzylamine

Vanadium(III) obtained by dithionite reduction of vanadium(V) can be extracted as its ferron complex with tribenzylamine in chloroform from 0.05 M sulphuric acid. Vanadium (0–5 μg ml^-1) is determined spectrophotometrically at 430 nm with a sensitivity of 0.0028 μg V cm^-2. Al(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II, III), Hg(II), Si(IV), Be(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Cr(VI, III), W(VI), Zn(II), U(VI), Mn(II). Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Th(IV) do not interfere; only Mo(VI), Ti(IV), Zr(IV). Bi(V) and Sn(II) interfere. A single determination takes only 7 min. The extracted complex is V^III (R-3H.TBA)₃ where R = C₉H₄O₄NSI. The method is satisfactory for the determination of vanadium in steels, alum and other samples without preliminary separations.     

Solvent Extraction of Vanadium with α-Benzoin Oxime

The solvent extraction of vanadium by a chloroform solution of α-benzoin oxime was investigated. The most favorable condition for the extraction has been found in the pH rang of 1.8 to 3.0 in sulfate or chloride buffer solutions, but with better extraction efficiency when sulfate was used. A solution of 2×10^?2 M α-benzoin oxime in chloroform was used, and 1×10^?4 to 2×10^?2 M vanadium(V) was extracted favorably in about 89% yield by a single extraction, and in about 97% yield by a double extraction. The effects of shaking time, concentration of α-benzoin oxime, and diverse ions have also been investigated. Vanadium(V) can be readily extracted without interference in the presence of copper(II), aluminum(III), iron(III), silver(I), zirconium(IV), and chromium(III).     

Voltammetric study of the reduction process of ethylenediaminetetraacetatovanadium(IV): oxidation-state-dependent speciation

Cyclic voltammetry, differential-pulse polarography (d.p.p.), and direct-current tast polarography (d.c.t.p.) were used to study the electrochemical reduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetatovanadium(IV) [V(IV)OEDTA^2?]. The two-electron reduction wave of V(IV)OEDTA^2? is gradually split into two one-electron waves when the concentration of the supporting electrolyte is increased. A detailed study of the electrochemistry of V(III)EDTA^? allowed the conclusion that the two one-electron waves of V(IV)OEDTA^2? reflect the reduction sequence V(IV)OEDTA^2?$\text{+e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ V(III)EDTA^?$\text{+e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$|$\text{?e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ V(II)EDTA^2?. The process responsible for the observed “chemical” peak separation was found to be ion pairing, by which the reduction of V(IV)OEDTA^2? is facilitated. A method is presented by which the parallel determination of V(IV) and V(III) (when present as the appropriate EDTA complexes) is possible with d.p.p, or d.c.t.p.

Reaction Products of Chloromethoxiphosphines and Antimony (V) Chloride. Vibrational Spectra of the 1:1-adducts of Methoxiphosphoryl Compounds and Antimony (V) Chloride Chloromethoxiphosphines react with antimony(V) chloride in a redox process to yield the chloromethoxiphospllonium hexachloroantimonates(V) (CH₃O)₃PCl₂⁺SbCl₆^? (II) and CH₃OPCl₃⁺SbCl₆^? (III). II, III, (CH₃O)₃PCl⁺SbCl₆^?(1) and (CH₃O)₄P⁺SbCl₆^? eliminate easily methyl chloride and give the addition compounds OP(OCH₃)₃·SbCl₅(IV), OPCl(OCH₃)₂ · SbCl₅ (V), OPCl₂(OCH₃)·SbCl₅ (VI) and OPCl₃·SbCl₅ (VII). The vibrational spectra of IV, V nnd VI are discussed.     

Thermal and photochemical oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenyl phenyl ether: A model for poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)

The oxygenation of 2,6-dimethylphenyl phenyl ether (I) at 260°C has resulted in the formation of 4-methylxanthone (II), 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzophenone(III), 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (IV), 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid (V), 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzyl o-cresotinate (VI), 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzyl alcohol (VII), and 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzyl 2-phenoxy-3-methylbenzoate (VIII), The photochemical oxidation at 75° produced compounds II, III, IV, VII, and VIII. Oxidation of poly(2,6-dimethyl 1,4-phenylene oxide) film at 200°C and photochemically at 50°C produced a carbonyl band at ca. 1730 cm^?1. The gel content of the photochemically aged film could be significantly reduced and the 1730 cm^?1 peak in the thermally aged specimen could be moved to longer wavelength by base treatment. The isolation of compound VIII in both processes with the model compound and the results with the polymer allows us to propose an ester group as a crosslinking unit in thermally and photochemically aged polymer film.     

A study of the tautomerism of the N-alkyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-piperidinones and their hydrochlorides

The positions of the equilibria of N-alkyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-piperidinones in the liquid state, in water, in alcohols, and in CCl₄ have been determined by IR and UV spectroscopy. It has been shown that Meyer's equation is not satisfied for them. This is due to the high steric requirements of the solvating electron pair of the nitrogen atom. On the basis of the fact that on passing from the methyl ester of cyclohexan-1-one-2-carboxylic acid to the N-alkyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-piperidones the position of the equilibrium in the liquid state and in CCl₄ does not shift in the direction of the enol it is deduced that the spatial requirements of the free electron pair of the nitrogen atom do not appreciably exceed the steric requirements of the hydrogen atom. The IR and UV spectra of the chlorides of the N-alkyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-piperidinones in the solid state and in water and in alcohols are given.     

Direct quantum chemical calculation of rotatory strengths of methylpyrrolidones : Model compounds containing a peptide group

CNDO/S method is used to compute the rotatory strengths of L-5-methylpyrrolid-2-one and S-3-methylpyrrolid-2-one, cyclic compounds containing a peptide group. The observed circular dichroism (CD) bands in the regions of 185 and 220 nm corresponded to π → π^* and n → π^* transitions, respectively. The computed rotatory strengths indicate that nonplanarity of pyrrolidone ring makes a substantial contribution to the CD of compounds under consideration. The comparison of computed and experimental rotatory strengths suggests that both compounds have a nonplanar ring conformation.     

Pre-column chelation liquid chromatographic separation and determination of trace V,Cu, Co,Pd, Fe and Ni

Conditions for the separation by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) of V(V), Cu(II), Co(III), Pd(II), Fe(III) and Ni(II) chelates with 2-(5-bromopyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) were studied. Six species of metal chelates were separated successfully with methanol-acetonitrile-water (72:12:16, v/v/v) containing 0.13 M NaCl and 0.29 mM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (pH 5.0) as the mobile phase on a Nucleosil C₁₈ (5 μm) column (250 × 4 mm i.d.).The conditions of the determination of these metal chelates are discussed. A simple and rapid method for the determination of trace amounts of V(V), Cu(II), Co(III), Pd(II) and Ni(II) simultaneously by reversed-phase LC has been developed. The detection limits are 5 × 10^?12, 1 × 10^?10, 3 × 10^?11, 5.3 × 10^?9 and 2 × 10^?10 g, respectively. The method is applied to the determination of these metals in natural waters and mineral samples.     

Hindered rotation in trimethylenemethane—Fe(CO)3 complexes

^>13C NMR spectra have been recorded for trimethylenemethane—Fe(CO)₃ (I) as well as its acetyl (II), 1-hydroxyethyl (III), 1-acetoxyethyl (IV) and ethyl (V) derivatives respectively. Compounds II–IV exhibit 3 distinct ¹³CO resonances at room temperature. These signals undergo a reversible broadening and merge into a single sharp signal on warming. δGG^? for Fe(CO)₃ rotation at the coalescence points is 17–18 kcal mol^?1. The rotational barrier is electronic in origin.     

Ion chromatography of chloro complexes of the platinum group metals and gold using bonded phase silica substrates

The ion chromatography of chloro complexes of Au(III), Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Rh(III) and Ru(III) was investigated using anion-exchange and ion-interaction techniques involving silica-based phases. Chloride was either absent or at a very low level and the pH was high enough to enable steel-fabricated liquid chromatography equipment to be used. With anion exchange, Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV) and Pt(IV) gave good stable chromatography and all produced linear calibration plots, except Ir(IV) owing to instability of the sample solution. The detection limits were Ir(III) 5, Os(IV) 10 and Pt(IV) 2 ng ml^?1. The ion-interaction technique was not so successful, only Au(III) and Pd(II) giving stable chromatography. The calibration plots were slightly curved, although acceptable, and the detection limits were 10 and 30 ng ml^?1 for Au (III) and Pd(II), respectively.     

Synthese von Tricyclo[4.4.1.13, 8]dodecan-4, 9-dion und Tricyclo[4.4.1.13, 8]dodeca-4, 9-dien

Treatment of 2, 6-bis-aminomethyladamantane-2, 6-diol (II) with nitrous acid gives tricyclo[4.4.1.1^{3, 8}]dodecane-4, 9-dione (III), which is converted into the tricyclo[4.4.1.1^{3, 8}]dodeca-4, 9-diene (V) by reduction to the corresponding diols (IV, R = H) and pyrolysis of their O-4-methylphenyl thiocarbonate O-esters. II is accessible from 2, 6-adamantanedione by reaction with diethyl aluminium cyanide and subsequent reduction with lithiumaluminium hydride. The physical properties of the new compounds including ¹³C NMR. spectra of III, V and tricyclo-[4.4.1.1^{3, 8}]dodecane are given.     

Reaction of 2-dimethylaminomethylene-1,3-diones with dinucleophiles. X. synthesis of 5-substituted ethyl or methyl 4-isoxazolecarboxylates and methyl 4-(2,2-dimethyl-1-oxopropyl)-5-isoxazolecarboxylate

Reaction of ethyl or methyl 2-dimethylaminomethylene-3-oxoalkanoates with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in methanol solution afforded in high yields the relative esters of 5-substituted 4-isoxazolecarboxylic acids II . These esters were hydrolyzed generally with concentrated hydrochloric acid-acetic acid mixtures to the corresponding carboxylic acids in satisfactory yields. Ethyl or methyl esters II isomerized with sodium ethoxide or methoxide, respectively, to the corresponding esters or hemiesters of 2-cyano-3-oxoalkanoic acids generally in excellent to satisfactory yields. Reaction of methyl 5,5-dimethyl-3-dimethylaminomethylene-2,4-dioxohexanoate with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded in moderate yield methyl 4-(2,2-dimethyl-1-oxopropyl)-5-isoxazolecarboxylate, which was converted by acid hydrolysis as above to 4-t-butyl-4-hydroxyfuro[3,4-d]isoxazol-6-(4H)-one.     

Sulfonylcalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate as pre-column chelating reagent for selective determination of aluminum(III), iron(III), and titanium(IV) by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection

Sulfonylcalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (SO₂CAS) has been examined as a pre-column chelating reagent for ultratrace determination of metal ions by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. Metal ions were converted into the SO₂CAS chelates in an acetic buffer solution (pH 4.7). The chelates were injected onto a n-octadecylsilanized silica-type Chromolith™ Performance RP-18e column and were eluted using a methanol (50 wt.%)-water eluent (pH 5.6) containing tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (7.0 mmol kg⁻¹), acetate buffer (5.0 mmol kg⁻¹), and disodium ethylendiamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (0.10 mmol kg⁻¹). Under the conditions used, Al(III), Fe(III), and Ti(IV) were selectively detected among 21 kinds of metal ions [Al(III), Ba(II), Be(II), Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ga(III), Hf(IV), In(III), Mg(II), Mn(II), Mo(VI), Ni(II), Pb(II), Ti(IV), V(V), Zn(II), and Zr(IV)]. The detection limits on a 3σ blank basis were 8.8 nmol dm⁻³ (0.24 ng cm⁻³) for Al(III), 7.6 nmol dm⁻³ (0.42 ng cm⁻³) for Fe(III), and 17 nmol dm⁻³ (0.80 ng cm⁻³) for Ti(IV). The practical applicability of the proposed method was checked using river and tap water samples.
