Multicomponent condensation of aliphatic amines with formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide

Cyclothiomethylation of primary aliphatic amines with the reagent H₂S-CH₂O (2:3) in aqueous medium mainly gave substituted dithiazines; oxathiazines and dioxazines were obtained from butylamine and ethanolamine. Under the chosen reaction conditions, ethylenediamine was converted into 5-[2-(perhydro-1,3,5-dithiazin-5-yl)ethyl]perhydro-1,3,5-dithiazine or substituted thiazetidine and oxazetidine, depending on the order of mixing of the starting reagents.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Insensitive Nitrogen‐Rich Materials Incorporating the Nitroguanidyl Functionality

A new class of nitroguanidyl‐functionalized nitrogen‐rich materials derived from 1,3,5‐triazine and 1,2,4,5‐tetrazine was synthesized through reactions between N‐nitroso‐N′‐alkylguanidines and the hydrazine derivatives of 1,3,5‐triazine or 1,2,4,5‐tetrazine. These compounds were fully characterized using multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The heats of formation for all compounds were calculated with Gaussian 03 and then combined with experimental densities to determine the detonation pressures (P) and velocities (D_v) of the energetic materials. Interestingly, some of the compounds exhibit an energetic performance (P and D_v) comparable to that of RDX, thus holding promise for application as energetic materials.

Synthesis of (−)-Hobartine and Related Indole Alkaloids

An improved method for obtaining optically pure (S)-(l-p-menthen-8-yl)amine ( 12 ) has led to expedient syntheses of two hypothetical biogenetic intermediates on the way to aistoteline ( 7 ), namely (S)-(N)-(l-p-menthen-8-yl)-2-(3-indolyl)ethylamine ( 3 ) and (S)-(N)-(l-p-menthen-8-yl)-2-(3-indolyl)ethylideneamine ( 4 ). The latter has been transformed into (?)-hobartine ( 6 ) in 64% yield via a stereoselective biomimetic cyclization by treatment with HCOOH. This unambiguous synthesis establishes the hitherto unknown absolute configuration of (?)-hobartin ( 6 ). Several model cyclization reactions of N-substituted α-(terpen-8-yl)imine derivatives yielding unsaturated 3azabicyclo [3.3.1]nonane compounds are described.     

Synthesis of symmetrical di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazoles and di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines

The reactions of pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile and 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-carbonitrile with hydrazine hydrate were investigated. Intermediates in the route of successive transformations of pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (pyrimidine-2-carbamidrazone and 1,2-bis[amino(pyrimidin-2-yl)methylidene]hydrazine) into trinuclear heterocyclic compounds, viz., symmetrical di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazines and di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amines (potential polydentate ligands), were isolated. The oxidative dehydrogenation of di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazines afforded the corresponding 3,6-di(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines.     

Cyclothiomethylation of carboxylic acid hydrazides with aldehydes and H<Subscript>2</Subscript>S

The cyclothiomethylation of carboxylic acid hydrazides RCONHNH₂ (R = C₅H₄N, Ph, 2-MeOC₆H₄, or 4-HOC₆H₄CH₂) with formaldehyde and H₂S at 70 °C affords predominantly the corresponding N-(1,3,5-dithiazinan-5-yl)amides, whereas this reaction at 0–−50 °C gives a mixture of the latter compounds with 3-acyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolidines. N-(1,3,5-Dithiazinan-5-yl)-amides were selectively synthesized by the reaction of carboxylic acid hydrazides with formaldehyde and H₂S in the presence of BuONa in BuOH.

The results of the X-ray structure analysis of three novel 3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine cocrystals are presented. These are 3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine–2,4,6-tribromophenol (1/2), C₁₂H₈N₆·2C₆H₃Br₃O, 3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine–isonicotinic acid N-oxide (1/2), C₁₂H₈N₆·2C₆H₅NO₃, and 3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine–4-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (1/1), C₁₂H₈N₆·C₆H₆N₂O₄S. Special attention is paid to a conformational analysis of the title tetrazine molecule in known crystal structures. Quantum chemistry methods are used to compare the energetic parameters of the investigated conformations. A structural analysis of the hydrogen and halogen bonds with acceptor aromatic tetrazine and pyrazine rings is conducted in order to elucidate factors responsible for conformational stability.     

2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their derivatives

A convenient preparative procedure has been developed for the synthesis of previously unknown 2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives from accessible multicenter substrates of the general formula Cl₂C=C(NHCOR)C(O)OMe. The products turned out to be suitable for various subsequent transformations. Some oxazole-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide derivatives containing a substituted oxazol-5-yl fragment at the N² atom in the hydrazine moiety underwent recyclization on heating in acetic acid; as a result, one oxazole ring was converted into 1,3,4-oxadiazole.     

Study on side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides based on novel chromophore-containing diamines. I. Synthesis and characterization

Side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides were prepared from four novel chromophore-containing diamines and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride by a traditional two-step process that included a solution polycondensation followed by a chemical imidization. The four diamines were 2,4-di-β-aminoethylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M1), 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6-di-β-aminoethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M2), 2,4-di-p-aminophenylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M3), and 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6- di-4-aminophenylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M4). All the polyimides exhibited maximum ultraviolet-visible absorption peaks or shoulders of chromophores at wavelengths below 400 nm, and those based on M1 and M3 were transparent at wavelengths above 450 nm, whereas those based on M2 and M4 were transparent at wavelengths above 550 nm. The polyimides possessed high glass-transition temperatures (T_g's; 218–247 °C) and thermal decomposition temperatures. They were soluble in aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethyl acetamide, N,N-dimethyl formamide, and dimethylsulfone. Some were even soluble in common low-boiling-point solvents such as tetrahydrofuran. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 4330–4336, 1999

Cyclothiomethylation of o-phenylenediamine with CH₂O and H₂S gives rise to 1,2,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[d][1,3,6]thiadiazepine and 1,2,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[f][1,3,5,8]dithiadiazonine, whereas m-phenylenediamine forms benzothiaza macroheterocycles of various structure, comprising 4–8 molecules of the starting diamine, formaldehyde, and hydrogen sulfide. 4,4′-Diaminodiphenyls give bis(1,3,5-dithiazinanes), along with oligomeric hetero(N,S,O)atomic compounds.     

Construction of novel coordination polymers with simple ligands

Three different types of metal-organic polymers have been prepared by a solution diffusion process carried out at room temperature. Crystals of the copper coordination polymers [CuX(4,4′-bipy)] _n (X = Cl, Br, I) have been obtained by the reaction of 4,4′-bipyridine ligands with Cu₂X₂ fragments to yield a three-dimensional network consisting of four interlocking planar lattices. Single crystals of [Cu₂(1,2,4,5-BTC)(DMF)₂] _n (1,2,4,5-BTC = 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarboxylate) have been grown by slow diffusion from solutions of a mixture of CuBr₂, 2,2′-dithiosalicylic acid, and sodium azide plus a mixture of 1,2,4,5-H₄BTC and 4-cyanopyridine. The complex [Co(1,3,5-BTC)(4,4′-bipy)] _n (1,3,5-BTC = 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate) has a 3D open framework structure involving terminal cobalt atoms plus bridging 1,3,5-BTC and 4,4′-bipyridine ligands.     

Synthesis,photoluminescence, and electrochromism of novel aromatic poly(amine‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s bearing anthrylamine chromophores

Two novel poly(amine‐hydrazide)s were prepared from the polycondensation reactions of the dicarboxylic acid, 9‐[N,N‐di(4‐carboxyphenyl)amino]anthracene ( 1 ), with terephthalic dihydrazide ( TPH ) and isophthalic dihydrazide ( IPH ) via the Yamazaki phosphorylation reaction, respectively. The poly(amine‐hydrazide)s were readily soluble in many common organic solvents and could be solution cast into transparent films. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that these hydrazide polymers had glass‐transition temperatures (T_g) in the range of 182–230 °C and could be thermally cyclodehydrated into the corresponding oxadiazole polymers in the range of 300–400 °C. The resulting poly(amine‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s had useful levels of thermal stability associated with high T_g (263–318 °C), 10% weight‐loss temperatures in excess of 500 °C, and char yield at 800 °C in nitrogen higher than 55%. These organo‐soluble anthrylamine‐based poly(amine‐hydrazide)s and poly (amine‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s exhibited maximum UV‐vis absorption at 346–349 and 379–388 nm in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP) solution, respectively. Their photoluminescence spectra in NMP solution showed maximum bands around 490–497 nm in the green region. The poly(amine‐hydrazide) I ‐ IPH showed a green photoluminescence at 490 nm with PL quantum yield of 29.9% and 17.0% in NMP solution and film state, respectively. The anthrylamine‐based poly(amine‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s revealed a electrochromic characteristics with changing color from the pale yellow neutral form to the red reduced form when scanning potentials negatively from 0.00 to ?2.20 V. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
