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.     

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.

1.4-Bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1.3-butadiyne has been synthesized from the individual isomers of 4-ethynyl-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol. Hydrogenation, bromination, and cleavage have given, respectively, 1,4-bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)butane, 1,4-bis(4-nydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrabromo-1, 3-butadiene, and 4-(1,3-butadiynyl)-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol.     

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.
