Mono{hydrotris(mercaptoimidazolyl)borato} complexes of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) halides

A series of [Tm(Me)M(mu-Cl)]2 and Tm(R)MCl (Tm(R) = tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)borate; R = Me, tBu, Ph, 2,6-iPr2C6H3 (Ar); M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) complexes have been prepared by treatment of NaTm(Me) or LiTm(R) with an excess amount of metal(II) chlorides, MCl2. Treatment of Tm(R)MCl (R = tBu, Ph, Ar) with NaI led to a halide exchange to afford Tm(R)MI. The molecular structures of [Tm(Me)M(mu-Cl)]2 (M = Mn, Ni), [Tm(Me)Ni(mu-Br)]2, Tm(tBu)MCl (M = Fe, Co), Tm(Ph)MCl (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), Tm(Ar)MCl (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), Tm(Ph)MI (M = Mn, Co), and Tm(Ar)MI (M = Fe, Co, Ni) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The Tm(R) ligands occupy the tripodal coordination site of the metal ions, giving a square pyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry for Tm(Me)M(mu-Cl)]2 and a tetrahedral geometry for the Tm(R)MCl complexes, where the S-M-S bite angles are larger than the reported N-M-N angles of the corresponding hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp(R)) complexes. Treatment of Tm(Ph)2Fe with excess FeCl2 affords Tm(Ph)FeCl, indicating that Tm(R)2M as well as Tm(R)MCl is formed at the initial stage of the reaction between MCl2 and the Tm(R) anion.     

Pyrimidine derivatives and related compounds. 38. Synthesis of 1,3-oxazine-2,4-diones and their reaction with nucleophiles. Ring transformation of 1,3-oxazines to pyrimidines

5,6-Unsubstituted 1,3-oxazine-2,4-diones ( 3 ) and 6-unsubstituted 5-methyl-1,3-oxazine-2,4-diones ( 4 ) were prepared by reduction of the corresponding 6-chloro derivatives ( 1 and 2 ). Treatment of 6-chloro-3-methyl-1,3-oxazine-2,4-dione ( 1a ) with sodium azide, sodium cyanide, secondary amines and aniline gave the corresponding 6-substituted compounds ( 7, 9, 10 and 11 ) while the reaction of 1a and 2a,b with primary aliphatic amines such as methylamine and ethylamine caused a ring transformation to pyrimidine ring system giving barbituric acids ( 13a-d ).     

Quality control of solid-phase synthesis: C PST/MAS NMR analysis on non-destructed SynPhase lantern

Pulse saturation transfer (PST)/MAS was highly effective for enhancing a magic angle spinning (MAS) ¹³C NMR of the inter-mobile region of polymer supported organic compounds. Direct monitoring of solid-phase synthesis on non-destructed SynPhase lantern was demonstrated using a 7 mm probe on the ¹³C PST/MAS NMR study.     

13C Pulse fourier transform NMR of menthol stereoisomers and related compounds

¹³C NMR spectra of menthol stereoisomers have been determined. The correlations of chemical shifts of these ring carbons with those of stereoisomeric 2-isopropylcyclohexanols are examined. Observed chemical shifts of 1-Me carbons are compared with those predicted from the chemical shifts of stereoisomeric 1-methyl-4-t-butylcyclohexanes. ¹³C NMR spectra of menthyl acetates, and cis and trans p -menthanes have also been examined.     

Ion-transfer voltammetry at 1,6-dichlorohexane|water and 1,4-dichlorobutane|water interfaces

The usefulness of 1,6-dichlorohexane (1,6-DCH) and 1,4-dichlorobutane (1,4-DCB) as organic solvent (O) for ion-transfer voltammetry at O|water (W) interface has been examined, and the results are compared with those with 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE). The width of potential window of the 0.1 M tetraoctylammonium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (O)|0.05 M Li₂SO₄ (W) interface increased in the sequence: O = 1,6-DCH > 1,4-DCB > 1,2-DCE. The voltammetric behavior of the transfer of various cations and anions at the 1,6-DCH|W and 1,4-DCB|W interfaces has been shown to be of reversible nature, and the midpoint potentials or the reversible half-wave potentials have been determined. The midpoint potentials of hydrophilic ions have also been determined by the analysis of anodic final rise or cathodic final decent of the voltammograms with the O|W interfaces, where the W contains a salt of the hydrophilic ion. Also, the effect of ion-pair formation in O on the midpoint potentials has also been discussed.     

Synthesis of Hydrotalcite from Seawater and Its Application to Phosphorus Removal

10.0 wt% milk of lime was added to seawater containing AlCl 3 at Mg/Al molar ratio of 3.0 until pH 10.5 with stirring, and kept at 25;C for 1 h. Hydrotalcite (HT) was precipitated as a single phase, and Mg 2+ and Al 3+ were quantitatively precipitated. The chemical composition was [Mg 0.75 Al 0.25 (OH) 2 ][(SO 4 ) 0.06 (Cl) 0.02 (OH) 0.11 *];0.27H 2 O* (*Balance). A 100 mg-P/L Na 2 HPO 4 solution and the HT were shaken at 25;C. Phosphate removal increased with increasing time and the HT quantity, and was the highest at pH 7-9. Phosphate ion could be quantitatively removed, adding 8 times the stoichiometric quantity of the HT at pH 8.7 for 6 h.     

New Preparation of α,β-Unsaturated Esters from 1-Alkenes Via Two Carbon Homologation Route. Synthesis of Queen Substance

2-Methylthio-4-alkenoic esters prepared from 1-alkenes and ethyl methylsulfinylacetate are converted into α,β-unsaturated esters via hydrogenation, oxidation, and thermolysis. This method was applied to the synthesis of queen substance.
