Synthesis of 7-formyl-2-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-d]-pyrimidine and some other 7-substituted derivatives

A method that utilizes the Vilsmeier reaction to form a pyrrole ring was developed for the preparation of the previously unknown 7-formyl-2-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine from 2,6-dimethyl-5-amino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidine. The nitrile, which was converted to the amide, was obtained from the oxime of the synthesized aldehyde. 7-Unsubstituted pyrrolopyrimidine was synthesized by oxidation of the aldehyde to the corresponding acid and subsequent decarboxylation. The IR and PMR spectroscopic data are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1672–1674, December, 1977.     

Use of the mannich reaction in the synthesis of bispidine

A three-step synthesis of bispidine ( 1 ) is described. Mannich condensation of N-benzyl-4-piperidone, formaldehyde, and benzylamine afforded N,N′-dibenzylbispidinone ( 5 ), which was reduced under modified Wolff-Kishner conditions to yield N,N′ -dibenzylbispidine ( 6 ). Catalytic debenzylation of this compound gave 1 .     

Recherches en série triazepine-1,2,4: 1 - détermination de la structure de la triazolotriazépinone obtenue par action de l'acétylacétate d'éthyle sur le diamino-3,4 triazole-1,2,4

The condensation of 3,4-diamino 1,2,4-triazole with ethyl aceloacelate gave 6-methyl-8,9-dihydro(7H)-s-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazepin-8-one ( 2 ); 2 has been caracterized by nmr spectroscopy and by comparison with its methylated derivative prepared in an unambigous manner.     

N,N-dimethyl-N-(methylferrocenyl)amine as a bifunctional component of initiating systems for free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate

The specific features of free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of a new initiating system, benzoyl peroxide-N,N-dimethyl-N-(methylferrocenyl)amine, are studied. Mutual influence of the ferrocene and amino groups on the kinetic parameters of polymerization and on the microstructure of the resulting polymers is revealed. The polymer formed in the presence of this initiating system is shown to have a predominantly syndiotactic structure.     

DMC: A multifunctional hybrid dynamics/Monte Carlo simulation algorithm for the evaluation of conformational space

A hybrid conformational search algorithm (DMC) is described that combines a modified form of molecular dynamics with Metropolis Monte Carlo sampling, using the COSMIC(90) force field. Trial configurations are generated by short bursts of high-temperature dynamics in which the initial kinetic energy is focused into single bond rotations or alternatively into “corner-flapping” motions in ring systems. Constant temperature and simulated annealing search protocols have been applied to the conformational analysis of several model hydrocarbons (cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, cycloheptadecane, decane, and tetradecane), and the performance compared with conventional molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo sampling methods. Optimum Metropolis sampling temperatures have been determined and range from 1000–2000 K for acyclic molecules to 3000 K for cyclic systems. Simulated annealing runs are most successful at locating the global minimum when cooling slowing from these optimum temperatures.     

Electron spin echo as a tool for investigation of surface structure of finely dispersed fractal solids

The ESE method was successfully used for investigating the texture of the adsorbents and catalysts. Equations were obtained for the kinetics of ESE signal decay due to dipole-dipole interaction between motionless paramagnetic centers distributed uniformly on the fractal surface of solid.

Water-Soluble imide-amide copolymers. II. Preparation and characterization of poly (acrylamide-co-p-maleimidobenzoic acid)

The comonomer required, p-maleimidobenzoic acid (MBA) was first prepared in good yield by refinements of published methods. p-Carboxysuccinanilic acid (CSA), and p-succinimidobenzoic acid (SBA), were also prepared to provide models useful for IR and NMR for spectroscopic assignments of the new copolymers. Polymerization of MBA with acrylamide in glacial acetic acid at 60°C gave copolymers with estimated viscosity average molecular weights of 60,000 to 90,000. Yields and viscosity average molecular weights decreased as the MBA to acrylamide monomer feed ratio was increased. The rate of incorporation of MBA into the copolymer rose from 7 to 23% when the mole ratio in the feed was raised from 5 to 20%. Decreasing the initiator concentration increased molecular weights by less than predicted and reduced the yield of copolymer for any given feed ratio of MBA to acrylamide. In all cases about 30–40% of the MBA units in the purified copolymers were hydrolyzed. A change to dimethyl sulfoxide solvent gave good, and poor yields of copolymer at 5 and 10 mol % MBA, respectively, and no copolymer at 20 mol % MBA. Viscosity average molecular weights of the copolymer products prepared in DMSO were somewhat lower than obtained for the copolymers prepared in acetic acid. Polymerization in a DMSO-water mixture gave a negligible yield of polymeric product. Instead, only hydrolysates of MBA precipitated when the coloured polymerization solutions were added to methanol.     

Preparation de membranes echangeuses de cations par photogreffage d'ethers allyliques du poly (alcool vinylique). Etude de certaines de leurs proprietes—II: Photogreffage des poly (alcools vinyliques) allyles

Poly(vinyl alcohols) partially allylated have been grafted with sulphonic acid. The influence of experimental parameters (vinyl sulphonic acid concentration, swelling before grafting, photoinitiator concentration, grafting temperature and duration of the irradiation) have been studied in detail.
