Synthesis of 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones and 4-(3H)quinazolinones from anthranilic acids and their derivatives by the use of triphenyl phosphite and pyridine

A series of 2-substituted 4H-3,1-benzoxazinones and 2,3-disubstituted 4-(3H)quinazolinones have been synthesized in mild conditions by the use of triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as cyclising medium. Benzox-azinones are produced either by ring closure of 2-(acylamino)benzoic acids or in the reaction of benzoic acid with anthranilic acids. In the presence of aniline, the reaction leads to quinazolinones.     

On the mechanism of conformational interconversion in cyclohexene derivatives

The free energy barriers to ring inversion for 3,3-dimethylcyclohexene, 4,4-dimethylcyclohexene and 3,3,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexene were determined by low temperature PMR studies. The results were interpreted in terms of a mechanism whereby the boat conformation is of highest energy on the energy profile for conformational interconversion. The very high ΔG^≠ value for 3,3,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexane (8·4 kcal/mole) is considered a reflection of the serious non bonded interaction that exists between methyl groups at the “prow” positions of the boat form.     

Reaktionen von π-Organokomplexen des Nickels mit tertiären Phosphanen

Reactions of π-Organonickel Complexes with Tertiary Phosphanes In a hexane solution Ni(C₅H₅)₂ reacts with PBu₃ or Ph₂PBu forming the nickel(O) complexes Ni(PBu3)₄ or Ni(Ph₂PBu)₄ (A). Under the same conditions only one cyclopentadienyl ligand is substituted by PhPBu₂ and the nickel(I) compound (C₅H₅)Ni (PhPBu₂)₂ (B) is obtained. Products of the reactions between B and α,α′-dipyridyl, hydrogen chlorid in ether, or Ni(PhPBu₂),Cl₂ are Ni(dipy)₂, [PhPHBu₂]₂[NiCl₄], or (C₅H₅) Ni(PhPBu₂)₂Cl. By the reaction with HgCl₂ a cyclopentadienyl compound of an unknown structur is formed. The compound Ni(PhPBu₂)₄ which is analogous to A is synthesized by the reduction of bis(acety1acetonato)-nickel with Et₂AlOEt in the presence of PhPBu₂ or by the reaction of bis (cyclooctadiene-1,5)-nickel with PhPBu₂.     

Photoinduced morphism of gemini surfactant aggregates

The photochemical behaviour of an azobenzene chromophore inserted in a gemini surfactant imparts photocontrol to the resulting amphiphile assemblies, including the collapse, upon irradiation, of the multi lamellar vesicles formed in aqueous solution.     

Natriumkomplexe mit Salicylideniminen: Synthesen,Strukturen, CO2‐Aufnahme und Carboxylierung von 2‐Fluorpropiophenon bzw. Estronmethylether

Chiral salicylidenphenethylamines (R)‐HA or (S)‐HA , 2‐salicylidenfurfuryl‐imines HB , and 2‐salicylidenaminoethanol HC react with sodium hydride or sodium hexamethyldisilylamide to form the sodium complexes [Na(R)‐A] ₄ · 0,5 Et ₂ , [Na(S)‐A] ₄ · 0,5 Et ₂ O (1) , [NaB] ₄ · 0,5 Ph‐Me (2) and [(dme)NaC] ₄ (3) . In the presence of 18‐crown‐6 the complex [Na(18‐crown‐6)(thf) ₂ ] ₂ [Na ₂ (C)] ₄ · THF (4) can also be isolated. The crystal structure analyses of both 1 and 2 show that heterocubane structures with a Na₄O₄ frame work are formed. Additionally, the imine nitrogen atom is bonded at the Na atom which has the coordination number 4 in 1 . Additional coordination of the furfuryl oxygen atom results in the coordination number five for the sodium atom in 2 . In 3 which is also a tetramer, two Na₂O₂ units are connected via two imino‐ethanol bridges Na(1)‐N(=CH‐phenolat)‐CH₂CH₂‐OH‐Na(2A). The crystal structure analysis displays that 4 is an ionic compound consisting of two [(thf)₂Na(18‐crown‐6)]⁺ cations and the dinuclear dianion [Na ₂ (C) ₄ ] ^2? . Both 1 and 2 are carboxylation reagents which transfer CO₂ to 2‐fluoropropiophenone. 1 is more active than 2 , but 3 and 4 are inactive.

Tensor product surfaces of euclidean plane curves

Recently B.Y. CHEN initiated the study of the tensor product immersion of two immersions of a given Riemannian manifold [3]. In [6] the particular case of tensor product of two Euclidean plane curves was studied. The minimal one were classified, and necessary and sufficient conditions for such a tensor product to be totally real or complex or slant were established. In the present paper we study for tensor product of Euclidean plane curves the problem of B.Y. CHEN: to what extent do the properties of the tensor product immersion f ? h of two immersions f, h determines the immersions f, h ? [3]     

Harmonic analysis of large systems. I. Methodology

Methods have been developed for the determination of vibrational frequencies and normal modes of large systems in the full conformational space (including all degrees of freedom) and in a reduced conformational space (reducing the number of degrees of freedom). The computational method, which includes Hessian generation and storage, full and iterative diagonalization techniques, and the refinement of the results, is presented. A method is given for the quasiharmonic analysis and the reduced basis quasiharmonic analysis. The underlying principle is that from the atomic fluctuations, an effective harmonic force field can be determined relative to the dynamic average structure. Normal mode analysis tools can be used to characterize quasiharmonic modes of vibration. These correspond to conventional normal modes except that anharmonic effects are included. Numerous techniques for the analyses of vibrational frequencies and normal modes are described. Criteria for the analysis of the similarity of low-frequency normal modes is presented. The approach to determining the natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration described here is general and applicable to any large system. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
