Facile 5-endo electrophilic cyclization of unsaturated amides with BuOCl/I2

5-Endo iodocyclization of various β,γ-unsaturated amides proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding conjugated iminolactones exclusively in satisfactory yields with the use of ^tBuOCl and I₂ as the reagents, which proved to be much advantageous over the conventional I₂/NaHCO₃.     

Synthesis and properties of 4,4′-bis[5-alkyl(aryl)benzoxazol-2-yl]-2-hydroxy(alkoxy)biphenyls

Synthesis of 2-hydroxy(methoxy)-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acids was developed. Based on their reactions with o-aminophenols we prepared for the first time 4,4′-bis[5-alkyl(aryl)benzoxazol-2-yl]-2-hydroxy-(alkoxy)biphenyls, which might be of interest as luminescent dyes. Hydroxy compounds in a salt form possess abnormally high Stokes shift.     

Energy estimate of bond polarity

Conclusions The bond polarity, determined as the ionic component fraction of the bond energy, is related in a linear manner to the Pauling polarity value.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No, 10, pp. 2401–2402, October, 1982.The author thanks I.

Structure of “furfuramide” and “furfurine”

The structures of ,-bis(furfurylideneimino)silvan (furfuramide or N,N'-difurfurylidene-2-furanmethanediamine) and the product of its thermal cyclization 2,4,5-tris (-furyl)-2-imidazoline (furfurine) were confirmed by comparison of the IR, UV, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. It is shown that acetylation of the latter with acetic anhydride in the case of heating of the reagents without a solvent or in pyridine takes place with opening of the imidazoline ring and leads to the formation of 1,2-bis(-furyl)-1-acetamido-2-(-furoylamido)ethane.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1461–1464, November, 1978.     

Sesquiterpene Lactones from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Stizolophus balsamita</Emphasis> and Their Biological Activity

Four sesquiterpene lactones with the germacrane structure were isolated from the aerial part of Stizolophus balsamita. X-ray structure analyses showed that two of them were previously known balsamin derivatives. A third was a crystalline isomorphous mixture of the known lactone stizolin and 11,13-dihydrostizolin in a 53:47 ratio. The biological activities of the balsamin derivatives were investigated. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 454–457, September–October, 2005.     

Glycine and L-Lysine Ionization in a Mixed Aqueous Solution

In mixed aqueous solution of glycine and L-lysine the ionization of both amino acids increases due to the proton transfer from glycine zwitterion to lysine zwitterion. This is manifested by a considerable nonlinear (pairwise interaction of amino acids) increase in the mixed solution electroconductivity at high amino acid concentrations. The solution pH varies negligibly, as the amino acids in aqueous solutions demonstrate buffering. The refraction coefficient additively depends on glycine and L-lysine concentrations.     

Reaction of α-amino acid esters with 2-ethoxy-4-thiolanones. synthesis of α-mercaptocarboxylic acid amides

Conclusions -Amino acid esters are readily acylated by 2-ethoxy-4-thiolanones to form the corresponding -mercaptocarboxylic acid amides.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2139–2140, September, 1986.     

The effect of the structure of bonded cyanoalkyl stationary phases on their selectivity in the liquid chromatographic separation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons

Summary The paper discusses the effect of the length and structure of the hydrocarbon chain connecting the nitrile group to the silica gel surface on the chromatographic properties of cyanoalkyl phases.When using non-polar and polar mobile phases, the selectivity of the cyanodecyl phases toward PAHs is higher than of the cyanopropyl phase and of hydroxylated silica gel.Polar additives to the mobile phase drastically decrease the retention on silica gel and on the cyanopropyl phase while affect the properties of cyanodecyl phases only to a considerably less degree. Newly synthesized phases with different structures of the hydrocarbon chain are compared with the commerical cyano-and ODS-phases. The retention mechanism on the cyanoalkyl phases is discussed.     

Homolytic alkylation of quinaldine and quinoxaline with 18-crown-6

Homolytic alkylation of protonated quinoxaline with 18-crown-6, initiated by the system pivalic acid-iron(II) sulfate at 20–25C, gives (quinoxalin-2-yl)-18-crown-6 in 85% yield. Under analogous conditions, the reaction with quinoline affords two isomers: (quinolin-4-yl)-18-crown-6 and (quinolin-2-yl)-18-crown-6, in yields of 20 and 30% respectively.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 75–76, January, 1988.     

New reactions of sulphur dichloride with olefines

The interaction between SCl₂ and adamantylideneadamantane produces epithiocompounds $\text{2}$ and $\text{3}$ or polychloroadamantylideneadamantanes $\text{4}$–$\text{7}$ depending upon conditions. The structure of $\text{3}$ was determined by X-ray analysis.
