Chemistry of indole

5-Methoxy-3-carbethoxyindoles are nitrated primarily in the 4 position. Replacement of the methoxy group by an acetoxy group leads to a change in orientation — only the 6 isomer is obtained. In the case of the similarly constructed 5-hydroxyindoles, monosubstitution cannot be accomplished under various conditions, and only the 4,6-dinitro derivative is formed. The synthesis of the corresponding amines by reduction of the nitro compounds is described.See [1] for communication XXXVIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1646–1653, December, 1973.     

Reactions of azirines with sulfur nucleophiles. 2. Reactions of 2H-azirine with β,γ-dihydroxy thiols and β-dithiols. a new route to the synthesis of cyclic sulfides

The reaction of 2H-azirine with a number of dihydroxy thiols and dithiols leads to aziridin-2-yl alkyl sulfides. The latter readily isomerize to cyclic sulfides the size of the ring of which is determined by the length of the alkyl sulfide chain.For Communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 623–627, May, 1985.

Dissociative ionization of methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines

The mass spectra of the following methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines have been studied in the range of energies of the ionizing electrons of 15–50 eV: 2-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylquinoline, and 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylquinoline. It has been shown that the processes of dissociative ionization for the series of compounds investigated take place exclusively from the keto forms of the molecular ions. The stability to electron impact is determined largely by the degree of enolization of the structures considered. The values of the selective decomposition are given and a scheme is proposed for the identification of the isomeric methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 972–978, July, 1973.
