Acetals of lactams and acid amides. 53. Eamidines in the synthesis of pyridine and pyrimidine

The reaction of -cyano--aminocrotonic ester with DMFA diethylacetal gives 1-ethoxycarbonyl-1-cyano-2-(N-dimethylaminomethylene)-amino-4-dimethylaminobutadiene, the reaction of which with ammonium acetate and amines leads to 4-methylenepyrimidine derivatives. Condensation of -cyano--aminocrotonic ester with dimethylacetamide dieethylacetal gave 2-(ethoxycarbonylcyano)methylene-4-dimethylamino-6-methylpyridine. It was found that in an alkaline medium, 1-benzyl-4-(ethoxycarbonylcyano) methylenepyrimidine recyclizes into 1-benzyl-3-cyano-4-amino-2-pyridone.For Communication 52, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1109–1114, August, 1988.     

Mass spectra of arylalkylpyridines

The basic principles of the mass-spectral fragmentation of arylalkylpyridines that contain substituents in various positions were established. The principle ions that can be used in Chromatographic mass-fragmentographic analysis in the study of liquid-crystal compositions were determined for each specific case.Communication 1 of the series Mass spectra of liquid crystalsTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1509–1513, November, 1987.     

Mössbauer study of hydrothermally-treated ferrosilica gels

Mössbauer spectroscopy and x-ray phase analysis have been used to examine the structural states and grain sizes of the iron-bearing phase in ferrosilica gels in the initial state and after hydrothermal treatment at 673 K. The component ratio has a substantial effect on the phase composition. The specific surface is also related to the phase composition.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 23, No. 5, pp. 647–651, September–October, 1987.     

Ligand effect in enantioselegtive hydrogenation on skeletal copper-palladium catalysts

Conclusions Pronounced synergism of the asymmetric effect of chiral copper-palladium catalysts related to manifestation of a ligand effect was found.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 277–280, February, 1987.     

Force fields and vibrational spectra of M2O and MOH (M = Li,Na) molecules according to data from nonempirical MO-LCAO-SCF calculations

The geometric structure, force fields, and vibrational spectra of M₂O and MOH (M=Li, Na) molecules have been investigated. The size of the d basis on the oxygen atom has a significant influence only on the frequency of the deformation vibration ₃. Experimentally unknown constants of the molecules considered have been evaluated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 22, No. 6, pp. 724–728, November–December, 1986.     

Structure and thermodynamics of hydrocarbon liquids: Computer simulation based on rism theory

A system of Ornstein-Zernike integral equations is solved numerically to determine the heats of vaporization ΔH_V of liquid ethane, propane, and n-butane. It is shown that the calculations (the deformations of valence bonds and bond angles in the liquid-phase molecules are ignored) give rather accurate values of ΔH_V, which are in agreement with the corresponding experimental data. On the other hand, it is established that if there are intramolecular rotational degrees of freedom, ΔH_V depends on the angle of internal rotation ϕ. The function ΔH_V(ϕ) is minimum for trans-conformations (ϕ=0) and maximum for cis-conformations (ϕ=180°). Hence, intermolecular interactions stabilize compact (convolute) conformations. The energy of this effect is of the order of 1 kJ/mole. Tver State University. Translated fromZhurnal Strukturnoi Khimii, Vol. 36, No. 5, pp. 808–813, September–October, 1995. Translated by I.

Influence of the crystallinity of pentasil-type zeolites on their acidity

The acid properties of intermediate products in crystallization of pentasil-type zeolites have been investigated using programmed thermal desorption of ammonia and adsorption of pyridine. It was found that acidity increases with increasing crystallinity due to proton-donor centers. A correlation was established between this change in acidity and methanol TPSR data.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 1, pp. 48–51, January–February, 1995.
