Reactions of mercury salts with benzo- and tetrafluorobenzobarrelenes

Regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the addition of mercury salts to benzobarrelene and tetrafluorobenzobarrelene have been studied in acetic acid and methanol. The effect of the substrate structure on the regiochemistry of the reaction is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1105–1108, June, 1994.     

Synthesis of potassium salts ofO-substitutedN-nitrohydroxylamines

Potassium salts of O-substitutedN-nitrohydroxylamines were synthesized by nitration of O-substituted.N-acetylhydroxylamines followed by treatment of the reaction products with potassium methoxide.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 178–179, January, 1994.     

Electrochemical co-oxidation of C-H acids and methanol as a new route to functionalized cyclopropanes

Electrolysis of dimethyl malonate or methyl cyanoacetate in methanol in the presence of LiCl in an undivided cell leads to formation of 1,1,2,2-cyclopropanetetracarboxylic derivatives.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1835–1836, October, 1994.This work was supported by the International Science Foundation (Grant No MHY 000).     

Sulfonyldiazene-N-oxides

Sulfonyldiazene-N-oxides2 and3 were obtained by treatment of sulfamide with nitroso compounds1 in the presence of 1,3-dibromoisocyanurate (DBI) in neutral and acid media.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 681–683, April, 1994.
