First synthesis of 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane complexes with cadmium salts

Complexes of bicyclic diaziridines 6,6′-bi(1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane) (L ¹ ) and 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (L ² ) with the salts Cd(NO₃)₂ · 4H₂O and Cd(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O have been synthesized. The fact of complexation has been established by cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of complex L ¹ with Cd(NO₃)₂ (the coordination number of cadmium is 8) has been studied by X-ray diffraction.     

Insertion of carbon disulfide and the nitrile group into the diaziridine ring of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in ionic liquids catalyzed by BF<Subscript>3</Subscript> · Et<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

The present study revealed two new reactions resulting in the diaziridine ring expansion, viz., the insertion of the CS₂ molecule and the CN group of activated nitriles into the C—N bond of the diaziridine fragment of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. These reactions can be performed only in ionic liquids in the presence of BF₃ · Et₂O as the catalyst. Based on these reactions, we developed simple one-pot methods for the synthesis of 3-aryldihydro-5 H-pyrazolo[1,2- c][1,3,4]thiadiazole-1-thiones and 1-aryl-6,7-dihydro-1 H,5H-pyrazolo-[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazoles in high yields. Dipolar intermediates of new reactions, which are direct precursors of the final products, were detected by NMR methods. One of the intermediates was isolated and characterized. The reaction of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes with benzoyl cyanide affords (2-benzoyrpyrazolidin-1-yl)(aryl)acetonitriles.     

Synthesis of first representatives of 3,3′‐bi(6,8‐dialkyl‐2,4‐dioxa‐6,8‐diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octan‐7‐ones)

The first representatives of 3,3′‐bi(2,4‐dioxa‐6,8‐diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octan‐7‐ones) have been synthesized by a reaction of glyoxal as form of 2,2′‐bi(4,5‐dihydroxy‐1,3‐dioxalane) with N,N′‐dialkylureas. Their structures have been supported by X‐ray analysis. 1,3‐Dialkylimidazolidine‐2,4‐diones (hydantoins) have been isolated as by‐products and their formation mechanism has been experimentally confirmed.     

Dinitrogen Trioxide–Mediated Domino Process for the Regioselective Construction of 4‐Nitrofuroxans from Acrylic Acids

4‐Nitrofuroxans (4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole 2‐oxides) were prepared by a dinitrogen trioxide–mediated domino reaction of acrylic acids under the action of NaNO₂ excess in AcOH at room temperature. The reaction proceeds completely regioselectively and presents a new, simple, general, and safe method for the preparation of both 3‐aryl‐ and 3‐alkyl‐4‐nitrofuroxans available with difficulty before. A mechanism for the furoxan ring construction through a four‐step one‐pot protocol is proposed. The synthesized nitrofuroxans have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray powder diffraction.     

Synthesis and structures of complexes ofN-(2-aminoethyl)diaziridines with transition metal salts

A series of complexes ofN-(2-aminoethyl)diaziridines with transition metal salts (Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, or Fe²⁺) were synthesized. Their structures were established by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The structure of bis[1,2-bis(2-aminoethyl)diaziridine]cadmium(II) diperehlorate was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Nitroformonitrile oxide

Two methods for the generation of nitroformonitrile oxide (NFNO) were proposed, namely, by dehydration of dinitromethane and by nitration of 2-methyl-1-nitro-1-propene. NFNO was identified as its cyclodimerization product, dinitrofuroxan.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 722–726, April, 1995.     

Synthesis and cascade rearrangement of 3-arylazo-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylureido)furoxans

3-Arylazo-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylureido)furoxans, which were synthesized by the reactions of 4-amino-3-arylazofuroxans with ethoxycarbonyl isocyanate, were subjected to cascade rearrangements under the action of potassium tert-butoxide in dimethylformamide or by heating in dimethyl sulfoxide to form 4-amino-2-aryl-5-nitro-2H-1,2,3-triazoles. X-ray diffraction study and quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G**) of one of ureidofuroxans demonstrated that the intramolecular contact between the carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom of furoxan corresponds to the charge transfer from the lone electron pair of the oxygen atom to the antibonding orbital of the N—O bond.
