Nuclear magnetic resonance study of the molecular structure of 1,3-benzodioxole and 1,3-indandione partially oriented in nematic solvents

The molecular structures of 1,3-benzodioxole and 1,3-indandione partially oriented in nematic solvents have been studied by NMR. Results for 1,3-indandione agree well with a planar model. The structural parameters are similar to those obtained by X-ray studies. No keto-enol tautomerism is observed. An anomalous structural result is obtained for 1,3-benzodioxole if the molecule is assumed to be planar. Dipolar couplings agree well with puckered model. The puckering angle is found to be about 15.5° ± 2°, similar to the values observed for TTF, TSeF and 2,5-dihydrofuran.     

(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

Synthesis,characterization and biological activity of some 1,2,4‐triazine derivatives

4‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐3‐(2H)‐thioxo‐5‐(4H)‐oxo‐1,2,4‐triazine ( 1 ) was condensed with 2‐methyl (or phenyl)‐4H‐3,1‐benzoxazin‐4‐one ( 5a,b ) in boiling acetic acid to give compounds 8‐11 . Reacting 1 with chloroacetyl chloride afforded the corresponding chloroacetamido and triazinothiadiazine derivatives 12 and 13 . Condensing 2 with succinic anhydride and/or phthalic anhydride yielded compounds 14 and 15 . Benzoylation of 4‐amino‐6‐methyl‐3‐(2H)‐thioxo‐5‐(4H)‐oxo‐2‐(2,3,4,5‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐α‐D‐glucopyra‐nosyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine ( 19 ) afforded the corresponding 4‐N,N‐dibenzoyl derivative 20 . Deblocking of the N‐2 glycoside 21 and the S‐glycoside 22 by methanolic ammonia gave compounds 23 and 24 . Acetylation of 4‐amino glycoside 25a afforded the corresponding 4‐mono‐ and 4‐diacetyl derivatives 26 and 27 . Deamination of 25a,b yielded compounds 28a,b . Methylation of compound 28b afforded the corresponding N4‐ and S‐methyl derivatives 29 and 30 .     

Correlation between Solution and the Solid State: The pH Dependent Composition in the Ternary System [Co(H2O)6]2+ or [Ni(H2O)6]2+/Piperazine/Phosphate

The protolytic equilibria of piperazine (C₄H₁₀N₂) and phosphate have been investigated in the presence of cobalt or nickel chloride or nitrate by potentiometric titrations between pH 2 and 8. Potentiometric titrations suggest the presence of [M²⁺(H₂O)₅(C₄H₁₁N₂⁺)]³⁺ and [M²⁺(H₂O)₅(C₄H₁₀N₂)]²⁺ in solution with stability constants logK of 3.1 and 3.8 for M = Co and 3.1 and 3.6 for M = Ni, respectively. Crystallization experiments were then conducted at selected pH values to isolate desired species from the known solution composition. Crystallization afforded [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺(C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺)(HPO₄^2—)₂ at pH 3.5 and 6.2 (M = Co, Ni), and Co₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O at pH 10.5. No crystals with the dihydrogenphosphate anion or a metal‐bound piperazine ligand could be isolated under the reaction conditions. The solid‐state assembly in the isomorphous structures of [M(H₂O)₆](C₄H₁₂N₂)(HPO₄)₂ with M = Co and Ni is based on an extended hydrogen bonded network between the three ionic building blocks.     

Spectroscopic characterization and preparation of low molecular,water‐soluble chitosan with free‐amine group by novel method

Low molecular, water‐soluble chitosan (LMWSC) with a free amine group was prepared by the novel salts‐removal method described in this study. A weight‐average molecular weight and degree of deacetylation (DDA) of LMWSC were determined by viscometry and Kina titration, resulting in 18,579 Da and 93% DDA, respectively. In the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectra the absorption band by the carboxyl group derived from lactic acid and the impurities formed in the enzymatic process disappeared or were significantly lower than that of the control chitosan. Also, from the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra the empirical value for the area ratio of the proton and carbon corresponds nearly to its theoretical values. The matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrum identified the difference in the two adjacent peaks as 161. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A NMR study of tetrathiofulvalene and tetracyanoquinodimethane: relative proton geometries and order parameters using nematic solvents; carbon-proton spin spin coupling constants for TTF

From proton magnetic resonance spectra of TTF and TCNQ partially oriented in nematic liquid crystal solvents the ratio of length to width of the proton rectangle is 3.124 ± 0.03 for TTF and 1.765 ± 0.024 for TCNQ. Values of J_CH obtained for TTF dissolved in d₆-acetone, are J_CH = 187.9 ± 0.3 Hz, J_CCH = 6.7 ±0.1 Hz and J_CSCH = 9.0 ±0.2 Hz.     

Novel Sesquiterpenes from the Fungus Lactarius piperatus

Four novel sesquiterpenes, namely 7α,8β,13‐trihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 2 ), isoplorantinone ( 5 ), 4,8,14‐trihydroxyilludala‐2,6,8‐triene ( 6 ), and 8‐hydroxy‐8,9‐secolactara‐1,6‐dien‐5,13‐olide ( 10 ), together with six known ones, 7α,8β‐dihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 1) , 7α,8α‐dihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 3 ), isolactarorufin ( 4 ), blennin A ( 7 ), blennin D ( 8 ), and lactarorufin ( 9 ), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Lactarius piperatus. The structures of these sesquiterpenes, representing diversified structural types, were determined mainly by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D‐NMR techniques. The structure of 6 was further confirmed by a single‐crystal X‐ray‐diffraction determination.     

用硼酸作催化剂一锅法合成双（二氢化嘧啶酮-4-基）苯

A simple effective synthesis of bis(dihydropyrimidinone-4-yl)benzene derivatives, using boric acid as catalyst,from isophthalic aldehyde or terephthalic aldehyde, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea or thiourea in glacial acetic acid was described. As the expansion of the classical Biginelli reaction, this method has the advantage of excellent yields 83%-94% and short reaction time 0.5-1.5 h.     

The synthesis and reactivity of the heptanuclear dianion [Os7(CO)20]2− including the synthesis and structural characterizations of the compounds [Os7(CO)20(AuPEt)3 2] and [Os8(CO)20(η6-C6H6]

Reduction of the heptaosmium cluster [Os₇(CO)₂₁] With [Et₄N][NH₄) gives the cluster dianion [Os₇(CO)₂₀]^2–,1, in high yield. The reaction of the dianion with [AuPR ₃Cl] (R=Et or Ph) in the presence of TlPF₆ forms [Os₇((CO)₂₀(AuPR ₃)₂] [R=Et (2a);R = Ph(2b)] in 80% yield, while the corresponding reaction with (Os(C₆H₆)(CH₃CN)₃]²⁺ gives [Os₈(CO)₂₀ ( ⁶-C₆H₆)] (3) in reasonable yield (ca. 30%). The dianion,1, and the clusters2 and3 have been fully characterized by bout spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. The crystal structure of the [Ph₄P]⁺ salt of1 shows that the metals in the anion adopt a capped octahedral geometry, with all twenty carbonyl ligands in terminal sites. The metal core geometry in2a is best described as a tricapped octahedron, and is based on the structure of the dianion1 with two adjacent octahedral faces capped by the Au atoms of the two AuPEt₃ groups. In a similar fashion, the geometry of3 is related to that of1 with the addition of an Os(C₆H₆) unit capped to a triangular face, to give a bicapped octahedral framework.
