Vibrational spectra and conformations of 2- and 3-methylbicyclo[4.4.0]decanes

The conformations and heats of formation of all trans(T)- and cis(C)-2- and 3-methyl-substituted T- and Cbicyclo[4.4.0]decanes (BD) were calculated by the MM2 method of molecular mechanics. It was shown that the conformationally mobile T-2-Me-CBD and T-3-Me-CBD can exist in normal conditions as an inseparable mixture of conformers with a different equatorial or axial orientation of the Me groups. The Raman scattering (RS) spectra of TBD and CBD were investigated. RS bands whose frequencies were sensitive to the type of ring linkage and orientation (but not the position) of the Me substituents were detected in the 700–300 cm^–1 region.A. V.

7-Aryl-6,7-dihydro-8h-indeno[1′,2′∶2,3]pyrano-[5,6-c]benzo[c]pyran-6,8-diones and their thio analogs

The ability of 3-[-(1,3-dioxo-2-indanyl)benzyl]-4-hydroxy-substituted 2H-benzo [b]pyran-2-ones and benzo[b]thiopyran-2-ones to undergo dehydration under the influence of dehydrating agents to give 7-aryl-6,7-dihydro-8H-indeno[1,2-2,3]pyrano[5,6-c]benzo[c]pyran-6,8-diones and their thio analogs was demonstrated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1475–1476, November, 1985.     

Effect of temperature on the basicity of certain aliphatic-aromatic amino alcohols

Conclusions Ionization constants were obtained of 14 amino alcohols and one tertiary amine in 50% ethanol in the range of 10–25° and thermodynamic characteristics of the ionization process of the investigated ammonium ions were calculated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 669–671, March, 1976.The authors express their gratitude to S.

Acetylation of lagochilin

The acetylation of lagochilin and its derivatives with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine has been studied by PMR spectroscopy. It has been shown that the manifestation of the polyfunctionality of lagochilin in acetylation reactions with acetic anhydride is connected with a change in the nature of the process of solvation of the reaction forms with the subsequent replacement of the hydrogen atoms of the hydroxy groups by acetyl groups.V. I. Lenin Tashkent State University. Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 46–49, January–February, 1980.     

Metallocene monomers and polymers. Ferrocenyl and ferrocenylene derivatives

The synthesis and study of some polyenes, polýiminoimides and Schiff polybases with ferrocene obtained by either polymerization or polycondensation are reported.The following monomers were used: ethynylferrocene, 1-chloro-1′-ethynyl-ferrocene, α-chloro-β-formyl-p-ferrocenylstyrene, p-ferrocenylphenylacetylene, p-ferrocenylacetophenone, 1,1′-diacetylferrocene and 1,1′-bis[β-(2-furyl)acryloyl]ferrocene which were characterized by spectral and thermodifferential analyses and Hückel MO calculations. The polymerization was performed in the presence of benzoyl and lauroyl peroxides, triisopropylboron and complex catalysts of [P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ NiX₂ type. The ferrocene derivatives were polycondensed with biuret, 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl thioether, 4,4′-diamino-2,2′-dinitrodiphenyl disulphide in the presence of metallic salts and p-toluene sulphonic acid as catalysts.Polymers with either linear or tridimensional structure showing good thermal stability and semiconducting properties have been obtained. Some polymers show catalytical activity in the polymerization of chloroformylated vinylic derivatives.     

Synthesis of 4- and 6-methyl derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4h,6h)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine based on methylbarbituric acids,spectroscopic characteristics and acidity constants

We have obtained previously unknown 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethyl-5-diethylaminothiocarbonylthiobarbituric acids by reaction of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate with 5-phenyliodonium betaines of 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acids. Cyclization of these compounds upon heating in conc. H₂SO₄ gives methyl-substituted 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-diethylimmonium hydrosulfates; the derivative of 1-methylbarbituric acid forms a mixture of 4-methyl- and 6-methyl-substituted compounds (21). We isolated perchlorates of 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-substituted derivatives in pure form. By treatment of the immonium salt with sodium sulfide or selenide, we obtained 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-thiones and 4-methyl-, 6-methyl-, and 4,6-dimethyl-2-selenones. We characterized the isomeric 4- and 6-methyl-substituted selenones by electronic absorption spectra and ionization constants (7.65 and 4.0). The differences in the pK values and in the electronic absorption spectra makes it possible to distinguish the substitution site in N-mono-substituted derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1526–1533, November, 1993.     

Synthesis of thiirane oximes from 3,4-dibromo-3-methyl-2-butanone oxime

2-(-Oximinoethyl)-2-methylthiirane was obtained by the reaction of 3,4-dibromo-3-methyl-2-butanone oxime with sodium sulfide. At the same time, the O-carbamoyl derivative of the ,-dibromo oxime was converted to the corresponding substituted ,-unsaturated oxime under the same conditions. Thiirane oxime, like its O-carbamoyl derivative, underwent the desulfuration that is characteristic for thirranes under the influence of tributylphosphine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 751–753, June, 1982.     

Mechanism of oxygen effect on hyrogenation rate of CO over palladium catalysts

Acceleration of CO hydrogenation by oxygen over palladium catalysts can be accounted for by competing reactions taking place in the CO-H₂O₂ system.
