Lactam and acid amide acetals. 71. New synthesis of 3-nitro-6-hydroxyindole derivatives

Previously unknown 3-nitro-6-hydroxyindole derivatives were synthesized by condensation of p-benzoquinone with secondary -nitro enamines.See [1] for Communication 70.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 40–45, January, 1992.     

Catalytic hydroamination of furfuryl and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohols with nitriles

Reaction of furfuryl and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohols with nitriles over copper oxide catalysts under a hydrogen pressure of 15 atm at a temperature of 230C gives N-alkylfurfuryl- (yield 46–50%) and N-alkyl-tetrahydrofurfurylamines (49–53%), and N-alkylpiperidines (28–41%). A reaction mechanism is proposed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 23–26, January, 1988.     

Thermochemical reactions in polycomplexes

Polycomplex formation between poly(methacrylic acid) and polyacrylamide in aqueous solutions has been studied by means of viscometry, potentionetry and elemental analysis. Stoichiometry of the polycomplex was found to be 1:1 with respect to unit-moles. I.R.-spectroscopic data give evidence of the co-existence of ladder-like regions and loops in the polycomplexes formed by poly(methacrylic acid) with polyacrylamide and poly(ethylene glycol). The reactivities of the same functional groups in ladder-like regions and loops are different. This difference has been shown taking as an example thermochemical reactions in the above polycomplexes. Dehydrocyclization in the poly(methacrylic acid) chain was found to occur in the loops of both polycomplexes. This intramolecular reaction in the polycomplex of poly(methacrylic acid) with polyacrylamide is followed by intermolecular formation of imide bonds in ladder-like regions.
