Recording and decay of transient gratings in a system of saturable three-level centers

The kinetics of formation and relaxation of transient holographic gratings recorded in a system of saturable three-level centers is studied. Distortions in the shape of the profile of recorded and decaying structures of population and of the refractive index are taken into account. The analysis of the time dependences of diffraction efficiencies of different orders is performed for phase (thermal) and amplitude (concentration) gratings.     

Nitroazines. 20. Simple syntheses of nitropyrazolopyridines from aliphatic nitrosynthons and aminopyrazoles

Two variants of a synthesis for nitropyrazolopyridines from aminopyrazoles and two- or three-carbon nitrosynthons are examined.For Communication 19 see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1560–1564, November, 1992.     

Nitroazines. 4. Polarographic behavior of 5-nitropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and the esr spectra of their electrochemically generated free radicals

1-Methyl- and 1-phenyl-substituted derivatives of 5-nitropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines are reduced at a dropping mercury electrode in a single one-electron wave with the formation of radical anions in interval of potentials from –0.94 to –1.06 V. Compounds unsubstituted at the N(₁) nitrogen atom give an additional polarographic wave at E_1/2 = –1.4 V due to the reduction of the deprotonated form (anion). The potentials and HFS constants of the ESR spectra of the corresponding electrochemically generated free radicals are given.For Communication 3, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 689–693, May, 1985.     

An investigation of the structure of the nitration products of 1-phenyl-5-styryltetrazole using the mass-spectrometric method

Depending on the reaction conditions, the nitration of 1-phenyl-5-styryltetrazole (I) with nitric acid and nitrating mixture give 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-styryltetrazole, 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(4-nitrostyryltetrazole), and 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5-(4-nitrostyryl) tetrazole. The structures of the compounds obtained have been established by an analysis of their mass spectra and of the mass spectra of model compounds. The positions and sequences of entry of the nitro groups have been determined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 558–563, April, 1980.     

Chloromethyl-, dichloromethyl-, and trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines and their 4-oxides: method for the synthesis and tele-substitution reactions with C-nucleophiles

A simple procedure was developed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines and their 4-oxides containing the ClCH₂, Cl₂CH, or CCl₃ group at position 3 by cyclization of 2-aryl-2-hydrazono-1-oximinoethanes with the corresponding chloroacetonitriles. The reaction pathway depends on the number of halogen atoms in the acetonitrile used. The reactions with trichloroacetonitrile, monochloroacetonitrile, and dichloroacetonitrile afford 3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines, 3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides, and a mixture of the corresponding dichloromethyltriazines and their 4-oxides, respectively. The reactions of 3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines with indoles and phenols are accompanied by tele-substitution with elimination of halogen from the trichloromethyl group to give 5-indolyl- (or 5-hydroxyphenyl)-3-dichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines.     

Nitroazines. 6. Direct introduction of indole residues into 6-nitroazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

Non-charge-activated 6-nitroazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines have been reacted with indoles, and the effects of substituents in the azole moiety of the substrate molecule have been examined.For communication 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenni, No. 11, 1544–1549, November, 1986.     

Stable σ-adducts of 4,6-dinitrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine with alkoxide anions

The reaction of 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine with two equivalents of KN₃ in the presence of ROH results in stable Meisenheimer-type -adducts of 4,6-dinitrotetra-zolo[1,5-a]pyridine with RO^– anions (R = H, Alk, Ph). The mechanism of -complex formation was suggested. The structure of the -adduct with R = Me was established by IR and NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction analysis.For the preliminary communication, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An unusual aromatisation of dihydropyrimidines facilitated by reduction of the nitro group

An unusual aromatisation of the dihydropyrimidine fragment in 6-nitro-7-substituted-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines has first been found to occur in parallel with reduction of the nitro group using a number of reducing agents.
