Potentialfeld- und Kraftkonstanten voncis- undtrans-Difluordiazin

Zusammenfassung Ancis-Difluordiazin planarer Konfiguration mit C_2v-Symmetrie und antrans-Difluordiazin planarer Konfiguration mit zentrosymmetrischer Struktur mit C_2h-Symmetrie wurde eine Schwingungs- und Strukturanalyse unter Verwendung eines modifizierten Valenzkraftfeldes mit sechs Kraftkonstanten ausgeführt. Die Berechnung der Kraftkonstanten erfolgte nach gruppentheoretischen Methoden auf der Grundlage der Ergebnisse neuerer Struktur- und verfeinerter Schwingungsanalysen. Die Ergebnisse werden mit den an Molekülen mit ähnlichen chemischen Bindungen und angenähert identischen Kernabständen erhobenen verglichen.

Potential field and force constants of cis- and trans-difluorodiazines

Vibrational and structural analysis ofcis-difluorodiazine possessing a planar configuration with C_2v symmetry and oftrans-difluorodiazine possessing a planar configuration of centrosymmetrical structure with C_2h symmetry has briefly been made. A modified six-force constant valence force field has been employed and the force constants have been evaluated from the recent structural and refined vibrational data for bothcis- andtrans-difluorodiazines by the group theoretical method. A brief discussion of the results has been made in relation to other molecules having similar chemical bonds with nearly identical internuclear distances.

Electrochemical mass spectroscopic and surface photovoltage studies of catalytic water photooxidation by undoped and carbon-doped titania

Carbon-doped TiO2, demonstrated as an efficient photocatalyst in visible light photooxidation of organic compounds, was prepared with different doping concentrations and investigated via differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) and capacitive surface photovoltage (SPV) measurements in the form of thin layer electrodes. In all cases the total photocurrent as well as the surface photovoltage of the doped materials decreased markedly in relation to the undoped one. No detectable oxygen evolved from the doped electrodes in acidic solution under UV-light excitation. Since an oxidation of formic acid is still apparent, it is concluded that this oxidation occurs via isolated, catalytically poorly active trap states within the forbidden energy region. The existence of these states is confirmed by capacitive SPV measurements.

Synthesis of spiropyrazoline [5.3′] 4′-chromanones

Synthesis of a series of novel 1,3-diphenyl-4-aryl spiropyrazolines [5.3′] 4′-chromanones has been accomplished in good yields by regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diphenylnitrilimine to 3-arylidene-4-chromanones. X-ray crystal structure analysis of one of the products 4a confirms the structure and the regiochemistry of cycloaddition. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 9:327–332, 1998     

Highly regio- and stereoselective Michael addition of pseudouridine with propiolates: An efficient method for the synthesis of (E)-pseudouridine-N1-acrylate

The Michael addition of pseudouridine with various propiolates in the presence of DBU as a base and DMF as a solvent is described. It is noteworthy that the reaction is highly regio- and stereoselective and affords (E)-pseudouridine-N1-acrylate in good yields with high purities.     

Highly regio- and chemoselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,6-heptadiynes with allenes catalyzed by cobalt complexes

The CoI2(PPh3)2/Zn system effectively catalyzes the [2 + 2 + 2] ene-diyne cycloaddition of 1,6-heptadiynes with allenes in a highly regio- and chemoselective fashion to yield substituted benzene derivatives in good to excellent yields.     

Highly regio- and chemoselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of electron-deficient diynes with allenes catalyzed by nickel complexes: a novel entry to polysubstituted benzene derivatives

Diynes 1a-c [X(CH(2)Ctbd1;CCO(2)Me)(2): X = (CH(2))(2), 1a, X = CH(2), 1b and X = O, 1c] undergo [2 + 2 + 2] ene-diyne cycloaddition reactions with a variety of allenes (n-butylallene 2a, phenylallene 2b, (4-chlorophenyl)allene 2c, (4-bromophenyl)allene 2d, (3-methoxyphenyl)allene 2e, 1-naphthylallene 2f, cyclohexylallene 2g and cyclopentylallene 2h) in the presence of Ni(dppe)Br(2) and Zn powder in CH(3)CN at 80 degrees C for 8 h to give the corresponding polysubstituted benzene derivatives 4a-l in good to excellent yields. Under similar reaction conditions, unsymmetrical diynes 5a-c (HCtbd1;CCH(2)XCH(2)Ctbd1;CCO(2)Me) react with allenes 2 to afford exclusively the corresponding meta-isomers 6a-g in 73-86% yields. The catalytic reaction is highly regioselective and completely chemoselective. This synthetic method is compatible with many functional groups such as Cl, Br, and OMe on the phenyl group of the allene moiety and an ether linkage in a diyne moiety. In this catalytic reaction, allenes are synthetically equivalent to terminal alkynes. Interestingly, unsymmetrical diyne 7 (MeCtbd1;C(CH(2))(4)Ctbd1;CCO(2)Me) undergoes 2:1 cocyclotrimerization with allenes 2a and 2g to afford the corresponding polysubstituted benzene derivatives 9a,b in 87% and 82% yields, respectively. A plausible mechanism involving a nickelacycloheptadiene intermediate is proposed to account for this nickel-catalyzed reaction.
