Cycloadditionsreaktionen von Organometall-Komplexen : XV. [2 + 31- und [2 + 1]-Cycloadditionsreaktionen von Carbonylrhodium- und Carbonylcobalt-Komplexen mit Nitriloxiden und Aziden. Die Kristall- und Molekülstruktur von C5H5(PPr3) (C6H5)

The reaction of C₅H₅Rh(CO)(PⁱPr₃) (1] which is prepared from C₅H₅Rh(CO)₂ and neat P¹Pr₃, with the nitriloxides 2-RC₆H₄CNO (R = H, Cl) leads to the formation of the metallaheterocycles C₅H₅(P¹Pr₃) ) (2, 3) in 90–95% yield. Compound 1 reacts with tosylazide to give the C,N-bound isocyanate complex C₅ H₅(PⁱPr₃)Rh(η²-TosN=C=O) (6). Analogously, on treatment of C₅Me₅Co(CO)(PMe₃) with phenylazide the phenylisocyanate derivative C₅Me₅(PMe₃)Co(η²-PhN=C=O) (7) is formed. Protonation of 7 with CF₃CO ₂H affords the non-ionic carbamoylcobalt complex C₅Me₅(PMe₃)Co[C(O)NHPh](O₂CCF₃) (8). The X-ray structural analysis of 2 reveals the presence of an almost planar heterocycle in which the two Rh-C distances differ by 0.045 Å     

New transformations of vinyl acetate under the influence of the complex Rh(PPh3)3Cl

The strictly regioselective hydrocarboxylation of vinyl acetate to ethylidene diacetate by acetic acid formed in situ from vinyl acetate was realized for the first time with Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl as catalyst. The transformation of vinyl acetate into benzene, acetophenone, and acetylene was also realized.Institute of Organic Chemistry, Urals Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 420083 Ufa.

Influence of defoliating agents on the level of some secondary metabolites in cotton-plant leaves

The change in the composition of the secondary metabolites (SMs) of cotton-plant leaves under the influence of two modifications of defoliating agents in the period of leaf fall has been studied. It has been shown that, in contrast to the dynamics of the SMs in genetic deciduous lines, up to the period of leaf-fall the amount of free sterols in the petioles decreases, while in the leaf blades it remains unchanged. In experiments with cotyledons, the opposite effect was observed. In all cases, the amount of polyprenols decreased substantially.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbekistan Republic Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

Bis(Cyclodisilazan-1-yl)dimethylsilane Synthese und Reaktionen

Bis(cyclodisilazane-1-yl) dimethylsilanes — Synthesis and Reactions The monolithium derivate of trisilazan-1-yl-cyclodisilazane 1 reacts with F₃SiN (SiMe₃)₂ with substitution. The silyl-bridged cyclodisilazanes 3–6 are formed in the reaction of the dilithium derivate of 1 with fluoro- and chlorosilanes. Using lithiumamide and lithiummethanolate a controlled exchange of one fluoro atom of 4 occurs ( 7,8 ). 9 and 10 are formed by hydrolysis of 4 . The aminofunctional compounds 11 und 12 are obtained in the reaction of 5 and 6 with NH₃. The dispirocyclus 13 is formed in the reaction of 8 with tert.-butyllithium. The reaction of dilithiated 1 with 4 gives the spirocyclus 14 . The crystal structure of 14 is discussed.     

Isomerisierung bei der Komplexbildung von 3-Acetyl-tetramsäure: Struktur und magnetische Eigenschaften des CuII- und NiII-Komplexes von 2,7-Bis(1′, 5′, 5′-trimethylpyrrolidin-2′, 4′-dion-3′ -yl)-3, 6-diazaocta-2, 6-dien

Isomerization at the Complexation of 3-Acetyltetramic Acid: Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Cu^II- and Ni^II-Complex of 2,7-Bis (1′, 5′, 5′ -trimethylpyrrolidin-2′,4′ -dion-3′ -yl)-3,6-diazaocta-2,6-dien 2,7-Bis(1′, 5′, 5′ -trimethylpyrrolidin-2′, 4′ -dion-3′ -yl)-3,6-diazaoctadien formes Cu^II and Ni^II complexes with different constitutions (because of the Z/E isomerization). Results of X-ray analysis of N,N′ -ethylenbis(1′, 5′, 5′ -trimethylpyrrolidin-2′, 4′ -dion-3′ -acetiminato)nickel(II) 1 respectively -copper(II) 2 shows, that the complexing agent in 1 occurs in the E-form, whereas the ligand of the Cu^II complex forms the Z-form. Magnetic susceptibility and shift effects of the ¹³C-NMR signals point to a weak paramagnetism of the Ni^II complex. ESR-spectra are obtained from 2 only. Furthermore, the Cu^II complex reduces the relaxation times T₁ and T₂ of ¹H and ¹⁷O nuclei spins from water. From the temperature dependence of the shortening of the relaxation times an activation energy is calculated which describes the reorientation of the copper complex in the “water matrix”.
