Formation of phosphonates and pyrophosphates in the reactions of chlorophosphate esters with strong organic bases

The compounds S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₂O)₂P(O)Cl (1), CH₂(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₂O)₂P(O)Cl (2) and (2,2′-C₂₀H₁₂O₂)P(O)Cl (3) react with diazabicycloundecene (DBU) to give rise to, predominantly, the phosphonate compounds [S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₆O)₂P(O)(DBU)]⁺[Cl]⁻ (4), [CH₂(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₂O)₂P(O) (DBU)]⁺[Cl]⁻ (5) and [(2,2′-C₂₀Hi₂O₂)P(0)(DBU)]⁺[Cl]^- (6). The first two compounds could be isolated in the pure state. In analogous reactions of 1 and 2 with diazabicyclononene (DBN) or N-methyl imidazole, only the pyrophosphates [S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₂O)₂P(O)]₂O (7) and [CH₂(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C₆H₂O)₂P(O)]₂O (8) could be isolated, although the reaction mixture showed several other compounds in the phosphorus NMR. A possible pathway for the formation of phosphonate salts is proposed. The X-ray crystal structures of4,7 and8 are also discussed.

Internal bremsstrahlung and double internal bremsstrahlung in initial p-state electron capture

Internal bremsstrahlung (IB) and double internal bremsstrahlung (DIB) have been studied for initial p-state electron capture. In the case of IB the relative contributions of discrete and continuum intermediate states have been calculated and, in contrast to IB in initial Is state capture, it has been found that the contributions from the discrete intermediate states are dominant. Calculations for DIB have been extended and some approximations used in earlier calculations are shown to be reasonable. Predictions are made for DIB in the EC decay of SU55 Fe and ¹³¹Cs, nuclei which may be suitable for experimental investigations.     

Metal-free synthesis of quinolines by direct condensation of amides with alkynes: revelation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl nitrilium intermediates by 2D NMR techniques

Employing triflic anhydride/2-fluoropyridine as an activation system, the coupling reactions of secondary N-aryl amides with terminal alkynes yielded substituted quinolines in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction tolerated both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups at the benzamide moiety. Electron-rich aryl acetylenes served as excellent coupling partners, and aliphatic terminal alkynes such as cyclopropyl and conjugate vinyl acetylenes could also be used as reaction partners. By means of 2D NMR techniques (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC)), nitrilium ions were probed as reactive intermediates which are in contrast with that suggested by Movassaghi on the basis of in situ IR monitoring experiments. On the basis of these results, a plausible mechanism for the formation of quinolines was suggested.     

The separation of overlapping peaks in cyclic voltammetry by means of semi-differential transformation

A method for extracting single peaks from complex linear sweep and cyclic voltamperograms is presented. Voltamperograms are transformed by means of semidifferentiation, then all undesired peaks are removed from the semiderivative curve and replaced by calculated baselines. The resulting curve is semiintegrated back, giving a voltamperogram with one peak only. Baselines in the semiderivative domain are determined by the least-squares curve-fitting of datapoints from peak border regions, using the equation that describes the semiderivative peak of a reversible electrode process. With this procedure peaks can be removed without assumptions about the mechanism of the underlying electrode reaction. Due to its design, the algorithm presented is suitable for the fully automatic processing of cyclic and linear sweep voltamperograms. Performance of the procedure was checked with generated reversible voltamperograms as well as in real experiments with both reversible and irreversible systems. The smallest distance between two peaks of equal height, for which the described method can yield correct results, has been found to be 110 mV for a reversible one-electron process at 298 K. This procedure can also be applied to the elimination of the cathodic current from the cyclic voltamperogram of a single component in order to get a pure anodic current value, free from cathodic contribution, or vice versa.     

Transverse dephasing optimized solid-state NMR spectroscopy

It is shown how coherence lifetimes in solid-state NMR experiments can be controlled. New decoupling schemes are introduced which actively optimize dephasing times, providing increases of up to a factor of 2 with respect to the best existing schemes. The new schemes are implemented in transverse-dephasing-optimized (TDOP) NMR experiments for the disorded solid cellulose, and for a microcrystalline protein, where sensitivity improvements of up to a factor of 5 are obtained.
