Synthesis and configuration of diastereomeric 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids and their dimethyl esters

The reduction in an acidic medium over a platinum catalysts of 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2.6-pyridinedicarboxylic acids gave cis-2,4-, -2,5-, and -2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids, heating of which in an alkaline medium led to thermodynamically equilibrium mixtures of diastereomers. Individual trans-2,5-piperidinecarboxylic acid was isolated. The configurations of the 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids and their methyl esters were established by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 367–371, March, 1985.     

Three-dimensional structure of 3-acylindoles

On the basis of a comparison of the experimental dipole moments with the calculated values, as well as data from the UV, IR, and PMR spectra, it is shown that 3-acylindoles exist in the form of equilibrium mixtures of the planar S-cis and S-trans conformers with preponderance of the latter.DeceasedTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1647–1652, December, 1982.     

The thermodynamic parameters of formation of ions in the interaction of alkylaluminum with electron donors

The thermodynamic parameters of formation of ions in the system AlMe₃ + electron donor (D) in the presence and absence of water microimpurities were determined. The structure of these ions was studied and their concentration in nonpolar media was estimated for the example of D = pyridine. The conclusion was drawn from the results of calculations that the participation of water resulted in a substantial increase in the concentration of ions.
