Nucleophilic addition to acetylenes in superbasic catalytic systems: XV. Vinylation of 2-hydroxymethylfuran

2-Hydroxymethylfuran reacted with acetylene in superbasic catalytic systems MOH-DMSO (M = Na, K) under mild temperature conditions (75–85°C, 1–2 h), yielding 80% of 2-vinyloxymethylfuran. The product, as well as acetaldehyde acetals derived therefrom, turned out to be promising as modifiers for electrolyte in lithium-sulfur rechargeable batteries.     

Influence of the Chemical Structure of 4-Hydroxybenzylidenealkanones on Nonlinear Optical Properties of Their Complexes with Poly-1,10-Decamethyleneacetamidine

The influence exerted by the length exerted by the conjugation chain in 4-hydroxybenzylidenealkanones on the generation of the third harmonic by complexes of these chromophores with aliphatic polyamidine was studied.

Quantum-chemical investigation of the protonated forms of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole

The electron and conformational structures, as well as the internal rotation, of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole and its -protonated forms were studied by the MNDO method with complete optimization of the geometry. In conformity with the experiments (PMR), the two delocalized cations with a cis orientation of the heteroatoms that are formed as a result of protonation of the pyrrole or furan ring have the greatest and virtually equal stabilities (H=738.7 and 740.6 kJ/mole).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 746–753, June, 1991.
