Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds on the basis of carboxylic acid arylamides

The exchange and cyclization of phenyliminooxalyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate, sodium azide, aniline, amidoximes, and diphenylthiourea, and with 2-aminopyridine, 2-aminobenzothiazole, and 2-amino- and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole were studied. The cyclization products are derivatives of thiazolidine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole, imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, and thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole. A trimer of 1-phenyltetrazole-5-carboxylic acid was obtained when an attempt was made to convert its azide to the corresponding isocyanate.See [1] for communication II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 471–474, April, 1971.     

Analysis of degradation products by thermal volatilization analysis at subambient temperatures

In the subambient thermal volatilization analysis (TVA) technique, degradation products initially at ?196°C are allowed to warm up to ambient temperature in a controlled manner under vacuum conditions, and volatilization from the sample tube to a trap at ?196°C is monitored by means of a Pirani gauge. The technique is discussed in relation to earlier TVA work in which volatilization from a heated polymer sample was followed. Design and operation of a subambient TVA system are described, and examples of the application of the technique to the study of the degradation products of seven polymers are considered.     

Behavior of 2-nitroso-4-nitropropiophenone under conditions of cyclization to haloanthranils

The cyclization of 2-nitroso-4-nitropropiophenone under the influence of hydrogen chloride proceeds in a more complex manner than in the cases previously described for other 4-substituted-2-nitrosopropiophenones: three, rather than two, haloanthranils are formed, and their formation is accompanied simultaneously by a number of redox transformations. This fact is explained by a decrease in the ability of the carbonyl group in the investigated ketone to undergo protonation.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1334–1337, October, 1976.
