Electronic regioselectivity in the reactions of pyridinium ylides with tetracyanoethylene

Highly regioselective reactions of pyridinium ylides with tetracyanoethylene occur via an Ad_N-E mechanism to form Z-isomers of 3-aroyl-3-(1-pyridinio)-1,1,2-tricyano-2-propenides-1, corresponding in structure to 1,4-ylides with maximum charge separation. If the unsaturated nitrite starting material contains a nucleofugal group 1,2-elimination predominates over 1,3-elimination.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1087–1094, August, 1991.     

Pyrrolo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives

A new method for obtaining pyrrolobenzothiazole derivatives, which can be used for the specific synthesis of polymethine dyes with predesignated properties, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 549–553, April, 1991.     

Molecular structure of N-mesityl-6H-anthra[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one

The molecular and crystalline structure of 1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-6H-anthra-[9,1-bc]pyrrol-6-one was determined by the x-ray structural method. There is a larger uniformity of the bonds in the benzene ring of the isoindole fragment than in the N-substituted isoindoles; this derives from the electronic influence of the keto group. The structure of the whole molecule does not have marked 1,10-anthraquinoid character.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 485–490, April, 1988.     

Ionization in antiproton-hydrogen collisions

Employing the semiclassical approximation we calculate within the coupled-state formalism the ionization probability in antiproton-hydrogen (p+H) collisions. In particular we investigate the adiabatic ionization at the distance of closest approach in almost central collisions. Striking differences in the electron excitation probability compared with proton-hydrogen (p+H) collisions are predicted.     

Reaction of 5-chloroanthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolone with oxygen-containing nucleophiles

Facile nucleophilic substitution of the chloride ion to give 5-alkoxy- or 5-aryloxy-anthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolones occurs in the reaction of 5-chloroanthra[1,9-cd]-6-isoxazolone with alcohols and phenols. The possibility of conversion of the synthesized isoxazolones to 1-amino-4-alkoxyanthraquinones is demonstrated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1329–1331, October, 1983.
