2,2-Dioxo-1H-thieno[3,4-c][1,2]thiazines. Synthesis and some reactions of a new heterocycle

The first synthesis of substituted 2,2-dioxo-1-phenyl-1H-thieno[3,4-c][1,2]thiazines 2 and some of their reactions are achieved. Compounds 2 were prepared from the 3,5-dimethyl-1,1-dioxo-1,2-thiazine-4-carbaldehydes 1 by reaction with sulfur and triethyl amine in dimethylformamide under mild conditions. They were characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray structure analysis. The formylation, chlorination and oxidation of 2 are reported.     

Domino "[3+3]-cyclization-homo-Michael" reactions of 1,3-bissilyl enol ethers with 1,1-diacylcyclopropanes

The Lewis acid mediated domino "[3+3]-cyclization-homo-Michael" reaction of 1,3-bissilyl enol ethers with 1,1-diacylcyclopropanes allows an efficient one-pot synthesis of functionalized salicylates containing a halogenated side chain. A great variety of substitution patterns could be realized by variation of the starting materials and of the Lewis acid. The mechanism of the domino process was studied.     

Chemistry of polyfunctional molecules-123. Reactions of BiBr3, SbI3 and AsI3 with LiN(PPh2)2; X-ray structure of a cyclophosphazene salt containing arsenic(I)

BiBr₃ or SbI₃ react at 20°C with LiN(PPh₂)₂ (1) to give elementary Bi or Sb and the P---P coupled phosphazene ligand Ph₂P---N=PPh₂---PPh₂=N---PPh₂ (2). The reaction of AsI₃ with 1 at room temperature formed yellow needles of the eight-membered heterocycle (3), whereas AsI₃ interacted at 80°C with 1 in the molar ratio of 1:3 to give elementary arsenic and 2. Treatment of AsI₃ and 1 at 20°C in a 1:2 stoichiometry yielded the seven-membered, cyclic arsenium(I) salt

Alkylidenverbrückte, symmetrische, zweikernige Metallocenkomplexe als Katalysatoren für die Propylenpolymerisation

The synthesis is described of symmetric alkylidene bridged dinuclear zirconocene complexes. The influence of structural parameters and different cocatalysts such as methylaluminoxane (MAO), triphenyl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate- or tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane has been investigated for homogeneous propylene polymerization. The dinuclear catalysts show highest polymerization activities by activation with MAO. Activation with triphenyl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate results in polypropylenes with the highest degree of isotacticity. Compared to the mononuclear reference catalyst the dinuclear MAO activated complex achieved higher propylene polymerization activity and the polypropylene obtained from the dinuclear complex has a higher molecular weight than that one that was produced with the mononuclear complex.     

Theoretical studies on reductive etherification reactions between aromatic aldehydes and alcohols

The mechanism of reductive etherification reactions between aromatic aldehydes and alcohols has been investigated with the DFT(B3LYP)/6-31G method. One or two BH(3) molecules have been used to simulate the role of the catalyst and reducing agent. The solvent effects of the title reactions have been studied by the PCM model. It is found that the reactions between aromatic aldehydes and primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols can proceed more easily in a polar solvent such as acetonitrile. The results provide evidence in theory to broaden the applications of reductive etherification reactions for the optimization of the radiochemical synthesis process of (18)F-labeled ether radiotracers.     

Solvation largely accounts for the effect of N-alkylation on the properties of nickel(II/I) and chromium(III/II) cyclam complexes

The source of the effect of N-alkylation on the redox properties of Ni(II/I) and Cr(III/II) cyclam complexes has been investigated using DFT calculations. The structures of the anhydrous and hydrated complexes were optimized in the gas phase, and single point calculations were performed in a polarized continuum. The main results are the following: the decrease in outer sphere solvation upon N-alkylation is the major source of the relative stabilization of the lower oxidation state complexes by the tertiary amine ligands; tertiary amine nitrogen donors are stronger sigma-donors than the secondary amines, as predicted from the inductive effect of alkyls; steric strain elongates the metal-nitrogen bonds in the tertiary complexes and decreases the ligand strain energies; and the site of water binding to the complexes differs because of their different electronic structures (i.e., in the Ni complexes, the water molecules bind to the M[bond]N[bond]H sites, whereas in the Cr complexes they bind to the central metal cation). Outer sphere hydrogen bonding of water to the ligands in the coordination sphere lowers the ionization potentials by charge delocalization.
