Condensation metallosupramolecular polymers containing main-chain 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties

Methods of preparing diverse metallosupramolecular polymers containing 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties in main chains and their properties have been considered and analyzed. It has been shown that these polymers offer new possibilities for the design of materials possessing valuable specific characteristics.     

Analogs of pyrimidine mono- and polynucleotides

The corresponding monophosphates, cyclophosphates, and , -diphosphates were obtained by phosphorylation of 1-(1, 4-dihydroxy-2-pentyl) thymine, 1-(1, 3-dihydroxy-2-propyl) uracil, and their derivatives with selective protection of one of the hydroxyl groups. 2-Cyanoethyl phosphate (CEP) in the presence of N, N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), polyphosphoric acid, and pyrophosphoryl chloride were used as phosphorylating agents. The dependence of the yields of the products of phosphorylation of 1-(1, 4-dihydroxy-2-pentyl) thymine with CEP on the ratio of the reacting substances and the reaction time was studied. The monophosphates were cyclized under the influence of DCC. In the case of 1-(1, 3-dihydroxy-2-propyl) uracil 1-phosphate a dimeric phosphate was obtained in addition to a cyclophosphate. The acid hydrolysis of the cyclophosphates was investigated.See [1] for communication V; see [2] for a preliminary communication.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 678–683, May, 1978.     

π-Electronic structure of the nitrofuran system

Anion radicals of 2-vinylene derivatives of 5-nitrofuran were obtained by electrochemical generation. The hyperfine structure (hfs) of the ESR spectra of these anion radicals indicates delocalization of the unpaired electron over their entire π-electron system. The effect of the vinylene grouping on the distribution of the unpaired electron in the anion radicals and on the distribution of the unpaired electron in the vinylene grouping itself was examined on the basis of the hfs constants. It was found that the vinylene grouping by localizing more than 10% of the density of the unpaired electron on itself reduces, by a factor of 1.4, the effect of substituents in the 2 position of 5-nitrofuran on the distribution of the spin of the unpaired electron in the nitrofuran framework.

Chemical instabilities during oxidation of 1,4-naphthalenediol in a homogeneous medium: II. Thermodynamic analysis and mathematical modeling

A possible mechanism of 1,4-naphthalenediol oxidation in the oscillatory regime has been considered, and a mathematical model describing the kinetics has been developed. Based on a thermodynamic Lyapunov function, it has been shown that the source of chemical instabilities is in the existence of autocatalytic steps and dynamic feedbacks. Qualitative analysis and numerical solution of the set of differential equations that model the reaction kinetics have been performed. The character of the stationary state and the possibility of bifurcations have been determined. The mathematical model satisfactorily describes the processes occurring in the system.     

Cyclization of o-nitrosoacylbenzenes to anthranils

5-Bromo- and 5-methoxy-3-ethylanthranils, respectively, were obtained by cyclization of o-nitrosopropiophenone under the influence of hydrogen bromide in benzene and hydrogen chloride in methanol. In these reactions, the starting nitroso ketone undergoes redox transformations that also proceed readily in an inert solvent in the absence of any cyclizing reagents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 886–890, July. 1976.     

Protolytic reactions of 3,3'-dimethylnaphthidine and 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine

The dissociation constants of diprotonated 3,3'-dimethylnaphthidine (DMN) and 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine (DMB) have been determined spectrophotometrically. They are: pK(a1) = 2.62 +/- 0.03, pK(a2) = 3.33 +/- 0.09 for DMN: pK(a1) = 2.83 +/- 0.07, pK(a2) = 4.05 +/- 0.12 for DMB. The molar absorptivities (l.mole(-1).cm(-1)) of all forms of the indicators have been also determined: epsilon(B) = 1.68 x 10(4), epsilon(BH(+)) = 9.34 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(2+)(2)) = 1.80 x 10(3) at 300 nm for DMB; epsilon(B) = 7.33 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(+)) = 3.73 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(2+)(2)) = 0 at 330 nm for DMN.
