Nucleophilic substitution in 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro- and 6,7-difluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-alkenyl-1,4-methanonaphthalenes and related compounds. A search for homoallylic conjugation

The second-order rate constants for the nucleophilic replacement of fluorine by isopropoxide in 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro- and 6,7,-difluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-alkenyl-1,4-methanonaphthalenes and related 9-alkyl systems have been measured. A factor of 6 - 7 separates the most reactive compounds [the 9- (4′-trifluoromethylbenzylidene) derivatives] from the least reactive compounds [the syn-9-isopropyl derivatives] in both the tetrafluoro- and difluoro-series. It is concluded for these small reactivity differences.

Hydrosilylation of N-allylpyrrolidine and N-allylpiperidine

It was found that the hydrosilylation of N-allylpyrrolidine and N-allylpiperidlne by trialkylsilanes, triethoxysilane, and 3H-heptamethyltrisiloxane in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ · 6H₂O proceeds to form -adducts.Communication XXXII from the series Nitrogen-Containing Organosilicon Compounds.

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.
