Imidazopyeidine derivatives as polymethine dyes

Several new polymethine dyes of the cyanine and merocyanine series with 1-methyl-1H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridine residues were synthesized, and their colors were studied. Replacement of the benzimidazole residue in the cyanine dyes by a l-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine residue leads to deepening of the dye color.See [1] for communication II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1561–1565, November, 1971.     

Trivalent phosphorus thiocyanides

Conclusions The acid chlorides of thiophosphorous and thiophosphonous acids react with trimethylsilyi cyanide to give the corresponding trivalent phosphorus thiocyanides, which give the-cyanoalkyl esters of phosphorus thioacids when reacted with carbonyl compounds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 939–940, April, 1982.     

Spectrophotometric investigation of the reaction of eriochrome cyanin RC and magnesium and aluminium

The reaction of magnesium or aluminium ions with Eriochrome Cyanin RC in alkaline medium leads to formation of a complex of type ML. The molar absorptivities of the complexes are 1.90 +/- 0.14 x 10(3)1. mole(-1).cm(-1) at 570 nm for the magnesium complex and 3.87 +/- 0.04 x 10(4) at 555 nm for the aluminium complex. The conditional stability constants of the complexes were determined at various pH values, and hence the overall formation constants, which were found to be log beta(111) = 8.65 +/- 0.06 for MgOHL, log beta(121) = 22.29 +/- 0.05 for AlH(2)L, log beta(111) = 18.25 +/- 0.14 for AlHL, and log beta(101) = 13.66 +/- 0.01 for AlL.     

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach: V. Ionization potentials and one-electron properties of cyclopentadiene and 1-sila-cyclopentadiene-(2,4)

The valence ionization potentials (IP's) of cyclopentadiene and 1-sila-cyclopentadiene-(2,4) are studied by an ab initio many-body approach which includes the effect of electron correlation and reorganization beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation. The Hartree-Fock approximation gives the correct ordering of the IP's for cyclopentadiene but this ordering does not agree with the results of the previous experimental and theoretical studies. The ordering is 1a₂(π), 2b₁(π), 4b₂, 6a₁, 5a₁, 3b₂, 1b₁ (π), 4a₁, 2b₂, 3a₁. For sila-cyclopentadiene the ordering of the IP's is: 1a₂(π), 4b₂, 2b₁(π), 6a₁, 1b₁(π), 5a₁, 3b₂, 4a₁, 3a₁, 2b₂. The Hartree-Fock approximation is found to be incorrect with respect to the ordering of the 4b₂ and 2b₁(π) IP's. A number of one-electron properties are calculated in the one-particle approximation and compared with the available experimental data.     

Pyridylethylation of some heterocyclic thioamides and potential mercaptans

2-Pyridylethylation of benzazothiones-2 which are potential mercapto compounds (benzothiazolethione-2, benzoxazolethione-2, 1-methylbenzoimidazolethione-2, benzoimidazolethione-2, 5, 6-dimethylbenzoimidazolethione-2), is described, as well as preparation of 5, 6-dimethylbenzoimidazolethione-2 by direct oxidation of 5, 6-dimethylbenzoimidazole.     

Ab initio MO-SCF calculation on a model of anomalous water

Ab initio calculations are carried out on the planar hexamer model of anomalous water using a variety of basis sets. The results are compared to results of similar calculations on free water and water in the ice I-like puckered ring configurations.

Zusammenfassung Es werden ab initio-Rechnungen für das planare Hexamer-Modell von anomalem Wasser unter Verwendung mehrerer BasissÄtze durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Resultaten Ähnlicher Rechnungen über freies Wasser und Wasser in der I-Eis Ähnlichen Konfiguration verzerrter Ringe verglichen.

Structure and conformational isomerism of the major dimer of 2,3-naphthoquinodimethane

The major product from 2,3-naphthoquinodimethane formed by cyclisation of $\text{o}$-dipropadienylbenzene was found to be the dimer 5 containing an eight-membered ring, for which the inversion barrier was determined by dynamic ¹H NMR spectrometry, ΔG3 = 18 kcal/mole.     

Unusual dealkylations and rearrangements in aromatic nucleophilic substitution

The reaction of 2,4-dinitrohalobenzenes with di-isopropylamine produces mainly N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-isopropylamine and N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-n-propylamine instead of the expected straightforward substitution product. Dealkylations are also observed in the reactions with isopropylcyclohexylamine and dicyclohexylamine. A carbanionic mechanism is proposed.
