Synthesis and Heterocyclization of 3-Arylaminothiocrotonanilides

Reactions of acetylthioacetanilide with arylamines in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate give 3-arylaminothiocrotonanilides in good yields. When treated with -bromoacetophenone in acetone, these products are converted to substituted 4-hydroxy-²-thiazolinium bromides, one of which was dehydrated to obtain the corresponding thiazolium bromide. The structure of the heterocyclization products was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR study of 2-acetonylidene-3,4-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole formed by dehydration of the corresponding ²-thiazolinium salt with simultaneous hydrolysis.     

The cyclic fixation and reduction of molecular nitrogen with [WH4(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] in γ-irradiated solutions

Yields of NH₃ and N₂H₄ in radiation-catalytic reduction of N₂ by means of a hydride complex of W^IV with dppe in thf solution and in mixtures of thf with other solvents have been estimated. A mechanism proposed earlier of reduction of coordinated N₂ has been confirmed and the role of solvent in reduction of N₂ to NH₃ and amines has been explained.     

The electron-impact induced fragmentation of substituted 4-styrylquinolines

The fragmentation of 4-styrylquinoline (I), 4-(p-nitrostyryl)-quinoline (II), 4-(p-chlorostyryl)-quinoline (III), 4-(p-hydroxystyryl)-quinoline (IV), 4-(p-methoxystyryl)-quinoline (V), 4-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-quinoline (VI) and 4-(p-cyanostyryl)-quinoline (VII) under electron-impact in the mass spectrometer is reported. The role and the influence of substituents on the fragmentation scheme is discussed. The loss of the substituents from the molecular ion is correlated with LCAOMO quantities.     

Encapsulating bis(beta-ketoiminato) polyethers. Volatile, fluorine-free barium precursors for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

The synthesis, characterization, and incorporation in volatile metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) precursors of a new class of linked beta-ketoiminate-polyether-beta-ketoiminate ligands is presented. These ligands are designed to encapsulate alkaline-earth cations having low charges and large ionic radii. Barium complexes having the general formula Ba[(RCOCHC(R')N)2(R")] (R = tert-butyl or CF3; R' = tert-butyl, methyl, or CF3; R" = -(CH2CH2O)4CH2CH2- or -(CH2CH2O)5CH2CH2)-) were prepared and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2,2,5,25,28,28-hexamethyl-9,12,15,18,21-pentaoxa-4,25-diene-6,24- diimino-3,27-pentacosadionatobarium(II) reveals a monomeric, nine-coordinate, tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination geometry. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of 1,1,1,24,24,24-hexafluoro-4,21-ditrifluoromethyl-8,11,14,17- tetraoxa-3,21-diene-5,20-diimino-2,23-tetracosadionatobarium(II).2DMSO reveals a monomeric, ten-coordinate, distorted tetracapped trigonal prismatic coordination geometry. Volatility data are presented for these barium complexes, demonstrating viability as MOCVD precursors. In addition, it is demonstrated that thin epitaxial films of BaTiO3 can be grown on (001) MgO by low-pressure MOCVD techniques using one of these barium complexes and Ti(dipivaloylmethanate)2(isopropoxide)2 as precursors.     

Coherent population transfer in molecules coupled with a dissipative environment by intense ultrashort chirped pulse. II. A simple model

We have developed a simple and physically clear picture of adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) in molecules in solution by careful examination of all the conditions needed for ARP. The relaxation effects were considered in the framework of the Landau-Zener model for random crossing of levels. The model enables us to include into consideration non-Markovian Gaussian-correlated noise. It explains all the numerical results obtained in the first paper of the series [B. D. Fainberg and V. A. Gorbunov, J. Chem. Phys. 117, 7222 (2002)], in particular, that for positive chirp pulse excitation relaxation favors more efficient population transfer with respect to the relaxation-free system with frozen nuclear motion. We also relate parameters of non-Markovian Gaussian-correlated noise with irreversible dephasing time of an optical transition by calculating the photon echo signal attenuation.     

Synthesis of 2-alkyl-3-(2-benzoxazolon-3-yl)indoles

It was shown that 3-(2-oxoalkyl)-2-benzoxazolones with phenylhydrazine in the presence of polyphosphoric acid form the corresponding 2-alkyl-3-(2-benzoxazolon-3-yl)-indoles.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1086–1087, August, 1984.     

Synthesis and properties of N-methylmorpholinium 4aryl-6-methyl-5-phenylcarbamoyl-3cyano-1,4dihydropyridine-2-thiolates. Molecular and crystalline structure of 2allylthio-6-methyl-5-phenylcarbamoyl-4-(2chlorophenyl)-3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridine

By the condensation of an aromatic aldehyde, the anilide of acetoacetic acid, cyanothioacetamide, and Nmethylmorpholine, substituted N-methylmorpholinium 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates have been synthesized and subsequently used in the synthesis of the corresponding thiones, 2-alkylthiopyridines, thieno[2, 3b]pyridines, and disulfides. X-ray diffraction has been used to establish the structure of 2-allylthio-6-methyl-5phenylcarbamoyl-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-cyano-1, 4-dihydropyridine.T. G.

2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-perimidylphenols and their oxidation

1,8-Naphthylenediamine was reacted with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-formyl-phenol to produce 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(1,3-dihydro-perimidyl) phenol (I). The latter was coverted into 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(1H-perimidyl)phenol (II) by oxidizing I with sodium pyrosulfate. When phenol II was oxidized by lead dioxide in toluene and THF, the EPR spectra revealed a 12-component multiplet with perimidyl splitting constants a¹ _N=a³ _N=a_H ^NH=0.2 mT; a_H ^6.7=0.6 mT.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 28, No. 1, pp. 64–67, January, 1992.     

Correlation of the position of the bond functions in H-X with electronegativity

S type Gaussian bond functions are optimized for HF, H₂O, NH₃, and CH₄. The optimization is carried out with respect to the exponent and position in the H-X bond. The position is found to correlate well with the electronegativity of Pauling and Allred-Rochow.
