Conclusions Perfluoro-(2-isobutenyl-1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-butadiene) yields 1,4 addition products both in nucleophilic addition and in radical chlorination.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1061–1064, May, 1979.     

Reactions of 4-(o-carboranyl)pyrylium salts with nucleophilic agents. Synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles with an o-carboranyl substituent

Nitrogen heterocycles, viz., pyridines, pyridinium salts, diazepine, and pyrazoles, with an o-carboranyl substituent were obtained by reaction of 4-(o-carboranyl)-pyrylium perchlorates with nitrogen-containig nucleophilic agents, viz., ammonia, primary amines, hydrazine, and phenylhydrazine. Opening of the pyrylium ring without involvement of the carborane ring occurs under the influence of bases.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 454–458, April, 1981.     

NMR spectra and structure of phospeorylated isothiocyanates

Conclusions The chlorides of dialkyl- and alkylenephosphorous acids react with trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate to give the isothiocyanates of the corresponding phosphorous acids. The reaction goes stereospecifically with a retention of the configuration at the phosphorus atom.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 1380–1383, June, 1976.     

Peculiarities in the copolymerization of trioxane and epichlorohydrin under the influence of EtB⊖F3 A⊕lEt2

This study deals with the copolymerization of trioxane (TO) and 1-chloro-2, 3-epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin, ECH) catalyzed by EtB^?F₃ A^⊕lEt₂ in toluene. The rate of exhaustion of monomers during copolymerization was measured by gas chromatography. It was established that no homopolymers were formed. The copolymers obtained show a high alkali resistance, indicating a statistical distribution of the ECH in the polymer chain. During the first stages of the copolymerization the ECH is exhausted almost instantaneously, whereas TO is gradually exhausted, finally reaching a certain equilibrium depending both on the quantity of the initial ECH and on the temperature at which the process was carried out. Copolymerization is inhibited at increased ECH levels, and only homopolymerization occurs at a certain critical concentration of ECH.
