The crystal structure will be shown and discussed.     

Synthesis of 4,10-dihydro-4,10-dioxo-1H-[1]-benzopyrano[3,2-b]pyridine, 4,5-Dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1H-[1]-benzopyrano[2,3–6]pyridine and 1,5-Dihydro-1,5-dioxo-4H-[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives from aminobenzopyrones

3-Aminochromone and 3-aminocoumarin were condensed with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate and with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give intermediates, which were thermally cyclized to give 4,10-dihydro-4,10-dioxo-lH-[1]-benzopyrano[3,2-b]pyridinecarboxylates and 1,5-dihydro-1,5-dioxo-4H-[1]-benzopyrano-[3,4-b]pyridinecarboxylates. 2-Aminochromone was converted to 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1H-[1]-benzopyrano-[2,3-b]pyridinecarboxylate via an intermediate condensation product with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate. These esters were hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids (21, 30, 36, 50, and 60). Attempts to prepare 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1H-[1]-benzopyrano[4,3-b]pyridinecarboxylates from 4-aminocoumarin were unsuccessful.     

Degenerate lithium-hydrogen exchange reactions: Ab initio models for metallation mechanisms involving H2, CH4, NH3, H2O,and HF

Hydrogen exchange reactions between lithium and sodium compounds, MX (M=Li: X=H, CH₃, NH₂, OH, F; M=Na: X=CH₃), and the corresponding hydrides, HX, have been modelled by means of ab initio calculations including electron correlation and zero point energy (ZPE) corrections. Small or no activation barriers (from the initial complexes) are encountered in systems involving lone pairs (10.8, 2.4, 0.0 kcal/mol for X=NH₂, OH, F, respectively). Since the association energies of the initial complexes are much larger (21.0, 20.4, 23.5 kcal/mol, respectively; MP2/6–31+G*/6–31+G* + ZPE), such exchange reactions should occur spontaneously in the gas phase. The methyl systems (X=CH₃) have the largest barriers: 26.7 (M=Li) and 31.7 (M=Na) kcal/mol (MP2/6–31+G*/6–31G* + ZPE), and the initial complexes are only weakly bound. The significance of these systems as models for hydrogen exchange reactions in complexes of electropositive transition metals is discussed. However, the gegenion-free exchange of hydrogen between CH₃ and CH₄ has a much lower, 11.8 kcal/mol barrier (MP2/6–31+G*/6–31+G* + ZPE). All the transition structures are highly ionic (charges on the metals > +0.8). The effect of aggregation has been considered by examining the hydrogen exchange between (LiX)₂ and HX(X=H, CH₃, NH₂, OH). Although these dimer reactions formally involve six, instead of four electrons, no “aromatic” preference is observed.     

15N-NMR study of activated enamines. Structural dependence of δ (15N) and nJ(N,H) in primary,secondary and tertiary enamino-ketones,esters and amides

The pulse sequence INEPT was used to obtain proton-coupled ¹⁵N-NMR spectra in natural isotope abundance for enamines substituted in 2-position with electron-with-drawing groups. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are discussed in terms of their relationship to structural features such as multiple N-alkyl substitution, double-bond configuration, H-bonding, N-lone-pair delocalization within the conjugated system, and steric effects. It is concluded that ¹⁵N chemical shifts are a sensitive probe for local structural modifications at the N-atom and conformational changes in a remote part of a conjugated molecule, while one-bond N,H-coupling essentially reflects N-hybridization and subtle local geometric distortions. Stereospecific three-bond N,H spin coupling to olefinic protons (4.0 ± 0.2 Hz) has been found a characteristic feature of (Z)-isomers in all investigated compounds, whereas two-bond coupling to olefinic protons (²J(N,H) = 0.5 to 5 Hz) is observed in (E)-isomers. The sensitivity to solvents and steric properties of remote substituents renders geminal coupling a useful probe for studying electronic effects in the C? N bond.

Deprotonation and dimerization of maleimide in the triplet state: a laser flash photolysis study with optical and conductometric detection

The photochemistry of maleimide in aqueous solution is governed by the coexistence of up to three different triplet states, the keto triplet (lambda(max)=250, 330 nm, lambda(min)=290 nm, pK(a)=4.4+/-0.1, tau=5 micros), the deprotonated or enolate triplet (lambda(max)=360, 260 nm, lambda(min)=320 nm, shoulder at 370-380 nm) and a dimer triplet. This biradical is formed by the addition of the keto triplet to the double bond of a ground state maleimide in competition with electron transfer, (k( (3)MI+MI)=2.6 x 10(9) dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)). Its spectrum is identical to that of the maleimide H-adduct radical (lambda(max)=370-380 (broad), 255 nm (narrow), lambda(min)=290 nm) and its lifetime is 110 ns. While protolysis is confined to maleimide and aqueous solutions, the dimer triplet is also found in acetonitrile. Dimer triplet formation is also observed with N-ethylmaleimide. Time-resolved conductometry and buffer experiments were used to characterise excited state protolysis. Multi-wavelength "global analysis" of the time profiles allowed the separation of the transient spectra and study of the kinetics of the monomer and dimer triplets. The cyclobutane dimer yield (determined by GC) is independent of maleimide concentration. This indicates that the dimer triplet does not contribute significantly to the initiation of free-radical polymerisation. Time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations agree with the experimental data and further confirm the proposed mechanisms.     

Synthese,Struktur und Eigenschaften der Tetraarsenidometallate(V) M7[TAs4] (M = K,Rb; T = Nb,Ta)

Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of the Tetraarsenidometallates(V) M₇[TAs₄] (M = K, Rb; T = Nb, Ta) The tetraarsenidometallates(V) M₇[TAs₄] (M = K, Rb; T = Nb, Ta) have been prepared from RbAs, KAs, Rb₃As, K₃As, and Nb or Ta in sealed Nb(Ta) ampoules at T = 1100 K. They crystallize in a new structure type oP24 (Pmn2₁, no. 31); K₇[NbAs₄]: a = 1019.2(2) pm, b = 916.2(2) pm, c = 830.6(1) pm; K₇[TaAs₄]: a = 1017.3(2) pm, b = 915.5(2) pm, c = 830.5(2) pm; Rb₇[NbAs₄]: a = 1059.2(4) pm, b = 952.8(4) pm, c = 860.4(4) pm; Z = 2 formula units per unit cell). The compounds form dark red crystals and they are sensitive against air and moisture. They are semiconductors with E_g = 1.80 eV. The thermal decomposition in dynamical vacuum gives evidence for the existance of K₄TAs₃ and K₂TAs₂ (T = Nb, Ta). Main structural units are polar oriented tetrahedra [TAs₄] with d (T – As) = 252.2(1) pm; 251.3(1) pm; 253.0(4) pm, respectively. The As atoms are trigonal prismatically coordinated by M and T atoms. These trigonal prisms form anionic and cationic layers [M₄As₂]^2? and _∞²[M₃TAs₂]²⁺ alternating along the b axis. The structure is comparable with that of Co₂P and can be described as a stuffed shear variant of the Na₆□ZnO₄ type of structure.     

Strahlenchemie von alkoholen—IX Die UV-photolyse (λ = 185 nm) von methanol in flüssiger phase

The UV photolysis (λ = 185 nm) of liquid methanol yields hydrogen, glycol, formaldehyde, methane and traces of ethane in quantum yields of 0·83, 0·78, 0·058, 0·05 and 0·002 resp. (related to φ(H₂) = 0·4 of the ethanol-actinometer (5 mole/1 in water)). The isotopic distribution of the hydrogen (85% HD) formed in the photolysis of CH₃OD shows, that as in the gasphase² the scission of the O---H-bond (1) is the major process. CH₃OH + hv (λ = 185 nm) → CH₃O^• + H^• (1)

In methanoi-water mixtures (nearly all the light of the wavelength λ = 185 nm is absorbed by methanol) the quantum yields of hydrogen, glycol, methane and ethane are greatly reduced, while the formaldehyde yield remains unaffected. In 1 molar solution φ(H₂) = 0·42, φ(glycol) = 0·32 and φ(CH₄) = 6 x 10⁻⁴ is obtained. Ethane cannot be detected.
