Condensation of methyl 2-chloro-3-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-epoxypropionate with 1,2-phenylene diamine

It is established that the -chloroepoxide methyl 2-chloro-3-(3-nitrophenyl)-2, 3-epoxypropionate, in contrast to its a-chloroketone isomer methyl 3-(3-nitrophenyl-3-chloro-2-oxopropionate, forms 2-(3-nitrophenyl-3methoxycarbonylquinoxaline in reaction with 1,2-phenylene diamine, whereas the condensation of the achloroketone with 1,2 phenylene diamine gives 3-(-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1105-1108, August, 1994.     

Synthesis of a symmetrical dithiirane

The reaction of p-xylene with epichlorohydrin in the presence of aluminum chloride gave 1,4-dimethyl-2,5-bis(1-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)benzene, which serves as the starting compound for the synthesis of the corresponding symmetrical dithiirane.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1319–1321, October, 1985.     

Combined application of 2D NMR correlation methods and ab initio chemical shift calculations to the structure determination of new heterocyclic compounds

The combined use of 2D NMR correlation methods and ab initio chemical shift calculations is efficient and, in some cases, virtually the only way to determine the structures of new organic compounds. This approach enabled us to establish the structure of the major unusual product of the three-component reaction of imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4-one, bis(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride, and potassium carbonate in DMF.

Highly Selective Ion-Sensitive Electrodes Based on Dibenzo-Crown Ethers Containing Functional Groups for the Determination of Potassium in Biological Fluids

The electrochemical properties of membranes based on dibenzo-crown ethers bearing hydroxyl and chloromethyl groups in polyether rings were studied. These substances were tested as membrane ionophores for ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) reversible to potassium ion. The developed ISEs were used for determining potassium in blood plasma samples. The generalized results of determining potassium in the blood of different patients with cardiovascular diseases revealed quantitative regularities that allowed the diseases to be diagnosed early.     

Local environment and dynamics of PO4 tetrahedra in Na-Al-PO3 glasses and melts

Glasses and melts in the system (NaPO3)(1-x)(Al(PO3)3)x were studied with the aim of obtaining information about the structure on the next larger scale beyond the PO4 group. Magic angle spinning NMR was applied to the pure NaPO3 glass and Raman scattering to systems with x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.15, and 0.60 in the temperature range T = 300-1100 K. Comparison of the 31P chemical shift between glass and crystalline forms revealed that polymerization of the metaphosphate into tricyclophosphatelike (PO3)3(3-) rings is the dominant structure, ca. 80%, formed by the twofold vertex-joined PO4 groups in the glass. In the Raman study we focused on the prominent polarized band at ca. 1170 cm(-1) which is due to the symmetric breathing mode of the tetrahedral PO4 group. This band was decomposed into a few Gaussian lines. These component lines could be identified using the NMR results: two narrow components are due to PO4 groups in the tricyclophosphatelike rings, which have either a Na or an Al counterion and a third broad component is due to chain-polymerized (PO3(-))n. The variations of the component lines (peak positions, widths, and intensities) with respect to x and T are presented. We derive the shifts of the symmetric breathing mode frequency which are caused by Na or Al counterions, by ring closure, by x > 0, etc. The relative intensities of the narrow and broad components in the 1170-cm(-1) band of the Raman spectra are discussed. The amount of ring-to-chain transformation on addition of Al3+, and as functions of T and x, is derived. Indications for ordering on a next larger scale, derivable from Raman, NMR, and thermodynamics, are compared.     

Synthesis of monoethers by addition of aliphatic diols to bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes

Addition of aliphatic diols to bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and its 5-alkyl-substituted derivatives in the presence of naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid leads to the formation of the corresponding bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl monoethers in high yields.     

Synthesis of some new derivatives of dithiene-and oxathienecarboxylic acids

Substituted anilides of 1,4-dithiene- and oxathienecarboxylic acids were synthesized. It was shown that the reaction of 3-phenyl-1,4-dithi-2-ene-2-carboxyl chloride with 2-aminopyridines, depending on the base used and the reaction conditions, leads to the formation of N-[3-phenyl-2-(1,4-dithi-2-en)ylcarbonyl]2-amino-pyridine and/or N,N-bis[3-phenyl-2-(1,4-dithi-2-en)-ylcarbonyl]pyridonimine. The data of IR, UV, and PME spectroscopy were used to confirm the structure of the synthesized compounds.A. E.

Evaluation of Multicenter Electronic Attraction, Electric Field and Electric Field Gradient Integrals with Screened and Nonscreened Coulomb Potentials over Integer and Noninteger n Slater Orbitals

By the use of complete orthonormal sets of -exponential-type orbitals, where ( = 1, 0, –1, –2,...) the multicenter electronic attraction (EA), electric field (EF) and electric field gradient (EFG) integrals of nonscreened and Yukawa-like screened Coulomb potentials are expressed through the two-center overlap integrals with the same screening constants and the auxiliary functions introduced in our previous paper (I.I. Guseinov, J. Phys. B, 3 (1970) 1399). The recurrence relations for auxiliary functions are useful for the calculation of multicenter EA, EF and EFG integrals for arbitrary integer and noninteger values of principal quantum numbers, screening constants, and location of slater-type orbitals. The convergence of the series is tested by calculating concrete cases.
