Azines and azoles. 64. Mass spectra and tautomerism of 2-aryl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-thiazines

Mass spectra of 2-aryl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-thiazines were studied and the general fragmentation paths of these compounds determined. Based on mass spectra of compounds with fixed structures, 2-aryl-5,5-dialkyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-thiazines, 4-alkoxy- and 4-acyloxy-2-aryl-6-oxo-1,3-thiazines, the decomposition paths of the dicarbonyl and hydroxycarbonyl forms were determined. It was concluded on the basis of the obtained data that 2-aryl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-thiazines exist in the gas phase predominantly in the hydroxycarbonyl form.For Communication 63, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1409–1412, October, 1987.

519—Reduction of hydrophobic porphyrin at the octane/water interface controlled by the specific adsorption of halogen anions

The redox reaction between the ferric complex of hydrophobic porphyrin and sodium dithionite in two different phases occurring at the interface between two immiscible liquids has been investigated by Volta potential measurements and spectroscopy. The reduction of the ferric complex of hydrophobic porphyrin adsorbed at the interface was found to be accompanied by a potential shift in the negative direction and to depend significantly on the nature of the anion and the ionic strength of the supporting electrolyte. Specifically adsorbed halogen anions inhibited the redox reaction in the sequence: Cl^?, Br^?, I^?. Depending on pH, the ferric complex of hydrophobic porphyrin exists in the uncharged (FeP-O-PFe) form or in the cation FeP⁺ form. The interaction between the ferric complex hydrophobic porphyrin and water has also been investigated.     

Determination of metal traces in tantalum by proton activation analysis

Procedures for determining traces of calcium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron, copper, niobium, molybdenum and tungsten in tantalum are described utilizing 11 MeV proton activation. The instrumental method of analysis with the use of a Ge(Li) detector and the radiochemical separation of the corresponding fractions are described. The formula for the calculation of the concentration of traces with the use of thick target yields is given. Experimental data on the thick target yields of radioisotopes⁴⁴Sc,⁵²Mn,⁵⁶Co,⁶⁵Zn,^93mMo,⁹⁶Tc are presented. Based on the experimental data, the detection limits are estimated at 1–10 ppb for the above mentioned metal traces in tantalum. The successful solution of the task of the simultaneous determination of nine elements in tantalum confirms the wide applicability of proton activation analysis.     

Investigation of short lived radicals in aromatic nucleophilic substitution by use of nitroso compounds as scavengers

Radical intermediates formed in reaction of substituted nitrobenzene compounds with nucleophilic reagents have been trapped by t-nitrosobutane to yield nitroxide radicals which have been characterized in situ by ESR. The formation of short-lived radicals originating from reagents and solvents has been shown.     

Transformations of substituted tetrahydro-8h-indeno[1,2-d]imidazoles in concentrated sulfuric acid

The five-membered ring of the indene system in 2,8-dioxo-3a-hydroxy-8a-R-1,2,3a,8a-tetrahydro-8H-indeno[1,2-d]imidazoles is hydrolytically cleaved in concentrated sulfuric acid solutions. Depending on the reaction conditions, compounds for which substituted 4-(o-carboxyphenyl)imidazol-2-one (II), 1,8-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-8H-imidazo[4,3-a]isoindole (III), and spiro[imidazolidine-4,3′-phthalide] structures were assumed were isolated.     

Polymethylene dyes derived from heterocyclic bases containing condensed thiophene rings

Some new polymethine dyes of the cyanine and merocyanine series which are derivatives of 5- and 6- thienopyridines are synthesized. Replacement of a vinyl group at a sulfur atom in the condensed benzene ring of quinoline in dyes which are derivatives of this base, always leads to a bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum of the corresponding dyes.     

Synthese und Konfiguration von Methylestern der diastereomeren (±)-3-Amino-2,3-diarylpropansäuren,der (±)-3-Amino-2,3-diarylpropanole und ihrer Derivate

Zusammenfassung Durch Umsetzung von Hydramiden mit am aromatischen Ring m,p-dialkoxysubstituierten Arylessigsäureestern in Gegenwart von wasserfr. AlCl₃ entstehen Gemische aus Estern der (±)-erythro- und (±)-threo-3-Amino-2,3-diarylpropansäuren. Bei der Umsetzung von Piperonalhydramid mit dem Methylester der Homoveratrumsäure konnte lediglich daserythro-Diastereomere isoliert werden.Die diastereomeren Ester wurden zu den jeweiligen (±)-erythro- und (±)-threo-3-Amino-2,3-diaryl-1-propanolen reduziert, die als N,O-Dibenzoylderivate charakterisiert wurden. Ihre relativen Konfigurationen und die der zugehörigen Ester wurden auf Grund der IR-Spektren der diastereomeren Aminopropanole bestimmt. Die NMR-Spektren eines Diastereomerenpaares von Aminopropanolen bestätigen die ihnen chemisch zugeordneten Konfigurationen und ermöglichen den Nachweis auch ihrer bevorzugten Konformationen.

Synthesis and configuration of methyl esters of the diastereomeric (±)-3-amino-2,3-diarylpropanoic acids, the (±)-3-amino-2,3-diaryl-1-propanols and their derivatives

Reaction of hydramides with m,p-dialkoxysubstituted arylacetates in the presence of anhydrous AlCl₃ generally leads to mixtures of the esters of the (±)-erythro- and (±)-threo-3-amino-2,3-diarylpropanoic acids. However, in the reaction of piperonal hydramide with methyl homoveratrate, only the correspondingerythro-diastereomer was obtained.Reduction of the diastereomeric esters gives the corresponding (±)-erythro- and (±)-threo-3-amino-2,3-diaryl-1-propanols, which can be characterized as N,O-dibenzoyl derivatives. Relative configurations of both alcohols and esters were determined by means of their IR spectra. Configurations were confirmed for one pair of diastereomeric amino alcohols by means of NMR spectra and preferred conformations deduced.
