Ionic liquids as reagents and solvents in conjunction with microwave heating: rapid synthesis of alkyl halides from alcohols and nitriles from aryl halides

We show that using ionic liquids as reagents in conjunction with microwave heating it is possible to prepare primary alkyl halides from the corresponding alcohols rapidly. Using ionic liquids as solvents in conjunction with microwave heating it is possible to prepare aryl nitriles from the corresponding aryl bromides or iodides. The scope and limitations of using microwave-promotion as a tool in these reactions is discussed.     

A facile synthesis of per (poly )fluoroalkyl substituted α-amino acid derivatives

Initiated by CrCl3/Fe redox couple, per(poly)fluoroalkyl iodides added to methyl a-acetylamino acrylate, giving B-per(poly)fluoroalkyl a-amino acid derivatives in good yields.     

Synthesis of novel derivatives of 2-(azolylimino)thiazoline

Successive alkylation of 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxamides with alkyl halides and chloroacetone gave (N-oxopropylimidazolyl)isothioureas, which were easily converted into derivatives of purine and imidazopyrazinone. In the case of ethyl 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, primary alkylation occurs at the N atom of the imidazole ring. Reactions of 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxamides with haloketones afforded a number of 4-hydroxy-2-imidazolyliminothiazolidines and 2-imidazolylimino-Δ⁴-thiazolines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Conductances of some electrolytes in 2-methylpyridine-N-oxide at 55°C

Conductance measurements for fifteen uni-univalent salts in 2-methylpyridine-N-oxide (2-MPO) were made over the concentration range of 2–120×10^–4 mol-dm^–3 at 55°C. All conductance data were evaluated by the Lee-Wheaton equation. The results indicate that all of the salts studied are slightly associated in 2-MPO, which is, nevertheless, a reasonably good ionizing solvent compared to other solvents having a similar value for the dielectric constant. The tetraalkylammonium halides are weaker electrolytes than the tetraphenylborate salts in 2-MPO. Ionic limiting molar conductances were obtained by using as a reference electrolyte tris(iso-pentyl)butylammonium tetraphenylborate. Anions appear to be poorly solvated in this solvent but certain cations, particularly Na⁺ and K⁺, show evidence of specific ion-solvent interaction.This study was presented, in part, at the 6th Central Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Detroit, Michigan, April 1974.     

Intermediates in the transformation of 1,2-dialkylpyrimidinium iodides in the Kost-Sagitullin rearrangement

Intermediate recyclization products were obtained in a study of the Kost-Sagitullin rearrangement of a series of 1,2-dialkylpyrimidinium iodides. The initial attack of the nucleophile leads to the formation of products of the addition of the hydroxyl group, namely, the corresponding pseudo bases. Heating one of these intermediates in ethanol or in the presence of primary amines leads to rearrangement to give a pyridone derivative. Upon heating in chloroform, the pseudo bases readily lose a water molecule and are converted to anhydro bases, namely, derivatives of 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-methylidenepyrimidine. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 894–900, May, 2006.     

气相色谱法测定阳离子表面活性剂合成体系中脂肪烷基二甲基叔胺

选用HP-NINOWax毛细管色谱柱及氢火焰离子化检测器（FID），采用程序升温，建立了4种脂肪烷基二甲基叔胺的分析方法。结果表明，4种脂肪烷基二甲基叔胺质量浓度在0.005~1.0 g/L范围内，其峰面积与质量浓度有良好的线性关系，相关系数（R²）在0.9996以上。检出限（LODs，信噪比为3）在0.001~0.002 g/L之间，定量限（LOQs，信噪比为10）在0.003~0.005 g/L之间，回收率在90%~130%之间，相对标准偏差为1.3%~6.9%（n=6）。方法的线性范围宽、回收率高、选择性好，可用于叔胺的产品质量分析及生产过程控制分析。利用该方法对阳离子表面活性剂合成反应中十六烷基二甲基叔胺进行监测，结果很好地符合双分子亲核取代反应。该方法比滴定分析法更快速、精确，与液相色谱法相比，不需要进行柱前衍生或者使用色谱-质谱联用仪器。     

Capillary gas chromatography of C1−C4 alkyl tert-butyl ethers

Summary The separation of C₁–C₄ alkyl tert-butyl ethers with the general formula (CH₃)₃C–O–R (R-alkyl substituent) on fused-silica capillary columns coated with dimethylsilicone and cyanopropylmethylsilicone stationary phases was investigated. Retention indices were determined at two temperatures in order to understand their chromatographic behaviour. The respective standard deviations were 0.3 and 0.5 i.u.     

NMR spectroscopy of organophosphorus compounds II: Stereochemistry of [1-(2H-azirin-2-yl)alkyl]phosphonates

Summary The conformation and relative configuration of [1-(2H-azirin-2-yl)alkyl]phosphonates (2) has been established by thorough investigation of some characteristic representatives of the series by¹H,¹³C,¹⁵N, and³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that the chemical shift of the proton located to the phosphonate group can be used as a criterion for the discrimination and stereochemical assignment of diastereoisomers. NMR spectroscopic features of the compounds are discussed in terms of structural relationships.Dedicated to Univ.-Prof. Dr.K. Schlögl with the best wishes to his 70^th birthday     

Electrochemical synthesis of 1,2,3,4,4,5,6-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines

It has been shown that chemical oxidation of the methyl ester of 3,4,5-trimethoxycarbonyl-1,2,6-trimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine to the pyridinium salt, requiring forcing experimental conditions, may be replaced by electrochemical oxidation. On electrochemical reduction of 3,4,5-trimethoxycarbonyl-1,2,6-trimethylpyridinium perchlorate in the presence of alkylating agents 1,2,3,4,4,5,6-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines are obtained. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 226–237, February, 2007.
