Substitution of the Benzotriazolyl Group in N -(α-Amidoalkyl)benzotriazoles and N -(α-Sulfonamidoalkyl)benzotriazoles with Allylsamarium Bromide

Abstract

The nucleophilic substitution of the benzotriazolyl group in the N-(α-benzotriazol-1-ylalkyl)amides and N-(α-benzotriazol-1-ylalkyl) sulfonamides with allylsamarium bromide was investigated, and the corresponding homoallylamides or homoallylsulfonamides were obtained in good to excellent yields.     

Synthese de Nouveaux Derives Phosphones a Chaine Perfluoree et Leurs Proprietes Adhesives Sur Acier

Ce mémoire décrit la synthèse de phosphonates comportant une chaîne perfluorée. Ces composés sont obtenus par la télomérisation d'allylphosphonates de dialkyle en présence d'un agent de transfert fluoré de type mercaptan. Ensuite, nous employons deux méthodes de déalkylation menant sélectivement soit au monoacide soit au diacide phosphonique. Tous ces produits comprenant une extrémité de chaîne phosphonée, sous forme acide ou ester, ont été caractérisés et leur adhésion respective sur des plaques d'acier est étudiée. Ces tests montrent que le monoacide phosphonique est un excellent promoteur d'adhésion et qu'il est aussi efficace que le diacide. This article describes the synthesis of phosphonic derivatives bearing a perfluorinated chain. These compounds have been synthetized by telomerization of dialkyl allylphosphonate with a fluorinated transfer agent type mercaptan. Then two methods of dealkylation leading selectively were used to mono or to diacid phosphonic moieties. All the products bearing phosphonic end-groups, more or less acidic, have been characterized and their own adhesion on steel plates is studied. These tests show that phosphonic monoacid is an excellent adhesion promoter on steel, as efficient as the diacid compound.     

Synthesis of Tetrahydrobenzazepinesulfonamides and Their Rearrangement to Diarylsulfones

A new class of diarylsulfones, in which tetrahydrobenzazepine comprises one of the aromatic moieties, has been synthesized via the acid‐catalyzed rearrangement of several substituted benzazepinesulfonamides. The rearrangement is normally ortho but in at least one case a para isomer is also formed. Sulfones of this type have been shown to possess potent anti‐HIV activity.     

The synthesis and physical evaluation of 5-alkoxy-1,3-thiazoles prepared via Lawesson's reagent-mediated cyclisation of α-benzamido esters

The synthesis of the first series of 5-alkoxy-1,3-thiazole-based liquid crystals is reported. The aforementioned liquid crystals were synthesised through a Lawesson's reagent-mediated cyclisation of appropriate α-benzamido esters. This methodology was found to be highly efficient, even on a large scale, and the resulting 5-alkoxy-1,3-thiazoles could be purified without the use of column chromatography. The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of a family of 5-alkoxy-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-thiazole liquid crystals prepared via this approach are discussed and compared with their thiophene and phenyl analogues.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of Alkenyl Alcohols Using Dissolving Metal (Ca,Na) Reduction

Use of the calcium-ethylenediamine and sodium-liquid ammonia reduction systems for the ring opening of dihydropyran derivatives was studied. (Z)-Alkenyl alcohols and (E)-alkenyl alcohols were stereoselectively synthesized respectively.     

La(O-i-Pr)3 CATALYZED THREE-COMPONENT CONDENSATION REACTION: A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF N,N-DIALKYL-α-CYANOAMINES

ABSTRACT

In the presence of 10 mol% of La(O-i-Pr)₃, a three-component condensation reaction of aldehyde, secondary amine and trimethylsilylcyanide proceeded smoothly to afford N,N-dialkyl-α-cyanoamine in good yield.     

Two coordination polymers based on 2,2′-biimidazoles and d10 metal ions: syntheses,structures, and luminescence

Two d¹⁰ metal coordination polymers, [Zn(µ-Me₂biim)Cl₂] _n (1) and [Cd₃(MeHbiim)₂(1,4-BDC)₃] _n (2) (Me₂biim?=?N,N′-dimethyl-2,2′-biimidazole, MeHbiim?=?N-methyl-2,2′-biimidazole, 1,4-BDC?=?1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 features an infinite neutral zigzag 1-D chain. Interchain hydrogen-bonding interactions further extend the 1-D arrangement to generate a 2-D supramolecular architecture. Complex 2 features a 3-D coordination polymer with α-Po net topology, based on linear trinuclear {Cd₃O₁₄N₄} clusters. Both complexes have high thermal stability and exhibit strong luminescence at room temperature.
