Synthesis and reactivity of thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine-2,3-diamines

It has been established that the interaction of N¹-(2-hydroxyphenylmethylthieno[2,3-b]pyrid-3-yl)arylamides with hydrazine hydrate leads to thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2,3-diamines. It was shown that the reaction of the latter with acetylacetone and acetoacetic ester occurs regioselectively at the amino group in position 3 of the thiophene ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1400–1408, September, 2007.     

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones 120. Synthesis and structure of ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate

An improved method for the preparation and purification of ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidine-3-carboxylates is proposed. According to ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data the synthesized compounds exist in DMSO solution in the 2-hydroxy-4-oxo form while in the crystal (at least for the case of the unsubstituted derivative) X-ray analysis shows that it occurs in the bipolar 2,4-dioxo form. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 864–876, June, 2007.     

Tautomerism of the Thioamide Group in 4-Methyl-7-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thione

When 4-methyl-7-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one were reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide, the corresponding benzodiazepine-2-thione and its thiol tautomer were formed, which via the 2-methylmercapto derivative were converted to 4-(2-acetylhydrazino)-2-methyl-8-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine.     

Functionalized naphthol[2,3-h] quinoline-7,12-diones

The addition of secondary and primary amines to ethyl (1-amino-9,10-anthraquinon-2-yl)propynoate affords an easily separable mixture of the corresponding ethyl 3-dialkylaminoor 3-alkylamino-3-(1-amino-9,10-anthraquinon-2-yl)acrylate and 3-dialkylamino- or 3-alkylaminonaphthol[2,3-h]quinoline-2(1H), 7,12-trione (in ∼4: 1 ratio). Intramolecular cyclization of the resulting substituted ethyl acrylates results in the formation of 4-dialkylaminoor 4-alkylamino-2-chlorinated pyridine rings. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom gives 2-functionalized 4-dialkylamino- or 4-alkylaminonaphtho[2,3-h]quinoline-7,12-diones. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Potential non-steroidal estrogens and antiestrogens,IV Organic azides in heterocyclic synthesis,part 13: Synthesis of aza- and diazacoumestrols via azido derivatives

Summary 4-Chloro-3-aryl-coumarins and quinolones2 a–e undergo thermolytic ring closure by reaction with sodium azide in refluxing dimethyl formamide to yield indolo[3,2-c]coumarins and indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones6 a–e. In the case of the coumarin2 a the azido coumarin5 can be isolated. The mono- and diazacoumestrol-dimethylethers6 a–c are converted into the coumestrol analogues7 a–c and their diacetyl derivatives8 a–c.

Mechanism of silicon film deposition in the RF plasma reduction of silicon tetrachloride

Plasma-chemical reduction of SiCl₄ in mixtures with H₂ and Ar has been studied by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and laser interferometry techniques. It has been found that the Ar:H₂ ratio strongly affects the plasma composition as well as the deposition (r _D) and etch (r _E) rates of Si: H, Cl films and that the electron impact dissociation is the most important channel for the production of SiCl_x species, which are the precursors of the film growth. Chemisorption of SiCl_x and the reactive surface reaction SiCl_x+H–SiCl_(x–1)0+HCl are important steps in the deposition process. The suggested deposition model givesr _D [SiCl_x][H], in agreement with the experimental data. Etching of Si: H, Cl films occurs at high Ar: H₂ ratio when Cl atoms in the gas phase become appreciable and increases with increasing Cl concentration. The etch rate is controlled by the Cl atom chemisorption step.     

LC Determination of 4-Bromoaniline in Green Algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii After Continuous-Flow Microextraction

In this study, the determination of 4-Bromoaniline (4-BA) in green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) was investigated by applying continuous-flow microextraction (CFME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Continuous-flow microextraction was conducted in a homemade glass chamber, i.e. the sample solution flowed through a constant volume drop of solvent in the chamber at a constant flow rate. The effects of different factors on extraction efficiencies were also investigated and these factors included the kind of extraction solvent, solvent drop volume, sample flow rate, extraction time and addition amount of salt. Under the optimum extraction conditions (extraction solvent, carbon tetrachloride; solvent drop volume, 3.5 μL; sample flow rate, 1.0 mL min⁻¹; extraction time, 10 min; no addition of salt), the calibration plot was set up by plotting peak area against a series of 4-Bromoaniline concentrations (0.01–10 μg mL⁻¹) in aqueous solution. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.9990. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.6 ng mL⁻¹. The precision of this method was obtained by successive five time analyses of 100-ng mL⁻¹ standard solution of 4-Bromoaniline, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.5%. The concentration factor was calculated by the ratio of peak area of the analyte obtained after and before extraction and found to be 10.6. 4-Bromoaniline residues in Chlamydomonas. reinhardtii cells and tap water samples were satisfactorily analyzed according to the method described above.     

STATISTICS OF A NOVEL CLASS OF LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMERS

A novel class of the liquid crystal polymers with mesogens laterally attached to flexible main chain backbones has been synthesized recently by us. While the flexible backbones tend to take configuration of maximum entropy the mesogenic side groups tend to orientate because of the anisotropie soft dispersion forces. A mean field theory is presented to describe the competition between these two trends which makes it possible for this class of polymers to show anisotropic (liquid crystal) phase within certain temperature range where the polymer main chains and the side chain mesogens will take approximately parallel arrangement, which is different from the normal side chain liquid crystal polymers. The temperature range of the liquid crystal phase, its ordering and phase transition all depend on the flexibility of the backbone, the strengthof the anisotropic forces of the side groups and the hinge elasticity. The results show that the liquid crystalisotropic phase transition is of the first order. The phase diagram, i. e. the dependence of the transition temperature on the structure of the polymers is also given.     

A study of the polarographic behaviour of meso-tetra(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)porphine and its copper and magnesium complexes and its analytical applications

The investigation of the electrochemical reduction and the adsorption of meso-tetra(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)porphine (T(4-TMAP)P) at a mercury electrode in alkaline solution shows that the overall reduction involves three two-electron steps, of which the first step is reversible and the latter two are irreversible. In addition, T(4-TMAP)P and its metal complexes of Cu(II) and Mg(II) can be strongly adsorbed on the surface of a mercury electrode. The adsorption phenomena have been utilized as a preconcentration step for the determination of trace amounts of the two ions by single sweep polarography. For copper, the detection limit is 1 × 10^–8 mol dm^–3, for magnesium, 1 × 10^–7 mol dm^–3, the latter being limited by the reagent blank. The proposed method was applied to the determination of Cu and Mg in various types of samples (chemicals, hair and liver tissues) with satisfactory results.
