Conversion of 3-benzoyl-1-methyl-4-phenyl-γ-piperidol by arylamines and arylhydrazines. Synthesis of 3-arylamino-1-oxo-1-phenylpropanes and 1,3-diarylpyrazoles and their fragmentation under electron impact

It has been established that on heating, 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine is ring-opened in the presence of arylamines by a type of retroaldol reaction, with subsequent transamination of the intermediate Mannich base and the formation of 3-arylamino-1-oxo-1-phenylpropanes. When using arylhydrazines this γ-piperidol is recyclized with the formation of 1,3-diarylpyrazoles and their 4,5-dihydro derivatives. The mass spectral behavior of a series of 3-arylamino-substituted 1-phenylpropanones has been studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1486–1495, October, 2007.

IR Study of p–π Conjugation in 2-Substituted 4-Methylene-1,3-dioxolanes and 4-Methyl-1,3-dioxoles

Selected group frequencies of the IR spectra of a number of 2-substituted 4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes (a) and their endocyclic isomers, 2-substituted 4-methyl-1,3-dioxoles (b), have been studied to establish their usefulness as a measure of the strength of p– conjugation in the O—C=C moieties of the title compounds. In the exo compounds (a), the C=C stretching frequencies C=C and the in-phase, out-of-plane bending (wagging) frequencies CH₂ w of the =CH₂ group were found to be linearly related, besides to each other, also to the electron-donating character of the substituents and the ¹³C NMR chemical shift of the C atom of the exocyclic CH₂ group. This suggests that the two IR group frequencies of the exo isomers are linearly related to the strength of p– conjugation in the O—C=C moiety. The C=C stretching absorption of the exo compounds in the 1600–1700 cm^–1 region appeared as a doublet, shown to arise from Fermi resonance of the C=C fundamental with the CH₂ w overtone. The C=C frequencies of the endo compounds support some previous findings of an unexpected strength of p– conjugation in the 2-alkoxy derivatives. Finally, DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory are shown to give accurate predictions of the effect of 2-substituents on the group frequencies.     

Synthesis and properties of novel poly(amide-imide)s containing pendent diphenylamino groups

A new dicarboxylic acid, 2,4-bis(N-trimellitoyl)triphenylamine, bearing two preformed imide rings was synthesized from the condensation of 2,4-diaminotriphenylamine and trimellitic anhydride at 1:2 molar ratio. A series of poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) with inherent viscosities of 0.38-0.66 dl/g were prepared by triphenyl phosphite-activated polycondensation from the diimide-dicarboxylic acid with various aromatic diamines. All the resulting PAIs were readily soluble in a variety of organic solvents and formed strong and tough films via solution casting. These PAIs have useful levels of thermal stability associated with moderately high glass-transition temperatures (259-314 °C) and 10% weight loss temperatures in excess of 530 °C in nitrogen or in air.     

Synthesis of some sulfur-containing pyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidines

4-Methylthiopyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidin-2-one and 2-hydroxypyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidine-4-thione derivatives were synthesized by the addition ofN-(4-R-pyrid-2-yl)acetoacetamides (R = H, Me) to CS₂ under phase-transfer conditions followed by the alkylation of the reaction products with Mel. The molecular structure of 3-acetyl-4-methylthiopyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidin-2-one is established by X-ray analysis.     

Beta-delayed two-proton decay of39Ti

The beta-delayed two-proton decay of theT _z =–5/2 nuclide³⁹Ti has been observed. The³⁹Sc isobaric analog state has been calculated to lie at 8.82 MeV using the measured two-proton sum energy of 4750±40 keV for its decay to the³⁷K ground state. Combining this excitation energy with a Coulomb displacement energy calculation has lowered the energy available for ground state two-proton emission of³⁹Ti from 760 to 530 keV.This work was supported by Director, Office of Energy Research, Division of Nuclear Physics of the Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics of the U.S. Depeartment of Energy under Contracts DE-AC03-76SF00098 with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, DE-AC02-76CH00016 with Brookhaven National Laboratory and DE-AC06-76RL0 1830 with Pacific Northwest Laboratories.     

An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Acyl-diazenes Using NaNO_2/NaHSO_4·H_2O

Azo compounds are widely utilized as analytic reagents and dyes1, they can also be used in material of non-linear optics, material of optics information storing in laser disks, and dyes with oil solubility in photochromy in modern technology2. Recently, many noteworthy studies have shown that some azo compounds possess excellent optical memory and photoelectric properties3,4. For example, polymer scaffolds bearing azobenzene-potential are useful for optical information storage, azo-dye doped…
