Reactions of substituted furo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyrrole-5-carboxhydrazides and their biological activity

The reactions of substituted furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxhydrazides 1 with 5-arylfuran-2-carboxaldehydes 2, 4,5-disubstituted furan-2-carboxaldehydes 3 and thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde 4 has been studied. The advantage of microwave irradiation on some of these reactions was reflected in the reduced reaction time and increased yields. Reactions of 1 with 4-substituted 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones 11 led to diacylhydrazines 13 or to imidazole derivatives 14 depending on the temperature. 1,2,4-Triazole-3-thione 17 was synthesized by two-step reaction of 1 with phenylisothiocyanate and subsequent base-catalyzed cyclization of thiosemicarbazide 16. The effects of hydrazones 5–10 on inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport in spinach chloroplasts and chlorophyll content in the antialgal suspensions of Chlorella vulgaris were investigated.     

Nucleophilic de-coordination and electrophilic regeneration of "hemilabile" pincer-type complexes: formation of anionic dialkyl, diaryl, and dihydride Pt(II) complexes bearing no stabilizing pi-acceptors

Novel anionic dialkyl, diaryl, and dihydride platinum(II) complexes based on the new "long-arm" hemilabile PCN-type ligand C6H4[CH2P(tBu)2](CH2)2N(CH3)2 with the general formula Li+[Pt(PCN)(R)2]- (R=Me (4), Ph (6) and H (9)) were prepared by reaction of [Pt(PCN)(R)] complexes (obtained from the corresponding chlorides) with an equivalent of RLi, as a result of the opening of the chelate ring. Alkylating agents based on other metals produce less stable products. These anionic d8 complexes are thermally stable although they bear no stabilizing pi acceptors. They were characterized by 1H, 31P[1H], 13C, and 7Li NMR spectroscopy; complex 9 was also characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, showing that the Li+ ion is coordinated to the nitrogen atom of the open amine arm and to the hydride ligand (trans to the P atom) of a neighboring molecule (H--Li=2.15 A), resulting in a dimeric structure. Complexes 4 and 9 exhibit high nucleophilic reactivity, upon which the pincer complex is regenerated. Reaction of 4 with water, methyl iodide, and iodobenzene resulted in the neutral complex [Pt(PCN)(CH3)] (3) and methane, ethane, or toluene, respectively. Labeling studies indicate that the reaction proceeds by direct electrophilic attack on the metal center, rather than attack on the alkyl ligand. The anionic dihydride complex 9 reacted with water and methyl iodide to yield [Pt(PCN)(H)] (8) and H2 or methane, respectively.     

Kinetic resolution of heterocyclic amines by reaction with optically active acid chlorides. The effect of reaction conditions on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine

The influence of the reaction conditions (solvent, base) on the diastereoselectivity of acylation of (±)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine with (S)-naproxen and N-tosyl-(S)-proline chlorides was studied. The highest diastereoselectivity was observed for the reaction carried out in benzene in the presence of aliphatic tertiary amines.     

Preparation and Crystal Structure of Potassium Iron Hydrogen Phosphate,KFe3(HPO4)2(H2PO4)6 · 4 H2O

Single crystals of potassium iron hydrogen phosphate, KFe₃(HPO₄)₂(H₂PO₄)₆ · 4 H₂O, were prepared hydrothermally by heating a mixture of Fe₂O₃, H₃PO₄ and K₂CO₃ with a small amount of water. It crystallizes monoclinic, space group C2/c (N° 15 Int. Tab.) with Z = 4 and a = 1701(2), b = 960.4(5), c = 1750(1) pm, β = 90.88(7)°. The crystal structure was solved by using 1716 unique reflections F₀ > 4σ(F₀) with a final wR2 value of 0.126 (SHELXL-93). The main feature of the crystal structure are layers formed by PO₄-tetrahedra around the FeO₆-octahedra parallel to (001). K⁺ and H₂O molecules connect these layers. Effective Coordination Numbers (ECoN), Mean Fictive Ionic Radii (MEFIR), Charge Distribution (CHARDI) and the Madelung Part of Lattice Energy (MAPLE) are calculated for the title compound. The existence of hydrogen bonds is confirmed by these calculations.     

AlCl3-Catalyzed transformations of organo(trichloromethyl) silanes

Reactions of organo(trichloromcthyl)silanes RMc₂SiCCl₃ (R = Me, Ph, Mc₃Si) with aluminum chloride have been studied. The interaction of trimetltyl(tricltlorometltyl)silane with AlCl₃ carried out in cyclohexane or in benzene leads to Me₃SiCHCI₂ (in 75 % yield) or ClMe₂SiCPh₂Me (in 70 % yield), respectively; whereas no conversions are observed inn-hexane and methylene chloride. Treatment of dimetltyl(phenyl)(ricltloromethyl)silane with aluminum chloride in a_n-C₅H₁₂/CH₂CI₂ mixture gives an aromatic cross-linked insoluble polymer. The reaction of pentamethyl(trichloromcthyl)disilane (R = Mc₃Si) with AICl₃ in pentane affords the rearrangement product, Me₃SiCCl₂SiMc₂Cl, in 65 % yield. In methylene chloride the further cleavage of the disilane occurs to yield Me₂SiCl₂ and CH₂=CHMe₂SiCl.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Zur Kenntnis des Natrium-tetrahydroxoaluminat-chlorids Na2[Al(OH)4]Cl

On the Sodium Tetrahydroxoaluminate Chloride Na₂[Al(OH)₄]Cl The hitherto unknown compound Na₂[Al(OH)₄]Cl was prepared by crystallisation from a NaCl containing sodium aluminate solution. According to the X-ray single crystal investigation (tetragonal, space group P4/nmm, a = 7.541 Å, c = 5.059 Å, Z = 2) the compound represents the first example of a crystalline hydroxoaluminate with monomeric [Al(OH)₄]^? anions. Cl^? shows a quadratic anti prismatic coordination to 4 Na⁺ and over hydrogen bonds to 4 O^2? while Na⁺ is octahedrally coordinated by 4 O^2? and 2 Cl^? (axial). The results of the crystal structure analysis are confirmed by ²⁷Al and ²³Na MAS NMR investigations. Na₂[Al(OH)₄]Cl decomposes at about 200°C without intermediates under formation of β-NaAlO₂ and NaCl.     

Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Supported α-Fe2O3 and Fe Catalysts II: The Effect of the Second Metal Addition

The effect of the addition of a second metals such as Zn and Ni on the calcinaton and reduction of alumina, magnesia and silicasupported iron catalysis with total iron loading of 5wt% is investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is shown that the reducibility of supported α-Fe₂O₃ is gradually increased by adding the second metal. The values of the magnetic hyperfine field obtained from Mössbauer spectra for the Zn or Ni-added α-Fe₂O₃ or Fe catalysts decreased with increasing second metal loading.     

ESCA: Eine Methode zur Bestimmung von Elementen und ihren Bindungszust?nden in der Oberfl?che von Festk?rpern

Zusammenfassung ESCA (nach Siegbahn: Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) beruht auf dem Photoeffekt an inneren Atomorbitalen und ist auf alle Substanzen anwendbar. Die Routineuntersuchungen werden überwiegend an Festkörpern durchgeführt. Informationsträger sind Photo- und Augerelektronen, die verlustfrei von der Festkörperoberfläche emittiert werden. Auf Grund der Oberflächenempfindlichkeit gehört ESCA zu den mikrochemischen Verfahren. Die erfaßte Schichtdicke ist gegeben durch die Austrittstiefe der Photo- und Augerelektronen. Sie beträgt einige Monolagen, maximal 100 Å. Man kann davon ausgehen, daß bei einer untersuchten Fläche von 0,5 cm² und homogener Verteilung eines Elementes in den obersten 100 Å eine Konzentration von 1 % noch sicher nachgewiesen wird. Die Empfindlichkeitsunterschiede von Element zu Element liegen innerhalb eines Faktors 10. Matrixeffekte sind noch wesentlich geringer. Deshalb sind gute Voraussetzungen für eine quantitative Analyse gegeben. ESCA ist zwar nicht direkt ein Verfahren zur Spurenanalyse, wohl aber nach geeigneter Anreicherung. Der besondere Vorteil von ESCA liegt darin, daß man nicht nur Elemente nachweist, sondern an Hand von chemischen Verschiebungen, Linienaufspaltungen und Shake-up-Satelliten zuverlässige Aussagen über ihren Bindungszustand erhält. Weiterhin kann innerhalb des Bereiches der Austrittstiefe der Photoelektronen differenziert werden; dadurch ergeben sich Möglichkeiten zur zerstörungsfreien Aufnahme von Tiefenverteilungen von Elementen und Verbindungen. Zum Vordringen in tiefere Schichten kann ESCA mit abbauenden Verfahren gekoppelt werden. Nach Ionenbeschußabbau ist wegen ioneninduzierter Reaktionen in der Regel jedoch kein Verbindungsnachweis mehr möglich.

ESCA: A method for the determination of elements and their valence states in the surfaces of solids

Summary ESCA — or Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (the term used by its inventor, Siegbahn)-is based on the effects of X-rays on the inner orbitals of atoms and is applicable to all substances. Routine ESCA investigations are carried out chiefly on solids. The information is provided by photo- and Auger electrons, which are emitted from the surfaces of solids without energy losses. Because of its surface sensitivity ESCA may be regarded as a microchemical method. The comprehended layer thickness is given by the escape depths of the photo- and Auger electrons. The range is from a few monolayers to 100 Å. As a rule, an element that is distributed homogeneously in the uppermost 100 Å of an area of 0.5 cm² can still be detected reliably at a concentration of 1%. The differences in sensitivity from element to element are within a factor of ten. Matrix effects are considerably smaller still. ESCA is therefore well suited for quantitative analysis. Though not directly suitable for trace analysis, ESCA can be used for that purpose after appropriate enrichment techniques have been applied. The special advantage of ESCA is that, in addition to detecting elements, it provides reliable information on their valence states by means of chemical shifts, line splitting and shake-up satellites. Apart from this, ESCA permits in-depth discrimination within the range of the escape depths of the photo electrons; it therefore provides opportunities for the non-destructive recording of the depth distributions of elements and compounds. For investigation of lower layers, ESCA can be combined with methods which involve the removal of outer layers. After removal of layers by ion bombardment, however, ion-induced reactions generally prevent the detection of compounds.
