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.     

Free energies of transfer of alkali halides from water to urea-water mixtures at 25°C from EMF measurements

The standard potentials_s E ^o of M/M⁺ (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) electrodes in aqueous urea solutions containing 12, 20, 30 and 37% by weight of urea have been determined at 25°C from emf measurements on the cell M(Hg)/MCl (m), solvent/AgCl–Ag, from the activities of metals in amalgams by use of a similar type of cell in water, and from the values of_s E ^o of the Ag/AgCl electrode determined earlier. The standard free energies of transfer of MCl, G _t ^o (MCl), from water to the mixed solvents, computed by use of these values and those for the Ag–AgCl electrode, rise sharply from Li⁺ to Na⁺ but fall from Na⁺ to K⁺ and rather sharply from K⁺ to Cs⁺ with a maximum at Na⁺ in all the solvent compositions. This has been attributed to the superimposition of soft-soft interactions on the electrostatic interactions between the ions and the negative charge centers of the possible hydrogen-bonded solvent complexes in the mixed solvents. Comparison of G _t ^o (i) values for individual ions, obtained by a simultaneous extrapolation procedure, with those in aqueous mixtures of methanol,t-butanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide leads to the conclusion that the solvation of these ions in all these solvents is chiefly dictated by the acid-base type of ion-solvent interactions.     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of bismuth peroxotitanate to Bi2Ti2O7

Bi-peroxotitanate was synthesized by a peroxo method and after thermal decomposition Bi₂Ti₂O₇ was obtained. DTA, TG and DSC curves of Bi₂[Ti₂(O₂)₄(OH)₆]5H₂O were recorded and used to determine isothermal conditions suitable for obtaining the intermediate samples corresponding to the phases observed during the thermal decomposition. The samples were identified by quantitative analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The experimental results were used to propose a mechanism of thermal decomposition of the investigated compound to a nanosized Bi₂Ti₂O₇. The optimum conditions were also determined for obtaining Bi₂Ti₂O₇, which is applicable for piezosensors.     

The crystal structures of two Mercury Perrhenates

The mercury perrhenates with the empirical formulas HgReO₄ and Hg₂ReO₅ were prepared by annealing powdered mixtures of mercury(II)oxide and mercury(II)metaperrhenate Hg(ReO₄)₂ in sealed silica tubes. Their crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray data. HgReO₄ crystallizes dimeric with nearly linear O₃Re? O? Hg? Hg? O? ReO₃ molecular units and Hg₂ReO₅ has a solid state structure, where Hg(I) and Hg(II) together with oxygen atoms form 14-membered rings, which are condensed to two-dimensionally infinite polycationic nets of composition (Hg₂²⁺ · 2 HgO)_n. These nets are separated from each other by tetrahedral ReO₄^? anions.     

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

2-[6-Alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno-[8,7-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids

The interaction has been studied of a series of substituted 3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromones with amino acids and formaldehyde (reactants ratio 1: 1: 2 respectively). In the case of glycine and Het = 3-isoxazolyl the product of aminomethylation at position 8 of the chromone was obtained, and with other Het (including Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) 2-[6-alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]-oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids were formed. With β-alanine and Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl the corresponding β-substituted propionic acid was synthesized, but proline did not participate in the reaction, leading to bis(6-ethyl-3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromon-8-yl)methane. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 683–689, May, 2007.     

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach

The vertical valence ionization potentials of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide and ethylene imine are calculated by a many-body Green's function method. For C₃H₆ the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2e(), 1e(), 2a₁(), 1a₂(), 1e(). The assignment of the 2a₁ and the 1a₂ ionization potentials which has been controversial is thus clarified. The ordering is in agreement with the result obtained via Koopmans' theorem. For ethylene oxide and ethylene imine Koopmans' theorem fails in predicting the correct order of ionic states. For C₂H₄O the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2b ₁(), 4a ₁, 1a ₂(), 2b ₂,3a ₁, 1b ₁(), 1b ₂, 2a ₁ and for C₂H₅N 6a, 5a, 3a, 2a, 4a, 3a, 1a, 2a. The agreement of the computed ionization potentials with the experimental values is very satisfactory.

Acid hydrolysis and acetylation of 6,8-dialkyl-3-thia-2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,0]octan-7-one 3,3-dioxides have been studied. 6,8-Dialkyl-3-thia-2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,0]octan-7-one 3,3-dioxides disproportionate to 4,4'-sulfonyldiiminobis(1,3-dialkylimidazolidin-2-ones) and sulfamide when treated with acid at pH 1 or with acetyl chloride. The kinetics of the disproportionation have been studied.

Chemical components from the aerial part of the Kazakhstan population of Artemisia pontica, from which the rarely encountered flavonoids 7-O-methyl- and 4′,7-di-O-methyl-esters of apigenin were isolated for the first time, were identified. The complete chemical composition of the essential oil was established using GC-MS.__________Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 143–145, March–April, 2005.
