Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene——A Novel Efficient Process for the Synthesis of Brominated Aromatic Compound

The reaction of aromatic carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride gives rise to the corresponding acid chloride which without purification is treated with the sodium salt of mercaptopyridine oxide in the presence of 2,2-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), radical initiator to give a brominated aromatic compound. After etherification and oxidation, 5-iodovaniline was converted to trisubstituted benzene carboxylic acid which give 1-bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene by this new brominating process with a yield of 74%.     

Effect of the Structure of the Acyl Group on the Kinetics of Exchange between O-Nucleophiles

We have studied the rate of 15 reactions of acyl transfer from O-acyl salts of 4-dimethylaminostyryl-4-pyridine N-oxide to 4-morpholinopyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine N-oxides in acetonitrile solutions. Analysis of the results based on the Shaik – Pross approach and the Marcus equation shows that if the structure of the acyl group is varied, then the reactivity is determined by such parameters as the resonance interaction in the transition state (B) or the internal barrier (G ₀) of the reaction.     

Artificial model for cystathionine β-synthase: efficient β-replacement reaction with thiols employing a novel pyridoxal model compound having an imidazole function

As a second-generation pyridoxal model compound for cystathionine β-synthase, we designed a novel model compound having an ionophore function and an imidazole function, application of which to the β-replacement reaction with various thiols smoothly took place to give S-substituted cysteines. Peptides having a serine-O-carbonate residue at the N-terminal position were also converted to the corresponding peptides having an S-substituted cysteine residue under the catalytic conditions of the novel pyridoxal model compound.     

Synthesis of novel dendrimers containing pyrimidine units

A novel convergent approach to dendritic macromolecules is described in which 4,6-dichloro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrimidine is used as the building block. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction at this AB₂-monomer was used as the key step in the propagation of the dendrons. Different core reagents were used to form the dendrimers, including a 5,15-bis(pyrimidyl)porphyrin core. Fourth-generation dendrons and third-generation dendrimers could be synthesized. The presented dendrimers are promising candidates to be used in applications where a more rigid structure and a larger resistance towards the applied conditions is required.

A new entry for the synthesis of 3-alkyl substituted 5-vinyloxazolidin-2-one derivatives 2 from cis-2-butenylene-1,4-dicarbonate 1 and primary amines mediated by palladium-phosphine catalysts is described. The scope and limitation, a plausible mechanism, and an asymmetric version of the reaction are also discussed.     

硫原子上亲核取代反应的密度泛函理论研究

在B3LYP/6-311 G(2df,p)的水平上,对反应X- CH3SCl(X=F,Cl,Br,I)进行了理论研究.计算结果表明:X-(X=Cl,Br,I)与CH3SCl作用时,实际发生的是在硫原子上而不是在碳原子上的亲核取代反应,而且属于加成-消去机理.但是F-与CH3SCl作用则容易发生脱质子反应.

New 3-aryl-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo][3,4-b][1,3]benzothiazole-6,7-dicarbonitriles have been synthesized by successive interaction of 5-aryl-4H-triazole-2-thiols with 4-bromo-5-nitrophthalonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃ initially at the bromine atoms and then at the nitro group.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, 270–272, February, 2005.     

Transition metal carbene chemistry 2: kinetic studies on the nucleophilic substitution reactions of (CO)5MC(SCH3)CH3 (M = Cr and W) with morpholine in aqueous acetonitrile

Kinetic studies of the aminolysis of [methyl(thiomethyl)carbene]pentacarbonyl chromium(0),(CO)₅CrC(CH₃)(SCH₃) (1-Cr(S)) and [methyl(thiomethyl)carbene]pentacarbonyltungsten(0), (CO)₅WC(CH₃)(SCH₃) (1-W(S)), with morpholine, a secondary amine, in 50% acetonitrile-50% H₂O (v/v at 25 °C) is reported. The second-order rate constant (k_A in m⁻¹ s⁻¹) increases with amine concentration, giving a linear dependence with an intercept on the rate axis and a tendency towards leveling off at higher amine concentration. The reaction was found to undergo general base catalysis. The mechanism proposed is very similar to those for ester reactions, involving a nucleophilic addition of amine to the substrate to yield a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate in the first step, followed by deprotonation to form in the second step, which, in the third step, converted to product by H₂O and/or conjugate acid of the base (BH⁺), assisted MeS⁻ expulsion. The reactivity (k₁) of 1-W(S) was found to be higher than that of 1-Cr(S), whereas, comparable , water catalyzed and , BH⁺ catalyzed, leaving group departure were found for both the carbenes complexes. All these observations have been explained successfully.     

Reactivity of N-alkyl derivatives of hydroxylamine in decomposition of 4-nitrophenyl diethylphosphonate in water and in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles

Neutral forms of hydroxylamine, N-methylhydroxylamine, and N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine are typical α-nucleophiles in water. In comparison with aryl anions of similar basicity their rate of reaction in the decomposition of 4-nitrophenyl diethylphosphonate is increased by about 10² times. Decomposition of the substrate is accelerated in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles (about 4 to 30 fold). Hydroxylamine and its N-alkyl derivatives are the most effective low basicity nucleophiles. The sole factor responsible for the micellar effects is the concentration of the reagent in the surfactant micelles. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 231–236, July–August, 2007.     

杂原子Y分子筛的二次合成及其吸附脱硫性能

采用液-固相同晶取代反应制备了骨架含Ga的Y型分子筛, 并对其吸附脱硫性能进行了研究. 在室温, 空速为7 h−1的条件下, 镓化Y型分子筛([Ga]AlY)处理噻吩、四氢噻吩、4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩(4,6-DMDBT)正壬烷溶液(硫含量500 μg•g−1), 每克吸附剂吸附硫的量分别为7.7、17.4、14.5 mg. 采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的广义梯度近似方法(GGA)计算各分子中硫原子上的电荷数, 噻吩中硫原子的电荷数为−0.159, 而4,6-DMDBT和四氢噻吩分别为−0.214、0.298. 四氢噻吩和4, 6-DMDBT中硫原子上的电子密度大于噻吩中硫原子上的电子密度, 这就使得四氢噻吩和4,6-DMDBT中的硫原子与吸附位间的作用会远大于噻吩中的硫原子与吸附位间的作用, 吸附容量必然会大很多. 采用[Ga]AlY处理抚顺石油二厂的催化裂化汽油(硫含量：299 μg•g−1), 每克吸附剂处理2.1 mL汽油时, 处理后汽油的硫含量为54.8 μg•g−1, 说明[Ga]AlY对汽油脱硫有一定的效果.
