Chromatographic study of the thermodynamics of solutions of hydrocarbons in liquid crystal solvents. Evidence for order disturbance by the solutes

Gas-chromatographic experiments were carried out in various phases of the solvents 4-acetoxy-N-[4-methoxy-benzylidene]-aniline, dibutoxyazoxybenzene, lithium stearate, dihexoxyazoxybenzene, and diheptoxyazoxybenzene. The solutes were linear, branched and cyclic alkanes, and substituted benzenes. Excess enthalpies, entropies, and free entropies were calculated from net retention volumes. In the nematic liquid crystalline phases the effect of order disturbance was significant in and but it was, by enthalpy-entropy compensation, not demonstrable in . Differences in flexibility and degree of expansion of the solutes did not result in significantly different values of the excess quantities.     

Synthesis and properties of a poly(diphenylacetylene) containing carbazolyl groups

1-(p-N-Carbazolylphenyl)-2-phenylacetylene (p-CzDPA) was polymerized by TaCl₅–co-catalyst systems (cocatalysts: n-Bu₁Sn, Et₃SiH, and 9BBN) to produce acetone-insoluble polymers in about 60-70% yields. Poly(p-CzDPA) was a yellowish-orange solid, most part of which was soluble in toluene, chloroform, etc., and its weight-average molecular weights were around 4×10⁵. This polymer formed a tough film by solution casting, and was thermally very stable (the onset temperature of weight loss in TGA in air 470°C). The oxygen per-meability coefficient of the polymer at 25°C was lower than two barrers. The present polymer showed photoconductivity and redox activity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Quantum-Chemical Investigation of Intermediates in the Addition of Phenylsulfenium Cation to Substituted Acetylenes

The reaction paths for the transformations of substituted acetylenes (X—CC—Y; X, Y = H, Me, Ph, CN) in reaction with phenylsulfenium cation were studied by quantum-chemical methods. It was shown that the reactions take place with the formation of acyclic and cyclic cationic intermediates. The factor that determines the structure and characteristics of these cations is the induction and polarizing action of the substituents in the acetylenes and to a lesser degree their electron-donor characteristics. The resonance effect of the phenyl substituent has a predominantly levelling action on the distribution of charges.     

Synthesis and Transformation of Methyl 2‐(6‐Hydroxy‐2‐phenylpyrimidin‐4‐yl)acetate: Simple Preparation of Pyrimidines with Heterocyclic Substituents

A simple and efficient synthesis of four new substituted pyrimidines, compounds 9a – d , from the title compound 3 is described. Conversion of 3 to methyl (E)‐3‐(dimethylamino)‐2‐(6‐methoxy‐2‐phenylpyrimidin‐4‐yl)prop‐2‐enoate ( 4 ), followed by condensation with various dinucleophiles according to the ‘enaminone methodology’, afforded the target compounds 9 in medium‐to‐good yields.     

Interactions between terminally substituted amino acids in an aqueous and a non-aqueous environment. Enthalpic interaction coefficients in water and in N,N-dimethylformamide at 25°C

Enthalpies of dilution of the N-acetyl amides of glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, and L-phenylalanine, dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent have been measured at 25°C. The results obtained have been analyzed to give the enthalpic interaction (or virial) coefficients of the solutes and these are compared with information previously obtained in aqueous systems. There are marked differences in the interaction properties in the two solvents and, while the additivity approach of Savage and Wood is applicable to the solutes in water it is not suitable for representing the interactions in DMF. A correlation is presented between the enthalpic second virial coefficients in DMF and the propensity of side-chains to be in proximity in globular proteins.     

Darstellung und Strukturen einiger N-(Tri-t-butoxysilyl)anilin-Derivate

Formation and Structures of N-(tri-t-butoxysilyl)aniline Compounds Para-substituted N-(tri-t-butoxysilyl)anilines (t-BuO)₃SiNRC₄H₄X-p, R = H, CH₃, with substituents of high electron affinity (X = CN, NO₂) were prepared by a one-pot reaction of tri-t-butoxychlorsilane, potassium t-butanolate and substituted anilines. Corresponding compounds with substituents of low electron affinity (X = OMe, H) preferably were prepared by metalation of anilines with sodium amide. Four crystal structures were determined. N-(tri-t-butoxysilyl)-p-nitro-aniline, N-methyl-(N-tri-t-butoxysilyl)-p-nitroaniline and N-(tri-t-butoxysilyl)-p-cyanoaniline crystallize at 298 K monoclinically, N-(tri-t-butoxysilyl)aniline crystallizes orthorhombically.     

希土取代苯基化合物的合成

1970年Hart等利用苯基锂的乙醚溶液与希土氯化物的四氢呋喃悬浮液反应,首次合成了希土苯基化合物(C_6H_5)_3Ln(Ln=Sc、Y),LiLn(C_6H_5)_4(Ln=La、Pr),但没有得到满意的碳氢分析数据,碳的实测值仅为计算值的三分之二左右。其他希土苯基化合物的合成也有报道。为了进一步探索希土芳基化合物的合成方法,希土和芳基之间成键的可能性,我们使用邻甲氧基苯基锂和对甲基苯基锂与希土氯化物反应,试图合成新的希土取代苯基化合物。     

Polystyrene-supported Benzyl Selenide: An Efficient Reagent for Highly Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Substituted Olefins

Solid-phase methodology has been rapidly and extensively applied to the preparation of small organic molecules recently1. It might be argued that selenoxide syn-elimination provided the principal impetus for the development of organoselenium chemistry. In addition, the required selenoxides are readily available from the oxidation of the corresponding selenides, which in turn can be prepared by the reaction of selenium-stabilized carbanions with various electrophilic substrates2. However, or…     

Ester derivatives of α-hydroxymethylacrylates: Itaconate isomers giving high molecular weight polymers

New ester derivatives of ethyl α-hydroxymethylacrylate were synthesized using acid chlorides (traditional solution reactions), sodium salts of acids (with phase transfer catalysis), and trifluoroacetic anhydride (trifluoroacetate). The interfacial process gave high yields of clean products under very mild conditions. Derivatives obtained include the formate, acetate, hexanoate, stearate, benzoate, trifluoroacetate, and adamantanoate. Bulk polymerizations with 2,2′-azobis (isobutyronitrile) gave high molecular weight polymers with intrinsic viscosities of over 2 dL/g and molecular weights of several million [based on size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) comparison to polystyrene standards]. These high molecular weights were the result of autoacceleration in the bulk as shown by monitoring molecular weight with respect to conversion. Solution polymerization in benzene gave more typical polymer, e.g., the acetate derivative showed an SEC molecular weight of 52,000. Glass transition temperatures for the n-alkyl esters decreased from the formate (77°C) to the hexanoate (15°C); the stearate showed a side-chain melting point of 40°C but no T_g. Glass transitions were observed for the trifluoroacetate, benzoate, and adamantanoate polymers at 69, 130, and 214°C, respectively. Solution ¹³C-NMR showed evidence of tacticity information for the formate and acetate derivatives with appaent preference for syndiotactic polymer formation similar to that of methyl methacrylate. FTIR and solid-state ¹³C-NMR analysis gave spectra with functional group peaks and chemical shift values expected based on composition. The stearate monomer and polymer gave solid-state ¹³C chemical shifts of 34 and 33 ppm, respectively, for the central CH₂ units consistent with monoclinic and orthorhombic crystal packing. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of 4-Substituted 3-Cyano-6,6-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones

The respective 4-(arylvinyl)lactones and compounds of the Michael adduct type were synthesized by the condensation of substituted benzaldehydes with 3-cyano-4,6,6-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranone in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium hydroxide. It was shown by the semiempirical AM1 method that the indicated products can be formed through one and the same intermediate compound. Some of the synthesized phenylvinyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones have a cytotoxic effect, and this corresponds to the prognosis of the OREX expert system.
