Complexation of an acrylic resin by tertiary amines: synthesis and characterisation of new binders for antifouling paints

Antifouling coatings are the most reliable way to prevent biofouling of immersed surfaces. As concerning the high toxicity of organotin paints, the tendency is the development of coatings, which do not present environmental risks. In this work, we prepare binders from modification of acrylic copolymers containing free carboxylic acid groups. Biocides chosen are tertiary ammonium salts; alkyl chain substituents with different length are considered. The chemical modifications of resins are carried out via a single step reaction. Modification extents are monitored through proton nuclear magnetic resonance and thermogravimetric analysis and the modified resins are characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature of the acrylate systems is assessed by dynamical mechanical analysis (pin point method) and compared with data obtained by differential scanning calorimetry. The erosion and antifouling properties of the binders are followed during an exposure to marine environment by a visual observation.     

Oxidative entry to α-oxy N-acyl aminals and hemiaminals: efficient formation of 2-(N-acylaminal) substituted tetrahydropyrans

An efficient new method to synthesize α-oxy N-acyl aminals and hemiaminals in a single step from readily synthesized N-acyl enamines has been developed using PhI(OAc)₂ as the oxidant. The reaction conditions are very mild and the products are obtained in good yields (65-92%). A possible mechanistic pathway is laid out.     

On the role of localized molecular orbitals in the formation of bond dipoles

The hypothesis of the classical chemistry about bond dipoles resulting from shifts of separate pairs of electrons is proved using the non-canonical method of molecular orbitals (MOs). To this end, a relation is sought between the total charge distribution inside an individual chemical bond of a polyatomic molecule and the square of the respective single localized MO (LMO). General expressions for these MOs are obtained directly on the basis of the Brillouin theorem without invoking additional localization criteria. The two characteristics under comparison are presented in an explicit algebraic form in terms of meaningful components. Reshaping of square of the ‘own’ LMO of the given bond is shown to play the decisive role in the formation of secondary dipoles of initially homopolar bonds (e.g. of C–C and C–H bonds in substituted alkanes), as well as of bonds of relatively low initial polarity. Thus, representability of these dipoles by shifts of the ‘own’ pairs of electrons of respective bonds is supported. For bonds of a high initial polarity, the secondary dipoles are shown to originate mainly from contributions of LMOs of other bonds extending over the antibonding basis orbital of the given bond. Moreover, the actual secondary bond dipole takes an opposite direction vs. that predicted by the shift of the respective ‘own’ pair of electrons in this case. The latter result serves to account for the known low nucleofugality of highly electronegative heteroatoms in the S_N2 reactions.     

Facile polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) promoted synthesis of β-ketosulfones

An efficient and convenient synthesis of β-ketosulfones is described. Reaction of an α-haloketone with sodium alkyl/aryl sulphinate yields the corresponding β-ketosulfone promoted by polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as an efficient reaction medium.     

A simple and regioselective α-bromination of alkyl aromatic compounds by two-phase electrolysis

Electrochemical bromination of toluene and substituted toluenes by two-phase electrolysis yields the corresponding α-brominated products. The reaction has been carried out in a single compartment cell with platinum electrodes at 0 °C in chloroform using an aqueous sodium bromide solution (60%) containing a catalytic amount of HBr. Two-phase electrolysis results in high yields (60-95%) of monobromo compounds with very high regioselectivity (>95%).     

Facile synthesis of substituted dihydro-1,4-dithiins and -1,4-dithiepins from α-oxo ketene cyclic dithioacetals

A novel and facile synthesis of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-dithiins and 6,7-dihydro-5H-1,4-dithiepins based on the reactions of α-bromo/hydroxy ketones with α-oxo ketene cyclic dithioacetals has been developed. A general mechanism for the reactions is proposed.     

Easy α- to β-migration of an enol moiety on a pyrrole ring

Functionalized pyrrolic enols, 2-(2,2-dicyano-1-hydroxyethenyl)-1-methylpyrroles, synthesized from 2-ethenylpyrroles by a nucleophilic SEt-OH exchange, upon heating (75-142 °C) are readily rearranged to their 3-isomers in near to quantitative yield. The inter or intramolecular auto-protonation of a pyrrole ring by the acidic enol hydroxyl to form a mesomeric pyrrolium cation or zwitterion is suggested to be a key step in the rearrangement.     

A practical approach to the fused β-carboline system. Asymmetric synthesis of indolo[2,3-a]indolizidinones via a diastereoselective intramolecular α-amidoalkylation reaction

Fused β-carboline systems, as indolo[2,3-a]indolizidinones, indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidinones, their 2-oxa analogues, and benzo[a]indolo[2,3-a]indolizidinones are prepared efficiently via an RLi addition-N-acyliminium ion cyclisation sequence on readily available imides. In an enantioselective variant of these α-amidoalkylation reactions, the addition of MeLi to a chiral non-racemic imide derived from tryptophan yielded an oxo amide, which was cyclised diastereoselectively upon treatment with BF₃·OEt₂, to afford 5,11b-trans-indoloindolizidinone in moderate yield and high ee (99%).

Compounds 5 were then deprotected by hydrogenolysis to furnish difluorinated pseudopeptides 6.
