Interaction of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-α]pyrimidine with methylene-active compounds and acid hydrolysis of its products

Reactions of 2-bromo-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine with sodium derivatives of pentane-2,4-dione, malonodinitrile, Meldrum acid, acetoacetic, cyanoacetic and malonic esters have been shown to give the respective substituted derivatives. Azinyl-ylidene tautomerism has been found to be characteristic of these compounds, the latter existing mainly in the ylidene form. The acid hydrolysis of pentane-2, 5-dione and cyanoacetic and malonic esters derivatives has been investigated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Strukturen aus AIB2− und BaAl4−analogen Einheiten. I Die Verbindungen Sr4Pd5P5 und Sr2Pd3P3

Structures with AIB₂? and BaAl₄?type Units. I The Compounds Sr₄Pd₅P₅ and Sr₂Pd₃P₃ Sr₄Pd₅P₅ (Cmcm, a = 4.177(1) Å, b = 31.377(5) Å, c = 8.581(2) Å, Z = 4) und Sr₂ Pd₃P₃(Pmmm, a = 4.199(1) Å, b = 4.212(1) Å, c = 34.227(4) Å, Z = 4) have been prepared by heating the elements. Both structures contain exclusively units characteristic for the AIB_2? and BaAl₄?type. The ratio between isolated P-atoms and P₂?pairs is interpreted with an ionic splitting of the formulas.     

Molecular Dipole Moment and Interaction Dipole Moment in 2-N-Substituted Amino-3(or 5)-methyl-4-nitropyridines and Their N-Oxides

The dipole moments of 2-alkylaminoand 2-alkylnitramino-3(or 5)-methyl-4-nitropyridines and their N-oxides have been measured, as well as calculated, using vectorial summation of the group moments and by ab initio method. The estimated interaction dipole moments, _int, have been discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Introduction of the NHCH₃ group to position 2 in 4-nitropyridine strengthens the conjugation between the nitro group and ring nitrogen. The lack of such strengthening in 4-nitropyridine-N-oxides is explained as being due to formation of intramolecular hydrogen bond between the N-oxide group and the hydrogen of alkylamino group. Introduction of the nitramino group does not lead to marked modification of the charge distribution in a molecule. This fact may be explained by much weaker electron-donating ability of this group in comparison with the alkylamino group.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of cyclic α-methoxynitrones, derivatives of 2H-imidazole 1-oxide and 4H-imidazole 3-oxide

The reactions of cyclic aldo- and -methoxynitrones of the 2H-imidazole-1-oxide and 4H-imidazole 3-oxide series with isocyanates, phenyl isothiocyanate, N-phenylmaleimide, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate were studied. The reactions give the corresponding 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products. 2,2-Dimethyl-4-phenyl-2H-imidazole 1-oxide does not enter into a similar reaction with isocyanates or phenyl isothiocyanate.     

Quantum chemical studies on electrophilic addition

The geometries of the 2-chloroethyl and ethylenechloronium cations, two possible intermediates in the electrophilic addition of chlorine to ethylene, have been fully optimized using ab initio molecular orbital calculations employing the split valence shell 4-31G basis set.These geometries were then used to compute more accurate wave functions using Dunning's double-zeta basis set. The bridged chloronium ion was found to be more stable by 9.35 kcal/mole, the opposite order of stability from the C₂H₄F⁺ ions. Interconversion of the two C₂H₄Cl⁺ cations was computed to have a barrier of 6.25 kcal/mole.The activation energy for this chlorination reaction, using the ethylenechloronium cation and a chlorine anion at infinite separation as the model for the activated complex, was computed to be 128.7 kcal/mole, showing that this is not a feasible gas phase reaction.     

Acylation of Amines with 5-Phenyltetrazol-2-ylacetyl Chloride

The acylation of primary and secondary amines by 5-phenyltetrazol-2-ylacetyl chloride leads to the corresponding tetrazolylacetamides irrespective of the nature of the substituent in the structure of the amine.     

Synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of polydithiocarbamate resin supported on macroreticular styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer for the removal of trace and heavy metal ions

A new chelating resin was synthesised by the modification of styrene-divinylbenzene (2%) copolymer and incorporation of dithiocarbamate groups. The polydithiocarbamate resin was characterised by elemental analysis, thermal studies and IR studies. The analytical characteristics of the sorbent were established and optimum sorption conditions for Cu, Ni, Pb, Fe, As and Mn determined. The total sorption capacity of the resin was 37 mg g⁻¹ for Ni(II), 35 mg g⁻¹ for Cu(II), 29 mg g⁻¹ for Fe(III) and 23 mg g⁻¹ for Pb(II). The optimum pH for the removal of metal ions was 3-5 for Ni(II), 5 for Cu(II), 4 for Fe(III) and 4-5 for Pb(II). High sorption capacity was observed when compared with other conventional chelating polymers. The sorption kinetics was fairly rapid, as apparent from the loading half time t_1/2 values, indicating a better accessibility of the chelating sites.     

Phase relations in NaxCrxTi8−xO16 at 1350 °C and crystal structure of hollandite-like Na2Cr2Ti6O16

Phase relations of rutile, freudenbergite, and hollandite structures were examined in the pseudobinary system NaCrO₂-TiO₂ (i.e., Na_xCr_xTi_8−xO₁₆) at 1350 °C. The hollandite structure was obtained in the composition range 1.7?x?2.0. The symmetry of the samples at room temperature was tetragonal for x=1.7 and 1.75, and monoclinic for x=1.8 and above. Single crystals of monoclinic hollandite Na₂Cr₂Ti₆O₁₆ were grown and the structure refinement has been carried out using an X-ray diffraction technique. The space group was I2/m and cell parameters were a=10.2385(11), b=2.9559(9), c=9.9097(11)Å, and β=90.545(9)° with Z=1. The Na ion distribution in the tunnel was markedly deformed from that in the tetragonal form. It was suggested that Cr/Ti ratios were different between the two framework metal sites.     

MP2 study of substituent effects of 2-substituted alkyl ethyl methylcarbamates in homogeneous, unimolecular gas phase elimination reaction

Møller-Plesset MP2/6-31G method was used to examine the gas-phase elimination of 2-substituted alkyl ethyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates. The results of these calculations support a concerted non-synchronous six-membered cyclic transition state mechanism for carbamates containing a C_β–H bond at the alkyl side of the ester. These substrates produce the N,N-dimethylcarbamic acid and the corresponding olefin. The unstable intermediate, N,N-dimethylcarbamic acid, rapidly decomposes through a four-membered cyclic transition state to dimethylamine and CO₂ gas. Correlation of the logarithm of theoretical rate coefficients against original Taft's σ* values gave an approximate straight line (ρ*=−1.39, r=0.9558 at 360 °C). In addition to this fact, when log k_rel is plotted against the theoretical log k_rel for 2-substituted ethyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates a reasonable straight line (r=0.9919 at 360 °C) is obtained, suggesting similar mechanism.     

Lower rim substituted tert-butylcalix[4]arenes. Part 8: Calix[4]arenes with dialkoxyphosphoryl functions. Synthesis and complexing properties

New compounds: 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-diisopropoxyphosphorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (1) and 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-methoxyethoxyphosphorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (2) were synthesized and their ionophoric properties in ion-selective membrane electrodes were studied in comparison with already described by us 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-diethoxyphophorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (3). Complexes of 1 with calcium(II), lanthanum(III), europium(III) and gadolinium(III) nitrates were prepared in direct reaction of the ligand and appropriate metal salts. They were characterized by spectral data (IR, UV/Vis, luminescence, NMR, ESI-MS) and elemental analysis. The similarity in complexing behavior of the (dialkoxyphosphoryl)propoxy-calix[4]arenes toward calcium and some lanthanides was observed.
