Aminolysis of 2-Aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]1,3]thiazin-7-ones

We have established that the products of aminolysis of 2-aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo-[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones in boiling ethanol are 3-R-3-(5-aryl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylsulfanyl)-propanamides, and at 180°C–210°C (depending on the structure of the substituent R): 3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione and 3-arylacrylamides or 3-(3-aryl-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propanamides. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1587–1592, October, 2005.     

Synthetic studies on 3-arylquinazolin-4-ones: intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2-carboxamido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones and its application to the synthesis of secondary aryl amines

The general synthesis and a novel intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr) reaction of 2-carboxamido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones, a potentially useful scaffold in the field of medicinal chemistry, are described. The synthetic utility of the S_NAr reaction as a tool for the synthesis of secondary aryl amines, including diaryl amines, is also demonstrated.     

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.     

Titania-supported mixed HPMoV polyoxometallates as precursors of hydrodesulfurization catalysts

HDS catalysts were prepared by loading H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ or H₄PMo₁₁V₁O₄₀ polyoxometallates on TiO₂ (0.5 and 1.0 mmol (Mo+V)). Activity of the catalysts was tested in the HDS of thiophene. The activity of catalysts of low concentration was 2–3 times higher than the activity of those of high concentration. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and IR spectroscopy were used to determine the properties of the catalyst. TPR measurements proved that vanadium promotes and stabilizes HDS activity due to an increase in the Mo⁵⁺/Mo⁴⁺ ratio.     

Synthesis and anticholinesterase activity of some new fluorogenic analogues of organophosphorus nerve agents

Eighteen new fluorogenic analogues of organophosphorus nerve agents were synthesised and characterised. They included analogues of tabun, sarin, cyclosarin, soman, VX, and Russian VX, with the 7-oxy-4-methylcoumarin or 7-oxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)coumarin leaving group. These analogues inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) effectively in vitro and therefore have potential as tools for the identification of novel organophosphatases in biological systems. Analogues of VX and Russian VX with the 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin group, although poor AChE inhibitors, may have utility for screening enzyme libraries for phosphoramidases capable of cleaving P-N bonds.     

Neutron powder diffraction study of A2BeF4 (A=K, Rb, Cs): Structure refinement and analysis of background

The crystal structure of potassium, rubidium and caesium fluoroberyllates have been re-examined by neutron powder diffraction at room temperature and at 1.5 K. Previously, their structures, obtained from X-ray data, were described in the Pn2₁a space group. However, the results obtained from Rietveld refinements, using powder neutron diffraction, at both temperatures, indicated that all structures are orthorhombic with space group Pnma. The known phase transition at high temperature is probably related to the appearance of a hexagonal pseudo-symmetry instead of the elimination of the mirror plane between the above mentioned orthorhombic space groups. A possible phase transition, at very low temperature, was discarded considering the stereochemical criteria concerning the structural stability of A₂BX₄ compounds. This was confirmed by thermal analysis. On the other hand, a modulated background has been detected in all samples during the refinements. This is compatible with the presence of an amorphous phase, coexisting with the crystalline phase, or with a disordered component within the main crystalline phase. Instead of using a polynomial function, the background was modelled by Fourier filtering improving the fit for all patterns. The radial distribution function (RDF) was obtained from the analysis of the calculated background and compared with the RDF from the average crystal structure. The advantages of neutron with respect to X-ray diffraction were evidenced for this type of compound with β-K₂SO₄-type structure.     

AES investigations on starting powders for high performance ceramics

AES depth profiles on ceramic powders (untreated/hydrolyzed/oxidized/ (Al, Y)₂O₃ coated Si₃N₄, [BaO, SiO₂] coated Al₂O₃) are feasible on thin, homogeneous layers or m sized agglomerations prepared on an Au foil. By means of the depth profiles one can qualitatively characterize the coating around the particles. Factor analysis of the depth profiles on the differently treated Si₃N₄ powders suggests the existence of an Si₂N₂O phase on the oxidized sample.Dedicated to Professor Günther Tölg on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

离子液体存在下脂肪醛的环化三聚反应

Aliphatic aldehydes such as ethanal,propanal,n-butanal,isobutyraldehyde,n-valeraldehyde,isovaleraldehyde,n-hexanal and n-octanal were converted into the corresponding 2,4,6-trialkyl-1,3,5-trioxanes through cyclotrimer-ization in the presence of the ferric chloride based ionic liquids at room temperature without solvent in high selec-tivity.The effects of different ionic liquids,acidity of ionic liquids and temperature on cyclotrimerization were alsostudied.The results showed that the ferric chloride based ionic liquids(apparent molar fraction of FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62))were a kind of efficient catalysts for the cyclotrimerization of aliphatic aldehyde which could be separatedconveniently from the reaction mixture and recycled without loss of catalytic activity.The conversion of isobu-tyraldehyde and the selectivity to 2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-trioxane were 91.1% and 99.8% respectively under opti-mum reaction condition(isobutyraldehyde 25.0 g,[Et_3NH]Cl/FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62)1.0 g,25 ℃for 1 h).     

The crystal structure of Fe(SeO2OH)(SeO4)·H2O

Summary The crystal structure of the hydrothermally synthesized compound Fe(SeO₂OH) (SeO₄) · H₂O was determined by single crystal diffraction methods:a=8.355(2) Å,b=8.696(2) Å,c=9.255(2) Å, =93.72(1)°,V=670.95 ų;Z=4, space group P2₁/c,R=0.029,R _w=0.027 for 2430 independent reflections (sin /0.76 Å^–1). Isolated FeO₅(H₂O)-octahedra share five corners with [SeO₂OH] and [SeO₄] groups to form sheets parallel to (100). These sheets are interconnected via hydrogen bonds only.
