The hydroazocine route to highly functionalized pyrrolizidines

Studies of the preparation of 1,8-dihydroazocines and transannular cyclization of hydroazocines to produce functionalized pyrrolizidines are described. Results are presented which demonstrate that unsymmetrically substituted acetylenes bearing at least one electron withdrawing groups undergo efficient cycloaddition to 1 - β - styryl - 1,2 - dihydropyridine producing in a regio-selective fashion 3,4 - disubstituted - 1,8 - dihydroazocines. The dihydroazocines generated in this manner can be converted to 1 - formyl - Δ^4,5 - epoxyazocines which undergo interesting rearrangement reactions to form pyrrolizidines when subjected to methoxide deformylation followed by acid treatment. In addition, 1,6,7,8 - tetrahydroazocines can be converted to pyrrolizidines under bromination conditions. The intriguing chemical process which occur under the conditions outlined above are described.     

Hydrogen bonding between solvation shells around gd3+ from cooperative vibronic spectra

Cooperative vibronic spectra involving Gd³⁺ electronic transitions and the vibrational transitions of nearby water molecules are used to determine the stretching spectrum for isotopically dilute OH in a solution of GdCl₃ in D₂O. The OH stretching spectrum of water molecules in the first hydration sphere is shifted to lower energy than that of the bulk liquid.

A note on the thermodynamics of dimanganese and dirhenium decacarbonyls

The results of low temperature heat capacity studies on Mn₂(CO)₁₀(s) and Re₂(CO)₁₀(s) are compared with literature reports. It is shown that the values of vaporization enthalpies and entropies correspond with those of the low temperature stable phase.

Kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of the axial base dissociation of solid Co(salen) (X-py) complexes, X = H (1), 3-Me (2), 4-Me (3), 3,4-Me₂ (4), 3,5-Me₂ (5), 3-NH₂ (6), 3-Cl (7), 3-CN (8), 4-CN (9), have been investigated by means of TG-DSC and isothermal weight-loss measurements. These adducts endothermically dissociate the axial base giving rise to the oxygen-active Co(salen) complex. The axial base dissociation reactions fit the contracting disc equation and the kinetic compensation effect is observed for all the adducts excepting Adducts 4–6. For the remaining adducts the kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of the Co-(X-py) bond are found to increase linearly with increasing Hammett's substitution constants of X except for Adducts 3 and 9. These results are discussed in terms of the σ and π interactions between cobalt(II) and substituted pyridine. Factors dominating the kinetic bond stability are briefly discussed.     

Magnetic behavior of copper diethyldithiocarbamate at low temperatures: A reinvestigation

The title compound, Cu(S₂CNEt₂)₂, behaves at low temperatures (1–20 K) as a normal spin-1/2 molecule, with 〈g〉 =2.06 and the Curie-Weiss θ = +0.25 K. This result contradicts an earlier investigation that led to the suggestion that the crystallographically-occurring dimers are coupled ferromagnetically.     

Vibrational and high pressure conformational studies of 1,1,2-trichloroethane

The infrared spectra of 1,1,2-trichloroethane were recorded from 4000 to 50 cm^?1 in the vapour and liquid states. Additional spectra above 200 cm^?1 of the low temperature crystal and of two crystalline solids, prepared by compressing the sample in a diamond anvil cell, were obtained. Also, infrared spectra of the liquid and of the compound dissolved in CS₂ were recorded at increased pressures. Raman spectral data of the liquid (including polarization measurements) and of the low temperature crystal were obtained.The fundamental frequencies for each of the two conformers, C₁ and C_s, were assigned and the results checked by normal coordinate analysis. The same diagonal and off-diagonal force constants were employed for the two conformers and the force fields were derived by means of a least squares refinement, including data for chloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethane and various deuterated species. A standard deviation of 3 % was obtained in the final fit.From the changes in relative intensities for infrared bands belonging to the C₁ and C_s conformers with increasing pressure, the volume differences (ΔV¯between the conformers were determined in CS₂ solution and in the pure liquid.

Calculation of vertical ionization potentials of difluoramine by perturbation corrections to koopmans' theorem

The vertical ionization potentials of difluoramine are calculated by perturbation corrections to Koopmans' theorem. The calculation shows that difluoraimine has three overlapping bands between 15 and 16 eV. The calculated results compare well with the experimental values. The photoelectron spectrum of difluoramine is compared with that of OF₂ and CH₂F₂.
