Synthesis and Structure of Triphenylbismuth Bis(Fluorobenzoates)

The reaction between triphenylbismuth, hydrogen peroxide, and 3,4,5-trifluorobenzoic or pentafluorobenzoic acid (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 2, respectively) in ether gave triphenylbismuth bis(3,4,5-trifluorobenzoate) (I) and triphenylbismuth bis(pentafluorobenzoate) (II) in 74 and 89% yields, respectively. The structures of compounds I and II were established by X-ray diffraction. The Bi atoms have a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with acylate groups in the axial positions. The OBiO angles are 170.2(2)° and 171.5(2)° in I and II, respectively. The Bi–C(Ph)_eq bond lengths vary in the range of 2.187(6)–2.204(5) Å, the Bi–O(acyl) lengths are 2.256(5) Å in I, and 2.281(5) and 2.318(5) Å in II. In the crystals I and II, the Bi and carbonyl O atoms are involved in intramolecular interactions (Bi···O(=C) 2.926(5)–3.176(5) Å), which increase the equatorial CBiC angles on the side of these contacts to 136.2(3)° and 138.6(2)° in I and II, respectively.     

Synthesis and Structure of Bis(tetraphenylantimony) Tetrafluorophthalate

Oxidation of pentaphenylantimony with atmospheric oxygen in toluene on heating gives -oxo-bis(tetraphenylantimony) (yield 63%). Its reaction with tetrafluorophthalic anhydride gives bis(tetraphenylantimony) tetrafluorophthalate (yield 94%). According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, the antimony atoms in the molecule of bis(tetraphenylantimony) tetrafluorophthalate have a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination with the following geometries: Sb-O bond lengths 2.357(3) and 2.283(3) Å, Sb-C bond lengths 2.108(4)-2.141(4) and 2.100(5)-2.158(4) Å, and CSbO angles 177.42(14)° and 176.18(14)°.     

A comparative investigation of the fatty acid compositions of the seeds of a number of lines of a genetic collection of Gossypium hirsutum

A comparative analysis has been made of the amounts of lipids and their fatty-acid compositions in the seeds of the lines of agenetic collection of cotton plants of the speciesGossypium hirsutum and their hybrids and the variety Tashkent-1. The results obtained on the fatty-acid compositions of some hybrids make it possible to recommend the use of individual lines of cotton plants as donors for improving the food-value indices of cottonseed oil.Institute of Chemsitry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Activation of C-F bonds in ionic liquids catalyzed by nickel complex compounds

A nickel complex-catalyzed hydrodefluorination of acet(pentafluoroanilide) with zinc in ionic liquids resulted in the corresponding 2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro, 3,4,5-trifluoro, and 3,4-difluoro derivatives. The influence of the ionic liquid nature and the reaction conditions on its selectivity were studied, a possibility of the multiple reuse of the ionic liquids as the reaction media was demonstrated.

Perylene derivatives formation in reaction of 3-bromobenzanthrone and 4-bromonaphthalic acid derivatives with a reduction system NiCl2-2,2′bipyridyl (or 1,10-phenathroline)-Zn

The reaction of 3-bromobenzanthrone and 4-bromonaphthalic acid derivatives with a reduction system NiCl₂-2,2′bipyridyl (or l,10-phenathroline)-Zn gives rise to compounds containing perylene fragment. Under similar conditions was established a possibility to transform substituted l.l′-binaphthyls into the corresponding perylene derivatives. The study was carried out under financial support of the State Research Center “NIOPIK” (grant no.528/93-1679).
