Fast and reversible migrations of N,S-centered groups around the perimeter of cyclopropene and cycloheptatriene rings

The kinetics and mechanism of circumambulatory rearrangements of N-centered (NCS) and S-centered (SPh, SC₃Ph₃, SC(OEt)=S) groups in corresponding derivatives of 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene and cycloheptatriene were studied by dynamic¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Migrations of the isothiocyanate group occur by the dissociation-recombination mechanism with intermediate formation of a tight ionic pair. Migrations of the phenylthio group around the perimeter of cyclopropene and cycloheptatriene rings occur by the 1,2-shift mechanism. It was found that rearrangements of theO-ethyl dithiocarbonate group inS-(1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropen-3-yl)-O-ethyl dithiocarbonate occur by the 3,3-sigmatropic shift mechanism. The molecular and crystal structure ofO-ethylS-(1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropen-3-yl) dithiocarbonate was studied by X-ray analysis.

5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-dimethyl(1-methyl-2-vinylaryl)-1H-1,3,4-triazoles and their complexes with Zn(II)

The interaction of 2,3-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazinium and 2-[β-(4-bromophenylvinyl)]-3-methyl-4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazinium perchlorates with hydrazine hydrate has afforded the corresponding triazoles that have been used as ligands for the synthesis of zinc complexes L₂Zn. Luminescent properties of the prepared complexes have been studied.

     

Electrochemical transformations of cycloheptatriene derivatives

Redox reactions of a series of substituted cycloheptatrienes are studied on a platinum electrode in acetonitrile using the cyclic voltammetry method. It was found that heptaphenyl-substituted cycloheptatrienes are irreversibly oxidized in two stages in the range of high anodic potentials to form unstable radical cations and dications. As opposed to the unsubstituted and monosubstituted cycloheptatrienes, they are not reduced at the potentials higher than ?2 V (SCE). A new stable radical anion was found in the reduction of N-cycloheptatrienylphthalimide. Its spin density distribution is studied by ESR spectroscopy.     

Quantum-chemical simulation of structure and conformational flexibility of 5,7-di(<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl)-2-(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)-1,3-tropolone

Density functional theory [DFT B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)] simulation has revealed stable tautomers and conformers of polydentate ligand system based on 5,7-di(tert-butyl)-2-(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)-1,3-tropolone with different structures of the coordination nodes, capable of formation of metal chelates. It has been shown that the tautomeric NH- and OH- forms with exo and endo location of the hydroxy group in the quinoline fragments (close in energy, ΔE_ZPE = 0.2–2.4 kcal/mol) are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Energy barriers of the interconversion of these forms via rotation about the C–OH bond of the phenolic fragment are of ΔE_ZPE^≠ = 2.1–4.2 kcal/mol, whereas the barrier of rotation about the bond between the quinoline and tropolone fragments is higher (ΔE_ZPE^≠ = 18.2 and 19.6 kcal/mol).
