Synthesis of some new derivatives of dithiene-and oxathienecarboxylic acids

Substituted anilides of 1,4-dithiene- and oxathienecarboxylic acids were synthesized. It was shown that the reaction of 3-phenyl-1,4-dithi-2-ene-2-carboxyl chloride with 2-aminopyridines, depending on the base used and the reaction conditions, leads to the formation of N-[3-phenyl-2-(1,4-dithi-2-en)ylcarbonyl]2-amino-pyridine and/or N,N-bis[3-phenyl-2-(1,4-dithi-2-en)-ylcarbonyl]pyridonimine. The data of IR, UV, and PME spectroscopy were used to confirm the structure of the synthesized compounds.A. E.

Structure of the condensation product of benzalaniline with N,N-dimethylamide of dichloroacetic acid under darzens reaction conditions

Condensation of benzalaniline with N,N-dimethylamide of dichloroacetic acid under Darzens reaction conditions was used to obtain r-1, t-3-diphenyl-c-2-chloro-2-(NN-dimethylcarbamoyl)aziridine. The structure was established by x-ray diffraction analysis. Stabilization of the position of the substituents at the atoms of the aziridine ring by the hyperconjugation interaction of the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom with the antibonding orbital of the C-CI bond is discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 189–192, February, 1994.

Synthesis, structures, and properties of new thiophosphorylated fullerenopyrrolidines. First example of the Pishchimuka reaction in fullerene derivatives

The reactions of fullerene C₆₀ with thiophosphorylated mono-or dialdehydes and N-methylglycine in toluene afforded new thiophosphorylated fullerenopyrrolidines, including those containing the free aldehyde group. The purity and compositions of the reaction products were confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and HPLC. The structures of the reaction products were established by two-dimensional homo-and heterocorrelation NMR experi-ments. The properties of the products were studied by cyclic voltammetry and quantum chemical methods. The Pishchimuka rearrangement in thiophosphorylated derivatives of fullerenopyrrolidines was performed for the first time, and thiol esters of phosphonic acids of fullerenopyrrolidines were prepared.

Optically active silyl esters of selenophosphonic acids and stereochemistry of their synthesis

Conclusions The optically active O-ethyl O-trimethylsilyl esters of ethylselenophosphonic acid were obtained and the stereochemistry of their formation was studied.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2362–2364, October, 1979.The authors express their gratitude to R.

Competitive conversions of carbonyl-containing methanofullerenes induced by electron transfer

The electrochemical reduction of carbonyl-containing methanofullerenes is studied by methods of cyclic voltammetry and ESR with in situ electrolysis in the environment of 0.1 M Bu₄NBF₄ in o-dichlorobenzene-dimethylformamide (3:1 by volume). It is shown that the one-electron transfer onto the fullerene sphere of these compounds induces opening of the three-membered cycle, which leads to processes of retrocyclopropanation, transfer of the adduct onto the fullerene sphere of another molecule with the formation of bismethanofullerenes, and transformation into fullerodihydrofuran. The totality of competitive processes and the balance between these is defined by the nature of substituents at the exocarbon atom and the experimental conditions. The opening process is interpreted as the intramolecular electron transfer from the fullerene sphere onto the three-membered cycle.     

Dichloromethyl tert-butyl ketone in the Darzens reaction

The condensation of dichloromethyl tert-butyl ketone (1) with benzaldehyde, para-bromobenzaldehyde, and 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde under conditions for the Darzens reaction gives 1-aryl-1-chloro-4,4-dimethyl-2,3-pentanediones (2–4). In the case of nitrobenzaldehydes, the reaction products are 1-aryl-2-chloro-1,2-epoxy-4,4-dimethylpentanones (5 and 6), which isomerize to -chloroketones (7 and 8) upon prolonged storage or heating at reflux in benzene.A.
