Strukturen neuer SeII- und TeII-Komplexe mit 2,2-Dicyanethylen-1,1-dithiolat, 2,2-Dicyanethylen-1,1-thioselenolat und 2,2-Dicyanethylen-1,1-diselenolat

Structures of New Se^II and Te^II Complexes Containing 2,2-Dicyanethylene-1,1-dithiolate, 2,2-Dicyanethylene-1,1-thioselenolate, and 2,2-Dicyanethylene-1,1-diselenolate (NBu₄)₂{Se[S₂C?C(CN)₂]₂} ( I ), (AsPh₄)₂ · {Te[SSeC?C(CN)₂]₂} ( II ), and (NBu₄)₂{Te[Se₂C?C(CN)₂]₂} ( III ) containing the bidentate chelate ligands 2,2-dicyanethylene-1,1-dithiolate i-mnt , 2,2-dicyanethylene-1,1-thioselenolate i-mnts , and 2,2-dicyanethylene-1,1-diselenolate i-mns have been prepared and characterized by X-ray structure analysis. The central units consist of [M(X? X)₂E₂]^2? (M = Se, Te; X? X = ligand; E = lone-pair) with fourfold coordinated Se^II and Te^II, respectively. The complex anions [Se(i-mnt)₂E₂]^2? as well as [Te(i-mnts)₂E₂]^2? show a trapezoide distortion with d(Se? S) = 2.276(5); 2.287(5); 2.803(5); 2.789(5) Å and d(Te? Se) = 2.611(2); 2.617(3); d(Te? S) = 2.889(5); 2.935(4) Å. In III there are centrosymmetric complex anions [Te(i-mns)₂E₂]^2? with nearly identical Te? Se-bond-lengths: 2.674(3) and 2.692(2) Å. These Te? Se bonds are elongated compared to usual Te? Se bonds.

The characterization of the compounds CF₃SeX (X = H, Cl, Br, CN, CF₃, SeCF₃) is completed by the report of melting points, boiling points, enthalpies of vaporization and entropies of vaporization. Ultraviolet and mass spectra are presented and discussed. An improved synthesis for CF₃SeH is reported.     

Reactivity sequences of dipolarophiles towards diazocarbonyl compounds - MO perturbation treatment

Whereas diazomethane cycloadditions are only accelerated by electron-attracting substituents in the olefinic or acetylenic dipolarophile, the cycloadditions of diazoacetic, diazomalonic and diazo(phenylsulfonyl)acetic ester show in accordance with the PMO treatment U-shaped activity functions when log k₂ is plotted versus the lowest IP of the dipolarophiles.     

A new color of the synthetic chameleon methoxyallene: synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridinol derivatives: an unusual reaction mechanism, a remarkable crystal packing, and first palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions

Addition of lithiated methoxyallene to pivalonitrile afforded after aqueous workup the expected iminoallene 1 in excellent yield. Treatment of this intermediate with silver nitrate accomplished the desired cyclization to the electron-rich pyrrole derivative 2 in moderate yield. Surprisingly, trifluoroacetic acid converted iminoallene 1 to a mixture of enamide 3 and trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridinol 4 (together with its tautomer 5). A plausible mechanism proposed for this intriguing transformation involves addition of trifluoroacetate to the central allene carbon atom of an allenyl iminium intermediate as crucial step. Enamide 3 is converted to pyridinol 4 by an intramolecular aldol-type process. A practical direct synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridinols 4, 10, 11, and 12 starting from typical nitriles and methoxyallene was established. Pyridinol 10 shows an interesting crystal packing with three molecules in the elementary cell and a remarkable helical supramolecular arrangement. Trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridinol 4 was converted to the corresponding pyridyl nonaflate 13, which is an excellent precursor for palladium-catalyzed reactions leading to pyridine derivatives 14-16 in good to excellent yields. The new synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridines disclosed here demonstrates a novel reactivity pattern of lithiated methoxyallene which is incorporated into the products as the unusual tripolar synthon B.     

New polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines derived from enantiopure 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines

[reaction: see text] Diastereoselective hydroborations of enantiopure 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines led to dihydroxy-substituted 1,2-oxazines. Samarium diiodide-induced N-O bond cleavage generated 1,4-amino alcohols which were recyclized to polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines which are potential glycosidase inhibitors.     

Synthesis, characterization and thermal studies on solid compounds of 2-chlorobenzylidenepyruvate of heavier trivalent lanthanides and yttrium(III)

Solid-state compounds of general formula LnL_3⋅nH₂O, where Ln represents heavier lanthanides and yttrium and L is 2-chlorobenzylidenepyruvate, have been synthesized. Chemical analysis, simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry, elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy have been employed to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds in dynamic air atmosphere. On heating these compounds decompose in four (Gd, Tb, Ho to Lu, Y) or five (Eu, Dy) steps. They lose the hydration water in the first step and the thermal decomposition of the anhydrous compounds up to 1200°C occurs with the formation of the respective oxide, Tb₄O₇ and Ln₂O₃ (Ln=Eu, Gd, Dy to Lu and Y) as final residue. The dehydration enthalpies found for these compounds (Eu, to Lu and Y) were: 65.77, 55.63, 86.89, 121.65, 99.80, 109.59, 131.02, 119.78, 205.46 and 83.11 kJ mol^-1, respectively.
