Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Saturated3,1,2-Benzoxazaphosphinine 2-Oxides

N-Unsubstituted, N-methyl and N-benzyl cis- and trans-2(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylamines were subjected to ring closure with phenylphosphonic dichloride, phenyl dichlorophosphate and bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride in order to synthesize P-epimeric diastereomers of the corresponding unsubsituted and N-substituted 2-phenyl-, 2phenoxy- and 2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]octahydro-2H3,1,2-benzoxazaphosphinine 2-oxides. The stereochemistry and conformations of the prepared compounds were analyzed mainly by variable-temperature 1 H, 13 C and 31 P NMR spectroscopy. Geometry optimizations were performed for some trans-fused molecules by utilizing the B3LYP DFT method and a locally dense basi…

Comparative study for separation of aquatic humic-type organic constituents by DAX-8, PVP and DEAE sorbing solids and tangential ultrafiltration: elemental composition, size-exclusion chromatography, UV-vis and FT-IR.

Aquatic humic-type solutes were separated in parallel from the same fresh water source by four different procedures: non-ionic polymethyl methacrylate (DAX-8) and functional cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) resins, functional diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE) and tangential ultrafiltration completed with a weakly basic anion exchange resin (IRA-67). The similarity-dissimilarity between the quantities and qualities of the different humic samples is discussed, especially in the light of the original dissolved organic matter (DOM). During the past two decades, a significant progress has occurred in the aquatic humic research due to the so-called hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties posse…

Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones by Treatment ofN-(Anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea with Bromoacetic Acid Derivatives

The reaction between N-(anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea (1) and methyl bromoacetate yielded mainly 2-[(anthracen-9-yl)imino]-3-ethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (2), together with some of the regioisomeric 3-(anthracen-9-yl)-2-ethylimino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (3). The structures of the products were elucidated by NMR techniques and, for 3, X-ray crystallographic analysis. Treatment of 1 with bromoacetyl bromide again yielded 2 and 3, but with a reversed product distribution ratio, thus providing an interesting and unexpected regioselectivity, depending on the electrophile selected. The underlying cause of the observed regioselectivity is a result of different reaction pathways taken by the two e…

A correlative IR, MS, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR and theoretical study of 4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-onesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: NMR data, including graphs; Cartesian coordinates for 3a and 4. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/p2/b1/b106322g/

Sixteen 4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-ones (3) were synthesised by cyclisation of α-thiocyanatoacetophenones (1) in acid solution. They appear to prefer greatly the oxo tautomeric forms. In CCl4 solution an equilibrium between the free CO bond and a “dimeric” hydrogen-bonded form exists in which the latter predominates. Several IR and NMR (1H, 13C and 15N) spectral properties are shown to correlate with Hammett σ-values and/or atomic Mulliken charges and bond orders, the latter being estimated by PM3 or AM1 semiempirical methods. The electron-impact mass spectra were also recorded and the fragmentation mechanisms interpreted in terms of the energetics of the ionic species. In addition, the geometric …

Frankiamide: A Structural Revision to Demethyl (C-11) Cezomycin.

A compound (née frankiamide) isolated from Frankia was initially structurally elucidated on the basis of NMR and MS. However, X-ray analysis provided a structure that is in discord with this structure and in light of this the structure has now been revised and the compound renamed as demethyl (C-11) cezomycin.

Complex tauto- and rotamerism of 2-(R-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines

Detailed NMR spectral analysis of CDCl3 solutions of 2-(R-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines reveals three or four tautomeric forms. Apart from 2-[(benzylideneamino)methyl]aniline, the other chain tautomeric forms are present only in minor quantities. In general, electron-donating substituents increase the contribution of all chain forms. Lowering the temperature of the CDCl3 solution of 2-(R-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines decreases the content of the 2-[(benzylideneamino)methyl]aniline form. At the same time, the amount of the ring form increases. Opening of the tetrahydropyrimidine ring in 2-(R-phenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines was found to be an endothermic process espec…
