SYNTHESIS AND THERMAL OXIDATIVE DEGRADATION
1459
the decomposition of alkyl substituents at the nitrogen
atom, followed by bond cleavage in the ring. In the
process, the endothermic effect of the bond cleavage is
compensated by the exothermic effect of the oxidation
of the fragments formed. The exothermic effects have
maxima at 255–300 (small peak) and 400°С.

EXPERIMENTAL
The IR spectra were recorded on an IFS 66 Fourier
1
transform IR spectrometer, and the Н NMR spectra,
on a Mercury plus 300 spectrometer (Varian) operating
at 300 MHz, with TMS as internal reference. Elemental
analysis was performed with a CHNS-932 device
(LECO Corporation, USA). The reaction progress was
monitored by TLC on Silufol UV-254 plates using
the system ethanol–chloroform–acetone (3 : 1 : 0.1)
+ two drops of H2SO4 per 10 ml of the mixture. The
chromatograms were visualized in an iodine chamber
or by UV. Thermal gravimetric analysis was performed
with a Q-1500D derivatograph at a heating rate of
2.5 deg min–1 in Alundum crucibles in air, and also
with an STA 449C Jupiter Fourier transform device
(Netzsch) at a heating rate of 2.5 deg min–1 under
argon (the device allows simultaneous recording of the
thermogram and DSC curve with analysis of the gas
phase).

Quaternization (general procedure). Equimolar
amounts of the starting compounds I–IV and halo
derivative were dissolved in acetonitrile and heated
for 5–72 h. The mixture was allowed to stand at room
temperature for 10–20 h. The resulting precipitate was
separated and washed with acetone or recrystallized
from water.
CONCLUSIONS
(1) The onset temperature and sequence of
degradation of 1.2-dipyridylethanes (-ethylenes) and
their quaternized derivatives are determined by the
symmetry of the electron distribution in the molecule,
by the presence or absence of conjugation between the
nitrogen atoms, by the structure of the substituent at the
quaternized nitrogen atom, and by the kind of the halide
ion, in agreement with the available data on thermal
degradation of related compounds.

(2) Quaternization leads to an increase in the
thermal stability of dipyridylethanes (-ethylenes). The
degradation onset temperature for the biquaternized
derivatives is higher than for the monoquaternized
derivatives, but the temperature interval of the
degradation for the latter compounds is broader.
