The study focuses on the intramolecular cyclization of 1-[1-alkylsulfanyl-2-phenyl-2-(phenylhydrazono)ethylidene]pyrrolidinium salts, which are synthesized by the alkylation of thioamide with benzyl, allyl, and propargylsulfanyl groups in the presence of cesium carbonate in DMF at room temperature. These pyrrolidinium salts can be efficiently converted into 1,3-diphenyl-6,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine-4-thione derivatives in good yields. The research demonstrates that this cyclization method is general for alkyl derivatives of arylhydrazonothioacetamides, expanding the scope of this reaction type. The synthesized pyrrolotriazines are of practical interest due to their potential high antitumor activity, making them promising candidates for biological investigation. The study was financially supported by the Russian Basic Research Fund and includes detailed experimental procedures, characterization data, and comparison of the reaction outcomes with different bases and solvents.

The research focuses on the development of a highly enantioselective method for constructing a quaternary carbon center by catalytic enantioselective cross-aldol reactions between acetone and aryl trihalomethyl ketones, using N-(heteroarenesulfonyl)prolinamides as organocatalysts. The experiments involved the reaction of various trihalomethyl ketones (both trifluoromethyl and trichloromethyl) with acetone, utilizing N-(8-quinolinesulfonyl)prolinamide as the catalyst of choice, which was found to be highly efficient. The reactants included different aryl trifluoromethyl ketones and trichloromethyl ketones, along with acetone, and the products were analyzed for yield and enantioselectivity using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and X-ray crystallography to determine the absolute configuration of certain products. The study also employed molecular orbital calculations to elucidate the role of hydrogen bonding in exerting enantioselectivity, revealing that the interaction between the sulfonimide proton and the 8-quinolyl nitrogen atom is crucial for the reaction's selectivity.

The research focuses on two main studies within the field of organometallic chemistry. The first study investigates the electrochemical behavior of a mixture of isomers, specifically cis- and trans-Cr(CO)4(P(OMe)3)2, and the reversible electrochemical responses that involve significant structural changes. The researchers concluded that the observed single wave Nernstian response for the oxidation of the mixture is due to rapid isomerization of the oxidized cis+ species and/or a rapid cross redox reaction, which leads to the redox responses always being observed at the trans+/transO redox potential, irrespective of the equilibrium or nonequilibrium mixtures of the isomers present in the bulk solution. The second study presents a method for the stoichiometric hydroformylation of coordinated acetone using a zirconium complex, Cp2Zr[(μ-0C)Mo(CO)3Cp][μ2,η1-CMe2O)Zr(Me)Cp2], which undergoes CO insertion into its Zr-C bond, leading to the formation of α-hydroxyisobutyraldehyde. The researchers found that the acetone ligand in the complex is unreactive towards potential insertion reagents other than CO. The chemicals used in these processes include various organometallic compounds, such as chromium and zirconium complexes, as well as solvents like toluene and acidifying agents like CF3COOH.

The research investigates the three-component condensation reaction of propan-2-one (acetone) with formaldehyde and propane-2-thiol in the presence of sodium hydroxide to produce various ?-keto sulfides. The study aims to determine the optimal conditions for forming different products, namely 4-[(propan-2-yl)sulfanyl]butan-2-one (1), 3-{[(propan-2-yl)sulfanyl)methyl]but-3-en-2-one (2), and 4-[(propan-2-yl)sulfanyl]-3-{[(propan-2-yl)sulfanyl)methyl}butan-2-one (3), by varying the amount of sodium hydroxide. The key findings are that the product ratio depends on the quantity of sodium hydroxide used. When the molar ratio of acetone : formaldehyde : propane-2-thiol : sodium hydroxide is 1 : 1 : 1 : 0.03, compound 1 is initially formed, which then transforms into compounds 2 and 3. Increasing the amount of sodium hydroxide to 0.4 mol results in a maximum conversion of propane-2-thiol to 99% within 5 hours, with bis-sulfide 3 being the major product. The study concludes that the formation of compound 2 involves an aldol condensation of compound 1 with formaldehyde, and compound 3 is produced via a base-catalyzed thia-Michael addition of propane-2-thiol to the C=C double bond of compound 2.

The study in the provided document investigates the reaction of quaternary ammonium salts with a 1,1-dimethylbut-2-yne-1,4-diyl common group with aqueous alkali. The research focuses on the intermediate formation of 1,2-cleavage products rather than 1,4-cleavage products. When both nitrogen atoms have allylic groups, a rearrangement followed by cleavage and substitution occurs, leading to the formation of methyl isopropyl ketones. Salts with two 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl groups result in the cleavage of isoprene. The study also explores the reactions of 1,4-diammonium salts with two methyl substituents in the but-2yne-1,4-diyl common group under the influence of aqueous alkali, detailing the products and mechanisms involved in these chemical transformations.

The research presents an investigation into the reactions of substituted 1-nitro-2-phenylethenes with N-phenacyl- and N-acetonylisoquinolinium bromides, aiming to expand the understanding of reactions involving nitrophenylethenes and azomethine ylides. The experiments involved the reaction of phenylethenes I and II with precursors of azomethine ylides, III and IV, using sodium hydride in dry dioxane to generate active azomethine ylides, which then underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to form substituted tetrahydropyrroloisoquinolines V–VIII in yields of 55–62%. The structures of these compounds were confirmed using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analysis. Additionally, the carbonyl group in the cycloadducts allowed for further heterocyclization with hydrazine hydrate to synthesize novel substituted hexahydrotriazinoindolizines IX–XII. The IR spectra showed characteristic absorption bands for the NO2 and CN groups, and the 1H NMR spectra provided details on the protons of the pyrrolidine and isoquinoline rings. The reaction progress and compound homogeneity were monitored using TLC on Silufol UV-254 plates with a solvent mixture of acetone and hexane.

The research focuses on elucidating the supramolecular structure of benzoxazine oligomers using a combination of molecular modeling, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. The study characterizes intramolecular hydrogen bonds as the driving forces behind the ring-shaped and helical conformations observed in trimeric and tetrameric units. The experiments involved the synthesis of model trimer and tetramer structures, which were then subjected to fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) 1H NMR spectra to assign resonances of protons forming hydrogen bonds. The experiments use n-hexane, acetone, chloroform, methylamine, p-cresol, and formaldehyde as solvents and reagents. DFT-based geometry optimizations and 1H chemical-shift calculations were used to validate and refine the structural models. Additional analyses included homonuclear 1H-1H double-quantum NMR spectra to identify local proton-proton proximities and quantitative 15N-1H distance measurements obtained from dipolar spinning sideband patterns. These experimental and computational approaches collectively supported the proposed helical geometry of the benzoxazine polymer, which could account for the material's unique chemical properties.
