Biphenyl 2-cyano-4 -methyl

The copolymer under investigation in the current work was a cyano-biphenyl and methylated benzoic ester side-chain substructural polysiloxane of high positive dielectric anisotropy (A8). The structure and transition details are given in Fig. 2 and the polymer is called PG 296 to relate to other work being published.

The photodecarbonylation of a series of dibenzyl ketones was studied by Robbins and Eastman/63 The results of this study are presented in Table 4.5. The data in Table 4.5 indicate that the presence of a p-methyl or a p-methoxy group has little effect on the quantum yield for this reaction. p-Cyano groups, on the other hand, essentially totally eliminated the decarbonylation. Since the reaction could also be quenched (inefficiently) by benzonitrile or biphenyl, it was concluded that the decarbonylation occurs from a short-lived triplet state. The effect of the p-cyano groups then could result from internal triplet quenching. 

The sequence for the synthesis of l,3,6-triazacycl[3,3,3]azines (58) is based on the reaction of 2,6-diaminopyridine with ethoxymethylene-malononitrile or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate, leading to compounds 56. These on acylation gave 57, which after cyclodehydration yielded the desired cyclazines (58). Small amounts of the unsubstituted parent triazacyclazine (58a) were observed when the cyclization of 57 was carried out in a refluxing mixture of biphenyl and diphenyl ether. Decyanation of 4-cyano-2-methyl-l,3,6-triazacycl[3,3,3]azine (58f) with polyphosphoric acid at 200° yields 2-methyl-l,3,6-triazacycl-[3,3,3]azine (58b).18-80 The synthesis of 58d was carried out by a closely related route.74... 

Alkoxy derivatives of biphenyl can be obtained either from alkoxy-anilines or by coupling with alkoxybenzenes. From diazotized p-bromo-aniline and anisole a 20% yield of 4-bromo-2 -methoxybiphenyl and a 7% yield of 4-bromo-4 -methoxybiphenyl are obtained. In connection with their studies on Cannabis Indica, Ghosh, Pascall, and Todd u prepared the highly substituted biphenyl compound, 2-cyano-5-methyl-2, 5 -dimethoxy-4 -n-amylbiphenyl (VII), in 27% yield from the nitrosoacetyl derivative of 2-cyano-5-methylaniline and 2,5-dimethoxy-n-amylben-zene. 

Deoxytazettine neomethide (31), a key degradation product of tazettine, has been prepared (Scheme 4).11 The biphenyl derivative (28), obtained in low yield by Ullman condensation, was converted into the cyano-oxepin (29) in two steps (34% overall yield). Reduction gave the amine (30), which upon resolution followed by reductive methylation provided a sample of (—)-deoxytazettine neomethide (31) that was identical (including optical rotation) with the degradation product of tazettine.

There have been several recent investigations into the mechanism of photo-cyanation of aromatic hydrocarbons. The process with naphthalene, biphenyl, and phenanthrene has been subjected to a kinetic analysis the reactions in dry or aqueous methyl cyanide are shown to involve two transient species, the first of which is an ionic complex formed from a triplet excimer of the arene, or, in the presence of an electron acceptor, from a triplet exciplex. Reaction of the transient complex with the cyanide ion yields the radical ArHCN, and in aqueous methyl cyanide this second transient reacts with itself to produce dihydrocyano- and cyano-compounds. In dry methyl cyanide the radical species is oxidized to the cyano product.
