Simple Substituted Compounds

The CO polyhedron in Os3(CO), 2 indicating small distortions from D3h symmetry in the crystal. 

The nuclearity of Os3(CO)12 is decreased on gaining CO ligands and increased on losing them. Os3(CO)12 reacts with CO (200 atm) at 280°C to give Os(CO)5 (60%) which only reverts to Os3(CO)12 in normal laboratory 

Halogenation reactions of Os3(CO) 2 have already been described (78-81). Initially trinuclear compounds are formed, but easy breakdown to mono- and dinuclear compounds occurs with an excess of halogen (81,300). Hydrogenation of Os3(CO)12 at atmospheric pressure gives good yields of 

Os3H2(CO)10 (15), but if high pressures of hydrogen are used (120 atm) then Os4H4(CO)12 is the major product (301). 

The cluster Ru3(CO)12 is very reactive toward ions of the form [PPN][X] in dichloromethane, reacting readily with [PPN] [Cl] to give [PPN][Ru3-Ox-Cl)(CO)10] (311). Furthermore, [PPN][CH3C02] and [PPN][CN] catalyze CO substitution by PPh3 (312). As yet no such reactions have been reported for Os3(CO)12.

Derivatives of the boranes include not only simple substituted compounds in which H has been replaced by halogen, OH, alkyl or aryl groups, etc., but also the much more diverse and numerous class of compounds in which one or more B atom in the cluster is replaced by another main-group element such as C, P or S, or by a wide range of metal atoms or coordinated metal groups. These will be considered in later sections. 

Sucrochemistry is already more than 50 years old, and has become a field of carbohydrate chemistry on its own. Indeed, considerable progress has been achieved in the monitoring of the chemical reactivity of sucrose, with the efforts of many research teams who have built on the steps of a few pioneers. Many sucrose derivatives can now be prepared, and sophisticated synthons as well as simple substituted compounds have been reported. However, only a few examples have yet reached the level of the industrial development, and these are mainly in the field of food and cosmetic additives and surfactants. Various polymers, additives for materials, and some chemical intermediates have also been produced. Bioconversions are certainly a major avenue for using sucrose as a starting material, and ethanol production will increase as a consequence of high oil prices. Current awareness of the shortage of fossil resources emphasizes the potential for chemical transformations of sucrose in providing new uses of this abundant natural resource. 

For this class of thiazoles most of the chemical and physicochemical studies are centered around the protomeric equilibrium and its consequences. The position of this equilibrium may be determined by spectroscopic and titrimetric methods, as seen in each section. A simple HMO (Hiickel Molecular Orbitals) treatment of 2-substituted compounds however, may, exemplify general trends. This treatment considers only protomeric forms 1 and 2 evidence for the presence of form 3 has never been found. The formation energy reported in Table 1 is the energy difference in f3 units. 

Simple ABO compounds in addition to BaTiO are cadmium titanate [12014-14-17, CdTiO lead titanate [12060-00-3] PbTiO potassium niobate [12030-85-2] KNbO sodium niobate [12034-09-2], NaNbO silver niobate [12309-96-5], AgNbO potassium iodate [7758-05-6], KIO bismuth ferrate [12010-42-3], BiFeO sodium tantalate, NaTaO and lead zirconate [12060-01 -4], PbZrO. The perovskite stmcture is also tolerant of a very wide range of multiple cation substitution on both A and B sites. Thus many more complex compounds have been found (16,17), eg, (K 2 i/2) 3 ... 

The remarkable activating influence of the dialkylaminoalkyl side-chain was still shown when the harmol nucleus was replaced by other basic nuclei or even by a simple substituted amino-group, and out of an extensive series of compounds of the general formula (D) aK-tetra-n-amyldiamino-M-decane proved to be the most active. 

By changing from the simplest to larger aliphatic and cyclic ketones, structural factors may be introduced which favor alternative unimolecular primary photoprocesses or provide pathways to products not available to the simple model compound. In addition, both the increase in molecular size and irradiation in solution facilitate rapid vibrational relaxation of the electronically excited reactant as well as the primary products to thermally equilibrated species. In this way the course of primary and secondary reactions will also become increasingly structure-selective. In a,a -unsym-metrically substituted ketones, the more substituted bond undergoes a-cleavage preferentially. 

Methyl and 6-methyl-5-n-propyl substituted 2,4-dimethoxy-pyrimidines react with methyl iodide, as does the simple dimethoxy compound, to give methoxypyrimidones, but the 6-chloro-2,4-dimethoxy derivative (47) is affected only at 100°, when it gives 4-chloro-1,3-dimethyluracil (48). ... 

Yet another compound that exhibits antidepressant properties, that does not fit the classical mold, is a rather simple substituted ami dine. Reaction of amide with triethyloxoniurn fluoroborate (Meerwein reagent) affords the corresponding imino ether Exposure of this inter-... 

It has been proposed that the ring-expansion reaction is initiated by attack of the base at position 2 of the quinazoline oxide, which is rendered electron deficient by the inductive effect of the (V-oxide group. In fact, 2-(Chloromethyl)quinazolines, compounds that lack this feature, react with amines to give only simple substitution products.1133... 

Most of these values differ from those given in the original papers and which have been derived by the unjustifiable comparison of the benzene deuteration data with the dedeuteration data for the substituted compound this same error has been made elsewhere by these Russian workers (seep. 265). In some cases there is no alternative to this approximation and the data so derived is marked with an asterisk. Some of the values differ very markedly from those given in the original papers and which seem to the reviewer to have been obtained by methods which defy the laws of simple arithmetic. b E, - 15.8. 

Anthraquinones occur as their oxygenated derivatives, with the substitution pattern reflecting their origins from the polyketide or shikunate pathway [13,18-20]. They are typically rather polar and, in many cases, their polarity is increased by their glycosidation. Although dimeric forms are known, most of the compounds identified are monomeric and have a relatively simple substitution of the central nucleus. Figure... 

A range of different functional groups has been introduced into the V-position of the C3 side chain, as shown in Table 6.10. A number of different functionalities were shown to be tolerated in this position, with lipophilic groups such as methyl and dithiolane being preferred over polar groups such as ketones and alcohols. Ketone (118) had similar CBi receptor affinity to the unfunctionalised -heptyl compound (84), while alcohol (120) had lower affinity. The phenyl ketone (119) had lower CBi receptor affinity than the simple benzyl-substituted compound (116), but higher CB2 affinity, with about 12-fold selectivity for CB2 over CBi. 

The structures of ionic compounds comprising complex ions can in many cases be derived from the structures of simple ionic compounds. A spherical ion is substituted by the complex ion and the crystal lattice is distorted in a manner adequate to account for the shape of this ion. 

Benson has developed a detailed group contribution method for the estimation of heats of formation see Benson (1976) and Benson et al. (1968). He estimates the accuracy of the method to be from 2.0 kJ/mol for simple compounds, to about 12 kJ/mol for highly substituted compounds. Benson s method, and other group contribution methods for the estimation of heats of formation, are described by Reid et al. (1987). 

The intramolecular Pummerer reaction has been applied to the synthesis of simple quinolizidine alkaloids like lupinine <2000JOC2368>, and also to arenoquinolizine alkaloids. Thus, the 2-(2-piperidyl)indole 284 was converted to indolo[2,3- ]quinolizidine 287 following a protocol that has as the key step the regioselective cyclization onto the indole 3-position of a thionium ion generated by Pummerer reaction from the appropriately substituted compound... 

Many versatile approaches to the construction of fused heterocyclic systems (6 5 6) with ring junction heteroatoms have been reported. More general reactions which can be used for synthesis of derivatives of several tricyclic systems, and transformations which have potential for use in the preparation of a series of substituted compounds, are discussed in this section. Formation of the five-membered ring is presented first because it is a conceptually simple approach. It should be noted, however, that the addition of a fused six-membered ring to a bicyclic component offers much more versatility in the construction of a (6 5 6) system. Each subsection below starts with intramolecular cyclization of an isolated intermediate product. Reactions which follow are one-pot intermolecular cyclizations. 

In contrast to the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction, triaryl phosphites prove to be quite useful for addition to a,(3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in this type of reaction. A wide variety of unsaturated compounds have been utilized successfully as substrates for such additions, including condensation products of the simple carbonyl compounds with urea,229 thiourea,230-233 N-substituted thioureas,232 234 235 ethyl carbamate,236 2-imidazolidinone,237 2-imidazoli-dinethione,237 and benzyl carbamate.238-240... 

While mescaline is a simple 2-phenethylamine derivative, the addition of an alpha-methyl group to the side chain yields Structure 8 (TMA). This simple hybrid of the structures of mescaline and amphetamine retains the hallucinogenic effects of mescaline but possesses about twice the potency of the latter (174,200). Addition of the alpha-methyl to other 3,4,5-substituted compounds generally brings about an approximately twofold increase in potency. The addition of an alpha-methyl to 2,4,5-substituted compounds, however, may dramatically increase activity. For example, 2-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) ethylamine apparently is clinically inactive (195). Addition of an alpha-methyl gives TMA-2 (Table 1), with 20 times the potency of mescaline. However, the addition of an alpha-methyl does not significantly increase in vitro receptor affinity in either 3,4,5-or 2,4,5-series (72,78). Thus it is probable that the alpha-methyl may confer metabolic stability in vivo. It could also be speculated that this protection is more important in the 2,4,5-substituted series than in 3,4,5-substituted compounds. 

The most simple substitution is that with 13 CO. The following compounds are known to exchange easily (in solution 25 °C, 1 atm) Co4(CO)12 47> 69, ... 

Reduction of 2-bromo-3-pentanone at mercury affords a mixture of 3-pentanone and l-hydroxy-3-pentanone, whereas electrolysis of Q ,Q -dibromoacetone in the presence of benzoate gives a mixture of products arising from both a carbon-bromine bond cleavage and an Sn2 displacement of bromide by benzoate [94]. In an acetic acid-acetate buffer, branched dibromo ketones, such as 2,4-dibromo-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone, are reduced to a-acetoxy ketones however, less highly substituted compounds, such as 4,6-dibromo-5-nonanone, undergo simple cleavage of both carbon-bromine bonds [95]. Other work dealing with the reduction of Q, Q -dibromoketones has been described [96]. 

It is assumed that as with pure Mn oxides, the site preference for Mn at a given valence will be reflected by the energy difference between the chemically substituted compounds with and without tetrahedral Mn. The use of simple structures such as ps-(LiMn)tet-(Li51/63)oct08 with tetrahedral Mn instead of large supercells with tetrahedral Mn defects, like those used in section 4, greatly reduces the calculation time.
