The kinetics of cyclization of substituted phenyl N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)carbamates and their N-methyl analogs, prepared by the reaction of 2-(aminomethyl)phenols with substituted phenyl chloroformates, was studied in dioxane or toluene at the temperatures 110-180 °C. Electron-withdrawing substituents in the leaving phenoxy group strongly accelerate the rate of cyclization (ρ = 2.45 ± 0.15) while the substituents in the other ring have virtually no effect. The cyclization was catalyzed with triethylamine in toluene but not in dioxane. On the basis of these results, the most convenient method for preparation of substituted 4H-1,3-benzoxazin-2(3H)-ones was a one-hour reflux of substituted 4-nitrophenyl N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)carbamates in dioxane. Based on the influence of substituents, solvents (dioxane and toluene) and triethylamine, the reaction mechanism and structure of the transition state were proposed.

Solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions has been studied in binary mixtures with dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and water, and in ternary mixtures of the organic solvents with water. The CNDO/2 quantum chemical method was used to calculate the energies of solvation, molecular structures and charge distributions for the complexes acetonitrile...ion (1:1, 2:1, 4:1), dimethyl sulphoxide...ion (1:1), dimethylformamide...ion (1:1), and acetonitrile (dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide)...ion...water (1:1:1).

Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

The course of chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (I) in water and approximately 20% sulfuric and hydrochloric acids has been investigated. In all these media the reaction gives primarily 2,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,4-cyclohexadienone (II) which is subsequently chlorinated under formation of polychlorinated alicyclic ketones or isomerized to give the more stable 2,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,5-cyclohexadienone (III), the precursor of further arising chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones. The ratio of the arising polychlorinated alicyclic ketones to chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones is significantly influenced by concentration of hydrogen chloride in the reaction medium. On the basis of model experiments, the reaction mechanism of exhaustive chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol has been suggested.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been measured of six trans-azobenzenes substituted at 2 and 2’ positions with substituents favourable for complex formation with a metal (OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, COOH). From the standpoint of NMR such substituted trans-azobenzenes are present in solution in a rapid equilibrium following from rotation around the bond between C-1 of phenyl group and N atom of azo linkage. The predominant form has the substituent in the syn-position with respect to the free electron pair of the nearer azo nitrogen atom. The equilibrium is affected by dipolar aprotic solvents (such as hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide) by decreasing the presence of the predominant form by 1 to 11%.
