The Green-Rowe oxidation of 2-nitroanilines with alkaline hypochlorite, to yield benzofuroxans, is demonstrated by studies of the visible spectra of transient intermediates to proceed through N-chlorination and a singlet nitrene. Two variations on the route to the nitrene are possible. The cyclization step is represented as an internal capture of the nitrene by the ortho substituent, and on this basis the Green-Rowe oxidative cyclization is now extended to anilines whose ortho substituent is benzoyl or phenylazo. It is not however successful for ortho phenyl. Azo compounds were observed as byproducts in some of these reactions, and are shown to arise via N,N-dichloroanilines.

A comparison has been made of the types of ortho substituents which can be incorporated into a new heterocyclic ring by pyrolysis of aryl azides or during oxidation of anilines with phenyliodoso acetate. The results enable a new mechanism to be proposed for the amine oxidation. In its key step, the ortho substituent displaces iodobenzene from an intermediate iodoso ester to form the cyclic oxidation product. A competing reaction path involves homolysis of this iodoso ester to yield the free-radical precursors of azo compounds.

Lead(IV) tetraacetate has been used to oxidize 1-aminoanthraquinone, 1-arylazonaphthalen-2-amines and benzenamines whose ortho-substitutents were arylazo, nitro, or benzopl. Only the amines with ortho-arylazo substituents underwent oxidative cyclization, to yield triazoles; the others yielded azo compounds and polymers. Experimental evidence shows that neither nitrenes nor arenamino ('anilenium') cations can be the reactive intermediates in some of these reactions. All the results can be rationalized in terms of the conjugate acid-base pair of intermediates, arenamine cation ArNH2+' and arenamino ArNH.

For the oxidative cyclization of 2,4-dinitroaniline and 2- benzoylaniline with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in toluene solution, the kinetic orders are unity in amine and oxidant, zero in iodobenzene and cyclic product, and -1 in monomeric acetic acid. These characteristic orders are also those observed for 2-nitroaniline and, together with evidence for a specific solvation effect by acetic acid on the reaction rates of all three amines, indicate that a common mechanism of oxidative cyclization applies to a range of ortho-substituted anilines. For 2-benzoylaniline, there is infrared evidence of an N-H bond in an iodoso intermediate. ��� Equilibrium constants for the monomer ↔ dimer equilibrium of acetic acid in toluene solution have been determined at four temperatures between 25� and 46�.

The rates of oxidative cyclization of 11 ortho-substituted anilines by (diacetoxyiodo)benzene have been measured in toluene-acetic acid solution. The activation parameters give a precise fit to an isokinetic relationship, which indicates that a common reaction mechanism is followed. This mechanism applies to amines from the benzene, naphthalene, and anthraquinone families, with nitro and various carbonyl and arylazo groups as the ortho substituents.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of deuterochloroform solutions of a number of ortho-substituted anilines and their S-acyl derivatives have been measured. Variations in the acylation shifts of the ring protons are explained in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide proton and the ortho-substituent. Calculations of the contribution made to the acylation shifts by the anisotropy of the amide group were found to be too sensitive to the molecular geometry to be of any real value. Acylation shifts for a series of 4'-substituted 2'-nitroacetanilides correlate well with the σp values of the 4'-substituents.

Quantum-chemical calculations using density functional theory were carried out to investigate the mechanism of the oxidative cyclization of 1,5- and 1,6-dienes with ruthenium tetroxide. Current experimental results show different selectivities for the formation of tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran derivatives. Our theoretical data correctly reproduce the experimental selectivities. Transition structures for the first [3+2]-cycloaddition of RuO4 with ethene and for the second [3+2]- cycloaddition with two ethene molecules, 1,5-hexadiene, and 1,6-heptadiene were calculated. For the formation of tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran derivatives we observed two reaction pathways. The transition structure for the formation of cis-tetrahydrofuran derivatives was found to be more stable than the trans-tetrahydrofuran-forming transition structure by about 40 kJ mol−1. By comparison to the reaction with two ethene molecules it was shown that the linking alkyl chain causes the energy gap between stereoisomers by a directing influence. In the tetrahydropyran reaction the transtetrahydropyran- forming transition structure was less than 4 kJ mol−1 more stable than the transition structure leading to the cis-tetrahydropyran. The obtained geometries showed that for tetrahydropyrans the energy gap between stereoisomers is not caused by the linking alkyl chain.

In this paper , preparation and characterization of some tetra azo compounds .Azo coupling of 3`,3,4`,4- tetra amino biphenyl with phenol and some phenol derivatives in alkaline solution gave azo dyes. I.R and U.V. visible spectra were recorded to identify the three azo compounds prepared . Some physical and chemical properties such as molar absorption coefficient in different pH value and maximum absorption λ maxwere investigated. The biological effect of these dye against two gram positive Bacteria (S.aureuse) and other two gram negative Bacteria (P.aeruginosa) is presented .

The concentration and temperature-independent splitting of the first overtone NH2 symmetric stretching band in 31 ortho-substituted anilines in which intramolecular hydrogen bonding is possible is interpreted in terms of a double-minimum potential for the hydrogen bonded proton. The intensity ratio of the doublet and the extent of the splitting is related to the basicity of the ortho-substituent, modified by the rigid geometrical restrictions of the intramolecular system. The absence of band splitting in the corresponding fundamental mode suggests that the secondary minimum lies in the vicinity of the v = 2 vibrational level. The antisymmetric mode appears to be less sensitive to perturbations.Deuteration studies, the spectra of some o-substituted N-methyl anilines, and the first over-tone bands of N-methyl aniline in very basic solvents support these views.
