Reaction of phenanthrene (1) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene solution gives the dimeric nitro nitrate (3), trans and cis nitro nitrates (7) and (8), and 9-nitro- (4), 3-nitro- (5) and 1-nitro-phenanthrene (6). The X-ray crystal structure of the trans nitro nitrate (7) is reported. The effect of the phenanthrene (1) concentration on product yields is reported. Gas-liquid chromatography results for the nitro nitrates (3) and (7) point to difficulties in using this technique for product analyses in reactions of phenanthrene (1) with nitrogen dioxide.

Reaction of 4-methyl-2,6-diphenylphenol (11a) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene solution gives the polysubstituted cyclohex-2-enones (14), (15), (16), (17) and (18) via the 4-nitro dienone (13). The reversibility of the 4-nitro dienone (13)/4-hydroxy dienone (19) conversion under these reaction conditions is demonstrated. Reaction of 4-nitro-2,6-diphenylphenol (11b) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene solution gives the C2-epimeric 2,6-dihydroxy-4,5-dinitrocyclohex-3- enones (32) and (33) via the 6-nitro-6-phenyl dienone (12b). X-ray crystal structure analyses are reported for compounds (14), (15), (16), (17), (18) and (33).

Nitration of the bromophenols (4a) and (5a) give products of nitro-debromination . Reaction of 6-methyl-4-nitro-2-phenylphenol (5c) with nitrogen dioxide gives 2-hydroxy-2-phenylcyclohex-3-enones (8) and (9), and probably stereoisomers (10), (20), (21) and (22). The mode of ormation of these compounds is discussed. X-ray crystal structure determinations are reported for compounds (8) and (9).

The X-ray crystal structure determination of 4-t-butyl-r-2-(4'-t-butyl-2',6'-dimethylphenoxy)-t-6- hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-t-5-nitrocyclohex-3-enone (3) is reported. This compound is formed by reaction of 4-t-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenol(1) with nitrogen dioxide (1 mol) in benzene, followed by removal of the benzene under reduced pressure.

Photolysis of the phenanthrene/tetranitromethane charge-transfer complex yields the triad of phenanthrene radical cation, nitrogen dioxide, and trinitromethanide ion. Recombination of this triad in dichloromethane at 20° gives 9-nitrophenanthrene (1), trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl nitrate (2a), trans-9-nitro-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (2b), and trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol (2c). Adduct formation is partially suppressed when trifluoroacetic acid (0.7 M) is added to the dichloromethane solvent at 20°, the major product identified being 9-nitrophenanthrene (1). At -20° in dichloromethane, or in acetonitrile at 20°, 10'-nitro-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-9,9'-biphenanthren-10-yl nitrate (3) is formed, apparently by reaction of nitrogen dioxide with phenanthrene. X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for adducts (2a,b).

X-ray crystal structures are reported for two symmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones: a meso diastereomer of 3,5-dibromo–2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptan-4-one, and a rac isomer of 4,6-dibromo–2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8-octamethylnonan-5-one. Using these secure assignments and a previously confirmed structure for the diastereomers of 2,4-dibromopentan-3-one, we show in this study that gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) retention times (meso > rac) can be used to confidently assign the diastereomers for a range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones. 1H NMR chemical shifts for the >CHBr hydrogen(s) can also be corroboratively used for assignment purposes (δracH > δmesoH).Key words: α,α'-dibromo ketones, X-ray crystal structures, GLC retention times, isomer assignment

Abstract Methylbismuth-bis(diethyldithiocarbamate), X-ray The crystal structure of the title compound, recrystallized from ethanol, was solved by means of X-ray diffraction methods and could be refined to an i?-value of 0.050 with 2126 reflections observed. In contrast to its behaviour in benzene solution, where the compound is monomeric, in the crystalline state dimeric units are formed by intermolecular Bi-S-interactions. The bismuth atoms are coordinated in form of a slightly distorted pentagonal pyramid with the free electron pair presumably directed opposite the apical C-atom.

Using the published method of Wiedenbruch, bis(pentafluorophenyl)zinc, 1, was prepared from anhydrous ZnCl2 and 2 equiv. of LiC6F5 in diethyl ether. Base-free 1 was obtained in 60-65% yield by repeated distillation of the initially formed bis(diethyl) ether adduct of 1. The X-ray quality crystals of 1 were obtained from benzene solution. The molecular structure of 1 revealed a near linear geometry for the two-coordinate zinc center (C(1)-Zn-C(7) = 172.6(2)°), typical of monomeric ZnR2 derivatives. In the crystal structure, stacking interactions between C6F5 rings on adjacent molecules is a dominant motif, with ring centroid to ring centroid distances of 3.503 and 3.563 Å observed. A weak intermolecular C-F ...Zn interaction between F(2) and an adjacent zinc center, as judged by the close contact of 2.849(2) Å, also appears to be an important aspect of the crystal structure. Compound 1 is an effective but nonselective C6F5 transfer agent to BCl3; 1: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 11.902(2) Å, b = 7.732(2) Å, c = 13.735(2) Å, β = 110.58(1)°, V = 1183.4(4) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.048, Rw = 0.069.Key words: organozinc complex, pentafluorophenyl transfer agent.

AbstractThe title compound, Cl2PN2CCl, has been synthesized by the reaction of PCl5 with Me3Si -N = C = N - SiMe3 (Me - CH3) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The colourless com pound is trimericin benzene solution and in the solid state and has a structure with a highly puckered 12-membered P3N6C3-ring skeleton of low symmetry. The X-ray structure determination shows a monoclinic space group P 21/a with 4 trimeric units per cell.

Nitrations of phenols (3a), (3b), (7) and (8) with nitrogen dioxide in cyclohexane give similar patterns of reaction to those with fuming nitric acid in acetic acid. Nitration of 2,4-dibromo-3,5,6-trimethyl- phenol (19) with nitrogen dioxide gives isomeric trinitrocyclohex-3-enones (24), while fuming nitric acid reactions yield either the trinitro ketone (24a) and the cis-dinitro ketone (25) or the C2-epimeric ketones (25) and (26) depending upon the reaction conditions. Some reactions of these products are described, and the X-ray crystal structure of the epoxycyclopentene derivative (30) is reported.

The 2-pyrrolidino-1,3-dienes (E)-5 and (Z)-5 are obtained by the reaction of lithium di(tertbutyl) cuprate with propyne iminium salt 3. Quantitative Z→E isomerization of 5 takes place within 4 hours at 20 °C. In benzene solution, (E)-5 slowly equilibrates with a [1,5]-H shift to form the 1-amino-1,3-diene derivative 6. In concentrated chloroform solution, however, (E)-5 is transformed into the 3-pyrrolidino-bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-diene 7 which is identified by X-ray crystal structure analysis. A mechanism for this transformation is proposed.
