The intumescent process of sodium (substituted) phenolates has been studied. The generation of hydrogen radical via a homolytic cleavage of the Ar–H bond and the subsequent hydroarylation of phenolates to cyclohexadienes along with cyclization and elimination reactions of cyclohexadienes are critical steps in the base promoted intumescence of phenols. The substituents show great influence on the intumescence of phenolates. Phenolates substituted with a weak electron donating group enable intumescence while those with an electron withdrawing group or strong electron donating group suppresses intumescence. This distinction can be justified by both electronic and steric effects of substituents on the generation of hydrogen radical and the degree of hydroarylation.

Boron trimethyl reacts with each of the organometalloid-hydrazine derivatives Me2NN(R)GeMe3 (R = H, Me, SiMe3) except Me2NN(SiMe3)GeMe3, and with Me2NNHSiMe3, forming 1:1 adducts. With Me2NN(SiMe3)GeMe3 and BMe3, no adduct was formed even at low temperatures. On the basis of p.m.r. spectra, the metalloid-substituted nitrogen atom rather than the terminal nitrogen, is indicated as the basic center at which adduct formation occurs. With BF3, the Si—N and Ge—N bonds of the hydrazine derivatives were cleaved, again indicating attack at the central nitrogen atom. In a series of experiments involving CY2 (Y = O, S) and Me2NN(R)MMe3 (R = H, Me, SiMe3; M = Si, Ge), reaction occurred readily for R = H, but less readily for R = Me and for the compound Me2NN(GeMe3)2, while no reaction was observed for the compounds Me2NN(SiMe3)2 and Me2NN(SiMe3)GeMe3, even when heat or basic catalysts were employed. Reaction products, carbamate and thiocarbamate derivatives, Me2NN(R)C(Y)YMMe3, were characterized on the basis molecular weight, i.r., p.m.r., and mass spectroscopy, and m.p. data. Ease of formation is discussed in terms of electronic and steric effects.

Four naphthopyran derivatives, namely, 3,3-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C33H22O, NP1, 3,3-bis([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C37H26O, NP2, 3,3-bis(4-phenoxyphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C37H26O2, NP3, and 3,3-bis(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C29H26O3, NP4, were synthesized and their photochromic properties investigated. NP1–NP4 exhibited good photochromism in different solutions and in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film under UV light irradiation. Solvatochromism and the electronic and steric effects of the substituent group on photochromism were analyzed and decolouration curves were found to fit a monoexponential kinetic decay in most cases. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of NP1 and NP2 revealed the structure–property relationships. Good fatigue resistance of NP1, both in solution and in the PMMA film, endows it with potential value for applications.
