,5-Dimethyl-3-D-furan was prepared for the first time. Its recyclization into the corresponding thiophene and selenophene was investigated. The possibility of f3-C-protonation of the furan ring was confirmed by experimental and quantum chemical data.Many studies have been dedicated to answering the question of the. direction of protonation of furans in the reaction of acid hydrolysis, c~-C-Protonation of the furan ring was selected apriori by analogy with reactions of electrophilic substitution in [2]. Finnish researchers believe that hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethyl-and 2-methoxyfurans begins with/3-C-protonation of the ring [3, 4]. However, it was suggested in [5] that this hypothesis was based on incorrect determination of the structure of the products of hydrolysis of 2-methoxyfuran. The furan ions formed in the gas phase in conditions of mass spectrometry with chemical ionization (reagent gases: isobutane and methane) are described as products of t~-C-protonation in [6]. Stable furanium ions were obtained from tert-butylfurans in the liquid phase, and 2,5-dimethylfuran was completely resinified in the same conditions in [7].Acid-catalyzed isotope exchange is widely used for assessing the reactivity of heterocycles. In studying the rate of deuterium exchange of benzene, furan, thiophene, selenophene, and pyrrol, protonation of the/3-carbon atom of the furan ring was found. Only the mobility of the ~-H atoms could be measured in the deuterium exchange reaction, since hydrolytic splitting of the furan ring was simultaneously observed in the region of concentrations of H2SO 4 greater than 30 wt. %, where exchange of protons in/3 positions takes place with a sufficient rate [8].We continued the study of the mechanism of the reaction of recyclization of furans into thiophenes and selenophenes in conditions of acid catalysis. We investigated the possibility of/~-C-protonation as the ftrst stage of recyclization. 2,5-Dimethyl-3-D-furan (Ia) was investigated. Incorporation of a label in position 3 of 2,5-dimethylfuran (I) was conducted similar to the method described in [9] via mercury chloride (II) according to the following scheme:Recyclization of compound Ia into 2,5-dimethylthiophene (III) and 2,5-dimethylselenophene (IV) was conducted with hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen selenide in absolute ethanol saturated with dry hydrogen chloride, similar to the method described in [10]. The evolution of the reaction was monitored with the GLC data, and after incorporation and preservation of the label, it was monitored by PMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
Fibers of cellulose diacetate (CDA) and chitosan (CTS) of polycationic and polybasic forms were tested as matrices for solid-surface fluorescence (SSF) of several fluorescent probes—eosin Y, trypaflavine, and pyrene. The morphology and surface potential of these matrices were examined. The influence of structural and energetic characteristics of the fibrous polysaccharide materials at SSF of the probes was shown. Fluorescence was studied in aqueous solutions of eosin Y and trypaflavine, in water-ethanolic and water-micellar surfactant media of pyrene, before and after dynamic sorption of the dyes on fibers and in the adsorbed state. The surface of CDA fiber was shown to be capable of sorbing trypaflavine from water and pyrene from water-micellar surfactant media of various types, so it can be a promising matrix for SSF of pyrene and trypaflavine and their chemical analogs. The Coulomb interactions were proposed to determine eosin Y and trypaflavine concentration on the surface of CTS matrices and the SSF of these probes. The CTS fibers were permeable to hydrophobic pyrene dissolved in an ethanol-water medium or solubilized in the micelles of ionic surfactants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
