Synthesis And Characterization Of Some Dioxane Complexes, James Donald Satterlee

All Master's Theses

The boron trifluoride, tin (IV) fluoride and titanium (IV) fluoride complexes with 1,4-dioxane have been prepared and studied using infrared techniques. The compositions of the complexes have been determined and correspond to the 1:1 adducts in the case of the tin and titanium compounds. The boron trifluoride adduct is a 2:1 (acid:base) adduct. Infrared spectra in the region 1300 cm.-1 to 550 cm.-1 are given and the effects of coordination upon the ligand vibrations are described.

I. Studies Toward The Synthesis Of Echinodithianic Acid And Ii. The Temperature Dependent Nmr Spectrum Of Methyl N-Acetylsarcosinate, Alan Leroy Love

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Approaches to the preparation of echinodithianic acid (5) from 2,5-dicarbomethoxy-1,4-dithiane (1) were not successful, due to the inability to carboxylate or carboalkoxylate 1 at carbons 2 and 5. Studies toward the synthesis of 5 utilizing methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (8) have been investigated. The electrophilic addition of sulfur dichloride to 8 yielded bis-(2-acetamido-2-carbo-methoxyvin-1-yl) sulfide, while the addition of thiocyanogen chloride to 8 produced methyl 2-acetamido-3-thiocyanato-acrylate.

As electrophilic additions of unsymmetrical dipolar reagents to methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (8) are not reported in the literature, the addition of hydrogen bromide to 8 was studied to determine the orientation effect of the acetamido group.
