- Reactivity of 13,13-dibromo-2,4,9,11-tetraoxadispiro[5.0.5.1]tridecane toward organolithiums: Remarkable resistance to the DMS rearrangement
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Reactions of dibromocyclopropane 2a, containing two spiro-fused 1,3-dioxane rings, with MeLi gave only the methylation products 8 and 9 even at elevated temperatures. In contrast, the cyclohexane analogue 2b treated with MeLi underwent a smooth rearrangement to bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 11b at -78, -10, or +35 °C. Treatment of 2a with PhLi gave the α-Ph anion 13 as the only product, which underwent smooth methylation with MeI to give 14. Under the same conditions, 2b with PhLi gave bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 11b accompanied by bromophenyl derivative 8b. Treatment of either dibromide with f-BuLi gave a mixture of products including debrominated cyclopropanes 12. Experimental results were augmented with DFT calculations for salts 23 and MP2//DFT-level calculations for carbenes 22. They demonstrated a higher stability of the dioxane α-bromo anion with respect to α-elimination by 4.8 kcal/mol and also a lower tendency of the carbene 22a to undergo rearrangement by 4.0 kcal/mol than the cyclohexane analogues. These differences have been attributed to the inductive effect of the four oxygen atoms, which results in lower LUMO energy, the higher positive charge at the carbenic center, and the overall more electrophilic character of carbene 22a as compared to the cyclohexane derivative 22b. The rearrangement of carbenes 22 to the corresponding allenes 1, the thermodynamic products, requires a higher activation energy ΔG?298 by 4.2 kcal/mol for dioxane and 6.4 kcal/mol for cyclohexane derivatives than for the formation of the bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes 11. The ΔG?;298 for intramolecular insertions to the C-H bond is low and calculated as 6.0 kcal/mol for dioxane 22a and 2.0 kcal/mol for the formation of cyclohexane 22b.

- Mild, rinse-off antimicrobial liquid cleansing compositions which provide residual benefit versus gram negative bacteria
-
The present invention relates to a rinse-off antimicrobial cleansing composition comprising from about 0.001% to about 5% of an antimicrobial active, from about 1% to about 80% of an anionic surfactant, from about 0.1% to about 12% of a proton donating agent; and from about 3% to about 98.899% of water, wherein the composition is adjusted to a pH of from about 3.0 to about 6.0, wherein the rinse-off antimicrobial cleansing composition has a Gram Negative Residual Effectiveness Index of greater than about 0.3, and wherein the rinse-off antimicrobial cleansing composition has a Mildness Index of greater than 0.3. The invention also encompasses methods for cleansing skin and providing residual effectiveness versus Gram negative bacteria using these products.

- Process for the preparation of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane
-
Unpurified 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol is used as the starting material for a process for the preparation of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane from 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol without the use of an organic solvent on an industrial scale. This is carried out in such a way that in a first stage a mixture of bromine and aqueous hydrogen bromide solution is cooled and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or an alkaline-earth metal salt of 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol is added at such a rate that, with cooling, the maximum reaction temperature does not exceed 30° C., and then in a second reaction stage paraformaldehyde and sulfuric acid are added, left to react above room temperature, and the organic phase separated.

- REACTION OF 5-BROMO-5-NITRO-1,3-DIOXANE WITH THE LITHIUM SALTS OF 5-NITRO-1,3-DIOXANE AND 2-NITROPROPANE
-
5-Nitro-5-(5-nitro-1,3-dioxa-5-cyclohexyl)-1,3-dioxane and 5-(1,3-dioxa-5-cyclohexylidene)-1,3-dioxane are formed and lithium bromide and nitrite are released in the reaction of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane with the lithium salt of 5-nitro-1,3-dioxane in DMSO at 20 deg C.The selectivity of the formation of the reaction products depends on the ratio of the reagents. 5-Nitro-5-(2-nitro-1-methylethyl)-1,3-dioxane, 5-nitro-5-(5-nitro-1,3-dioxa-5-cyclohexyl)-1,3-dioxane, and 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane are formed in the reaction of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane with the lithium salt of 2-nitropropane.The reaction is accelerated by UV radiation and is retarded in the presence of the inhibitors of radical reactions.
