Abstract We describe the possibilities of formation and preparation of the “natural” 1,3-benzodioxolecarboxylic acids 1, 2, 4, 6 b, and 7, already mentioned in literature. Myristic acid (3e) was prepared in good yield from 3-methoxy-4,5-dihydroxy-benzoic acid ester (3c) , which could be easily made from 3-methoxy-2,3-carbonyldioxy-benzoic acid methylester (3b). Myristicic acid methylester (3d) could be subjected to methylation and hydrolysis leading to 3e without any difficulties. 4.6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxylic acid (5b) was prepared in good yields by oxidation of 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-5-aldehyde (5a). 5.7-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-carboxylic acid (13f), one of the “unnatural” 1,3-benzodioxolecarboxylic acids, derivatives of o-ipiperonylic acid (8), was prepared from 5-amino-7-methoxy-1,3- benzodioxole-4carboxylic acid methyl ester (13b) by diazotisation, elimination of nitrogen, methylation, and hydrolysis. A comparison of our measured pkA-values showed the strongest acidity belonging to 5,6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carbocylic acid (11).

A new organic charge-transfer complex, C18H7N5O8·C6H4S4, has been prepared using TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) as a donor (D) and MeDC2TNF (9-dicyanomethylene-4,5,7-trinitro-fluorene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester) as an acceptor (A). Two monoclinic polymorphs of the 1:1 salt were crystallized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Form α crystallizes in space group P21/n with Z′ = 1, while form β crystallizes in space group C2/c with Z′ = 1\over 2 and the MeDC2TNF moiety disordered across a twofold axis. Both phases have mixed-stack crystal packings, which are characteristic of semiconducting one-dimensional organic complexes. However, the observed crystal packings are significantly different, with a single D...A interlayer separation of 3.452 Å for the disordered β polymorph and interlayer separations of 3.378 and 3.483 Å in the case of the ordered α form. These variations are reflected in the degree of charge transfer, δ, which was estimated on the basis of the b 2u stretching-mode frequency shift observed in the IR spectra for the cyano groups of the MeDC2TNF radical anion. The fact that the charge transfer is more efficient for α-(TTF-MeDC2TNF) than for β-(TTF-MeDC2TNF) (δ = 0.35 and 0.31, respectively) is consistent with the structural features observed for each crystalline form.
