Contrasting behaviour is observed when 2- and 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine interact with methoxide ion in dimethyl sulphoxide. The 4-methoxy compound affords both methine and acetal sigma complexes, the latter being thermodynamically more stable. The interconversion is catalysed by methanol. Labelling experiments have established that the sigma complex from the 2-methoxypyridine is formed by addition at C6; no conversion into the acetal could be effected. These observations are rationalized in terms of differential steric and solvation effects. Demethylation and rearrangement reactions of 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine are reported.

Reaction of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan with methoxide ion in methanolic dimethyl sulphoxide solution gives rise to 7-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzofurazan (as the anion) and 7-methoxy-4-nitrobenzofurazan (as the methoxide C-7 adduct); the proposed reaction mechanism invokes the formation of several transient intermediates. The results bear on the postulated mechanism for the antileukemic activity of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan.

Methoxide Ion

The sigma complexes formed from the reaction of methoxide ion with 6- nitro-pyrimidine and its monomethoxy derivatives have been examined spectroscopically. Structural ambiguities resulting from the lower symmetry of the nitropyrimidines compared with the trinitrobenzenes have been resolved by selective deuteration. Comparison is made with sigma complex formation from 2,4,6-trinitroanisole and the question of kinetic against thermodynamic control is considered with reference to theoretically derived P.E.-reaction coordinate profiles for protic solvents. The calculations are extended qualitatively to consider reactions in an aprotic solvent.

Characteristic Manner

Reaction of the 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) – methoxide ion adduct 1 with a series of substituted arylamines in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution yields new 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene – aromatic amine σ-complexes (2). The parent TNB–anilide complex is also obtained in the reaction of TNB with potassium anilide in DMSO. Identification of the complexes is effected by n.m.r. and visible spectroscopy. The n.m.r. parameters of the complexes are influenced in characteristic manner by substituents in the aryl-amine moiety. An analysis of electronic and structural factors in these systems is given, with emphasis on the following aspects: structural implications of NH–Hβ′ coupling; aromatic protons on the arylamine moiety; amino protons in free and complexed arylamines.
