Research in the heterocyclic series. VII. Orientation of nitro derivatives of α-substituted thiophenes, pyrroles, and N-methylpyrroles was written by Tirouflet, Jean;Fournari, Pierre. And the article was included in Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de France in 1963.COA of Formula: C5H2N2O2S This article mentions the following:
The ratios of the isomeric mono-NO2 derivatives formed under various conditions from 2-substituted-thiophenes (I), pyrroles (II), and 1-methylpyrroles (III) were determined polarographically and found to be dependent on the nature of the α-substituent and the hetero atom. In the thiophene series, the substituent exerts a more pronounced effect than in the pyrrole series and the 1-methylpyrrole series. The N-methylation of pyrroles increases the reactivity of the β-position. The nitrations in the II and III series were performed by nitrating the appropriate heterocyclic substrate (1-4 g.) by the methods described previously (loc. cit.), pouring the mixture onto 10-50 g. ice, and then polarographing the solution (if necessary after the addition of AcOH or aqueous EtOH); the half-wave potentials were determined for the following I (2-substituent, pH, and half-wave potentials in neg. v. of the 5- and 4-NO2 derivatives given): H, 3.1, 0.30, 0.40; NO2, 3.1, 0.06, 0.13; CHO, 9.1, 0.35, 0.57 (at pH 4.2, the 5-NO2 derivative showed 2 waves at -0.16 and -0.31 v., resp., and the 4-NO2 derivative 1 at -0.34 v.); Ac, 10.2, 0.41, 0.61; CN, 3.1, 0.14, 0.29; CO2H, 4.2, 0.23, 0.42. The same delta were determined for the following II (same data given): H, 3.1, 0.54, 0.67; NO2, 2, 0.07, 0.18; CHO, 2, 0.15, 0.50; Ac, 3.1, 0.24, 0.51; CN, 3.1, 0.14, 0.29; CO2H, 3.1, 0.31, 0.60. The same data were determined for the following III (same data given): H, 5.4, 0.59, 0.68; NO2, 3.1, 0.08, 0.25; CHO, 10.2, 0.55, 0.76; Ac, 10.2, 0.60, 0.80; CN, 5.2, 0.37, 0.53; CO2H, 3.1, 0.25, 0.52. The % content of the 4-NO2 derivatives (IV) in the nitration products of the following I was determined polarographically (2-substituent and % IV given): H 5, NO2 80, CHO 75, Ac 52, CN 43, CO2H 31, CH(OAe)2 14. The % content of the IV from the following II was determined (same data given): H 9, NO2 67, CHO 59, Ac 57, CN 42, CO2H, 55. The % content of the IV from the following III was deed. (same data given): II 43, NO2 70, CHO 80, Ac 68, CN 65, CO2H 68. The effect of various reaction media on the composition of the product was determined in a series of runs with I. 2-Thiophenecarboxaldehyde with HNO3H2SO4 (free CHO group) yielded preferentially the 4-NO2 derivative, while nitration in Ac2O [CHO group present as CH(OAc)2] favored the formation of the 5-NO2 derivative In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Nitrothiophene-2-carbonitrile (cas: 42137-24-6COA of Formula: C5H2N2O2S).
4-Nitrothiophene-2-carbonitrile (cas: 42137-24-6) belongs to nitriles. There has been no report on the microbial biosynthesis of nitriles and the physiological function of such enzymes, nor was it not even known whether aliphatic and aromatic nitriles are biological compounds or just petrochemicals. Nitriles are susceptible to hydrogenation over diverse metal catalysts. The reaction can afford either the primary amine (RCH2NH2) or the tertiary amine ((RCH2)3N), depending on conditions.COA of Formula: C5H2N2O2S
