Covalent Pseudohalides Editorial Current Organic Chemistry, 2011, Vol. 15, No. 11 Editorial 1669 Covalent Pseudohalides Editorial Covalent pseudohalides (Scheme 1) are versatile tools in various chemical transformations and are widely used in various fields of chemistry as building blocks for synthesizing polymers, precursors, biologically active materials, and natural products. They occur in nature and smaller derivatives have been detected in the interstellar medium. Pseudohalides have a rich chemistry with a long and fascinating history, which goes back, for some derivatives, for centuries. Not only the chemistry and structure, but the stability of pseudohalides is very varied; there are stable molecules, what are easy to handle, and also reactive and short-lived species whose applications require special means.

Covalent pseudohalides (R= substituent atom or group, covalently linked to the pseudohalide frame). The present thematic issue includes six reviews, mainly focusing on the synthesis and chemical applications of covalent pseudohalides. Structural properties and spectroscopy are also briefly discussed. The first review of the issue discusses the chemistry of covalent cyanates, including their stability, synthesis, structure, spectroscopy, and chemical applications. Experimentally known derivatives are presented, namely the parent acid and its alkyl, aryl, silyl, SF5, and SeF5 derivatives. Covalent fulminates are regarded as unstable species and their chemistry is largely unexplored yet. This review also presents the available information on the chemistry of organic fulminates. In the second review, the chemistry of organic selenocyanates is summarized, focusing on their synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and uses in preparative chemistry and biology. The synthesis of inorganic precursors is also discussed, as well as the application of organic selenocyanates in cancer therapy. Small covalent nitrile oxides are important transient species in organic synthesis and widely used for dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The third review focuses on the generation, spectroscopy, structural properties, and synthetic application of small nitrile oxides, XCNO, where the X substituent group is smaller than five atoms, viz. X = hydrogen, halogen, pseudohalogen, alkyl, vinyl, ethynyl, or nitro. The chemistry of nitrile sulfides is presented in the fourth review. The review presents a full coverage of stability, synthesis, spectroscopy, structure, and chemical applications of these unstable species. Nitrile selenides, analogously to nitrile sulfides, have the potential to become important dipolarophiles in preparative chemistry, however, their chemistry is largely unexplored yet. This review also summarizes the present knowledge about nitrile selenides. Hetero-substituted isocyanates and isothiocyanates RX-NCY (X = R2N, RO, or RS; Y = O or S) and the isomeric cyanates RX-OCN, thiocyanates RX-SCN, nitrile oxides RX-CNO, and nitrile sulfides RX-CNS are highly reactive compounds, often transient at room temperature. The chemistry of these compounds, including their generation, identification, spectroscopy, structure, and rearrangement reactions, is reviewed in the fifth contribution. The chemistry of silicon and germanium azides is presented in the sixth review. This review article mainly focuses on the synthesis and synthetic applications of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraazidosilanes and germanes, as well as their coordination complexes. The spectroscopy and structural properties of silicon and germanium azides are also briefly discussed. Prof. Tibor Pasinszki Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, Hungary E-mail: [email protected] .

  • Atmospheric Pseudohalogen Chemistry
    Atmospheric Pseudohalogen Chemistry David John Lary Accepted by: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions Reference: Vol. 4, pp 5381-5405, 16-9-2004 Hydrogen cyanide is not usually considered in atmospheric chemical models. The paper presents three reasons why hydrogen cyanide is likely to be signiscant for atmospheric chemistry. Firstly, HCN is a product and marker of biomass burning. Secondly, it is also likely that lightning is producing HCN, and as HCN is sparingly soluble it could be a usell long-lived “smoking gun” marker of lightning activity. Thirdly, the chemical decomposition of HCN leads to the production of small amounts of the cyanide (0and NCO radicals. The NCO radical can be photolyzed in the visible portion of the spectrum yielding nitrogen atoms (N). The production of nitrogen atoms is significant as it leads to the titration of total nitrogen from the atmosphere via N+N->N2, where N2 is molecular nitrogen. , 1..

There is another isomeric cyanic acid with the structure of H-N=C=O, called isocyanic acid. Cyanate group (and isocyanate group) can react with itself. Cyanuric acid (also called pyrolithic acid), white monoclinic crystal with the structure of [HOC(NCOH) 2N], is the trimer of cyanic acid. The trimer of isocyanic acid is called biuret. • Cyanic acid: H-N=C=O or H-O-C¡ÕN • Fulminic acid: (H-C=N-O) or H-C¡ÕN-O • Isocyanic acid: H-N=C=O • Cyanuric acid: HOC(NCOH) 2N • Biuret: (NH 2)CO) 2 NH Cyanic acid hydrolyses to ammonia and carbon dioxide in water.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Pharmacological Studies of Some Organic Thiocyanates
    PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES OF SOME ORGANIC THIOCYANATES YASUO YOKOI Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo and the National Hygienic Laboratory, Tokyo Received for publication October 19, 1953 Strikingly rapid toxic symptoms of organic thiocyanates were repeatedly ob served in various kinds of animals by Traubmann (1930)(1), von Oettingen et al. (1936)(2), Cameron et al. (1939)(3), Ohashi and Kimizuka (1947)(4), though not confirmed by Moriki (1936)(5). Such a violent action as above, however, can not be expected in regard to inorganic thiocyanates, such as KSCN, clinically available as a sedative or a blood pressure depressant. The SCN radical has a close similarity in its chemical property to halogens, which may be named "pseudohalogen". Then, Traubmann naturally presupposed an ethyl chloride C2H5Cl-like narcotic action as a pharmacological property of alkyl thiocyanates, i.e. methyl thiocyanate CH3SCN, ethyl thiocyanate C2H5SCN, or propyl thiocyanate C3H7SCN. But it was found that the animals poisoned either by these alkyl thiocyanates or by aromatic thiocyanates (phenyl thiocyanate C6H5SCN and aniline thiocyanate NH2C6H4SCN) caused respiratory excitement and convulsions. Thus he came to a postulation for the toxic particularity of organic thiocyanates. Von Oettingen and others noticed the following phenomena : hyperemia, hemor rhage and edema in internal organs, when animals succumbed to the acute poison ing by lower alkyl thiocyanates, respiratory excitement and a rise in blood pres sure when methyl or ethyl thiocyanate was administered subcutaneously ; appear ance of a AgNO3-consuming substance in vitro when these thiocyanates were placed for 48 hours with pieces of liver. These observations gave the impression that hydrocyanic acid might be liberated from methyl and ethyl thiocyanates in living animals.
