Dérivés C-glycosyliques. VII. Synthèse et réactions de nitrones dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The syntheses of three types of sugar nitrones (aldonitrone, ketonitrone and α-β unsaturated aldonitrone) are described. On 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, the aldonitrone gave two Δ₄-isoxazolines epimeric at the new asymetric carbon, while the same reaction on the ketonitrone led to a spiro-Δ₄-isoxazoline. The reaction of these nitrones with carbon nucleophiles like phenylethynylmagnesium bromide constitutes a novel chain-extension reaction in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Pipérazinediones-2,5. 2. Les acides dioxothiazolidino pipérazine carboxyliques et leurs dérivés désulfurés

We have recently described a new synthetic route which has been used in our laboratory for the preparation of several novel heterocyclic systems comprising, the I,l-dimethylthiazolidino[3,4-o)piperazine-5,8- dione-3-carboxylic acid and the 2,2-dimethylthiazolidino[3,2-a]piper- azine-5,8-dione-3-carboxylic acid (8). The former was obtained with quan- titative yield and the latter with 71% yield. As a development of our studies on novel 2,5-piperazinedione systems, we describe in this report, the synthesis of the (2,5-dioxopiperazinyl)2-isobutyric acid (9), then-butyl(2-isopropyl)3,6-dioxopiperazinyl-l) acetate (1 l), and another synthetic route, illustrated in Scheme I, by which the compound 8 was obtained with quantitative yield. Spectrometric data were obtained and their interpretation confirms the proposed structure of the new compounds.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXII. Synthèse de dérivés spiro-C-glycosylidéniques par cyclisation nucléophile. Communication préliminaire

C -Glycosylic derivatives XXXII. Synthesis of spiro-C -glycosylidenic derivatives via nucleophilic cyclization. On treatment with compounds bearing two nucleophilic groups as ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine or their monooxa or monothia analogues, 1,2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofuranos-3-ulose gave with excellent yields the corresponding spiro-C-glycosylidenic derivative; for example, when using o-phenylenediamine, a spirobenzimidazoline ( 5 ) was obtained. The latter compound underwent, on oxidation, a ring expansion to a morpholinobenzimidazole ( 8 ). Spirobenzodiazepines, spirobenzooxazepines and spirobenzothiazepines were formed when applying the same type of cyclization reaction to 3-C-acetylmethylene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo- and α-D -xylo-hexofuranoses.     

Hétérocyclisations intramoléculaires par réaction d'oxymercuration III. Régiosélectivité et stéréosélectivité de l'oxymercuration intramoléculaire de phénols orthoallyliques

The intramolecular heterocylization of ortho-allylic phenols by oxymercuration has been realized with compounds having different substituents on the allylic chain. In all cases, only the corresponding benzofuran is formed. However, with a substituent at the terminal carbon of the double bond, we also observed the formation of benzopyran. The influence of the solvent and the mercuric salt on the orientation of this reaction has been examined. There is evidence of a molecular rearrangement during the reduction.     

Radicaux libres dérivés de sucres. V. Dérivés d'osamines N-hydroxylées et composés voisins Communication préliminaire

Free sugar radicals. V. Deoxyhydroxylaminosugar derivatives and related compounds We describe several synthetic routes to deoxyhydroxylaminosugar derivatives of the type Glyc-N(OH)-R where Glyc stands for a sugar moiety linked by any of its C-atoms except the anomeric one and R for one of the following substituants: H-atom, acyl, phosphoryl groups, aminoacid or sugar residues. Compounds of the above structure are potentially close analogs, homoisosteres, ? NOH? replacing ? O? , of biochemically important molecules. Under aerobic conditions, solutions of these derivatives contain minute concentrations of the corresponding nitroxide radicals which do not decrease significantly the resolution of the NMR. spectra but render these compounds usable as a new kind of spin labels. Spectroscopic properties (¹H-NMR., ¹³C-NMR., ESR.) of some of these compounds are reported.     

Dérivés diglycosyliques. Communication préliminaire

Diglycosyl Derivatives. Preliminary communication Novel types of diglycosyl compounds, some of them bearing a resemblance to natural di- or tri-saccharides are described: a diglycosyldiyne ( 1 ), a diglycosylthiophene ( 2 ), a diglycosylaziridine ( 3 ), a diglycosyldioxolane ( 4 ), as well as six C,N-diglycosylnitrones, 9b–9f and 14 . These C,N-diglycosylnitrones, on treatment with an acetylenic Grignard reagent, led to the expected acetylenic diglycosyl-hydroxylamine 11 , whereas diglycosylisoxazolines (f. ex. 10 ) were obtained when these nitrones underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to acetylenic compounds.     

Dérivés de l'hydroxyméthyl-5 furfural. I. Synthése de dérivés du di- et terfuranne

Addition of α, β-unsaturated sulfones or ketones to 5-hydroxmethyl-furaldehyde or related furanaldehydes in the presence of a thiazolium salt gives di or tetraketonic furan compounds. Dehydrative cyclizationled to di- and terfuryl derivatives.     

Enaminosucres et sucres halogénoacétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Enamino- and Halogenoacetylenic sugars Traitment of an aldehydosugar ( 1 ) with secondary amines gave in an essentially quantitative yield the expected enamines ( 4–6 ). Chloro- and bromo-acetylenic sugars ( 11–14 ) were obtained in good yields by reacting with lithium methylphenylamide the corresponding gem-dihalo-olefinic sugars ( 7–10 ), whereas a Z-gem-fluoro-enamine ( 17 ) was formed when the difluoro-olefinic sugar 15 was submitted to the same reaction. The fluoro-enamine 17 is a useful synthetic intermediate allowing the preparation of several kinds of C-glycosylic compounds bearing heterocycles like isoxazole, chromone or coumarin.     

Diénamines hétérocycliques. III. Réexamen de la réaction de la base de Fischer avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Heterocyclic dienamines III. A re-examination of the reaction of Fischer's base on tetracyanoethylene Depending on the order of addition, Fischer's base 5 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-indoline) reacts 1:1 with tetracyanoethylene to give either the tricyanovinylation product 6 or the spiro compound 7 . A skeletal rearrangement of a zwitterionic intermediate can explain the formation of the spiro compound. The latter undergoes a thermal isomerization yielding by ring expansion the tetrahydroquinoléine 8 . On reaction with LiAlH₄ or CH₃ONa 7 and 8 lead both to triazatetracycles. All structures are assigned on the basis of spectral data.     

Sur les dérivés de la fluorénone VIII. Difluorénonyl-cétones,difluorényl-cétones et difluorényl-méthanes

By condensation of the chlorides of the four isomeric fluorenecarboxylic acids, respectively of the three 1-, 3- and 4-fluorenonecarboxylic acids with fluorene, followed by reduction of the obtained mono-respectively diketones, the four difluorenylmethanes I, II, III and IV are synthesized. The oxydation of the diketones gives the corresponding triketones. Starting from the chloride of 4-fluorenecarboxylic acid and 1-methylfluorene, a methyl derivative of IV is analogically obtained.     

Un nouvel hétérocycle telluré: le benzisotellurazole-1,2. I. Synthèse et propriétés

Two different synthetic methods for 1,2-benzisotellurazole are described. The properties of this new heterocyclic system are compared with the analogous sulfur and selenium heterocycles.     

Radicaux libres dérivés de sucres. Partie. VII. Analogues de nucléosides marqués par un spin. Communication préliminaire

Sugar Free Radicals. VIII. Spin-Labeled Nucleosides Analogs A series of 5′-deoxy-5′-hydroxylamino derivatives of adenosine and uridine have been prepared by reduction of the corresponding oxime or nitrone. ‘Second generation’ 3′-deoxy-3′-N-aryl(or N-alkyl) hydroxylamino-β-D -xylofuranosyluracils have also been synthesized by a one-pot reaction including the following elementary steps: deblocking of the starting material, reduction of the 3′-deoxy-3′-oximinouridine, condensation of the resulting hydroxylamine with an aldehyde, reduction of the nitrone formed. The deoxy-hydroxylaminonucleosides oxidized spontaneously in the air (or in presence of traces of PbO₂) to give the corresponding nitroxide free radicals, ESR spectra of which furnished useful informations on their structures. Some of these modified nucleosides bore notable cytotoxic or antiviral activities.     

Structure électronique de dérivés sulfurés : Partie V. spectres électroniques d''hétérocycles thio-carbonylés

The experimental and theoretical spectra of thiocarbonyl heterocyclic compounds with two heteroatoms in the position to the thiocarbonyl group have been studied.

The theoretical interpretation of the CNDO/S results including an extension to the third period, i.e. 3d orbitais, is in good agreement with the saturation effect as well as with the influence of the intracyclic heteroatoms on the typical absorptions of the thiocarbonyl group.

Isopropylidene derivatives of keto- or aldehydo-sugars are susceptible to rearrangements involving participation of the dioxolane ring.     

Effets stéréosélectifs dans les réactions des complexes métalliques. I. Stéréosélectivité de la réaction de l'anion D-N-(hydroxy-2-éthyl)-propylènediaminetriacétatoferrate (III) avec quelques dérivés d'acides aminés

A chromatographic method for studying small effects of ligand stereoselectivity in the formation of labile metal complexes has been developed. It is shown that unidentate ligands can react stereospecifically with labile optically active metal complexes. An anion-exchanger charged with an optically active form of Fe^III-N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-propylenediamine triacetate is used as a support in chromatography of N-acylated amino acids, and differences in retentions have been measured by elution and by frontal analysis.     

Théorie quantique du pouvoir rotatoire magnétique des molécules diamagnétiques. II. Applications

The general formalism of the variational theory of the Faraday effect established in the first part of this paper is now applied to the actual computation of the Verdet constant of the hydrogen molecule, of water and of some saturated hydrocarbons. The numerical results have a correct order of magnitude and even, for hydrogen, are rather close to the experimental value.     

Photochimie d'hétérocycles azotés. IV. Transposition de type photo-fries des N-acétyl benzimidazolones

The photolysis of benzene or alcoholic solutions of N-acetyl-and N,N-diacetylbenzimidazolones gave mixtures of ortho- and para-rearrangements products accompanied to some extent with de-N-acylation. The different products have been identified by means of nmr, mass spectrometry and unambiguous synthesis.
