Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXXII [1]. Sur la différenciation entre structures δ2-amino-2 ou imino-2 dans des composés S,N-hétérocycliques pentagonaux et hexagonaux à cycle par ailleurs saturé

Comparison of the NMR. spectra in CDCl₃ of the heterocyclic bases obtained from the cyclisation of ω-(N-thiocarbamoylamino) ethyl (or propyl)-alcohols (or their orthophosphoric or sulfuric monoesters) to those of model compounds II (n = 1 or 2) and III (n = 1 or 2) has shown that: (1) In the case of five membred rings the C?N double bond is always endocyclic (Ib, n = 1) should R be aromatic, araliphatic or aliphatic; (2) In the case of six membered rings the C?S double bond is cnclocyclic when R is aliphatic or araliphatic (Ib, n = 2), and exocyclic when R is aromatic (I a, n = 2), with the exception of 2-(o-carboxyphcnylamino)-dihydro-δ²-m (Ib, n = 2, K = o-carboxyphcnyle). In CF, COOH, all five membered rings (I b, n = 1) show a triplet for the C-4 methylenic protons, whereas all the six membered rings (Ia or I b, n = 2) with the exception of I b, n = 2, R = o-carboxyphenyle, are represented b y a double triplet for the C-4 protons (samt. protonated spccics). Only one triplet is observed when the 3 position is substituted. Thiocarbamoylation of hydrazinoethanol or its orthophosphoric or sulfuric monoesters canoccur at either of the two nitrogen atoms, thus yielding upon cyclization five- (IT′) or six-membered rings (Va or Vb). The NMR spectra of compounds I V in (CIl,), SO show a singlet for 2 amino pro-tons (3-amino) and there is no further structural problem. The NMR spectra of compounds T′ in (CT), SO show a triplet for one amino proton coupling with the neighboring methylenic protons. I n this case, mode1 compounds are needed to assign the position of the C?N double bond ( e x cyclic V a or cndocyclic V b). When R = o-carboxyphenylc, the C?N double bond is probably endoc, yclic (Vb) because this ccimpound and 2-(o-carboxyphenvlarnino)-dihydro-δ² have very similar UV spectra.     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXIII Sur la préparation d'acides ω-[aryl (ou aralcoyl ou alcoyl) carbamylamino]-alcoylphosphoriques et sur leur vitesse de scission à divers pH

N-Aryl(or aralkyl or alkyl)carbamoyl-aminoalkyl phosphoric monoesters have been prepared by the reaction of isocyanates R′-N?C?O on the corresponding amino-alkylphosphoric monoesters H₂N? R? OPO₃H₂ in the presence of 2 equivalents of NaOH. The rates of scission of the phosphoric monoester group and occasionally of the phenylcarbamoylamino group of these monoesters have been studied at 100°, in solutions 0.1M in ester and at various pH.     

Chiral exo-Alkylidenecyclopentanes from (1S,4R)-7,7-Dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one

(1S,4R)-7,7-Dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one oxime in the system (CF₃CO)₂O-CF₃COOH and (1S,4R)-1-(1,2-dibromoethyl)-7,7-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one in the system MeONa-MeOH undergo fragmentation to give exo-alkylidenecyclopentane derivatives, (4R)-4-cyanomethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-[(1E)-trifluoroacetoxyethylidene]cyclopentane and isomeric (4R)-4-carboxymethyl-1-[(1ZE)-2-methoxyethylidene]-5,5-dimethylcyclopentanes, respectively. The trifluoroacetate derivative undergoes unusual rearrangement, yielding an equilibrium mixture of two isomers with endo- and exocyclic double bond.     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXV[1]. Amines,amino-alcools et aminoalcoyl-monoesters des acides orthophosphorique et sulfurique: thiocarbamylation par l'isothiocyanate d'o-méthoxycarbonylphényle sans ou avec cyclisation intramoléculaire

o-Methoxycarbonyl-phenylisothiocyanate V and primary alkylamines (R″? NH₂) reacted in the appropriate medium yield the corresponding 2-mercapto-3-alkyl-3, 4-dihydro-quinazolinone-4 derivatives VI (the ? NH₂ group is thiocarbamoylated by the ? N?C?S group and then acylated in an intramolecular reaction by the ? COOCH₃ group with elimination of CH₃OH).     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXVII. Note sur la scission des acides ω-(N-phénylthiocarbamylamino)-alcoyl-sulfuriques à divers pH

In aqueous solutions at 100°C varying from HCl 2N to NaOH 2N , N-phenylthiocarbamoyl derivatives of aminoalkylsulfuric monoesters C₆H₅NH? CS? R? OSO₃H are split in the following ways:

• (a) With R = ? CH₂? CH(CH₃)? or ? (CH₂)₃? the scission of the monoester group is very rapid in the hole pH-range studied, especially in alkaline medium; the resulting cyclic products, 5-methyl-2-phenylamino-thiazoline and 2-phenylimino-tetrahydrothiazine respectively, formed by nucleophilic attack of an unshared pair of the S atom on the C bearing the monoester group, have been isolated and identified.
• (b) With R = ? (CH₂)₄? , the rate of the scission in alkaline or neutral medium is very much higher than that of an alkylsulfuric monoester; in these media a cyclic product is also formed (this time by nucleophilic attack of the unshared pair of the thiocarbamoylated N atom on the C bearing the monoester function) which has been isolated after alcaline scission, and identified as N-phenylcarbomoyl-pyrrolidine. In acid medium, no special influence of the phenylthiocarbamoyl group is observed.
• (c) With R = ? (CH₂)₅? or ? (CH₂)₆? , the rate of the scission in alkaline medium is 30 to 1000 times lower than in the previous cases; no pure organic scission products have been isolated. In acid or neutral medium, these two esters behave like usual alkylsulfuric acids.

     

C?H and N?H bond activation in reactions of vinyl acetate,allyl cyanide,allylamine and other amines with (η-C5H5)2Rh2(CO)(CF3C2CF3)

There is activation of olefinic C? H bonds when (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) is treated with vinyl acetate or allyl cyanide. These reactions are initiated by exposure to sunlight. In the vinyl acetate reaction, each of the three vinylic C? H bonds can be broken, but there is strong preference for cleavage at the substituted carbon. The products formed in these reactions are bisalkenyl complexes of the type (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂{μ-C(CF₃)C(CF₃)H}(μ-CR?CR′R″), and all isomers have been thoroughly characterized by NMR analysis. Similar reactions with allylamine and other amines (NH₂R, NHMe₂) occur in the dark and proceed by N? H bond cleavage. Near-quantitative amounts of the products, (η-C₅H₅)Rh₂{C(CF₃)C(CF₃)H}(C(O)NRR′) are isolated. Spectroscopic data indicate a bridging carboxamide ligand attached to the Rh? Rh bond from oxygen and nitrogen donor sites. It is proposed that coordination of O or N to rhodium has a strong influence on all of the reactions studied.     

Migration of the exocyclic double bond in terpenoid coumarins of the iresane series

In terpenoid coumarins of the iresane series with an exocyclic double bond, migration of the double bond into the ring with the retention of the configuration of the substituent in position 1 is observed in an acid medium. The reaction has been performed in CF₃COOH and has been monitored by the PMR method. Badrakemin has yielded conferol, badrakemone has yielded conferone, badrakemin acetate has yielded conferol acetate, colladonin has yielded moschatol, and farnesiferol A and gummosin have yielded the corresponding isomers with endocyclic double bonds. The rate of the reaction is affected by the nature of the substituent at C-6. The presence of a keto group increases the time of isomerization to 1.5 h as compared with the 5–10 min for compounds with an OH group at C-6. The increase in the time of the reaction leads to the formation of byproducts. The reaction does not take place in CH₃COOH.     

Réactions d'addition-élmination à partir d'hétérocycles germaniés du type . III. Cas des diéthyl-2,2-germa-2-oxazolidines-1,3 (R = et; X = O; Y = NH,NMe)

Addition-elimination reactions from germanium heterocycles . III. 2,2-Diethyl-2-germa-1,-3-oxazolidines (R = Et; X = O; Y = NH, NMe) . The reactions of 2,2-diethyl-2-germa-1,3-oxazolidines with heterocumulenes (PhNCO, PhNCS, CS₂, CO₂, CH₂?C?O) and carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) are studied. Generally, monoinsertion derivatives are formed by addition of one molecule of the unsaturated compound accross the Ge? N bond. This bond is always the most reactive center of the molecule. In the case of the carbonyl compounds used, diinsertion may occur in a second step by a further addition across a Ge? O bond. Generally, this latter reaction is reversible. By thermal eliminat on of (Et₂GeO)_n or (Et₂GeS)₃ the monoaddition derivatives yield the corresponding oxazolidines and thiooxazolidines. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

Réarrangements en milieu acide trifluoroacétique de deux alcaloïdes indoliques: la desformocorymine et la dihydrocorymine

The rearrangement in trifluoroacetic acid of two indole alkaloids of the echitamine series, desformocorymine (14) and dihydrocorymine (9) , has been investigated. Desformocorymine (14) was tranformed into a mixture of carbinolamines 17a , b , with the akuammiline skeleton, which were reduced (Et₃SiH, CF₃CO₂H) into an isomer 12 of cathafoline (6). This sequence constitutes the first example of an interconversion of the corymine skeleton into the akuammiline skeleton (Scheme 2). In the case of dihydrocorymine (9) , the rearrangement followed a different pathway owing to the formation of a hemiacetal between the primary alcohol CH₂(17)-OH and a carbonyl formed at C(3). Treatment of this hemiacetal 26 with aqueous base led to its opening with concomitant formation of a lactam. ¹³C-NMR seems to indicate that this lactam exists under a hydrated form 27. This highly unstable intermediate was cleanly transformed (MeONa-MeOH) into a 2-acyl indole 30 (Scheme 4), the structure of which was determined by X-ray crystallography. The formation of this acylindole involves the rupture of the C(7)? C(16) bond; it is the reverse of the reaction generally postulated as occurring in the biogenesis of the pentacyclic alkaloids. The structure of a by-product 34 was established as 17-hydroxymethylvincoridine by X-ray crystallography. The acid-catalyzed rearrangements involve the rupture of the Ph-N? C? N chromophore, with formation of a carbonyl at C(3). The reversibility of these steps is used in an easy correlation of dihydrocorymine and of 3-epidihydrocorymine via their trifluoroacetates.     

Reactivity of ortho‐Substituted Aryl–Palladium Complexes towards Carbodiimides,Isothiocyanates, Nitriles,and Cyanamides

Pd bond, protonation of the N atom, and coordination of X to Pd, [Pd{κ²‐X,E‐(XC₆H₃{EC(NHR)}‐2‐R′‐4)}(N^N)]OTf or [Pd(κ²‐X,N‐{ZC₆H₃(NH?CR)‐2‐R′‐4})(N^N)]OTf, or products of the coordination of carbodiimides and OH addition, [Pd{κ²‐C,N‐(C₆H₄{OC(NR)}NHR‐2)}(bpy)]OTf; or 2) products of the insertion of the C≡N group to Pd and N‐protonation, [Pd(κ²‐X,N‐{XC₆H₃(NH?CR)‐2‐R′‐4})(N^N)]OTf.     

Beiträge zur Strukturchemie phosphorhaltiger Ketten und Ringe. 2. Die Kristall- und Molekülstruktur des Diphosphaborirans (t-BuP)2BNEt2

Structural Chemistry of Phosphorus-containing Chains and Rings. 2. Crystal and Molecular Structure of the Diphosphaborirane (t-BuP)₂BNEt₂ The three-membered P₂B-heterocycles 1,2-di-tert-butyl-3-diethylamino-1,2,3-diphosphaborirane, (t-BuP)₂BNEt₂, crystallizes triclinic in the space group P1 with a = 935.5 pm, b = 985.4 pm, c = 987.4 pm,α = 81.55°, β = 89.40°, γ =69.07°, and Z = 2 formula units. The main structural feature is a short B? N-bond length (138.2 pm) inside a plane P₂BN-group. The endocyclic bond angles are 54.0° on phosphorus and 72.0° on boron. The (average) bond lengths are P? P = 222.5 pm, P? C = 189.5 pm, P? B = 189.3 pm, B? N = 138.2 pm, N? C = 147.2 pm, C? C = 152.6 pm, and C? H = 98 pm. The geometry of the substituents ethyl and tert-butyl is quite normal.     

[2+4] and [2+2] Cycloaddition Reactions of N‐Sulfinyl Carboxylic Acid Amides with (CF3)2BNMe2. Crystal Structure of cyclo‐(CF3)2B‐NMe2‐S(=O)‐N=C(p‐CH3C6H4)‐O

N‐sulfinylacylamides R‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with (CF₃)₂BNMe₂ ( 1 ) to form, by [2+4] cycloaddition, six‐membered rings cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(R)‐O for R = Me ( 2 ), t‐Bu ( 3 ), C₆H₅ ( 4 ), and p‐CH₃C₆H₄ ( 5 ) while N‐sulfinylcarbamic acid esters R‐O‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with 1 to yield mixtures of six‐membered (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(OR)‐O) and four‐membered rings (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N(C=O)OR) for R = Me ( 6 and 9 ), Et ( 7 and 10 ), and C₆H₅ ( 8 and 11 ). The structure of 5 has been determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Réactions du diazométhane III. Etude de la réaction d'insertion entre diazométhane et phénylcarbamates: comportement de la N-(phénoxy-carbonyl)-aniline et de la N-(p-nitrophénoxy-carbonyl)-aniline

Diazomethane reacts with N-(p-nitrophenoxy-carbonyl)-aniline giving on the one hand p-nitroanisole and phenylisocyanate, the latter being transformed into N-phenyl-β-propiolactam, and on the other hand N-(p-nitrophenoxy)-acetanilide by insertion. N-(phenoxy-carbonyl)-aniline does not react. The insertion reaction seems to depend on the heterolysis of the bond between the oxygen of the p-nitrophenoxy group and the carbamic carbonyl function, which is strongly polarized (existence of a mesomeric nitro-phenoxonium). The insertion is equally influenced y the nature of the radical R attached to the carbamic nitrogen: with R = ? CH₂COOC₂H₅ the reaction yields only isocyanate, with R = ? C₆H₅ it yields at the same time the isocyanate and the insertion product.     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXIX [1]. Sur la réaction de l′isothiocyanate d′o-méthoxycarbonyl-phényle avec divers acides et l′acide sérinephosphorique

Amino acids devoid of «leaving groups» on their β carbon atom (neither ? OH: serine, nor ? SH: cysteine) react with o-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl isothiocyanate (I) in the presence of one equivalent of NaOH, in water-dioxane or in ethanol, to yield the corresponding hydroquinazolinone derivatives II which were isolated as free acids. When treated with CH₃COOH + conc. HCl the hydroquinazolinone resulting from the reaction of L -serine with I undergoes a nucleophilic attack of the carbon bearing the leaving group ? OH by a lone pair of electrons of S; this attack produces the formation of an additional thiazolidine ring, yielding the thiazoloquinazolinone derivative (?)-III. In an analogous reaction DL -serine phosphoric acid treated with I at pH 8–9 yields the corresponding substituted hydroquinazolinone which, boiled in 1N hydrochloric acid, undergoes ring closure to (±)-III by the same mechanism as the serine derivative (leaving group: ? OPO₃H₂). L -Cysteine reacted with 2 equiv. of I and then treated with CH₃COOH + conc. HCl gives two products: (?)-III produced by the same mechanism as for serine (leaving group: ? SH), and the quinazolinone derivative IV where the ? SH group is also thiocarbamoylated.     

Sarcosinium tri­fluoro­acetate

The title compound, C₃H₈NO₂⁺·C₂F₃O₂^?, crystallizes in space group C2/c. The main N—C—COOH skeleton of the protonated sarcosine mol­ecule is almost perfectly planar. The tri­fluoro­acetate anion has a staggered conformation and typical bond distances and angles. The CF₃ group is probably slightly disordered. The structure is stabilized by an extensive network of strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds and weaker N—H?O bonds.     

9‐(2‐Chloro­ethyl­amino)­acridine monohydrate and its precursor 9‐phenoxy­acridine

The title compounds, C₁₅H₁₃ClN₂·H₂O, (I), and C₁₉H₁₃NO, (II), form monoclinic crystals. Arranged in a `head‐to‐tail' manner, the mol­ecules of the amine form (I) lie along the b axis in layers that are linked by a network of hydrogen bonds involving the endocyclic N atom, the H atom at the exocyclic N atom and all the atoms of the solvent water mol­ecule. Molecules of (II), with the phenoxy group nearly perpendicular to the acridine moiety, are arranged in pairs related by a center of symmetry and stabilized via two C—H⋯N contacts; the latter are linked via a network of further C—H⋯N contacts and non‐specific dispersive interactions.     

Methyl 3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐enoate

The title mol­ecule, C₁₁H₁₂O₃, is almost planar, with an average deviation of the C and O atoms from the least‐squares plane of 0.146 (4) Å. The geometry about the C=C bond is trans. The phenyl ring and –COOCH₃ group are twisted with respect to the double bond by 9.3 (3) and 5.6 (5)°, respectively. The endocyclic angle at the junction of the propenoate group and the phenyl ring is decreased from 120° by 2.6 (2)°, whereas two neighbouring angles around the ring are increased by 2.3 (2) and 0.9 (2)°. This is probably associated with the charge‐transfer interaction of the phenyl ring and –COOCH₃ group through the C=C double bond. The mol­ecules are joined together through C—H?O hydrogen bonds between the methoxy and ester groups to form characteristic zigzag chains extended along the c axis.     

Cyclopropanation of methyl (2<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-3-[(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>,6<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-4-yl]prop-2-enoate with dichlorocarbene and diazomethane

Cyclopropanation of methyl (2E)-3-[(1R,6S)-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-4-yl]prop-2-enoate with dichlorocarbene occurred at the endocyclic double bond, while its reaction with diazomethane in the presence of Pd(acac)₂ involved the exocyclic double bond. The resulting lactones reacted with sodium methoxide in methanol via opening of one cyclopropane fragment.

From the dynamic ¹H NMR spectra an activation barrier of ΔG_ent^≠ = 16.4 ± 0.5 kcal/mol is estimated for the enantiomerization process of the chiral metallacycle 3b at the coalescence temperature of the Cp-methylgroup resonances (297 K).     

Deuterierung von Betanidin und Indicaxanthin, (E/Z)-Stereoisomerie in Betalainen

Deuteration of Betanidine and Indicaxanthine. (E/Z)-Stereoisomerism in Betalaines Previously unexplained ¹H-NMR signals of the red-violet betanidine and of the yellow indicaxanthine in CF₃COOH are interpreted with the help of deuteration experiments in CF₃COOD. They confirm the 1,7-diazaheptamethinium chromophore of these pigments and further show an (E/Z)-stereoisomerism at one of the partial double bonds: both betanidine and isobetanidine, in CF₃COOH solution, consist of a ～ 75:25 mixture of the (12E)- ( 1 resp. 12 ) and the (12Z)-stereoisomer ( 2 resp. 13 ); indicaxanthine, in the same solvent, is made up of a ～ 65:35 mixture of the (8E)- ( 14 ) and the (8Z)-stereoisomer ( 15 ). The interconversions 1?2 , 12?13 and 14?15 in CF₃COOH are so fast that these isomers cannot be separated from each other.
