1-Phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes

The approaches to synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes C₅H₁₀Si(Ph)X (X = F, Cl, Br) have been examined. 1-Phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane has been prepared via the known reaction of phenyltrichlorosilane with dimagnesium derivative of 1,5-dibromopentane; up to 20% of 1-bromo-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane admixture is formed along with the target product. The minor product formation has been prevented using an alternative method of chlorination of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane with N-chlorosuccinimide. 1-Phenyl-1-fluoro-1-silacyclohexane has been obtained in close to quantitative yield via the reaction of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with SbF₃ and in 70% yield via its reaction with HF. The synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-bromo-1-silacyclohexane via bromination of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with N-bromosuccinimide has given the target product as a minor one, the major product being disiloxane formed due to hydrolysis of the Si–Br bond.

The rate constants are given by and The criteria for molecular or chain processes in thermal dehydrochlorinations are discussed.     

1, 1-Difluoro-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene

1, 1-Difluorocyclopropa[a]naphthalene ( 1b ) is prepared in three steps from 4-bromo-1,2-dihydronaphthalene ( 7 ) via carbene addition, benzylic bromination and bidehydrohalogenation. Structural evidence for formation of 1b is based on ¹H- and ¹⁹F-NMR spectroscopy. Compound 1b is stable in solution at ?30°. Upon reaction with MeOH/H⁺ it is converted to a 1:2 mixture of 1- and 2-methylnaphthoate ( 10 and 11 , respectively).     

1-Trimethylsilyl-, 1-Trimethylgermyl- und 1-Trimethylstannyl-3,4-dimethylphospholen

1-Trimethylsilyl-, 1-Trimethylgermyl-, and 1-Trimethylstannyl-3,4-dimethylphospholene 1-Lithium-3,4-dimethylphospholen reacts with Me₃SiCl and Me₃GeCl yielding 1-trimethylsilyl-3,4-dimethylphospholene ( 1 ) and 1-trimethylgermyl-3,4-dimethylphospholene ( 2 ) respectively. 2 and 1-trimethylstannyl-3,4-dimethylphospholene ( 3 ) are formed using the reaction of 1 with Me₃GeCl and Me₃SnCl respectively. The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹PNMR-spectra as well as the mass spectra of the new compounds are discussed.

The Z and E teomers of the title compounds are regioselectivity and stereoselectively prepared respectively by reaction of phosphorus ylides with α-selenocyclopropyl aldehydes and by addition of α-lithio seleno-cyclopropanes on α-seleno aldehydes.     

1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene

High molecular weight, 1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene were prepared in tetramethylenesulfone solution by complexing the electron-poor bicyclobutane monomer with zinc chloride. Methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate under these conditions gave copolymers containing a slight excess of styrene units (ratio 1:1.3 to 1:1.8). High molecular weight homopolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile and of methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate were prepared similarly. The tendency of the bicyclobutane nitrile to form 1:1 alternating copolymers is as great as that of its vinyl analog, acrylonitrile, and the synthesis of other alternating copolymers from this monomer should be possible.     

Solution conformations of mycothiol bimane, 1-D-GlcNAc-alpha-(1 --> 1)-D-myo-Ins and 1-D-GlcNAc-alpha-(1 --> 1)-L-myo-Ins

Mycothiol is an abundant small molecular weight thiol found only in actinomycetes, which include mycobacteria. Mycothiol biosynthetic and detoxification enzymes are novel and unique to actinomycetes, thereby representing potential antimycobacterial targets. To better guide inhibitor design, we have determined by NMR the solution conformations of mycothiol bimane (MSmB) and the pseudodisaccharide 1-D-GlcNAc-alpha-(1 --> 1)-D-myo-Ins (D-GI), molecules that represent the natural substrates for the mycothiol-dependent detoxification enzyme mycothiol-S-conjugate amidase (MCA) and the mycothiol biosynthetic enzyme D-GlcNAc-alpha-(1 --> 1)-D-myo-Ins deacetylase (AcGI deacetylase), respectively. Comparison of the mean structure of MSmB and the energy-minimized structures of two competitive spiroisoxazoline-containing MCA inhibitors shows striking similarities between these molecules in the region of the scissile amide bond of MSmB and provides structural evidence that those inhibitors are substrate mimics. Owing to our earlier finding that AcGI deacetylase will not deacetylate the unnatural isomer 1-d-GlcNAc-alpha-(1 --> 1)-L-myo-Ins (L-GI), the solution conformation of L-GI was also determined. The interglycosidic bond angles for all three compounds are comparable. When considered together with the observation that a simplified cyclohexyl thioglycoside mycothiol analogue is a good substrate for MCA, it appears that the stereochemistry of the inositol ring is critical for deacetylase function, superceding the importance of the full complement of hydroxyl groups on the "nonreducing" ring.     

Conformational analysis of 2-substituted 1-nitro-and 1-bromo-1-nitroethenes

Conformational analysis of 2-trichloromethyl(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-nitro-and 2-trichloromethyl-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-bromo-1-nitroethenes was performed using the dipole moment method, IR spectroscopy, and DFT quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*). The nitro and ester (or trichloromethyl) groups in the molecules of these compounds were found to occupy trans positions with respect to the double C=C bond, i.e., the nitroalkenes have E, and their bromine-containing analogs, Z configuration; the compounds having an ethoxycarbonyl group are characterized by s-cis orientation of the C=C and C=O bonds.
