Un nouvel exemple de transposition: l'épimérisation en C(3) d'hydroxy-3-δ1-pyrazolines dérivées de sucres

A Novel Example of Reversible Ring Opening: The Epimerization at C(3) of Sugar 3-Hydroxy-Δ¹-pyrazolines Reaction of 1 (either geometrical isomer) with hydrazine followed by in situ Ag₂O oxidation led to two pairs of interconverting isomers 4 ? 5 and 6 ? 7 . By the same treatment, (Z)- 10 and (or) (E)- 10 gave the pair 11 ? 12 . Acetylation of 4 ? 5 led to a non interconverting mixture of 8 and 9 . This fact, and the lack of incorporation of ¹⁸O when the epimerization took place in the presence of H₂¹⁸O indicated that the most probable mechanism consisted in a reversible ring opening ( D ? E ? F ). The kinetic parameters of these reactions are given and structural assignments proposed for the new compounds.     

Stéréochimie en série aziridine: VI—Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire d'alcools aziridiniques primaires (configuration à l'azote,isoméries de rotation)

The PMR spectra of six primary aziridinyl carbinols are studied over a temperature range of ?30°C to +100°C. Nitrogen configuration is determined. When the inversion process is effective, kinetic parameters are evaluated. Rotational isomerism about the ‘ring? CH₂OH’ bond is studied from vicinal coupling constants associated with the two diastereotopic protons on the ? CH₂OH group. From the J(HOCH) coupling constant (in CCL₄) rotamer populations of the hydroxyl group are determined in some cases and the overall conformational distribution can be established.     

Recherches en série azabenzodiazépine. VI—etude en spectrométrie de masse de pyrazolo [3,4-b]diazépines-1,4

The mass spectra of 21 1,4-pyrazolo[3,4-b]diazepines are reported and analysed. Each of the five structures of the diazepine ring present is characterized by a particular group of fragmentations; among them one is common to all the compounds under study: the cleavage of C-5? C-6 and C-7? N-8 bonds leading to pyrazoloimidazoles ions.     

Processus de rotation empêchée autour de plusieurs liaisons dans les sels de (N,N-diméthylamino-1 propényl-1-ylidène-3) diméthylammonium

The structural identification of some N,N-dimethyl-aminopropenylylidene-dimethylammonium salts has been achieved by NMR and UV spectrographic studies. Several processes of hindered rotation around C? N and C? C bonds are demonstrated. Free activation enthalpies are determined and discussed in terms of effects of the substituent, anion and solvent.     

Reactivité de composés carbonylés avec des cétènes en présence d'alkoxydes de titane ou de zirconium. 3e communication

Reactivity of Carbonyl Compounds with Ketenes in the Presence of Titanium or Zirconium Alkoxides The reaction of ketene or dimethylketene with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of titanium or zirconium alkoxides gives essentially β-hydroxyesters. By polyinsertion of ketene and aldehydes in the Ti? O bond, di- tri- and tetraesters are formed. An excess of ketene produces acetyl derivatives of esters and 6-alkyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2,4-pyrandiones.     

Vibrations de valence C?H/C?D fondamentales et harmoniques de dérivés halogénés du méthane et du deutériométhane

The fundamentals and overtones of the C? H stretching vibrations of a number of halogenated methanes and deuteriomethanes are compared with a hypothetical model consisting of isolated groups. The anharmonicity constants are evaluated and lie between ?20 cm^?1 and ?130 cm^?1 for the C? H and C? D stretching vibrations. The value of the anharmonicity constant for a coupling between two different modes of vibration is always greater (in absolute numbers) than its value for an overtone of one frequency. The constant is larger for a symmetric mode than for an asymmetric mode in the case of a C? H vibration; the contrary is true for a C? D bond. Complex interactions between different vibrations often strongly modify the spectra of the overtones. It is shown, however, that the conception of an isolated group is helpful for evaluating the spectra of these substances.     

Etude RMN 13C d'un Dérivé Uniformément Enrichi en 13C. Signe des Valeurs des Constantes de Couplage Observées

The ¹³C NMR parameters of 3-O-acetyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidène-α-D-[U-¹³C] glucofuranose, used as a sample for analysis in double labelling biosynthetic experiments, have been measured. Homonuclear double resonance experiments ¹³C? {¹³C} at 62.8 MHz have permitted the determination of all the ¹³C? ¹³C coupling constants. By theoretical computation of spectra, in connection with the second order effects existing at 25.2 MHz and 15.08 MHz, the sign of the coupling constants has been determined. The theoretical computation of spectra took into account all the isotopomers and was calculated with the help of a program (adapted from the LAOCOON program) allowing for the weighted addition of the spectra.     

Etude de la Réaction d'Hydrolyse de l'Anion PO3F2− en Solution Aqueuse

Investigation of the Hydrolysis of the PO₃F^2? Anion in Aqueous Solution Hydrolysis of monofluorophosphate solutions has been studied by ionic chromatography. We have shown that pH is the leading factor. The rate constant is indeed fourty times more important at pH 2, compared to pH 4, independent on the temperature. Hydrolysis is only little dependent on the cation involved in the solution and on the acid added to reach the desired pH. The activation energy determined for this first order hydrolysis reaction is 24 kcal/mole.     

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.     

Etude structurale de la bipyrimidine par RMN en phase nématique

The 240 MHz NMR spectra of bipyrimidine in the nematic phase of p-methoxybenzylidene-p-n-butylaniline is analysed. The para H,H inter-ring distance is determined. The barrier to internal rotation of the inter-ring C? C bond is studied. Excellent agreement between experimental and calculated spectra is obtained using potential function V(?) = ½ Σ_NV_n (1 – cosn ?) with V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = 0 cal mol^?1 and V₄ = 500 cal mol^?1.     

Dérivés Alléniques de l'Étain,du Plomb et du Mercure. Signes Relatifs des Constantes de Couplage Métal-Proton á Travers Deux et Quatre Liaisons

Satellites corresponding to metal-proton coupling constants through two and four bonds are observed in PMR spectra of Pb, Sn and Hg allenic derivatives. The relative signs of these coupling constants are deduced from analysis of the satellite spectra: ²J(X? H) and ⁴J(X? H) are of opposite signs for X = ²⁰⁷Pb, ¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn and of same sign for X = ¹⁹⁹Hg. Probable absolute signs of reduced coupling constants are discussed in relation to published data: ²K(X? C? H) is probably positive for X = ²⁰⁷Pb, ¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn and ¹⁹⁹Hg. ⁴K(X? C?C?C? H) is probably negative for X = ²⁰⁷Pb, ¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn and positive for X = ¹⁹⁹Hg.     

Effets de Substituants en Série Diazolique et Diazinique-1,3—Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du Carbone-13

We have recorded the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of thiones and thioethers in the 1,3-diazole and 1,3-diazine series with various alkyl substituents at the nitrogen atoms. Some analogous oxygen containing heterocycles were also examined. We have shown that in the thiocarbonylated compounds the thiol ? thione equilibrium is displaced towards the thione form, but that ¹³C n.m.r. gives only qualitative results. In the sulphur containing derivatives the isopropyl group is in a fixed conformational position because of the steric hindrance of the sulphur atom. Substitution by a tert-butyl group leads to unexpected γ values. We ascribe this phenomenon to ring deformation or to variations in the valence angles of the substituted nitrogen atoms.     

Profil de Pics Métastables (Pertes de NO·) en Série Nitroindazolique

The kinetic energy releases associated with the loss of NO? from nitroindazole molecular ions have been measured. The results show that, although the mass spectra are nearly identical, the corresponding metastable peak shapes can be used to differentiate the five isomers.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also discussed.     

Spectrométrie de Masse de Benzylidène—Acétals d'Hexopyranosides

The electron impact fragmentation is reported for 46 benzylidene acetals of hexopyranosides of the allo, altro, galacto, gluco, gulo and manno series and some of their mono-oxidation products. Besides the molecular ion, which is always present and is usually part of a triplet the previously reported ion formed by cleavage of C-1? C-2, C-4? C-5 and the benzylic C? O(C-4) bond is observed. Evidence is given for two complementary ruptures (C-1? C-2, C-3? C-4; C-1? O-5, C-2? C-3, fragmentations whose intensities depend on the substituents or functional groups present in the molecule. In most cases these fragmentations allow an assignment of the substitution mode of these 1,3,6-trioxa-bicyclo-[4.4.0]decane systems. The limitations of this method are discussed.     

Equilibres conformationnels de glucides au niveau de liaisons σ sp2-sp3 C-C. III Dérivés d'oximes d'aldéhydo-sucres utilisation de tris-dipivaloylméthanato-europium

A series of sugar oximes and O-methyloximes of the general formula RCH?NOR′ (R′ ? H, CH₃) have been studied by PMR. spectroscopy. These compounds exist in solution as a mixture of the syn and anti isomers. The conformational equilibrium of the syn isomers seems to consist exclusively of the eclipsed rotamers, whereas for the anti isomers there appears to be a significant contribution from bisecting rotamers. Using tris-dipivaloylmethanato-europium it is found that the α proton of the anti oximes is much more deshielded than the corresponding proton of the syn isomers, which means that the downfield shift of a particular proton does not depend exclusively on its distance from the oxygen of the oxyimino group.     

Synthèse de sucres aminès ramifiés II. Synthèse et réactions de spiro-aziridines. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ or RMgX yields spiro-aziridines with two identical substituents on C(3′) (? H, ? CH₃, ? C₂H₅). Reactions of these products and their derivatives are briefly described. If the C(3′) substituents are protons, the aziridine ring is easily opened. In acidic media (HCl), an amino-sugar containing the branched chain ? CH₂Cl is produced; with hydrogenation, a ? CH₃ branched chain results. If the C(3′) substituents are methyl groups, the aziridine ring cannot be opened neither with HCl nor with hydrogen. The acetylated derivative of this latter compound rearranges to the corresponding allylamide with HCl. For both types of spiro-aziridine, the nitrous deamination leads to the corresponding alkene.     

Analyse conformationnelle par l'étude de RMN d'oximes de systèmes figés: Corrélation Δδ = f (angle dièdre)

The NMR spectra of syn-anti oxime isomers have been studied. A relationship between the magnitude of the α- protons' chemical shifts and the dihedral angle formed by the α C? H bond and the ?N? OH plane has been discussed. A correlation curve Δδ = f (dihedral angle) has been determined from sterically rigid models and used to evaluate the conformation of cyclic molecules, the geometry of which has not yet been studied. The geometry of the oxime is similar to the ketone, with the exception of sterically crowded models.     

Stéréochimie de β-diols et de leurs dérivés cycliques—VII. Calcul empirique des déplacements chimiques en série dioxannique. Application a l'analyse conformationnelle de dérivés alkyles

The empirical calculation of chemical shifts of methyl-1,3-dioxans leads to consistent results. Deviations from the experimental value are correlated with ring deformation. This method is applied to 4 or 6-ethyl, -isopropyl and tertiary butyl-1,3-dioxans. With no substituent at C5, the 4-tertiary butyl group causes no more deformation than at the 2 or 5 position. Interactions of this group with one or two methyl groups at C5 are examined.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXI. Utilisation en chimie des sucres du synthon bromo-2-cyano-2-éthényle. Communication préliminaire

C-Glycosyl derivatives XXXI. Some uses in Carbohydrate Chemistry of the 2-bromo-2-cyano ethenyl synthon Sugars bearing the synthon 2-bromo-2-cyano-ethenyl, ? CαH?Cγ(Br)C?N, reacted with binucleophiles, gave rise to α, α, α, β or α, γ ring-forming reactions. C-glycosyl-dioxolanes, -aziridines, -dithianes, -pyrimidines, -furanes and -pyrazoles were so obtained. The stereochemical paths of some of these reactions are discussed.
