Stereoselective acid-catalyzed homoallylic rearrangement of cyclopropylsilylmethanols: an efficient route to Z-homoallyl derivatives

Treatment of cyclopropylsilylmethanols derived from cyclopropyl silyl ketones with acid catalyst gives the corresponding silyl-substituted homoallyl derivatives in high yields with good stereoselectivity, independent of the substituents on the cyclopropyl ring. Cyclopropylsilylmethanols having a n-, s-butyl or phenyl group on the carbinyl carbon react to afford the E-homoallyl derivatives selectively. On the other hand, the reaction of cyclopropylsilylmethanols having a tert-butyl group gives Z-isomers exclusively. The following protiodesilylation of the resulting homoallyl derivatives proceeds with retention of configuration.     

Synthesis of 4- and 6-substituted nitroindoles

Enolizable ketones react with m-nitroaniline in the presence of strong base such as t-BuOK to give 4- and 6-substituted nitroindoles. The reaction proceeds via oxidative nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in m-nitroaniline with enolate anions in positions ortho to the amino group giving anionic σ^H adducts that are additionally stabilized by intramolecular interaction between the amino and the carbonyl group. Spontaneous oxidation of the σ^H adducts followed by the Bayer type condensation of the produced ortho-aminonitrobenzyl ketones gives 4- and 6-substituted nitroindoles. The scope of this reaction and its basic mechanistic features are discussed.

Synthesis of á-aminonitrile through Anodic Cyanation of N-benzylpiperidine

Electrochemistry behaviors including linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry of tertiary cyclic amines with different substituted group were studied. The effect of different substituted group of the nitrogen on the oxidation potential was analyzed. The most suited potential used in α-aminonitrile synthesis through potentiostatic anodic cyanation of cyclic teritary amines was found. The anodic cyanation of N-alkyl-substituted cyclic six-membered amines including N-benzylpiperidine and…

CROSS-LINKING OF AROMATIC POLY（THIOETHER）S

A novel cross-linking process using two high molecular weight aromatic poly(thioether)s,which were synthesized by the reactions of 4,4′-thiobisbenzenethiol with 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone and 4,4′-difluorodiphenylsulfone,respectively, and commercially available lower molecular weight poly(p-phenylene sulfide)was investigated.These reactions were carried out in bulk by the addition of silver tetrafluroborate andα,α′-dibromo-p-xylene at 190℃over a period of 45 min. Furthermore,the same procedure could be modified to cross-link compression-molded films of these three polymers.The thermal and solubility behaviors of these polymers before and after cross-linking reactions,are presented.

Synthetische und NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen der Benzylaminaddition an N-Maleyl-aminosäurederivate

Summary During the addition of amines to maleylamino acids in general -amino derivatives are formed. In order to change the reactivity within the vinylogous maleyl system we introduced the -benzylester group into the starting compound N-(cis--carboxyacryloyl)-phenylalanine methylester1. The obtained benzylester2 is adding benzylamine in -position yielding N-benzyl--aspartyl(-benzyl)-phenylalanine methylester4. The addition reaction was investigated by¹H-NMR-spectroscopy. The structures of the compounds have been confirmed by elemental analysis, IR,¹H-NMR and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy.
