5'-Substituted 2,2'-anhydrouridines

3',5'-Di-O-acetyl-2'-halogenouridines (1a, 1c and 1d) can be partially deacetylated at C-5' by transesterification with methanol-HCl, providing the 3'-O-acetyl derivatives 2a–2c. These can be converted into the 5'-O-mesyl derivatives 3a–3c, and latter into the 5'-chloro compounds 3d-3f. All 5'-substituted 2'-halogeno compounds give the corresponding 2,2'-anhydrouridine derivatives 4a–4c on treatment with NaOMe. Structures were proved by IR and ¹H-NMR.     

Dosage de l'hydrogene,de l'azote et de l'oxygene dans le monocarbure d'uranium

A method is described for the determination of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in uranium monocarbide. Hydrogen and oxygen are determined by the classical or modified “Platinum flux” method at 2000° with a coefficient of variation of 10%. Nitrogen is determined at 2000° by the modification of the “Platinum flux” technique. The results obtained are in agreement with those found by Kjeldahl analysis. The coefficient of variation is about 10%. A procedure for the simultaneous determination of the 3 gases is given.     

Couplage selectif d'azaallyllithium et d'arylallenes : synthese generale d'arylmethylenepyrrolidines

1–3 Cycloaddition of 1,3-diphenyl-2-azallyllithium with arylallenes affords a general synthetic method for arylmethylenepyrrolidines, a new class of five-membered-heterocycles.     

M/'ethode d'analyse qualitative des cations sans s/'eparations syst/'ematiques

The authors have formerly described a qualitative method for the analysis of Cations according to which separations were reduced to a minimum, each metal being detected by an independent test.They presently seek to improve this method, with special regard to the case when small quantities of an element are to be found in the presence of large proportions of one or more other cations.In this first paper are given the results for the following metals arsenic, tin, antimony, bismuth.     

2'-Desoxytubercidin: synthese des o-3'-phosphoramidites und kondensation zu 2'-desoxytubercidylyl(3' → 5')-2'-desoxytubercidin

The phosphoramidite of 2'-deoxytubercidin (2) has been prepared by phosphitylation of compound 3b with chlorodiisopropylaminomethoxyphosphane. The intermediate 3b was obtained from 2'-deoxytubercidin (1) by N⁴-benzoylation and subsequent O-5'-dimethoxytritylation. Condensation of compound 2 with O-3'-silylated 3e gave the fully protected dimer 4b, which was converted into 2'-deoxytubercidylyl (3' → 5')-2'-deoxytubercidin(4a). Compound 4a isoster with 2'-deoxyadenosylyl(3' → 5')-2'-deoxyadenosine (d(ApA)) exhibits a hypochromicity of 11% (270 nm) due to strong stacking interactions. Cleavage of the dinucleoside monophosphate 4a with nuclease S₁ occurs five times faster than that of d(ApA). This shows that the single strand specific enzyme recognises the geometry of the stacked nucleobases.     

Method d'estimation des limites d'inflammabilite

We have employed the criteria defined by the CHETAH (ASTM) program to predict the lower and the upper flammability limits of various organic compounds. The results obtained for molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are, in most cases, in good agreement with experimental values. The difficulties encountered when the molecule contains a heteroatom can be overcome by knowledge of the stoichiometric conditions of the combustion reactions.     

Preparation d'acides aminoalkyl phosphoniques a l'aide d'ω-halogenoalkyl amines phosphorylees

Aminoalkylphosphonic acids are prepared via amino group protection by nitrogen-phosphorus (P-N) bond formation. Phosphorylation of β or γ-bromoalkylamines with chlorophosphates followed by reaction of the resulting haloalkylphosphoramidates with triethylphosphite (Arbuzov reaction) to give a phosphoramidate-phos-phonate intermediate which can be alkylated with various reagents. Removal of the phosphoryl residue may be brought about by treatment with aqueous hydrogen chloride. Improvements in the isolation of the amino-phosphonic acids are described.     

Alcoylation par l'iodure de butyle,de l'enolate de tetrabutylammonium de l'acetylacetone; nature de l'entite reagissante

The alkylation of tetrabutylammonium acetylacetonate with butyl iodide was studied in order to specify the nature of the reactive anionic species during the nucleophilic reaction of an ambident anion, under similar conditions to those of phase transfer catalysis. The C/O alkylation ratio changes with neither the solvents nor the enolate concentration; however k_obs, varies with the solvent but does not depend on the énolate concentration. The results and spectrophotometric UV data show that only one reactive species, the ion-pair, is involved.     

Determination de la constante d'acidite intrinseque d'un echangeur d'ions carboxylique

To obtain the intrinsic acidity constant of a carboxylic ion-exchanger, we propose a method of graphical double extrapolation. The results for an ion-exchanger made of polyvinyl alcohol grafted with acrylic acid are close to those published for the corresponding linear polyacid.     

Synthese et etude de l'agregation moleculaire d'amines derivees de l'adamantane

Adamantanealkanamines were prepared by a new method: the wittig reaction of aminophosphonium ylides with 2-adamantanone. Conductance measurements have been employed to examine and compare the aggregation behaviour of these compounds.     

A convenient synthesis of N,N',N''-trisubstituted diethylenetriamines

N,N',N''-Trisubstituted diethylenetriamines (1,4,7-triaza-heptanes) were synthesized by reduction of the relevantly substituted 2,2'-iminodiacetiamides which, in turn, were accessed from cheap reactants by the methods depending on their nature. The triamines thus obtained may be promising ligands for metal catalysts.     

Transposition des oxirannes-ethanols par l'intermediaire d'alcoxyetains

Oxiraneethoxytributyltins prepared from the corresponding oxiraneethanols, on heating at ～ 200° gave, after demetalation with isophthallic acid, 2-oxetanemethanols and/or 3-oxolanols. As appears from about thirty rearrangements the choice between oxetane and oxolane formation is dependent on: (1) the relative degree of substitution of the oxirane ring; cyclization occuring predominantly at the more substituted carbon; and (2) the configuration of the oxirane ring, when both its ends are equally substituted; cis form being more suitable for generation of the smaller ring. The reaction is shown to proceed with inversion of configuration at the site of oxygen attack. The results of attempts to perform the rearrangement in dilute-phase or through alkaline metal alkoxides in various media support the conclusion that there is a large contribution by electrophilic assistance to the oxirane opening. Such assistance can be efficiently provided by a tin atom in a push-pull mechanism which accomodates all the facts. The present method of oxiraneethanol rearrangement may offer a convenient route to functional oxetanes.
