Etude par spectrométrie de masse de l'ionisation de benzonitriles,de phénylacétonitriles et de N,N-diméthylanilines substitués

Molecular ionization potentials for series of compounds of the type X? C₆H₄? CN, X? C₆H₄CH₂? CN and X? C₆H₄? N(CH₃)₂ have been measured using the retarding potential difference technique (RPD. technique). The effect of the various substituents X is better correlated through the electrophilic Brown σ_p⁺ constants than through Hammett's σ_p values. No meta-para orientation effect is observed. For all the disubstituted phenyl compounds studied, the effect of the second substituent is affected by the electron-releasing power of the original substituent. Ionization potentials calculated by using the semi-empirical method of equivalent orbitals are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

Étude des spectres infrarouges de divers dialcoyl-diméthoxy-stannanes

The infrared absorption spectra of some dialkyldimethoxystannanes have been investigated in the 400–1500 cm^?1 region. The bands associated with v_s(SnC₂) and v_s(SnO₂) vibrations have been found at 510–521 cm^?1 and 466–475 cm^?1. The group of bands between 560 and 620 cm^?1 is assigned jointly to v_a(SnC₂) and v_a(SnO₂) vibrations. v(C? O) of the methoxy groups linked to tin appears at 1064–1068 cm^?1.     

Noble‐Metal‐Free Single‐Atom Catalysts CuAl4O7–9− for CO Oxidation by O2

The single copper atom doped clusters CuAl₄O_7–9^? can catalyze CO oxidation by O₂. The CuAl₄O_7–9^? clusters are the first group of experimentally identified noble‐metal free single atom catalysts for such a prototypical reaction. The reactions were characterized by mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. The CuAl₄O₉CO^? is much more reactive than CuAl₄O₉^? in the reaction with CO to generate CO₂. One adsorbed CO is crucial to stabilize Cu of CuAl₄O₉^? around +I oxidation state and promote the oxidation of another CO. The widely emphasized correlation between the catalytic reactivity of CO oxidation and Cu oxidation state can be understood at the strictly molecular level. The remarkable difference between Cu catalysis and noble‐metal catalysis was discussed.     

Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire en phase nématique. Exploration de la barrière d'empêchement à la libre rotation de la monofluoroacétone

The NMR spectra of monochloro-, monobromo- and monofluoroacetone (CH₃? CO? CH₂X with X = Cl, Br, F) oriented in a nematic phase have been measured and the direct dipolar coupling constants determined. The barrier to internal rotation for the CH₂F group has been studied for fluorine compound using various hypotheses. The best agreement with IR data has been obtained using the potential equation V(θ) = Σ_n V_n × (1 – cos nθ)/2 and a Boltzmann distribution of the CH₂F group (V₁ = 250 ± 50 cal.mol^?1, V₂ = 1650 ± 100 cal.mol^?1, V₃ = ?1000 ± 100 cal.mol^?1).     

Na10Zn4O9 – ein neues Oxozinkat mit trigonal-planar koordiniertem Zink

Na₁₀Zn₄O₉, a Novel Oxozincate with Trigonal Planar Coordinated Zinc Using a new preparation method for sodium oxometallates we have succeeded in the synthesis of the new ternary oxide Na₁₀Zn₄O₉. Active ZnO reacted with Na₂O generated in situ from NaN₃ and NaNO₂. The compound consists of ZnO₄ tetrahedra which are connected via edges and corners to form layers of the composition ZnO₂. Furthermore, the structure was found to contain isolated, trigonal planar ZnO₃ units. 21 of 60 Na⁺ ions within the unit cell are disordered. Na₁₀Zn₄O₉ crystallizes in the space group R3 m (Nr. 166). The lattice constants are: a = 10.815(3), c = 17.930(7) Å; Z = 6; 8056 reflections; R = 0.062. The sodium ion conductivity at 400°C is 6 × 10^?3 Ω^?1 cm^?1.     

Interactions intramoléculaires. XXVI—Constantes de couplage et hétérogénéités conformationnelles dans une série de R-3 et R-5 cyano-4 cyclohexènes deutériés (R=méthyl ou t-butyl)

For trans-3-R- and 5-R-1-acetoxy-4-cyanocyclohexene-6,6-d₂ the molar fractions of diequatorial conformers are 0.83 (3-methyl), 0.68 (5-methyl), 0.57 (3-tert-butyl) and 0.55–0.69 (5-tert-butyl). For the last two compounds the values of the coupling constants are in agreement with the hypothesis of an ee?aa equilibrium. For the cis isomers, the molar fractions of equatorial alkyl conformers are 0.76 (3-methyl and 5-methyl) and 1.0 (3-tert-butyl and 5-tert-butyl). The cis-1-acetoxy-3-tert-butyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-cyclohexene presents a conformational heterogeneity. The conformational free energy of the methyl group in position 4 has been evaluated as ?0.6 kcal mol^?1 (2.5 kJ mol^?1).     

The lifetimes of gas phase CO2˙− and N2O˙− calculated from the transition probability of the autodetachment process A− → A + e−

A procedure to calculate the quantum mechanical transition probability of a unimolecular primary chemical process, A^? → A + e^? is investigated for the circumstance where A^? and A have different numbers of vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom (one is linear, the other not). A procedure is introduced to deal with the coupling between the vibrational and rotational motions. The proposed method was applied to calculating the lifetimes of CO₂^˙? and N₂O^˙? in the gas phase. The geometry optimizations and frequency calculations for CO₂, CO₂^˙?, N₂O, and N₂O^˙? are performed at HF, MP2, and QCISD(T) levels with 6-31G* or 6–31+G* basis sets, in order to obtain reliable geometric and spectroscopic information on these systems. Lifetimes are calculated for several of the lower vibrational–rotational states of the anions, as well as for the Boltzmann distribution of states at 298 K. The lifetime of the lowest vibrational–rotational state of CO₂^˙?, is 1.03 × 10^?4 s, and of the lowest vibrational state with rotational levels weighted by Boltzmann distribution at 298 K, 1.50 × 10^?4 s. These values are in good agreement with the experimental number, 9.0 ± 2.0 × 10^?5 s, and support the experimental evidence that CO₂^˙? was formed in its ground vibrational level by the techniques used. The lifetime of CO₂^˙? calculated with Boltzmann distribution over its vibrational and rotational levels at 298 K, is 1.51 × 10^?5 s. There are no direct measurements of the lifetime of N₂O^˙?, but it was estimated to be greater than 10^?4 s from experimental evidence. The predicted lifetimes of N₂O^˙?, at its lowest vibrational–rotational state (0 K) and lowest vibrational state with rotational levels weighted by the Boltzmann distribution at 298 K, are 238 and 19.1 s, respectively. The lifetime of N₂O^˙? at thermal equilibrium at 298 K is 6.66 × 10^?2 s, indicating that electron loss from the excited vibrational states of N₂O^˙? is significant. This study represents the first theoretical investigation of CO₂^˙? and N₂O^˙? lifetimes. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthèse de nouveaux types de dérivés C-glycosyliques à partir de sucres acétyléniques ou de leurs équivalents synthétiques partiels

Synthesis of Novel Types of C-Glycosyl-derivatives from Acetylenic Sugars or Partial Synthetic Equivalents thereof The concept of synthetic equivalent is not unequivocal and, for example, α-fluoroenamines may behave in some cases as synthetic equivalents of ynamines and, in other situations, quite differently. Some uses of these α-fluoroenamines, ‘partial synthetic equivalents’ of ynamines, for the synthesis of C-glycosyl derivatives of coumarins, chromones, quinolines, quinolones, thietenes and isoxazoles are described. We also report the preparation of a series of mono- and diglycosylthiophenes by reacting HS^? with mono- and diglycosylbutadiynes. Acetylenic sugar derivatives have also been used for the synthesis of a diglycosylazaphosphorine and a spirooxolenone.     

Esters phosphoriques,phosphonates et oxydes de phosphine dérivés de sucres. Communication préliminaire

Some sugar phosphates, phosphonates and phosphine oxides, Preliminary communication Some new phosphates of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose have been prepared. Reactions of 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-α-D -erythro-pentofuranose (9) have been studied. On treatment with phosphorus nucleophiles, 9 led to phosphorus bearing branched-chain sugar derivatives. Branched-chain cyanosugars as 15 and 16 prepared by cis-vic-dihydroxylation of 9 constitute interesting potential precursors of new types of cyclic sugar phosphates.     

Une fonction d'onde autocohérente (self-consistent) sans restriction de symétrie pour 1′état X3Π de la molécule BN

We give the self-consistent wave functions for the BN molecule in the …(5 σ) (1 π⁺)² (1 π^?), X³ Π state. These wave functions are obtained as linear combinations of SLATER orbitals of the atoms. In this openshell case the π⁺ and π^? orbitals belonging to the same symmetry species but to different subspecies are allowed to vary independently. Their coefficients are found rather different from one another; this seems to mean that the effect of the usual symmetry restriction could be relatively important in such cases.     

Substitution électrophile aromatique dans l'anhydride sulfureux liquide. Influence de la concentration en bromure et rôle du solvant sur la réactivité des anisoles au cours de la réaction de bromation

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution in Liquid Sulfur Dioxide. Kinetic Dependance of Rate on the Bromide Concentration and Influence of the Solvent during the Course of the Reaction On the reported data for bromination of anisole and eleven of its derivatives in liquid SO₂, it was shown that, with a large excess of bromide, the rate of reaction, obeys a first-order law. Rate constants thus obtained do not discriminate between the two different forms of bromide, e.g. Br₂ and Br^?₃ present as the A⁺Br^?₃ form, and corrections were made by use of the apparent equilibrium constant K′ for tribromide formation. The variations of rate constants with initial concentration of bromide has been studied and the effect results in a retardation of the bromination rate. Moreover, the ratio [Br₂] [A⁺Br^?]_T, which is constant during an experiment, varies with initial bromide concentrations, this variation affecting the total rate. To account for the bromide effect on the reactivity, variations of k^o,p_g {1 + K′[A⁺Br^?]_T}VS[A⁺Br^?]_T were studied over a 0.01 to 1M range of bromide concentration. The mechanism proposed shows that liquid SO₂ helps the reactive intermediate to be deprotonated and because of solvation of reactive species this step would probably be rate determining. Bromination by molecular bromine is more sensitive to substituent effects in liquid SO₂ than in water. This result is ascribed to the +M effect of the methoxy group which increase the conjugation of ortho-substituted derivatives (p⁺_p = ?7.83; p⁺_o= ?10.47).     

Stabilité dans le méthanol et propriétés thermodynamiques de transfert des cryptates de certains cations de transition et de métaux lourds

Stability in Methanol and Thermodynamic Transfer Properties of the Cryptates of some Transition Cations and Heavy Metals The nature and stability of the macrocyclic and macrobicyclic complexes of Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ (Mⁿ⁺) with 21, 22, 211, 221 and 222 in anhydrous methanol 0.05M in Et₄N⁺ClO^?₄, at 25° (see Scheme) have been determined by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. Binuclear complexes M₂L²ⁿ⁺ have been observed in all cases, besides the mononuclear MLⁿ⁺ complexes. The macrobicyclic 1:1 complexes MLⁿ⁺ exhibit an important ‘cryptate effect’ with Mⁿ⁺=Ag⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺, but not with Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺; their stability is in all cases maximum with 221. The applicability to our results of the recent extrathermodynamic hypothesis involving MLⁿ⁺ cryptates is examined.     

Action de nucléophiles simples sur un bromoénurononitrile,précurseur et équivalent synthétique partiel d'un ynurononitrile

Reactions of Mononucleophiles with a Bromoenurononitrile, Precursor and Partial Synthetic Equivalent of an Ynurononitrile Several mononucleophiles (bases) have been reacted with one or the other of the geometrical isomers of the bromoenurononitrile 1. Depending on the nucleophile and the conditions, many different mechanistic pathways were followed, f. ex.: with OH^?, stereospecific elimination from (Z)- 1 leading to 2 , with N^?₃ and F^?, stereospecific E-A_N reactions leading from (Z)- 1 to (Z)- 8 and (Z)- 12 respectively, with PhCH₂SH, conjugate nucleophilic addition to 7, with Me₂NH, conjugate nucleophilic addition followed by a S_N2 to 11 , as well as several cases of nonstereoselective, probably A_N-E, reactions leading to 3,6,9 and 10. In spite of their diversified reactivity, bromoenurononitriles like 1 , partial synthetic equivalent of 2 , constitute useful synthetic intermediates.     

Relative rate constants for removal of vibrationally excited OH(X2πi)v=9 by some small molecules at room temperature

Vibrationally excited OH in v = 9 [designated OH^?(9)] was generated by the reaction of hydrogen atoms with ozone in a fast-flow discharge system at 300 ± 3 K and a total pressure of 1.1 ± 0.1 torr, with argon as the carrier gas. The addition of a species X, which can deactivate the OH^?(9) or react with it, led to a decrease in the Meinel band chemiluminescent emission intensities at both 626 nm (9 → 3 band) and 519 nm (9 → 2 band), which were monitored as a function of the concentration of X. Application of the kinetic scheme developed previously for this chemical system gave the relative rate constant for the removal of OH^?(9) by X. The relative rate constants determined in this study, taking O₂ as the reference deactivator (k = 1.0), are as follows: He ≤ 0.02; H₂ ≤ 0.05; SF₆ 0.09 ± 0.01; CF₄ 0.19 ± 0.01; N₂O 3.5 ± 0.4; NO 17.7 ± 1.5; H₂O 74.3 ± 2.9; D₂O 57.6 ± 2.0; NH₃ 61.3 ± 1.9; ND₃ 58.7 ± 1.6; SO₂ 7.1 ± 1.4; COS 8.4 ± 1.7; H₂S 33.7 ± 8.4; CH₄ 1.56 ± 0.03; CD₄ 1.06 ± 0.06. Application of these relative rate constants to conditions in the upper atmosphere (60–100 km) suggests that OH^?(9) is removed primarily by deactivation by O₂, and at altitudes ?90 km, possibly by O(³P). However, since O₂ is unusually efficient for a homonuclear diatomic in deactivating OH^?(9), it may not be the primary deactivator for the lower (v ≤ 8) vibrational levels. These results are compared to earlier studies of OH^?(9), and possible mechanisms of interaction of OH^?(9) with these molecules are discussed.     

Two mixed‐metal carboxyl­ate–base adducts

The crystal structures of hexa‐μ‐propionato‐1:2κ⁶O:O′;1:3κ⁶O:O′‐di­quinoline‐2κN,3κN‐calcium(II)­dizinc(II), [Ca­Zn₂(C₃H₅O₂)₆(C₉H₇N)₂], and hexa‐μ‐pivalato‐1:2κ⁶O:O′;1:3κ⁶O:O′‐di­quinoline‐2κN,3κN‐calcium(II)­dicobalt(II), [Ca­Co₂(C₅H₉O₂)₆(C₉H₇N)₂], are described. Both contain a linear array of one Ca^II ion and two M^II (M = Zn, Co) ions connected by two sets of three carboxyl­ate ligands in syn–syn bridging modes. The distorted tetrahedral geometry around the M^II ion is completed by a quinoline N atom. The central Ca^II ion occupies a crystallographic inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by six carboxyl O atoms in each structure. The Zn^II?Ca^II and Co^II?Ca^II distances are 3.8504 (9) and 3.7929 (5) Å, respectively.     

Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire en phase nématique. Exploration de la barrière d'empêchement à la libre rotation pour le fluorure d'acroyle et l'acroléine

The NMR spectrum of acrolein and acroyl fluoride (CH₂?CH? COX with X?H and F) oriented in a nematic phase has been measured and information about conformational equilibrium s-cis ? s-trans has been obtained. The barrier to internal rotation of the COX group has been studied with various hypotheses. Good agreement between experimental and calculated spectra has been obtained using the potential equation V(?) = Σ_nV_n(1 – cos n?)/2, with V₁ = ?200 cal mol^?1, V₂ = 1500 cal mol^?1 and V₃ = 400 cal mol^?1 for the fluorine compound, and V₁ = 1200 cal mol^?1, V₂ = 3000 cal mol^?1 and V₃ = 2000 cal mol^?1 for acrolein; this last compound is found to be mostly in the s-trans conformation.     

Réactions chimiques oscillantes. II. Comportement de la «période d'induction» dans les systémes BrO/Ce4+/Cyclohexanone et BrO/Ce4+/Cyclopentanone

Oscillating Chemical Reactions. 11. Behaviour of the “induction period” in the BrO /Ce⁴⁺/Cyclohexanon and BrO /Ce⁴⁺/Cyclopentanon systems

• (1) The addition of α-monobromoketone, one of the products of reaction of the BrO₃^?/Ce⁴⁺/Cyclohexanon (S1) and BrO₃^?/Ce⁴⁺/Cyclopentanon (S2) oscillating systems, decreases and even suppresses the induction period (τ_ind.) in the case of S2. Such is not the case with S1: τ_ind. increases and the oscillations can even be completely inhibited.
• (2) The order of addition of the reagents and the time lapse (t_adj.) preceding the addition of the last of them influences τ_ind., particularly when the last reagent added is Ce⁴⁺.
• (3) In our experimental conditions, the inhibition of the oscillatory phenomenon by Cl^? ions is definite only for | Cl^? | ≥ 5,0 · 10^?2M (S1) and |Cl^?| > 2,5 · 10^?3M (S2); for lower concentrations τ_ind. increases with | Cl^?|.

     

Etude de composés d'addition d'acides de Lewis. XXXVI [1] Composés d'addition de l'anthraquinone-9, 10 et de l'anthrone avec divers acides de Lewis

Solid stoichiometric adducts of 9, 10-anthraquinone with SbCl₅, ZrCl₄, TiCl₄ SnCl₄, AlCl₃, have been prepared. The very important lowering Δω of the IR. carbonyl frequency, ranging from ?175 cm^?1 for SbCl₅ to ?117 cm^?1 for SnCl₄, shows that the acceptor is linked by a dative bond to the carbonyl oxygen atom acting as a donor; an assignment of most of the fundamental IR. frequencies is proposed for anthraquinone and the mentioned adducts. Similar assignments and interpretation have been made for anthrone and its solid adduct with SbCl₅, ZrCl₄, TiCl₄, SnCl₄, AlCl₃ and ZnCl₂, where the C?O lowerings range from ?164 cm^?1 for SbCl₅ to ?97 cm^?1 for ZnCl₂.     

Nouveaux types de sucres acétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Novel types of acetylenic sugars The coupling, following Cadiot's procedure, of a 6-bromo-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidène-3-O-methyl-α-D -xylo-hex-5-yno-1, 4-furanose (1) with phenylacetylene, 2-propyn-1-ol or terminal acetylenic sugars gave with excellent yields the expected diynes (an enediyne when the terminal acetylene was the 3,5, 6-trideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -glycero-hex-3-en-5-yno-1,4-furanose 7 ). The chloro analogue 8 of 1 on treatment with lithium thiophenate gave the corresponding phenylthio-acetylenic sugar 9 . An acetylene was also formed by reacting the gem-difluoro-olefinic sugar 10 with butyllithium whereas the same olefinic sugar and its 3-O-benzyl analogue 11 gave only a gem-fluoro-arylthio-olefinic sugar (13–15) as a mixture of the Z and E isomers (Z/E > 4) when treated with the conjugate base of an arylmercaptan.     

Etude Conformationnelle par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire Protonique des Dérivés de la O-Isopropylidène-2′,3′ Adénosine

Conformational analysis using ¹H n.m.r. data (δ, ³J and NOE) has been carried out on several derivatives of 2′,3′,-O-isopropylideneadenosine bearing various substituents at positions C-5′, C-8 and N-6. Conformational modifications are assigned to specific interactions between the sugar and purine moieties and also to solvent effects.
