Ozonolysis of Alkenes and Studies of Reactions of Polyfunctional Compounds: LXV. Ozonolysis of Perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113

Ozonization of perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113 yields the corresponding ozonide whose catalytic hydrogenation over Pd/C or hydride reduction leads to formation of perfluoroheptanoic acid; the reduction with lithium aluminum hydride gives 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-tridecafluoro-1-heptanol. Ozonization of perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113 containing excess (3 equiv) alcohol affords the corresponding perfluoroheptanoic acid ester.     

Ozonolysis of bis-endo-diacylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes in dichloromethane-methanol

Ozonolysis of bis-endo-diacylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes 3a-d at −78 °C in dichloromethane-methanol gave the hydroperoxides 6a-d in 70-80% yields. Ozonolysis of bis-endo-diacetylbicyclo[2.2.2]octene 15 and bis-endo-diacetyl-7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptene 16 under the same reaction conditions gave the hydroperoxides 17 and 18, respectively. The intramolecular sequential nucleophilic addition of the carbonyl groups to the carbonyl oxide group was observed for the first time and was found to be faster than the intermolecular nucleophilic addition of a methanol molecule to the carbonyl oxide group. Ozonolysis of compound 23 in CH₂Cl₂-MeOH at −78 °C followed by reduction with Me₂S gave compounds 24 and 25, in which the stereochemistry of the methoxyl groups was determined by X-ray analysis.     

Thermal behaviour of transition metal complexes of dithiocarbazic esters. II

A thermal study (simultaneous TG and DTA measurements) was carried out on the dithiocarbazic ester complexes M[N³CH₂R₁N²C¹(S)SCH₃]₂, where M=Ni, Pt; R₁=C₆H₅. The following disproportionation reaction occurs in the solid state: II is formed through deprotonation of the CH₂ group bound to N³, whereas III is formed through protonation of N³.The influence of inductive and/or steric effects on the mechanism of this reaction is discussed, taking into account the electrochemical and X-ray data on the complexes Pt[NRNC(S)SR']₂ with differentR substituents: R=H, Ph, CH₂Ph, CH₂C₅H₁₁, CH(CH₃)₂, C(CH₃)₃; R=CH₃, CH₂Ph.These results accord with the behaviour of the same complexes in solution.

The catalytic system [(Cp2TiCl)2]:LiAlH4 in aromatic solvents,Part II. Formation of η3-allyltitanocene derivatives in the presence of dienes — their structure and e.s.r. spectra

Summary The addition of dienes to the system [(Cp₂TiCl)₂] LiAlH₄toluene changes the system so that the complex [Cp₂TiAlH₄] is quantitatively formed instead of a titanocene hydride — aluminium hydride cluster. The complex [Cp₂TiAlH₄] is further converted into ³-allyltitanocene derivatives ([Cp₂TiA]) if the diene structure is suitable for formation of stable [Cp₂TiA] compounds and if the equilibrium [Cp₂TiAlH₄]+diene[Cp₂TiA]+A1H₃ is shifted towards the formation of [Cp₂TiA] by the excess of diene. All the compounds [Cp₂TiA] exhibit high-resolution e.s.r. spectra at g=1.993, showing interaction of the unpaired electron with the cyclopentadienyl and ³-allyl protons. The e.s.r. spectra clearly reveal the presence of alkyl substituents atsyn-1,3-positions of ³-allyl ligand, and show a triplet of multiplets for (³-allyl)titanocene, doublets of multiplets for (1-alkyl-³-allyl)titanocenes and single multiplets for (1,3-dialkyl-³-allyl)-titanocenes. thermal isomerization of (1,3-dimethyl-³-allyl)-titanocene and (1-methyl-3-ethyl-³-allyl)titanocene, hitherto considered as the stable Cp₂TiA compounds, into (1-alkyl-³-allyl)titanocenes was confirmed by e.s.r. and electronic absorption spectroscopy as well as by chemical means.     

High precision retention time measurements in gas chromatography. I. A simple differentiating time printer for large sample sizes

Summary A differentiating time printer (DTP) apparatus has been constructed from standard laboratory equipment by connecting a differentiating CR circuit via an operational amplifier to an electronic temperature regulator that triggers the print out of a line frequency driven register. The electronic resolution is 0.1 s, giving a relative standard deviation _rel, which is determined by the stability of the line frequency at sufficiently long retention times. In Lund this corresponds to a best _rel = 0.02% and to a mean _rel = 0.03%. For late and broad peaks in real GC the noise caused the print-out of extra time values, especially with fronting peaks from ordinary 1/8 columns. However, a comparison with the simultaneously recorded chromatograms was generally sufficient to pick out the proper retention times. For large sample sizes the corrected retention time t increased with peak height, the later the peak in the chromatogram. The In t _n+1 /t _n values from a series of n-paraffins showed good linear correlations with peak height h_n+1 and peak area A_n+1, giving standard deviations around the line approaching that expected from _rel. The accuracy of the system was mainly determined by the effect of a non-zero triggering level on the derived signal and by the time displacement expected from a large time constant. A rough estimate of the time error was made by simulating GC peaks with a cosine wave generator.     

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXVII. Structure of Cycloexoside B

Another seven components from the roots of Astragalus exilis A.Kor. (Leguminosae) were identified using spectral data and chemical transformations. A triterpenoid of genin nature was identical to cyclosiversigenin. One compound of glycosidic nature turned out to be a new cycloartane glycoside called by us cycloexoside B of structure 20R,24S-epoxycycloartan-3,6,16,25-tetraol 3-O--D-(2-Oacetyl) xylopyranoside. Five glycosides were identified as cyclosiversigenin 3-O--D-xylopyranoside and cyclosiversiosides B, C, D, and G.     

A concise representation of adsorbate-surface interactions. I. Formulation and model calculation for adsorption of Co on Cu(100) surface

A method is presented to clarify the concepts of the chemisorptive bonds among many chemisorptive interactions. The eigenfunctions of the system are transformed into new orbitals, and the chemisorptive interactions are represented in terms of a few transformed orbitals. To show the usefulness of the present method, the adsorption of CO on the Cu(100) surface is examined within the CNDO/2 approximation. The donation and the type interaction is clearly visualized, and the information of the spatial extent of the chemisorptive interactions is also obtained.

One-Pot,Two-Step Direct Conversion of Alkenes to Amines Through Tandem Ozonolysis and Ammonia-Borane in Water

An efficient, one-pot, two-step reductive amination of alkenes through tandem ozonolysis using ammonia-borane as a reducing agent is described. The reaction has been carried out in water. This is a highly efficient and mild procedure that is applicable to a wide variety of amine substrates. In particular, this is the first successful manifestation that this type of reaction can be carried out in water with ammonia-borane.

Suppressed Particle Formation by Kinetically Controlled Ozone Removal: Revealing the Role of Transient‐Species Chemistry during Alkene Ozonolysis

The new approach of kinetically controlled ozone removal suppresses particle formation in laboratory ozonolysis experiments for methylcyclohexene and methylenecyclohexane (MCHa) at excess alkene concentrations (see graph). The results support the hypothesis that peroxy radicals are involved in organic nucleation and particle‐growth mechanisms.

A one-pot reactions sequence was performed: alkene oxidation with ozone → reduction to a carbonyl compound with hydroxylamine → condensation of the carbonyl compound with hydroxylamine providing a possibility of direct transformation of alkenes in keto- and aldoximes excluding the stage of preparation and isolation of the carbonyl compound.
