Analyse Conformationnelle par RMN du Proton des Oxo-2 Oxathiazannes-1,2,3 (Sulfinamates Cycliques) Diversement Substitués en 3, 4 et 6

In this study, carried out with 16 compounds, the chair form with an axial S?O group (CA) is found, in the absence of C-4, C-5 and C-6 substituents, to be the most stable (ΔG>8,4 kJ mole^?1), as previously reported for analogous cyclic sulfites. When methyl or tert-butyl substituents are present on the 4 and 6 carbon atoms, the conformation of the ring depends on their respective orientation towards the S?O group, and on the nature of the substituent of the nitrogen atom. For the trans isomers, the conformation remains anancomeric chair (CA) except when important gauche interactions exist: thus the strong Me/tBu gauche interaction in the 3-tert-butyl-4-t-methyl-2-r-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazan induces a twist form with a 3,6-axis and an axial S?O group (CNA). When the 4- or 6-substituent is cis, the conformation of the sulfinamate may be either a chair form with an axial S?O group (CA), if the 4-substituent is a methyl, (even with a tert-butyl group in the 3-position which would be in the axial orientation) or a twist form with a 1,4-axis and an axial S?O group (COA) if the 4-substituent is a tert-butyl. Unlike cyclic sulfites, the equatorial SO chair form (CE) and the twist forms with a 2,3-axis and an isoclinal S?O group (CS, CS′) are rarely involved.     

Interactions intramoléculaires: XXIII—Constantes de couplage et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (cyclohexanones disubstituées 3, 4)

The ¹H NMR spectra of a series of cis and trans-3R,4 X-cyclohexanones (-2,2,6,6-d₄) are analysed. By comparison of their ³J coupling constants with those of cyclohexane homologues we obtain information about the chair–chair equilibrium constants for R = CH₃, X = CN, the chair structure of cis isomers with an equatorial t-butyl group, and a conformational heterogeneity with trans (CH₃)₃C and CN groups. This latter situation is analysed by means of a simplified but controlled Karplus relationship, on the basis of a mixture of two conformers; this involves a diequatorial chair and a boat form with a dihedral angle Φ₃₄ of about ?6°.     

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.     

Déplacements Chimiques induits en RMN par un Réactif Lanthanidique: II—Analyse Conformationnelle de Sulfinamates Cycliques: Oxo-2 Oxathiazannes-1,2,3 et Oxo-2 Benzo-5,6 Dihydro-3,4 Oxathiazines-1,2,3

Re-examination of recent results in the literature about 2-r-substituted 5-c-tert-butyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes and 3,3-dimethyl-1-oxothiethan made us select, under the indicated conditions, the static model because it is easier to use than the dynamic one. Its application to 17 cyclic sulphinamates belonging to two series—the 2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazans (I) and the 5,6-benzo-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazins (II)—confirms, in the presence of Eu(fod)₃, the structures established without the shift reagent, from chemical shifts and coupling constants only, and shows their conformational diversity. For the series (I) the following conformations are found: (i) standard chairs with an axial S?O group (CA) when the molecule is not substituted in the 4 and 6 positions or when the substituents are equatorial (with the exception of 3-tert-butyl-4-t-methyl-2-r-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazan); the substituents R?Me, iPr or tBu on the nitrogen atom are preferentially axial; (ii) strained chairs with axial Me-4 and S?0 groups (CA); in this conformation R?Ph may be partially conjugated and R?Me or tBu may prefer the more favourable axial orientation; (iii) twist conformations with a 1,4-axis and an axial S?O group (COA) for the two 4-c,6-c- and 4-t,6-c-di-tert-butyl-2-r-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2,3-oxathiazans; (iv) the twist conformation with a 3,6-axis and an axial S?O group (CNA) for trans-3-tert-butyl-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazan because of the 4-methyl—3-tert-butyl 1,2-interaction. For the series (II) half-chair forms with an axial S?O group are proposed.     

Sur la Similitude des Déformations du Noyau Cyclohexanonique Induites par les Groupes Tertiobutyle et gem-Diméthyle

X-ray and NMR (250 MHz) data for chlorinated 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanones lead to the following conclusions: carbonyl and chlorine substituent effects on ²J and ³J coupling constants are similar to those observed for 4-tert-butylcyclohexanones. In other respects, the gem dimethyl and the tert-butyl groups induce on the ring similar large ⁴J coupling constants (H-3′? C-3? C-4? C-5? H-5′); the results can be interpreted in terms of local gemoetric deformations and additivity of these deformations. The determination of dihedral angles by Lambert's method and from X-ray data shows the identity of the structures in the solid state and the dissolved state and confirms the great structural similarity between 4-tert-butyl- and 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanone derivatives.     

Synthèse de spiro-pyrazolines par cycloaddition du diazométhane sur des sucres insaturés ramifiés. Influence de l'isomérie géométrique sur l'orientation de la réaction Communication préliminaire

The orientation of the cycloaddition of diazomethane on unsaturated branchedchain sugars has been studied. For 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-tetrofuranose the orientation was ‘normal’ and did not depend on the configuration at the double bond. The same situation prevailed with derivatives of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose. For the 3-C-acylmethylidene- and the 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo-hexofuranoses, the trans-(H–C(3′)–C(2))-isomer gave the ‘normal’ cycloadduct whereas the cis-isomer gave predominantly the αabnormal spiro-pyrazoline. This observation represents the first instance where the regioselectivity of a cycloaddition reaction is affected by the geometrical isomerism of the dipolarophile. The most probable explanation of the phenomenon is the conformational perturbation about the C(4)--C(5) bond of the unsaturated sugars induced by a change in the configuration at C(3). The consequence of that ‘conformational transmission’ of a difference in configuration at C(3) is that the steric crowding on the cis- than in the trans-isomer. Several novel examples of a new series of C-glycosylidenic derivatives, the spiro-pyrazolines, are described.     

Interactions intramoléculaires—XIX: Constantes de couplage vicinales, équilibres conformationnels et interactions gauches (séries cyclohexanique et cyclohexénique)

NMR parameters are determined and identified for the four stereoisomers of 3,4-dimethyl methoxycarbonylcyclohexane (d₃-2,2,3,4,5,5), the two stereoisomers of 2-methyl methoxycarbonylcyclohexane (d₅-2,3,4,5,5) and 3-methyl 4-X cyclohexene (d₃-3,6,6) (X = COOCH₃, CH₂OH, CH₂Cl). For the axial COOCH₃ substituted cyclohexane, the vicinal coupling constants are in agreement with the ring deformation. Different conformational equilibria are estimated and discussed, especially in relation to the inequality of gauche interactions between two cis vicinal substituents.     

Total synthesis of 2-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide (Tiazofurin) and of precursors of ribo-C-nucleosides

(1R,2S,4R)-2-Cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl (1S′)-camphanate ( 5 ) was transformed into (?)-methyl 2,5-anhydro-3,4,6-O-tris[(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl]-D -allonate ( 2 ), (+)-1,3-diphenyl-2-{2′,3′,5′-O-tris[(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl]-β-D -ribofuranosyl}imidazolidine ( 3 ), and the benzamide 20 of 1-amino-2,5-anhydro-1-deoxy-3,4,6-O-tris-[((tert-butyl)dimethylsily)]-D -allitol. Compound 2 was converted efficiently into optically active tiazofurin ( 1 ).     

II. Etude de l'Influence de la Nature et de l'Orientation d'un Substituant (Cl,CO) sur les Déplacements Chimiques en Série Tertiobutyl-4 Cyclohexanonique par RMN Protonique à Haut Champ

From the 250 MHz ¹H n.m.r. spectra of seven α-chloro-4-tert-butlyclyclohexanones we were able to obtain the increments ΔδCI eq and ax for all the ring protons. Using values published by Jackman for the increments of the tert-butyl group we attempt to determine the increments of the carbonyl group.     

Sels de Pyrylium. XVIII. Etude par RMN du Carbone-13 de Sels d'Aminopyrylium et des Barrières de Rotation dans quelques Cations N,N-Diméthylaminopyrylium

The C-2—N bond of 2-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations has a partial π character due to the conjugation of the nitrogen lone-pair with the ring. The values of ΔG^≠, ΔH^≠, ΔS^≠ parameters related to the corresponding hindered rotation have been determined by ¹³C NMR total bandshape analysis. This conjugation decreases the electrophilic character of carbon C-4 so that the displacement of the alkoxy group is no longer possible. Such a hindered rotation also exists in 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations and the corresponding ΔG^≠ parameters have been evaluated. Comparison of these two cationic species shows that hindered rotation around the C—N bond is larger in position 4 than in position 2. Furthermore, the barrier to internal rotation around the C-2? N bond decreases with increasing electron donating power of the substituent at position 4. ΔG^≠ values decreases from 19.1 kcal mol^?1 (79.9 kJ mol^?1) to 12.6 kcal mol^?1 (52.7 kJ mol^?1) according to the following sequence for the R-4 substituents: -C₆H₅, -CH₃, -OCH₃, -N(CH₃)₂.     

Application de la réaction de Wittig à la synthèse de dérivés de bromoénosuloses et d'esters bromoénuroniques. Note de laboratoire

Use of the Wittig reaction for the synthesis of derivatives of bromoenosuloses and bromoenuronic esters Treatment of 3-O-benzyl (or 3-O-methyl)-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -xylo-pentodialdo-1, 4-furanoses ( 2 or 1 ) with acetylbromomethylidenetriphenylphosphorane ( 3 ), benzoylbromomethylidenetriphenylphosphorane ( 4 ) or bromoethoxycarbonylmethylidenetriphenylphosphorane ( 5 ) gave in good to excellent yields the expected enose ( 6--11 ). In all cases but one ( 8 where some 10% of the E-isomer was formed) the reaction led to the exclusive formation of the Z-isomer whose configuration was established by NMR.     

The conformation of t-butyl 2-methoxy-5, 6-dihydro-2 H-pyran-6-carboxylates and 6,6′- disubstituted 2-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran derivatives on the basis of 1H and 13 C NMR spectra

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of trans- and cis-tert-butyl 2-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-6-carboxylates (1 and 2) and 6,6′-disubstituted 2-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans (3-7) have been recorded. HH and CH coupling constants are discussed in terms of the ¹H₆?⁶H₁ conformational equilibrium. It has been found that 1 occurs exclusively in the ¹H₆ conformation, whereas its cis isomer, 2, exists in an equilibrium of both half-chair forms. 6,6′-Disubstituted 2-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans 3-6 display spectral and conformational behaviour similar to that of 1, whereas 7 resembles 2 in this respect.     

Interactions intramoléculaires. XXVII—Etudes structurales en série bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanique (effets d'anisotropie sur les déplacements chimiques du proton; constantes de couplage et équilibres conformationnels)

All the ¹H n.m.r. parameters of the following derivatives of 1,6-dimethylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane are determined: 3,4-dimethoxycarbonyl (3 diastereoisomers), cis- and trans-3-methoxycarbonyl-2,2,5,5-d₄, cis- and trans-3-methyl-3-methoxycarbonyl; the cis- and trans-1,5,5-trimethylbicyclo[4.1.0]-3-heptanols are studied in the same way. The different chemical shifts are correlated with the aid of a collection of empiral increments. The conformational equilibria are determined from the vicinal coupling constants; the conformational free energies of the COOCH₃ group are evaluated; the part played by gauche interactions is considered.     

Heat capacities and thermodynamic properties of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl 1-phenylethylcarbamate

An N-tert-butyloxycarbonylated organic synthesis intermediate, (S)-tert-butyl 1-phenylethylcarbamate, was prepared and investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The molar heat capacities of (S)-tert-butyl 1-phenylethylcarbamate were precisely determined by means of adiabatic calorimetry over the temperature range of 80-380 K. There was a solid–liquid phase transition exhibited during the heating process with the melting point of 359.53 K. The molar enthalpy and entropy of this transition were determined to be 29.73 kJ mol⁻¹ and 82.68 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ based on the experimental C _p–T curve, respectively. The thermodynamic functions, [H_T⁰ - H_298.15⁰ H_{T}^{0} - H_{298.15}^{0} ] and [S_T⁰ - S_298.15⁰ S_{T}^{0} - S_{298.15}^{0} ], were calculated from the heat capacity data in the temperature range of 80–380 K with an interval of 5 K. TG experiment showed that the pyrolysis of the compound was started at the temperature of 385 K and terminated at 510 K within one step.     

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.     

Conformation et Spectrometrie de RMN. III. Spectres 13C de Diméthylamino Cyclanols et Dérivés

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-dimethylaminocyclohexanols and the four trans-3-dimethylamino-2-decahydronaphtols are described. The gauche interactions allow precise estimation of chemical shifts for each carbon atom; thus, band attribution can be resolved without mistake. In the case of the cis and the trans diequatorial compounds, the conformational perturbations which we have suggested before are verified by our present measurements on the substituted carbon atoms. We also show effects on adjacent atoms, which were unobservable with the usual IR and ¹H NMR techniques.     

The electronic effects of substituents at the acyl carbon in the gas-phase elimination kinetics of tert-butyl α-substituted acetates

The gas-phase eliminations of several tert-butyl esters, in a static system and in vessels seasoned with allyl bromide, have been studied in the temperature range of 171.5–280.1°C and the pressure range of 23–98 torr. The rate coefficients for the homogeneous unimolecular elimination of these esters are given by the following Arrhenius equations: for tert-butyl pivalate, log k₁(s^?1) = (13.44 ± 0.30) ? (169.1 ± 3.1) kJ · mol^?1 (2.303RT)^?1; for tert-butyl trichloroacetate, log k₁(s^?1) = (12.41 ± 0.08) ? (141.1 ± 0.7) kJ · mol^?1 (2.303RT)^?1; and for tert-butyl cyanoacetate log k₁(s^?1) = (11.31 ± 0.44) ? (137.8 ± 4.1) kJ · mol^?1 (2.303RT)^?1. The data of this work together with those reported in the literature yield a good linear relationship when plotting log k/k₀ vs. σ* values (ρ* = 0.635, correlation coefficient r = 0.972, and intercept = 0.048 at 250°C). The positive ρ* value suggests that the movement of negative charge to the acyl carbon in the transition state is rate determining. The present results along with previous investigations ratify the generalization that electron-withdrawing substituents at the acyl side of ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl esters enhance the elimination rates, while electron-releasing groups tend to reduce them. The negative nature of the acyl carbon and the polarity in the transition state increases slightly from primary to tertiary esters.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore non stabilisés en chimie des sucres VI. Sucres ramifiés dérivés des di-O-isopropylidène-1,2:5,6-α-D-ribo-et-α-D-xylo-hexofurannosul-3-oses

The cis and trans isomers of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylthiomethylene-α-D -xylo- and -α-D -ribo-hexofuranoses have been prepared by treatment of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -xylo- and -α-D -ribo-hexofuran-3-uloses with methylthiomethylene-triphenylphosphorane. Configurations are assigned by NMR. A new type of ⁴J is described. Hydrogenation-desulfurization of the methylthiovinylic sugars affords 3-deoxy-3-methyl sugars of the D -allo, D -gulo, and D -galacto series. Derivatives of 3-deoxy-3-methyl-D -lyxose and 3-deoxy-3-methyl-D -ribose are prepared by chain-shortening of derivatives of the corresponding 3-deoxy-3-methyl-hexoses.     

Interactions intramoleculaires. XXI—Constantes de couplage et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (molécules cyclohexaniques deutériées)

Different isotopic modifications of deuterated products of 1-t-butlyl-4-methoxycarbonyl cyclohexene (d₄-3,3,6,6), cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-cyanocyclohexene (d₃-3,6,6), cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-cyanocyclohexene (d₃,6,6), cis- and trans-3-t-butyl-4-methoxycarbonylcyclohexene (d₃,-3,6,6) are shown by nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. By comparison of ³J and ⁴J coupling constants of model molecules and molecules with large gauche interactions, we obtain proof that the latter are in a chair conformation with moderate cycle deformations.
