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.     

Diénamines hétérocycliques. III. Réexamen de la réaction de la base de Fischer avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Heterocyclic dienamines III. A re-examination of the reaction of Fischer's base on tetracyanoethylene Depending on the order of addition, Fischer's base 5 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-indoline) reacts 1:1 with tetracyanoethylene to give either the tricyanovinylation product 6 or the spiro compound 7 . A skeletal rearrangement of a zwitterionic intermediate can explain the formation of the spiro compound. The latter undergoes a thermal isomerization yielding by ring expansion the tetrahydroquinoléine 8 . On reaction with LiAlH₄ or CH₃ONa 7 and 8 lead both to triazatetracycles. All structures are assigned on the basis of spectral data.

Substitution directe de l'azote N-9 de la théophylline

In alkaline medium, 8-(2-chloroethyl)aminotheophylline (1) cyclizes into two imidazopurines: the imidazo[1,2-e]purine (2A) (cyclization on 9-N) and the imidazo[2,1-f]purine (2B) (cyclization on 7-N). The structure of each compound was determined by an unambiguous synthesis and confirmed by spectrographic methods. Synthesis of one pyrrlo[2,1-f]purine, a novel heterocycle, is described.     

Extension de la méthode du «logarithme limite» [1] pour la détermination de la composition et de la constante de stabilité des complexes

A study of the conditions of applicability to weak complexes of the relation log x = v log V + log (β_v,cC^c) = f(logV), where V and C are variable and constant total concentrations of the constituants of the complexe, shows that for conditions other than C ? V, another function φ(log V) accounts better for the formation equilibrium of the complexe. From f(log V) and φ (log V) a relation t(log V) is derived whose simple analysis permits the determination of the composition and the stability constant of weak complexes. Applications are given to 1:1, 1:2, 2:2 composition.     

Synthèse de nouvelles amidines bicycliques . Dérivés de la pyrimidine,de la quinazoline et de la diazépine-1,3

The synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-α] pyrimidines is described. Several homologous compounds contain pyridine or azepine instead of pyrrole ring. They are obtained by cyclization of iminolactams with β-ketoesters, αβ-unsaturated esters, aldehydes or ketones, or diketene. The possibility of obtaining isomers is discussed.     

Sur le mécanisme de la réaction de meth-cohn-tarnowski de préparation des thiocoumarines

Reaction of 2-t-butylthiobenzaldehyde with N-(2-dialkylaminoethyl)-cyanacetamides followed by heating of the resulting 3-(2-t-butylthiophenyl)-2-cyanoacrylamides in polyphosphoric acid leads to the formation of 3-carboxamido-2-imino-2H-benzo[b][l]thiopyrann intermediates which afford thiocoumarins on hydrolysis. The authors postulate the intermediate formation of a thiophenate ion by an electronic mechanism involving six centers.     

Sur la synthèse de quelques furochromènes,analogues pharmacochimiques de la xanthylétine et de la séseline

Some furochromenes substituted at the 2-position by an electron-attracting group were obtained starting from ortho-hydroxyformyl derivatives of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene following various processes which are indicated. These new furochromenes are pharmacochemical analogues of some natural pyranocoumarins, and as such they are potential photosensitizers.     

Régiospécificite et stéréosélectivite de la cycloaddition de l'oxyde de benzonitrile sur la phényl-5 A-3-pyrazoline

An example of stereospecific and stereoselective reactions is described concerning the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxyde with 1,2-dimethyl-5-diphenyl-3-pyrazoline. The structure of the two epimeric 5,6-dimethyl 3,4-dimethyl[4,3-d]pyrazolidinoisoxazo-lines-2 was proved by the means of chemical and physical methods. The conversion of one epimeric product to another more stable is achieved and discussed.     

Etude par RMN du Proton de la Stéréochimie de Composés Ethyléniques Trisubstitués. Calcul Empirique et Calcul par Incréments de la Constante d'Ecran

The Pascual and Tobey approaches for evaluating the chemical shift of an olefinic proton have been tentatively applied to the case of substituents which often cause difficulties in signal assignment. The empirically calculated values of the differential shielding between olefinic protons in both Z and E configurations are compared to the experimental values of the chemical shifts in a series of 2-arylpropene nitriles. The Z configuration is proved to correspond to the less shielded nucleus and the observed solvent effects are consistent with this assignment. When the Z configuration predominates its nature has been unambiguously established by studying also the corresponding E isomer of which a very small quantity could be isolated. The results offer a good way for the computation of new substituent additive parameters (NH₂, OH, ONa).     

Action d'organolithiens sur la méthyl-2 quinoxaline. Etude de la réactivité des adduits

The action of organolithium reagents such as phenyllithium or n-bulyllithium on 2-methylquinoxaline gave lithiation of the methyl group which upon reaction with electtropholesphiles produce side chain alkenyl derivatives. On the other hand organolithium reagents react with the quinoxaline azomethine bond to give I-lithio-2-alkyl)or ary-1)-3 methylquinoxalines which can be further loithiated on the methyl group to give 2-alkyl(or aryl)-3-alkenylquinoxaline derivatives. The adducts can be condensed with clectrophiles such as benzonitrile or methlyl benzoate but only methyl benzoate leads to N condensed derivatives. Furthermore substituted 1,2,3,4-terahydroqinoxalines are available via the above lithio intermediates.     

Isolement de nouveaux complexes de zinc de dipyrrométhènes formés au cours de la synthèse de la méso-tétramésitylporphyrine par la réaction de Rothemund

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).

A gas-chromatographic investigation of black tea aroma has revealed, besides 19 known components, the presence of 4 new substances: 1-penten-3-ol, trans-2-hexen-1-ol, α-terpineol and β-ionone. The fragmentation pattern of 1-penten-3-ol has been determined by means of high resolution mass spectrography.     

Sur la Stoechiométrie de la Variété Allotropique γ de Bi2O3

On the Stoichiometry of the Allotropic Variation γ-Bi₂O₃ The study of the solid solutions Bi₁₂[BBi□_1/5]O₂₀ (B^+V = As, V) with 0 ? x ? 0,80 leads for x = 0,77 to a phase whose cubic centered symmetry and parameter (10.255 Å) correspond to those previously announced for γ-Bi₂O₃. The présence of impurities seems required to obtain such a phase whose theoretical stoichiometry should be Bi₁₂[Bi□_1/5]O₂₀ i. e. Bi₂O_3,125.     

Polymérisation anionique de l'isoprène: Nature de la paire d'ions et stéréospécificité. II. Influence de la nature du solvant

The present work reports some new results on the dependence between the stereospecificity of the anionic propagation of isoprene and the nature of the active centers. The stereospecificity of the propagation of macroheterobicylce separated ion pairs does not depend on the nature of the alkali counterions, and the microstructure of the polyisoprenes obtained does not differ from that of those produced by free ions. Variations in the microstructure were observed in the propagation of contact ion pairs, depending on the nature of the cation and the solvent used. These variations are likely to be related to the degree of intimacy of the contact ion pairs. There are two main factors which affect the stereospecificity of the propagations in different ways: the size of the cation and the donating power of the solvent. Finally, the external solvation of the propagation ions pairs was confirmed by the microstructure of polyisoprenes synthesized in mixed (inert + donor) solvents.     

Influence de la Température et de la Présence des Ions Etrangers sur la Cinétique et le Mécanisme de Formation de la Goethite en Milieu Aqueux

Effect of Temperature and Presence of Foreign Ions on the Kinetics and Mechanism of the Goethite Formation in Liquid Phase We studied the influence of temperature and addition of some foreign ions on the kinetics of transformation of the goethite in sulfate medium by slow air bubbling. The temperature up to 70°C does not influence the kinetics of oxidation; this proves that the transfer of oxygen taken place through the liquid phase. Manganese and colbalt cations impede the formation and the growth of αFeOOH crystallites. Citrate and phosphate anions both hinder this transformation.     

Quelques réactions nuclé ophiles et électrophiles de la thiéno[2,3-b]pyrazine. Comparaison de sa réactivite avec celles de thiéno diazines et de la thiényl-2 pyrazine dans le cas de la nitration

Détermination de la configuration de glycosylaziridines par dichroïsme circulaire. Note de laboratoire

CD.-Based Configurational Assignments of Glycosylaziridines The relationship between CD.-curves and the configuration of the trans-2-benzoyl-3-phenylaziridines was known. By studying a series of cis- and trans-2-glycosyl-3-benzoylaziridines we have shown that CD. allows the assignment of the configuration at both asymetric C-atoms. As benzoylaziridines can easily be obtained from cyano- or alkoxycarbonylaziridines without configurational change, the absolute configuration of these last two classes of compounds can also be assessed by this method.     

Recherches dans la série de la quinoléine: Préparation et oxydation du chlorhydrate de (1-quinoléinio)acétate

Reaction of quinoline with chloroacetic acid yields N-carboxymethyl-quinolinium chloride ( 1 ) (75%), which is oxidised by K₃Fe(CN)₆ in the presence of a base to N-carboxymethyl- 2 -quinolone ( 2 ) (70%). If 2 is heated in pure form at 300°, 1,3-Bis(2-quinolon-1-yl)acetone ( 4 ) (43%) is obtained; the expected N-methyl-2-quinolone ( 5 ) is formed by decarboxylation of 2 in benzyl benzoate at 275° (34%).
