Synthèse de composés comportant deux hétérocycles oxygénés accoles au noyau benzénique, éthers du résorcinol

We wish to report the preparation of new bisheterocyclic compounds derived from resoreinol. We tried to sue methods during this investigation which would be selective and afford only tricyclic linear compounds. The starting material was resorcinol or the monomethylether of resorcinol. By reaction with chloroacetonitrile, acrylonitrile or ethyl chlorobutanoate, we obtained the intermediate compounds which were then cyclized by reaction with sodium acetate or polyphosphoric acid; either a catalytic reduction or treatment with zinc in presence of hydrochloric acid furnished the heterocyclic base. Another condensation followed by a cyclization and a reduction gave the desired compounds.

Sugar Free Radicals. VIII. Spin-Labeled Nucleosides Analogs A series of 5′-deoxy-5′-hydroxylamino derivatives of adenosine and uridine have been prepared by reduction of the corresponding oxime or nitrone. ‘Second generation’ 3′-deoxy-3′-N-aryl(or N-alkyl) hydroxylamino-β-D -xylofuranosyluracils have also been synthesized by a one-pot reaction including the following elementary steps: deblocking of the starting material, reduction of the 3′-deoxy-3′-oximinouridine, condensation of the resulting hydroxylamine with an aldehyde, reduction of the nitrone formed. The deoxy-hydroxylaminonucleosides oxidized spontaneously in the air (or in presence of traces of PbO₂) to give the corresponding nitroxide free radicals, ESR spectra of which furnished useful informations on their structures. Some of these modified nucleosides bore notable cytotoxic or antiviral activities.     

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.     

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.     

Dérivés C-glycosyliques. VII. Synthèse et réactions de nitrones dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The syntheses of three types of sugar nitrones (aldonitrone, ketonitrone and α-β unsaturated aldonitrone) are described. On 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, the aldonitrone gave two Δ₄-isoxazolines epimeric at the new asymetric carbon, while the same reaction on the ketonitrone led to a spiro-Δ₄-isoxazoline. The reaction of these nitrones with carbon nucleophiles like phenylethynylmagnesium bromide constitutes a novel chain-extension reaction in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Etudes sur les composés organométalliques. X [1]. Action d'organomagnésiens sur la benzophénone

Various Grignard reagents and their diorganomagnesium complexes with ether or pyridine have been reacted with benzophenone, using different mole ratios and orders of addition. Analysis of the reaction products has provided information as to probable reaction mechanisms of addition and reduction. A monomeric diorganomagnesium reagent, favoured either by addition of the reagent to the ketone or by complexation of the reagent with pyridine, enhances if possible the reduction reaction.     

Synthesis and reactions of a monosubstituted dithiirane 1-oxide, 3-(9-triptycyl)dithiirane 1-oxide

A 3-monosubstituted dithiirane 1-oxide, 3-(9-triptycyl)dithiirane 1-oxide, was prepared for the first time, by the reaction of (9-triptycyl)diazomethane and S₈O. The dithiirane 1-oxide was obtained as cis- and trans-isomers, and the structure of the trans-isomer was verified by X-ray crystallography. The cis-isomer isomerized gradually to the trans-isomer in solution. The divalent sulfur atom of the cis- and trans-dithiirane 1-oxides were removed on treatment with triphenylphosphine to give the corresponding Z- and E-sulfines, respectively. The reaction of the trans-dithiirane 1-oxide with (Ph₃P)₂Pt(C₂H₄) provided the (sulfenato-thiolato)Pt^II complex, and that with Lawesson's reagent yielded the 1,3,4,2-trithiaphospholane and 1,2,4,5,3-tetrathiaphosphorinane derivatives.     

Enaminosucres et sucres halogénoacétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Enamino- and Halogenoacetylenic sugars Traitment of an aldehydosugar ( 1 ) with secondary amines gave in an essentially quantitative yield the expected enamines ( 4–6 ). Chloro- and bromo-acetylenic sugars ( 11–14 ) were obtained in good yields by reacting with lithium methylphenylamide the corresponding gem-dihalo-olefinic sugars ( 7–10 ), whereas a Z-gem-fluoro-enamine ( 17 ) was formed when the difluoro-olefinic sugar 15 was submitted to the same reaction. The fluoro-enamine 17 is a useful synthetic intermediate allowing the preparation of several kinds of C-glycosylic compounds bearing heterocycles like isoxazole, chromone or coumarin.     

Catalyseurs Zieger-Natta supportés sur MgCl2 pour la polymérisation stéréorégulée du propène. II. Système catalytique simple: Solide binaire MgCl2-TiCl4 et solution cocatalytique triéthylaluminium,benzoate d'ethyle

The kinetics of propene polymerization in heptane slurry at 1–4 bars was studied with a catalytic system that consisted of a solid catalyst prepared by adsorption of TiCI₄ on pure porous MgCl₂ (by dehydrating MgCl₂, 6 H₂O with thionyl chloride) and a cocatalytic, heptanic solution of ethylbenzoate (BE) and triethylaluminium (TEA). At a temperature approaching 60°C/polymerization began immediately after the introduction of the monomer. The polymerization rate decreased continuously during the reaction. The loss in activity, however, was not due to a diffusional effect (e.g., blocking of the catalyst by the growing polymer). Studies of the ageing of the catalytic system showed a deactivation of the catalytic system itself as a function of the time of contact between the catalyst and the cocatalyst. The product of the thermal decomposition of the complex 1:2 formed by the reaction of BE with TEA was not associated with the deactivation process or stereospecific control, which depend on the BE/AI ratio and the presence of the complex.     

Hétérocyclisation intramoléculaire par réaction d'oxymercuration. II. Oxymercuration intramolécuxlaire des allyl-2 cyclohexanols cis et trans

The intramolecular oxymercuration of two isomeric 2-allyl-cyelohexanols, has been realized with different mercuric salts. The reaction is always regiospecific, but not stereoselective, and leads to five membered mercurated heterocyclic. The reduction of organomercury compounds obtained from trans-2-allylcyclo-hexanol leads, in some cases, to a ring rearrangement, that permit us to obtain from the trans cyclised product, under different conditions either pyran or furan compounds.     

Etudes sur les composés organométalliques. XVII. Synthèse du tétracyclohexyltitane

Studies of Organometallic Compounds. XVII Synthesis of Tetracyclohexyltitanium Tetracyclohexyltitanium is prepared by reaction of TiCl₄ or Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ with dicyclohexylmagnesium in pentane or ether at - 30°. Some aspects of its reactivity and its decomposition are described.     

Dérivés de désoxy-hydroxylamino-sucres et radicaux libres diglycosylnitroxydes correspondants. Communication préliminaire

Deoxy-hydroxylamino-sugar Derivatives and Corresponding Diglycosylnitroxides Radicals A number of sugar aldonitrones, including C,N-diglycosylnitrones, and ketonitrones have been treated with Grignard reagents or cyanide anion leading to the corresponding deoxy-hydroxylamino-sugars. On oxidation (air, H₅IO₆ or PbO₂), these compounds gave the corresponding nitroxide radicals whose ESR. spectra are reported. Analogues of disaccharides, in which the interglycosidic O-bridge is replaced by a hydroxyimino group, have been obtained by reacting a partially blocked sugar bearing a free hemiacetal group either with a deoxy-hydroxylaminosugar or with hydroxylamine, followed by reaction with an aldehydosugar and a reducing agent (NaBH₄). These reactions represents the key synthetic steps for the oligosaccharide-type synthesis of deoxy-hydroxyimino-oligosaccharides. Their oxidation yielded the corresponding nitroxide radicals whose ESR. spectra gave information on the conformation about the ‘interglycosidic’ bridge. This type of compounds should constitute useful spin markers for biological studies.     

Structure du méthyl-3 phénylamino-4 phényl-5 triazole-1,2,4

The crystal structure or 3-methyl-4-phenylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole has been determined by X-ray diffraction. It allows one to choose between the two reaction mechanisms which can be taken into account for the reaction of hydrazine upon N-acylated hydrezonates.     

Reactivité de composés carbonylés avec des cétènes en présence d'alkoxydes de titane ou de zirconium. 3e communication

Reactivity of Carbonyl Compounds with Ketenes in the Presence of Titanium or Zirconium Alkoxides The reaction of ketene or dimethylketene with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of titanium or zirconium alkoxides gives essentially β-hydroxyesters. By polyinsertion of ketene and aldehydes in the Ti? O bond, di- tri- and tetraesters are formed. An excess of ketene produces acetyl derivatives of esters and 6-alkyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2,4-pyrandiones.

Tetrabenzyltitane is prepared by reaction of TiCl₄ on dibenzylmagnesium in pentane or hexane at – 20° in the presence of a small amount of ether.     

Synthèse photochimique de biaryles et hétérobiaryles à partir d'aryl-et hétéroarylamines,d'un nitrite d'alkyle et d'un substrat aromatique ou hétéroaromatique

Photochemical synthesis of biaryls and heterobiaryls from aryl and heteroarylamines, alkylnitrite and aromatic or heteromatic substrates The photochemical reaction of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines with excess t-butyl nitrite in aromatic solvents (benzene, p-xylene, mesitylene) and in hetero-aromatic solvents (furan, thiophene) leads to biaryls or heterobiaryls. t-Butyl nitrite is more convenient than isopentyl nitrite which gives by-products. This new method has been used to synthesize 28 compounds in 17 to 60% yield.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXII. Synthèse de dérivés spiro-C-glycosylidéniques par cyclisation nucléophile. Communication préliminaire

C -Glycosylic derivatives XXXII. Synthesis of spiro-C -glycosylidenic derivatives via nucleophilic cyclization. On treatment with compounds bearing two nucleophilic groups as ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine or their monooxa or monothia analogues, 1,2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofuranos-3-ulose gave with excellent yields the corresponding spiro-C-glycosylidenic derivative; for example, when using o-phenylenediamine, a spirobenzimidazoline ( 5 ) was obtained. The latter compound underwent, on oxidation, a ring expansion to a morpholinobenzimidazole ( 8 ). Spirobenzodiazepines, spirobenzooxazepines and spirobenzothiazepines were formed when applying the same type of cyclization reaction to 3-C-acetylmethylene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo- and α-D -xylo-hexofuranoses.     

Contribution á l''étude des tris(dialcoylamino)stibines : II. Étude des réactions avec les dérivés carbonylés et les dérivés bifonctionnels

The reaction of Sb(NMe₂)₃ with aldehydes and ketones leads to enamines or diamines according to the degree of substitution of the carbonyl compound. With acids Sb(NMe₂)₃ gives amides, and with β-diketones and β-keto esters it gives enamines. With bifunctional compounds such as diols, secondary diamines or aminoalcohols, different heterocyclic compounds are formed according to the ratio of bifunctional compound to antimony.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XX. Synthèse de sucres acétyléniques et réarrangment d'intermédiaires carbénoïdes. Communication préliminaire

Two novel methods for the synthesis of terminal acetylenic sugars, both involving a chain extension by one carbon unit, are described. In the first procedure, an aldehydo-sugar is treated with dibromomethylenetriphenyl-phosphorane, then with n-butyllithium and finally with water. The second method involves an one-step reaction between an aldehydo-sugar and dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate. The acetylenic sugars obtained are valuable synthetic intermediates for the preparation of heterocyclic C-nucleosides by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and some examples of syntheses of this type are described. Treatment of keto-sugars with dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate led to an intermediate carbenoid species which reacted by insertion into a C? H bond in one case and underwent nucleophilic attack by a methoxy group in a second case.     

Etude Stéréochimique par RMN 1H de Tetrahydropyrannes β-Chlorés α-Substitués

The ¹H NMR study of 2-alkyl-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of Grignard reagents with a mixture of cis/trans-2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows cis/trans configuration of two isomers in which the alkyl substituents are exclusively in the equatorial position. 3-Chloro-2-phenyltetrahydropyran exists in trans (eq-eq) configuration only. The ¹H NMR study of cis/trans 2-alkoxy (or aryloxy)-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of alcohols or phenol with 2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows the axial position of the alkoxy (or aryloxy) substituent.
