Absolute Konfiguration von Antheraxanthin, «cis-Antheraxantliirt» und der diastereomeren Mutatoxanthine

Absolute Configuration of Antheraxanthin, ‘cis-Aritheraxanthin’ and of the Stereoisomeric Mutatdxanthins The assignement of structure 2 to antheraxanthin (all-E)-(3 S, 5 R, 6 S, 3′ R)-5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol and of 1 to ‘cis-antheraxanthin’ (9Z)-(3 S, 5 R, 6 S, 3′ R)-5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol is based on chemical correlation with (3 R, 3′ R)-zeaxanthin and extensive ¹H-NMR. measurements at 400 MHz. ‘Semisynthetic antheraxanthin’ ( = ‘antheraxanthin B’) has structure 6 . For the first time the so-called ‘mutatoxanthin’, a known rearrangement product of either 1 or 2 , has been separated into pure and crystalline C(8)-epimers (epimer A of m.p. 213° and epimer B of m.p. 159°). Their structures were assigned by spectroscopical and chiroptical correlations with flavoxanthin and chrysanthemaxanthin. Epimer A is (3 S, 5 R, 8 S, 3′ R)-5,8-epoxy-5,8-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol ( 4 ; = (8 S)mutatoxanthin) and epimer B is (3 S, 5 R, 8 R, 3′ R)-5,8-epoxy-5,8-dihydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol ( 3 ; = (8 R)-mutatoxanthin). The carotenoids 1 – 4 have a widespread occurrence in plants. We also describe their separation by HPLC. techniques. CD. spectra measured at room temperature and at ? 180° are presented for 1 – 4 and 6 . Antheraxanthin ( 2 ) and (9Z)-antheraxanthin ( 1 ) exhibit a typical conservative CD. The CD. Spectra also allow an easy differentiation of 6 from its epimer 2 . The isomeric (9Z)-antheraxanthin ( 1 ) shows the expected inversion of the CD. curve in the UV. range. The CD. spectra of the epimeric mutatoxanthins 3 and 4 (β end group) are dissimilar to those of flavoxanthin/chrysanthemaxanthin (ε end group). They allow an easy differentiation of the C (8)-epimers.     

Biosynthese der Verrucarine und Roridine. Teil 5. Synthese von zwei Diastereoisomerenpaaren des [1,8-14C]-α-Bisabolols und Versuche zu deren Einbau in Verrucarol Verrucarine und Roridine, 32. Mitteilung [1]

The diastereoisomeric (+)-[1,8-¹⁴C]-(1'R,6R, S)-α-bisabolol ( 2a ) and (?)-[1,8-¹⁴C]-(1′S, 6R, S)-α-bisabolol ( 2b ) were synthesized by reaction of the Grignard compound of [1,6-¹⁴C]-5-bromo-2-methyl-2-pentene ( 12 ) with (+)-(R)- and (?)-(S)-4-acetyl-1-methyl-1-cyclohexene, ( 6a ) and ( 6b ) respectively. For the preparation of compound 12, cyclopropyl methyl ketone was treated with [¹⁴C]-methyl magnesium iodide to form the carbinol 11, which was cleaved by HBr. Compounds 6a and 6b were synthesized from (+)-(R)- and (?)-(S)-limonene, ( 4a ) and ( 4b ), via the derivatives 5a , 6a and 5b , 6b respectively. - This synthesis established the absolute configuration at C(1′) of the natural α-bisabolols: (R) for (+)-α-bisabolol and (S) for (?)-α-bisabolol. - Feeding experiments with cultures of Myrothecium roridum and radioactive (+)-(1′R, 6R, S)- and (?)-(1′S, 6R, S)-α-bisabolol ( 2a ) and ( 2b ) gave negative results. These findings indicate that bisabolane derivatives are not intermediates in the biosynthesis of verrucarol (3).     

Über Blei-haltige Heterocyclen. II. Diphenyl-substituierte Thiaplumbocane,intra- und intermolekulare Koordinationserweiterung an tetraedrisch koordinierten PbIV -Atomen

On Heterocvclic Systems Containing Lead. II. Diphenyl Substituted Thiaplumbocanes, Examples for Expanding Coordination Tetrahedra around Pb^IV 5, 5-Diphenyl-1, 4, 6, 5-oxadithiaplumbocane (PbO8Ph2) and 2, 2-diphenyl-1, 3, 6, 2-trithiaplumbocane (PbS8Ph2) have been synthesized from diphenyl lead diacetate and the respective disodium dithiolates. The mass spectra point to rearrangements induced by reduction of Pb^IV to Pb^II in addition to fragments containing Pb^IV. ¹³C and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectra exhibit a weaker 1, 5-transannular interaction S …? Pb than O …? Pb. The crystal structures of two modifications of PbO8Ph2 (orthorhombic and triclinic) have been determined at ? 160°C and refined to R = 0.027 and 0.071. The two modifications contain four 8-membered rings crystallographical independent, three times chair-chair, once boat-chair conformation. Eight independent Pb^IV? S single bond distances range from 248.2(3) to 251.9(6) pm. The tetrahedral C₂PbS₂ configuration is expanded by one 1,5-transannular O …? Pb interaction (285,5(5) to 308(1) pm, monocapped) and further in the triclinic case by one intermolecular S …? Pb interaction (411(1) and 375(1) pm, bicapped). The crystal structure of the orthorhombic modification contains layers (8-membered ring) (phenyl)₂ analogous to the structure of CdI₂. In the triclinic case there are dimers arranged in analogy to the cubic closest packing.

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Reaktionsverhalten von 2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl- und 8-(Dimethylamino)naphthylsubstituierten Lithiumhydridosilylamiden – Bildung von Silaniminen durch Lithiumhydrideliminierung

Preparation, Properties, and Reaction Behaviour of 2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl- and 8-(Dimethylamino)naphthylsubstituted Lithium Hydridosilylamides – Formation of Silanimines by Elimination of Lithium Hydride The hydridosilylamines Ar(R)Si(H)–NHR′ ( 2 a : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; 2 b : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Ph, R′ = CMe₃; 2 c : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃; 2 d : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; 2 e : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Ph, R′ = CMe₃; 2 f : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃) have been synthesized from the appropriate chlorosilanes Ar(R)SiHCl either by reaction with the stoichiometric amount of Me₃CNHLi ( 2 a , 2 b , 2 d , 2 e ) or by coammonolysis in liquid NH₃ with chlorotrimethylsilane in molar ratio 1 : 3 ( 2 c , 2 f ). Treatment of 2 a–2 f with n-butyllithium in equimolar ratio in n-hexane resulted in the lithiumhydridosilylamides Ar(R)Si(H)–N(Li)R′ 3 a–3 f . The frequencies of the Si–H stretching vibration and ²⁹Si–¹H coupling constants in the amides are smaller than in the analogous amines indicating a higher hydride character for the hydrogen atom of the Si–H group in the amides compared to the amines. Results of NMR spectroscopic studies point to the existence of a (Me₂)N → Si coordination bond in the 8-(dimethylamino)naphthyl-substituted amines and amides. The amides 3 a–3 c are stable under refluxing in m-xylene. At the same conditions 3 d and 3 e eliminate LiH and the silanimines 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆(R)Si=NCMe₃ ( 4 d : R = Me, 4 e : R = Ph) are formed. The amides 3 a–3 d und 3 f react with chlorotrimethylsilane in THF to give the corresponding N-substitution products Ar(R)Si(H)–N(SiMe₃)R′ 6 a–6 d and 6 f in good yields. 4 d is formed as a byproduct in the reaction of 3 d with chlorotrimethylsilane. In n-hexane and m-xylene these amides are little reactive opposite to chlorotrimethylsilane. 6 a–6 d and 6 f are obtained in very small amounts. In the case of 3 d besides the N-substitution product 6 d the silanimine 4 d is obtained. In contrast to chlorotrimethylsilane the amides 3 a and 3 f react well with chlorodimethylsilane in m-xylene producing 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄(H) SiMe–N(SiHMe₂)CMe₃ ( 7 a ) and 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆(H)SiMe–N(SiHMe₂)SiMe₃ ( 7 f ).

The structures of 3 und 4 are elucidated by n. m. r. and X‐ray structural analyses. By hydrolysis of 4 with conc. hydrochloric acid 1,3,5‐trioxo‐1λ⁵,3λ⁵,5λ⁵‐[1,3,5]triphosphinane‐1,3,5‐triol (cyclotrimethylene‐triphosphinic acid) ( 8 ) is formed. Neutralisation with NaOH yields its sodium salt 9 . 8 and 9 are characterized by their n. m. r. spectra. Quantum chemical calculations have been investigated for the compounds 1 ′– 4 ′ and the trianion 9 . The systems 1 ′– 4 ′ are distinguished from 1 – 4 by the size of the ligands at phosphorus which is reduced from N(CH₃)₂ to NH₂, respectively. The aims of the calculations are to elucidate hybridisations and molecular structures, Lewis or resonance structures, electronic charge distributions and NMR chemical shifts.

Trägerfixierte Organometallkomplexe. IV. Strukturuntersuchungen an neutralen und kationischen (Ether-phosphan)palladium(II)-Komplexen

Supported Organometallic Complexes. IV. Structural Investigations on Neutral and Cationic (Ether-phosphane)palladium(II) Complexes . Reaction of the (ether-phosphane) ligands PhP(R)CH₂—D ( 2a?c ) [D=CH₂OCH₃: R=Ph ( a ), (CH₂)₃Si(OCH₃)₃ ( b ), (CH₂)₃SiO_3/2 ( b ′); D= R=(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₃)₃ ( c ), (CH₂)₃SiO_3/2 ( c ′)] with Cl₂Pd(COD) ( 1 ) results in the formation of Cl₂Pd(P — O)₂ ( 3a?c ). Cleavage of Cl^? from 3 with AgSbF₆ yields the cationic, monochelated complexes [ClPd(P — O)(P ∩ O)]⁺ ( 4 a—c ) (P — O: η¹-P-coordinated; P ∩ O: η²-O ∩ P-coordinated). 4 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the lattice constants a=1 062,4(2), b=1 912,2(4) und c=1 635,5(3) pm, β=101,22(3)° and Z=4 (R=0,0341; R_w=0,033). With water 3 b, c and 4 b, c are subjected to polycondensation to give the supported complexes 3 b′, c′, 4 b′, c ′. The structure 3 b′, c′, 4 b′, c ′ is investigated by comparison of their ³¹P CP MAS data with the ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra of their soluble precursors 3 b, c, 4 b, c . ¹³C CP MAS NMR spectra of 3 b′, c ′ and 4 b′, c ′ indicate η¹-P- and η²-O ∩ P-coordination of the ligands. The polysiloxane network of 4 b ′ was inspected by contact time variation of the ²⁹Si CP MAS NMR spectra and it appeared that 77% of the Si—O units are crosslinked, corresponding to a ratio T₄:T₃:T₁=67:100:10.

Rh, Ir), [(η⁶-p-cymene)RuCl₂]₂, react with mono- and dianions of several 9,10-anthracene-dione dyes [1-amino-9,10-anthracene-dione, Disperse Blue 19 (1-amino-4-anline-9,10-anthracene-dione), 1,4-diamino-9,10-anthracene-dione, Solventgreen 3 [1,4-bis(4′-methylaniline)-9,10-anthracene-dione], dianthrimide [1,1′-dianthraquinonylamin], 1-azo-β-naphtol-9,10-anthracene-dione, 1-anilido-o-carboxy-9,10-anthracene-dione and Quinizarin (1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthracene-dione)] to give N,O-, O,O- and O,N,O-chelate complexes. Copper(II)- and palladium(II) acetate and the anion of 1-aminoanthraquinone afford N,O-bischelates. Spectroscopic data are discussed. In comparision to the free anthraquinones the dye complexes show a bathochromic shift in the UV/VIS spectra. The structures of (ethyl)₃P(Cl)Pt(1-aminoanthraquinone-H⁺), (η-C₅Me₅)(Cl)Ir(1-azo-β- #naphtolanthraquinone-H⁺) and (η-C₅Me₅)Rh(1-anilido-o-carboxyanthraquinone-2 H⁺) were determined by X-ray diffraction.     

Übergangsmetallphosphidokomplexe. VII. Ringgrößeneffekte bei den NMR-Daten von Übergangsmetallphosphor-Vier- und Sechsringkomplexen

Transition Metal Phosphido Complexes. VII. Ring Size Effects within the N.M.R. Data of Transition Metal Phosphorus Four- and Six-membered Ring Complexes Comparing the corresponding n.m.r. data of [cpNiPH₂]₂ 1 and [cpNiPH₂]₃ 2 , of [(CO)₄MnPH₂]₂ 3 and [(CO)₄MnPH₂]₃ 4 , and of [(CO)₄MnPF₂]₂ 5 and [(CO)₄MnPF₂]₃ 6 , respectively, it is shown that mainly the coupling constant between the phosphorus nuclei J_PMP (M = Ni, Mn) and all chemical shift values are strongly influenced by the ring size. The relevant coupling constants between the nuclei ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹⁹F have been obtained using computer simulations of the corresponding higher order spin systems.

The complexes H₃PM′L_m 4e, 4f, 4j (M′L_m = Fe(CO)₄ e ) which can be obtained reacting the P-silylated derivatives (Me₃Si)₃PM′L_m with CH₃OH can be transformed into LiH₂PM′L_m 5e, 5f, 5j using n-BuLi. 5e, 5f, 5j react with cp(CO)₂ FeBr to give 2e, 2f, 2j . The photochemical decarbonylation of 2b - l leads only in the case of 2i and 2j to isolable complexes containing a metal-metal bond cp(CO)Fe(μ-CO, μ-PH₂) M′L_m?1 6 (M′L_m?1 = Mncp(CO) i , MnMecp(CO) j ). 6i and 6j as well as 6k (M′L_m?1 = Crcp(NO) k ) are also available cleaving both Si? P bonds in cp(CO)Fe[μ-CO, μ-P(SiMe₃)₂]M′L_m?1 8i – k using CH₃OH. In other complexes 6 the PH₂-bridge causes a labilisation of the metal-metal bond. This can be used in some cases to add ligands under mild conditions. I.R., N.M.R. and mass spectral data are reported.     

Darstellung,Charakterisierung und Reaktionsverhalten von Natrium‐ und Kaliumhydridosilylamiden R2(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na,K) — Kristallstruktur von [(Me3C)2(H)Si—N(K)SiMe3]2·THF

Preparation, Characterization and Reaction Behaviour of Sodium and Potassium Hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na, K) — Crystal Structure of [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂ · THF The alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ 1a‐Na — 1d—Na and 1a‐K — 1d‐K ( a : R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; b : R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃; c : R = Me, R′ = Si(H)Me₂; d : R = CMe₃, R′= SiMe₃) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding hydridosilylamines 1a — 1d with alkali metal M (M = Na, K) in presence of styrene or with alkali metal hydrides MH (M = Na, K). With NaNH₂ in toluene Me₂(H)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 1a ) reacted not under metalation but under nucleophilic substitution of the H(Si) atom to give Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 5 ). In the reaction of Me₂(H)Si—NHSiMe₃ ( 1b ) with NaNH₂ intoluene a mixture of Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHSiMe₃ and Me₂(H)Si—N(Na)SiMe₃ ( 1b‐Na ) was obtained. The hydridosilylamides have been characterized spectroscopically. The spectroscopic data of these amides and of the corresponding lithium derivatives are discussed. The ²⁹Si‐NMR‐chemical shifts and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants of homologous alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Li, Na, K) are depending on the alkali metal. With increasing of the ionic character of the M—N bond M = K > Na > Li the ²⁹Si‐NMR‐signals are shifted upfield and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants except for compounds (Me₃C)(H)Si—N(M)SiMe₃ are decreased. The reaction behaviour of the amides 1a‐Na — 1c‐Na and 1a‐K — 1c‐K was investigated toward chlorotrimethylsilane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and in n‐pentane. In THF the amides produced just like the analogous lithium amides the corresponding N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2a — 2c ) in high yields. The reaction of the sodium amides with chlorotrimethylsilane in nonpolar solvent n‐pentane produced from 1a‐Na the cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NCMe₃]₂ ( 8a ), from 1b‐Na and 1‐Na mixtures of cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NR′]₂ ( 8b , 8c ) and N‐silylation product 2b , 2c . In contrast to 1b‐Na and 1c‐Na and to the analogous lithium amides the reaction of 1b‐K and 1c‐K with chlorotrimethylsilane afforded the N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2b , 2c ) in high yields. The amide [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂·THF ( 9 ) crystallizes in the space group C2/c with Z = 4. The central part of the molecule is a planar four‐membered K₂N₂ ring. One potassium atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and the other one by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Furthermore K···H(Si) and K···CH₃ contacts exist in 9 . The K—N distances in the K₂N₂ ring differ marginally.     

Isomere η2-Acyl- und σ-Alkyl(carbonyl)-Komplexe von Molybdän und Wolfram. Eine Studie zum Bildungs-mechanismus,zur Isomerisierungsgeschwindigkeit und zur Steuerung der Gleichgewichtslage

η²-Acyl and σ-Alkyl(carbonyl) Coordination in Molybdenum and Tungsten Complexes: Synthesis and Studies of the Isomerization Equilibria and Kinetics The anionic molybdenum and tungsten complexes [L_RM(CO)₃]^? (L_R^? = [(C₅H₅)Co{P(O)R₂}₃]^?, R = OCH₃, OC₂H₅, O-i-C₃H₇; M = Mo, W) have been alkylated with the iodides R′ I, R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, and CH₂C₆H₅. The reactivity pattern of the alkylation is in accord with a S_N2 mechanism. Depending on M, R′, reaction temperature, and time the η-alkyl (carbonyl) compounds [L_RM(CO)₃R′] and/or the isomeric η²-acyl compounds [L_RM(CO)₂(η²-COR′)] can be obtained. 8 new σ-alkyl(carbonyl) compounds and 15 new η²-acyl compounds have been isolated and characterized. The ¹H NMR and the IR spectra give conclusive evidence that the σ-alkyl(carbonyl) compounds [L_RM(CO)₃R′] are formed as the primary products of the alkylation and that they isomerize partly or completely to give the η²-acyl compounds [L_RM(CO)₂(η²-COR′)]. The position of the equilibrium σ-alkyl(carbonyl)/η²-acyl is controlled by the steric demands of the groups R′ and the ligands L_R^?. The molybdenum compounds isomerize much more readily than the tungsten compounds. The rate constants of the isomerization processes [L_RMo(CO)₃CH₃] → [L_RMo(CO)₂(η²-COCH₃)], R = OCH₃, OC₂H₅, and O-i-C₃H₇, measured at 305 K in acetone-d₆, are 6–8 x 10^?3 s^?1.

The esters RSe? CS? SR′ with R = R′ = C₂H₅, ⁿC₃H₇ as well as with R = ⁿC₃H₇ and R′ = C₂H₅ have been produced by three different methods. The compounds have been characterized by means of electron absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H, ¹³C, and ⁷⁷Se), and mass spectra. The unstable alkyl selenoxanthates M[S₂C? SeR], where M = Na, K and R = C₂H₅, ⁿC₃H₇, are formed by reaction of carbon disulfide with the corresponding alkane selenolate. Freshly prepared they react with alkyl iodides R′I to yield RSe? CS? SR′.

OR], where R = CH₃ and C₂H₅, reacts with acids to yield unstable NC? NH? CO? OR. The esters decompose to form NC? N?C(NH₂)? NH? CO? OR. The compounds have been characterized by means of electron absorption, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, infrared, and mass spectra.     

1H- und 13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Struktur N-substituierter Tetrazole—Die Strukturen des N-Methoxycarbonyl-, N-Acetyl- und N-(Tri-n-butylstannyl)-tetrazols sowie Substituenteneffekte auf δ13C und 1J(CH)

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of several isomeric N-substituted tetrazoles have been investigated. ¹³C NMR is shown to be more useful for distinguishing between structural isomers of N-substituted tetrazoles except for those carrying electropositive substituents like SnBu₃. Correlations of δC-5 (inverse) and ¹J(C-5,H) with s?₁ found for 1-substituted tetrazole allowed the identification of the N SnBu₃ derivative as 1-(tri-n-butylstannyl)tetrazole. The phenyl carbon chemical shift difference ΔC′ = δC-3′-δC-2′ is insignificant for structure elucidation and conformational studies of N-substituted 5-phenyltetrazoles; ΔH′ from ¹H NMR spectra seems to be more useful.
