Hétérocyclisations intramoléculaires par réaction d'oxymercuration III. Régiosélectivité et stéréosélectivité de l'oxymercuration intramoléculaire de phénols orthoallyliques

The intramolecular heterocylization of ortho-allylic phenols by oxymercuration has been realized with compounds having different substituents on the allylic chain. In all cases, only the corresponding benzofuran is formed. However, with a substituent at the terminal carbon of the double bond, we also observed the formation of benzopyran. The influence of the solvent and the mercuric salt on the orientation of this reaction has been examined. There is evidence of a molecular rearrangement during the reduction.     

Sur les dérivés de la fluorénone VIII. Difluorénonyl-cétones,difluorényl-cétones et difluorényl-méthanes

By condensation of the chlorides of the four isomeric fluorenecarboxylic acids, respectively of the three 1-, 3- and 4-fluorenonecarboxylic acids with fluorene, followed by reduction of the obtained mono-respectively diketones, the four difluorenylmethanes I, II, III and IV are synthesized. The oxydation of the diketones gives the corresponding triketones. Starting from the chloride of 4-fluorenecarboxylic acid and 1-methylfluorene, a methyl derivative of IV is analogically obtained.     

Stéréosélectivité et régiosélectivité de la réduction des cyclopropènes-2,3 et méthylène-2 cyclopropanes fonctionalisés en position 1

Reduction of 2 cyclopropenyl esters and alcohols with lithium aluminium hydride is selective; at low temperatures (0°) the double bond is not reduced, but at higher temperatures (65°) the reduction is complete and only the cyclopropylmethanol is obtained. The reduction of the double bond is regioselective (the most stable carbanion is formed) and stereospecific (the hydride attack on the double bond occurs cis to the functional group). This stereospecificity can be explained through the initial formation of an alkoxylaluminium hydride followed by an intramolecular reduction of the double bond. Similar results have been obtained in the reduction of functionalised methylenecyclopropanes.     

Dérivés de sucres à groupement gem-dihalogénoéthényle

Carbohydrate Derivatives Bearing a gem-Dihalogenoethenyl Group Treated with the appropriate Wittig reagent, aldehydosugar derivatives ( 1–13 ) led in good to excellent yields to the expected gem-difluoro, gem-chlorofluoro-and/or gem-dichloroenoses ( 14–29 ). Examples of their dibromo analogues had been previously described (see e.g. [1]) but the diiodo derivatives could not be isolated, The influence of the conditions on the yields is reported as well as spectroscopic properties (particularly the long-range ¹³C, ¹⁹F- and ¹H, ¹⁹F-coupling constants) of these new enoses.     

Structure électronique de dérivés sulfurés : Partie V. spectres électroniques d''hétérocycles thio-carbonylés

The experimental and theoretical spectra of thiocarbonyl heterocyclic compounds with two heteroatoms in the position to the thiocarbonyl group have been studied.

The theoretical interpretation of the CNDO/S results including an extension to the third period, i.e. 3d orbitais, is in good agreement with the saturation effect as well as with the influence of the intracyclic heteroatoms on the typical absorptions of the thiocarbonyl group.     

Effets stéréosélectifs dans les réactions des complexes métalliques. I. Stéréosélectivité de la réaction de l'anion D-N-(hydroxy-2-éthyl)-propylènediaminetriacétatoferrate (III) avec quelques dérivés d'acides aminés

A chromatographic method for studying small effects of ligand stereoselectivity in the formation of labile metal complexes has been developed. It is shown that unidentate ligands can react stereospecifically with labile optically active metal complexes. An anion-exchanger charged with an optically active form of Fe^III-N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-propylenediamine triacetate is used as a support in chromatography of N-acylated amino acids, and differences in retentions have been measured by elution and by frontal analysis.     

Réduction alkylante de quelques composés hétéroaromatiques polyazotés

The reduction-aldylation of quinoxaline, phthalazine and pyrido[2,3-b] pyrazine by potassium borohydride in a carboxylic acid medium is described. Formic, acetic, chloroacetic and propinic acids were used. The diazine ring of the molecule was reduced and alkylated into an N,N¹-dialkyltetrahydro compound. With quinoxaline and formic acid, N-formylation may be an important factor. Sodium borodeuteride allows one to prepare an hexadeuterated compound.     

Déconjugaison d'énones dérivées de sucres Communication préliminaire

Deconjugation of sugars enones. Preliminary Communication Branched-chain sugar enones 1 and 2 ( R = Ac) deconjugated toposelectively (only the E isomers reacting) to 3 . The same phenomenon was noted in the case of Z- 4 which gave E- 5 . The kinetic parameters of these reactions favored a concerted mechanism, i.e. a [1, 5]-sigmatropic shift.     

Synthése par deux voies différentes d'un systéme dihétérocyclique apparenté aux peltogynoides

5-Oxo-5H,7H-[2]benzopyrano[4,3-b][1]benzopyran ( 2 ) has been synthesized from 3-(o-hydroxybenzylidene)isochroman-1,4-dione ( 3 ) by reductive cyclization, and from 5H,7H[2]benzo-pyrano[4,3-b][1]benzopyran-5,7-dione ( 4 ) by selective hydro-genation. This second method affords the dihydro compound 6 or 6a,12a-dihydro-5H,7H-[2]benzopyrano[4,3-b] [1 ]benzopyran-5-one as reaction time increases.     

Propriétés chimiques du benzisosélénazole-1,2

The nitration and the bromination of 1,2-benzisoselenazole give mono derivatives at 5- or 7-position. With potassium amide 3-amino-1,2-benzisoselenazole is obtained from the unsubstituted ring. We observe a ring opening by action of organolithium compounds. We describe also the synthesis of functional derivatives at the 3-position from 3-styryl-1,2-benzisoselenazole and selenonaphthenequinone.     

Réaction d'énamines dérivées de la cyclohexanone avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Reaction with Tetracyanoethylene of Enamines derived from Cyclohexanone At room temperature enamines of cyclohexanone react with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to give substituted tetrahydroindenes 5 . The structures are assigned on the basis of ¹³C-NMR. data and confirmed by hydrolysis. Spectroscopic studies (IR., UV., ESR.) at different temperatures indicate that the reaction can follow two routes: classical zwitterion formation, or a concurrent electron transfer between the enamines and TCNE leading to the derivates 5 . These are the first reported examples of the γ-carbon reactivity of an enamine.     

Oxydations et halogénations régiosélectives et réactions carbéniques de dérivés de sucres portant un groupement thioéther

Regioselective Oxidations, Regioselective Halogenations and Carbene Reactions of Sugar Derivatives Bearing a Thioether Group Regioselective stoechiometrically controlled procedures are described for the oxidation of thiosugars either at the sulfur atom (to sulfoxides or sulfones) or at a hydroxymethylene group (to ketosugars). Ruthenium tetraoxide reacted at both sites. Chloration (SO₂Cl₂) of β-ketothioether sugar derivative 3 took place exclusively at C(6). Evidence is given that a chlorosulfonium intermediate C was formed when the dichloroketothiosugar derivative 6 was treated with SO₂Cl₂. The carbene generated from the tosylhydrazone 16 rearranged to the enoses 17–20 , the migrating group coming in equal proportions from C(4) and C(6). Some stereochemical aspects of these reactions are discussed.     

Régiospécificité et stéréosélectivité de la cycloaddition de l'oxyde de benzonitrile sur les pyrazolines-3

Pursuing our study on the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide with Δ₃-pyrazolines (1,2), we can now affirm that this reaction is regiospecific and stereoselective. The behaviour in acidic medium was studied. We have then discussed the process of epimerization and degradation observed according to the C₄ substituent of the bicyclic molecule and the solvent used.     

Le diméthyl- et le diéthyl-tétracarbonylosmium Synthèse et réactivité

The sodium salt Na₂[Os(CO)₄] has been obtained in high yields by the reduction of either OsH₂(CO)₄ or Os₃(CO)₁₂ with sodium sand in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2, 2′-bipyridyle. The reaction of Na₂[Os(CO)₄] with alkylating agents such as methyl and ethyl iodide produces OsR₂(CO)₄ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). NMR. and IR. spectra indicate a cis-octahedral structure of symmetry C_2v for these new alkyl compounds. Bromine breaks one osmium-carbon bond in cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ to give cis-OsCH₃Br(CO)₄, whereas in cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ both ethyl groups are easily displaced by bromine to give cis-OsBr₂(CO)₄. Under CO pressure and at elevated temperature cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ is converted to Os(CO)₅ and ethane. With cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ two CO are inserted in osmium-carbon bonds to give . NMR. and IR. data suggest a cis-configuration for this derivative and the possibility of the presence of rotational isomers.     

β-Dicéto énamines hététrocycliques: 1. Indanediones-1,3 substituées en 2 par un hétérocycle azoté

The condensation of methylated N-heterocycles and espically monomethyl- and polymethylpyridinets on phthalic enhydrides leads to 2-ary1-1,3-indanediones. The 3alklidenylphthalides formed in an intermediary state have been isloated. The influence of solvents and temperature on the velocity and yeild of formation of 2-(2- and 4-pyridyl)-1,3-indandiobnes has been studies. The ir and nmr spectra confirm taht these compunds exist under a β-diketoenamine form resonating witj a betaine form.     

Caractère séquencé des polyacroléines préparées par voie anionique

Several independent studies confirm that anionic polyacroleins are block polymers. Chemical analysis, thermogravimetric studies, and variations of the refractive index increment and sequences lengths all support this hypothesis.     

Étude de l'effet de solvant en résonance magnétique nucléaire—I Caféine et dérivés

The NMR spectrum of caffein shows three N---CH₃ peaks. By study of solvent effect and pH effect on this spectrum, it was possible to make a correct attribution of the absorption peaks. A proof of this attribution was searched in the examination of NMR spectra of theophylline and theobromine. Two new chlorocaffeins were prepared during this work.     

Synthese d'lsosélénazoles et de benzisosélénazoles-1,2

A general preparation of the isoselenazole ring by addition of bromine followed by ammonia on cis-β–methylseleno-2-propenal is described. This reaction was successfully applied to 1,2-benz-isoselenazole, a new heterocyclic system.
