Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also 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).     

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.     

Réactions de substitution nucléophile de l'hydroxyurée. Synthèse et étude des oxa-6 dihydrouraciles

Hydroxyurea, an N-protected hydroxylamine, reacts with α-bromoesters to give α-ureidoxyesters. Some of these have been isolated. Their cyclisation is a synthetic route to 6-oxadihydrouraciles which structure has been well established by means of physicochemical methods. Especially, ¹³C nmr spectroscopy has been used to show only the presence of the diketone tautomeric form.     

Equilibres conformationnels de dérivés de sucres à insaturation terminale

The conformation in solution of several unsatured sugars of the general type XHC?CH—glycosyl has been studied by NMR. In the trans series, the population of the sterically permitted gauche conformer increases with the M-ability of X. In the cis series, the population of the trans conformer increases with the space requirements of X. These phenomena are discussed.     

Etude par Spectrométrie de Masse de la Fragmentation d'une Série de Diols Aliphatiques

The mass spectrometric fragmentation of a series of diols having the general formula HO? (CH₂)_n? OH with n = 2-11 has been studied. Extensive labelling of n-butane-1,4 diol and n-hexane-1,6 diol with deuterium allows fragmentation modes to be proposed. The labelling reveals that intramolecular exchange of H atoms often precedes the fragmentation and becomes more important when the length of the chain increases.     

Étude de la cotacticité des copolymères acrylonitrile-méthacrylate de methyle par resonance magnetique nucléaire—haute resolution

A study of the NMR spectra of acrylonitrile–methyl methacrylate copolymers (PAM) with very low percentages of methyl methacrylate (M) allows quantitative determinations of AMA, and MMA or AMM triad sequences from the methoxy resonances. The resolution of the complex α-methyl resonances of the isolated M units in seven components has been attempted. If our assignments are correct, the analysis of the cotactic pentad sequences (with a M in central position) has revealed that the configurations of the copolymer chain do not follow the Bernouillian or the first-order Markoffian statistics.     

Copolymerisation radicalaire du méthacrylate de méthyle et du chlorure de vinylidène avec ou sans dérive de composition

Two sets of methylmethacrylate-vinylidene chloride copolymers were prepared via radical copolymerization in dimethylformamide. The first set is carried out in batches. Gas-chromatographic analysis of samples allows a kinetic study from which the reactivity ratios r_M - 2.73 and r_C - 0.24 are derived. For the second set a new apparatus, briefly described, has been used. It permits to keep constant the composition of the monomer mixture, through addition of methyl methacrylate, monitored by a chromatographic analysis. The two sets of copolymers are analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (60 MHz) leading to the triad distribution, from which the reactivity ratios are derived. Owing to the composition drift, the method cannot be applied to the first set of copolymers; but in that case, it is possible to calculate the triad distribution, the knowledge of the reactivity ratios, and the calculation fits quite well the experimental results.     

Synthèse de nouveaux types de dérivés C-glycosyliques à partir de sucres acétyléniques ou de leurs équivalents synthétiques partiels

Synthesis of Novel Types of C-Glycosyl-derivatives from Acetylenic Sugars or Partial Synthetic Equivalents thereof The concept of synthetic equivalent is not unequivocal and, for example, α-fluoroenamines may behave in some cases as synthetic equivalents of ynamines and, in other situations, quite differently. Some uses of these α-fluoroenamines, ‘partial synthetic equivalents’ of ynamines, for the synthesis of C-glycosyl derivatives of coumarins, chromones, quinolines, quinolones, thietenes and isoxazoles are described. We also report the preparation of a series of mono- and diglycosylthiophenes by reacting HS^? with mono- and diglycosylbutadiynes. Acetylenic sugar derivatives have also been used for the synthesis of a diglycosylazaphosphorine and a spirooxolenone.     

Recherches en série triazepine-1,2,4: 1 - détermination de la structure de la triazolotriazépinone obtenue par action de l'acétylacétate d'éthyle sur le diamino-3,4 triazole-1,2,4

The condensation of 3,4-diamino 1,2,4-triazole with ethyl aceloacelate gave 6-methyl-8,9-dihydro(7H)-s-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazepin-8-one ( 2 ); 2 has been caracterized by nmr spectroscopy and by comparison with its methylated derivative prepared in an unambigous manner.     

Régiospécificité de la cycloaddition des diarylnitrilimines sur quelques dérivés indoliques

In this paper, we describe the results of a study of the reaction of diaryl nitrilimines with N-ethylindole ( 1 ) and 2-methoxycarbonyl-N-ethylindole ( 2 ). The regioselectiivity of the reaction is reversed when going from 1 to 2 as it has been spectroscopically and chemically demonstrated.     

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.     

C-Glycosides V: Données mécanistiques sur l'halogénation d'hydrazones et d'oximes dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The bromination of aldehydo-sugars p-nitrophenylhydrazones has been studied and the gem-bromo-azo intermediates isolated and characterized in some cases. In the same way, in the chlorination of aldehydo-sugars oximes gem-chloro-nitroso intermediates have been obtained and in some instances isolated. These observations support a S_E2′ mechanism for such reactions.     

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).     

Sur la composition de l'arôme de thé

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.     

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.     

Processus de rotation empêchée autour de plusieurs liaisons dans les sels de (N,N-diméthylamino-1 propényl-1-ylidène-3) diméthylammonium

The structural identification of some N,N-dimethyl-aminopropenylylidene-dimethylammonium salts has been achieved by NMR and UV spectrographic studies. Several processes of hindered rotation around C? N and C? C bonds are demonstrated. Free activation enthalpies are determined and discussed in terms of effects of the substituent, anion and solvent.     

Applications de la Résonance Dynamique du Proton et du Carbone-13 à l'Etude d'Azines Hétérocycliques. Mécanismes de Formation et d'Isomérisation

A ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. study of heterocyclic azines is presented and the influence of Z/E isomerism on the ¹³C chemical shifts is examined. The kinetic study of the formation and Z/E isomerization of these compounds has been carried out and mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

Equilibres conformationnels de glucides au niveau de liaisons s̀ sp2-sp3 C?C. II Dérivés d'hydrozones d'aldéhydo-sucres

A series of alkyl-and aryl-hydrazones of different types of aldehydo-sugars with blocked hydroxy groups have been studied, mainly by PMR. spectroscopy. No traces of the azoalkane or ene-hydrazine forms were detected; the hydrazones were found to exist only in the syn form, except for the cases where an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the ‘amino’ hydrogen of the hydazono group and an oxygen o the glycosyl group provides an extra-stabilization to the anti isomer. Most of these syn hydrazones seem to exist as an equilibrium of the ‘classical’ eclipsed rotamers. The influence of solvent polarity both on configurational and conformational equilibria has been examined. The factors which determine the relative stability of the conformers about a sp²-sp³ s? bond, particularly some kind of non-bonded attraction, are discussed.     

Recherches dans la série des cyclitols XXXVIII Etudes conformationnelles de dérivés cyclopenténiques disubstitués-3, 5

Cyclopentenones substituted in position 4, and 3, 5-cis or -trans disubstituted cyclopentenes have been studied by NMR. and by IR. spectroscopy. Cyclopentenone derivatives and cyclopentene derivatives adopt a quasi-coplanar and an envelope conformation, respectively. The preferential orientation of the substituents has been established according to their nature and to the solvents by correlation to the vicinal and the long-range coupling constants.
