Composés d'addition des halogénures de niobium (V) et de tantale(V): III. Détermination de constantes de stabilité par résonance magnétique nucléaire

In view of a systematic study of the Lewis acidity of niobium (V) and tantalum (V) halides, NMR. methods for the determination of stability constants are discussed. In the case of rapid exchange chemical shifts are used to determine the relative amounts of adduct(s) and free base(s) in equilibrium. In the case of slow exchange the relative concentrations of the species are given by the peak areas.     

Etude de composés d'addition d'acides de Lewis,XXXIV [1] Composés d'addition de benzoquinone-1, 4 avec TiCl4

The adduct 1,4-benzoquine · TiCl₄ has been prepared in CH₂Cl₂ solution at about ?60°. Its IR. spectrum has been recorded at the same temperature. The experimental study of the vibrational frequencies has been completed by the calculation of the fundamental vibrations in the molecular plane, using Wilson's FG method, with slightly simplified models of 1,4-benzoquinone · TiCl₄ (13 masses) and 1,4-benzoquinone · 2 TiCl₄ (14 masses); analysis by use of internal and symmetry coordinates. An assignment of most of the observed bands is proposed and the conclusion is reached that the complex, when solid, is (1,4-benzoquinone · TiCl₄)_n. The force constants F(C? O) are 9,85 · 10⁵ dyne/cm for the quinone and 8,8 · 10⁵ dyne/cm for the disturbed carbonyl bond of the polymerized complex in the model proposed. At ordinary temperature in benzene solution of the components the adduct 1,4-benzoquinone. TiCl₄ · benzene precipitated; with the help of the models, the fundamental vibrations of its IR. spectrum have been assigned.     

Additions radicalaires du tétrahydrothiophène à des dérivés éthyléniques: Préparation de tétrahydrothiophènes substitués en 2

Di-t-butyl peroxide induces a free radical addition of tetrahydrothiophene to ethylenic compounds. The main products arise from an α-attack of the substrate. This reaction seems to be an interesting synthesis of these heterocycles.     

Etude thermodynamique des complexes de transfert de charge du type n-σ* en solution Complexes de la quinoléine et de quinoléines substituées avec I2, ICI et IBr

Thermodynamic study of charge transfert complexes (n-σ*) in solution Charge transfer complexes of quinoline and substituted quinolines (donors) with iodine, iodine chloride, and iodine bromide (acceptors) have been studied spectrophotometrically in CCl₄. The 1:1 stoechiometry of these complexes was verified by means of the continous variations method and the appearance of isosbestic points. Simultaneous determination of the equilibrium constant and enthalpy of adduct formation was carried out by calorimetry. It was observed for every donor that the equilibrium constants of the complexes studied increase with the strength of the acceptors. A linear correlation between enthalpy of adduct formation and donor strength was obtained only for the complexes Donor ICI.     

Composés d'addition des halogénures de niobium(V) et de tantale(V). V. Stabilité relative des composés des chlorures avec quelques oxydes et sulfures organiques

The adducts of niobium(V) and tantalum(V) chlorides with some aliphatic and cyclic oxides and sulfides, studied by NMR. spectroscopy in CHCl₃, are found to have 1:1 stoechiometry, at room temperature and lower. In the thioxane complex TaCl₅ · C₄H₈OS two species are present with the ligand coordinated by the sulfur atom or by the oxygen atom, respectively, in a proportion which has been determined. The thioxane adduct of niobium(V) chloride, however, is preferentially coordinated by the sulfur atom. There is also evidence for the species 2MCl₅ · C₄H₈OS. The relative basicity of each donor atom in dioxane, thioxane and dithiane is calculated and discussed. In contrast to the nitrile adducts, whose stability was found earlier to be controlled by inductive factors, the steric factors are more important for the ether and sulfide adducts: MCl₅ · Me₂X is more stable than the corresponding MCl₅ · Et₂X (M = Nb, Ta; X = O, S). Both niobium(V) and tantalum(V) chlorides have a soft behaviour, but NbCl₅ is a weaker Lewis acid than TaCl₅ and shows also a softer behaviour.     

Etude de composés d'addition d'acides de Lewis. XXXVI [1] Composés d'addition de l'anthraquinone-9, 10 et de l'anthrone avec divers acides de Lewis

Solid stoichiometric adducts of 9, 10-anthraquinone with SbCl₅, ZrCl₄, TiCl₄ SnCl₄, AlCl₃, have been prepared. The very important lowering Δω of the IR. carbonyl frequency, ranging from ?175 cm^?1 for SbCl₅ to ?117 cm^?1 for SnCl₄, shows that the acceptor is linked by a dative bond to the carbonyl oxygen atom acting as a donor; an assignment of most of the fundamental IR. frequencies is proposed for anthraquinone and the mentioned adducts. Similar assignments and interpretation have been made for anthrone and its solid adduct with SbCl₅, ZrCl₄, TiCl₄, SnCl₄, AlCl₃ and ZnCl₂, where the C?O lowerings range from ?164 cm^?1 for SbCl₅ to ?97 cm^?1 for ZnCl₂.     

Alcoylation d'acridanone-9. Premiers exemples de O-alcoylation dans cette série de composés

The results of nucleophilic substitution of the 2-methoxy-9-acridone are discussed in terms of competition between both ionic sites N^? and O^?, of the molecule. They are the first examples of O-alkylation of substituted 9-acridone.     

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).     

RMN du 13C de Composés Méthylés Soufrés

A ¹³C NMR study of a series of methyl sulphur compounds is described. The results are discussed in terms of the deshielding effects on the methyl carbon exerted by –SH, –SMe, –SSMe, –SSEt, –SSMe, –SC(O)Me, –SC(S)Me, –SC(S)SMe. The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of a series of S-methyl thioesters and dithioesters are compared with corresponding esters and connected with chemical properties.     

Préparation de dérivés de sucres acétyléniques terminaux et d'acides ynuroniques par réaction de Wittig. Note de laboratoire

Synthesis of Terminal Acetylenic Sugars Derivatives and Ynuronic Acids Derivatives by Use of a Wittig Reaction The method described for the preparation of terminal acetylenic sugars presents two advantages over earlier procedures: no new asymmetric center is created and the chain can be extended by one or more C-atoms. The method also allows preparation of ynuronic acids. The aldehydosugars derivatives 1–7 gave in good to excellent yields the corresponding gem-dibromoenoses 8–14 from which either the terminal acetylenic sugars derivatives 15–21 or the ynuronic acids 22–24 were easily prepared. A few examples of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (leading to 28–30 ) with these acetylenic sugar derivatives are also described.     

Etude de composés d'addition des acides de Lewis XXVIII. Constantes de Hammett et vibration carbonyle des composés formés par TiCl4 et SbCl5 avec des chlorures de benzoyle parasubstitués

The adducts of benzoyl chlorides p-substituted by CH₃O? , CH₃? , and H? with the electronic acceptors SbCl₅ and TiCl₄ have been prepared, and the IR. absorption spectra of the solid products studied.     

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.     

Radicaux libres dérivés de sucres. Partie. VII. Analogues de nucléosides marqués par un spin. Communication préliminaire

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.     

Préparation de phosphonates de sucres ramifiés par addition nucléophile conjuguée. Communication préliminaire

Preparation of unsaturated sugars phosphonates using nucleophilic conjugate addition Different types of phosphorus nucleophiles underwent conjugate addition reaction with one of the branched-chain sugars 4, 5 or 11 the addition taking place either on the endo or the exo face of the furanose ring (or on both faces in the case of 11 ). The configuration at C(3) of these new phosphorus-bearing types of sugars as well as the configuration at the phosphorus atom of the cyclic phosphinates 9 and 10 was established by NMR. (³J_P,H–C(2), ³J_P,C(1)). Small amounts (7%) of the spiro enol phosphonate 16 were formed when 11 reacted with trimethyl phosphite.     

Conformation et Spectrometrie de RMN. III. Spectres 13C de Diméthylamino Cyclanols et Dérivés

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-dimethylaminocyclohexanols and the four trans-3-dimethylamino-2-decahydronaphtols are described. The gauche interactions allow precise estimation of chemical shifts for each carbon atom; thus, band attribution can be resolved without mistake. In the case of the cis and the trans diequatorial compounds, the conformational perturbations which we have suggested before are verified by our present measurements on the substituted carbon atoms. We also show effects on adjacent atoms, which were unobservable with the usual IR and ¹H NMR techniques.     

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.     

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.     

Résolution de spectres RPE par régression non linéaire. Application à des radicaux anions dérivés de thiazoles substitués

A non-linear regression method for the resolution of EPR spectra is described. The theoretical model is fitted with the experimental spectrum and the error on each parameter is calculated. The method is applied to the radical anions of 2-nitro-4-methyl thiazole, 4-p-nitro-phenyl-thiazole and 5-p-nitro-phenyl-thiazole.     

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.     

Spectrométrie de Masse d'Hétérocycles Azotés. VIII–Comportement sous l'Impact Electronique de Nitroarylazoles

The mass spectra of nitrophenylimidazoles and nitrophenylpyrazoles have been examined in order to establish whether neighbouring ortho-ortho′ substituents have an appreciable influence on the fragmentation patterns. For compounds having an ortho nitro group on the heterocycle, specific effects are observed. Isotope effects observed with deuterated derivatives confirm this and establish that in the case of o-nitroimidazoles the 2-H proton adjacent to both nitrogen atoms is involved in the loss of OH. Fragmentation of each compound is specific and study could eventually provide a satisfactory means for structure determination.
