Migration du groupe éthoxycarbonyle dans la transposition de Wagner-Meerwein

Ethoxycarbonyl group migration in the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement . 13 β-Hydroxy-esters have been treated with P₂O₅ in benzene at 80°. Olefin-forming dehydration, when possible, was found to be the main reaction. When this is excluded, tertiary or benzylic hydroxy-esters react in a manner most easily explained by migration of the COOEt group, thus avoiding the formation of α-carbonyl-carbenium ions. On the other hand, in primary hydroxy-esters (incapable of direct olefin formation), phenyl and methyl groups migrate in preference to COOEt, indicating in this case a concerted reaction.     

Contribution à l'étude du comportement de la catéchine en milieu alcalin

Contribution to the study of the behaviour of catechin in alkaline medium When catechin ( 1 ) is warmed with aqueous alkali it first undergoes rapid epimerisation. After some time a novel bridged carbocyclic enol, catechinic acid ( 3 ) separates out and may be isolated in excellent yield. Eventually catechinic acid isomerises to 2-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,9-epoxy-6-oxo-bicyclo[3,3,1]-non-7-en-8,9-diol ( 4 ) via an open chain anion ( 5 ) which is also involved in the epimerisation of catechin. Assignments of structure are given and the equilibria observed are discussed.
