Reactivite et distribution moleculaire dans les copolycondensats lineaires-II: Effet de substitution

The development in Part I is extended to linear step polymerizations where the functional groups exhibit unequal reactivities induced by substitution effects in the course of the polymerization. An R(A)₂/R′(B)₂ copolycondensate is examined to determine how the polydispersity index varies with the strength and positive or negative sense of the substitution effect.     

Reactivite des perfluorohalogenoalcanes en presence de couples metalliques. Reactivite de perfluoroiodoalcanes sur des derives halogenes dans des solvants aprotiques dissociants (DMSO,DMF)

Perfluoroalkyl iodides (R_FI) react with organic halide in dissociants solvents (DMF,DMSO) in the presence of zinc-copper couple through an organometallic route; in this way C₆F₁₃Cl, C₆F₁₃CH₂CH₂I, (C₆F₁₃)₂Zn have been prepared.     

Reactivite comparee en catalyse redox de plusieurs telogenes halogenes vis-a-vis du butadiene

Using copper chloride as catalyst, we have achieved telomerization of butadiene with several different halogenated compounds as telogens. These telogens must have a CCl₃ group to be active as transfer agents. There is a linear relationship between log (telogen reactivity) and the σ¹ Taft constant of the R group. Using this relation, we have determined the values of the σ¹ constants for some halogenated substances. The reactivities of the telogens can be measured by this means. The results confirm those obtained earlier with styrene.     

Modulation of the Sorption Characteristics for an H-bonded porous Architecture by Varying the Chemical Functionalization of the Channel Walls

Five isostructural microporous supramolecular architectures prepared by H-bonded assembly between the hexa-anionic complex [Zr₂(Ox)₇]⁶⁻ (Ox=oxalate, (C₂O₄)²⁻) and tripodal cations (H₃-TripCH₂-R)³⁺ with R=H, CH₃, OH and OBn (Bn=CH₂Ph) are reported. The possibility to obtain the same structure using a mixture of tripodal cations with different R group (R=OH and R=CH₃) has also been successfully explored, providing a unique example of three-component H-bonded porous framework. The resulting SPA-1(R) materials feature 1D pores decorated by R groups, with apparent pore diameters ranging from 3.0 to 8.5 Å. Influence of R groups on the sorption properties of these materials is evidenced through CO₂ and H₂O vapor sorption/desorption experiments, as well as with I₂ capture/release experiments in liquid media. This study is one of the first to demonstrate the possibility of tuning the porosity and exerting precise control over the chemical functionalization of the pores in a given H-bonded structure, without modifying the topology of the reference structure, and thus finely adjusting the sorption characteristics of the material.     

Reactivity and gelation. I. Intrinsic reactivity

The method of Case is used with the Flory-Stockmayer gelation criterion to derive a critical transition equation for polycondensation of multifunctional reactants bearing coreactive functional groups of two species A and B, where the B groups may be of unequal intrinsic reactivity. Systems of the types R(A)₂/R′(B)₄ and R(A)₂/R′(B)₄/R′′(B)₂ are considered with the B groups divided into two classes characterized by a reactivity ratio in the range 0.1 to 10. If the reactivities are sufficiently different the polymerization can be regarded as a multistage process. Intramolecular reactions are not considered.     

Conformational Analysis of the 1,3‐Oxaphosphorinanes Formed from α,β‐Unsaturated Aldehydes and the (Hydroxymethyl)phosphines RP(CH2OH)2 (R = Ph or CH2OH)

Equimolar reactions of cinnamaldehyde or its 3,5‐dimethoxy‐4‐hydroxy derivative (sinapaldehyde) with RP(CH₂OH)₂ (R = Ph or CH₂OH) were studied in MeOH or CD₃OD at room temperature by NMR spectroscopy. In MeOH, nucleophilic attack of the phosphine at the C?C bond, with concomitant loss of CH₂O, affords the tertiary phosphine HOCH₂P(R)CH(Ar)CH₂CHO ( 3 ) that rapidly converts mainly into a 1,3‐oxaphosphorinane derivative ( 5 ) formed as a mixture of four diastereomers. Conformational analysis reveals that the Ar group in these is exclusively in an equatorial position while the OH and R groups can be equatorial‐oriented or axial‐oriented. In CD₃OD, 1,3‐oxaphosphorinanes monodeuterated in the C5 position are obtained as a mixture of eight diastereomers where the dominate diastereomers have an axial D‐atom. Diastereomeric ratios depend on the nature of the Ar and R groups.     

Complexes carbeniques des ferroporphyrines: Preparation de complexes carbeniques comportant deux substituants electrodonneurs par alcoolyse ou thionolyse des complexes halogenocarbeniques correspondants

α-Halocarbeneporphyriniron complexes, Fe(P)(C(Cl)R) react with alcohols or thiols with substitution of the chlorine atom by OR′ or SR′ groups. This reaction has been used to obtain new carbeneporphyriniron complexes in which the carbene ligand is substituted by two electrodonating groups. The complexes Fe(P)(C(XR′)R) with XR′ = OCH₃ or OC₂H₅, R = CH₃ or (CH₃)₂CH and P = TPP (tetraphenylporphyrin) or TTP (tetratolylporphyrin) and with XR′ = SCH₂C₆H₅, R = CH₃ and P = TPP or TTP, have been isolated and fully characterized.     

Multidimensional SuFEx Click Chemistry: Sequential Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange Connections of Diverse Modules Launched From An SOF4 Hub

Sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) is a new family of click chemistry based transformations that enable the synthesis of covalently linked modules via S^VI hubs. Here we report thionyl tetrafluoride (SOF₄) as the first multidimensional SuFEx connector. SOF₄ sits between the commercially mass‐produced gases SF₆ and SO₂F₂, and like them, is readily synthesized on scale. Under SuFEx catalysis conditions, SOF₄ reliably seeks out primary amino groups [R‐ NH₂ ] and becomes permanently anchored via a tetrahedral iminosulfur(VI) link: R−N=(O=)S(F)₂. The pendant, prochiral difluoride groups R−N=(O=) SF₂ , in turn, offer two further SuFExable handles, which can be sequentially exchanged to create 3‐dimensional covalent departure vectors from the tetrahedral sulfur(VI) hub.     

Diazadien-nickel-alkyle

Low temperature reactions of diazadienes (DAD), R′NC(R)C(R)NR′, and nickel halides or complexes (DAD)NiX₂ with CH₃MgI yield deep green solutions of (DAD)Ni(CH₃)₂ which decompose readily on warming except in cases of 2,6-disubstituted N-aryl groups R′. The thermal stability and spectroscopic properties of these potentially interesting precursors in catalytic reactions are compared with those of (dipy)Ni-alkyls.     

From Disilene (SiSi) to Phosphasilene (SiP) and Phosphacumulene (PCN)

The generation of heavier double‐bond systems without by‐ or side‐product formation is of considerable importance for their application in synthesis. Peripheral functional groups in such alkene homologues are promising in this regard owing to their inherent mobility. Depending on the steric demand of the N‐alkyl substituent R, the reaction of disilenide Ar₂Si?Si(Ar)Li (Ar=2,4,6‐iPr₃C₆H₂) with ClP(NR₂)₂ either affords the phosphinodisilene Ar₂Si?Si(Ar)P(NR₂)₂ (for R=iPr) or P‐amino functionalized phosphasilenes Ar₂(R₂N)Si? Si(Ar)?P(NR₂) (for R=Et, Me) by 1,3‐migration of one of the amino groups. In case of R=Me, upon addition of one equivalent of tert‐butylisonitrile a second amino group shift occurs to yield the 1‐aza‐3‐phosphaallene Ar₂(R₂N)Si? Si(NR₂)(Ar)? P?C?NtBu with pronounced ylidic character. All new compounds were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as well as single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and DFT calculations in selected cases.     

Darstellung und schwingungsspektren von trimethylzinndiorganothiophosphinaten Me3SnOSPR′R″ (R′R″ = Me2, MePh,Ph2). Die kristallstruktur von Me3SnOSPMe2

A series of trimethyltin diorganothiophosphinates Me₃SnOSPR′R″ (R′R″ = Me₂, MePh, Ph₂) was prepared from (Me₃Sn)₂O and R′R″PSCl in cyclohexane solution. A close study of the vibrational spectra is given; ³¹P NMR and mass spectra are also reported. The structural investigation of Me₃SnOSPMe₂ by means of X-ray diffraction (R 5.2%, 1697 observed independent reflexions) shows the compound to consists of chains, in which planar SnMe₃ units and tetrahedral OSPMe₂ groups are linked by the O- and S-atoms of the thiophosphinate.     

C45- and C50-Carotenoids Part7 Total synthesis of (all-E,2R,6R,2′R,6′R)- and (all-E,2R,6S,2′R,6′S)-2,2′-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl)-γ,γ-carotene (sarcinaxanthin)

The synthesis of sarcinaxanthin ((2R,6R,2′R,6′R)- 1 ), a symmetrical C₅₀-carotenoid with two γ-end groups, isolated from Sarcina lutea and from Cellulomonas biazotea as major pigment, was based on the strategy C₂₀ + C₁₀ + C₂₀ = C₅₀ using camphoric acid as starting material for the C₂₀-end group 3. The key step of the synthesis is a ring enlargement of the cyclopentane derivative 10 with 2,4,4,6-tetrabromocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one (TBCO) to give the cyclohexane derivative 11 (Scheme 1). The spectroscopic data of the synthetic compound are in full agreement with the data of the isolated product and give the final proof for the (2R,6R,2′R,6′R) chirality of natural sarcinaxanthin.     

An infrared study of the stretching modes of the water molecules in ZnF2·4H2O

The IR spectra of ZnF₂·4H₂O and its deuterated analogues are reported at ambient and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The OH and OD stretching and bending vibrations of the water molecules are analysed in detail. The two types of water molecules give rise to different absorption peaks in the OH and OD stretching regions in samples that contain isotopically dilute HDO groups. The strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecules H₂O(1) and H₂O(4) show four broad OH and OD stretching modes at lower frequencies, while the weaker hydrogen-bonded ones H₂O(2) and H₂O(3) give rise to four narrow bands at higher frequencies. The ν_OD frequencies of isotopically dilute HDO groups correlate very well with the known R(H---F) and R(H---O) distances in the crystals and the assignment of these modes was done on this basis. It was also found that the ratio ν_OH/ν_OD decreases with decreasing values of R(H---O) or R(H---F) in ZnF₂·4H₂O.     

Complexes acetyleniques de titane(II). Reactivite vis-a-vis de l'hydrogene moleculaire: Une nouvelle approche du titanocene

¹³C NMR measurements were performed on [Re₃(μ-H)₃(CO)₁₀]^2? at various temperatures and field strengths. Selective decoupling allowed assignments of the carbonyl resonances. Spin-lattice relaxation time measurements indicated that two mechanisms, scalar coupling and chemical shielding anisotropy, contribute to the relaxation of carbon-13. Variable temperature experiments revealed that more than one mechanism is responsible for the fluxional behaviour.     

Effects of wavelength and substituents on iron(III) photoreduction in trans-[Fe(R-sal-R‵-en)(CH3OH)(NCS)] complexes

Photoredox reactions in irradiated methanolic solutions of trans-[Fe(R′-sal-R₂-en) (CH₃OH)(NCS)] complexes, where R′-sal-R₂-en^2? are tetradentate open-chain N,N′-1,1-R₂-ethylenebis(R′-salicylideneiminato) ligands (R?=?H or CH₃; R′?=?H, 5-Cl, 5-Br, 3,5-Br₂, 3-OCH₃, 4-OCH₃), have been explored and a mechanism suggested. The complexes are redox-stable in the dark in methanol. Continuous irradiation of solutions in the region of intraligand (IL) or ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions leads to photoreduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) and formation of formaldehyde (CH₂O). Formation of polystyrene-containing bonded NCS, when irradiating the complexes in the presence of styrene used as a radical scavenger, indicates that the primary photoreduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) is accompanied by oxidation of NCS^? to the ^?NCS radical. R′-sal-R₂-en ligands have little effect on the photoinduced redox processes. The quantum yield of Fe(II) formation, Φ_Fe(II), as a quantitative parameter of photoredox efficiency, decreases significantly with increasing wavelength of incident radiation, and is slightly influenced by the peripheral groups, R, of R′-sal-R₂-en.     

Organoborierung von alkinylstannanen : V. Zur reaktion von dialkyldi-1-propinylstannanen mit trialkylboranen

Treatment of R′₂Sn(CCCH₃)₂ (R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅) with BR₃ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇) gives 1-bora-4stannacyclohexadienes and 2,5-bis(dialkylboryl)-1-stannacyclopent-3-enes. The formation of the heterocycles depends in a complex manner upon the ratio of the starting compounds, upon the nature of groups R and R′ and also upon the solvent. The proposed structures are discussed on the basis of ¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data.     

Synthese et proprietes chimiques de deux diazoalcanes α-thiophosphores. observation d'un couplage 4jpp

Transfer of diazo and/or azide groups to the methylene of phosphine sulfides 1 Ph₂P(S) CH₂R, leads to the diazoalkanes Ph₂P(S)CN₂R 2b and 2c and azides Ph₂P(S)CHN₃R 3a and 3c in good yields. Thermolysis and photolysis in various media are studied. The 1,3-dipolar addition of 2c on trans dibenzoyléthylène and ethylfumarate is followed by Ph₂P(S) group migration. The corresponding carbenes give very complex reactions causing P-C bond breaking. New coupling constants ⁴J_PP and J_PC are observed.     

Inorganic coordination polymers. XIV. Chromium(III) phosphinate perfluorocarboxylate polymers

A series of polymers, {Cr(OH)(OPRR′O)[OOC(CF₂)_nCF(CF₃)₂]}_x has been prepared and studied. The polymers with R = R′ = C₆H₅ are soluble in CCl₂FCClF₂, whereas those with R = CH₃ and R′ = C₆H₅ and with R = R′ = C₈H₁₇ are insoluble in all solvents. Attempts to prepare similar materials without hydroxyl groups gave the polymers {Cr(OH)_r(OPRR′O)_p[OOC(CF₂)_nCF(CF₃)₂]_q}_x with 0 < r < 1. The latter polymers are much more tractable than the former; however they are also less thermally stable. The perfluoro-carboxylate groups in these materials can either be chelating or bridging, depending on the other ligands present.     

Some platinum(II) complexes derived from aromatic alkynes

Several trans‐platinum(II) complexes, of the type R′? {Pt(PBu₃)₂}? R″? {Pt(PR₃)₂}? R′, where R′ and R″ are groups derived from a series of aromatic alkynes and diynes, have been prepared and characterized. Extensive spectroscopic data for these and other known related complexes are presented. A more precise structural study of trans‐Pt(C≡CC₆H₄C≡CPh)₂(PBu₃)₂ (cf. Z. Kristallogr. 1998; 213: 483) is reported. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cyclopentadienyluranium(IV)complexes with a chiral metallic center : I. Characterization of a prochiral structure by PMR spectroscopy

A range of compounds (C₅H₄R)₃UCl (R  alkyl) and the two tricyclopentadienyl compounds (C₅H₅)₂(C₅H₄R)UCl and C₅H₅(C₅H₄R)₂UCl, (R  CH(CH₃)₂) have been isolated and characterized by PMR spectroscopy. For the last compound, the PMR data indicate a magnetic non-equivalence for the cyclopentadienyl protons and for the methyl groups of R; both are due to the prochirality of the uranium atom.
