Recherches dans la série des cyclitols XXXVII Etude par spectrométrie de masse

Low resolution mass spectra of cyclohexane-triols, -tetrols, -pentols and -hexols and of some of their deuterium labelled derivatives have been measured. The results indicate that for some geometrical isomers quantitative differences between ion intensities are significant, allowing to deduce the stereochemistry of the molecule from its mass spectrum. In all these compounds the electron impact induced elimination of water occurs mainly by interaction between OH groups. There is a correlation between the relative abundance of (M – H₂O)⁺ and (M ?2 H₂O)⁺ ions and the number of axial hydroxyls in the more stable conformation of the molecule. Difficulties encountered in deducing fragmentation patterns, and determination of number and position of deuterium atoms in the molecule of ms-inositol are discussed.     

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.     

Stabilité dans le méthanol et propriétés thermodynamiques de transfert des cryptates de certains cations de transition et de métaux lourds

Stability in Methanol and Thermodynamic Transfer Properties of the Cryptates of some Transition Cations and Heavy Metals The nature and stability of the macrocyclic and macrobicyclic complexes of Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ (Mⁿ⁺) with 21, 22, 211, 221 and 222 in anhydrous methanol 0.05M in Et₄N⁺ClO^?₄, at 25° (see Scheme) have been determined by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. Binuclear complexes M₂L²ⁿ⁺ have been observed in all cases, besides the mononuclear MLⁿ⁺ complexes. The macrobicyclic 1:1 complexes MLⁿ⁺ exhibit an important ‘cryptate effect’ with Mⁿ⁺=Ag⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺, but not with Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺; their stability is in all cases maximum with 221. The applicability to our results of the recent extrathermodynamic hypothesis involving MLⁿ⁺ cryptates is examined.     

Substitution électrophile aromatique dans l'anhydride sulfureux liquide. Influence de la concentration en bromure et rôle du solvant sur la réactivité des anisoles au cours de la réaction de bromation

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution in Liquid Sulfur Dioxide. Kinetic Dependance of Rate on the Bromide Concentration and Influence of the Solvent during the Course of the Reaction On the reported data for bromination of anisole and eleven of its derivatives in liquid SO₂, it was shown that, with a large excess of bromide, the rate of reaction, obeys a first-order law. Rate constants thus obtained do not discriminate between the two different forms of bromide, e.g. Br₂ and Br^?₃ present as the A⁺Br^?₃ form, and corrections were made by use of the apparent equilibrium constant K′ for tribromide formation. The variations of rate constants with initial concentration of bromide has been studied and the effect results in a retardation of the bromination rate. Moreover, the ratio [Br₂] [A⁺Br^?]_T, which is constant during an experiment, varies with initial bromide concentrations, this variation affecting the total rate. To account for the bromide effect on the reactivity, variations of k^o,p_g {1 + K′[A⁺Br^?]_T}VS[A⁺Br^?]_T were studied over a 0.01 to 1M range of bromide concentration. The mechanism proposed shows that liquid SO₂ helps the reactive intermediate to be deprotonated and because of solvation of reactive species this step would probably be rate determining. Bromination by molecular bromine is more sensitive to substituent effects in liquid SO₂ than in water. This result is ascribed to the +M effect of the methoxy group which increase the conjugation of ortho-substituted derivatives (p⁺_p = ?7.83; p⁺_o= ?10.47).     

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).     

Etude de l'équilibre azido ⇌ tétrazole dans la séric du thiazolo[2,3-e]-tétrazole. III. Effects des substituants

The substituent effects on azido/tetrazole equilibrium on a series of 2-substituted thiazoles, benzothiazoles, thiadiazoles, benzoxazoles and isoxazoles has been studied by proton magnetic resonance in two solvents (DMSO-d₆ and deuteriochloroform). For thiazole an excellent Hammett relationship was found, both for the 4 and 5 positions.     

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.     

Diastéréotopies dans la série du benchrotrène

¹H and ¹³C spectra of mono-and disubstituted (benzene)-tricarbonylchromium complexes have been analysed. The influence of the substituents is discussed and special attention is paid to the diastereotopy resulting from different types of chirality. The racemic pseudosymmetric isomer and the two meso pseudoasymmetric isomers of the glycols (OC)₃CrC₆H₄(CHOHCH₃)₂ are compared. The stereochemical requirements are also examined.     

Etude dans la Série Bicyclo [2.2.2]octanique: IV—Influence de l'Anisotropie Magnétique d'un Groupement Géminé Chloro-Nitrile sur les Déplacements Chimiques des Protons des Bicyclo[2.2.2]octènes

¹H n.m.r. spectra in a series of 1- or 3-acetoxy-6-chloro-6-cyanobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes and 6-chloro-6-cyanobicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-ones have been analysed. The anisotropic contribution of the geminal substituents CI and CN is discussed and evaluated using McConnell's equation. The results obtained allow us to assign the endo or exo position of these substituents for these compounds and confirm the conclusions in the literature.     

Diénamines hétérocycliques. III. Réexamen de la réaction de la base de Fischer avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Heterocyclic dienamines III. A re-examination of the reaction of Fischer's base on tetracyanoethylene Depending on the order of addition, Fischer's base 5 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-indoline) reacts 1:1 with tetracyanoethylene to give either the tricyanovinylation product 6 or the spiro compound 7 . A skeletal rearrangement of a zwitterionic intermediate can explain the formation of the spiro compound. The latter undergoes a thermal isomerization yielding by ring expansion the tetrahydroquinoléine 8 . On reaction with LiAlH₄ or CH₃ONa 7 and 8 lead both to triazatetracycles. All structures are assigned on the basis of spectral data.     

Sur la Stoechiométrie de la Variété Allotropique γ de Bi2O3

On the Stoichiometry of the Allotropic Variation γ-Bi₂O₃ The study of the solid solutions Bi₁₂[BBi□_1/5]O₂₀ (B^+V = As, V) with 0 ? x ? 0,80 leads for x = 0,77 to a phase whose cubic centered symmetry and parameter (10.255 Å) correspond to those previously announced for γ-Bi₂O₃. The présence of impurities seems required to obtain such a phase whose theoretical stoichiometry should be Bi₁₂[Bi□_1/5]O₂₀ i. e. Bi₂O_3,125.     

I. Etude de l'Influence de la Nature et de l'Orientation d'un Substituant sur les Constantes de Couplage en Série Tertiobutyl-4 Cyclohexanonique par RMN à Haut Champ

The 250 MHz proton spectra of six α-halogeno-4-tert-butylcyclohexanones have been recorded and the dependence of the coupling constants upon the nature, the position, the orientation and the number of substituents (C?O, Cl, t-Bu) has been examined. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of geometrical deformation or substituent effects.     

Réaction d'ylures stabilisés sur des aldéhydosucres: influence de divers facteurs dont la structure de l'aldéhydosucre sur le pourcentage d'isomères géométriques obtenu

Reactions of stabilized ylides with aldehydosugars: influence of some factors, particularly the structure of the aldehydosugar, on the ratio of the geometrical isomers formed Aldehydosugars bearing no cis-substituent on the C-atom β to the carbonyl group ( 2, 3, 6, 7 ) or bearing a substituent without an electron lone-pair ( 5 ) gave, upon treatment with acetylmethylidenetriphenylphosphorane, exclusively the E-isomer, this representing the classical behaviour of aldehydes. On the other hand, aldehydosugars having a lone-pair bearing substituent ( 1, 4, 8, 9 ) gave a mixture of E- and Z-isomers. In the case of most of the aldehydosugars of the latter type (giving some Z-isomer) a partial epimerization of the C-atom α to the carbonyl group took place when the solvent of the Wittig reaction was HCONMe₂. It is probable that the presence of an electron lone-pair in the adequate position inhibits the reversion of the kinetic erythro-betaine, allowing the formation of the Z-isomer and, in particular solvent conditions, a cycloelimination leading to the epimeric aldehydosugar which ultimately reacts to give the epimeric E-enone.     

Sels de Pyrylium. XVIII. Etude par RMN du Carbone-13 de Sels d'Aminopyrylium et des Barrières de Rotation dans quelques Cations N,N-Diméthylaminopyrylium

The C-2—N bond of 2-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations has a partial π character due to the conjugation of the nitrogen lone-pair with the ring. The values of ΔG^≠, ΔH^≠, ΔS^≠ parameters related to the corresponding hindered rotation have been determined by ¹³C NMR total bandshape analysis. This conjugation decreases the electrophilic character of carbon C-4 so that the displacement of the alkoxy group is no longer possible. Such a hindered rotation also exists in 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations and the corresponding ΔG^≠ parameters have been evaluated. Comparison of these two cationic species shows that hindered rotation around the C—N bond is larger in position 4 than in position 2. Furthermore, the barrier to internal rotation around the C-2? N bond decreases with increasing electron donating power of the substituent at position 4. ΔG^≠ values decreases from 19.1 kcal mol^?1 (79.9 kJ mol^?1) to 12.6 kcal mol^?1 (52.7 kJ mol^?1) according to the following sequence for the R-4 substituents: -C₆H₅, -CH₃, -OCH₃, -N(CH₃)₂.     

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).     

Mass spectra of a series of 2-p-substituted phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolanes

The mass spectra of a series of 2-p-substituted phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolanes have been examined and compared with the mass spectrum of 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane. Formation of the substituted ion [C₇H₆X]⁺ by electron impact induced rearrangement has been found to be influenced significantly by the presence and nature of the substituent at the para position of the phenyl ring.     

Interactions intramoléculaires. XXVI—Constantes de couplage et hétérogénéités conformationnelles dans une série de R-3 et R-5 cyano-4 cyclohexènes deutériés (R=méthyl ou t-butyl)

For trans-3-R- and 5-R-1-acetoxy-4-cyanocyclohexene-6,6-d₂ the molar fractions of diequatorial conformers are 0.83 (3-methyl), 0.68 (5-methyl), 0.57 (3-tert-butyl) and 0.55–0.69 (5-tert-butyl). For the last two compounds the values of the coupling constants are in agreement with the hypothesis of an ee?aa equilibrium. For the cis isomers, the molar fractions of equatorial alkyl conformers are 0.76 (3-methyl and 5-methyl) and 1.0 (3-tert-butyl and 5-tert-butyl). The cis-1-acetoxy-3-tert-butyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-cyclohexene presents a conformational heterogeneity. The conformational free energy of the methyl group in position 4 has been evaluated as ?0.6 kcal mol^?1 (2.5 kJ mol^?1).     

Groupes de départ inhabituels lors de cyclisations dans la série des quinoxalines,II [1]

Quinoxaline-3-ketones substituted by different groups in position 2 (I) are easily cyclized by hydroxylamine and phenylhydrazine to form isoxazolo[4, 5-b] quinoxalines (II) and pyrazolo [3, 4-b] quinoxalines (III) respectively. The reactions proceed via the oximes resp. phenylhydrazones. Groups displaced are not only the customary leaving groups of aromatic S_N2 reactions (halogens, OH), but likewise H, COOH, CONH₂, CO-Ar, and, less easily, benzyl groups; methyl and phenyl groups were not displaced. The displacement of hydride ion in the presence of excess of hydroxylamine resp. phenylhydrazine is explained in terms of an extension of the theory of osazone formation.     

Ionisation et Fragmentation en Spectrométrie de Masse. VII—Structure de l'Ion [C6H6O]+ Issu de la Décomposition du Phényléthyléther Sous Impact Electronique

The activation energy is calculated for the fragmentation [C₆H₅OC₂H₅]⁺ → [C₆H₆O]⁺ +C₂H₄. Estimation of the enthalpy difference between the final state and the molecular ion supports the formation of a phenol-like structure for the [C₆H₆O]⁺ ion. The activation energy for backward reaction is compared with the mean kinetic energy release. Whether this is a concerted or non-concerted fragmentation is discussed.     

Déplacements Chimiques du Carbone 13, Constantes de Couplage 1J(CH) et 3J(CH) dans une série de dérivés trisubstitués du benzène

¹³C chemical shifts, 1-bond and 3-bond (meta) ¹³C? H coupling constants have been determined in a series of trisubstituted benzene; the substituents are Cl, NH₂, N(C₂H₅)₂, N(iC₃H₇)₂, N(C₂H₄)₂O. Chemical shifts are only in moderate agreement with the usual additivity rules. Additivity rules relative to the above mentioned coupling constants are proposed. With few exceptions, the difference between predicted and observed values is less than 10%.
