Synthèse de nouveaux alkyl-2 et -3 tétrahydrofurannes et -pyrannes

New 2- and 3-alkyltetrahydrofurans or -pyrans were synthesized by various methods which can be extended to a larger series. These compounds include tertiary and quaternary α carbon substituted heterocycles, a very few of which were already known.     

Chimie et pharmacologie de l'apiose III. Synthèse et propriétés de l'hydrate de l'O-isopropylidène-1, 2-tétrosulo-3-furannose

Ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-β-D -threofuranose affords, besides the known 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose, a lactone. The tetrosulose is easily hydrated to the corresponding gem-diol whose dehydration on molecular sieves leads to a branched-chain dimer. Lead tetraacetate oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose p-nitrophenylhydrazone leads quantitatively, to a gem-azoacetate, a new synthetic intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. The 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetr-3-enofuranose is easily obtained from the gem-diol. A highly stereoselective procedure is described to prepare the 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -3, 4-exo-D₂-erythrofuranose.     

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.     

Synthèse photochimique de biaryles et hétérobiaryles à partir d'aryl-et hétéroarylamines,d'un nitrite d'alkyle et d'un substrat aromatique ou hétéroaromatique

Photochemical synthesis of biaryls and heterobiaryls from aryl and heteroarylamines, alkylnitrite and aromatic or heteromatic substrates The photochemical reaction of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines with excess t-butyl nitrite in aromatic solvents (benzene, p-xylene, mesitylene) and in hetero-aromatic solvents (furan, thiophene) leads to biaryls or heterobiaryls. t-Butyl nitrite is more convenient than isopentyl nitrite which gives by-products. This new method has been used to synthesize 28 compounds in 17 to 60% yield.
