Hydrodimerisation electrochimique de cetones aromatiques encombrees en milieu aprotique et en presence de chlorure de chrome

The electrochemical reduction of hindered aromatic ketones which are difficult to reduce alone, can be achieved in an aprotic medium (DMF) on a mercury pool cathode, in presence of Cr(III) chloride, at the reduction potential or the Cr(II)/Cr(0) system, but at a less negative potential than that of the ketone itself. There is selective hydrodimerisation into an α-glycol, with total lack of polymerisation. With dissymetric ketones, the dl-diastereoisomers of the diols are produced. The effect of chromium is due either to the reduction of a Cr-ketone complex or to the reduction of the ketone by a film of colloidal chromium on the electrode surface.

Influnce des interactions de torsion dans la reduction des cetones par les hydrures interpretation generale du deroulement sterique de la reduction des cetones acycliques et de l'addition des organomagnesiens sur les aldehydes acycliques

Reduction of ketones L-CHMe-CO-R [L=Ph and Cy(Cy = cyclohexyl) and R=Me, Et, iPr and tBu] affords pairs of diastereoisomeric alcohols L-CHMe-CHOH-R. The predominant diastereoisomer is always that predicted by Cram's rule, and the stereoselectivity of the reaction generally increases as R is made more bulky. Thus, with LiAlH₄ in ether at 35°, the diastereoisomer ratios are respectively 2.8:1, 3.2:1, 5.0:1, and 49:1 when L=Ph and 1.6:1, 2.0:1, 4.1:1, and 1.6:1 when L=Cy. With NaBH₄ in isopropanol at 50°, these ratios are respectively 1.6:1, 2.0:1, 2.7:1, and 7.3:1 when L=Ph, and 1.2:1, 1.6:1, 3.2:1, and 3.5:1 when L=Cy. It is suggested that an important factor determining the steric course of the reduction of both open-chain ketones and cyclohexanones is torsional strain in the transition state, and that torsional strain involving partial bonds can represent a substantial fraction of the strain between fully-formed bonds, even when the degree of bonding is quite low. This postulate has been made the basis of an internally consistent interpretation of the steric course of the reaction between carbonyl compounds and nucleophilic reagents such as hydrides and Grignard reagents.

Sur le role fondamental du cation alcalin dans la reduction des cetones par les hydrures metalliques. Utilisation de coordinats macrocycliques—II: La stereoselection dans le cas ou intervient le modele cyclique (etude d'uen cetone aziridinique)

Dramatic changes in the stereoselectivity in the course of the reduction of N-tert-butyl 2-acetyl aziridine are observed when altering experimental procedures. Ratios 98% of the S^*R^* isomer and 75% of the R^*R^* isomer can be obtained. This phenomenon is controlled by the alkaline cation (Na⁺ or Li⁺). Utilization of macrocyclic ligands allows the reaction to be run free of the alkaline cation.     

Etude theorique de la reactivite des ions libres intervenant dans la polymerisation anionique de quelques monomeres vinyliques

The reactivities have been calculated for free ions involved in anionic polymerization of vinyl monomers. The copolymerization constants k_AB available in the literature are compared to the stabilization energies involved in the reaction of carbanions with the same monomer. The reactivities of carbanions of living poly (2-vinyl pyridine), poly styrene and poly (substituted styrenes) with respect to 1-1,diphenylethylene have been computed. The rate constants of homopolymerisation have been compared with the variation of π energy between the “monomer” and “carbanion” states of these monomers. The occurrence of side-reactions during the polymerization of vinyl-pyridine has been investigated using quantum chemistry methods.     

Etude de la conductivite anionique dans quelques fluorures amorphes obtenus par hypertrempe

Fluoride ion conductivity has been investigated in amorphous materials obtained in the BaF₂-ZnF₂, PbF₂-ZnF₂ and BaF₂-MnF₂ systems using both NMR and complex impedance techniques. The activation energies appear to be about 0.53 eV with a good agreement between both methods. Ionic conductivities have been found to be larger than 10^-5ω^-1cm^-1 at 180°C, values which are among the best ones so far obtained for fluorine conducting glasses.

Alkylation de quelques composés carbonylés par des groupes tertiaires. Utilisation de la réaction de friedel-crafts dans la synthèse d'ésters

t-Alkylation of carboxylic esters via their ketene alkyl trimethylsilyl acetals by the Friedal-Crafts reaction allows the synthesis of new highly hindered compounds. A new route using sodium amide in dimethoxyethane, for the preparation of trimethylsilylenol ethers of ketones, is described. The α-t-butylation of these compounds permits the synthesis of new crowded pentasubstituted ketones. The limits as well as the performance of the method have been studied.
