Influence de la solvatation par le tert-butanol sur la structure et la reactivite de l'enolate de potassium de l'acetylacetate d'ethyle en presence de couronne ou de cryptand. etude par spectrometrie infra-rouge et cinetique

The structure and the nucleophilic reactivity of crowned (18-crown-6) or cryptated {cryptand (2.2.2)} potassium ethyl acetoacetate enolate have been compared in tert-butanol and in DME (or THF). In the protic solvent tert-butanol, the crowned and the cryptated potassium enolate species both exist as loose ion pairs in which the enolate anion, strongly hydrogen-bonded to the solvent, is in a “transoid” (non chelating) conformation. Both species show similar reactivities towards alkylating agents but completely different reactivities are observed in aprotic weakly dissociating media (THF, DME). In contrast to what is observed in tert-butanol, the cryptated species and the crowned species have very different nucleophilic reactivities in THF or DME; in those solvents only the cryptated species retains a loose ion pair structure; the crowned species is a contact ion pair in which the enolate anion chelates the potassium cation. The solvation of this crowned chelate species by tert-butanol has been demonstrated in binary mixtures of solvents (C₆D₆-t-BuOH, THF-t-BuOH). The oxygen basicity of the enolate anion is very different in the crowned chelated ion pair compared with the cryptand separated ion pair.     

Alcoylation des enolates de l'acetylacetate d'ethyle dans le dimethoxyethane. Reactivite des formes associee et dissociee

The alkylation of alkali metal and N⁺Bu₄ ethylacetoacetate énolates by means of ethyl iodide, bromide and tosylate has been studied in diméthoxyéthane, in order to measure the reactivity of the associated forms. C/O alkylation ratios, structures of O-alkylated products and rates of alkylation, have been determined. With ethyl tosylate, the amount of O-alkylated products does not increase in the generally observed order Li⁺ < Na⁺ < K⁺ < Cs⁺ but in the order Na⁺ < K⁺ < Li⁺ ≈ Cs⁺. Some aspects of the alkali ethylacetoacetate énolates reactivity in weakly polar medium such as DME are discussed.     

Sur la reaction de reformatsky. Preparation et reactivite de l'organozincique issu du sel bromozincique de l'acide γ-bromocrotonique

The condensation of aldehydes and ketones with the bronozinc salt derived from γ-bromocrotonic acid, in the presence of zinc, yield to the “linear” and “branched” unsaturated hydroxyacids. These latters, which represent the cinetic products of the reaction, equilibrate at the alcoolate state to give, after hydrolysis, the “linear” compounds.     

Sinthese de copolymeres sequences de l'acetate de vinyle et de l'acrylate d'ethyle par telomerisation

A new two-step procedure for the synthesis of ethyl acrylate - vinyl acetate block copolymers is described : the first stage is the telomerisation of ethyl acrylate with carbon tetrachloride by redox catalysis, the second being another telomerisation of vinyl acetate, using the trichloromethyl end group of the first block as the telogen agent, with peroxydic initiation.     

Etude cinetique de la copolymerisation alternee de l'indene et du methacrylate de methyle en presence de sesquichlorure d'ethylaluminium

The copolymerization of indene with methyl methacrylate (MAM) initiated by u.v. irradiation, in the presence of ethylaluminium sesquichloride (SCEA) as a complexing agent, yields alternating copolymers when [Indene] ≥ [MAM] ≥ [SCEA]. Values of $\text{M}$_n of the copolymers range from 32,000 to 900,000, depending on the concentrations of the reagents, reaction temperature and intensity of u.v. light. The kinetics can be explained simply by assuming a statistical copolymerization of indene with a MAM-SCEA binary complex, but intervention of a ternary complex SCEA-MAM-indene cannot be discarded. At high MAM concentrations, the free MAM becomes involved in the copolymerization.     

Analyse viscosimetrique des telomeres de l'acrylate d'ethyle et du chlorure de vinyle avec le tetrachlorure de carbone et le trichloroacetate de methyle

Telomers of ethylacrylate and vinylchloride with carbon tetrachloride or methyltrichloroacetate have been prepared by redox catalysis. They have the expected viscometric behaviour which depends upon the nature of the telogen. Thus viscometry can be used for determination of average molecular weight for such compounds.     

Comparaison entre le role de l'eau et celui d'un ether couronne dans le cadre de la reaction de wittig realisee en milieu heterogene : liquide-solide

The similar results issued from the use of water and the 18-crown 6 ether for the Wittig reaction (in liquid-solid two-phase systems) allowed us to obtain very high yields in olefin starting from aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes.     

Structure de l'echitamidine,d'un stereoisomere et de deux regioisomeres

The relative configuration of echitamidine is established by spectral and X-ray crystallographic techniques. Three other isomers are described and a structure is proposed for them.     

Action comparée de l'eau oxygénée et d'un peracide sur un sel d'immonium pyrrolinique stéroïdique et sur l'énamine correspondante. Formation et propriétés d'un sel d'oxaziridinium

The reaction of a pyrrolinium salt with a peracid affords an oxaziridinium salt. The corresponding enamine reacts similarly to give products oxidized at the α-position to the nitrogen atom. These results are rationalized in terms of the formation of an intermediate oxaziridinium ion. The oxaziridinium salt reacts with nucleophiles to give either an carbinol iminium salt or products resulting from oxygen transfer.     

Stereochimie comparative de bromation,dans l'ether,d'enolates lithique et potassique,d'ethers d'enol methyliques et d'enols en serie 4-t.butyl 1-benzoyl cyclohexane et en serie β-phenyl butyrophenone

The steric course of bromination of cyclic and acyclic metal enolates in ether, independent of the nature of the metal (lithium or potassium), is identical to that of enols but very different from that of methyl enol ethers. The stereochemical results are compatible with the previously postulated six-centre cyclic halogenation mechanisms of enols     

Effet α. influence de la substitution sur l'exaltation de reactivite d'oximes vis-a-vis de l'acetate de p-nitrophenyle

Kinetic measurements show the relation between the magnitude of the “α effect” exhibited by trifluoromethyloximate anions RR'C=N-O^? and the electron attracting properties of the substituents. Indeed, the reactivity enhancement which is observed for α-trifluoromethyloximes is similar to that found in earlier studies of α-hydroxyiminoketones. This characteristic behaviour is no longer observed for oximes bearing an electron releasing substituent at the α-position of the hydroxyimino group. On the basis of sodium oximate molecular orbital energies the “α effect” induced by electron attracting substituents appears to depend on both the interactions of nitrogen and oxygen lone pairs of electrons and the lowering of the π^* vacant orbital thus favouring a secondary interaction between the π^* anion orbital and the π orbital of p-nitrophenylacetate carbonyl group.     

Sur la reactivite des organomagnesiens derivant de l'addition d'organomagnesiens allyliques sur l'isoprene

Contrary to a recent report, it is shown that allylic Grignard reagents prepared by treating allylic Grignard reagents with isoprene and a catalytic amount of Cp₂TiCl₂ react normally with carbon dioxide and carbonyl compounds: a complete allylic rearrangement is observed.     

Alkylation directe de cetones et d'aldehydes en presence de potasse solide en suspension

Dehydrated solid KOH, suspended in aprotic solvents, is used as a base for ketone and aldehyde alkylation. The best solvent as regards yields and selectivity is DME. The quantity of KOH depends on the carbonyl compound acidity. This method gives as good results as less convenient homogeneous conditions.
