Conformation et Spectrometrie de RMN. III. Spectres 13C de Diméthylamino Cyclanols et Dérivés

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-dimethylaminocyclohexanols and the four trans-3-dimethylamino-2-decahydronaphtols are described. The gauche interactions allow precise estimation of chemical shifts for each carbon atom; thus, band attribution can be resolved without mistake. In the case of the cis and the trans diequatorial compounds, the conformational perturbations which we have suggested before are verified by our present measurements on the substituted carbon atoms. We also show effects on adjacent atoms, which were unobservable with the usual IR and ¹H NMR techniques.     

Alcoylation d'acridanone-9. Premiers exemples de O-alcoylation dans cette série de composés

The results of nucleophilic substitution of the 2-methoxy-9-acridone are discussed in terms of competition between both ionic sites N^? and O^?, of the molecule. They are the first examples of O-alkylation of substituted 9-acridone.     

Analyse Conformationnelle de Pseudoprotoberbérines Naturelles. II. Etude Structurale par RMN de 13C des Tétrahydropseudoprotoberbérines provenant de I'Isopyrum thalictroïdes

The four pseudoprotoberberins extracted from Isopyrum thalictroides L. were reduced with sodium borohydride to the corresponding tetrahydropseudoprotoberberins. Comparison between the ¹³C NMR spectra of these and of synthetic protoberberins allowed us to assign a trans-1 configuration to the four reduced alkaloids and also to provide for this particular configuration an unequivocal criterion for the differentiation (based on the chemical shift of C-8) between tetrahydroprotoberberins (9, 10 substituted) and tetrahydropseudoprotoberberins (10, 11 substituted).     

Sur la synthèse de quelques furochromènes,analogues pharmacochimiques de la xanthylétine et de la séseline

Some furochromenes substituted at the 2-position by an electron-attracting group were obtained starting from ortho-hydroxyformyl derivatives of 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene following various processes which are indicated. These new furochromenes are pharmacochemical analogues of some natural pyranocoumarins, and as such they are potential photosensitizers.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also discussed.     

Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire en phase nématique. Exploration de la barrière d'empêchement à la libre rotation pour le fluorure d'acroyle et l'acroléine

The NMR spectrum of acrolein and acroyl fluoride (CH₂?CH? COX with X?H and F) oriented in a nematic phase has been measured and information about conformational equilibrium s-cis ? s-trans has been obtained. The barrier to internal rotation of the COX group has been studied with various hypotheses. Good agreement between experimental and calculated spectra has been obtained using the potential equation V(?) = Σ_nV_n(1 – cos n?)/2, with V₁ = ?200 cal mol^?1, V₂ = 1500 cal mol^?1 and V₃ = 400 cal mol^?1 for the fluorine compound, and V₁ = 1200 cal mol^?1, V₂ = 3000 cal mol^?1 and V₃ = 2000 cal mol^?1 for acrolein; this last compound is found to be mostly in the s-trans conformation.     

Etude de la fragmentation par impact électronique de dérivés du benzothiazole

Study of Electron-Impact Fragmentation of Benzothiazole Derivatives The mass spectra of eighteen substituted benzothiazoles are reported and discussed. All these compounds are thermodynamically stable and give an intense molecular ion, which undergoes different types of fragmentation depending on the nature of the substituent which is rarely eliminated directly. β-Cleavage with respect to the heterocyclic double bond is often observed. Specific ²H-, ¹³C-, ¹⁵N- and ³⁴S-labelling have been used in order to confirm the fragmentation patterns.     

Effets de Substituants en Série Diazolique et Diazinique-1,3—Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du Carbone-13

We have recorded the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of thiones and thioethers in the 1,3-diazole and 1,3-diazine series with various alkyl substituents at the nitrogen atoms. Some analogous oxygen containing heterocycles were also examined. We have shown that in the thiocarbonylated compounds the thiol ? thione equilibrium is displaced towards the thione form, but that ¹³C n.m.r. gives only qualitative results. In the sulphur containing derivatives the isopropyl group is in a fixed conformational position because of the steric hindrance of the sulphur atom. Substitution by a tert-butyl group leads to unexpected γ values. We ascribe this phenomenon to ring deformation or to variations in the valence angles of the substituted nitrogen atoms.     

Etude de la Barrière de Rotation et du Couplage 5J d'α-Formylpyrroles Stériquement Encombrés

α-formylpyrroles substituted on the nitrogen atom by groups of increasing steric hindrance show no significant modification in the value of their stereospecific ⁵J coupling constants. In the i.Pr-1 and s.Bu-1 formyl-2 pyrroles, the existence of a preferential conformation has been shown. Studies of rotational barriers indicate a twist only for the t.Bu-1 formyl-2 pyrrole molecule. The stability of the ⁵J value relative to this last compound is attributed to a relay of the σ—σ mechanism by a σ—π transmission.     

Etudes conformationnelles par Résonance Magnetique Nucléaire et variations de températures d'éthanes di- et trisubstitués

In this paper we report the conformational analysis of several di- or trisubstituted ethanes substituted by the following groups: N-dialkly, thioalkyl, alkoxy, N-pyrrolidino, N-benzyl, nitrile or carbomethoxy. Spectra were calculated by a method based on chemical shifts. Relative stabilities of rotamers were discussed in relation to structural parameters (geometrical and electronic).     

Extension de la méthode du «logarithme limite» [1] pour la détermination de la composition et de la constante de stabilité des complexes

A study of the conditions of applicability to weak complexes of the relation log x = v log V + log (β_v,cC^c) = f(logV), where V and C are variable and constant total concentrations of the constituants of the complexe, shows that for conditions other than C ? V, another function φ(log V) accounts better for the formation equilibrium of the complexe. From f(log V) and φ (log V) a relation t(log V) is derived whose simple analysis permits the determination of the composition and the stability constant of weak complexes. Applications are given to 1:1, 1:2, 2:2 composition.     

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).     

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).     

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).     

Application de la Résonance Magnétique de l'Azote 15 à l'Etude de la Délocalisation Electronique dans les Anilines,Aminopyridines et Enamines

¹⁵N spectroscopy at natural abundance has been applied to the study of electronic delocalization in the N? C bond of a series of substituted anilines. The relationships which offer a good way for evaluating the extent of electronic delocalization from ¹⁵N chemical shift data in anilines have been extended to aminopyridines, aminopyrimidines and nucleosides. The results obtained for C? N bonds in the case of anilines and aliphatic enamines are consistent with those concerning amides and analogous compounds. The validity of ΔG^≠-δ¹⁵N relationships for predicting π delocalization is discussed in terms of the relative contribution of δ- or π-density and non-bonded atom interactions to the total barrier height.     

Synthèse de spiro-pyrazolines par cycloaddition du diazométhane sur des sucres insaturés ramifiés. Influence de l'isomérie géométrique sur l'orientation de la réaction Communication préliminaire

The orientation of the cycloaddition of diazomethane on unsaturated branchedchain sugars has been studied. For 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-tetrofuranose the orientation was ‘normal’ and did not depend on the configuration at the double bond. The same situation prevailed with derivatives of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose. For the 3-C-acylmethylidene- and the 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo-hexofuranoses, the trans-(H–C(3′)–C(2))-isomer gave the ‘normal’ cycloadduct whereas the cis-isomer gave predominantly the αabnormal spiro-pyrazoline. This observation represents the first instance where the regioselectivity of a cycloaddition reaction is affected by the geometrical isomerism of the dipolarophile. The most probable explanation of the phenomenon is the conformational perturbation about the C(4)--C(5) bond of the unsaturated sugars induced by a change in the configuration at C(3). The consequence of that ‘conformational transmission’ of a difference in configuration at C(3) is that the steric crowding on the cis- than in the trans-isomer. Several novel examples of a new series of C-glycosylidenic derivatives, the spiro-pyrazolines, are described.     

Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du Carbone-13 de N-Aryl Pyrazolines-2 Diversement Substituées. Effets de Substituant et Etude Conformationnelle

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline and 25 N-nitrophenyl-2-pyrazolines, with different substituents on the heterocyclic ring, have been assigned. These values are discussed as a function of the steric and electronic nature of the various substituents. The steric effects produced conformational modifications, both in the nitrophenyl and 2-pyrazoline moieties, which explain some of the chemical shifts.     

Synthèse de composés cyclopentaniques chiraux,di, tri et tétrasubstitués. Application à la synthèse de dérivés Oxa-13-prostanoïques

The cyclopentenecarbaldehyde 1a , acetals 2a , 2b and the cyclopentenone 2c have been transformed through regio and stereocontrolled reactions into a variety of enantiomerically pure substituted cyclopentanes. Using appropriately selected Wittig reagents, aldehyde 1a furnished the condensation products 3 , 4 , 5 . Michael addition of diethyl malonate on the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 1a under phasetransfer conditions led efficiently to 7 . Reduction of the cyclopentenone 2c gave 21 in high yield. The cyclopentenes 2a , 2b and 23 , submitted to hydroboration-oxidation furnished the cyclopentanols 10 , 13 and 24 , respectively, in 30, 70 and 50% yields, reflecting the substitution pattern of the starting alkenes. The salient feature of these reactions is the stereospecificity due to the chiral centre of the molecules 1a , 2a , 2b and 2c , leading to compounds with two, three and four asymmetric centres. The straightforward synthesis of 11α-hydroxy-13-oxaprostanoic acid 20 is described and an approach towards the preparation of 9α, 11α-dihydroxy-13-oxaprostanoic acid 34 is also presented. The structure of these products has been determined by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy.     

Déconjugaison d'énones dérivées de sucres Communication préliminaire

Deconjugation of sugars enones. Preliminary Communication Branched-chain sugar enones 1 and 2 ( R = Ac) deconjugated toposelectively (only the E isomers reacting) to 3 . The same phenomenon was noted in the case of Z- 4 which gave E- 5 . The kinetic parameters of these reactions favored a concerted mechanism, i.e. a [1, 5]-sigmatropic shift.     

Interactions intramoleculaires: XXII—Constantes de couplage, équilibres conformationnels et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (molécules cyclohexéniques deutériées)

The NMR parameters are determined for a series of disubstituted (R = CH₃, (CH₃)₃C; X = COOCH₃, CN) and specifically deuterated cyclohexenes. The ³ J(HH), ³J(HD), ⁴J(HH) and ⁵ J(HH) coupling constants are used to evaluate the conformational equilibria. Three of the five compounds with an allylic t-butyl substituent, are conformationally heterogeneous; these equilibria, and those between stereoisomers are used for an analysis of this phenomenon, carried out within the framework of the hypothesis of additivity of conformational free energies and gauche interactions.
