Processus de rotation empêchée autour de plusieurs liaisons dans les sels de (N,N-diméthylamino-1 propényl-1-ylidène-3) diméthylammonium

The structural identification of some N,N-dimethyl-aminopropenylylidene-dimethylammonium salts has been achieved by NMR and UV spectrographic studies. Several processes of hindered rotation around C? N and C? C bonds are demonstrated. Free activation enthalpies are determined and discussed in terms of effects of the substituent, anion and solvent.     

Organocatalysis of CN/CN and CC/CN Exchange in Dynamic Covalent Chemistry

The reversibly formed C?N bond plays a very important role in dynamic covalent chemistry and the C?N/C?N exchange of components between different imine constituents to create dynamic covalent libraries has been extensively used. To facilitate diversity generation, we have investigated an organocatalyzed approach, using L ‐proline as catalyst, to accelerate the formation of dynamic libraries of [n×n] imine components. The organocatalysis methodology has also been extended, under somewhat modified conditions, to reversible C?C/C?N exchange processes between Knoevenagel derivatives of barbituric acid and imines, allowing for the generation of increased diversity.     

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%.     

Analyse conformationnelle par l'étude de RMN d'oximes de systèmes figés: Corrélation Δδ = f (angle dièdre)

The NMR spectra of syn-anti oxime isomers have been studied. A relationship between the magnitude of the α- protons' chemical shifts and the dihedral angle formed by the α C? H bond and the ?N? OH plane has been discussed. A correlation curve Δδ = f (dihedral angle) has been determined from sterically rigid models and used to evaluate the conformation of cyclic molecules, the geometry of which has not yet been studied. The geometry of the oxime is similar to the ketone, with the exception of sterically crowded models.     

Synthèse de sucres aminès ramifiés II. Synthèse et réactions de spiro-aziridines. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ or RMgX yields spiro-aziridines with two identical substituents on C(3′) (? H, ? CH₃, ? C₂H₅). Reactions of these products and their derivatives are briefly described. If the C(3′) substituents are protons, the aziridine ring is easily opened. In acidic media (HCl), an amino-sugar containing the branched chain ? CH₂Cl is produced; with hydrogenation, a ? CH₃ branched chain results. If the C(3′) substituents are methyl groups, the aziridine ring cannot be opened neither with HCl nor with hydrogen. The acetylated derivative of this latter compound rearranges to the corresponding allylamide with HCl. For both types of spiro-aziridine, the nitrous deamination leads to the corresponding alkene.     

Organocatalyzed and Uncatalyzed CC/CC and CC/CN Exchange Processes between Knoevenagel and Imine Compounds in Dynamic Covalent Chemistry

Molecular diversity generation through reversible component exchange has acquired great importance in the last decade with the development of dynamic covalent chemistry. We explore here the recombination of components linked by C?C and C?N bonds through reversible double‐bond formation, and cleavage in C?C/C?C and C?C/C?N exchange processes. The reversibility of the Knoevenagel reaction has been explored, and C?C/C?C C/C exchanges have been achieved among different benzylidenes, under organocatalysis by secondary amines such as L ‐proline. The substituents of these benzylidenes were shown to play a very important role in the kinetics of the exchange reactions. L ‐Proline is also used to catalyze the reversible C?C/C?C exchange between Knoevenagel derivatives of barbituric acid and malononitrile. Finally, the interconversion between Knoevenagel derivatives of dimethylbarbituric acid and imines (C?C/C?N exchange) has been studied and was found to occur rapidly in the absence of catalyst. The results of this study pave the way for the extension of dynamic combinatorial chemistry based on C?C/C?C and C?C/C?N exchange systems.     

Réactivité des silyl- et germylphosphines vis-à-vis de divers composés à insaturation CN: imines, α-diimines,N-acylimines et cétènimines

Silylphosphines R₃SiPR′₂ add on the C?N group of aldimines yielding phosphinylated silylamines of the structure . Hydrolysis of these adducts leads to the corresponding substituted aminomethyl-phosphines. In the reaction between α-diimines and silylphosphines or silyldiphosphines R₂Si(PR′₂)₂ the acyclic 1/1 and ½ addition compounds have been characterized. The adduct 1/1 obtained by the action of diethyl-hydrodimethylsilyl-phosphine on di-tert-butylimino-ethane undergoes in the presence of Wilkinson's catalyst, (Ph₃P)₃RhCl, an intramolecular Si-H/C?N cyclisation leading to a phosphinylated siladiazolidine. Silylphosphines add to N-acylimines in 1,4 position to form phosphinylated siloxyimines. The methanolysis of the latter derivatives is an novel method of preparation of phosphinylated amides. Silyl- and germylphosphines react on the C?N groupement of cetimines. The hydrolysis of the adducts (N-metallated enamines) leads to C-phosphinylated imines.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXI. Utilisation en chimie des sucres du synthon bromo-2-cyano-2-éthényle. Communication préliminaire

C-Glycosyl derivatives XXXI. Some uses in Carbohydrate Chemistry of the 2-bromo-2-cyano ethenyl synthon Sugars bearing the synthon 2-bromo-2-cyano-ethenyl, ? CαH?Cγ(Br)C?N, reacted with binucleophiles, gave rise to α, α, α, β or α, γ ring-forming reactions. C-glycosyl-dioxolanes, -aziridines, -dithianes, -pyrimidines, -furanes and -pyrazoles were so obtained. The stereochemical paths of some of these reactions are discussed.     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXII. Aryl(ou aralcoyl ou alcoyl)amino-2-tétrahydro-m-thiazines ou aryl(ou aralcoyl ou alcoyl)amino-2-dihydro-Δ2-m-thiazines et dérivés

3-Aminopropanol reacts with aryl(or aralkyl or alkyl)isothiocyanates R? N?C?S to yield the corresponding thio-ureas R? NH? CS? NH? (CH₂)₃OH which, refluxed with hydrochloric acid, are cyclized by elimination of water. The cyclization products are identical with the hydrothiazines resulting by elimination of sulfate or phosphate from the sulfuric or phosphoric monoesters of these thio-ureas. The resulting hydrothiazines are either 2-(R-imino)-tetrahydro-m-thiazines (I) or 2-(R-amino)-dihydro-Δ²-m-thiazines (II). Their structure has been established by comparison of their spectra with those of model compounds in one of which the C?N double bond is certainly endocyclic (2-methyl-dihydro-Δ²-m-thiazine), the other presenting an exocyclic C?N double bond (3-methyl-2-phenylimino-tetrahydro-m-thiazine). When R is an aryl group, the C?N double bond is exocyclic (structure I with >C?N? Ar), and one may presume that this structure is stabilized by resonance. When R is an aralkyl or an alkyl group, the C?N double bond is endocyclic (structure II). The nmr spectra were taken with three types of solvent: CDCl₃ or CCl₄; (CD₃)₂SO; CF₃COOH. In CF₃COOH solution the benzylic protons of the hydrothiazine with R = pF? C₆H₄CH₂? couple with NH (J=5,5cps) which confirms the endocyclic position of the C?N double bond in this case.     

1,4,4‐Tri­methyl‐9‐phenyl‐8‐oxa‐9‐aza­bi­cyclo­[3.2.2]­non‐6‐en‐2‐one

The structure of the adduct of eucarvone with nitro­so­benzene, C₁₆H₁₉NO₂, is reported. The [3.2.2] bicyclic system corresponds to two seven‐membered rings in boat and distorted chair conformations and a six‐membered ring that adopts a distorted boat conformation. No conjugation is observed between the phenyl group and the N—O system. The packing is directed mainly by a C?O hydrogen bond, C—H?O‐(1 ? x, ?y, z) and by intermolecular C—H?π interactions.     

Recherches sur la stéréochimie des diènes fonctionnels—X: Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire d'alcoxybutadiènes 1,3

The nuclear magnetic resonance parameters of 1,3 alkoxy-butadienes are strongly dependent on the cis or trans configuration of the ethylenic systems. A discussion of the different types of coupling constants and of the additivity of substituent effects on the chemical shift is proposed. The results are applied to the identification of isomers and to the study of the electronic and stereochemical structure of each configuration. The conformational equilibrium about the C? C and C? O bonds is discussed with special reference to the aromatic solvent and temperature effects.     

Unusual Nitrile–Nitrile and Nitrile–Alkyne Coupling of FcCN and FcCCCN

The reactions of the Group 4 metallocene alkyne complexes, [Cp*₂M(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃)] ( 1 a : M=Ti, 1 b : M=Zr, Cp*=η⁵‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), with the ferrocenyl nitriles, Fc?C?N and Fc?C?C?C?N (Fc=Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(η⁵‐C₅H₄)), is described. In case of Fc?C?N an unusual nitrile–nitrile C?C homocoupling was observed and 1‐metalla‐2,5‐diaza‐cyclopenta‐2,4‐dienes ( 3 a , b ) were obtained. As the first step of the reaction with 1 b , the nitrile was coordinated to give [Cp*₂Zr(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃)(N?C‐Fc)] ( 2 b ). The reactions with the 3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐propyne‐nitrile Fc?C?C?C?N lead to an alkyne–nitrile C?C coupling of two substrates and the formation of 1‐metalla‐2‐aza‐cyclopenta‐2,4‐dienes ( 4 a , b ). For M=Zr, the compound is stabilized by dimerization as evidenced by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The electrochemical behavior of 3 a , b and 4 a , b was investigated, showing decomposition after oxidation, leading to different redox‐active products.     

Atom‐Economical Synthesis of Complex Heterocycles with NO Moiety

A concise and facile method for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with N? O tether was introduced. The two important steps of the synthesis are a Mitsunobu reaction and C? H activation. The Mitsunobu protocol allows to form the N? O moiety in the molecule, while subsequent C? H activation leads to heterocycles.     

The competition of Y⋯o and X⋯n halogen bonds to enhance the group V σ‐hole interaction in the NCY⋯oPH3⋯NCX and OPH3⋯NCX⋯NCY (X,YF,Cl, and Br) complexes

The positive electrostatic potentials (ESP) outside the σ‐hole along the extension of O? P bond in O?PH₃ and the negative ESP outside the nitrogen atom along the extension of the C? N bond in NCX could form the Group V σ‐hole interaction O?PH₃?NCX. In this work, the complexes NCY?O?PH₃?NCX and O?PH₃?NCX?NCY (X, Y?F, Cl, Br) were designed to investigate the enhancing effects of Y?O and X?N halogen bonds on the P?N Group V σ‐hole interaction. With the addition of Y?O halogen bond, the V _{S, max} values outside the σ‐hole region of O?PH₃ becomes increasingly positive resulting in a stronger and more polarizable P?N interaction. With the addition of X?N halogen bond, the V _{S, min} values outside the nitrogen atom of NCX becomes increasingly negative, also resulting in a stronger and more polarizable P?N interaction. The Y?O halogen bonds affect the σ‐hole region (decreased density region) outside the phosphorus atom more than the P?N internuclear region (increased density region outside the nitrogen atom), while it is contrary for the X?N halogen bonds. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Constantes de couplage vicinales à travers deux hétéroatomes: III—Calculs théoriques et mesures expérimentales dans les hydrazides enrichies en 15N

Different calculations, among them those utilizing the finite perturbation theory with INDO wave functions, have been effected to calculate the value of the ³J(¹H ? N? N? ¹H ) coupling constant in hydrazides as a function of the dihedral angle. Experimental coupling constants have been compared with calculated ones in order to determine the conformation around the N? N bond. The first example of a ²J(¹H ? N? ¹⁵N ) coupling is described.     

Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed CC and CO Coupling of Quinoline N‐Oxides with Alkynes: Combination of CH Activation with O‐Atom Transfer

[Cp*Rh^III]‐catalyzed C? H activation of arenes assisted by an oxidizing N? O or N? N directing group has allowed the construction of a number of hetercycles. In contrast, a polar N? O bond is well‐known to undergo O‐atom transfer (OAT) to alkynes. Despite the liability of N? O bonds in both C? H activation and OAT, these two important areas evolved separately. In this report, [Cp*Rh^III] catalysts integrate both areas in an efficient redox‐neutral coupling of quinoline N‐oxides with alkynes to afford α‐(8‐quinolyl)acetophenones. In this process the N? O bond acts as both a directing group for C? H activation and as an O‐atom donor.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XII Dérivés du D-arabino-hexène-1-tétrol-3,4,5,6

The preparation of several kinds of derivatives of 1-substituted D -arabinc-hex-1-ene-3,4,5,6-tetrols is described. Some of these compounds, having a ‘pseudo-formyl’ group (? CH?CHCN, ? CH?CHSO₂CH₃) are ‘pseudo-aldehydo-sugars’. Their ability to react as aldehydo-sugars was examined in light of their ¹³C-NMR. spectra which provide information on their electron density at C(1) and C(2).

Palladium‐catalyzed domino C?H/N?H functionalization for the synthesis of novel nitrogen‐bridged thienoacenes and 10H‐benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2‐b]indole derivatives from dihaloarene is reported. This domino sequence consists of initial C?H functionalization of the benzo[b]thiophene moiety, followed by Buchwald–Hartwig coupling. This transformation is also useful for the synthesis of highly π‐extended compounds.

Influence of the Homopolar Dihydrogen Bonding CH⋅⋅⋅HC on Coordination Geometry: Experimental and Theoretical Studies

The reaction of the N‐thiophosphorylated thiourea (HOCH₂)(Me)₂CNHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)₂ (HL), deprotonated by the thiophosphorylamide group, with NiCl₂ leads to green needles of the pseudotetrahedral complex [Ni(L‐1,5‐S,S′)₂] ? 0.5 (n‐C₆H₁₄) or pale green blocks of the trans square‐planar complex trans‐[Ni(L‐1,5‐S,S′)₂]. The former complex is stabilized by homopolar dihydrogen C?H???H?C interactions formed by n‐hexane solvent molecules with the [Ni(L‐1,5‐S,S′)₂] unit. Furthermore, the dispersion‐dominated C?H??? H?C interactions are, together with other noncovalent interactions (C?H???N, C?H???Ni, C?H???S), responsible for pseudotetrahedral coordination around the Ni^II center in [Ni(L ‐1,5‐S,S′)₂] ? 0.5 (n‐C₆H₁₄).
