Préparation,configuration et réduction électrochimique d'α-cyano β-nitrostyrènes. Synthèse d'amino-5 isoxazoles

Z α-Cyano-β-nitrostyrenes were prepared by nitration with dinitrogentetroxide of the corresponding α-cyanostyrenes. Elsomers were obtained by photoirradiation of Z isomers. The electrochemical reduction of these cyanonitro compounds generates the α-cyanooximes which lead, according to the experimental conditions(ring closure or hydrolysis), either to 5-aminoisoxazoles or to β-ketonitriles.     

Perhydroisoindoliniums et perhydroisoquinoliniums: Préparation et étude stéréochimique

By cyclization in aqueous media, 2-aminomethyl 1-alcynyl 1-cyclohexanols lead to perhydroisoindolinium or perhydroisoquinolinium salts. The stereochemistry of isolated diastereoisomers is elucidated. A stereoselectivity favouring trans junction of the rings is pointed out.     

Réductions chimique et électrochimique de benzopyranno-1 as-triazines

Electrochemical reduction of [1]benzopyranno[4,3-e]-as-triazinones gives 1,4-dihydro derivatives which can either rearrange into 4,4a-dihydro compounds or be reduced with ring contraction into benzopyranno-imidazolones. The reaction of Grignard reagents on benzopyrannotriazines leads to a reduction in –α position of the benzene ring (4,4a-dihydro). Electrochemical reduction gives the 1,4-dihydro derivative which rearrange into the 1,10a-dihydro compound. The 1,4-dihydro derivatives are reduced with triazine ring contraction to give benzopyrannoimidazoles. Dihydro-1,10a compounds can be reduced into imidazoles or into tetrahydro derivatives.     

Synthèse,réduction chimique et électrochimique de benzopyranno[1][4,3-e] et [3,4-e]pyrimido[1,2-b]-as-triazinones

From 9H-amino [l]benzopyranno-as-triazines 2 and 3 , [l]ben-zopyranno[4,3-e] or [3,4-e]pyrimido[l,2-b]-as-triazinones have been prepared by reaction with β-ketoesters. Chemical reduction of the compounds gives tetrahydro derivatives. By electrochemical reduction the dihydro compounds 14 and 15 were from-ed. The same dihydro derivatives were obtained with Grignard reagents.     

Syntheses d'α,β-fluoroamines et d'α-fluorocetones par action de l'acide fluorhydrique sur des aziridines et des azirines

Addition of hydrogen fluoride to phenyl aziridines gives α,β-fluoroamines. Regioselectivity and stereochemistry of the reaction are discussed. Phenyl azirines add hydrogen fluoride to give, after hydrolysis, α-fluoroketones.     

Etude Stéréochimique par RMN 1H de Tetrahydropyrannes β-Chlorés α-Substitués

The ¹H NMR study of 2-alkyl-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of Grignard reagents with a mixture of cis/trans-2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows cis/trans configuration of two isomers in which the alkyl substituents are exclusively in the equatorial position. 3-Chloro-2-phenyltetrahydropyran exists in trans (eq-eq) configuration only. The ¹H NMR study of cis/trans 2-alkoxy (or aryloxy)-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of alcohols or phenol with 2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows the axial position of the alkoxy (or aryloxy) substituent.     

Additions radicalaires du tétrahydrothiophène à des dérivés éthyléniques: Préparation de tétrahydrothiophènes substitués en 2

Di-t-butyl peroxide induces a free radical addition of tetrahydrothiophene to ethylenic compounds. The main products arise from an α-attack of the substrate. This reaction seems to be an interesting synthesis of these heterocycles.     

Aza-2-diènes-1,3 4. Préparation et propriétés d'alkyl-1-pyrazone-imines et de leurs isomères

2-Aza-1,3-dienes. Synthesis and Properties of 1-Alkylpyrazone-imines and their Tautomers Treatment of 5-dialkylamino-1,1-dicyano-2-aza-1,3-dienes (or their 1-methoxycarbonyl analogoues) with primary amines gives substituted 1-alkyl-3-cyano-(or methoxycarbonyl-)pyrazoneimines. Tautomeric behaviour, nucleophilic addition to imino function and spectroscopic data of these isomers are examined.     

Synthèse d'oxaphénalènes substitués en position 2 par un groupement électro-attractif

Up to now, little is known about naphtho[1,8-bc]pyran (oxaphenalene) derivatives, although some of them have been detected in the vegetable kingdom. However, very recently [6], 2-nitronaphtho[1,8-bc]pyran and 6-methoxy-2-nitronaphtho[1,8-bc]pyran proved to be powerful mutagenic agents (the most efficient on mammal cells in culture hitherto known). This fact prompted us to investigate further this class of products by studying compounds bearing an electron-withdrawing group in the 2-position. We report in the present paper that, in certain cases, this synthesis can be achieved by the yet unattempted péri-heterocyclization of 8-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydes with an halogenated active methylene compound in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate. Thus, among others, 2-acetyl, 2-benzoyl and (4-methoxybenzoyl)naphtho[1,8-bc]pyrans, as well as the corresponding derivatives bearing a methoxy group in the 6-position have been prepared. Nevertheless, such a condensation according to Rap [1] cannot be carried out in certain cases, particularly with acetonitrile.     

Stéréosélectivité et régiosélectivité de la réduction des cyclopropènes-2,3 et méthylène-2 cyclopropanes fonctionalisés en position 1

Reduction of 2 cyclopropenyl esters and alcohols with lithium aluminium hydride is selective; at low temperatures (0°) the double bond is not reduced, but at higher temperatures (65°) the reduction is complete and only the cyclopropylmethanol is obtained. The reduction of the double bond is regioselective (the most stable carbanion is formed) and stereospecific (the hydride attack on the double bond occurs cis to the functional group). This stereospecificity can be explained through the initial formation of an alkoxylaluminium hydride followed by an intramolecular reduction of the double bond. Similar results have been obtained in the reduction of functionalised methylenecyclopropanes.     

Constitution moléculaire d'α,ω-difluoropolydiméthyl-N-méthylsilazanes. Equilibres obtenus par une réaction de redistribution

Unlike the α,ω-dihalogenopolydimethylsiloxanes, the α,ω-dichloropolydimethyl-N-methylsilazanes show a net preference for cyclic species with respect to linear structures at equilibrium. The aim of this study is to evaluate the perturbations in the molecular constitution of these α,ω-dihalogenopolydimethyl-N-methylsilazanes resulting from the substitution of the terminal chlorine atoms by fluorine atoms. This polymeric family was prepared by reacting (CH₃)₂SiF₂ with nonamethylsilazane [(CH₃)₂SiNCH₃]₃. The redistribution of the fluorine atoms with the bridging methylimino groups reached an equilibrium after about 5 months' heating at 150°C for all the samples prepared. The relative abundance of the various molecular species and fragments at equilibrium was deduced from the quantitative analysis of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The molecular constitution at equilibrium is described by two constants. The first, K = [neso] [middles in chains]/[terminal moieties]² = (2.8 ± 0.8) 10^?2, shows that the presence of terminal fluorine atoms is unfavorable to the formation of short chains. On the other hand, the trimeric cyclic species [(CH₃)₂SiNCH₃]₃ are found to be highly favored (K°₃ = 550 ± 100 mole/liter). These observations further confirm that the equilibrium constants which control the noncyclic part of polymeric families depend little on the functionality of the substituents exchanged [for example, on changing from ? N(CH₃)₂ to ? NCH₃? ] when the reorganization heat order is one.     

Préparation de dérivés de sucres acétyléniques terminaux et d'acides ynuroniques par réaction de Wittig. Note de laboratoire

Synthesis of Terminal Acetylenic Sugars Derivatives and Ynuronic Acids Derivatives by Use of a Wittig Reaction The method described for the preparation of terminal acetylenic sugars presents two advantages over earlier procedures: no new asymmetric center is created and the chain can be extended by one or more C-atoms. The method also allows preparation of ynuronic acids. The aldehydosugars derivatives 1–7 gave in good to excellent yields the corresponding gem-dibromoenoses 8–14 from which either the terminal acetylenic sugars derivatives 15–21 or the ynuronic acids 22–24 were easily prepared. A few examples of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (leading to 28–30 ) with these acetylenic sugar derivatives are also described.     

Synthèse d'azido dithiényl-1,2 éthènes et éthanes

Two convenient preparations of azido-1,2-dithienylethenes are described. The synthesis of azido-1,2-dithienylethanes proceeds via metalation (n-Buli) and subsequent treatment by tosylazide of bromo-1,2-dithienyl-ethanes. The structures of the obtained derivatives were established on the basis of ¹H nmr, ir, and mass spectral data.     

Transformation,par 1′anhydride acètique,d'aldèhydes à caractére èlectrophile prononcè; catalyse par des pyridines. 1. Acyloïnes et hydrates di-o-acètylès d'aldèhydes

2-Benzothiazole-carbaldehyde is transformed into di-O-acetyl-enol-(benzothiazolecarboxyl-2)-oin in the presence of acetic anhydride and of pyridine as catalyst. Without pyridine or with 2,6-lutidine no reaction occurs. A mechanism of this reaction is proposed. No reaction was observed in the case of benzaldehyde. Choral reacts with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine as well as of 2,6-lutidine as catalyst to give 1,1-diacetoxy-2,2,2-trichloro-ethane. A mechanism is proposed, in which in an intermediate state the acetate ion (and not pyridine, for steric reasons) attacks the carbon of the carbonyl function of the conjugate acid with the acetylium cation to yield 1,1-diacetoxy-2,2,2-trichloro-ethane. These two reactions occur only with aldehydes whose carbonyl is very electrophilic, and seem to be a possible way to point out the presence of an acylium cation in pyridine medium.     

Synthèse de sucres aminés ramifiés III. Synthèse et réactions de 1′α-amino-nitrile dérivé du di-O-isopropylidène-1,2:5,6-α-D-ribo-hexofurannosul-3-ose

The addition of cyanohydric acid to 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofurannos-3-ulose can be sterically controlled. Under kinetic conditions, the allo cyanohydrine epimer is formed, under thermodynamic conditions, the gluco epimer is formed. The configuration of these two products is proved by their chemical reactions. Hydration followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile group of the allo epimer (O-acetyl derivative) gives the 3-C-carboxy-1,2-O-isopropyloidene compound. This product forms the corresponding γ or δ-lactone with hydroxyl ( 5 ) or ( 6 ). On the other hand, after hydrolysis of 5,6-isopropylidene, the 3-O-acetyl derivative of the gluco epimer gives an acetyl migration from position 3 to position 5 and finally to position 6. By reaction of the allo epimer with NH₃ and CN^?, an aminonitrile is formed. The allo configuration is deduced from the above mentioned reaction and from IR. and NMR. data. Several acetylated and trifluoracetylated derivatives of these products are described. The oxidation of the nitrile group to the amide group is possible with both epimeric cyanohydrines and the amino-nitrile.
