Methyl Homologues of Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Dihydrojasmonate (Hedione®) from Sorbyl Alcohol

Treatment of cycloalkanone dimethyl acetals 3 – 6 with sorbyl alcohol (=(2E,4E)‐hexa‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ol; 1 ) in the presence of acids afforded the novel cycloalkenones 8, 9, 11 , and 13 via a domino reaction (Claisen rearrangement with intramolecular ene reaction and retro‐ene reaction). Cyclopentenone 8 was readily transformed into 14 and 15 , methyl homologues of racemic methyl jasmonate ( 16 ) and methyl dihydrojasmonate (=Hedione®; 17 ), respectively. The organoleptic properties of 14 and 15 are also discussed.

Synthesis of Methyl (Methyl D-and L-Idopyranosid)Uronates from myo-Inositol

Abstract

Methyl (methyl α-D-(9a), α-(9b), β-D-(10a), and β-L-(10b) idopyranosid)uronates were synthesized from myo-inositol. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the optically resolved inosose derivatives (3a and 3b) proceeded regioselectively to afford 4a and 4b in high yields, respectively. Ring-opening of the 7-membered hemiacetal-lactones (4a and 4b) with acid and subsequent deprotection gave the title compounds.

Copolymerization and Copolymers of 2,4,5-Tribromostyrene with Methyl Acrylate and Methyl Methacrylate

Abstract

2,4,5-Tribromostyrene (TBSt) was copolymerized with methyl acrylate (MA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA) in a toluene solution using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as free radical initiator. The copolymerization reactivity ratios were found to be for the system TBSt / MA r₁= 7.4 ± 1.2 (TBSt) and r₂= 0.1 ± 1.4 (MA) and for the system TBSt / MMA r₁ = 1.8 ± 0.2 (TBSt) and r₂ = 0.1 ± 0.2 (MMA). The e and Q values were also calculated. The initial rate of copolymerization, as well as molecular weight of the obtained copolymers for both system linearly increase as the content of TBSt in the monomer mixture increases. Similar behavior has also been established for the course of the copolymerization reactions to high conversions. The resulting copolymers rapidly decompose at temperatures 20–800°C above the decomposition of corresponding (metha)crylate hompolymers. However, the glass transition temperature increases markedly with increasing TBS content.

Behavior of Methyl and Propyl Methyl Cellulose Solutions in Longitudinal and Convergent Flows

A mixed ether, propyl methyl cellulose with varied number of propyl groups, was synthesized from commercial water-soluble methyl cellulose. The effect of the number of side propyl groups on the dynamics of aqueous methyl and propyl methyl cellulose solutions in longitudinal and convergent flows was studied. The conditions under which solutions transform into the induced anisotropic state were determined.     

Nickel-Catalyzed Hydroesterification of Acetylene with Methyl Formate to Methyl Acrylate in Fixed Bed

The hydroesterification of acetylene with methyl formate catalyzed by nickel-supported catalysts without any corrosive halide promoter has been comprehensively studied in a fixed bed reactor under various conditions. This reaction can be particularly useful since methyl formate may act as a source of methanol-carbon monoxide, thus simplifying transport and handling^[1-3]. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation of γ-Al₂O₃ support with NiCl₂ aqueous solution, then dried at 120℃ and calcined at 500℃     

Synthesis of Methyl 1-Thio-L-Rhamnopyranoside-Derivatives

Abstract

Both anomers of methyl 1-thio-L-rhamnopyranosides were prepared through methylation of the corresponding isothiouronium salt. 2,3-0-Isopropylidene-, benzylidene-and the until now unknown diphenyl-methylene acetals were synthesized. Phase-transfer catalysed benzylation and LiA1H₄-AlCl₃-type hydrogenolysis of benzylidene acetals were used to obtain partially benzylated derivatives. Comparing the C NMR data of the synthesized compounds with those of their 0-glycoside analogues revealed that the 0→S exchanges at the anomeric centres caused drastic upfield shifts (～15 ppm) at C-1 and moderate downfield shifts at C-2 and C-5, as well. The chemical shift values of other carbons are not sensitive to the 0→S replacement.
