Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 38. Mitt.: Ozonolyse von 2-Acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorborn-5-en und Synthese eines neuen,tricyclischen Ketals mit patchouliartigem Geruch

Summary The ozonolysis ofendo-2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene (endo-1) and itsexo-epimer (exo-1) is described. The reaction products, after reductive work up as well as after oxidative work up, are characterized. The first procedure furnished the corresponding cyclopentane derivatives in good yield, namely 1,1-dimethyl-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3,5-bis-hydroxymethyl cyclopentane (2) as a cristalline compound fromendo-1, the epimeric10 as an oil fromexo-1. The oxidative work up furnished in both cases via keto-enol-tautomerism the same acid, 4-acetyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid, characterized as its methyl ester. Selective oxidation of the secondary hydroxyl group in2 lead to the novel, tricyclic, even acid stable ketal17, with very interesting olfactory properties.

Bishomocamphenilon,Bishomocamphen und Bishomocamphenilansäure: Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 32. Mitt.

Summary Syntheses of the title compounds are described and their olfactive properties discussed. Bishomocamphenilone (2) has been prepared by a Diels-Alder reaction of acrylonitril and cycloheptadiene-1,3 via the bicyclonitril5 which upon geminal chlorination and alkaline oxidation furnished the bishomonorbornanone9 which then could be transformed into2 by twofold methylation.14 has been prepared by action ofMeLi upon2 and bishomocamphene by dehydration of14. Hydroboration of this olefine3 yielded the alcohol15, which could be oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde13 and bishomocamphenilanic acid (4). The configurations of all new compounds has been ascertained.

Zur Synthese von fungizid wirksamen Isocamphanderivaten: Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 34. Mitt.

Summary Some esters of isocamphenilanic acid (4) have been prepared and tested for their fungicidal and insecticidal activity. Esters of various acids with isocamphanyl ethylalcohol (5) have also been synthesized and included in the fungicidal/acaricidal/insecticidal screening programme. All esters bear a geminal dimethyl group at C-3 of the bicyclus which is important because of its shielding effect.

     

δ-Santalolanaloga II Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 28. Mitt.

The synthesis of 3-(3,3-dimethyl-2-exo-norbornyl)-2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol (3) and of 8-hydroxymethyl-8-methylcamphene (4) is described.3 and4 are analogues of -Santalol (1) with the allylic hydroxyl group in a position of two or three carbon atoms closer to the bicyclic nucleus compared to1. 4 is also an analogue to Patchenol® which is used sometimes to blend the patchouli oil. The odour impression of these compounds, of the pureendo-epimer of3, and of theendo-exo-mixture of3 are described and compared with the odour of1 and a further analogue whose synthesis has already been reported in a preceding paper [1].

Auszugsweise vorgetragen auf der gemeinsamen wissenschaftlichen Tagung der ÖPhG und DPhG am 11. September 1986 in Innsbruck. Die Synthese von4 wurde bereits am 15. März 1983 anläßlich des 9th International Congress of Essential Oils in Singapore vorgestellt.     

Biologisch aktive 3,3-Dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane: Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 35. Mitt.

Summary The bicyclo[2.2.1]- and [2.2.2]-systems are part of numerous biological active substances. Continuing our syntheses in the isocamphane series the homologous isocamphanes of mecamylamine (1 a) and of the fungicidal bicyclic compound2 were synthesized. Furthermore the syntheses ofE-homoisosantalene (15) andE,E-homoisosantalol (16) are described.

     

Synthese und Geruch von (E)- und (Z)-bis-homo-ß-Santalol

Summary The synthesis of the title compounds is described. Guided by theoretical considerations and molecular modeling studies, the influence of the bulky group opposite to the osmophorically important primary hydroxyl function on the odour impression is determined. The organoleptic evaluation proved the predicted sandal like odour of the (Z)-isomer and its also predicted absence with (E)-isomer. A moderate increase of the volume of the bulky group shows no influence on the sandalwood odour of the new analogue.

     

Dicyanmethylenpyrazolinone und deren Bedeutung als Chromophor. Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 80. Mitt.

1-Phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones1 a–e react with tetracyanoethylene forming the corresponding dicyanomethylenepyrazolin-5-ones2 a–e. The products are deeply coloured with absorption bands between 550 and 650 nm, but low -values and negative solvatochromic effect. By amine-HCN exchange reaction with anilines the red-coloured phenylamino-cyanomethylene-pyrazolinones3–6 are obtained.¹⁵N- and¹³C-NMR-data of2 and quantum-chemical calculations (INDO/S-CI) reveal the extreme polarization and chromophoric properties of the described dicyanomethylene-pyrazolinones.

     

Synthese und Geruch von Tricyclo[6.2.2.02, 7]dodecan-Derivaten

Summary The acetale-ketone9 was synthesized as precursor for the preparation of -santalol derivatives posessing a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane nucleus. After methylenation of the keto-group the subsequent acidic hydrolysis of the acetal leads via a Prins reaction of the liberated aldehyde with the methylene group to tricyclo[6.2.2.0^{2, 7}]dodecane derivatives. Their olfactory properties are described.

     

δ-Santalolanaloga I Synthesen in der Isocamphanreihe, 27. Mitt.

The synthesis of 4-(3,3-dimethyl-2-exo-norbornyl)-2-methyl-2-buten-1-ol (5), an analogue of -santalol (1) has been described. One route to5 starts with isocamphenilanyl propionic acid (8) which can be prepared in 4 steps from isocamphenilanic acid (9). Also 4 steps lead from8 to the target molecule5 with an overall yield of 24%. By a second and more convergent route, starting from the very easily obtainable bicyclic ketone19, the allylic alcohol5 could be obtained again in 4 steps, but this time with an overall yield of 1.3%. A new and easy synthesis of isocamphenilanyl acetic acid (15), a potential starting material to5, has been described, also the preparation of some new isocamphane derivatives.

Reaktionen mit cyclischen Oxalylverbindungen, 26. Mitt. Cyclokondensation von 4,5-substituierten Thiophen- bzw. N-Alkylpyrrol-2,3-dionen mito-Phenylendiamin

4-Benzoyl-5-phenylthiophene-2,3-dione (1) reacts witho-phenylendiamine to give the quinoxaline derivative2 which cyclizes either to the furo[2,3-b]quinoxaline4 or to the thieno[2,3-b]quinoxaline5 depending on the reaction conditions. On the other hand, the pyrrol-2,3-diones6 ando-phenylendiamine combine yielding the pyrrolidino[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine derivatives7. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by IR and¹³C NMR spectroscopic measurements based on X-ray structure determinations of4/5 (mixed crystal) as well as7 b.4/5 crystallize triclinically in the space group P1 (Nr. 2) with two molecules per cell, while7 b crystallizes monoclinically in space group P2₁/a (Nr. 14) with four molecules7 b and four moleculesDMSO per cell. The reaction pathways leading to the compounds2,4,5, and7 are briefly discussed.

Aromatische Spirane, 22. Mitt.: Darstellung von Cyclopenteno-4,5-indan-1-on und 2-Carboxymethyl-bzw. 4-Chlormethyl-indan als Synthone für Synthesen von anellierten 2,2′-Spirobiindanonen

Summary The title compounds were prepared as follows:tert.-butyl-indane (10) was formylated to give a 72:28 mixture of the aldehydes23a and23b which were submitted to aKnoevenagel-Doebner condensation to afford the cinnamonic acids24. From the mixture, the pure stereoisomer24a was obtained by one crystallization in 57% yield. Its methylester27a could be quantitatively dealkylated to the methylester8 by treatment with AlCl₃ in toluene. Cyclization to the indanone9 was then performedvia the propionic acid7 with polyphosphoric acid in 95% yield. From9 the carboxymethyl derivative30 was obtained by treatment with dimethylcarbonate and NaH. The second synthone 4-chlormethyl-indane (19) was prepared from the corresponding alcohol18 (in 82% yield) which in turn could be obtained from methylester17 by reduction with LiAlH₄. The latter was accessible in 75% yield by dealkylation of ester13.

Studien zur Chemie von thienoanellierten O,N- und S,N-haltigen Heterocyclen, 10. Mitt.: Synthese von 2- substituierten Thieno-Diltiazemderivaten

Summary The syntheses of 2-acetyl-, 2-benzyl-, and 2-ethyl-thieno-diltiazem derivatives are described starting from the corresponding 5-substituted 3-nitro-2-thiophenthiolvia reaction with racemic methyltrans-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-glycidate under different conditions (solvent, catalyst, temperature) to obtain purethreo orerythro products. The nitro groups of these products were reduced and the resulting amino esters cyclized. The thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazepin-5(4H)-ones were N-alkylated and acetylated in position 3. The desired 2-substituted 4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxothieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazepin-6-yl acetates were isolated in good yields.

     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 31. Mitt.: Die Spin-Gitter-Relaxation in den1H-NMR-Spektren von Bilatrienen-abc

The¹H-NMR spin lattice relaxation times of aetiobiliverdin-IV- and biliverdindimethylester were determined using the inversion recovery technique. The relaxation times of protons attached to the terminal rings A and D are longer than those situated at the rings B and C which points to a higher mobility of rings A and D. Moreover these measurements allowed an independent assignment of the¹H-NMR-signals of the methyl groups of biliverdindimethylester.

Hydrophile Polymergele mit reaktiven Gruppen, 2. Mitt.: Chelatharze auf Basis von Glucose- und Saccharosemethacrylaten

A widely applicable method for the preparation of chelating resins based on glucose- and sucrosemethacrylate-gels is described. Primary aromatic amino groups were bonded to the carrier by esterification with 4-nitrobenzoylchloride and subsequent reduction of the nitro groups with sodium dithionite. Diazotation and coupling with various chelating ligands (8-hydroxyquinoline, dithizone, anthranilic acid, salicylic acid and pyrogallol) afforded chelating resins with capacities of max. 1.7 mmol/g. Sucrosemethacrylate-gels were etherified with 4-nitrobenzylchloride, epichlorohydrin, 4-nitrophenyl glycide ether (IIb), acrylonitrile and 4-nitrophenylacrylamide (IVb). Reaction of the gels with IIb or IVb and subsequent reduction of the nitro groups yielded reactive carriers with ether-linked primary aromatic amino groups. Diazotation and coupling with 8-hydroxyquinoline yielded chelating resins. The capacities of the gels were 0.6–0.7 mmol/g and these resins were extremely stable to changes inpH.

MO-Berechnungen an Heterocyclen, 24. Mitt.: Eine Interpretation der UPS der 2,2′-und 4,4′-Bipyridyle und deren N-Monoxide

The He I photoelectron spectra (UPS) of the 2,2- and 4,4-bipyridyls and their mono-N-oxides habe been reported and interpreted on the basis of modified CNDO-type calculations. The calculations show that the sequence of the eigenvalues _i is nearly independent from the dihedral angle around the central bond and that the different pattern of the _i must be related to the different positions of the N-atoms. For the N-oxides an assignment is given up to 12eV using the calculated results. Furthermore, the conformations of these compounds has been discussed.

Zur Struktur der Produkte der Reaktion vonE/Z-1-Benzolsulfonyl-3-(1-pentenyl)-indol mit N-Phenylmaleinimid: Ein erster Beitrag zur Konfigurations- und Konformationsanalyse in der Vinylindol-Cycloadditionsreihe

The products2,3 of the reaction ofE/Z-1-benzenesulfonyl-3-(1-pentenyl)-indole (1) and N-phenylmaleimide were analysed by¹H-NMR spectroscopy. Exemplarily, the structure elucidation of theendo-cyclo-adduct2 b was achieved by using several NMR techniques (diff. NOE-, INDOR-measurements, decoupling experiments, spectra simulation). The¹H-NMR-spectroscopically gained prediction of relative configuration and conformation of2 b was supported on X-ray analysis. The cyclohexene ring of the new cycloadducts adopts in the liquid phase and in the crystal a slightly twisted boat conformation.
