New synthesis of ( E )-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienylpropionate and ( E )-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-1,8-diol, pheromone components of San Jose scaleinsect Quadraspidiotus pernicious and african monarch butterfly Danaus chrysippus

6-Methyl-6-hepten-2-one (3) on reaction with ethyl α-dimethylphosphonate/NaH gives a mixture of (E)-and (Z)-conjugated esters. The major (E)-isomer, (E)-ethyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienoate (4), on reduction with LiAlH₄ at room temperature furnishes (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-l-ol (5) which on propionylation affords (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienyl propionate (1). Carbinol (5) is converted into its silyl ether (E)-2,6-dimethyl-8-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-l,6-octadiene (6) witht-Bu(Me)₂SiCl in CH₂Cl₂, which on hydroboronation-oxidation with 9-BBN/NaOH-H₂O₂ followed by disilylalion with (n-Bu)₄N⁺ F⁻ at room temperature, gives (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-l,8-diol (2).

Relative Stabilities of the Geometrical and Conformational Isomers of 2-Alkylideneoxacycloalkanes. A DFT Study

The relative stabilities of the geometrical and rotational isomers of 2-alkylideneoxacycloalkanes (-oxiranes, -oxetanes, -tetrahydrofurans, and -tetrahydropyrans; alkyl = Et, Pr, i-Bu, 2,2-dimethylpropyl) have been studied by DFT calculations. Independent of the size of the alkyl group, the E and Z isomers of alkylideneoxiranes have almost comparable stabilities (the Z form, however, being slightly favored), but, with increasing size of the heterocyclic ring, the relative stability of the E isomer decreases. This is particularly prominent for the tetrahydropyran derivatives with alkyl = 2,2-dimethylpropyl, in which marked repulsive interactions between the t-Bu group and the 3-CH₂ group of the tetrahydropyran ring make the E form, ca. 13 kJ mol^–1 less stable than the Z isomer. On the other hand, for alkyl = Et, Pr, and i-Bu, the relative stabilities of the geometrical isomers are almost independent of the alkyl group. Besides the relative stabilities of the geometrical isomers, energetics of the rotational isomerism of the alkyl group about the C(sp ³)—C(sp ²) bond is also surveyed.

Abstract

The reaction of an ethanolic suspension of [NH₄]₂[IrCl₆] and P-t-Bu₂Me, in the presence of HCl for 15h gives [HP-t-Bu₂Me][Ir₂Cl₇(P-t-Bu₂Me)₂], 1, in 13.5% yield. The dinuclear complex 1 was characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray analysis. However, when the above reaction is continued for 48 h one obtains only [Ir(H)(Cl)₂(P-t-Bu₂Me)₂], 2, in good yield. It is proposed that complex 1 is a reaction intermediate to 2. Crystallographic data for 1 (at 298 K): a = 16.151(3) Å, b = 11.885(2)Å, c = 21.665(4) Å, β = 90.26(2)°, space group P2_1/c (Z=4).

Abstract

The nature of [(PhMe₂CCH₂)₂GaCl]₂ and its adducts with NH₂(t-Bu) and NH₂(n-Pr) have been investigated. [(PhMe₂CCH₂)₂GaCl]₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a=11.2495(16)Å, b = 21.4977(32)A, c = 7.8337(15)Å, β = 93.489(14)°, V= 1891.0(5)ų and D(calcd.)= 1.305 Mg/m³ for Z = 2. The structure was refined to R(F) = 4.2% for 1672 reflections above 6[sgrave](F). The molecule has perfect C_i symmetry, a planar Ga(μ-Cl)₂Ga core and an expanded C(α)-Ga-C(α) angle of 137.9(3)° between the neophyl ligands. (PhMe₂CCH₂)₂-GaCl[NH₂(t-Bu)] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 6.4023(10) A, b= 17.4274(25) A, c = 22.2389(38) Å, β = 94.939(13)°, V= 2472.2(7)ų and D(calcd.) = 1.225 Mg/m³ for Z = 4. This structure was refined to R(F) = 3.9% for 1700 reflections above 6[sgrave](F). The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular Cl … H-N hydrogen bonds and the central Ga(III) atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. A benzene solution of (PhMe₂-CCH₂)₂GaCl[NH₂(t-Bu)] is in equilibrium with [(PhMe₂CCH₂)₂GaCl]₂[NH₂(t-Bu)] and free amine according to ¹HNMR studies. In contrast to this, a solution of (PhMe₂CCH₂)-GaCl₂[NH₂(t-Bu)] is in equilibrium with [(PhMe₂CCH₂)GaCl₂]₂[NH₂(t-Bu)], free [(PhMe₂-CCH₂)-GaCl₂]₂ and free amine. Solutions of (PhMe₂CCH₂)₂GaCI[NH₂(n-Pr)] and (PhMe₂CCH₂)GaCl₂[NH₂(n-Pr)] show no evidence for similar equilibria.     

Organic Reactions upon Dimetalated Olefins. Reactions of the Olefinic Group in the Dirhenlum Complex (OC)4Re[E-HC?C(CO2Me)CS2]Re(CO)4 with Amines

The reaction of (OC)₄Re[μ-E-HC? C(CO₂Me)CS₂]Re(CO)₄, 1 with EtNH₂ yielded two new complexes: Re(CO)₄[C(H)? C(CO₂Me)C(NHEt)? S], 2 , (52%) and Re(CO)₃(NH₂Et)[C(H)? C(CO₂Me)C(NHEt)=S], 3a (24%) by competitive attack of the EtNH₂ at the dithiocarboxylate grouping and at the hydrogen substituted olefinic carbon atom in 1 . In both cases there is a loss of one of the rhenium groupings. The reaction of the sulfurized and oxygenated derivatives of 1, (OC)₄Re[EC(H)C(CO₂Me)CS₂]Re(CO)₄, 4a (E=S), 4b (E=O) with EtNH₂ yielded Re(CO)₄[C(H)=C(CO₂Me)C(NHEt)=S], 5a , the parent carbonyl of 3a , by exclusive attack of the amine at the hydrogen substituted olefinic carbon atom. The reaction of (OC)₄Re[μ-SC(S)C(CO₂Me)C(H)S]Re(CO)₄, 6a (an isomer of 4a ) with EtNH₂ produced a similar result. The reaction of 4a with Et₂NH yielded Re(CO)₄[μ-S₂C=C(CO₂Me)C=NEt₂], 5b an N-ethyl substituted derivative of 5a . These results indicate that the addition of certain heteroatoms can have a directing effect upon the reactivity of these compounds with amines. Compounds 2 and 5a were characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction analyses.

Crystallographic data for 1: monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 7.3494(15), b = 15.223(3), c = 15.054(3)?Å, β = 102.42(3)°, V = 1644.8(6)?ų, Z = 2.

In both complexes, the [M(mnt)₂]^2? anion has a centre of symmetry at the metal atom and two cations are related to each other by the symmetry centre. The [M(mnt)₂]^2? anion exhibits a quasi-planar structure in both complexes, which show similar crystal packing.     

The Detection of tert-Butylthiosulfoxylic Acid,t-BuSSOH,and 1-Oxatrisulfane,HSSOH, in the Gas Phase – Experimental Results and Ab Initio Calculations

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of tert-butylthiosulfinic acid S-tert-butylester, t-BuS(O)St-Bu, at a temperature of 500 °C and a pressure of 0.07 hPa leads to the formation of tert-butylthiosulfoxylic acid, t-BuSSOH ( 1 ), and 2-methylpropene as byproduct. 1 has been identified in the gas phase by its IR absorption bands at ν(OH) = 3598 cm^–1, δ(SOH) = 1149 cm^–1 and ν(SO) = 718 cm^–1. At higher temperatures (700 °C) the elimination of a second mole of 2-methylpropene and the shift of ν(SO) to higher wavenumbers (750 cm^–1) indicate the formation of 1-oxatrisulfane, HSSOH. Different sulfenic acids RSOH (R = Me, i-Pr, t-Bu) were synthesized by FVP in order to study the influence of the substituent R on the vibrational wavenumbers ν(OH), ν(SO) and δ(SOH) observed in the gas phase. The strongest effect results for δ(SOH) leading to a decrease by 6 wavenumbers if the methyl group is substituted by a tert-butyl group. The assignment of the experimental wavenumbers has been supported by theoretical values obtained from ab initio calculations at the MP2(fc)/6-311G** level. Furthermore, the theoretical studies show that of all compounds RS₂OR′ (R = R′ = H, Me; R = Me (H), R′ = H (Me)) the unbranched chain isomers RSSOR′ are energetically favored over the branched chain isomers. Relaxed potential energy surface scans at the MP2(fc)/6-311G** level have been carried out to study the rotational isomers of the branched molecules RS(Y)XR′ (R = R′ = H, Me; R = Me (H), R′ = H (Me); X = O (S), Y = S (O)). Of the three conformations (+)syn-clinal, (–)syn-clinal, and anti-periplanar resulting from molecular model considerations only the two latter ones correspond to local minima on the calculated potential curve. The (–)syn-clinal conformation is slightly favored for all other constitutional isomers except for HS(O)SH and MeS(O)SH, which prefer the anti-periplanar conformation.

Trimethylsilyl- und Trimethylstannylester der Trithiophosphonsäuren; Darstellung,Protolyse und weitere Reaktionen

Trimethylsilyl and Trimethylstannyl Esters of the Trithiophosphonic Acids; Preparation, Protolysis, and Further Reactions The organotrithiophosphonic acid bis(trimethylsilyl) esters RP(S)(SSiMe₃)₂, R = Ph ( 1a ), R = t-Bu ( 1b ) and R = Me ( 1c ) are formed in high yield from the organo-bis(trimethylsilyl)-phosphanes RP(SiMe₃)₂ by the addition of three sulfur atoms (3/8 S₈) in toluene solution. 1b has also been prepared by reacting disodium tert-butyltrithiophosphonate, Na₂t-BuP(S)S₂ ( 2 ) with SiMe₃Cl. Analogous reactions can be used for the preparation of the stannyl esters RP(S)(SSnMe₃)₂, R = t-Bu ( 5a ) and R = Me ( 5b ). More favorable, however, these compounds are synthesized from the corresponding silyl esters 1b, c and SnMe₃Cl or, as has been shown in the case of 5a , by reacting dithiophosphonic acid anhydrides (RP(S)S)₂ with (SnMe₃)₂S. Low temperature solvolysis of the silyl esters 1b, c with water or methanol results in the free organotrithiophosphonic acids RP(S)(SH)₂, R = t-Bu ( 6a ) and R = Me ( 6b ), which can be isolated as white solids at —30°C. Contrary to the sodium salt 2 and the stannyl esters 5a, b , the acids 6a, b , and, to a smaller extent, the silyl esters 1a—c are thermally not stable towards decomposition into the thioanhydrides (RP(S)S)₂. The silyl and stannyl esters 1a—c and 5a, b , respectively, are capable of cleaving the ether linkage of tetrahydrofuran, which in the case of 1b leads to the quantitative formation of t-BuP(S)[S(CH₂)₄OSiMe₃]₂ ( 9 ). 1b, c and 5a, b react with Cl₂ and Br₂ forming the 3,6-diorgano-3,6-dithio-1,2,4,5,3,6-tetrathiadiphosphorinanes (RP(S)S₂)₂, R = t-Bu ( 7a ) and R = Me ( 7b ).
