Analyse Conformationnelle de Pseudoprotoberbérines Naturelles. II. Etude Structurale par RMN de 13C des Tétrahydropseudoprotoberbérines provenant de I'Isopyrum thalictroïdes

The four pseudoprotoberberins extracted from Isopyrum thalictroides L. were reduced with sodium borohydride to the corresponding tetrahydropseudoprotoberberins. Comparison between the ¹³C NMR spectra of these and of synthetic protoberberins allowed us to assign a trans-1 configuration to the four reduced alkaloids and also to provide for this particular configuration an unequivocal criterion for the differentiation (based on the chemical shift of C-8) between tetrahydroprotoberberins (9, 10 substituted) and tetrahydropseudoprotoberberins (10, 11 substituted).     

Studies on SRN1 reactions-9 : A new access to the isoquinoline ring system

The S_RN1 reaction between o-halogeno-benzylamines and enolates derived from a series of ketones and aldehydes affords 1, 2 dihydro-isoquinolines from which are obtained (i)the isoquinoline derivatives, either spontaneously or by treatment on Pd-C and (ii) the 1,2,3,4 tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivatives after sodium borohydride reduction.     

Réduction alkylante de quelques composés hétéroaromatiques polyazotés

The reduction-aldylation of quinoxaline, phthalazine and pyrido[2,3-b] pyrazine by potassium borohydride in a carboxylic acid medium is described. Formic, acetic, chloroacetic and propinic acids were used. The diazine ring of the molecule was reduced and alkylated into an N,N¹-dialkyltetrahydro compound. With quinoxaline and formic acid, N-formylation may be an important factor. Sodium borodeuteride allows one to prepare an hexadeuterated compound.     

Synthèse de composés comportant deux hétérocycles oxygénés accoles au noyau benzénique, éthers du résorcinol

We wish to report the preparation of new bisheterocyclic compounds derived from resoreinol. We tried to sue methods during this investigation which would be selective and afford only tricyclic linear compounds. The starting material was resorcinol or the monomethylether of resorcinol. By reaction with chloroacetonitrile, acrylonitrile or ethyl chlorobutanoate, we obtained the intermediate compounds which were then cyclized by reaction with sodium acetate or polyphosphoric acid; either a catalytic reduction or treatment with zinc in presence of hydrochloric acid furnished the heterocyclic base. Another condensation followed by a cyclization and a reduction gave the desired compounds.     

Borohydride reduction of Ag<Superscript>+</Superscript> in aqueous poly(acrylic acid-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-acrylamide) solutions

Silver clusters stabilized with poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) are chemically synthesized via reduction of silver cations with sodium borohydride. Metallopolymer systems obtained at different concentrations of sodium borohydride in reaction mixtures are studied spectrophotometrically, and the effect of reductant content on the composition of the products is investigated.     

Reactions of 4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazinium perchlorates with sodium borohydride

Reduction of 4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazinium perchlorates with sodium borohydride depending on the structure of starting salt and the reaction conditions leads to different products. 2-Alkyl- and 2-phenylsubstituted salts react with sodium borohydride to give 2,3-dihydro-4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazines. 2-Arylvinyl- and 2-heterylvinyl-substituted perchlorates either form 4-oxo-1,3-benzoxazines or undergo hydrogenation to arylor heterylethyldihydrobenzoxazinones.     

New diazadi(and tri)thia‐21‐crown‐7 ethers containing 8‐hydroxyquinoline side arms

A series of macrocyclic diazadi(and tri)thiacrown ethers containing two 5‐substituent‐8‐hydroxyquinoline side arms have been synthesized from the corresponding macrocyclic diazadi(and tri)thiacrown ethers. The crown ethers were obtained by reduction of the proper macrocyclic di(and tri)thiadiamides by borane‐tetrahydrofuran or by sodium borohydride‐boron trifluoride ethyl etherate‐tetrahydrofuran. The yields for the reduction of diamides by sodium borohydride‐boron trifluoride ethyl etherate‐tetrahydrofuran were higher than those by borane‐tetrahydrofuran. The following four methods were used to prepare macrocycles bearing two 8‐hydroxyquinoline side arms: (1) Mannich reaction with 8‐hydroxyquinoline; (2) Reductive animation with 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐2‐carboxaldehyde using sodium triacetoxyborohydride as the reducing agent; (3) Cyclization of N,N'‐bis(8‐hydroxyquinolin‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1,2‐bis(2‐aminoethoxy)ethane (38) with bis(α‐chloroamide) 5 ; and ( 4 ) A step‐by‐step process wherein macrocyclic trithiadiamide 11 was reduced by lithium aluminum hydride‐tetrahydrofuran to the cyclic monoamide 36 , which smoothly reacted with 5‐chloro‐8‐hydroxyquinoline to produce monosubstituted‐macrocyclic monoamide 39 .     

Synthèse et réactivité de dihydrotriazines et de dihydrotriazolotriazines

Generally, 4,5-dihydro-3triazinones have been prepared by a basic hydrolysis of 3-methylmercapto-4,5-dihydrotriazines. Of the serveral methylation methods, namely, diazomethane, methyliodide, dimethyl sulfate all in the presence of sodium methylate or silver carbonate, only methyl bromide in the presence of phase transfer catalyst was sucessful in producing all of the N-2 and/or N-4 methylate compounds. Two unequivocal syntheses of dihydrotriazolo[4,3-b]triazine are reported.     

The reductive ring opening of some derivatives of isatin

Treatment of two isatin-3-imines, 3-isopropyIamino-1-methylindoline-2-one and 3-cyclohexylamino-1-methylindolin-2-one with sodium borohydride produced the fully-reduced anilines 2-isopropylamino-2-(2-methylaminophenyl) ethanol and 2-cyclohexylamino-2-(2-methylaminophenyl) ethanol, respectively. Reductive ring-opening of derivatives of isatin is not observed in related examples when either catalytic or lithium aluminum hydride reduction are employed and it is concluded that the present effect is dependant upon the softness of sodium borohydride as a reducing agent.     

Photochromisme des spiropyrannes. Photodégradation d'aza-, oxaza- et thiaza-cyclopentane- et -cyclohexanespiropyrannes

Photochromism of spiropyrans. Photodegradation of aza-, oxaza-, and thiaza-cyclopentane- and -cyclohexanespiropyrans Study of the photodegradation of saturated azaheterocyclic spiropyrans showed that electron-donor substituents improve, as in the benzoheterocyclic series, the fatigue properties towards. UV. light. The introduction of oxygen or sulfur in the 5- or 6-membered saturated azacycles or the substitution with an orthofused aromatic nucleus have practically no influence on the results of photodegradation. The indolinospiropyrans allow the greatest number of photochromic cycles before falling to half the initial absorbance on photolysis under accurate conditions.     

Synthesis and reactions of 1-hydroxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-(3H)-ones

1-Hydroxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-ones, as a new type of azaheterocyclic hydroxamic acids, have been synthesized regioselectively from 1-carbamoylmethyl- or 1-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts by reaction with hydroxylamine in the presence of a strong base. The alkylation and reduction with sodium borohydride of these novel heterocycles have been investigated. When treated with protic acids 1-hydroxy- or 1-alkoxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-ones underwent ring opening of the imidazolidine to afford 1-[2-(hydroxyamino)-2-oxoethyl]-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts. The structural assignments are based on extensive ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic studies and single crystal X-ray analyses.     

Diénamines hétérocycliques. III. Réexamen de la réaction de la base de Fischer avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Heterocyclic dienamines III. A re-examination of the reaction of Fischer's base on tetracyanoethylene Depending on the order of addition, Fischer's base 5 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-indoline) reacts 1:1 with tetracyanoethylene to give either the tricyanovinylation product 6 or the spiro compound 7 . A skeletal rearrangement of a zwitterionic intermediate can explain the formation of the spiro compound. The latter undergoes a thermal isomerization yielding by ring expansion the tetrahydroquinoléine 8 . On reaction with LiAlH₄ or CH₃ONa 7 and 8 lead both to triazatetracycles. All structures are assigned on the basis of spectral data.     

Nouvelle méthode de détermination des taux de réativité des copolymères par résonance magnétique nucléaire: Application aux poly(méthacrylate de méthyle–chlorure de vinylidène)

Constant-composition copolymers of methyl methacrylate and vinylidene chloride produced by radical copolymerization are studied by ¹H-NMR at 60 and 250 MHz. The different methods of the literature for the derivation of reactivity ratios from either the copolymer composition or the sequence average lengths, or even the diad distribution, are applied but lead to rather dispersed results. A new graphical method is proposed, based on the use of peculiar values of the triad distribution functions. It allows us to detect a penultimate effect for the vinylidene chloride-rich region. In the same range, a change in tacticity of the diads and triads on the methylmethacrylate sequences, as compared with homopolymers, is observed; it suggests that the anomaly is caused by the competition of the depropagation reaction.     

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.     

Effets de substituant,d'hétéroatome et de solvant sur les cinétiques de décoloration thermique et les spectres d'absorption de photomérocyanines en série spiro[indoline-oxazine]

Substituent, Heteroatom, and Solvent Effects on the Thermal-Bleaching Kinetics and Absorption Spectra of Photomerocyanines Issued from Spiro[indoline-oxazines] Quantitative information useful for the development of new photochromic systems is obtained from the study of heteroatom and substituent effects on the thermal-bleaching kinetics and the absorption spectra of the photomerocyanines issued from spiro[indoline-oxazines]. The effect on photochromic properties of the presence of N-atoms either in the dimethine bridge or in the aromatic rings has been investigated through the comparison of spiro[indoline-naphthopyrans] C with spiro[indoline-naphthoxazines] A and with spiro[indoline-quinolinoxazines] B . Besides the occurrence of biexponential thermal-bleaching kinetics in non-polar solvents is observed: a tentative explanation for this observation is given which involves the formation, in either sequential or parallel steps, of energetically distinct stereoisomers of the opened form.     

Addition de dérivés maloniques sur des β-énaminones cycliques

The addition of activated acctonitriles 6 on cyclic and benzylic β-enaminoketones 5 under basic conditions (sodium ethoxide or trition B) have been investigated. This reaction leads exclusively to the formation of α-pyrones 8 and never to the pyridine ring. The strucutre of the newly synthesized α-pyrone derivatives 8 are supported by nmr and ir spectral data.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres,X. Synthèse stéréospécifique de l'épimère en C3 du streptose et d'autres sucres ramifiés,dérivés de désoxy-5-pentoses, à groupements gem-hydroxy-formyle ou gem-hydroxy-hydroxyméthyle

The synthesis of branched-chain sugars of the gem-hydroxy-formyl and the gem-hydroxy-hydroxymethyl types is described. A 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-furanos-3-ulose is treated with cyanomethylene-triphenyl-phosphorane, yielding the two geometrical isomers of the corresponding branched-chain unsaturated sugar. Cis-dihydroxylation(KMnO₄) of these cyanomethylenic compounds affords stereoselectively and in high yield the gem-hydroxy-formyl branched chain sugars whose formyl group is on the more hindered face of the furanose ring. The hydroxymethyl analogues of the latter compounds are readily prepared by their borohydride reduction. This method constitutes a new general route to type A branched-chain sugars epimeric at the branching-point with the sugars which would have been obtained by the classical procedure involving Grignard reagents.     

Etude de l'acylation de l'acétyl-3 acétoxy-8 indolizine par action de chlorures d'acide en présence de chlorure d'aluminium

Study of acylation of 3-acetyl-8-acetoxyindolizine by miscellaneous acid chlorides in the presence of aluminium chloride shows that this reaction is either limited to a transesterification (in the case of benzoyl chloride) or leads to introduction of an acyl group in position 1 with simultaneous liberation of the phenol function in position 8. When acylation takes place, acetyl chloride resulting from the cleavage of the acetoxy group competes with the acid chloride used in the reaction. Predominant acylation by the latter is observed when the reaction is performed with ethoxalyl chloride or with non branched aliphatic acid chlorides; by contrast solely acetylation takes place when pivaloyl or phenylacetyl chloride is used. These results are tentatively explained by a process related to the Fries rearrangement. The hypothesis of intramolecular transfer of an acyl group from the ester function in position 8 can be discarded by the observed results.     

Rapid Aqueous Borohydride Reduction of Carbonyls Under Sealed-Tube Microwave Conditions

Ketones and aldehydes are conveniently and rapidly reduced to the corresponding alcohols in good yields using sodium borohydride under sealed-tube microwave conditions in either 95% ethanol or water. In purely aqueous systems, highly aliphatic substrates are sluggish, but this can be overcome by introducing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at the critical micelle concentration. With a 2:1 substrate/borohydride ratio and a reaction temperature of 100 °C, reduction is typically complete within 1 min in 95% ethanol and 5 min in water/SDS. The methodology is well suited for parallel and combinatorial synthetic approaches.     

The determination of tellurium by nondispersive atomic fluorescence spectrometry using the hydride generation technique

Atomic fluorescence spectrometry with a nondispersive measuring system is combined with a hydride generation technique for the determination of tellurium. Atomic fluorescence measurement is based on the reduction of tellurium by either metallic zinc or sodium borohydride, introduction of the generated tellurium hydride into a premixed argon (entrained air)-hydrogen flame, and excitation with a tellurium electrodeless discharge lamp. The comparison of the zinc and the sodium borohydride reduction methods is discussed in terms of detection limit, precision and interference. The best attainable detection limits for tellurium are 2ng (0.1 $\text{ng}\text{ml}$) and 30 ng (1.5 $\text{ng}\text{ml}$) with the zinc and the sodium borohydride methods respectively. Analytical working curves obtained from peak-height and peak-area measurements are linear over a range of approximately 4 orders of magnitude. Of the mineral acids examined in the range up to 2.0 m. nitric acid gives a depressing interference in the range greater than 0.5 m in the zinc method, whereas all of the acids greater than 1.0 m give a slight enhancement of the signal in the sodium borohydride method. The presence of several elements including other hydride-forming elements in 1000-fold ratio to tellurium causes a depressing interference, while enhancing interferences from tungsten and vanadium are observed in the zinc and the sodium borohydride methods, respectively. The present system coupled with the zinc method has been applied to the determination of tellurium in several samples of high-purity copper metal after separation of the analyte from copper by passing an ammoniacal solution of the sample through Chelex-100 resin. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.
