Action du monoxyde d'azote sur le trichloréthylène et sur le tétrachloréthylène

The Action of Nitrogen Monoxide on Trichloro-and Tetrachlor-Ethylene . Under the sun light and at room temperature nitric oxide reacts with trichlorethylene and tetrachlorethylene giving monomer nitroso nitrated compounds. These compounds can also be obtained through reaction of dinitrogen trioxide with trichlorethylene and tetrachlorethylene. The nitrating and oxidizing properties of nitric oxide can be considered through these reactions: – Trichlorethylene leads to: pentachlorethane,1,1,1,2-tetrachlor-2-nitroethane, dichloracetic acid and 1,1,3,3-4-pentachloro-4-nitro-1-butene: CO₂ and CO are also observed. –Tetrachlorocthylene gives : hexachlorethane, tetrachloro-2pentaclorethyl-1,2-oxazetidine; carbon tetrachlorid and trichloracetylchlorid arc obtainetl in very little yiclcl. These results prove that oxidizing cleavage may occur. Kitric oxitl reacts giving nitrogen as main gazcous product, prouved by gas liquid chrornatography.     

Action du monoxyde d'azote sur le phényléthylène et sur quelques arylalcènes

Nitric oxide reacts with phenylethylene and arylalkenes under the action of sunlight and at room temperature giving dimeric nitronitroso compounds prouved by IR. spectroscopy (see Table 2) and the corresponding nitroolefins. The main gaseous product is nitrogen as prouved by gaz liquid chromatography (see Table 1). The dimeric nitronitroso compounds can also be obtained by the reaction of dinitrogen trioxide with olefins. The structure of the nitronitroso compounds was further discussed. They may be reduced to give monoamines corresponding to the nitrogroup and may be also converted into nitroolefins.     

Etude des systèmes binaires formées par le chlorure de cyanogène et par les tétrachlorures de carbone,de silicium,de germanium et d'étain

Study of binary systems formed by cyanogen chloride and the tetrachlorides of carbon, silicon, germanium and tin. The diagrams of binary mixtures of cyanogene chloride with the tetrachlorides of carbon, silicon, germanium and tin were studied. Only SnCl₄ gives an addition compound: SnCl₄ · 2ClCN. The existence of the complex was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and vapour pressure measurements. This complex gives SnCl₄ · 2NOCl on treatment with nitrosyl chloride.     

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.     

Chlorination and oxidation of 4-fluoro-5-tetrafluoroethyl-1,2-dithiole-3-thione

Chlorination of 4-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-1,2-dithiole-3-thione with an equimolar amount of chlorine or sulfuryl chloride gives 3-chlorosulfanyl-4-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-1,2-dithiolium chloride. The reaction of the title compound with excess chlorinating agent leads to 3,3,4,5-tetrachloro-4-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-1,2-dithiolane. By oxidation and oxidative imination of 4-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, the corresponding S-oxide and sulfimide were obtained, respectively.

The addition of aryl azidosulfates to norbornadiene gives in high yields and selectively, the N-[aroxysulfonyl]-2-azabicyclol[3,2,1]-3,6-octadienes resulting from ring enlargement by insertion of nitrogen. The structure of the new ring-expanded products is established by hydrolysis, independent synthesis and spectral data (ir, nmr).     

La luminescence différée du styrène en solution vitreuse dans le méthylcyclohexane

The trapping of electrons and styrene cations and anions has been studied in a methylcyclohexane glass by the techniques of deferred luminescence. Radiothermoluminescence curves consist of two peaks, at 90 and 95°K, in this matrix. The second peak increases linearly with styrene concentration up to 2 × 10^?2M when it reaches a constant value, whereas the first peak increases from 10^?4 to 10^?3M and then decreases at higher concentrations and is not discernible at concentrations above 10^?2M. We propose two mechanisms which are qualitatively consistent with this behavior and are based essentially on the recombination of styrene cations with thermally detrapped electrons in the first peak and with anions in the second peak. Photothermoluminescence (i.e., thermoluminescence after photoionization with ultraviolet light) similarly consists of the 90 and 95°K peaks for a 10^?3M solution and of the 95° peak alone for a 10^?d M solution. Radiophotoluminescence excitation spectra at 77°K, corresponding to absorption spectra of trapped electrons and styrene anions, show that anions are the predominant negative species in 10^?2 molar solution, and trapped electrons in 10^?3 molar solution. Spectral analysis of radiothermoluminescenece shows the presence of two emission bands, one of which is identical with styrene fluorescence excited by the 254 Nm mercury line (λ_max = 292, 302, 307, and 317 Nm). The other band has three fairly poorly resolved maxima at 474, 486 and 496 nm and seems to correspond to the fluorescence of C₆H₅?H-CH₃ radicals formed during radiolysis.     

Oligomérisation anionique de l'ethylène. I. Etude cinétique

A kinetic study of ethylene oligomerization in hexane, in the presence of n-BuLi–TMEDA complexes, allowed us to suggest a new mechanism for anionic ethylene oligomerization. n-BuLi and n-Bu(CH₂CH₂)Li species have the same reactivity. The RLi–TMEDA complex in a 1-to-1 stoichiometry is the active species. The following kinetic equation has been established: It reflects the intervention of associated species (n-BuLi–TMEDA)₂ as well as the influence of the concentration of the complexing agent on the kinetics of oligomerization.     

Catalyseurs Zieger-Natta supportés sur MgCl2 pour la polymérisation stéréorégulée du propène. II. Système catalytique simple: Solide binaire MgCl2-TiCl4 et solution cocatalytique triéthylaluminium,benzoate d'ethyle

The kinetics of propene polymerization in heptane slurry at 1–4 bars was studied with a catalytic system that consisted of a solid catalyst prepared by adsorption of TiCI₄ on pure porous MgCl₂ (by dehydrating MgCl₂, 6 H₂O with thionyl chloride) and a cocatalytic, heptanic solution of ethylbenzoate (BE) and triethylaluminium (TEA). At a temperature approaching 60°C/polymerization began immediately after the introduction of the monomer. The polymerization rate decreased continuously during the reaction. The loss in activity, however, was not due to a diffusional effect (e.g., blocking of the catalyst by the growing polymer). Studies of the ageing of the catalytic system showed a deactivation of the catalytic system itself as a function of the time of contact between the catalyst and the cocatalyst. The product of the thermal decomposition of the complex 1:2 formed by the reaction of BE with TEA was not associated with the deactivation process or stereospecific control, which depend on the BE/AI ratio and the presence of the complex.     

Etude de l'action de l'oxyde d'azote (III) sur l'indène et ses homologues

Addition of nitrogen trioxide to indene and alkylindenes N₂O₃ adds to indene and homologous yelding pseudonitrosites which are converted to aminoindanes. Treatment of the pseudonitrosites with alcoholic potassium hydroxide gives the correspondent nitroindenes.     

Etudes par spectroscopie dans l'ultra-violet et le visible, du fullerène C60 en solution dans le n-hexane ou adsorbé sur des solides diélectriques

Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy studies of the fullerene C₆₀ melted in n-hexane or adsorbed on dielectric solids. Experiments of spectroscopy have been carried out, between the far ultraviolet and the near infrared, with pure C₆₀ or containing endohedral complexes rare gas atom-C₆₀, melted in n-hexane, and also pure C₆₀ adsorbed on surfaces of solids.Several phenomena have been observed: 1. a charge transfer due to the influence of interactions between the molecules of C₆₀ and surfaces of solids, yielding new transitions observed in the far ultraviolet ; and interpreted as super excited states of Rydberg type; 1.1. red and blue shifts for some transitions of adsorbed C₆₀, interpreted on the basis of attractive, or turned repulsive, dispersion forces; 1.1.1. emission processes for several transitions of adsorbed C₆₀, explained on the basis of a resonant coupling between these transitions and modes of the surface plasmon induced by the collective excitations of the C₆₀ molecule; this kind of process might be drawn to the Faraday instability in acoustics.     

Le diméthyl- et le diéthyl-tétracarbonylosmium Synthèse et réactivité

The sodium salt Na₂[Os(CO)₄] has been obtained in high yields by the reduction of either OsH₂(CO)₄ or Os₃(CO)₁₂ with sodium sand in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2, 2′-bipyridyle. The reaction of Na₂[Os(CO)₄] with alkylating agents such as methyl and ethyl iodide produces OsR₂(CO)₄ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). NMR. and IR. spectra indicate a cis-octahedral structure of symmetry C_2v for these new alkyl compounds. Bromine breaks one osmium-carbon bond in cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ to give cis-OsCH₃Br(CO)₄, whereas in cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ both ethyl groups are easily displaced by bromine to give cis-OsBr₂(CO)₄. Under CO pressure and at elevated temperature cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ is converted to Os(CO)₅ and ethane. With cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ two CO are inserted in osmium-carbon bonds to give . NMR. and IR. data suggest a cis-configuration for this derivative and the possibility of the presence of rotational isomers.     

Complexes macrocycliques des lanthanides: Stabilité et comportement électrochimique dans le méthanol et le carbonate de propylène

Macrocyclic Complexes of Lanthanides: Stability and Electrochemical Behaviour in Methanol and Propylene Carbonate The stabilities of the 1:1 complexes of the trivalent lanthanides with the diazapolyoxamacrocycles (2.1.) and (2.2.1.) in anhydrous methanol and propylene carbonate have been determined at 25°, by competitive potentiometric methods using H⁺ or Ag⁺ as auxiliary cations, with Et₄NClO₄ as supporting-electrolyte. Additional data are also reported for the crown ethers 15C5 and 18C6 in propylene carbonate. It is shown that the diazapolyoxamacrocycles are much stronger complexing agents for trivalent lanthanides than macrocyclic polyethers, and that the bicyclic (2.2.1.) cryptates are more stable than the monocyclic (2.1.) complexes. With increasing atomic number of the lanthanides, the stability increases with diazapolyoxamacrocycles and decreases with cyclic polyethers. The electrochemical reduction of the trivalent samarium and europium cryptates has been investigated by polarography on a dropping Hg-electrode, in water and methanol. In both solvating solvents, the +2 oxidation states of the cations are stabilized by complexation.     

Réaction d'énamines dérivées de la cyclohexanone avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Reaction with Tetracyanoethylene of Enamines derived from Cyclohexanone At room temperature enamines of cyclohexanone react with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to give substituted tetrahydroindenes 5 . The structures are assigned on the basis of ¹³C-NMR. data and confirmed by hydrolysis. Spectroscopic studies (IR., UV., ESR.) at different temperatures indicate that the reaction can follow two routes: classical zwitterion formation, or a concurrent electron transfer between the enamines and TCNE leading to the derivates 5 . These are the first reported examples of the γ-carbon reactivity of an enamine.     

Fluorénacènes et fluorénaphènes synthèses dans la série des indéno-fluorènes,XVII. Dérivés méthylés du cis-fluorénacène,du trans-fluorénacène et du trans-fluorénaphène

By condensation of the chlorides of the three 9-oxo-fluorene-2-, -3-, and -4-carboxylic acids with 4-bromo-1,2-xylene on one side, and of the chlorides of o-bromobenzoic acid, 2-bromo-4-methyl-benzoic acid and 2-bromo-4,5-dimethyl-benzoic acid with fluorene, 2-methylfluorene and 3-methylfluorene on the other side, followed by direct or indirect cyclisation and by final reduction, several new methyl derivatives of the indenofluorenes I, II and IV are synthesized.     

Copolymerisation radicalaire du méthacrylate de méthyle et du chlorure de vinylidène avec ou sans dérive de composition

Two sets of methylmethacrylate-vinylidene chloride copolymers were prepared via radical copolymerization in dimethylformamide. The first set is carried out in batches. Gas-chromatographic analysis of samples allows a kinetic study from which the reactivity ratios r_M - 2.73 and r_C - 0.24 are derived. For the second set a new apparatus, briefly described, has been used. It permits to keep constant the composition of the monomer mixture, through addition of methyl methacrylate, monitored by a chromatographic analysis. The two sets of copolymers are analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (60 MHz) leading to the triad distribution, from which the reactivity ratios are derived. Owing to the composition drift, the method cannot be applied to the first set of copolymers; but in that case, it is possible to calculate the triad distribution, the knowledge of the reactivity ratios, and the calculation fits quite well the experimental results.     

Réaction d'ylures stabilisés sur des aldéhydosucres: influence de divers facteurs dont la structure de l'aldéhydosucre sur le pourcentage d'isomères géométriques obtenu

Reactions of stabilized ylides with aldehydosugars: influence of some factors, particularly the structure of the aldehydosugar, on the ratio of the geometrical isomers formed Aldehydosugars bearing no cis-substituent on the C-atom β to the carbonyl group ( 2, 3, 6, 7 ) or bearing a substituent without an electron lone-pair ( 5 ) gave, upon treatment with acetylmethylidenetriphenylphosphorane, exclusively the E-isomer, this representing the classical behaviour of aldehydes. On the other hand, aldehydosugars having a lone-pair bearing substituent ( 1, 4, 8, 9 ) gave a mixture of E- and Z-isomers. In the case of most of the aldehydosugars of the latter type (giving some Z-isomer) a partial epimerization of the C-atom α to the carbonyl group took place when the solvent of the Wittig reaction was HCONMe₂. It is probable that the presence of an electron lone-pair in the adequate position inhibits the reversion of the kinetic erythro-betaine, allowing the formation of the Z-isomer and, in particular solvent conditions, a cycloelimination leading to the epimeric aldehydosugar which ultimately reacts to give the epimeric E-enone.     

Catalyseurs Ziegler-Natta supportés sur MgCl2 pour la polymérisation du propène. I. Etude de la réaction entre le triéthylaluminium et le benzoate d'ethyle

In this article we describe a study of the reaction between triethylaluminium (TEA) and ethylbenzoate (BE) in a heptane solution by Fourier transform, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. These compounds were chosen as a model of the cocatalytic solution used with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst supported on MgCl₂ for the stereospecific polymerization of propene. In the polymerization concentration range a 2 TEA:1 BE yellow complex was added to the solution and no free BE could be detected at a AI/BE molar ratio above 2: the solution contained only free and complexed TEA. The complex decomposed spontaneously to a colorless aluminium alcoholate. The rate of decomposition remained slow at room temperature and the reaction was enhanced by heating or by a high AI/BE ratio or high AI concentration. The decomposition was inhibited in the presence of an olefin.     

Etude de copolymères ABS (acrylonitrile–butadiène–styrène): Solvatation préférentielle du polybutadiène par les promoteurs

ABS resins formed by copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile (AN) in presence of polybutadiene, consist of a mixture of SAN graft copolymer on polybutadiene (PBut) and of ungrafted SAN copolymer (styrene-co-acrylonitrile). The kinetic study was completed by showing a preferential solvation of polybutadiene by the initiator. This solvation effect was studied as a function of the concentration ratio SAN/PBut and in relation with the type of initiator. The adsorption of initiator appeared to be maximum when its solubility parameter (σ) is close to that of polybutadiene. As a function of the polybutadiene characteristics, this selective adsorption can be given by where I₁ is the quantity of initiator in the polybutadiene medium, I is the total amount of peroxide, [PBut] is the concentration of polybutadiene, and M?_n its molecular weight. It has been shown furthermore that the preferential solvation of polybutadiene by the benzoyl peroxide can be increased by addition of SAN or acrylonitrile. The consequences of this solvation effect on the characteristics of the grafting reaction, more precisely on the molecular weight of grafted and ungrafted SAN and on the rate of polymerization, were examined.
