Beckmann-Umlagerung und Fragmentierung,III. Teil Versuche zur 7-Zentren-Fragmentierung eines γ-Aminoketoxims: Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 20. Mitteilung

In aqueous dioxane the p-toluenesulfonate 11B of 1β-dimethylamino-5-oximino-trans-decalin (11a) undergoes almost quantitative Beckmann rearrangement to the lactam 23. Approx. 1%, only, of the product of so-called 7-centre fragmentation, i.e. trans-9-cyano-non-5-enal (14) is detectable. Furthermore, the picryl ether 11C of the oxime 11a reacts at a normal rate. The results confirm the conclusion reached earlier, namely that fragmentation cannot compete with the Beckmann rearrangement in the case of γ-amino ketoximes, in contrast to the behaviour of α-amino ketoximes.     

Beckmann-Umlagerung und Fragmentierung,IV. Teil. 5- und 7-Zentren-Fragmentierung von γ-Keto-ketoximen: Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 21. Mitteilung

A heterolytic 7-centre fragmentation reaction of the type a-b-c-d-e-f-X → a b + c = d + e = f + X has been demonstrated for the first time utilizing γ-keto-ketoximes. This system may also undergo a novel 5-centre fragmentation. With sodium hydroxide in aqueous ethanol and with sodium ethoxide in ethanol the p-toluene-sulfonate of 1-oxo-9-methyl-5-oximino-trans-decalin (7b) is converted quantitatively into 9-cyano-6-methyl-non-5-enoic acid (10b) and the corresponding ethyl ester, respectively. With lower concentrations of nucleophile normal Beckmann rearrangement to the lactam 13a and the lactimether 19b predominates. In the case of the p-toluenesulfonate of the 9-nor-derivative 7a a base-induced 5-centre fragmentation reaction to the α,β-unsaturated ketone 12 competes with 7-centre fragmentation to 9-cyano-non-5-enoic acid (10a), strong bases favouring the former reaction. In the absence of strong bases of nucleophiles Beckmann rearrangement again dominates.     

BECKMANN-Umlagerung und Fragmentierung; V. Teil Mechanismus der 7-Zentren-Fragmentierung von 1-Oxo-5-oximino-9-methyl-trans-decalin. Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 22. Mitteilung

The reaction rates of heterolytic fragmentation of 5-(p, -toluenesulfonyloxyimino)-1-oxo-9-methyl-trans-decalin ( 1 ), induced by sodium hydroxide in 80% ethanol and by sodium ethoxide in 100% ethanol, has been determined. The reaction of the oxime tosylate 1 with sodium ethoxide is first order with respect to both reactants. A similar base-dependence is observed in the reaction of the oxime tosylate 1 with sodium hydroxide. These results are explained in terms of an addition-fragmentation mechanism. This involves reversible addition of NaOH or NaOC₂H₅ to the carbonyl group of the oxime tosylate 1 and concerted fragmentation of the addition compounds 5a and 5b , yielding 9-cyano-6-methyl-trans-non-5-enoic acid ( 4a ) and the corresponding ethyl ester 4b , respectively. These reaction appear to be the first cases of concerted and stereospecific 7-centre fragmentation.     

Fragmentierung von α-Aminoketoximen. IV. Teil Der Einfluss sterischer. Faktoren Fragmentierungsreaktion, 17. Mitteilung

(N-Methyl-2-piperidyl)phenyl ketoxime acetate( 10b ) and (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-phenyl ketoxime acetate ( 13b ) undergo quantitative fragmentation in 80% ethanol to yield benzonitrile and the cyclic imonium salts 11 and 14 . Their reaction rates are approx. 10⁷ and 10⁸, respectively, as high as those calculated for the homomorphous compounds, viz. 2-methylcyclohexylphenyl ketoxime acetate ( 12b ) and 2-methylcyclopentylphenyl ketoxime acetate ( 15b ), which undergo quantitative Beckmann rearrangement. Synchronous fragmentation therefore provides a very large driving force for ionisation, even when the stereo-electronically suitable conformation is not the prevalent one, as with 10b .     

Fragmentierung von α-Aminoketoximen. V. Teil. (2-Chinuclidinyl)-phenyl-ketoxim. Zur Gültigkeit der BREDTschen Regel bei energiereichen Zwischenstufen Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 18. Mitteilung

The reaction of (2-quinuclidinyl) phenyl ketoxime tosylate ( 1 ) in aqueous ethanol or tetrahydrofuran yields 10 to 20% of benzonitrile and 4-piperidyl-acetaldehyde ( 6 ), the tautomer of 2-quinuclidinol ( 5 ), besides N-(2-quinuclidinyl)-benzamide ( 4 ). In phenol some 2-phenoxyquinuclidin ( 21 ) and benzonitrile are obtained besides phenyl N-(2-quinuclidinyl)-benzimidate ( 20 ). Furthermore, the α-aminoketoximetosylate 1 reacts 2 to 4 times as fast as the homomorphous (bicyclo[2.2.2]-2-octyl) phenyl ketoxime tosylate ( 7 ). By contrast the latter untergoes quantitative Beckmann rearrangement to the amide 12 .

On the Structure Elucidation of Niphimycin, Part I. Purification and Characterization of the Niphimycins Iα and Ib?; Degradation by Nitric Acid From a sample of niphimycin the pure components, niphimycin Iα and Ib?, were isolated by column chromatography and droplet counter-current chromatography. They were characterized by UV., IR., ¹H-NMR. (300 MHz) and ¹³C-NMR. spectra. A vigorous degradation of niphimycin with nitric acid, followed by esterification with diazomethane, gave a complex mixture, from which many components could be isolated and identified. Several of the degradation products were synthesized, one of them (dimethyl 2,4-dimethyladipate) in a stereospecific manner, establishing the configuration of two of the centers of chirality of niphimycin. Niphithricin was identified with copiamycin and yielded with nitric acid a degradation mixture very similar to that from niphimycin. The structures of the degradation products are in good agreement with a macrolide-type structure of niphimycin and copiamycin. Further work for structure elucidation of niphimycin and copiamycin is in progress.     

Struktur und Mechanismus bei Fragmentierungsreaktionen 1. Teil. Die stereoisomeren 10-Chlor-decahydro-isochinoline. Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 23. Mitteilung

cis-10-Chloro-N-methyl-decahydro-isoquinoline ( 5 ) and its trans-isomer 6 undergo heterolytic fragmentation in 80% ethanol by different mechanisms. As predictable on stereo-chemical grounds the cis-isomer 5 reacts by the accelerated synchronous mechanism, the trans-isomer 6 , however, by the two-step carbonium ion mechanism. Synchronous fragmentation therefore dominates over the two-step process even when the latter would lead to a relatively stable tertiary carbonium ion. In both cases the more highly substituted and thermochemically more stable olefinic fragment 8 is formed.     

Zum Mechanismus Massenspektrometrischer Fragmentierungsreaktionen. XVI—hydrid-Wanderungen bei der Fragmentierung von αω-Dimethoxyalkyl-Ionen

The isomerization and fragmentation of α,ω-dimethoxyalkyl ions a (CH₃OCH₂(CH₂)_n- CH⁺OCH₃, n = 1-6) has been investigated by deuterium labelling. It is shown that a isomerizes to ion a' by hydride transfer from the ω-CH₂ group to the positive charge at the α-C-atom before elimination of methanol. Both methoxy groups are lost as methanol. The amount of isomerization can be deduced from alkene elimination from [a ? CH₃OH]+ ions in deuterated derivatives of a. On average at 70 eV three rearrangement steps involving hydride transfer are observed.

Structural Elucidation of Niphimycin, Part 3. Identity of Scopafungin and Niphimycin I. Position of the Malonyl Residue of Niphimycin and Copiamycin The identity of scopafungin with niphimycin I was proven by spectroscopic and chromatographic methods and by common degradation products. The position of the malonyl residue in niphimycin I ( 9 ) and in copiamycin ( 14 ) was deduced by ¹H-NMR spin-decoupling experiments of a degradation product ( 10 ).     

Die sterischen Bedingungen der Fragmentierungsreaktion. II. Teil. Stereoisomere 3-Aminocyclohexyl-p-toluolsulfonate. Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 15. Mitteilung

The solvolytic fragmentation of cis- and of trans-3-amino-cyclohexyl p-toluenesulfonates 8a and 9a and the corresponding N, N-dimethyl derivatives 8b and 9b has been studied. In 80% ethanol the cis-amino-tosylates 8a and 8b react faster than the homomorphous cis-3-alkyl-cyclohexyl tosylates 11a and 11b to yield fragmentation product exclusively or predominantly. The synchronous mechanism predictable on stereoelectronic grounds is therefore indicated.

Die sterischen Bedingungen der Fragmentierungsreaktion III. Teil. Stereoisomere 4-, 5- und 7-Decahydrochinolyl-toluolsulfonate Fragmentierungsreaktionen, 16. Mitteilung

In a heterolytic fragmentation reaction of the type a-b-c-d-X → a - b + c = d + : X the geometry of the d - X bond and that of the electron-donating group a relative to the b - c bond are critical. This follows from a study of solvolysis rates and products of stereoisomeric 1-methyl-4-, -5- and -7-decahydroquinolyl p-toluenesulphonates in 80 Vol.% ethanol.
