Die Kristallstruktur der Hexagonalen Verbindungen BaMeIISbO9. II. Ba3CuSb2O9

Crystal Structure of the Hexagonal Compounds Ba^II₃Me^IISb^v₂O₉. II. Ba₃CuSb₂O₉ The crystal structure of the compound Ba₃CuSb₂O₉ was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data and refined down to R = 0.03. Ba₃CuSb₂O₉ crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₃mc (C) with a = b = 5.809 Å, C = 14.321 Å and Z = 2. The structure can be described by close–packed BaO₃ layers in the sequence cchcchcch…?(hex. BaTiO₃ type). Groups of two octahedra with common faces are connected by SbO₆ octahedra via common corners. They are occupied alternately by Cu and Sb. In agreement with the EPR spectra the CuO₆-octahedra present no static Jahn-Teller distortion at room temperature. However the thermal ellipsoids of the oxygen atoms indicate the presence of adynamic Jahn-Teller-effect.     

Dérivés C-glycosyliques. VII. Synthèse et réactions de nitrones dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The syntheses of three types of sugar nitrones (aldonitrone, ketonitrone and α-β unsaturated aldonitrone) are described. On 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, the aldonitrone gave two Δ₄-isoxazolines epimeric at the new asymetric carbon, while the same reaction on the ketonitrone led to a spiro-Δ₄-isoxazoline. The reaction of these nitrones with carbon nucleophiles like phenylethynylmagnesium bromide constitutes a novel chain-extension reaction in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Etudes sur les composés organométalliques. XVII. Synthèse du tétracyclohexyltitane

Studies of Organometallic Compounds. XVII Synthesis of Tetracyclohexyltitanium Tetracyclohexyltitanium is prepared by reaction of TiCl₄ or Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ with dicyclohexylmagnesium in pentane or ether at - 30°. Some aspects of its reactivity and its decomposition are described.     

Die Gasmolekeln Re3Cl9, Re3Br9 und Re3J9. Halogenaustausch und Fragmentierung

The Gaseous Molecules Re₃Cl₉, and Re₃I₉. Halogen Exchange and Fragmentation The mass spectrum of Re₃I₉ is communicated and compared with the spectra of Re₃Cl₉ and Re₃Br₉. The fragmentation corresponds with the stability of the bonds Re? Cl, Re? I, and Re? Re. In the mixed halides Re₃Cl_9?nX_n (X = Br, I) the observed abundance of molecules with n = 0–9 may be described statistically using the same weight for all the 9 positions of halogen. No difference of the 3 bridging halogens and the 6 terminal halogens can be seen regarding the halogen exchange at 300°C.     

Alcoxyflurophosphoranes. II—Monoalcoxyfluorophosphoranes possédant un centre d'asymétrie; diastéréotopie des fluors apicaux

Twenty-six monoalkoxyfluorophosphoranes bearing an asymmetric substituent of types R¹PF₃(OR²*)( 1 ), R¹*PF₃(OR²) ( 2 ), R¹R³PF₂(OR²* 3 ) and R₂¹PF₂(OR²*)( 4 ), have been prepared. The non-equivalence of the axial fluorine atoms is observed in the ¹⁹F NMR spectra for the compounds of types 1 δ_F′a – δ_F′a ～ 0·5 to 3·8 ppm, J(F_aF′_a) ～ 10 Hz, 2 δ_Fa – δ_F′a ～ 1·1 to 1·5 ppm, J(F_aF′_a) ～ 14 Hz and 3 δ_Fa – δ_Fa ～ 0·2 ppm, J(F_aF′_a) ～ 10 Hz but not for those of type 4 R₁²PF₂(OR²*). Its origin is assigned to the diastereotopic character of these fluorines. The possibility of a hindered rotation of the substituents as the origin of the phenomenon is excluded. The preparation of sec-BuPF₄ and EtPhPF₃ is also reported.     

Sur la réaction de reformatsky : I. Préparation et réactivité des organozinciques issus de divers crotonates d''alcoyles

Lithiation of (Me₃Si)₃CH by methyllithium (ether-THF) yields (Me₃Si)₃CLi and by t-butyllithium (C₅H₁₂-TMEDA) yields (Me₃Si)₂CHSiMe₂CH₂Li. Only starting material is recovered when (Me₃Si)₃CH is allowed to react with n-butyl- lithium (ether-THF and C₅H₁₂-TMEDA) and t-butyllithium (C₅H₁₂ and C₅H₁₂- THF). (Me₃Si)₄C is lithiated by t-butyllithium (C₅H₁₂-TMEDA) to give (Me₃Si)₃- CSiMe₂CH₂Li, but not by methyllithium (ether-THF and ether-THF-TMEDA). The structures of the lithiated compounds are based on the carbonation products. The above results are explained in terms of carbanion stability and steric effects. Spectral data are reported on the α-silylacetic acids.     

Aromatic nucleophilic substitution. Part 3. Preparation of novel 9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene- and 9-oxo-9H-xanthenedicarboximides and -dicarboxylates

By aromatic nucleophilic substitution followed by intramolecular acylation, 9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene- and 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-dicarboximides were prepared from nitro- or chlorophthalimides and the dianions of thiosalicylic and salicylic acids (Scheme). The 9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene-3,4-dicarboximides were converted to 9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene-3,4-dicarboxylic-acid derivatives such as anhydride, esters, and further imides. Some of these derivatives proved to be excellent photosensitizers with special properties such as liquid aggregation form, H₂O solubility, solubility in lipophilic organic solvents and polymers, or bathochromic shifts of the absorption wavelengths.     

Réactions d'addition-élimination à partir d'hétérocycles germaniés du type R2Ge. II. Les germa-2-diazolidines-1,3

Addition-elimination reactions from germanium heterocycles . II. 2-Germa-1,3-diazolidines (X ? Y ? NMe). The reactivity of 2-Germa-1,3-diazolidines with unsaturated compounds such as heterocumulenes (CS₂, PhNCO, PhNCS) and with carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) has been investigated. Generally the formation of mono- and diinsertion derivatives is observed. The elimination reactions of (Et₂GeO)_n and (Et₂GeS)₃ from these addition derivatives lead to corresponding carbon diazolidines. The mechanism of these addition-elimination reactions is precised. The interest of these reactions in organic synthesis is underlined.     

Direct synthesis of fluorinated peroxides. 9. Some reactions of perfluorotertiarybutyl hydroperoxide.

The reaction of (CF₃)₃COOH with perfluoroacyl fluorides in the pressure of NaF results in the formation of new peroxy esters of the type, (CF₃)₃COOC(O)R_f. Addition of the hydroperoxide to CF₃NCF₂ yields the unstable amine (CF₃)₃COOCF₂N(H)CF₃. These reactions of (CF₃)₃COOH are compared with analogous reactions of CF₃OOH and SF₅OOH.     

Constitution moléculaire d'α,ω-difluoropolydiméthyl-N-méthylsilazanes. Equilibres obtenus par une réaction de redistribution

Unlike the α,ω-dihalogenopolydimethylsiloxanes, the α,ω-dichloropolydimethyl-N-methylsilazanes show a net preference for cyclic species with respect to linear structures at equilibrium. The aim of this study is to evaluate the perturbations in the molecular constitution of these α,ω-dihalogenopolydimethyl-N-methylsilazanes resulting from the substitution of the terminal chlorine atoms by fluorine atoms. This polymeric family was prepared by reacting (CH₃)₂SiF₂ with nonamethylsilazane [(CH₃)₂SiNCH₃]₃. The redistribution of the fluorine atoms with the bridging methylimino groups reached an equilibrium after about 5 months' heating at 150°C for all the samples prepared. The relative abundance of the various molecular species and fragments at equilibrium was deduced from the quantitative analysis of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The molecular constitution at equilibrium is described by two constants. The first, K = [neso] [middles in chains]/[terminal moieties]² = (2.8 ± 0.8) 10^?2, shows that the presence of terminal fluorine atoms is unfavorable to the formation of short chains. On the other hand, the trimeric cyclic species [(CH₃)₂SiNCH₃]₃ are found to be highly favored (K°₃ = 550 ± 100 mole/liter). These observations further confirm that the equilibrium constants which control the noncyclic part of polymeric families depend little on the functionality of the substituents exchanged [for example, on changing from ? N(CH₃)₂ to ? NCH₃? ] when the reorganization heat order is one.     

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.     

Dérivés de désoxy-hydroxylamino-sucres et radicaux libres diglycosylnitroxydes correspondants. Communication préliminaire

Deoxy-hydroxylamino-sugar Derivatives and Corresponding Diglycosylnitroxides Radicals A number of sugar aldonitrones, including C,N-diglycosylnitrones, and ketonitrones have been treated with Grignard reagents or cyanide anion leading to the corresponding deoxy-hydroxylamino-sugars. On oxidation (air, H₅IO₆ or PbO₂), these compounds gave the corresponding nitroxide radicals whose ESR. spectra are reported. Analogues of disaccharides, in which the interglycosidic O-bridge is replaced by a hydroxyimino group, have been obtained by reacting a partially blocked sugar bearing a free hemiacetal group either with a deoxy-hydroxylaminosugar or with hydroxylamine, followed by reaction with an aldehydosugar and a reducing agent (NaBH₄). These reactions represents the key synthetic steps for the oligosaccharide-type synthesis of deoxy-hydroxyimino-oligosaccharides. Their oxidation yielded the corresponding nitroxide radicals whose ESR. spectra gave information on the conformation about the ‘interglycosidic’ bridge. This type of compounds should constitute useful spin markers for biological studies.     

Synthèse électrochimique du cycle époxydique. Communication préliminaire

The polarographic behaviour of ditosyloxy alkanes TsO(CH₂)_nOTs in aprotic medium suggests that intramolecular cyclisation takes place after reductive cleavage of a single SO₂? O bond at the dropping electrode. This hypothesis was verified by controlled potential electrolysis of the lower homologues at a mercury cathode. High yields of epoxy compounds are obtained by this method.     

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.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles et monocycles apparentés

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles and Related Monocyclic Subunits The stability constants of the Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes of the cylindrical macrotricycle 1a (1,7,13,19-tetraaza 4,16-dioxa 10,22,27,32-tetrathiatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane) have been determined by pH-metry, as well as those of the Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ complexes of the monocyclic subunit 2a (1,7-dimethyl-1,7-diaza 4,10-dithiacyclododecane), in aqueous solutions (NaClO₄) at 25°. In the Cu(II) systems, equilibria were reached slowly, and the results established by pH-metry were confirmed by UV/VIS spectrophotometric studies. The tricycle 1a forms dinuclear cryptates with copper and silver, with overall stability constants log β₂₁₀ (Cu₂- 1a )⁴⁺ = 18.5, log β_21-2 (Cu₂- 1a (OH)₂)²⁺ = 4.8, log β₂₁₀(Ag₂- 1a )²⁺ = 23.0. Ag⁺ also forms a mononuclear (Ag- 1a )⁺ complex, with log β₁₁₀ = 13.1, but no mononuclear species were detected in the Cu- 1a system. The absorption spectra of the bis-Cu(II) complexes of 1a and 2a in aqueous medium, MeOH and propylene carbonate (PC) are given, as well as those, in MeOH and PC, of the bis-copper complexes of the related monocycles 3 and 4 (1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trithiacyclopentadecane and 1.10-diaza 4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclooctadecane, respectively), and tricycle 5 with two benzyl groups in the lateral chains. The complexing properties of the polyoxa- and polythia macrotricycles (Parts I and II of this series) are compared to those of other bis-chelating ligands, the bicyclic bis-tren and the monocyclic bis-dien.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés phosphores. Etude de dithiaphospholanes-1,3,2

The proton NMR spectral analysis of eight different 1,3,2-dithiaphospholanes with various groups attached to the phosphorus atom has been performed. The AA′BB′X (X phosphorus atom) system shows that the two ³J(P? S? C? H) coupling constants have a small magnitude and opposite signs. Using the ³J(HH) values, the torsion about the C₄—C₅ bond has been evaluated. The conformational requirements in the two isomers of the 2 phenyl-4-methyl-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane are also discussed.

Fluoradiazadiphosphetidines. 9. Mass Spectrometric Investigation of a Cuban-like Phosphorus-Nitrogen Compound An electron-impact study of the newly synthesized cuban-like P? N compound (CH₃NPF₂)₄(CH₃NCONCH₃)₂ is reported. The fragmentation pattern has been investigated on the basis of high resolution mass measurements and transition signals for the fragmentation of metastable ions. The main fragmentation processes including some new rearrangements are discussed.     

9-Alkenylcarbazoles. 10. 13C NMR spectra of 9-vinyl- and cis- and trans-9-propenylcarbazoles

The ¹³C NMR spectra of a number of ring-substituted 9-vinylcarbazoles and cis- and trans-9-propenylcarbazoles were studied. It was found that the C_B chemical shifts of the vinyl atoms of these compounds correlate satisfactorily with the constants of the substituents in the 3 and 6 position of the carbazolyl rings; the slopes of the straight lines increase in the order 5.84, 7.68, 9.56. The inductive and conjugation components of the effect of the substituents on the chemical shifts of the C_B atoms were evaluated. It follows from the results obtained that the effects of p- conjugation are realized not only in the relatively planar isomers but also in the nonplanar cis isomers of 9-alkenylcarbazoles.See [1] for Communication 9.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1640–1644, December, 1982.
