Proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance study on some n- and o-acyl derivatives of monohydroxypyridines

Comparative study on the proton and carbon NMR spectra for a series of $\text{N}$- and $\text{O}$-acyl substituted monohydroxypyridines (C₅H₄NO$\text{R}$: $\text{R}$=-H, -CHO, -COCH₃, -COC(CH₃)₃, -COCF₃, -COC₆H₅, -SO₂CH₃, -SO₂C₆H₄CH₃ is reported. p]Characteristic ¹H, ¹³ NMR and IR spectral features allow simple and unambiguous distinction between the isomeric $\text{N}$- and/or $\text{O}$-acyl-derivatives of 2-, 3- and 4-hydroxypyridines, so that both forms can clearly be identified when tautomeric equilibria occur, since the tautomerism rate is slow on the NMR time scale     

Retro carotenoids with substituted 2,5-oxa-bicycloheptane end groups

BF₃-mediated formation of a 2,5-oxygen bridge from carotenoids with 2-hydroxy-β-type end groups accompanied by dehydrogenation and $\text{retro}$ shift of the polyene system is reported. The configuration of the Δ6,6′ double bonds are established by ¹H NMR.     

The synthesis of benzo[c]cinnoline 5,6-dioxides and related compounds

The preparation of a variety of benzo[c]cinnolines as well as benzo[c]cinnoline monoxides and dioxides by reduction of the corresponding 2,2-dinitrobiphenyls with hydrogen and Raney nickel of low activity is described. The detailed procedures developed produce superior yields of benzo[c]cinnoline monoxides and dioxides.

The long wave length band in the U. V. spectrum of the colored compounds is compared.

The reactions of N-sulfinylsulfonamides with dimethyIketen-N-phenylimine furnish 3- sulfonylimino-1,2-thiazetidin-1-oxides (e.g. $\text{4}$) instead of the previously reported 3-isopropylidene-1,2,4-thiadiazetidin-1-oxides (e.g. $\text{3}$).

From ¹³C NMR coalescence temperature measurements, free energies of activation for degenerate ring reversal in two configurationally isomeric dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 ethers have been determined to be $\text{ca}$. 10.2 kcal/mole, with higher barriers for the 1:1 complexes with potassium phenoxide.

5-Nitropyrimidine undergoes inverse Diels-Alder cycloadditions with ketene_N,N-, -O,O- acetals and enamines resulting in pyridine derivatives. The ¹H NMR evidence for the $\text{1}$-N,N-diethyl-aminopropyne cycloadduct formation is presented.     

Addition products of hydrazine derivatives to azo-alkenes - III. α-phenylhydrazino-phenylhydrazones

The addition of phenylhydrazine to phenylazo-alkenes $\text{4}$ yields α-(1-phenylhydrazino)-phenylhydrazones $\text{1}$. The reaction of phenylhydrazine with α-halogenated carbonyl compounds $\text{5}$ affords either $\text{1}$ or the isomeric α-(2-phenylhydrazino)-phenylhydrazones $\text{2}$. Structures $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$ (>N-NH₂ and-NH-NH- groups, respectively) can be differentiated by ¹H NMR in DMSO-D₆ solution. Possible pathways of the reactions leading to either $\text{1}$ or$\text{2}$ are discussed. Compounds $\text{1}$ are found to be precursors of phenylosazones $\text{6}$.     

Silylated thiiran-1-oxides: Structure,ring opening and conversion to a benzothiophene.

Silylated thiirans upon oxidation with peroxyacids do not give exclusively the corresponding S-oxides but, in addition some products derived from ring opening. The stereochemistry of the oxidation to thiiran-1-oxides is $\text{anti}$ to the silyl group as demonstrated by X-ray analysis.     

Wide-band proton NMR study of a new hydrate WO3 · 13H2O in the powder form

The proton NMR of a new hydrate $\text{WO}{}_3\text{·}\text{1}\text{3}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$ as a powder was studied between ?140 and 100°C. The lattice can be considered as “rigid” at temperatures below ?80°C. The structural water corresponding to the above formula is coordinated in the form of water molecules. Above ?80°C it undergoes thermally activated hindered rotation. The compound also retains adsorbed surface “water,” partly in the form of strongly bonded OH groups, partly in the form of water molecules. Degassing at 175°C and 10^?4 Torr removes the adsorbed molecular water but leaves OH groups bonded to the surface.     

NMR spectra of cyclic nitrones. 4. Synthesis and 13C NMR spectra of 4H-imidazole N-oxides and N,N-dioxides

4H-Imidazole 1,3-dioxides and 4H-imidazole 3-oxides were obtained by oxidation of 1-hydroxy-3-imidazoline 3-oxides and 1-hydroxy-3-imidazolines with lead and manganese dioxides or the stable nitroxyl radical, while 4H-imidazole 1-oxides were obtained by thermal decomposition of 1-acetoxy-3-imidazoline 3-oxides. Facile oxidation of the ethyl group in 5-ethyl-4H-imidazole 1,3-dioxide and the formation of 5-acetyl-4H-imidazole 1,3-dioxide and 5-acetyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxide were observed. It is shown that a strictly determined region of chemical shifts of the C(₂), C(₅), and C(₄) atoms is characteristic for each group of 4H-imidazole N-oxides in the ¹³C NMR spectra; this makes it possible to clearly establish the position of the N-oxide oxygen atom.See [1] for Communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1640–1648, December, 1988.

Five different 2$\text{H}$-pyrrole-1-oxides have been prepared by dehydrogenation of their corresponding pyrroline-1-oxide presursors and characterized by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with dimethyl ethyne dicarboxylate and/or N-phenyl maleic imide.     

Synthesis of perfluorochemicals for use as blood substitutes,Part I. Electrochemical fluorination of N-methyldecahydroquinoline and N-methyldecahydroisoquinoline

Electrochemical fluorination of N-methyldecahydroquinoline afforded mainly a mixture of $\text{cis}$ and $\text{trans}$ N-(F-methyl)-F-decahydroquinoline, their rearranged isomers and F-propyl-F-cyclohexane arising from the cleavage at carbon-nitrogen bonds, in a ratio of approximately 2:4:6:3. N-Methyldecahydroisoquinoline was also fluorinated electrochemically to give a mixture of $\text{cis}$ and $\text{trans}$ N-(F-methyl)-F-decahydroisoquinoline, their rearranged isomers and 1-(F-ethyl)-2-(F-methyl)-F-cyclohexane in a ratio of approximately 4:4:6:1. No correlation was found between the $\text{cis}$ and $\text{trans}$ ratio of starting materials and that of the corresponding perfluorinated amines. Fluorination of N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline gave much lower yields.     

Structural and rotational isomerism in diaminocarbene complexes of iron

Primary amines react with a variety of cationic and neutral iron isocyanide complexes to yield structural and rotational diaminocarbene isomers characterized by variable temperature ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. Structural isomers result from the conversion of amines to isocyanide ligands via the base-catalyzed nucleophilic attack of initially formed diaminocarbenes on $\text{cis}$ isocyanides substituents, the effect on isomer populations is often marked. Factors influencing structural and rotational isomeric preferences are discussed.
