Réactions du diazométhane III. Etude de la réaction d'insertion entre diazométhane et phénylcarbamates: comportement de la N-(phénoxy-carbonyl)-aniline et de la N-(p-nitrophénoxy-carbonyl)-aniline

Diazomethane reacts with N-(p-nitrophenoxy-carbonyl)-aniline giving on the one hand p-nitroanisole and phenylisocyanate, the latter being transformed into N-phenyl-β-propiolactam, and on the other hand N-(p-nitrophenoxy)-acetanilide by insertion. N-(phenoxy-carbonyl)-aniline does not react. The insertion reaction seems to depend on the heterolysis of the bond between the oxygen of the p-nitrophenoxy group and the carbamic carbonyl function, which is strongly polarized (existence of a mesomeric nitro-phenoxonium). The insertion is equally influenced y the nature of the radical R attached to the carbamic nitrogen: with R = ? CH₂COOC₂H₅ the reaction yields only isocyanate, with R = ? C₆H₅ it yields at the same time the isocyanate and the insertion product.     

Cyclisations par l'intermédiaire de fonctions phénylthioet phénoxy-carbamyle. I. Diphényl-1,2-alcoyl-5-dioxo-3,6-hexahydro-triazines-1,2,4

The N-(p-nitrophenoxy-carbonyl) and N-(phenylthio-carbonyl) derivatives of α-amino-acyl-hydrazides cyclize in presence of diazomethane, yielding hexahydro-1, 2, 4-triazines with simultaneous formation of p-nitro-anisole or thio-anisole respectively. The molecules with a phenoxycarbonyl function such as N-(phenoxycarbonyl)-glycyl-(N, N′-diphenylhydrazide) give the corresponding ring products and anisole only in solvents with high dielectric constant (e.g. nitromethane). The phenylthio-carbonyl derivatives give the same ring products in presence of lead acetate by the intervention of HO^?. The p-nitrophenoxycarbonyl derivatives give rise to the same cyclisations in the presence of pyridine by the intermediate of carbamyle-pyridinium ion acting as electrophile. These different types of intramolecular reactions are illustrated by the formation of 1, 2-diphenyl-5-alcoyl-3, 6-dioxo-1, 2, 4-hexahydro-triazines.     

Réactivité d'analogues bihétérocycliques du phénanthrène,vis-à-vis des agents d'acétylation et de lithiation

The influence of annelaction and of the heteroatom upon the reactity of some haterocyclic analogus of phenanthrene with a pyrrole nucleos was tested toward acetylation and lithiation. If methy-l[1]benzofuro-[3,2-b]pyrrole was acetylated only in the 2-position, the sulfer and selenious analogues with [3,2-b] and [2,3-b] annelarion were acetylated in the -2 and -3 position. No reaction at all or only with poor yield (in the oxygenated series) was observed with butyllithium except on the case of l-methyl[1]benzoselenono[2,3-b]pyrrole, where the opening of the selenophene nucleos gives, after carbonation and action of diazomethane, l-methyl-2-methoxycarbony 1-3-(o-methylselenophenyl) pyrrole.     

Hétérocyclisations intramoléculaires par réaction d'oxymercuration III. Régiosélectivité et stéréosélectivité de l'oxymercuration intramoléculaire de phénols orthoallyliques

The intramolecular heterocylization of ortho-allylic phenols by oxymercuration has been realized with compounds having different substituents on the allylic chain. In all cases, only the corresponding benzofuran is formed. However, with a substituent at the terminal carbon of the double bond, we also observed the formation of benzopyran. The influence of the solvent and the mercuric salt on the orientation of this reaction has been examined. There is evidence of a molecular rearrangement during the reduction.     

Action de réactifs nucléophiles sur les phényl-5 thiéno[3,2-b]pyrannone-7 et phényl-2 benzo[b]thiéno[3,2-b]pyrannone-4

Reactions of 5-phenylthieno[3,2-b]pyran-7-one, 2-phenylbenzo[b]-thieno[3,2-b]pyran-4-one and the corresponding thiones with sodium ethylate, guanidines, hydrazines and amines are described and compared to those observed with benzopyranones.     

Couplages J des groupes méthyle dans les phényltriméthylsilanes p-substitués: Effets de solvants

The J coupling constants of a series of p-substituted phenyltrimethylsilanes were measured in CH₂Cl₂ and CCl₄ solutions. The solvent effect is discussed; it is too large to allow any straightward conclusion on ring-substituent interaction.     

Action de O- et N-nucléophiles sur les sels de phényl-3 benzopyrylium-1

3-Phenyl-1-benzopyrylium percholorates 1a, 1i react exculusively at C-2 with ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, affording mixed acetals 2a, 3a, 3i . Aqueous ammonia gives symmetrical secondary amines 4a, 4b or bis(3-phenyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)amines, while with aqueous aliphatic amines (40%) bis-acetals 5a, 5b or 2,2′-oxy-bis(3-phenyl-2H-1-benzopyrans) are characterized. In some other acidic conditions, 5a and 5b are also obtained.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés anthracéniques: II—Anisotropie magnétique du phényle et effets steriques

The peri effect induced by the phenyl group has been studied in the anthracene series by means of ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. The chemical shifts of overcrowded protons can be explained by a combination of magnetic anisotropy and steric effects. Steric contributions amount to c. 25% of the phenyl induced shift at the peri position. Amongst published ring-current theories, only the model of Johnson and Bovey is capable of describing correctly the shielding region of the phenyl group. The unexpected shieldings and deshieldings, observed by ¹³C n.m.r. in the case of very hindered derivatives, is probably due to distortions of the anthracene skeleton.     

Etude par spectrométrie de masse de l'ionisation de benzonitriles,de phénylacétonitriles et de N,N-diméthylanilines substitués

Molecular ionization potentials for series of compounds of the type X? C₆H₄? CN, X? C₆H₄CH₂? CN and X? C₆H₄? N(CH₃)₂ have been measured using the retarding potential difference technique (RPD. technique). The effect of the various substituents X is better correlated through the electrophilic Brown σ_p⁺ constants than through Hammett's σ_p values. No meta-para orientation effect is observed. For all the disubstituted phenyl compounds studied, the effect of the second substituent is affected by the electron-releasing power of the original substituent. Ionization potentials calculated by using the semi-empirical method of equivalent orbitals are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

Réarrangements 1,3 en série hétérocyclicque. II. Synthese d'alcoxy-5 et aryloxy-5 phényl-2 oxadiazoles-1,3,4

The 5-Chloro-2-Phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole has been prepared in fair yield. This product is a convenient starting material for the synthesis of O-alkylated or O-arylated derivatives of the 5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole.     

Nouveaux types de sucres triazotés: triazènes et phénylimino-2-oxadiazoles-1,3,4. Communication préliminaire

Novel types of sugars bearing three nitrogen atoms: triazenes and 2-phenylimino-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles . A series of aminodeoxysugars treated with p-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate led to the corresponding triazenes, each of which in chloroform solution existing as an equilibrium between its two tautomeric forms. The free energy of activation of the exchange of the proton between the two nitrogen atoms has been estimated by variable temperature ¹H-NMR. measurements. Each triazenylsugar gave on acetylation an unique positional isomer bearing its acyl group on the nitrogen atom directly attached to the glycosyl group. Phenylsemicarbazones of two keto-sugars were oxidized with El Khadem's reagent (I₂, HgO, MgO) to give the corresponding spiro-2-phenylimino-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles.

An example of stereospecific and stereoselective reactions is described concerning the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxyde with 1,2-dimethyl-5-diphenyl-3-pyrazoline. The structure of the two epimeric 5,6-dimethyl 3,4-dimethyl[4,3-d]pyrazolidinoisoxazo-lines-2 was proved by the means of chemical and physical methods. The conversion of one epimeric product to another more stable is achieved and discussed.

In this paper, we describe the results of a study of the reaction of diaryl nitrilimines with N-ethylindole ( 1 ) and 2-methoxycarbonyl-N-ethylindole ( 2 ). The regioselectiivity of the reaction is reversed when going from 1 to 2 as it has been spectroscopically and chemically demonstrated.     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du 13C des chlorhydrates de-N-(phényl-1 cyclohexyl) piperidines.

The conformations of N-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidinium chloride and some 4-substituted derivatives in H₂O and CDCl₃ were studied by means of ¹³C NMR. The results confirm the greater stability of compounds with equatorial piperidinium. Certain characteristics in the observed chemical shifts may be attributed to deformations of the cyclohexyl system, probably caused by the phenomenon of solvation.     

Acylation des β-énaminoesters: Regio et stéréoformation des β-énaminoesters N- ou C-acylés

The reaction of acyl chlorides with cyclic five-membered β-enaminoesters gave exclusively N-acylated products while reaction of acyl chlorides with cyclic seven-membered β-enaminoesters gave only C-acylated products. In the case of cyclic six-membered β-enaminoesters, the reaction of acyl chlorides gave a mixture of N-acylated and C-acylated products.

Propriétés électriques du trioxyde de tungstène a proximité de sa composition stoechiométrique. Influence des conditions thermodynamiques de préparation et phénomènes de trempe

The experimental study of variations in electrical conductivity of WO_3−x vs oxygen partial pressure and temperature shows evidence of interstitial W⁶_i· as being the major defect. Under certain conditions, point defects can order themselves in extended defects. The behavior of electrical conductivity can be interpreted in terms of thermodynamic equilibrium between point defects and extended defects, the latter leading to structural modifications beyond a certain departure from stoichiometry. Moreover, WO_3−x shows evidence of quenching phenomena allowing it to keep electrical features characteristic of high temperatures down to room temperature. These properties may explain discrepancies between previous data.
