Synthesis of xyluronic and riburonic acid derivatives

Various 3-O-acyl-pentofuranurononitrils were synthesized by acylating dehydration of 1,2-isopropylidene-d-xylo- andd-ribo-pentodialdo-furanose oximes, or pentofuranuronic acids via intermediates. Their reactions were investigated.

Über die Herstellung von Äther der enantio-14, 15-Dinorlabdan-Reihe aus Eperusäure

The Conversion of Eperuic Acid into Ethers of the enantio-14, 15-Dinorlabdane Series 5 and 6 are strongly odiferous substances of the ambra-type. Their enantiomers 7 and 8 , hitherto unknown, have been synthesized from eperuic acid (4) and their olfactory properties compared with those of 5 and 6 . 4 was esterified by CH₂N₂ and dehydrogenated with (C₆H₅Se)₂/H₂O₂ to the α,β-unsaturated ester 9 (61%). Oxidation by KMnO₄ in acetone yielded the ketone 3 (60%). Epoxidation followed by treatment with acid converted 3 into the acetals 7 (61%) and 8 (14%). 7 and 8 differ from 5 and 6 in odor intensity, and 6 and 8 show slightly different odor quality.

Trennung und Nachweis von aliphatischen Dicarbons?uren und Hydroxys?uren mittels Gas-Chromatographie

Zusammenfassung Die vollständige Auftrennung eines Gemisches von niederen gesättigten aliphatischen Dicarbonsäuren (Malonsäure bis Pimelinsäure) und natürlich vorkommenden Hydroxysäuren (Glykolsäure, Milchsäure, - und -Hydroxybuttersäure, Tartronsäure, Äpfelsäure, Weinsäuren und Citronensäure) sowie ihre Identifizierung mit Hilfe der Retentionsindices nach Kovats werden beschrieben. Dazu wurden die Säuren in methanolischer Lösung mit Diazomethan methyliert und die Methylester gas-chromatographisch auf einer polaren Säule (Äthylenglykolsuccinat) und einer unpolaren Säule (Silicongummi SE 52) bei Temperaturen zwischen 85 und 175°C getrennt. Die Struktur der bei der Methylierung der Weinsäuren auftretenden Nebenprodukte konnte nach ihrer gas-chromatographischen Trennung mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie aufgeklärt werden. Die Beziehungen zwischen Retentionsindices und Molekülstruktur werden erläutert und graphisch dargestellt. Die Differenzen I _A der Retentionsindices, auf der polaren und der unpolaren Säule erhalten, werden angegeben und dienen zur Identifizierung der Säuren.

Summary The complete separation of a mixture of the lower-saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids (malonic to pimelic acid) and of the naturally occurring hydroxycarboxylic acids (glycollic, lactic, - and -hydroxybutyric, tartronic, malic, tartaric and citric acids) and their identification by calculating the retention indices after Kovats are described. The methyl esters were prepared by adding an ethereal solution of diazomethane to the acids dissolved in methanol. The separation of the esters was achieved by gaschromatography on a polar column (EGS) and on a non-polar column (Silicone Rubber SE 52) with temperatures between 85–175° C. The structure of the by-products obtained with the normal esters of the tartaric acids was elucidated by means of IR-spectroscopy after separation by a gaschromatographic technique. The relationship between the retention indices after Kovats and the molecular structures are given. The differences I _A between the retention indices on the polar and non-polar column are calculated and can be used to identify the different acids.

Zur Photochemie von Allylaryläthern. 55. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

The photochemical reactions of different allyl aryl ethers (Scheme 3) were investigated in hydrocarbons (Chap. 3.1) and in alcoholic solvents (Chap. 3.2). The composition of the photoproducts depended very much on the nature of the solvent. Irradiation (3–95 h) of different methyl substituted allyl aryl ethers ( 1, 3, 5, 7 and 11 ) with a low pressure mercury lamp (λ_Emiss. = 254 nm; 6 or 15 Watt) under argon (quartz vessel) resulted in the formation of 2-, 3– and 4-substituted phenols, dienones and products of consecutive reactions (Tables 1–4 and 6). The results suggested that all products were formed by homolytic cleavage of the C? O bond in the singlet state of the ethers to intermediate radical-geminates (Scheme 5) followed by radical recombination of the two fragments. No products were formed by concerted processes (Table 5, Schemes 5 and 6). Upon irradiation of allyl aryl ethers lacking alkyl substituents at position 4 ( 1 and 5 ) in protic solvents, mainly 2- and 4-allylated phenols were obtained (Tables 1 and 4); 3-allylated phenols were formed only in small amounts (0.02%). However, in aromatic hydrocarbons or cyclohexane 3-allylated phenols were obtained from 1 , 5 and 11 in significant amounts (3–11%; Tables 1, 4 and 6). E.g., upon irradiation of allyl-2,6-dimethyl-2,4-cyclohexadien-1-one ( 6 ) besides 3- and 4-allyl-2, 6-dimethyl-phenol ( 23 and 24 ). Irradiation of 5 in methanol afforded 23 and 6 only in traces, whereas 24 was the main product.     

Oxydation von Allylalkoholen mit Blei(IV)-acetat

Lead tetraacetate (LTA) oxidation of the allylic alcohols 1, 10, 14 and 19 leads to the formation of the epoxides 2, 11, 15 and 20 , products of a novel internal addition reaction of the electron deficient alcohol oxygen to the allylic double bond. In some cases ( 10, 14 ) the formation of a new type of acetoxylated enolethers ( 12, 16 ) is observed. The LTA oxidation of the allylic dienols 21 and 29 gives rise to the formation of the epoxyacetates 25 and 33 , products of a similar internal addition reaction. Furthermore, a variety of cyclization products ( 22, 23, 24, 26, 30, 31, 32 and 34 ) has been isolated whose formation requires an isomerisation of the allylic trans double bond to a cis one.     

Ab initio SCF Calculation of the Fluoronium Ion: Geometry,electronic structure and vibrational constants

An ab initio SCF calculation of 42 points of the energy hypersurface of the fluoronium ion is presented using a contracted F(5s/3p), H(2s) gaussian basis set. In its equilibrium structure a bond length of 1.812 a.u. and a HFH bond angle of 127.2° are predicted. The calculated vibrational frequencies for H₂F⁺, HDF⁺, and D₂F⁺ are in good agreement with the experimental data.
