Determination de la structure de perfluoroalcenes a chaines longues par R.M.N. du19F : lère Partie : pefluoroalcenes-1

After a review of 1-perfluoroalkene R_FCFCF₂ synthesis, with R_FC₄F₉, C₅F₁₁, C₆F₁₃, we have studied their fine structures by ¹⁹F N.M.R. This study has led us to first generalize the rules set for the chemical shifts and coupling constants of olefinic fluorine atoms of fluoropropene and their derivatives. Then, we have been able to determinate unambiguously the chemical shifts of the difluoromethylene groups of the perfluorinated chains. We have thus shown, by irradiation, that inversions may take place in the chemical shifts of the CF₂ groups at the β and γ position of the double bond.     

STRUCTURE OF DYE AGGREGATES AND THE MECHANISM(S) OF PHOTOSENSITIZATION OF AgBr*,†

Abstract— This paper reports the present conclusions of an extended investigation on photo-sensitization of silver bromide. A general molecular packing structure for dye aggregates on the AgBr (111) surface is proposed. This structure, along with the observed spectral absorption displacements of small aggregates, is used to elucidate the phenomena of antisensitization and supersensitization. Supersensitization is seen as a partitioning of large dye aggregates into small aggregates by a deliberately added second component or by gaps between the aggregates. This partitioning isolates antisensitizing dye in a small fraction of the aggregates and minimizes its effect. The smallest aggregates are least likely to contain an antisensitizer, and show the highest quantum efficiency for photoconductivity and photographic action. Photoconductivity measurements establish that supersensitization occurs before the electron appears in the AgBr phase.
The question of direct electron injection vs. energy transfer as mechanisms for AgBr photosensitization is examined in terms of radiationless transfer to surface Ag₂S on AgBr. The absorption of surface Ag₂S is shown to be adequate for acceptance of Förster transfer from the dye, and surface Ag₂S is known to be photographically active. However, this mechanism is inefficient, and inadequate to account for observed high efficiency infrared sensitization. Direct electron injection is seen as the more probable mechanism for efficient dye sensitization of AgBr.     

Structure des savons alcalins

Summary This is a systematic X-ray diffraction study of the structure of the mesomorphic phases occurring with potassium soaps ranging from C₈ to C₂₂.Four types of structure have been identified. The first is lamellar with both polar groups and paraffin chains in the crystalline state. The second is also lamellar, but with both polar groups and paraffin chains in the liquid state. The third corresponds to the localization of indefinitely long ribbons on a two-dimensional oblique lattice; polar groups are crystalline and paraffin chains desorganized. The fourth corresponds to the localization of discs on a three-dimensionnalB-faces centered orthorhombic lattice; polar groups are crystalline and paraffin chains disorganized.The structural parameters and the polymorphism of the polar groups have been discussed.

Zusammenfassung Wir beschreiben hier eine systematische Röntgenstrahlendiffraktionsforschung der Struktur der mesomorphen Phasen von Kalium Seifen von C₈ bis C₂₂.Vier Strukturtypen wurden gefunden. Die erste Struktur ist lamellar; beides, die polaren Gruppen und die Paraffinketten sind kristallisiert. Die zweite Struktur ist auch lamellar; aber in diesem Falle sind beides, die polaren Gruppen und Paraffinketten geschmolzen. Die dritte Struktur entspricht einer Lokalisation von Seifenbändern in einem zweidimensionalen monoklinen Gitter; die polaren Gruppen sind kristallisiert und die Paraffinketten geschmolzen. Die vierte Struktur entspricht einer Lokalisation von Seifenscheiben in einemB-flächenzentrierten orthorhombischen Raumgitter; die Polargruppen sind kristallisiert und die Paraffinketten geschmolzen.Wir haben aus den experimentellen Resultaten einige Schlußfolgerungen gezogen.

     

Etudes stéréochimiques XIV. Adduits de Diels-Alder en série résiniques; action des peracides et ouvertures acido-catalysées d'époxydes

Studies in Stereochemistry XIV. Diels-Alder adducts in the resin series; action of peracids and acid-catalysed ring opening of epoxides The synthesis of Diels-Alder compounds of type 2 with a 17-nor-13(14)-atisène skeleton is described (cf. Schemes 1–3). Depending on the nature and configuration of substituents R¹ and R² on the carbon atoms 15 and 16, an epoxide ( 24–33 ) or a ketone ( 35–38 ) or a mixture of epoxide, ketone and lactone is obtained by the action of p-nitroperbenzoic acid on the double bond of these adducts (cf. Scheme 4). A simplified reaction scheme is suggested to explain the formation of the various products. In an acid-catalysed reaction, the epoxides isomerize mainly into ketones. Nevertherless, in some cases, dienes (e.g. 52 ) or hydroxy-γ-lactones of (13R*, 14S*)-configuration (e.g. 50 ) resulting from the opening of the epoxide ring with retention of configuration were obtained.     

PFGSE-NMR study of the self-diffusion of sucrose fatty acid monoesters in water

The micellization of pure monosubstituted sucrose fatty acid esters in water, namely sucrose octanoate, sucrose decanoate, sucrose laurate, sucrose dodec-5-cis-enoate, sucrose myristate, and sucrose palmitate, has been investigated by means of two NMR methods, pulsed field gradient spin-echo NMR (PFGSE-NMR), giving access to the self-diffusion coefficients of free molecules and micelles in solution, and the ERETIC method (electronic reference to access in vivo concentrations) for the measurement of concentrations by external calibration of a synthetic NMR signal. The early micellar regions and, when possible, the premicellar regions were investigated. By this method, we obtained the hydrodynamic radii of micelles, displaying a linear progression in relation to the chain length and an accurate determination of critical micellar concentration (CMC) for each sucrose ester. The effect of the regiochemistry of fatty chain grafting has been investigated, showing special behavior for 1'-O-sucrose palmitate.     

19F NMR chemical shifts of n-F-alkyl compounds

The examination of ¹⁹F chemical shifts for ca. 650 F-alkylated compounds of general formula CF₃(CF₂)_nCF₂X led to the following conclusions: the CF₂ groups α to X are very sensitive to the nature of X, and are spread over a range of 85 ppm. The effect of the length of the F-alkyl chain decreases rapidly, so that δCF₂(α) can already be considered as characteristic of X for n = 1 or 2 for most practical purposes. Solvent effects (in 9 different solvents having ε = 1.8 to 52.1) were found to be rather small except for the F-alkyl iodides. A chart which indicates the domain in which the CF₂(α) resonance signal is to be expected is given for 42 different series of F-alkylated compounds; it is expected to provide the synthetic chemist with a useful tool for the identification and characterization of such compounds.     

Synthesis of 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones and 4-(3H)quinazolinones from anthranilic acids and their derivatives by the use of triphenyl phosphite and pyridine

A series of 2-substituted 4H-3,1-benzoxazinones and 2,3-disubstituted 4-(3H)quinazolinones have been synthesized in mild conditions by the use of triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as cyclising medium. Benzox-azinones are produced either by ring closure of 2-(acylamino)benzoic acids or in the reaction of benzoic acid with anthranilic acids. In the presence of aniline, the reaction leads to quinazolinones.     

On the mechanism of conformational interconversion in cyclohexene derivatives

The free energy barriers to ring inversion for 3,3-dimethylcyclohexene, 4,4-dimethylcyclohexene and 3,3,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexene were determined by low temperature PMR studies. The results were interpreted in terms of a mechanism whereby the boat conformation is of highest energy on the energy profile for conformational interconversion. The very high ΔG^≠ value for 3,3,6,6-tetramethylcyclohexane (8·4 kcal/mole) is considered a reflection of the serious non bonded interaction that exists between methyl groups at the “prow” positions of the boat form.
