Etude de la reactivite des coumarines—I : Regioselectivete des reactifs de grignard engages avec la coumarine

The various products obtained by the action of organomagnesium, compounds on coumarin result from 1.2-1.2 di-addition (phenolic alcohols) or 1.2–1.4 di-addition (ketophenols) or 1.4 mono-addition (dihydrobenzopyrones). The results show the importance of the nature of the halogen component of the Grignard reagent. A theoretical model allows regioselectivity of coumarine in relation to the group R and the halogene X to be evaluated.     

Magydardiendiol,diterpenoid with a new skeleton from magydaris panacifolia (umbelliferae).

Three new diterpenoids with a substituted α-cyclogeraniol skeleton have been isolated from the umbelliferae $\text{Magydaris panacifolia}$ (Vahl) Lange, for which the names of magydar-2,13-dien-11,17-diol, $\text{1}$, magydar-2,10 (20), 13-trien-17-ol, $\text{2}$, and magydar-2,10(20), 13-trien-17-yl acetate, $\text{3}$, are proposed. The structures of these substances have been deduced from spectroscopic and chemical data.     

Surface plasmon resonance study of the interaction of a beta-cyclodextrin polymer and hydrophobically modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique is used to follow, both in real time and in situ, the association between a physically adsorbed polymer of beta-cyclodextrin (pbetaCD) and different hydrophobically modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) copolymers containing either adamantyl or dodecyl groups. This association is due to the complex formation between the hydrophobic groups and the betaCD cavities. Therefore, the adsorbed amount of PNIPAM onto the pbetaCD layer depends on the substituent and on its substitution level. The association and dissociation rate constants are evaluated from the kinetics of PNIPAM adsorption. An estimation of the association constants leads to values higher than 10(4) M(-1), reflecting the strong interaction between these polymers.     

Synthese, structure cristalline et spectres infrarouges de l''acide β-alanyl amino methyl phosphonique

β-Alanyl aminomethylphosphonic acid (β-ala AMPh) has been studied in the solid state by X-ray diffraction and vibration spectrometry. It crystallizes (space group P1&;#x0304; with Z = 4) as a zwitterion with, in the asymétrie unit, two independent molecules the conformations of which are quite different. The hydrogen bonding network is very complicated. Because the infrared spectra are very complicated, only a partial correlation of the vibrations of ammonium, amide and phosphonic groups is proposed.     

Cyclization of o-nitrosoacylbenzenes to anthranils

5-Bromo- and 5-methoxy-3-ethylanthranils, respectively, were obtained by cyclization of o-nitrosopropiophenone under the influence of hydrogen bromide in benzene and hydrogen chloride in methanol. In these reactions, the starting nitroso ketone undergoes redox transformations that also proceed readily in an inert solvent in the absence of any cyclizing reagents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 886–890, July. 1976.     

Polymérisation anionique amorcée par les composés lamellaires du graphite et du lithium

In the present work, we use the binary insertion compound LiC₁₂ to polymerize styrene, methyl methacrylate, butadiene, isoprene, and to copolymerize isoprene and styrene in various hydrocarbon solvents (aromatics and aliphatic) and etheral solvents. We show that the styrene polymerization in aromatic solvents gives better yields than in the etheral solvents, the polymer being atactic. Methyl methacrylate does not polymerize in toluene but does so completely in DME. More generally, the yields of polymerization are better with KC₃₇ than with LiC₁₂ because of the different capacities of the monomer to get into the carbon layers. The polymerization of dienes with LiC₁₂ shows that the microstructures of the polymer obtained in π-or n-donor solvents are similar to the ones obtained by homogenous polymerization with Li cation in such solvents. However, for isoprene in cyclohexane, the results are different. The isoprene styrene copolymers are statistical ones and the mean length of styrene blocks is less than 5. The monomer interaction with the insertion compound and the growing chain geometry between the carbon layers are the facts which control either the stereospecificity of the polymerization or the selectivity of the copolymerization.
