Pithecolobine, C22H46N4O2, has a lactam group, one primary and two secondary amino groups, and a hydroxyl group. Lithium aluminum hydride converts it into a monocyclic saturated compound, desoxypithecolobine, C22H48N4. Hofmann degradation of this compound gives tetramethylputrescine, trimethyl amine, a doubly unsaturated base C16H31N with a terminal methylene group, and a base C16H34N2. Heating with selenium yields a hydrocarbon, C12;H24–26, with a sequence of six or more CH2 groups. A crystalline oxygen-free compound with two nitrogens (m.p.94 °C.) is also obtained, the ultraviolet spectrum of which is almost identical with aminopyridine.

The cross metathesis of 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene (1) with methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile was investigated as an entry to the synthesis of polyfunctional compounds. The resulting cross metathesis products were hydrogenated in a tandem fashion employing the residual ruthenium from the metathesis step as the hydrogenation catalyst. Interestingly, the epoxide ring remained unreactive toward this hydrogenation method. The saturated compound resulting from the cross metathesis of 1 with methyl acrylate was transformed by means of nucleophilic ring-opening of the epoxide to furnish a diol, an alkoxy alcohol and an amino alcohol in high yields.


It has been shown in the first part of this series that hydrogenation in the liquid state at a surface of metallic nickel is to be considered as effected by the temporary union of the unsaturated organic compound and of hydrogen with the nickel, followed by a breakdown of this intermediate system into nickel and the saturated compound. This explanation is a development of the “intermediate compound” theory of catalysis first put forward by De la Rive and differs from the older view mainly in that it postulates an intermediate system of a very loose unstable type, similar to that produced between the natural enzymes, water (or oxygen), and the compounds attacked by the latter, during enzymic catalysis.

Treatment of isophorone (8) with sodium amide and 1,2-dibromomethane gives 6,6-dimethyl-8-methylenespiro[2.5]octan-4-one (9) and 6,6,8-trimethylspiro[2.5]oct-7-en-4-one (10); similar treatment of 3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (5) gives analogous spiro compounds 6 and 7 together with 8-methylenedispiro[2.1.2.3]decan-4-one (11) and 8-methyldispiro[2.1.2.3]dec-8-en-4-one (12). The spiro ketones 6, 7, 9, and 10 undergo homoconjugate nucleophilic addition on being heated in morpholine with cleavage of the cyclopropane rings to give 2-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]cyclohex-2-en-1-ones. The rates of reaction are much greater for the exo methylene compounds 6 and 9 than for their endo isomers 7 and 10, but the rate of reaction of 10 is only slightly greater than that of the corresponding saturated compound, 6,6,8-trimethylspiro[2.5]octan-4-one (15). A corresponding rate differential between 9 and 10 is observed in their reactions with isophorone (8) and sodium hydride to give 2,2′-(ethanediyl)bis[3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one] (18). The acceleration in the cases of 6 and 9 relative to that of 15 is attributed to spiroactivation by both the carbonyl and exocyclic ethylenic groups; the much smaller effect of the endocyclic ethylenic groups in the cases of 7 and 10 is ascribed to torsional strain in the transition states for ring opening. The spiro ketones 6, 7, 9, and 10 also undergo acid-catalyzed cyclopropane ring cleavage in ethanol, giving 2-(2-ethoxyethyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-ones. Again the exo methylene compounds 6 and 9 react much more rapidly than their endo isomers 7 and 10; this is considered to be due to factors analogous to those operative in the nucleophilic addition reactions and/or the more rapid protonation of the exo methylene compounds.

Abstract Natural rubber chlorinated to the maximum degree is a homogeneous product in chemical composition and likewise in chemical structure. It is a chemically saturated compound, with a chain structure having the cyclohexane group, C10HxCl7, as the base unit. Such a structure is conceivable only if x has a value of 11, which cannot be determined precisely by any of the methods of organic analysis.

Hydroxymethylation of 14,15-dinorlabd-8(17)-en-13-one (3) has led to the synthesis of a new series of intramolecular acetals related to known perfumery compounds. A novel oxidation of a saturated compound with selenium dioxide/hydrogen peroxide is reported.

[2,2](3,3')Biphenylo(3,6)phenanthrenophane-1,15-diene (6) has been synthesized by a ring-contraction procedure from the dithiacyclophane (10). The corresponding saturated compound (5) was prepared by pyrolysis of the sulfone (12). The stereochemistry of both (5) and (6) in solution has been determined to be syn from spectral evidence and neither compound shows any evidence of conformational ring-flipping or extensive mobility. Several attempts to convert the diene (6) into hepta[8]circulene are recorded. The factors affecting the photochemical ring-closures of cyclophanedienes are discussed.
