Oxidative coupling of deoxypodorhizon (4) with thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid may be controlled to give either deoxyisopodophyllotoxin (14) or isostegane (16). These results and those with related non- phenolic substances indicate that the aromatic substituents of the parent diarylbutane play an important role in determining the outcome of oxidative coupling.

Treatment of the 6′(E)-tosylvinyl homonucleoside 1a with Bu3SnH/AIBN/toluene/Δ gave separable mixtures of 6′-vinylstannanes 2a(E/Z) in high yields. Stereospecific halodestannylations with N-iodosuccinimide, bromine, and N-bromosuccinimide proceeded smoothly to give the 6′(E or Z)-iodo(and bromo) vinyl compounds with retention of configuration. Chlorine or iodobenzene dichloride effected moderately stereoselective chlorodestannylation. Treatment of 2a with NH4F/MeOH/Δ resulted in carbon–tin bond cleavage to give the free vinyl derivative 4a. Aqueous trifluoroacetic acid effected concomitant protiodestannylation and deprotection of 2a to give 4b. Treatment of 2a(E) with lead tetraacetate/acetonitrile and deprotection afforded acetylenic derivative 3b.

Waste sulphite pulp liquor (obtained in the manufacture of a commercial sulphite pulp from soft woods, principally spruce and balsam) on treatment with aqueous alkali gave vanillin, acetovanillone, phenolic substances, and a tarry resinous product. The yield of acetovanillone is about 5.5% of that of the vanillin formed, or about 0.3% calculated on the basis of the lignin present.

The oxidative cross-coupling of phenols (3 equiv) to various substituted phenyl N,N-diethylcarbamates was explored with a variety of substrates. Pd(OAc)2 was employed as the catalyst (20 mol%) and K2S2O8 as the stoichiometric oxidant in trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent (50 °C, 2 h). Carbamates without or with a substituent on the phenyl ring (Me, Ph, Cl, OMe) underwent the reaction unless the phenyl substituent was too strongly electron withdrawing (CN). Cross-coupling occurred exclusively in the ortho position relative to the carbamate group. The regioselectivity at the phenol (ortho or para to hydroxy) was mainly determined by steric factors. Yields up to 60–70% were achieved for specific carbamate/phenol combinations.

Different arylgold(i), one alkynylgold(i), and one vinylgold(i) triphenylphosphane complexes were subjected to electrophilic halogenation reagents. With N-chlorosuccinimid, N-bromosuccinimid, and N-iodosuccinimid as well as the Barluenga reagent, selectively halogenated compounds were obtained. Trifluoroacetic acid, as a source of protons, leads to a clean protodeauration. With N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide or Selectfluor, exclusively a homocoupling was observed. For the precursor of the vinylgold(i) complex, a similar oxidative coupling could be induced by gold(iii) chloride. Reactions with silicon or tin electrophiles failed.

Oxidative coupling of dimethylmatairesinol with thallium tristrifluoroacetate (prepared in situ from thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid) and boron trifluoride etherate gives a high yield of an isostegane which has been isomerized thermally to a stegane. Stereochemical assignments have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.

Protonation of N,N-dimethylnitrosoamine has been investigated by dissolving the nitrosoamine in different acids and recording the proton magnetic resonance spectra of these solutions. Concentrated sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid monohydrate, perchloric acid (72%), trifluoroacetic acid, and fluorosulfuric acid have been used in this study. Only in fluorosulfuric acid near 0 °C and lower was a new signal observed for the protonated nitrosoamine molecule. Integration of the peaks has shown that only one proton is captured by the nitrosoamine. The following structure is suggested for the protonated nitrosoamine.[Formula: see text]The n.m.r. spectra of fluorosulfuric acid solutions of N,N-diethylnitrosoamine and N-nitrosopiperidine also show separate signals for the captured proton.The n.m.r. spectrum of an equimolar solution of N,N-dimethylnitrosoamine, N,N-dimethylformamide, and trifluoroacetic acid in 2-nitropropane indicates that N,N-dimethylnitrosoamine is a weaker base.
