Synthesis of disubstituted sparteine derivatives and their diperchlorate salts was performed. Their IR and NMR spectra were analysed to determine the structure of these compounds, as well as the substituent and the protonation effects. It was shown that both unsaturated (2,17β-dimethyl-2,3-didehydrosparteine (12), 17β-isopropyl-2-methyl-2,3-didehydrosparteine (13)) and saturated (2,17β-dimethylsparteine (14), 17β-isopropyl-2-methylsparteine (15)) newly obtained sparteine derivatives have the same configurational-conformational system: trans A/B chair/chair, trans C/D boat/chair. The methyl and the isopropyl (both equatorial) groups at C-17 appear the elements stabilizing the boat-chair system of the C/D rings, which does not change either on the introduction of the second substituent to the opposite quinolizidine system (the A/B rings) or on protonation. The protonation of the free bases obtained gives only disalts. The atoms undergoing the protonation are either C-3 and N-16 in 12 and 13 or both nitrogen atoms (N-1 and N-16) in 14 and 15. The methyl group introduced on the carbon atom C-2 takes equatorial position, as in 2-methylsparteine (2).

It is shown by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy that the labelled C2 fragment of [2,3-13C2]pyruvic acid is transferred intact into the C-methyl group and the adjacent carbon atom of the Ephedra alkaloids, norephedrine, ephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, and pseudoephedrine, in growing plants of Ephedragerardiana. This finding serves to identify pyruvate as the elusive precursor of the aliphatic C2 terminus of the skeleton of the alkaloids. In earlier experiments with C-labelled substrates, label from [3-14C]pyruvic acid was incorporated mainly, but not exclusively, into the C-methyl group of ephedrine, and label from [2-14C]pyruvate was incorporated similarly into the carbon atom adjacent to the C-methyl group. A C6–C1 unit related to benzaldehyde or benzoic acid has long been known to generate the benzylic fragment of the carbon skeleton of the Ephedra alkaloids. It is likely that the carbon skeleton of ephedrine is generated from pyruvate and either benzaldehyde or benzoic acid, by a reaction analogous to the formation of acetoin or diacetyl from pyruvate and acetaldehyde or acetic acid, respectively. Keywords: biosynthesis of ephedrine, Ephedra alkaloids, 13C NMR spectra, ephedrine, biosynthesis of pyruvic acid, incorporation into ephedrine13C NMR spectra.

A conformational study of 1-X-2-propanol (X = SH, SMe, SOMe, SO2Me, +SMe2) and their O-acetyl derivatives (X = SMe, SOMe, SO2Me, and +SMe2) is reported. From the relative values of the vicinal coupling constants in 1H nmr spectra it has been possible to establish the conformational preference. When a density of opposite charge is supported by heteratoms, polar factors determined a great predominance of that conformation in which the sulphur function has an anti-relationship with respect to the methyl group. In thiol and thioethers the conformational preference is not so marked.

The species R−C7H7Mo(CO)3 (R=−CH2COCH3,−CH(CH3)COCH3,−CH(CH)(CH3)2COCH3) have been synthesized by electrolysing [η7-C7H7Mo(CO)3]+, η7-C7H7Mo(CO)2Br and the dimers [C7H7Mo(CO)3]2 and (C7H7)2Mo(CO)3, respectively, in suitable ketones and HBr. 1H NMR spectra and the X-ray structure determination of (CH3−CO−CH(CH3)−C7H7)Mo(CO)3 revealed the CH3−CO−CH(CH3)-group being bonded to the cycloheptatriene ligand via the α-carbon atom of the ethyl group.

Abstract The reactions of [CpMn(CO)2(NO)]BF4 or CpFe(CO)2Cl with PPh2NHR (R = Ph, PPh2) lead to the salts [CpML(CO)PPh2NHR]X with monodentate aminophosphine ligands. In the case of R = PPh2 (= dppa) the complexes [CpML(dppa)]X with bidentate dppa are also formed. The salt [CpFe(CO)(dppa)]Cl can be deprotonated to give the neutral complex CpFe(CO){(PPh2)2N)} with the diphosphinoamide ligand, which can be N-alkylated by Mel to afford [CpFe(CO){(PPh2)2NMe}]I. The complex [CpMn(NO)(dppa)]BF4 undergoes a P-N cleavage reaction by the solvent methanol to form [CpMn(NO)(PPh2NH2)(PPh2OMe)]BF4. The non-chelated complexes [CpFe(CO)2PPh2NHR]Cl are deprotonated by DBU to give the neutral ferrioiminophosphoranes CpFe(CO)2PPh2 = NR. For R = PPh2 photolysis leads to CO-elimination and to CpFe(CO)(PPh2NPPh2). CpFe(CO)2PPh2NPPh2 can be alkylated by Mel or metallated by CpFe(CO)2Cl to form [CpFe(CO)2PPh2NPPh2Me]I or [CpFe(CO)2PPh2NPPh2(CO)2FeCp]Cl, respectively. Oxidation of CpFe(CO)2PPh2NPPh2 is possible by (SiMe3)2O2, sulfur, or selenium to lead to the neutral complexes CpFe(CO)2PPh2=NPPh2 = E (E = O, S, Se) with a heterodiene system. The IR and NMR spectra of all species as well as the X-ray structures of the complexes [CpFe(CO)dppa]Cl, [CpMn(NO)dppa]BF4 and [CpMn(NO)(PPh2NH2)(PPh2OMe)]BF4 are reported and discussed.

Reactions of N-pyridinium phenancylides with different a, β-unsaturated ketones give 2,4,6-triarylsubstituted pyridines, 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2-pyridyl) pyridines, 2-benzylidene-4,6-diphenyl pyridines and 2,4,6-triphenyl-3-bromopyridine. Ammonium acetate in acetic acid was used as cyclization agent. The structure of the products are supported by IR and NMR spectra.
