Reactions between adamantane-1-carbonyl chloride and several Grignard reagents as well as interactions with solvents have been examined. Some new and unexpected adamantane derivatives were isolated, fully characterized and their biological activity determined. In particular, an unexpected isochromanone 16 was formed in an SEAr process, in which a stable hydrocarbon was the leaving group.

Abstract Despite attempts to inhibit or avoid the formation of fouling deposits (polymeric amorphous dithiazine or apDTZ for short) from the use of MEA triazine, this remains a major operational problem and limits the use of this most popular and ubiquitous hydrogen sulphide (H2S) scavenger. This paper (a) reviews and summarizes previous work, (b) provides fresh insights into the reaction product and mechanism of formation, (c) proposes an effective method of removal, and (d) proposes some mechanisms of apDTZ digestion. The mechanism of apDTZ formation is discussed and reasoning is provided from a variety of perspectives as to the mechanism of MEA-triazine reaction with H2S. These include basicity and nucleophilic substitution considerations, steric properties and theoretical calculations for electron density. Novel procedures to chemically react with and destroy this solid fouling are presented with an in-depth study and experimental verification of the underlying chemistry of this digestion process. A review of agents to chemically destroy apDTZ is undertaken and a very effective solution has been found in peroxyacetic acid, which is much more powerful and effective than previously suggested peroxides. The structure of amorphous polymeric dithiazine is emphasized and the reason why this fouling cannot be 1,3,5-trithiane is stressed. This work therefore overcomes a current industry misconception by providing insight on two major paradoxes in the reaction pathway; namely i) why the thiadiazine reaction product from tris hydroxyethyl triazine (MEA triazine) is never observed and ii) why does the dithiazine in all cases never progress to the trithiane (3rd sulphur molecule substitution)? The latter issue is probably the biggest misconception in the industry and literature regarding triazine and H2S reactions. Many reasons for this are put forward and the common misconception of "overspent" triazine is refuted. A very effective chemical reaction that results in soluble by-products, counteracting the problems produced by this intractable polymer is found and their composition is proposed and experimentally verified.

Epimerization and solvolysis of the benzylic 4-hydroxyl group is shown to be a general property of flavan-3,4-diols, and the diols give 4- ethoxyflavan-3-ols with ethanolic hydrochloric acid (1%). The diols are first converted into epimeric mixtures of 3,4-cis- and 3,4-trans-diols and in aqueous media cis-cis-flavan-3,4-diols yield mainly 2,3-cis-3,4- trans-diols. These 2,3-cis-3,4-diols undergo solvolysis to yield 2,3- cis-3,4-trans-4-ethoxyflavan-3-ols in which the 3,4-trans- stereochemistry is controlled by participation of the neighbouring 3ax- hydroxyl group. 2,3-trans-Flavan-3,4-diols give mixtures of trans- trans-diols and 2,3-trans-3,4-cis-diols and solvolysis first yields 2.3-trans-3,4-cis-4-ethoxyflavan-3-ols and then mixtures of the 3,4- cis- and 3,4-trans-ethers; the final proportion of these two ethers is controlled by thermodynamic factors. Solvolysis under mild conditions gives minor products considered to be 3-oxoflavans (or their enols) because of their immediate conversion into antho-cyanidins by cold acids in the presence of air, and from the formation of an enol-ether on prolonged solvolysis under more vigorous conditions. The relevance of these observations to the mechanism of formation of anthocyanidins from flavan-3,4-diols is discussed. Other by-products of solvolysis reactions include a dimeric cyclic ether (dioxan derivative) of 2,3- trans-3,4-cis-7,8,4?-trimethoxyflavan-3,4-diol. The structure and stereochemistry of solvolysis products were established by N.M.R. data; the 4-ethoxyl group in the ethers generally gave rise to an ABX3 multiplet.

Several new β-hydroxyketones having the formula CH3R′C(OH)CH2COCH3 have been prepared by the action of Grignard reagents on 2,4-pentanedione. With benzyl-, o-xylyl-, p-xylyl-, 3,4-dimethylbenzyl-, 2,5-dimethylbenzyl-, 3,5-dimethylbenzyl-, and α-naphthylmethyl-magnesium chlorides, 60 to 75% yields of the β-hydroxyketones were obtained. Phenyl-, p-tolyl-, and p-trifluoromethylphenyl-magnesium bromide and 2,4-dimethylbenzylmagnesium chloride gave lower yields, whereas with α-naphthylmagnesium bromide no β-hydroxyketone was formed. The β-hydroxyketones were separated from non-ketonic by-products by means of Girard's reagent T or P. Solid derivatives of the β-hydroxyketones could not be prepared.
