Hydride Reduction

Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3α,12α -diacetoxypregnan-20-one (Ia) gives as the major product pregnane-3α,12α,20β-triol (III), whereas the reduction of the corresponding dihydroxypregnanone I affords mainly the epimeric 3α,12α,20α-triol II. Triol III was transformed to 12β-methyl-12α-hydroxyprogesterone (VIII).

Hydride Reduction

Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of alkyl substituted isoxazoles gave a variety of products. The major constituent was identified (i.r., n.m.r., m.s.) as hydroxyethylaziridine. Specifically, reduction of 3,4,5-trimethylisoxazole gave as the major product 2,3-dimethyl-3-β-hydroxyethylaziridine. Two of the more prominent minor products were identified as 2,3-dimethyl-3-ethylaziridine and 4-amino-3-methyl-2-pentanol. The corresponding products were identified when 3,5-dimethylisoxazole was reduced with LAH.

Abstract Cyclohexene reacts with sulfur at 140° in the presence of zinc dimethyldithio-carbamate, tetramethylthiuram monosulfide, or tetramethylthiuram disulfide, to produce 2-cyclohexene-1-thiol as the major product after lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the polysulfide compounds. Secondary products are cis- and trans-1, 2-eyclohexanedithiol and cyclohexanethiol. Zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate is postulated to promote the reaction via an ionic mechanism as it causes more trans than cis-1, 2-cyclohexanedithiol to be formed. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide and disulfide are postulated to promote the reaction via a free radical mechanism as they cause more cis- than trans-1, 2-cyclohexanedithiol to be formed.

Radical Substitution

The photolysis of sulfur monochloride with a series of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons yielded alkyl chlorides, di- and polysulfides, hydrogen chloride, and elemental sulfur. The free radical substitution reactions leading to the production of alkyl chloride and the di- and polysulfides were shown to proceed via a chlorine atom abstraction reaction. The major products, the di- and polysulfides could be transformed quantitatively, by lithium aluminum hydride reduction into their corresponding mercaptans. The reaction describes a simple free radical route to the synthesis of a variety of alkyl mercaptans.

Irradiation of 2-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (2-cyanonorbornene, 4) in hexane, with the full arc of a mercury vapour lamp, gives the rearrangement products 1-cyanobicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-ene 5 and 7-cyanotricyclo[4.1.0.03.7]heptane 6 in the ratio 20:1. These products were separated by preparative vpc. The structure of the major product 5 was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Reduction of 5 with lithium aluminum hydride gave the corresponding primary amine, which was converted to the p-bromobenzenesulfonamide 9, mp 150–151 °C, which gave single crystals from ethanol–water. The crystal and molecular structures are described. The minor product 6 was hydrogenated to give 7-cyanobicyclo[2.2. 1]heptane. Formation of 5 and 6 may involve concerted σ2s + π2s and σ2a + π2a processes respectively, which are photochemically allowed.

Abstract An efficient preparation was developed for 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene and the corresponding azoxy and hydrazo derivatives, based on the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3,4-dichIoronitrobenzene. Batches were analyzed for purity by using a reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method. All 3 compounds can be synthesized in gram quantities with 97–99% purity. Detailed mass, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses are presented.
