While the n.m.r. spectrum of 10,10-dimethyl-9-methylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (I) shows the geminal methyl group absorption as a sharp singlet the spectrum of the dibromo derivative, 10,10-dimethyl-9-dibromomethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (II) shows the methyl absorptions as two sharp well-separated peaks at room temperature which coalesce at 91°. 10,10-Dimethyl-9-phenylbromomethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (III), and the methyl ester (V) of IV show a broad geminal methyl spectrum at room temperature which separates to a doublet at lower temperatures and sharpens to a singlet at higher temperatures. Rate constants for the first-order processes responsible for the change in spectrum of II, III, and V have been calculated at the coalescence temperatures to be 57 (364 °K), 35 (305 °K), and 61 (300 °K) sec−1, respectively. The ΔH≠'s were used to extrapolate the rates to 305° to give values of 1, 40, and 100 sec−1, respectively. The process being studied is inferred to be the equilibrium between two boat conformations of the center ring in the dihydroanthracene system, rapid interconversion leading to identical environments for the two methyl groups. A comparison with the geometrically similar o,o′-disubstituted biphenyl racemization gives support for this explanation. A number of compounds with a proton and one substituent on the methylene carbon atom of I (substituents: bromine, chlorine, phenyl, carboxy, carbomethoxy, phenylmercapto) and also 10,10-dimethyl-9-phenylcarbomethoxymethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (XII) showed a single methyl absorption at room temperature. The methyl spectrum of the mono bromo compound VI did not broaden at temperatures down to 246 °K.

Active Methylene

A three-dimensional X-ray crystal structure analysis of the complex between trimethyl platinum and ethylacetoacetate, (CH 3 ) 3 Pt CH 3 . CO. CH. CO OC 2 H 5 , has shown that the molecule is dimeric. In a monoclinic unit cell (a = 8.83, b = 14.12, c = 9.30 Å, β = 95°, space group P2 1 / c ) there are two centrosymmetrical dimeric molecules in which each platinum atom is octahedrally co-ordinated by three methyl groups, in the cis configuration, by the two carbonyl oxygen atoms of one β -ketoester and by the central, or ‘active methylene’ carbon atom of the other β -ketoester in the dimer. The structure is thus essentially the same as that of trimethyl 4:6-dioxononyl platinum (part I) and the result shows that complex formation via a tridentate β -diketo system is preferred to co-ordination through an ester oxygen. A critical account is given of the criteria used to judge the correctness of the results.

Insight Into

ABSTRACTMelting gels are silica-based hybrid gels with the curious behavior that they are rigid at room temperature, but soften around 110°C. A typical melting gel is prepared by mixing methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES). MTES has one methyl group substituted for an ethoxy, and DMDES has two substitutions. The methyl groups do not hydrolyze, which limits the network-forming capability of the precursors. To gain insight into the molecular structure of the melting gels, differential scanning calorimetry and oscillatory rheometry studies were performed on melting gels before consolidation. According to oscillatory rheometry, at room temperature, the gels behave as viscous fluids, with a viscous modulus, G″(t,ω0) that is larger than the elastic modulus, G′(t,ω0). As the temperature is decreased, gels continue to behave as viscous fluids, with both moduli increasing with decreasing temperature. At some point, the moduli cross over, and this temperature is recorded as the glass transition temperature Tg. The Tg values obtained from both methods are in excellent agreement. The Tg decreases from -0.3oC to -56oC with an increase in the amount of di-substituted siloxane (DMDES) from 30 to 50 mole %. A decrease of the Tg follows an increase of the number of hydrolytically stable groups, meaning a decrease in the number of oxygen bridges between siloxane chains.

The bromonium ion of adamantylideneadamantane (Ad=Ad-Br+) has been used to induce the bromocyclization of a 4-pentenyl glycoside (10) and a 5-hexenyl glycoside (11) in dichloroethane. The kinetics of these processes have been studied at 25 °C in the presence of varying [Ad=Ad] and, in the case of the transfer to 10, in the presence of pentanol. The second-order rate constants for bromocyclization of these two alkenes are (1.04 ± 0.06) × 10−1 M−1 s−1 and (5.34 ± 0.2) × 10−1 M−1 s−1, respectively, and in no case does added Ad=Ad or pentanol alter the reaction rate. The kinetic behavior is interpreted in terms of cyclization occurring directly from a 1:1 complex of Ad=Ad-Br+ and 10 or 11. The chiral induction for the bromocyclization of 10 promoted by AdAd-Br+ was measured at 20% e.e., the (−)-(S)-tetrahydrofurfuryl bromide being the dominant stereoisomer. Ad=Ad molecules substituted at one of the homoallylic carbons by an axial methyl group (12), or by two methyl groups (axial and equatorial), were synthesized and the 1H NMR spectra of their bromonium ions is given. These materials are not stable for prolonged times at room temperature. A limited kinetic study of the reaction of 12-Br+ and 4-pentenol indicated that the Br+ transfer is 500 times faster than the comparable transfer from Ad=Ad-Br+ to 4-pentenol. The possibility of using these materials to induce chiral bromocyclization is discussed. Keywords: bromonium ion, halonium, transfer, chiral, adamantylideneadamantane.

The Influence of Heteroatom-substituted Methyl Groups and of Vinyl Groups (CR2=CR—) Attached to C-2 of 1,3-Dioxolanes on the Ease and Direction of Hydrogenolysis of the 1,3-Dioxolanes by AlH2Cl, AlH3, or LiAlH4

Heteroatom substituents on the methyl group of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane retard the rate of hydrogenolysis by AlH2Cl of ether solutions of the 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes. The effectiveness of the heteroatoms in decreasing the ease of hydrogenolysis is H < S < O < Br < NR2. This retardation is thought to be due to the destabilization of the transition state leading to the intermediate oxocarbonium ion, caused by the electronegativity of the heteroatom and/or coordination of some of the AlH2Cl with the heteroatom.AlH2Cl or AlH3 in diethyl ether at room temperature reduces 2-vinyl- or 2-[alkyl (or aryl) substituted vinyl]-1,3-dioxolanes to only the β,γ-unsaturated alkyl β-hydroxyethyl ether, the product expected from hydride ion addition to C-2 of the 1,3-dioxolane. The ease of hydrogenolysis increases with increasing alkyl (or aryl) substitution on the 2-vinyl group.LiAlH4 in diethyl ether at room temperature, or in di-n-propyl ether or 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) at room temperature or reflux temperature, reduces 2-vinyl-l,3-dioxolane only to α-propenyl β-hydroxyethyl ether. This product is the result of hydride addition to the β-carbon of the vinyl group accompanied by ring opening and double bond migration. Alkyl substituents attached to the vinyl group of 2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane markedly retard the rate of hydrogenolysis by LiAlH4 in the dialkyl ethers at room temperature, but at the reflux temperature (90°) of di-n-propyl ether the 2-alkylated vinyl-1,3-dioxolanes are hydrogenolyzed, but only to the β,γ-unsaturated alkyl β-hydroxyethyl ether. In refluxing DME (80°) the 2-alkylated vinyl-1,3-dioxolanes give primarily, if not exclusively, the α,β-unsaturated alkyl β-hydroxyethyl ether. A rationale is suggested to account for these results.

This work reports density functional and composite model chemistry calculations performed on the reactions of toluene with the hydroxyl radical. Both experimentally observed H-abstraction from the methyl group and possible additions to the phenyl ring were investigated. Reaction enthalpies and heights of the barriers suggest that H-abstraction is more favorable than ●OH addition to the ring. The calculated reaction rates at room temperature and the radical-intermediate product fractions support this view. This is somehow contradictory with the fact that, under most experimental conditions, cresols are observed in a larger concentration than benzaldehyde. Since the accepted mechanism for benzaldehyde formation involves H-abstraction, a contradiction arises that begs for an explanation. In this first part of our work we give the evidences that support the preference of hydrogen abstraction over ●OH addition and suggest an alternative mechanism which shows that cresols can actually arise also from the former reaction and not only from the latter.

ABSTRACT Pediocin PA-1 is a food grade antimicrobial peptide that has been used as a food preservative. Upon storage at 4°C or room temperature, pediocin PA-1 looses activity, and there is a concomitant 16-Da increase in the molecular mass. It is shown that the loss of activity follows first-order kinetics and that the instability can be prevented by replacing the single methionine residue (Met31) in pediocin PA-1. Replacing Met by Ala, Ile, or Leu protected the peptide from oxidation and had only minor effects on bacteriocin activity (for most indicator strains 100% activity was maintained). Replacement of Met by Asp was highly deleterious for bacteriocin activity.

Net charges and valence AO's for ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine were calculated using extended basis sets. Superposition effects, evaluated by replacing Pople's standard 6-31G* basis by an extended form in which the basis of the ammonia H atoms and of the methyl groups of trimethylamine are retained in the treatment of each molecule, indicate that the quality of the treatment of amine nitrogen atoms is strongly dependent on the number of methyl groups. A new, augmented basis is proposed for the hydrogens, which appears to be reasonably well balanced: comparison with familiar (e.g., 6-31G*) calculations illustrates in what manner the treatment of nitrogen is worsened when even just one methyl group is replaced by hydrogen unless the impoverishment of the basis is suitably taken care of.

The rates of addition and the product compositions have been determined for the addition of 4-chlorobenzenesulfenyl chloride to a series of seven side chain methyl substituted styrenes in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane at 25°. Unlike the addition to the corresponding series of methylated ethylenes, the effect of the methyl groups is not cumulative. The effect of the methyl groups depends upon whether or not the β-methyl group is cis to the phenyl. When it is cis, the rate of addition is decreased compared to styrene and substitution of additional methyl groups has only a small effect on the rate of addition. In compounds lacking a cis-β-methyl group the rate of addition more closely resembles that for addition to the methylated ethylenes. Steric hindrance between the cis-methyl and phenyl groups is believed to be the cause of this difference in behavior between the ethylene and styrene series.
