The mass spectra of a number of spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, several of their derivatives, and some model compounds are recorded and discussed. Fragmentation mechanisms are proposed for the formation of the major ions in the spectra of compounds containing one and two oxygen functions in the five-membered ring. The spectra of compounds containing a carbonyl group differ markedly from those having a hydroxyl group in the five-membered ring. Several model compounds were synthesized and characterized and their spectra compared with those of the alkaloids.

Summary The α-hydroxyl group in lignin model compounds 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,3-propanediol (1) and 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (3), and the α-carbonyl group in 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethan-1-one (5) are removed by treatment of the model compounds with trifluoroacetic acid (CF3CO OH) and triethylsilane (Et3sih) in methylene chloride. The reaction is highly chemoselective and it tolerates the lignin γ-hydroxyl group, phenol and β-O-4-aryl ether linkage. The α-hydroxyl group in 1 has also been removed with triethylsilane in aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (CF3CO OH : H2o = 75 : 25). The combination of trifluoroacetic acid and sodium borohydride, or sodium triacetoxyborohydride, is also effective in removing the α-carbonyl group in 5 and the α-hydroxyl group in lignin model compound 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethanol (7) and in milled wood lignin. The selective removal of the lignin α-hydroxyl and α-carbonyl groups may potentially be used, in conjunction with the protection of the lignin phenol, to inhibit the light and/or heat-induced yellowing of mechanical pulps.

<div>Here, we newly propose the structure of protoaculeine B, an N-terminal moiety of the marine peptide toxin aculeine B, as possessing the cis-disubstituted tetrahydro-beta-carboline framework. We prepared two truncated model compounds that lack long-chain polyamine by one-step Pictet-Spengler reaction of tryptophan, and compared the NMR and mass spectra and chemical reactivity with those of natural protoaculeine B. The synthetic models reproduced the profiles of the natural product well, which was conclusive for the structural revision.</div>

Partial EI-mass spectra of 3β-hydroxy- and 3β-acetoxy-5α-cholestanes substituted in positions 5α-, 6β- or 5α,6β- with a hydroxyl group or halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine) are presented. The molecular ions of 5α,6β-disubstituted derivatives of 3β-hydroxy-5α-cholestane (or of its 3-acetate) are considerably more stable than the corresponding monosubstituted derivatives if at least one of the pair of the vicinal substituents is chlorine or fluorine. This increase in stability, most striking in 5α- and 6β-fluoro compounds, is explained by the inductive effect.

Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer derived from lignocellulosic biomass. Providing a comprehensive structural analysis of lignin is the primary motivation for the quantification of various functional groups, with a view to valorizing lignin in a wide range of applications. This study investigated the lignin fluorobenzylation reaction and performed a subsequent 19F-NMR analysis to quantify hydroxyl groups, based on a work developed two decades ago by Barrelle et al. The objectives were to check the assignments proposed in this previous study and to examine the reactivity of various types of lignin hydroxyls with the derivatization agent. Selected lignin model compounds containing phenolic and aliphatic hydroxyls were subjected to the fluorobenzylation reaction, and the obtained reaction medium was analyzed by 13C and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The model compound results showed that phenolic hydroxyls were totally derivatized, whereas aliphatic hydroxyls underwent minimal conversion. They also confirmed that 19F NMR chemical shifts from −115 ppm to −117.3 ppm corresponded to phenolic groups. Then, a 19F NMR analysis was successfully applied to Organosolv commercial lignin after fluorobenzylation in order to quantify its phenolic group content; the values were found to be in the range of the reported values using other analytical techniques after lignin acetylation.

Steric hindrance prevented formation of tetra-t-butylpyrazine either when pivaloin was heated with ammonium acetate or when pivalil monooxime was reduced with zinc and alkali. Diminution of the steric hindrance of the t-butyl groups by masking them by incorporation into a seven-membered ring containing sulphur was of no avail. 2,5-Di-t- butylpyrazine resulted from the analogous reduction of t-butyl-glyoxal dioxime and could be converted into its N-oxide and N,N?-dioxide. t- Butyl-lithium reacted with the pyrazine and the mono-N-oxide to give a mixture of products including 2,3,5-tri-t-butylpyrazine whose spectroscopic properties suggested a buckling of the pyrazine ring. Benzonitrile and diphenylacetylene reacted independently in the presence of iron pentacarbonyl and gave, inter alia, 2,4,6-triphenyl- 1,3,5-triazine and hexaphenylbenzene respectively. ��� The most prominent features of the low resolution mass spectra of these pyrazines and some of their precursors are discussed and rationalized.

Eight-membered rings of the composition [SO2(NR)2PR′]2 3a-d with R = CH3, C2H5, and R′ = CH3, C6H5, were prepared from substituted sulfamides and dichlorophosphanes in the presence of a tertiary amine. These molecules were characterized on the basis of 1H and 31P NMR investigations and of mass spectra. 3 a reacts with phosphorus pentachloride to yield the spirocyclic derivative 4 with the phosphorus atom in the center of two four-membered rings. Methyliodide reacts with 3 a and 3 b under opening of the eight- membered ring and formation of phosphonium salts. The structure of 3 b is discussed in detail. 8b crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna 21 with a = 12.60(0), b = 13.27(1), c = 12.62(4) Å.

AbstractThe 1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinanes 1a-d react with elemental sodium with formation of the 1,3-diaza-2,4-diboretidines 2a-d. By use of more sodium in case of 1 d or 3,5-bis(diethylamino)- 2-cyclohexyl-6-trimethylsilyldiborinane, the 1,3-thiaza-2,4-diboretidines 3 were formed. 3.5-Dimethyl-2,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinane gives the borazine 4, The reaction of di-t-butyl-sulfurdiimide with 2,6-di-t-butyl-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-dithia-2,6-diaza-3,5-diborinane leads by ring contraction to the four-membered ring system 5. 1H, 11B, 13C NMR and mass spectra are reported and discussed.
