Nitration of the tetramethylbenzenes in acetic anhydride at temperatures below –50 °C gives the l-acetoxy-4-nitro and 5-acetoxy-2-nitro adducts from the 1,2,3,4 isomer, the 5-acetoxy-2-nitro adduct from the 1,2,3,5 isomer, and the l-acetoxy-4-nitro adduct from the 1,2,4,5 isomer as well as the expected nitro derivatives. Corresponding nitritonitro adducts are also formed as well as side-chain (benzylic) derivatives: nitrates and phenylnitromethanes. Rearomatization of the tertiary acetate adducts leads to aryl acetates, benzylic derivatives, or nitroarenes, depending upon the acidity of the solvent. In the benzylic derivatives the methyl group substituted is that ipso to the acetate in the precursor adduct, that para to the most activated ipso position of the arene.

Product Distributions

Product distributions resulting from nitration of polymethylbenzenes in nitric acid-acetic anhydride mixtures have been determined by gas chromatography. Nitration of a methyl group occurs in all the substrates studied; such nitration occurs only at a methyl group para to the methyl most activated to ipso nitration. These results support the view that side chain nitration occurs through the diene intermediates which lead to ring acetoxylation.

Lignin Model

AbstractMonomeric C6-C2-type lignin model compounds with a p-hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), syringyl (S), or p-ethylphenyl (E) nucleus (1-phenylethanol derivatives) were individually oxidized by MnO2 at a pH of 1.5 and room temperature. The results were compared with those of the corresponding C6-C1-type benzyl alcohol derivatives obtained in our recent report to examine the effect of the presence of the β-methyl group on the oxidation. The presence decelerated the oxidation regardless of the type of aromatic nucleus, although it did not change the order of the oxidation rates: G > S >> H > E. This deceleration results from the steric factor of the β-methyl group in the C6-C2-type compounds. The MnO2 oxidations of the corresponding C6-C2-type compounds deuterated at their α-(benzyl)positions showed that the magnitudes of the kinetic isotope effects are smaller than those observed in the oxidations of the corresponding C6-C1-type compounds, regardless of the type of aromatic nucleus. These smaller magnitudes suggest that the presence of the β-methyl group shifts the initial oxidation mode of MnO2 from direct oxidation of the benzyl position to one-electron oxidation of the aromatic nucleus. Only the S-type compounds afforded products via degradation of the aromatic nuclei.

(1 S) - (+)-Fenchone is sulfonated by SO3 or H2SO4/acetic anhydride in the bridgehead methyl group. This could be confirmed by NMR techniques (INADEQUATE). The fenchonesulfonic acid obtained is converted (SOCl2/NH3) to the cyclic fenchonesulfonimide, which can be oxidized to the corresponding oxaziridine, in close analogy to 10-camphorsulfonimide. Improved procedures for this reaction sequences are given. During the treatment of the sulfonic acid with thionyl chloride, a byproduct with a rearranged bicyclic skeleton is observed whose structure has been determined by ozonolytic degradation and NMR techniques. A possible mechanism for this rearrangement is suggested, based on MNDO calculations of the intermediate carbocations. The fenchonesulfonyloxaziridine oxidizes sulfides to chiral sulfoxides with appreciable enantiomeric excess, but very low reaction rate. A comparison with camphor-derived oxaziridines having similar steric requirements is made.

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.

Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate

An efficient route to acylated acyclic nucleosides containing a branched hemiaminal ether moiety is reported via three-component alkylation of N-heterocycle (purine nucleobase) with acetal (cyclic or acyclic, variously branched) and anhydride (preferentially acetic anhydride). The procedure employs cheap and easily available acetals, acetic anhydride, and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf). The multi-component reaction is carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature for 15 min and provides moderate to high yields (up to 88%) of diverse acyclonucleosides branched at the aliphatic side chain. The procedure exhibits a broad substrate scope of N-heterocycles and acetals, and, in the case of purine derivatives, also excellent regioselectivity, giving almost exclusively N-9 isomers.

ABSTRACT The tissue-disposition and fate of [14C]streptozotocin, labelled in the methyl-group of the N-nitrosomethylurea side-chain, have been studied in mice. Whole-body autoradiography, quantified by densitometric measurements, showed that the pancreatic islets had a high capacity to accumulate radioactivity after the injection of [14C]streptozotocin. Microautoradiography of the pancreas showed that centrally located cells were labelled while peripherally located cells contained a low labelling, indicating a selective labelling of the β-cells. A high radioactivity was present in the liver and the cortex of the kidney at most survival intervals. About 17 % of the radioactivity was exhaled as 14CO2 during 6 h, which shows that the methyl group of the N-nitrosomethylurea side-chain is split off. Radioactivity was shown to be incorporated in the acid-insoluble precipitate of the pancreatic islets, the liver, the kidney, and the exocrine pancreas. This may, to a varying extent, be due both to alkylating reactions and to incorporation of radioactivity in the macromolecules of the tissues via normal metabolic pathways. About 44 % of the radioactivity was excreted as unchanged [14C]streptozotocin in the urine during 24 h, while about 1 % of the radioactivity was found in the faeces. Whole-body autoradiography of [14C]streptozotocin in two Chinese hamsters and one rat also showed a high accumulation of radioactivity in the pancreatic islets in these species.
