Six related oxiranes (the cis and trans isomers derived from 3-methoxycyclopentene and from 3-methoxycyclohexene, as well as the oxiranes from the corresponding unsubstituted olefins) were each treated under the same conditions with an acidic solution containing charged and uncharged nucleophiles (chloride ion, water, and methanol). The corresponding perchloric acid catalyzed scissions were also carried out. Accurate and reproducible methods of product analysis for the reaction mixtures were developed. In this way, nucleophilic attacks upon different oxiranes were compared directly. Attacks by different nucleophiles upon the same oxirane, or by a single nucleophile upon different positions of the same oxirane, were compared in the very same solution. The results are considered to provide the most extensive demonstration of the effects of charge orientation yet available. The synthesis of some new isomeric 1,2,3-trisubstituted diols and dimethoxyalcohols are reported.

Acid-catalyzed elimination of methanol from 2,4-dimethoxytetrahydropyran (1) produces 2-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (3) rather than the expected olefin 4-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (2).The reaction of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin with 3 in ether – methanol gives a 2:1 mixture of the isomers 3β-bromo-2α,4α-dimethoxytetrahydropyran (5a) and 3α-bromo-2α,4β-dimethoxytetrahydropyran (5b) respectively. A rationale is given to explain the preponderance of 5a over 5b and the highly selective attack of the bromine of the hydantoin and the methanol on C-3 and C-4 respectively of the double bond of 3. Reduction of 5ab with zinc in ethanol provides only compound 3.The room temperature reaction of 1 in a mixture of water and 1,2-dimethoxyethane containing Amberlite IR-120, produces 2-hydroxy-4-methoxytetrahydropyran (6) as an equilibrium mixture of cis and trans isomers in the ratio 1:1. This gave a value of 0.9 kcal/mole for the anomeric effect in 6. Pyrolysis of the derivative, 2-acetoxy-4-methoxytetrahydropyran failed to produce the olefin 2 and resulted only in extensive decomposition.

Nitration of p-xylene in acetic anhydride gives as the major product cis and trans isomers of the adduct 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydrophenyl acetate (1) as well as 2-nitro-p-xylene. The acetoxynitro adducts 1a and 1b are stereospecifically cleaved to the hydroxynitro adducts 2a and 2b, respectively, by sodium methoxide. Acid-catalyzed exchange of OAc in 1 for OCH3, OCHO, OCH2C6H4CH3-p occurs and is nonstereospecific. Rearomatization of 1 gives 2-nitro-p-xylene, side-chain (benzylic) derivatives, and 2,5-xylyl acetate. The relevance of these reactions to side-chain substitution of arenes under electrophilic conditions is discussed.

Butterfly pea flower have great sensory attraction, but they have not yet been used widely in Vietnam. Extracts of butterfly pea flowers can be used conveniently as a natural blue colorant for food products. In this study, the identification of anthocyanin compounds in butterfly pea flowers was performed by UPLC coupled with a UV and Mass spectrometer instrument. Positive and negative ion electrospray MS/MS chromatograms and spectra of the anthocyanin compounds were determined. By analyzing the chromatograms and spectra for each ion, five anthocyanins were identified in the butterfly pea flower extract; these were delphinidin-3-(6”‐p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl) glucose in both cis- and trans- isomers, cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. Additionally, based on their intensity, it was determined that cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) was the most abundant anthocyanin, followed by cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside), delphinidin-3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. In this study, cyanidin derivatives were discovered in butterfly pea flower extract, where these compounds had not been detected in previous studies.

The malonic ester synthesis of nervonic acid (tetracos-15-enoic acid) has been modified so that the product consists of pure cis rather than a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The modified synthesis has been used for the preparation of C14-labelled erucic and nervonic acids.

Treatment of 16α-bromo-17-oxosteroids 1 and 2 with gaseous ammonia and successive air-oxidation afforded the cis and trans isomers of D-linked bis-steroid pyrazines. Analogous reaction of 1α-bromo-4-nor-5α-cholestan-2-one (3) led to unexpected hydrolysis products.
