The relative acidities of fiteen aldimines and ketimines have been measured in THF using either 13C nmr spectroscopy or trapping experiments with methyl iodide. The pKA's are found to vary over a range of more than four pK units. The effects of structure on acidity indicate the acid-weakening effect of alkyl substitution in ketimines to be due to steric effects. This interpretation is supported by the results of abinitio calculations. The data also permit a quantitative estimation of the preference for the syn configuration of lithiated imines to be at least four kcal/mol. The anti selectivity previously reported for the lithiation of endocyclic imines can be accounted for by angular constraints, as indicated by both abinitio calculations and pKa data on this class of imine.

Ethoxy-alkenes act as excellent carbene acceptors in the methylmonohalogenocyclopropanation reaction mediated by 1,1-dichloroethane and iodide-ion free methyl iodide. As well as chlorinated adducts, a large proportion of brominated products are obtained by means of halogen exchange at the carbene complex – salt intermediate stage. Adduct stereochemistry is determined by 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopy. The syn-stereoselectivity of the reaction is discussed in electronic and steric terms. [Journal Translation]

(9H-Fluoren-9-ylidene)fluoromethyllithium (1) was prepared by a low-temperature transmetallation of bromo(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)fluoromethane (2). Whereas the synthesis of unlabeled bromofluoroalkene 2a was based on Wittig-Horner reaction of fluorenone (3) with ethyl (diethoxyphosphoryl)fluoroacetate (4), (1-13C)-labeled compound 2b was obtained via an addition of labeled lithium 1-ethoxy-2-fluoro(2-13C)ethen-1-olate (5) to ketone 3. Fluoroethenyllithium 1 was found by a low-temperature 19F NMR spectroscopy to be stable up to -40 °C; it was reacted with the series of electrophiles, e.g. benzaldehyde (6), methyl iodide (7) or chloro(trimethyl)silane (8). 13C NMR experiments with (1-13C)-labeled 1a proved that fluorocarbenoid 1 is probably monomeric in THF solution in analogy to other halocarbenoids.

AbstractNMR parameters [chemical] shifts (δ11B, δ13C) and coupling constants (1J(13C1H), 1J(13C11B), 1J(13C13C), 1J(11B11B) of closo-pentaalkyl-1,5-dicarbapentaboranes(5) were determinated by 10B, 11B, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The magnitudes of 1J(13C11B) and 1J(13C13C) correspond to 1J(11B1H), 1J(13C11B) and 1J(13C1H) in the parent compound 1,5-C2B3H5 . According to predictions from MO calculations 1J(11B11B) was found to be < 10 Hz. Together with these data the δ11B and δ13C values show that neither the structure nor the bonding situation in the polyhedron are significantly affected by alkyl substitution.

2,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadiene is formed in the catalytic solution for the dimerization of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene to β-myrcene (3-methylene-7-methyl-1,6-octadiene), as revealed by mass spectrometry and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Visual observations together with the results of gas chromatographic analysis of the catalytic solution suggest that the formation of 2,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene is associated with the transition of the alkali metal (sodium) from the solid phase into the solution. A reaction pathway is suggested accounting for the formation of 2,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene in the system.

Two new alkaloids were isolated from the field ergot. Their structures, N-(D-lysergyl-L-valyl)cyclo(L-valyl-D-prolyl) (IV) and N-(D-lysergyl-L-valyl)cyclo(L-leucyl-D-prolyl) (V), were assigned by mass, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

The structure of a new compound formed in the reaction of ethoxyquin with alkylperoxy radicals was resolved by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy (including COSY, NOESY, HHC RCT and SSLR INEPT techniques) and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The structure suggest participation of 4-methyl group of ethoxyquin in the deactivation of peroxy radicals. A mechanism of this reaction is proposed.

Sodium hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-hexaborate(1-) (6), available from hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba- nido-hexaborane(8) (4) by deprotonation, reacts with deuterated methanol, CD3OD, to give back 4 without H/D exchange of the B-H-B hydrogen atom. The reaction of 6 with diethylboron chloride, Et2BCl, affords hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-closo-hexaborane(6) (7), the first example of a peralkylated carborane of this type. In contrast, the reaction of 6 with boron tribromide, BBr3, leads mainly to 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-closo-heptaborane(7) (8), together with the corresponding 1-bromo derivative (9) and the closo-carborane 7 as side products. The reaction of two equivalents of 6 with FeCl2 gives the air-stable sandwich complex bis[hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-hexaborate(1-)]iron 10 which was characterised by X-ray structural analysis. All products were characterised by 1H, 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to study 10.

The intramolecular nucleophilic addition of N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)glycine anion in methanol-dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures produces spiro[(3-methyl-5-oxazolidinone)-2,1'-(2',4',6'-trinitrobenzenide)]. The spiro adduct has been identified by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. This is the first case when the formation of a Meisenheimer adduct with carboxylate ion is observed. Logarithm of the equilibrium constant of adduct formation increases linearly with the mole fraction of dimethyl sulfoxide in its mixture with methanol.
