The structure of spirolucidine, a new type of Lycopodium alkaloid related to the lucidines, has been determined. Chemical and spectroscopic data, together with biogenetic considerations, led to the correct constitution of spirolucidine. An X-ray crystallographic study of tetrahydrodeoxyspirolucidine, the lithium aluminum hydride reduction product of spirolucidine, confirmed the constitution and established the relative stereochemistry of the alkaloid.

The photolysis of sulfur monochloride with a series of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons yielded alkyl chlorides, di- and polysulfides, hydrogen chloride, and elemental sulfur. The free radical substitution reactions leading to the production of alkyl chloride and the di- and polysulfides were shown to proceed via a chlorine atom abstraction reaction. The major products, the di- and polysulfides could be transformed quantitatively, by lithium aluminum hydride reduction into their corresponding mercaptans. The reaction describes a simple free radical route to the synthesis of a variety of alkyl mercaptans.

β-Amino-α-ferrocenyl alcohols [FcC(OH)(R)CH2NH2] (R = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, Ph, p-MeOC6H4, o-ClC6H4, m-ClC6H4, p-ClC6H4, Fc; Fc = C5H4FeC5H5) were prepared by the reduction of cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers of acylferrocenes with lithium aluminum hydride. All new compounds were characterised by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The X-ray crystal structure of β-amino-α,α-diferrocenylethanol shows that it has a polymeric chain structure with hydrogen bonding interactions between the OH proton and the N of NH2.

Irradiation of 2-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (2-cyanonorbornene, 4) in hexane, with the full arc of a mercury vapour lamp, gives the rearrangement products 1-cyanobicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-ene 5 and 7-cyanotricyclo[4.1.0.03.7]heptane 6 in the ratio 20:1. These products were separated by preparative vpc. The structure of the major product 5 was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Reduction of 5 with lithium aluminum hydride gave the corresponding primary amine, which was converted to the p-bromobenzenesulfonamide 9, mp 150–151 °C, which gave single crystals from ethanol–water. The crystal and molecular structures are described. The minor product 6 was hydrogenated to give 7-cyanobicyclo[2.2. 1]heptane. Formation of 5 and 6 may involve concerted σ2s + π2s and σ2a + π2a processes respectively, which are photochemically allowed.

Abstract An efficient preparation was developed for 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene and the corresponding azoxy and hydrazo derivatives, based on the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3,4-dichIoronitrobenzene. Batches were analyzed for purity by using a reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method. All 3 compounds can be synthesized in gram quantities with 97–99% purity. Detailed mass, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses are presented.
