The 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance data of 3-oxycyclohexenes, 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes, and 1-oxytetralins show (i) that the pseudoaxial preference is larger for the acetoxyl group than for the methoxyl group in 3-oxycyclohexenes, (ii) that the methoxyl and the acetoxyl groups have the same pseudoaxial preference in 1-oxytetralins, and (iii) that in 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes, the acetoxyl group prefers the equatorial orientation whereas the methoxyl group prefers to be axial. These results are interpreted in terms of the orbital picture (π–σ* stabilization of the axial conformer) of the generalized anomeric effect to which is opposed a conformational effect termed the "unsaturation effect" in 2-acetoxymethylenecyclo-hexane and probably also, but to a much smaller extent, in 1-acetoxytetralin. The results also show that cis and transtert-butyl analogues of 3-oxycyclohexenes do not represent the true limit conformers whereas cis and trans 4-tert-butyl derivatives of 2-oxymethylenecyclohexanes do not differ drastically from the limit conformers.

The analysis of the 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance data of 2-substituted methylenecyclohexanes and 3-substituted cyclohexenes demonstrates that a double bond stabilizes the axial conformer for an electronegative substituent. Introduction of a methoxy group on the double bond further increases the relative stability of the axial conformer. These results are interpreted in terms of the 'double bond – no bond' resonance.

Three azomethine ylide precursors including the methyl 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline-3carboxylate moiety were synthesized. The 1,3-dipolar species formed from these products react with activated dipolarophilic olefines leading diastereospecifically to derivatives of 4′,5′-dimethoxy-1,2-benzo-4,7-imino-4-methoxycarbonyl-1-cycloheptene. Proton magnetic resonance data allowed the determination of the stereochemistry of the cycloadducts. Key words: cyclic azomethine ylide, azabicyclic compounds, stereochemistry.

The photolyses of indene and naphthalene with acrylonitrile have been studied, and the products characterized. Indene reacts with acrylonitrile when the hydrocarbon absorbs light, or when a triplet sensitizer (acetophenone) is absorbing. Photolysis under the former conditions in ethanol yields 2-(1-indenylpropionitrile) (70%), 2-(3-indenylpropionitrile) (10%), and 6-cyano-2,3-benzobicyclo[3,2,0]hept-2-ene (20%). Base-catalyzed isomerizations of the substituted indenes are reported. On sensitization, cis- and trans-isomers of 7-cyano-2,3-benzobicyclo[3,2,0]hept-2-ene are formed, with a minor amount of indene dimer. The former isomers can be equilibrated with strong base. Adducts of 1,1-dimethyl- and 1,1-diphenylindene with acrylonitrile are also described, and nuclear magnetic resonance data reported. Naphthalene adds acrylonitrile on photolysis in t-butyl alcohol (pyrex filter) to afford trans-8-cyano-2,3-benzobicyclo-[4,2,0]-octa-2,4-diene (90%) and 1- and 2-naphthyl-2-propionitrile (10%). Sensitization with acetophenone gave no detectable products. Irradiation of the major product at 253.7 mμ through Vycor gave naphthalene. The preparative value of these reactions is considered and possible mechanisms are proposed.

Carbon-13 chemical shifts and 13C—1H couplings are reported for some substituted 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxanes and related tetrahydropyran derivatives. These data, together with nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments, provided evidence for a favored orientation of the methoxyl group. From an analysis of the 13C chemical shifts and the magnitude of vicinal 13C—1H coupling between —OCH3 and H-2, a possible dynamic-equilibrium orientation for the methoxyl group is proposed, and an evaluation of the significance of a "generalized exo-anomeric effect" is presented.

The n.m.r. spectra of a series of 3-fluorinated glucose derivatives have been measured; spectral assignments were confirmed by 1H–{19F} heteronuclear decoupling experiments. The 19F spectral parameters illustrate a variety of stereospecific dependencies, the most noteworthy being that of 4JF,H couplings, for which 4Je,e = ca. + 4.0 Hz while 4Je,a = ca. − 1.5 Hz.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance data for a variety of phenyl derivatives of boron, silicon, tin, phosphorus, and tellurium fluorides are presented. Neutral, anionic, and cationic complexes are included and the coordination number of the central element varies from 3 to 6. Empirical equations of the 13C chemical shifts of the benzene ring have been deduced by taking into consideration the charge density, dipole moment, and binding energy, and the 13C chemical shifts calculated from these equations deviate from the experimental values by up to 1.4 ppm, but mostly less than 0.7 ppm.

Trimethylboron and trimethylgallium react with 3-methylpyrazole to yield isomer pairs of dimeric products [Me2E(Mepz)]2 (E = B, Ga; Mepz = 3-methylpyrazolyl), in the approximate ratios 4:3 (E = B) and 9:1 (E = Ga), while trimethylindium gives a single species. Reactions of indazole with trimethylgallium and trimethylindium also yield a single structural isomer of the dimer [Me2Eind]2 (E = Ga, In; ind = indazolyl). Solution structures were interpreted on the basis of 1H nmr data.

Caryophyllene oxide (I) and dihydrocaryophyllene oxide (II) have been found to give 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones. Structures IV, V, and VII are assigned to three of these compounds on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance data, other spectral and chemical data, and mechanistic considerations. Structure VII is the product of a new cyclization–rearrangement of the caryophyllene system. The dinitrophenylhydrazone previously obtained from isocaryophyllene oxide-a (III) is probably identical with VII. Three other new derivatives of caryophyllene are described, one of which (VI) is an intermediate in the conversion of I to VII.

The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance data of a series of 2-(4-substituted-phenoxy)tetrahydropyrans at 156 K and in CF2Br2 and CHFCl2 solvents show that the axial preference increases with electron withdrawal in the aryloxy group: from 79% (ΔG°E→A = −0.4 kcal mol−1) (4-OCH3) to 90% (ΔG°E→A = −0.7 kcal mol−1) (4-NO2) in CF2Br2. The axial preference (anomeric effect) is smaller in the more polar CHFCl2 solvent, as expected, and the substituent effect is smaller also: change in ΔG°E→A from −0.3 (4-OCH3) to −0.5 (4-NO2) kcal mol−1. However, the axial preference of 2-acetoxytetrahydropyran is shown to be smaller than that of 2-phenoxytetrahydropyran in CF2Br2 solvent although the acetoxy group is expected to be more electronegative than the phenoxy group. Furthermore, the polarity of the solvent has no effect on the conformational equilibrium of 2-acetoxytetrahydropyran. The results are interpreted in terms of both orbital and electrostatic interactions. The ring-inversion barrier of 2-alkoxy and 2-aryloxytetrahydropyrans, determined by the temperature-coalescence method, is lower than that of tetrahydropyran by about 1.5 kcal mol−1. Key words: 2-substituted tetrahydropyrans, conformational analysis, anomeric effect, ring inversion.
