The bromonium ion of adamantylideneadamantane (Ad=Ad-Br+) has been used to induce the bromocyclization of a 4-pentenyl glycoside (10) and a 5-hexenyl glycoside (11) in dichloroethane. The kinetics of these processes have been studied at 25 °C in the presence of varying [Ad=Ad] and, in the case of the transfer to 10, in the presence of pentanol. The second-order rate constants for bromocyclization of these two alkenes are (1.04 ± 0.06) × 10−1 M−1 s−1 and (5.34 ± 0.2) × 10−1 M−1 s−1, respectively, and in no case does added Ad=Ad or pentanol alter the reaction rate. The kinetic behavior is interpreted in terms of cyclization occurring directly from a 1:1 complex of Ad=Ad-Br+ and 10 or 11. The chiral induction for the bromocyclization of 10 promoted by AdAd-Br+ was measured at 20% e.e., the (−)-(S)-tetrahydrofurfuryl bromide being the dominant stereoisomer. Ad=Ad molecules substituted at one of the homoallylic carbons by an axial methyl group (12), or by two methyl groups (axial and equatorial), were synthesized and the 1H NMR spectra of their bromonium ions is given. These materials are not stable for prolonged times at room temperature. A limited kinetic study of the reaction of 12-Br+ and 4-pentenol indicated that the Br+ transfer is 500 times faster than the comparable transfer from Ad=Ad-Br+ to 4-pentenol. The possibility of using these materials to induce chiral bromocyclization is discussed. Keywords: bromonium ion, halonium, transfer, chiral, adamantylideneadamantane.

Heterocyclic cage compounds of type I (compounds 8-10) have been prepared by condensation reactions of 1,2,2-trifunctional disilanes Me(R)XSiSiMeX2 (R = Me, Ph, OEt; X = NMe2, OEt) with triethanolamine using the “Dilution Principle”. The starting compounds are obtained by Si-Me cleavage of Si2Me6 with acetylchloride/AlCl3 followed by either aminolysis with HNMe2 or alcoholysis with EtOH. 1H NMR spectra indicate N→Si(1) intraction with the more acidic Si atom in 8 and 9. This result is proved by the X-ray structure analysis of 8 (monoclinic, P21/c; a = 7,088(2), b = 15,070(4), c = 12,701(4) Å, β = 104,96(2) at -130 °C, Z = 4); the Si(1)···N distance is found to be 2,768 Å , connected with a significant angular distortion of the tetrahedral coordination around Si(1) towards a trigonal bipyramid. In compound 10, too, N→Si(1) coordination is observed at room temperature in spite of almost equal acidity for both Si atoms. This can be explained by the preference of 5- over 6-membered chelating ring systems. At higher temperatures the 1H NMR spectra show a fluctuation of the N-donor between the two Si centres.

Abstract By 1H NMR spectroscopy the stereochemistry of the 1-methyl-1-benzothiepinium ring system was investigated both in thermodynamic and kinetic respects. It was shown that in solution a rapid mutual conversion of the boat shaped seven membered ring system with exo-respectively endo-S-methyl group occurs via a ring inversion and not by a pyramidal inversion at the sulfonium ion. At room temperature predominantly the conformation with the exo-S-methyl group is present.

Abstract The thioanisole-π-complexes (methylthio-η-benzene)-(η-benzene)-chromium (2) and bis(methylthio-η-benzene)chromium (3) have been prepared via lithiation of bis(η-benzene)-chromium and consecutive reaction with dimethyldisulfide. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of 2 and 3 as well as ESR-spectra of the corresponding radical cations 2.+ and 3.+ were recorded and analyzed. In contrast to C(η-arene)-Si and C(η-arene)-P bonds, C(y-arene)-S bonds are stable to solvolysis. With (norbornadiene)tetracarbonylmolybdenum, 3 readily forms [bis(methylthio-η-benzene)chromium]tetracarbonylmolybdenum (6) wherein 3 functions as a chelating ligand. 1H and 13C NMR evidence suggests, that at room temperature 6 undergoes rapid conformational interconversions.

Abstract Tunnelling frequencies of rotating CD3 groups in solids between about 20 kHz and 2 MHz may be obtained from the 2H NMR spectra. The theory of the spectral response is developed where quadrupole and dipole-dipole interactions as well as rotational tunnelling are taken into account. Features characteristic of tunnelling, which distinguish the spectra from those of rapidly reorienting deuterated methyl groups, are found from analytically calculated spectra even for the case of very large tunnel splittings. Numerical calculations have been performed for various conditions to deter­ mine the tunnel frequency. Experimental spectra measured at 45 MHz and low temperatures have revealed the appearance of rotational tunnelling in CD3I, CD3COONa, and (CD3COO)2Cu • H2O. In the latter case, a tunnelling frequency of 608 kHz has been extracted from the spectrum at 27 K.

While the n.m.r. spectrum of 10,10-dimethyl-9-methylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (I) shows the geminal methyl group absorption as a sharp singlet the spectrum of the dibromo derivative, 10,10-dimethyl-9-dibromomethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (II) shows the methyl absorptions as two sharp well-separated peaks at room temperature which coalesce at 91°. 10,10-Dimethyl-9-phenylbromomethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (III), and the methyl ester (V) of IV show a broad geminal methyl spectrum at room temperature which separates to a doublet at lower temperatures and sharpens to a singlet at higher temperatures. Rate constants for the first-order processes responsible for the change in spectrum of II, III, and V have been calculated at the coalescence temperatures to be 57 (364 °K), 35 (305 °K), and 61 (300 °K) sec−1, respectively. The ΔH≠'s were used to extrapolate the rates to 305° to give values of 1, 40, and 100 sec−1, respectively. The process being studied is inferred to be the equilibrium between two boat conformations of the center ring in the dihydroanthracene system, rapid interconversion leading to identical environments for the two methyl groups. A comparison with the geometrically similar o,o′-disubstituted biphenyl racemization gives support for this explanation. A number of compounds with a proton and one substituent on the methylene carbon atom of I (substituents: bromine, chlorine, phenyl, carboxy, carbomethoxy, phenylmercapto) and also 10,10-dimethyl-9-phenylcarbomethoxymethylene-9,10-dihydroanthracene (XII) showed a single methyl absorption at room temperature. The methyl spectrum of the mono bromo compound VI did not broaden at temperatures down to 246 °K.

A 2H and 14N NMR study of the solid methylammonium hexahalotellurates, (MA)2TeX6 (MA = CH3ND3+ or CD3NH3+, X = Cl, Br, and I), has been undertaken to characterize the dynamics of the methylammonium (MA) ion as a function of temperature. At room temperature, the MA ion in the hexachlorotellurate (solid II) is confined to C3 jumps about the C—N axis while a small angle libration of the C—N axis is occurring. In the room temperature phase, solid I, of (MA)2TeBr6 and (MA)2TeI6 the MA ions are performing overall reorientations on the ps time scale, averaging the 2H nuclear quadrupolar interactions to zero. Variable temperature 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, indicate an activation energy, EA, for "isotropic" reorientations of the CH3ND3+ ion of 5.2 ± 0.5 and 2.6 ± 0.3 kJ mol−1 for X = Br and I, respectively. Deuterium T1 values for C-deuterated MA ion in the hexaiodotellurate indicate an EA for whole-ion reorientation of 3.1 ± 0.3 kJ mol−1. At any given temperature, the correlation time, τc, derived from the T1 results was found to be the same for the two deuterium-labelled hexaiodotellurates. The similarity of both the EA and the τc values implies correlated motion of the methyl and ammonium groups. The 14N T1 results for solid I of (MA)2TeI6 indicate that C—N axis motions, with an EA = 5.6 ± 0.6 kJ mol−1, are more hindered than N—D or C—D bond dynamics. The 2H NMR spectra for (MA)2TeI6 (solid II) and (MA)2TeBr6 (solids II, III, and IV) are characterized by a Pake doublet line shape. The measured peak-to-peak splittings are less than what is predicted by C3 motion about the molecular symmetry axis. It is possible to model these line shapes by postulating that C3 rotations of the methyl and ammonium groups occur as the C—N axis librates in an effective cone about the position of the static molecular axis. For (CH3ND3)2TeBr6 and (CD3NH3)3TeBr6 the peak-to-peak splittings in the 2H NMR spectra were measured as a function of temperature in solid phases II, III, and IV and were found to be similar. Finally, the 2H NMR line shape relaxation for (MA)2TeBr6 (solid III) displays an orientation dependence indicating that rotations about the C—N axis are discrete rather than diffusive in nature. For solid phase II of (MA)2TeCl6, the line shape is observed to relax isotropically, implying that continuous C3 rotations are taking place. Keywords: 2H and 14N NMR, methylammonium hexahalotellurates, molecular motion.

Chemical shifts of signals due to methyl groups in position 10β (in CDCl3) and 4α and 4β (in C6D6) in 1H NMR spectra of pentacyclic triterpene 3-oxo derivatives (V, VIII, IX, and XII) are suitable for estimation of chair-boat equilibrium in the ring A. Benzene and lanthanide induced shifts of 4α and 4β-methyl protons were also used for this purpose. The results obtained with 2α-methyl-3-ketones (III, X) and 2β-methyl-3-ketones (IV, XI) as the respective chair and boat models agree well with those derived from other physical data (about 40% boat). The same methods were applied to 4,4-dimethylsteroid 3-ketones XV-XVII.

ABSTRACTMelting gels are silica-based hybrid gels with the curious behavior that they are rigid at room temperature, but soften around 110°C. A typical melting gel is prepared by mixing methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES). MTES has one methyl group substituted for an ethoxy, and DMDES has two substitutions. The methyl groups do not hydrolyze, which limits the network-forming capability of the precursors. To gain insight into the molecular structure of the melting gels, differential scanning calorimetry and oscillatory rheometry studies were performed on melting gels before consolidation. According to oscillatory rheometry, at room temperature, the gels behave as viscous fluids, with a viscous modulus, G″(t,ω0) that is larger than the elastic modulus, G′(t,ω0). As the temperature is decreased, gels continue to behave as viscous fluids, with both moduli increasing with decreasing temperature. At some point, the moduli cross over, and this temperature is recorded as the glass transition temperature Tg. The Tg values obtained from both methods are in excellent agreement. The Tg decreases from -0.3oC to -56oC with an increase in the amount of di-substituted siloxane (DMDES) from 30 to 50 mole %. A decrease of the Tg follows an increase of the number of hydrolytically stable groups, meaning a decrease in the number of oxygen bridges between siloxane chains.

Analyses of the 1H nmr spectra of 6-chloro-2-methylthiophenol and of 4-tert-butyl-2-methylthiophenol in CCl4 solution, together with double irradiation experiments, show that 5J(CH5,SH) in the former compound is −0.66 Hz and is +0.47 Hz in the latter. In the chloro compound, the sulfhydryl group spends relatively little time in out-of-plane conformations at 300 K. The negative coupling is a consequence of a through-space or proximate coupling mechanism. In the other compound, the sulfhydryl group samples many out-of-plane conformations but relatively few in which the S—H bond lies near the methyl group. Therefore 5J(CH3,SH) is now dominated by a σ−π electron mechanism and is positive. Probably by coincidence, 4J(H,SH) in this compound is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to 5J(CH3,SH).

An analysis for determining kinetics of effect of varied shelf-life time to the level of vitamin C in Malus sylvestris fruits has been conducted. It has used fresh apple Malang (M. sylvestris) from Batu (East Java) at their harvest time with the same size and color as the subject of the research. Therefore, the fruits were stored in room temperature and kept away from direct sunlight for 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. The fruits were extracted by using a juice blending technique with aquadest as the solvent. An iodimetric titration has been used to determine the effect of the varied storage time to the level of vitamin C in the samples. The result shows that the average value of vitamin C level in M. sylvestris stored in 0, 1, 2, and 3 days as much as 2.3904 mg/50g; 2.1073 mg/50g; 2.06695 mg/50g; and 1.9860 mg/50g, respectively. Statistic analysis of ANAVA-A and t-test confirms that there are significant differences between the level of vitamin C of M. sylvestris stored in 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. The conclusion about the kinetics of ascorbic acid degradation of M. sylvestris at 27 0C states three expressions as following as: the reaction is a second order reaction, the constants of reaction rate is 2.65 x 10-2 L(mol.days)-1, the half life is 15.786 days, and kinetics model for the reaction is C = (0.0265t + 1/C0)-1.
