ABSTRACTSeveral metallic glasses in the form of ribbons were screened for activity as hydrogenation catalysts. Pd80Si20 and (Ni50Fe50)80B20 showed activity in reducing cyclohexene. Pd 80 Si20 was further examined for differences between the glassy and crystalline phases in the selectivity shown during hydrogenation reactions of n-hexenes, phenylethyne, α-pinene, and cyclododecene. No significant differences were found for catalytic selectivity in regard to cis-trans isomerization, double bond migration, and stereochemistry of addition under the reaction conditions used. Minor differences were observed in hydrogen-deuterium exchange.

It has been shown that butene-1 undergoes isomerization to butene-2 on a nickel catalyst in the presence of hydrogen. B y using deuterium, this double-bond migration has been examined simultaneously with the exchange and hydrogenation reactions. The kinetics of double-bond migration and hydrogenation at 65° C were found to be identical, the rate of reaction in both cases being proportional to the square root of the butene pressure and to the square root of the hydrogen pressure. Energies of activation for the three reactions were measured over the temperature range 76-126° C and the following values found: Exchange 9.0 kcal. Hydrogenation 2.5 ,, Double-bond migration 5.9 ,, At the lowest temperatures, the rate of double-bond migration was about six times that of exchange. These facts are in agreement with the theory that the catalytic exchange between olefines and deuterium takes place through the formation of an associative complex. The rate-determining step in the double-bond migration is the second, fast step of the exchange reaction, viz.

The polycyclic, polyoxygenated picrotoxane tutin was subjected to various glycosylation reaction conditions in an effort to synthesise β-linked tutin glycosides, recently found in toxic honeys. Cationic palladium-mediated glycosylation of tutin was successful; however, the α-linked tutin tetrabenzyl glucoside was obtained as the major product (5 : 1, α : β). Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ether protecting groups resulted in concomitant tutin double-bond migration. Epoxide opening and rearrangement were observed upon acetylation of the tutin glucoside.

Reduction of perillaldehyde by lithium in ammonia gives products the structures of which depend on reaction conditions. Shisool (p-menth-8- en-7-ol) undergoes double-bond migration in the presence of acids. The corresponding aldehyde, with dimethylsulfonium methylide, forms an oxiran which is comparatively unreactive, double-bond rearrangement or reduction accompanying the opening of the oxiran. The conversion of shisool into 5-(β-hydroxyethyl)-2-isopropylcyclohexanone was frustrated by only partial migration of the double bond.

A method for optical resolution of chiral acids is described. It consists of the conversion of racemic acids to diastereomeric amides, their chromatographic separation and subsequent deamidation via the nitrosamide route. Reaction conditions for cleavage of amide derivatives of phenylalanine and methylbenzylamine are given. No or only negligible racemization of carboxylic acids, chiral in α-position takes place under those conditions. The extent of Ε,Ζ-isomerization of double bonds is very small, as is the extent of double bond migration from the Δ3-position into conjugation with the carboxyl function. Enantiomerically pure R- or S[2-3H]2-methylbutanoic acid and (-)methyl-3(p-chlorophenyl)-2-chloropropionate (Bidisin®) were prepared by this procedure.

Aim and Objective: Pyrazolone sulfones have been reported to exhibit herbicidal and antibacterial activities. In spite of their good bioactivities, only a few methods have been developed to prepare pyrazolone sulfones. However, the substrate scope of these methods is limited. Moreover, the direct sulfonylation of pyrazolone by aryl sulfonyl chloride failed to give pyrazolone sulfones. Thus, developing a more efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones is very important. Materials and Method: Pyrazolone, aryl sulphonyl hydrazide, iodine, p-toluenesulphonic acid and water were mixed in a sealed tube, which was heated to 100°C for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and m-CPBA was added in batches. The mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min at room temperature. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford sulfuryl pyrazolone. Results: In all cases, the sulfenylation products were formed smoothly under the optimized reaction conditions, and were then oxidized to the corresponding sulfones in good yields by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in water. Single crystal X-ray analysis of pyrazolone sulfone 4aa showed that the major tautomer of pyrazolone sulfones was the amide form instead of the enol form observed for pyrazolone thioethers. Moreover, the C=N double bond isomerized to form an α,β-unsaturated C=C double bond. Conclusion: An efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone thioethers by iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones with aryl sulfonyl hydrazides in water was developed. Moreover, this method was employed to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones in one-pot by subsequent sulfenylation and oxidation reactions.

Analogs of 4-(2',4'-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-2-methyl-4-oxobutanoic acid (I, flobufen), containing a double bond (II, IV, V, VII, VIII) or a methyl group in position 3 (VI) were prepared. Their antiinflammatory activity was evaluated and compared with that of flobufen. None of the mentioned analogs reached the activity of the standard. Isomerization of the unsaturated derivatives is connected with a shift of the double bond, Z-E transformation or lactonization. Reaction conditions and spectra of the compounds prepared are described.
