The mesylate derivative of cis-1-hydroxymethyl-2-trimethylsilylcyclopropane has been prepared, along with a number of related mesylates and triflates with substituents on the 1-position. These substrates all solvolyze in CD3CO2D to give products derived from cyclopropylcarbinyl cations that undergo further rearrangement to give 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations. These 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations are stabilized by a long-range rear lobe interaction with the γ-trimethylsilyl group. When the substituent is electron-withdrawing (CF3, CN, or CO2CH3), significant amounts of bicyclobutane products are formed. The bicyclobutanes are a result of γ-trimethylsilyl elimination from the cationic intermediate that has an unusually long calculated Si–C bond. The solvolysis chemistry of mesylate and triflate derivatives of trans-1-hydroxymethyl-2-trimethylsilylcyclopropane and 1-substituted analogs can be quite different since these substrates do not generally lead to 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations.

A stereospecific hydration of the exocyclic methylene group of a derivative of the alkaloid atisine has been observed. The product was used to degrade the alkaloid to a tetracyclic phenol. This enabled rigorous proof of the structure and relative and absolute stereochemistry of atisine and related alkaloids. A detailed explanation of the abnormal basic strength and the isomerization of atisine is given. Long-range influence of polar groups on the basic strength of derivatives of the alkaloid is reported.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of various N-nitroso derivatives of sarcosine, L-proline, and iminodiacetic acid, including some protected dipeptides, have been obtained. Magnetic non-equivalence and conformational isomerism arising from restricted rotation of the nitroso group are discussed in relation to the reported behaviour of other nitrosamines. Long-range shielding effects on protons at a considerable distance from the anisotropic nitrosamino centre were readily detected with these compounds.

The calculation of chemical shift values by the method used in parts I–V (1–5) has been extended to a derivation of the shielding effects of the ethylene–ketal and −thioketal groups. For these studies ketal and thioketal derivatives of monoketoandrostanes were prepared. The chemical shifts of the C-18 and -19 methyl protons in these compounds are reported for the solvents CDCl3, CCl4 and benzene.Representing both groups by point dipoles, values for the anisotropies and for K, a parameter descriptive of the electric field effect, were derived for various, coincidental, locations of the magnetic and electric dipoles along the symmetry axes of the two groups.

The trimethylsilyl group on the 6-position of methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is preferentially removed by methanolysis, using basic or acidic catalysts, giving methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside in high yield (>80%). Reaction of the latter with acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, or phenyl isocyanate produces the corresponding 6-substituted derivatives in quantitative yield. The trimethylsilyl residues from the latter compounds are hydrolyzed by 50% aqueous methanol with the concomitant formation of 6-O-acetyl, 6-O-benzoyl, or 6-carbanilate derivatives of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside in excellent yield. Chemical and proton magnetic resonance (p.m.r.) studies established the structure of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, and of subsequent derivatives prepared from this compound. Infrared and p.m.r. evidence is offered to support conclusions regarding the conformation of the groups or atoms attached to C6 and C5 of the glucoside residue in some of these compounds.
