Abstract THE present paper was suggested by a recent publication of Pauly on the same subject, who applied the well known sterol reactions of Hesse, Liebermann, Tschugajeff, etc., to the hydrocarbons of rubber and gutta-percha. These reactions depend either upon the action of concentrated H2SO4 on chloroform solutions of the substances in the presence or absence of acetic anhydride (Liebermann, Burchard and Hesse reactions) or other solvents, or condensation reagents are used, such as acetyl chloride and zinc chloride by Tschugajeff, and acetic acid with arsenic trichloride by Kahlenberg, and trichloroacetic acid with a trace of formaldehyde by Godoletz. All the known sterol reactions take place also with rubber or gutta-percha, with the appearance of intense red or violet colorations of varying stability, the color depending in part upon the quality and in part upon the purity of the samples. The Burchard reaction in particular is very sensitive in these respects. Thus with rubber purified with alkali by the Pummerer method, the color is a Bordeaux red which does not change for a long time, whereas solutions of unpurified rubber change rapidly, a change which is rightly ascribed by Pauly to relatively rapid oxidation in the presence of oxidation products in the case of the unpurified rubber.

Acetylations of 3-ferrocenyl-1-methylpyrrole as well as 3-cyano-4-ferrocenylpyrrole and 3-cyano-4-ferrocenyl-1-methylpyrrole were performed. The course of the acylation is highly dependent on the acylation agent, that is acetyl chloride/aluminum chloride (method A), trifluoroacetic anhydride-acetic acid mixture (method B) or acetic anhydride/Sc(OTf)3 (method C). Method A gives the acetylation on ferrocene moiety, method B affords the trifluoroacetylation on pyrrole moiety and method C affords pyrrole moiety acetylation. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation gives the products of substitution on pyrrole moiety.

Dehydroabietic acid (1a) was reacted with diketene, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, isopropenyl acetate, acetyl chloride, and acetone on Vycor rod at 450 °C in a hot tube. Dehydroabietic anhydride (1b) and acetyl dehydroabietate (1c) were pyrolyzed at 450 °C and dehydroabietyl chloride (1d) was pyrolyzed over a temperature range of 290–500 °C. The major olefin products resulting from decarboxylation of the various derivatives were 19-norabieta-4,8,11,13-tetraene (2), 19-norabieta-4(18),8,11,13-tetraene (3), 19-norabieta-3,8,11,13-tetraene (4), and cis-1,10a-dimethyl-7-isopropyl-1,2,3,9,10,10a-hexahydrophenanthrene (5). High conversions to these compounds were obtained. In the presence of the ketene-producing reagents the olefins were oxidized to yield substantial amounts of retene (6), compounds 2 and 5 being the most readily dehydrogenated. The acid isomerization of 2, 3, 4, and 5 was studied using p-toluenesulfonic acid in toluene at 110 °C.

The reaction [Formula: see text] has been found to be reversible in acetic anhydride. Analysis for electropositive chlorine and for nitric acid in this reacting system indicates that consumption of NO3− and production of Cl+ passes through a maximum after which nitric acid is regenerated and electropositive chlorine disappears. This phenomenon has been interpreted as an initial formation of chlorine acetate (or other chlorine ester) which then decomposes to give elemental chlorine. The increased demand for hydrogen chloride then shifts the equilibrium toward regeneration of nitric acid. The reaction has been found to be second order in its kinetics, with an activation energy of about 8000 cal. It is probably not the rate-controlling step in the catalyzed nitration, except perhaps where such nitration is easy and efficient. When nitration is difficult the electropositive chlorine tends to accumulate. When it becomes elemental chlorine, it is ineffective for nitration catalysis and is destructive to the amine. The catalysts acetyl chloride and zinc chloride have been studied. Electropositive chlorine formation occurs at the same rate with acetyl chloride as with hydrogen chloride. Zinc chloride, on the other hand, has been found to generate the maximum amount of electropositive chlorine immediately. This indicates that zinc chloride would be a good catalyst for easily nitrated amines but less efficient for amines which react more slowly, since the chlorine acetate not consumed by chloramination would decompose to give the destructive elemental chlorine. No mono-, di-, or trichloroacetic acids, nor perchloric acid, could be detected in aged reaction systems initially hydrogen chloride – nitric acid – acetic anhydride.

The reactivity of a number of 17-alkyl-substituted steroids toward the zinc chloride – acetyl chloride (Tshugaev) reagent has been investigated. Maximum absorption values of reaction products were determined spectrophotometrically. A general parallelism between the Liebermann–Burchard (sulphuric acid-acetic anhydride) and the Tshugaev reagent was confirmed except in the case of 5: 6 unsaturated 7-ketosteroids, which reacted to the latter reagent only. Arguments against currently suggested mechanisms for the Liebermann–Burchard reaction are presented, and a new mechanism for color production is postulated which involves ring cleavage. Experimental support is offered.

An investigation has been made of the photochemical and dark reactions of azobenzene in acetic acid-ferric chloride and acetic acid-aluminium chloride mixtures for comparison with the corresponding reactions of azobenzene in sulphuric acid. The photochemical reactions resulted in cyclodehydrogenation of azobenzene to benzo[c]cinnoline, and small quantities of reduction products of azobenzene were also isolated. The formation of reduction products was again observed in the dark reactions, but there was no sign of cyclodehydrogenation. The significance of these observations is now discussed. Irradiation of azobenzene in acetyl chloride, or in acetic anhydride containing hydrogen chloride, resulted in a novel photochemical reaction in which NN?-diacetyl-4-chlorohydrazobenzene was formed in high yield.

The yield of purified dioctylnitramine from di-n-octylammonium chloride is low and the crude nitration product is badly contaminated with by-products which contain halogen. Since dioctylamine can be nitrosated, acetylated, chlorinated, and p-toluenesulphonated with ease it is considered that the low yield of nitro compound is owing to decomposition of the dioctylchloramine which is intermediate during the nitration process. A mechanism for this decomposition is suggested on the basis of the products isolated from treatment of the chloramine with hydrogen chloride, acetyl chloride, acetic acid, or acetic anhydride.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
