Dibromo Ketones

X-ray crystal structures are reported for two symmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones: a meso diastereomer of 3,5-dibromo–2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptan-4-one, and a rac isomer of 4,6-dibromo–2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8-octamethylnonan-5-one. Using these secure assignments and a previously confirmed structure for the diastereomers of 2,4-dibromopentan-3-one, we show in this study that gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) retention times (meso > rac) can be used to confidently assign the diastereomers for a range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic α,α'-dibromo ketones. 1H NMR chemical shifts for the >CHBr hydrogen(s) can also be corroboratively used for assignment purposes (δracH > δmesoH).Key words: α,α'-dibromo ketones, X-ray crystal structures, GLC retention times, isomer assignment

Hydrolysis Of

Slow reactions of isomeric metallacarboranes of general formulae [(NMe2)3TaC2B9H11] (3 isomers) and [(NMe2)3TaC2B9H10Me] (3 isomers) with CD2Cl2 afford quantitative yields of monochloro complexes [Cl(NMe2)2TaC2B9H11] and [Cl(NMe2)2TaC2B9H10Me]. Exposure to CD2Cl2 for months leads to solutions containing about 70% of the dichlorides in three cases. More prolonged exposure of these and the other monochlorides leads to a mixture of boron-substituted complexes. Hydrolysis of [3,3,3-(NMe2)3-3,1,2-TaC2B9H11] by moist toluene results in the formation of the oxo-bridged complex 3,3'-[3,3-(NMe2)2-3,1,2-TaC2B9H11]2(μ-O), characterised by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The limited solubility of the latter complex in CD2Cl2 eliminates the presence of this compound in the reaction of [3,3,3-(NMe2)3-3,1,2-TaC2B9H11] with CD2Cl2. The reaction of [2,2,2-(NMe2)3-2,1,12-TaC2B9H11] with CH2Br2 in C6D6 quantitatively yields the monobromide [2-Br-2,2-(NMe2)2-2,1,12-TaC2B9H11]. Prolonged reaction with CH2Br2 leads directly to isomeric boron-substituted complexes with no evidence for dibromides. The influence on 11B, 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts of replacing an amide group in [(NMe2)3TaC2B9H11] with chloride to give [Cl(NMe2)2TaC2B9H11] is also discussed.

AbstractIntroduction of sulfur into the 5-position of 1,4-disubstituted quaternary 1,2,4-triazolium salts (1-9; Cl, Br, I, BF4, PF6, CH3OSO3 were used as anions) by two methods was investigated. The syntheses of nine 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones 10-18 are reported (1, 10: R1 = CH3, R2 = CH3; 2, 11: R1 = NH2, R2 = CH3; 3, 12: R1 = NH2, R2 = CH(CH3)2; 4, 13: R1 = N(CH3)2, R2 = CH3; 5, 14: R1 = N(CH3)2, R2 = CH(CH3)2; 6, 15: R1 = CH3, R2 = NH2; 7, 16: R1 = OCH2Ph, R2 = CH3; 8, 17: R1 = OCH2Ph, R2 = CH2CH3; 9, 18: R1 = CH3, R2 = CH2Ph). Compounds 11-17 represent 1-amino, 4-amino, 4-dimethylamino, and 4-benzyloxy-1,2,4-triazoline-5- thiones, whereas 10 served as a reference compound. Thione 18 was identified as an unexpected by-product in the synthesis of 16 and was also prepared independently. Thermolysis of 10 in air gave 1,4-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolium hydrogensulfate. Crystal structures of eight 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,4- triazoline-5-thiones were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds (C-H···S, C-H···N, N-H···N, N-H···S) were observed in the solid state. The solvent-dependent 1H NMR chemical shifts of signals of 10 and 13 were satisfactorily correlated with the Kamlet- Abboud-Taft π* and b parameters in ten solvents. From the lack of correlation with the a parameter and from the C=S bond length (average 1.67 Å) a significant contribution of a mesoionic imidazolium-2-thiolate resonance structure seems unlikely

Wittig Reactions

At lower temperatures stabilized ylides react with unsymmetrically substituted phthalic anhydrides to give two acyclic adducts. When the reactions are allowed to proceed at higher temperature enol lactones are formed. Identification of the acyclic intermediates was necessary to understand the mechanism of these Wittig reactions. The transient species trapped in the reaction with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate were unambiguously identified by crystallographic methods. The crystal structures of the tetrafluoroborate salt of methyl(triphenylphosphoranyl idene)- acetate (8), methyl(3-methoxy,2-methoxycarbonylbenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (6β), and methyl(2-methoxycarbonyl,6-nitrobenzoyl)triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (7α) were studied by X-ray diffraction. The ionic salt (8) is monoclinic, P21c,a= 12.640(5), b = 13.945(9), c = 14.825(6) Å, β = 125.32(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.065 (F >5.4 σ(F)). Crystal 6 β is monoclinic, P21c,a = 16.391(16), b = 9.029(6), c = 19.835(19) Å, β = 116.60(6)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.070 (F > 4.6 σ(F)), while crystal 7α is also monoclinic, P21c,a = 9.513(5), b = 9.361(3), c = 30.908(13) Å, β = 98.42(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 0.057 (F >5 σ(F)). In the BF 4- salt (12), the four P-C distances are equal (1.791(5)-1.801(7) Å) with identical tetrahedral angles. For the two triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate compounds, the fourth P-C(1) bond is shorter (1.762(6)-1.734(5) Å) than the three P-C(Ph) bonds (avg. 1.809(5) Å). The angles C(1)-P-C(Ph) are also larger (avg. 112.9(2)° for 6β and 111.9(2)° for 7α) than the C(Ph)-P-C(Ph) angles (avg. 105.8(2)° for 6 β and 106.9(2)° for 7α). These values suggest a multiple nature for the P-C(1) bond. In the nitro derivative, the nitro and the ester groups are disordered equally in positions 2 and 6. Key words: Wittig reactions, cyclic anhydrides, stabilized ylide, phosphoranylidenes, crystal structures.

3,4,5-Trichloroguaiacol, which is formed during bleaching of chemical pulp and shown to bioaccumulate in fish, has been synthesized. The structure of the compound has been determined by means of X-ray analysis. The values of the 13C nmr chemical shifts and melting point differ from those previously reported. A reaction mechanism is suggested for the formation of 3,4,5- and 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacol.

An efficient gram scale synthesis of the previously unknown 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthenone (3b) is reported. The facile isomerization of epoxide 9b to ketone 3b occurs simply on stirring a solution of 9b with silica gel at room temperature. Aldol cyclotrimerization of 3b with titanium tetrachloride gives 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa-tert-butylde cacyclene (1b) in 58% isolated yield. X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for the synthetic intermediates 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthene (2b) and 4,7-di-tert-butylacenaphthylene (8b).Key words: aromatic, decacyclene, hydrocarbon, nonalternant, polycyclic.
