Ligand scrambling reactions in cyano(thione)gold(I) complexes ([>C=S-Au-CN]) to form [Au(>C=S)2]+ and [Au(CN)2]– species have been investigated for a series of thiones in DMSO using 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy. Rapid approach to equilibrium occurred and resulted in distinct signals for the [>C=S-Au-CN] and [Au(CN)2]– complexes, both in 13C and 15N NMR. Equilibrium constants (Keq) were determined for scrambling of all the complexes by integrating the CN resonances in the 13C NMR recorded at 298 K. The influence of various factors (initial concentration, ionic strength, temperature, and solvent polarity) on the Keq value was examined for a representative complex (ImtAuCN (Imt = Imidazolidine-2-thione)).Key words: cyanogold(I) complexes, thiones, ligand scrambling, NMR, Keq.

The chemical structure of 5 different products of pyridostigmine obtained by reduction with NaBH4 was determined by GC-MS and subsequently confirmed by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Reaction conditions leading almost exclusively to the main product: 3-[(N,N-dimethyl)-carbamoyl]-1-m ethyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (4) have been determined.

Although many techniques are known which allow one to compare the stabilities of solution carbocations, that involving the intermolecular competition for a hydride ion is conceptually (but not experimentally) the simplest procedure. This paper describes a variant of this which is experimentally more reliable and which uses intramolecular equilibria where the two competing systems are held together by a —(CH2)n— chain, e.g.[Formula: see text]By systematically varying "n" in this example (n = 0, 1,2, or 3), it has been found that a methylene chain of two or more carbons is necessary in order to minimize steric interactions between the end "systems". It has also been found that all cycloalkyl rings studied (except cyclohexyl) stabilize a cation centre much better than an aliphatic equivalent, i.e. [Formula: see text], in agreement with solvolysis rate studies. The same situation was found when comparing this aliphatic "system" against the 2-norbornyl cation (bicyclic) or against the tricyclic 2-adamantyl cation. In fact, in these cases the equilibria are too lop-sided to obtain numerical values for the equilibrium constants concerned. Finally, three carbocations were looked at where the 2-norbornyl cation structure was pitted against the structurally very related cyclopentyl, bicyclo[2.1.1]hexyl, and bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl cations. In all cases, the 2-norbornyl cation is the more stable. 13C nmr spectroscopy was used as the analytical tool to measure (or attempt to measure) the equilibrium constants. Depending on the rate of the equilibration process, three different techniques are involved and the relative merits of these are discussed in the latter part of the paper.

The position of substituents at C-5 or C-6 of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines can be determined by 13C NMR spectroscopy. The method can also be used for 7-deazanucleosides and allows the assignment of the position of side chains.

Oxidative fluorination of diphenyl sulfoxide with xenon difluoride occurs under mild conditions in the presence of chloride ion to give Ph2S(O)F2 in quantitative yield. Chloride ion appears to react with xenon difluoride to generate fluoride ion, and a mechanism of oxidative fluorination is proposed that involves anionic Ph2S(O)F− and radical Ph2S(O)F• intermediates. Addition of cationic Ph2S(O)F+ to Ph2S(O)F2 initiates rapid fluorine exchange, presumably via a symmetrical fluorine-bridged intermediate, and this exchange process was monitored by 13C and 19F NMR spectroscopy. In the presence of chloride ion, Ph2S(O)Cl2 is formed and can be identified by 13C NMR and by its hydrolysis to Ph2SO2. Mechanisms are proposed for these reactions, and ab initio molecular orbital calculations (GAUSSIAN92) were carried out of the postulated intermediates. Key words: preparation of Ph2S(O)F2, Ph2S(O)F+, and Ph2S(O)Cl2; oxidative fluorination in the Ph2SO–XeF2–Cl− system; fluorine exchange in the Ph2S(O)F2–Ph2S(O)F+ system.

The acid-base equilibria of a diprotic, slightly hydrosoluble base ketoconazole were studied in homogeneous and heterogeneous water systems. The determinations were performed at 25?C at a constant ionic strength of M(NaCl). The acidity constant Ka1 was determined by potentiometric (pKa1 3.20) and spectrophotometric (pKa1 3.26) methods. A pKa2 constant of 6.10 was obtained based on the equilibrium constants pKs0 4.84 and pKs1 -1.26, determined in a heterogeneous ketoconazole system. The obtained values of the constants served to calculate the solubility and the distribution of the equilibrium forms of ketoconazole as a function of pH. On the basis of the distribution of the equilibrium forms of ketoconazole, a spectrophotometric method for the determination of its content in commercial tablets was developed. The determinations were performed at 225 nm in 0.1 M HCl. The method is simple and rapid and enables the direct spectrophotometric determination of the content of ketoconazole without previous isolation.
