Ethers, cyclic, spectra

Cyclic ethers, cyclic acetals, and some vinyl compounds can be polymerized by cationic processes. Photoinitiation of these polymerizations by ultraviolet light are known (12,106). Some extension of direct photolytic sensitization of cationic processes to visible wavelengths is obtained by the use of colored diazonium salts as initiators. For example, Schlesinger (11a) used diazonium salts substituted in the para position with electron withdrawing groups, but sensitivity was limited to the blue to green regions of the spectrum.

As mentioned above, we planned to obtain optically pure styrenyl ethers through Zr-catalyzed kinetic resolution [5] subsequent metal-catalyzed rearrangement would afford optically pure chromenes. However, as shown in Scheme 11, the recovered starting material (40) was obtained with <10% ee (at 60% conversion) upon treatment with 10 mol% (,R)-(EBTHI)Zr-binol (3b) and five equivalents of EtMgCl (70°C, THF). We conjectured that, since the (EBT-HI)Zr-catalyzed reaction provides efficient resolution only when asymmetric alkylation occurs at the cyclic alkene site, competitive reaction at the styrenyl terminal olefin renders the resolution process ineffective. Analysis of the H NMR spectrum of the unpurified reaction mixture supported this contention. Indeed, as shown in Scheme 11, catalytic resolution of disubstituted styrene 49... 

The sulfuric acid treated aliquot representing the blank forms a cyclic ether anhydroerythromycin.10 The alkaline treatment causes the formation of an unsaturated ketone (9-keto-10-ene) having its absorbance maximum as a shoulder at 236 nm. (e 6000).n i2 Thus, any other UV absorbing species are measured with the blank and subtracted from the absorbance before calculation of the erythromycin concentration. A typical spectrum is shown in Figure 4. 

Acetates. Because of the significant interest in selective acetylation reactions of sucrose, the need for a convenient and unambiguous method of identification has been recognized (34,35). The position of an acetyl group in a partially acetylated sucrose derivative can be ascertained by comparison of its H-nmr acetyl methyl proton resonances after per-deuterio acetylation with those of the assigned octaacetate spectrum. The synthesis of partially acetylated sucroses has generally been achieved either by way of selectively protected derivatives such as trityl ethers and cyclic acetals or by direct selective acetylation and deacetylation reactions. 

Quinoline364 and isoquinoline behave much like pyridine toward DMAD, and only the more interesting reactions will be noted. Isoquinoline in ether at -60° with DMAD and carbon dioxide gives, via the postulated intermediate 295, zwitterion 296 (m.p. 83°-84°), which is far more stable than its pyridine analogs (cf. 2).365 Its stereochemistry has not been established but its IR spectrum shows absorption due to the carboxylate anion and excludes the cyclic formulation 297. Replacing the carbon dioxide by ethyl carbonate gives 298.366 In wet ether the... 

Phenylcoumarone (VIII) has a characteristic ultraviolet and ioniza-tion-Ae spectrum, which enabled us to detect dimeric structures of this type in reaction mixtures obtained when Bjorkman spruce lignin was subjected to acidolysis for 20 hours. From the spectrophotometric estimation of the amount of the phenylcoumarone systems formed, we concluded that from a total of 100 phenylpropane units of Bjorkman lignin, about 20 are involved in phenylcoumaran systems (I) in other words, about every 10th phenylpropane unit is linked to one of its neighbors by the cyclic benzyl aryl ether linkage characteristic of I. 

Additionally, substantial effects on the fullerene-centered reduction steps due to cation complexation by the tangential and proximal dibenzo-crown ether were observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) for ( )-37 [30,55] (Figure 16). The CV was recorded both in the presence of one equivalent of [2.2.2]cryptand and in the presence of ten equivalents of KPF6. The cryptand was added to ensure that the species observed initially was uncomplexed, since peaks corresponding with the Na+ and K+ complexes were observed in the FAB mass spectrum of... 

An NMR spectrum would readily distinguish between these possibilities. For example, the vinyl ether would show a methyl singlet at about 5 3-4, the middle structure would show a 4H multiplet at 8 3-4, and the epoxide would show a methyl doublet at about 5 1.0-1.5. The presence of a band at about 1650 cm-1 in the IR spectrum (C=C stretch) would indicate that the compound is the vinyl ether (the first of the three compounds) and not the cyclic ethers. 

We have excluded pathways which might involve concerted decomposition of dioxyphosphoranes to cyclic ethers with retention of stereochemistry at least for symmetrical 1,2-diols by examining the reaction of d, l-2,3-butanediol with DTPP. The C NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture is consistent only with the cis epoxide exhibiting resonances at 6 12.9 and 52.4 ppm. 

Block et al.194 examined the effects of trimethylsilyl substitution on the first vertical ionization potentials by photoelectron and Penning ionization electron spectroscopy studies of a range of cyclic and noncyclic sulfides and ethers. It was shown that substitution of oxirane 218 with a trimethylsilyl substituent as in 219 lowered the ionization potential by 0.90 eV (20.8 kcal/mol), while similar substitution of dimethyl ether 220 in 221 lowered the ionization potential by 0.64 eV (14.8 kcal/mol). By comparison, the effects of silyl substitution on sulfur lone-pair ionization potentials was found to be smaller thus the ionization potential of dimethyl sulfide 222 is lowered by 0.37 eV upon trimethylsilyl substitution in 223, and the trimethylsilyl-substituted thiirane 225 is lowered by 0.59 eV relative to thiirane 224. The raising of the energy of the sulfur lone-pair electrons in the thiirane 225 is also apparent from its UV spectrum, where there is a bathochromic shift in the absorption maximum compared to the parent 224. 

The starting material for the present synthesis was Wieland-Miescher ketone (24), which was converted to the known alcohol (25) by the published procedure [10], Tetrahydropyranylation of alcohol (25) followed by hydroboration-oxidation afforded the alcohol (26), which on oxidation produced ketone (27). Reduction of (27) with metal hydride gave the alcohol (28) (56%). This in cyclohexane solution on irradiation with lead tetraacetate and iodine produced the cyclic ether that was oxidized to obtain the keto-ether (29). Subjection of the keto-ether (29) to three sequential reactions (formylation, Michael addition with methyl vinyl ketone and intramolecular aldol condensation) provided tricyclic ether (30) whose NMR spectrum showed it to be a mixture of C-10 epimers. The completion of the synthesis of pisiferic acid (1) did not require the separation of epimers and thus the tricyclic ether (30) was used for the next step. The conversion of (30) to tricyclic phenol (31) was... 

Here is a simple example, the four-membered cyclic ether oxetane. Its NMR spectrum has a 4H triplet for the two identical CH2 groups next to oxygen and a 2H quintet for the CH2 in the middle. Each proton Hx sees four identical neighbours (HA) and is split equally by them all to give a... 

The ESR spectrum of a cyclic and methylated derivative of the enol ether-type radical cation formed in Eq. 17 is shown in Figure 3. 

In the nmr spectrum of oxirane, the protons 3 to the oxygen display a small chemical shift compared to that of the j3 protons of larger cyclic ethers this can only be explained by the shielding effect of the abnormal electron density, which assumes a low electron density around the oxygen, as suggested earlier on theoretical grounds. The proton chemical shifts for various substituted oxiranes are given in a number of reviews and handbooks. ...
