Methyl ring structure

The existence of two forms of glucose and of two isomeric methyl glucosides, as well as other experimental evidence, have led to the adoption of the ring structures (I) and (II) ... 

Elementary considerations indicate that with appropriate substitutions some of the reactions mentioned above can be eliminated. Indeed, when 5-methyl-2-vinyl-furan was used, no alkylation was observed, the positions C-3 and C-4 being rather unreactive16, and the polymer was a mixture of linear chains with polyunsaturations and linear saturated chains, i.e. only structures like 21, 23 and 26 were present, with a 5-methyl ring instead of the 5-unsubstituted one. When 2-isopropenylfuran was used, no hydride transfer took place since this requires a hydrogen atom in the a-position to the ring, which this monomer does not have the polymers were white and gave electronic spectra transparent down to 280 nm. Alkylation at C-5, how-... 

Tocopherols come in various forms only slightly different from the a-tocopherol shown in the structural formula above. Its (3 and y forms differ in where the methyl groups are attached to the ring structure. An ingredients list may single out the a form, or may just list mixed tocopherols. ... 

In 1947, L-rhamnose was first recognized by Stacey as a constituent of Pneumococcus Type II specific polysaccharide. This finding was confirmed, in 1952, by Kabat et al. and in 1955 again by Stacey when 2,4- and 2,5-di-O-methyl-L-rhamnose were synthesized and the former was shown to be identical with a di-O-methylrhamnose, obtained by hydrolysis of the methylated polysaccharide. This result indicated a pyranose ring structure for the rhamnose units in the polysaccharide. Announcement of the identification of D-arabinofuranose as a constituent of a polysaccharide from M. tuberculosis aroused considerable interest. The L-enantiomer had been found extensively in polysaccharides, but reports of the natural occurrence of D-arabinose had been comparatively rare. To have available reference compounds for comparison with degradation products of polysaccharides, syntheses of derivatives (particularly methyl ethers) of both d- and L-arabinose were reported in 1947.

The process of lactonization and enolization of 2-keto esters under the influence of alkaline reagents has also been applied to the production of analogs of L-ascorbic acid containing a six-membered ring structure.22 For example, methyl 3,4,6-trimethyl-2-keto-D-gluconate (XLI) is treated... 

Metallocenes with substituted cyclopentadienyl rings. Metallocenes with methylated rings were among the first heavy alkaline earth metallocenes to be structurally characterized, but many other substituents have been incorporated into bis(cyclopentadienyl) complexes. Under this classification are included compounds with indenyl ligands, which in... 

In view of the activity of 13, but the lack of activity for the alpha-ethyl homolog of DOM, the two isomeric ring-methylated derivatives Structures 16a and 16b were recently prepared (114). Neither isomer showed significant activity, either as an agonist in the rat fundus preparation or in a mouse assay, when compared with 13. It would appear that little bulk can be tolerated near the alpha-carbon, other than a methyl or methylene. 

The indifference of /3-fructofuranosidase towards substitution in the afructon part of sucrose is contrasted by its extreme sensitivity towards any change in the structure and configuration of the fructon. Change from the furanose to the pyranose ring structure in methyl /3-D-fructoside is incompatible with the action of /3-fructofuranosidase.60... 

Constitutional studies have broadly followed the pattern of methyla-tion of the unsubstituted alcoholic groups in a carbohydrate, hydrolytic or oxidative disruption of the molecule and identification of the resulting methylated fragments. In this way methyl ethers have been invaluable in the determination of the ring structures of the monosaccharides and in the elucidation of the constitutions of the more complex saccharides. 

Intramolecular 3 - - 2-photocycloadditions of alkenyl methyl 1,4-naphthalenedicarb-oxylates (39) yield 3- -2-cycloadducts (40) having 9-11-membered ring systems in addition to the characteristic flve-membered ring structure (Scheme 13). ... 

Extension of this condensation to mixed ketones (95) provided further confirmation for the above interpretation. Thus, methyl ethyl ketone and p-chlorophenylbiguanide gave successively the triazine derivatives (CXXVIII) and (CXXIX). The latter (CXXIX) was resolvable into its enantiomers by (+)-tartaric acid this observation supports the six-membered ring structure of (CXXIX) and, because of the very gentle conditions of its isomerisation, that of its isomer (CXXVIII).

Stilbenes (from the Greek stilbos, glistening, after shiny crystals), are two-ring structures of the C6-C2-C6 type examples are pinosylvin and pinosylvin methyl ether (Fig. 11.2). They play a role as antifeedants for mammals.
