O a-substituted

Growth of S. schenckii at 25° gave a structural component whose C-l signal at 8C 102.3 was assigned by comparison with those of 4-O-a-D-mannopyranosyl-Q ,/3-D-mannose (C-l, 102.8), and O-a-D-manno-pyranosyl-(l— 4)-0-a-D-mannopyranosyl-(l— 4)-a,/3-D-mannose (C-l and C-l", 102.5 and 102.8), obtained on partial hydrolysis.53 As 2-O-a-substitution of an a-D-mannopyranosyl group causes the C-l signals to move upheld by 1.6 p.p.m., the signal at 8C 100.3 probably arose from 2,4-di-O-substituted a-D-mannopyranosyl residues, as in 18 and 19. 

O ,a -Substitution. Fluoro substitution results in some deactivation, while the cyano (Table 1) and carboxylate seem to have only moderate effects. 

The first reaction was involved in a synthesis of morphine, the starting ketone being made by reduction of a substituted naphthalene O. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1950, 72, 3704). No doubt an epoxide could have been used as the electrophile. 

Although resorcinol [108-46-3], C H O, a dihydric phenol, is a comparatively weak bactericide, a nuclear-substituted alkyl derivative, -hexylresorcinol [136-77-6], has a phenol coefficient of 45, and has had considerable use as a topical antiseptic. 

Only the anion (239) is susceptible to C-alkylation in the 4-position. The two other anions (240) and (241) can only give rise to O-and A-substituted derivatives which result in the asymmetry of Scheme 19. 

O-Alkylation of A-unsubstituted /3-lactams to give the corresponding 2-alkoxy-l- etines can be achieved by reaction of the azetidin-2-ones with hard electrophiles (trialkyloxonium tetrafluoroborates) followed by treatment with base (cf. Section 5.09.4.3.1) (67JHC619, 69LA(725)124). In contrast, reaction of the A-unsubstituted azetidin-2-ones (73) or their derived anions with a variety of softer electrophiles results in A-substitution, and some representative reactions are illustrated in Scheme 7. 

This expression is valid for a single observation y. For multiple observations, we derive p(y Q) from the fact that p(y i, O-) = Ilip yi i, G-). The result is that the likelihood is also normal with the average value of y, y, substituted for y and o -hi substituted for G in Eq. (14). The conjugate prior distribution for Eq. (14) is... 

Systems 2 and 3 are cross-conjugated, but 5 is not, and it might have been expected that a-substituted compounds would be more prone to exist in the aromatic form 1 than the -compounds to exist as 4. From the limited evidence available, the reverse appears to be the case. When the hetero atom is not a very strong electron donor, i.e., Z — S or O, structure 3 would be expected to be relatively more stable than 2, and this is supported by the evidence available. When Z = NR, the difference in the stabilities of 2 and 3 could be smaller. 

Now, A can be calculated to first-order by substituting / = /o + A into Boltz-man s equation (equation 9.32), using the approximation introduced in equation 9.60, and assuming that A << /o ... 

We said in A Preview ofCnrbonyl Compounds that much of the chemistry of carbonyl compounds can be explained by just four fundamental reaction types nucleophilic additions, nucleophilic acyl substitutions, o substitutions, and carbonyl condensations. Having studied the first two of these reactions in the past three chapters, let s now look in more detail at the third major carbonyl-group process—the a-substitution reaction. 

The halogenation is a typical a-substitution reaction that proceeds by acid-catalyzecl formation o.f an enol intermediate, as shown in Figure 22.4. 

Attempts have been made to catalyze the arrangement of 3-oxaquadricyclane to oxepins with transition-metal complexes.1 32 1 35 When dimethyl 2,4-dimethyl-3-oxaquadricyclane-l,5-dicarboxylate is treated with bis(benzonitrile)dichloroplatinum(II) or dicarbonylrhodium chloride dimer, an oxepin with a substitution pattern different from that following thermolysis is obtained as the main product. Instead of dimethyl 2,7-dimethyloxepin-4,5-dicarboxylate, the product of the thermal isomerization, dimethyl 2,5-dimethyloxepin-3,4-dicarboxylate (12), is formed due to the cleavage of a C O bond. This transition metal catalyzed cleavage accounts also for the formation of a 6-hydroxyfulvene [(cyclopentadienylidene)methanol] derivative (10-15%) and a substituted phenol (2-6%) as minor products.135 The proportion of reaction products is dependent on solvent, catalyst, and temperature.

For trisubstituted olefins, the nucleophile attacks predominantly at the less substituted end of the allyl moiety, e.g. to afford a 78 22 mixture of 13 and 14 (equation 7). Both the oxidative addition of palladium(O) and the subsequent nucleophilic attack occur with inversion of configuration to give the product of net retention7. The synthesis of the sex pheromone 15 of the Monarch butterfly has been accomplished by using bis[bis(l,2-diphenylphosphinoethane)]palladium as a catalyst as outlined in equation 87. A substitution of an allyl sulfone 16 by a stabilized carbon nucleophile, such as an alkynyl or vinyl system, proceeds regioselectively in the presence of a Lewis acid (equation 9)8. The... 

In nitrobenzene the nitro group has a large electron affinity, and accordingly draws electrons away from the ring. The resonance effect works in the same direction, and, as a result, all positions have a deficiency of electrons. The meta positions are least affected, and the substitution takes place there with difficulty. In aniline, the inductive effect and the resonance effect oppose each other, but the latter wins out, and very easy o-p substitution takes place.
