Oxygenation pattern ortho

A recent detailed 220-MHz PMR study has led to the correction of the structure originally proposed for fetidine. The most telling feature in that study was the presence of an AB quartet centered at 86.75 (IH) and 6.81 (IH), J = 8.5 Hz. This pattern is indicative of the presence in fetidine of an ortho pair of aromatic protons. The revised structure of fetidine is shown in Scheme 12.1, Thus fetidine is the first aporphine-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid known to possess the 2",3",4"-oxygenation pattern on the benzyl ring. ... 

Electron microscopic observations of the Ortho-III phase have been reported far less than of the Ortho-II phase [7.8, 7.34, 7.35]. Clear evidence for the occurrence of this phase is given in the [001] diffraction of Fig. 7.4(d). Due to the short structural coherence length of this phase, the results could not be confirmed either by X-ray, or by neutron diffraction. The Ortho-III phase ideally appears at an oxygen deficiency 0 =, and compared to the Ortho-I phase, has one out of three CuiOi chains depleted of oxygen in an ordered succession. (See Fig. 7.2(c)). Lattice parameters are am 3ai, bm b and cm c. The tripling of the unit-cell is reflected in the diffraction pattern by the appearance of two superstructure spots at positions h+ kl and h + kl. Superstructure spots for the Ortho-III phase are always very broad, due to substantial disorder in the cell-tripling alternation, or to the limited size of the domains. 

Wastes containing PAHs may be effectively destroyed by various incineration processes as mentioned briefly in the above section. Weber et al. (2001) have studied the mechanisms of formation of polychlorinated diben-zofurans (PCDF), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCN) and polychlorinated benzenes (PCBz) from the degradation of PAHs in two types of incinerators, the stoker type- and the fluidized bed incinerators. Their studies have revealed the occurrence of a sequence of steps, such as the cleavage of C-C bond in the PAHs, chlorination at these cleaved positions, further chlorination or oxygen insertion at the ortho positions to the chlorine atoms in the intermediate chlorinated species. A perylene structure in soot is proposed as the basis for the observed PCDF pattern in the fluidized bed incinerators. Polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDD) and the polychlorinated... 

Naphthol is arylated at the peri position selectively (Eq. 45) [35,42]. Interestingly, phenol itself and 4-substituted derivatives are multiply arylated around the oxygen up to five times in the presence of excess aryl bromides to selectively give 2-biphenyl-6-terphenylphenols (Eq. 46) [114]. The reaction is considered to involve two mechanistic patterns i.e., the reactions of ArPd(II) intermediates with (a) phenolates at the ortho position, this being similar to the a-arylation of ketones, and (b) thus formed biphenyl-2-ols as in Eq. 44. While the latter proceeds in both DMF and xylene, use of the less polar solvent is essential for the former to effectively occur. A relevant coupling of phenols with... 

The characteristic feature of this type of Cig-diterpenoid alkaloids is the presence of an oxygenated functionality at C-7. Like that of aconitine type, these alkaloids are also subdivided into amines, imines, amides, and iV,0-mixed acetals based upon the substitution pattern of the nitrogen. A total of 11 lycoctonine-type Ci9-diterpenoid alkaloids (32-42) have been obtained between 2009 and Feb. 2012. Compoxmds 32-35 possess a benzoyl ester moiety at C-18 with a variety of amide groups in the ortho position. Anthriscifoldine A (36) [30] and delphidenine (37) [39] are identical compounds reported by different research groups almost at the same time from D. anthriscifolium and D. densiflorum, respectively.
