Rate constant data and Arrhenius parameters have been determined for a series of substituted hexenyl radicals of differing electronic and steric demand. Electron-withdrawing groups (CF3, CO2Et) directly attached to the radical centre slighly accelerate 5-exo ring-closure (kcis + ktrans ∼ 2.1 × 105 s−1 at 25°) relative to donating groups (OMe; 1.6 × 105 s−1 at 25°). Sterically demanding groups (tert-Bu)
已针对一系列具有不同电子和空间需求的取代己烯基确定了速率常数数据和Arrhenius参数。相对于捐赠基团(OMe ),直接连接至自由基中心的吸电子基团(CF 3,CO 2 Et)缓慢促进5- exo闭环(25°时k cis + k trans〜2.1 ×10 5 s -1) ;在25°时为1.6×10 5 s -1)。如预期的那样,对空间要求较高的组(叔-Bu )减慢环化过程(1×10 5 s -1)。这些观察结果与5 - exo闭环的活化能的细微变化是一致的。有趣的是,溶剂的性质似乎对该化学有重大影响,随着溶剂极性的增加,顺式/反式立体选择性有时会提高。除了包含CF 3(吸电子)基团的系统显示出环化/捕获速率常数(k c / k H)增加外,k c / k H普遍下降。记录随着溶剂极性增加的比率;据推测,这些变化主要是由于所用各种溶剂中k H的变化引起的。
Oxidative deprotonation of carbonyl compounds by Fe(III) salts
Iron (III) salts (perchlorate and nitrate nonahydrate) in acetonitrile or acetic anhydride at 0–50°C oxidize the ∝-position of malonic esters efficiently via the corresponding radicals. In the presence of olefins and aromatics, inter- and intramolecular free radical chain or oxidative additions are observed.

The cyclic condensation of active methylene compounds such as diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, ethyl acetoacetate, or acetylacetone and dibromoalkanes such as 1,2-dibromoethane, 1,3-dibromopropane, 1,4-dibromobutane, 1,5-dibromopentane, 1,6-dibromohexane, 1,3-dibromobutane, or 1,4-dibromopentane with electrogenerated superoxide ion was studied electrochemically in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled potential macro-electrolysis. The CV shows that electrogenerated superoxide ion reacts with both active methylene compounds and dibromoalkanes in the dissolved oxygen medium. Controlled potential macro-electrolysis of the above components generally yielded cycloalkanes as the main products. In comparison, the chemical method using sodium ethoxide was also carried out. Two reaction mechanisms via the proton abstraction of active methylene compounds with electrogenerated superoxide ion and via the nucleophilic attack of the superoxide ion on dibromoalkanes are presented.

To further study the putative gamma-butyrolactone site of the GABA(A)/chloride channel complex, constrained derivatives of convulsant and anticonvulsant alpha,alpha-disubstituted gamma-butyrolactones (alpha-spirocyclopropyl- and alpha-spirocyclopentyl-gamma-butyrolactones) were synthesized and evaluated biologically. Most of the spirocyclopropyl agents were anticonvulsants when tested against pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in mice. These agents effectively displaced (35)[S]-tert-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ((35)[S] -TBPS), a ligand for the picrotoxin binding site of the GABA(A)/chloride channel, from rat neuronal membranes and affected the GABA-mediated current in hippocampal neurons. The monomethyl-substituted spirocyclopropyl agent with a methyl group cis to the carbonyl (15) potentiates GABA-induced current whereas the trans derivative (16) blocks the current. The only anticonvulsant in the spirocyclopentyl series was the unsubstituted spirocyclopentyl compound 2. All the other substituted spirocyclopentyl targets were inactive in vivo at the highest dose tested except for convulsant 9, which has a trans 2,5-dimethyl-substituted cyclopentyl ring. All the spirocyclopentyl derivatives displaced (35)[S]-TBPS from rat neuronal membranes very effectively, and they also all potentiated GABA-induced chloride current except for convulsant 9 which blocked the current. From the data obtained in this investigation, it appears that when the volume occupied above and below the lactone ring is as large as that occupied by spirocyclopentyl agent 9, convulsant activity is observed. Groups with less volume in these areas either are inactive in the behavioral test or have anticonvulsant activity. When bound to the GABA(A)/chloride channel, the larger molecules may stabilize the closed state of the channel whereas the smaller molecules may stabilize the open state.
