The AIH,C1 hydrogenolysis of ether solutions of 2-alkoxytetrahydrofurans in which the alkoxy group is either CH,O, C,H50, i-C,H,O, or t-C4Hg0, gives only those products resulting from ring C 4 bond cleavage. However, substituents at C-5 of 2-methoxytetrahydrofuran exert a strong effect on the ratio of ring to exo C 4 bond cleavage. Thus, alkyl (electron donor) groups at C-5 promote an increase in the amount of exo cleavage, the proportion increasing from 62.5 to 100% as the C-5 alkyl group is changed from CH, to I-C,Hg. In contrast, electron withdrawing substituents, CH,OCH,-and C,H,, at C-5 favor ring cleavage to the extent of 93 and 84% respectively.The results are interpreted in terms of the influence that these substituents exert through their electronic properties on the relative ease of attainment of the transition state leading to either ring C 4 or exo C-0 bond cleavage. However, evidence is provided to show that the bulk steric effect of these substituents also controls, though to a minor extent, the proportion of ring to exo cleavage.Les hydrogenolyses par AIH,CI de solutions etherees de tdtrahydrofurannes alcoolates-2, oh le group alcoolate est soit CH,O, C,H,O, I-C,H,O, ou t-C4H,0, conduisent uniquement aux produits resultant de la rupture de la liaison C-0 du cycle. Cependant, les substituants sur C-5 dans le methoxy-2 tetrahydrofuranne, exercent un effet important sur le rapport: rupture de la liaison C 4 du cycle sur rupture de la liaison C-0 exocyclique. C'est ainsi que des groupes alkyles (donneurs d'tlectrons) sur C-5 favorisent le pourcentage de clivage exocyclique; les pourcentages augmentant de 62.5 a 100% si le groupe alkyle passe de CH, a t-C4Hg. Au contraire, des substituants en C-5 attracteurs d'electrons, CH,OCH,-et C,H5, favorisent la rupture du cycle jusqu'a des proportions de 93 et 84% respectivement.Les resultats sont interpretes en fonction de I'influence qu'exercent ces substituants, par leurs proprietes electroniques, sur la facilite relative de formation de I'btat de transition conduisant ulterieurement a la rupture de la liaison C 4 soit du cycle soit exocyclique. Cependant, des preuves ont ete apportks afin de montrer que I'encombrement sterique de ces substituants contrBle egalement, bien qu'a un degre moindre, les proportions de clivage cyclique et exocyclique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
