Zur Struktur der Produkte der Reaktion vonE/Z-1-Benzolsulfonyl-3-(1-pentenyl)-indol mit N-Phenylmaleinimid: Ein erster Beitrag zur Konfigurations- und Konformationsanalyse in der Vinylindol-Cycloadditionsreihe

The products2,3 of the reaction ofE/Z-1-benzenesulfonyl-3-(1-pentenyl)-indole (1) and N-phenylmaleimide were analysed by1H-NMR spectroscopy. Exemplarily, the structure elucidation of theendo-cyclo-adduct2 b was achieved by using several NMR techniques (diff. NOE-, INDOR-measurements, decoupling experiments, spectra simulation). The1H-NMR-spectroscopically gained prediction of relative configuration and conformation of2 b was supported on X-ray analysis. The cyclohexene ring of the new cycloadducts adopts in the liquid phase and in the crystal a slightly twisted boat conformation.

Synthese und Absolute Konfiguration von (+)-1-Amino-2-propanthiol·HCl / Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of ( + )-1-Amino-2-propanethiol · HCl

)-4a- The structure of (-)-5-methyl-2-phenylthiazolidine (( -)-4a), an intermediate in the synthesis of (+)-1-amino-2-propanethiol · HCl ((+)-2 · HCl), was elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In contrast to earlier findings it was shown that the important intermediate ( -)-4a is not a single diastereomer but represents a 1:1 mixture of (2R,5Sand ((2S,5S)-4a-diastereomers. The absolute configuration of the (2S,3S)-di-O-(4-toluoyl)tartrate of the disulfide (5) derived from (+)-2 · HCl was determined to be (S,S) using X-ray technique.
