3,3-Diethyl-and 3,3-dibenzyl-1,2-diferrocenylcyclopropenes.

Reactions of 2,3-diferrocenylcyclopropenone 1 with ethyl- and benzylmagnesium chlorides afford 3,3-diethyl-and 3,3-dibenzyl- 1,2-diferrocenylcyclopropenes 2 and 3, respectively, and products of nucleophilic opening of the three-membered ring resulting from the addition of RMgCl to the carbonyl group, viz., saturated ketones(4,5-diferrocenylheptan-3-ones 4a,b and 3,4-diferrocenyl-1,5-diphenylpentan-2-ones 5a,b as ca. 3: 1 mixtures of two diastereomers) and other products. The spatial structures of compounds 2 and 4a were established by X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals. Protonation of the cyclopropenes 2 and 3 with tetrafluoroboric acid at -40 degrees C yields the corresponding 3,3-dialkyl-1 ,2-diferrocenylcyclopropylium tetrafluoroborates. Transformation of the latter into diferrocenylallylic cations upon increasing the temperature to 20 degrees C and their eprotonation under the action of N,N-dimethylaniline were studied. Electrochemical investigation of 1 and 2 shows that in both complexes the cyclopropene spacer allows electronic communication between the two outer ferrocenyl groups, this being notably greater for 2 than for 1.

O-(2-tert-butyl-6-dimethylthiocarbamoyl-4-methylphenyl) N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate dichloromethane solvate.

In the title compound, C(17)H(26)N(2)OS(2).CH(2)Cl(2), the C=S distances are 1.650 (4) and 1.679 (3) A, and the torsion angle between the planes of the thiocarbamate and carbonothioyl fragments is 54.4 (2) degrees. The steric and electronic effects that these substituents exert on one another determine the observed anti configuration with respect to the phenyl C atoms to which they are attached.

2-[3-Furyl(hydroxy)methyl]-2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone.

Contribution No. 1750 of the Instituto de Quimica, UNAM, Mexico. In the molecule of the title compound, C(13)H(18)O(3), there is a syn relationship between the two vicinal methyl groups. The six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation, with one equatorial and two axial groups, and the furyl group is almost parallel to the ketone group. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds [O[bond]H...O[double bond]C 2.814 (3) A] form chains along [100].

A novel cacalolide from Psacalium decompositum.

A new cacalolide sesquiterpenoid, named as Romo-A, was isolated from the roots of Psacalium decompositum, Asteraceae, a Mexican medicinal shrub with antidiabetic properties. Its structure was elucidated by NMR, MS, IR, UV, and confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.
