Relations of cis-trans Isomerism to Asymmetric Oxidation of Sugars* BY
M. R. EVERETT AND
Richtmyer and Hudson2 receiitly reported the interesting phenomenon of unequal quantitative reduction of alkaline copper reagents by d- and Z-forms of aldoses, when d- or 1-tartaric acids were used in Shaffer-Hartman-Somogyi reagents. IVe have now completed similar experiments with d - , 1- and meso-tartrate Folin-Wu reagents3 The I-tartaric acid employed was prepared by the method described by Richtmyer and Hudson, and had thecorrect [ a I 2 k-I-&*. Thed- and mesotartaric acids were Central Scientific Co. and Eastman Kodak Co. products with [ c t l l Z o ~+ I 4 and +0.05', respectively. The sugar solutions and special reagents4 were freshly prepared, immediately before analysis. Several concentrations of each sugar were investigated and compared with suitable d-glucose standards. Determinations were made under strictly comparable conditions. The results reported in Table I are the reducing equivalents relative to d-glucose and d-tartrate reagent taken as 1.00 and are averages of four or more determinations. Corrections for moisture content of sugars and proportionality of the analytical method have been applied.

copper reagents used by Richtmyer and Hudson, but both investigations show that d-forms of arabinose, fructose and mannose and 1-forms of fucose and rhamnose select the I-tartrate reagent ; d-forms of galactose, lactose and mannoketoheptose and I-arabinose select the d-tartrate reagent; and d-forms of glucose and xylose show little selectivity. For sugars not investigated by Richtmyer and Hudson, we find that d-forms of maltose, melibiose and ribose select the I-tartrate reagent ; d-forms of galacturonic and glycuronic acids, mannoheptose and sorbose select the dreagent ; d-forms of cellobiose, gentiobiose, glucosamine and lyxose and 1-forms of ascorbic acid, sorbose and xylose are not very selective. Our i;lieso-tartrate reagent is reduced more than either of the trans reagents by d-forms of cellobiose, gentiobiose, glycuronic acid, lactose, maltose, Qmannoheptose, mannoketoheptose and mannose. It is evident from these results that asymmetric oxidation of sugars bears no simple relation to ordinary optical or planar isomerism, and is influenced by extraplanar molecular relations (group substitution, cis-trans relations, etc.). The reducing values of Table I are definitely related to the cis-trans classification of sugars suggested by the a ~ t h o r s . ~ This , ~ arrangement of sugars in eight cis -trans groups, corresponding to the eight aldopentoses, is reproduced in Table 11. Oxidation in alkaline solution is complicated by mutarotation and epimerization, and recently IsbelP has shown that mutarotation is correlated with cis-trans configuration.

of the reduction of d-tartrate reagent by dglucose. The deviations are defined as follows: X, representing planar influences for trans reagents, is the molar equivalent for the d-reagent minus that for the 1-reagent. Y, representing extraplanar influences for trans reagents, is the equivalent for that truns reagent most redured by any particular sugar minus the equivalent of the trans sugar, d-glucose, for the d-reagent. 2, representing the total influence upon the meso reagent, is the equivalent for this reagent minus that of d-glucose for the d-reagent. The deviations of monosaccharides with trans tartrate reagents reveal that epimerized d-glucose, d-glucosamine, d-xylose, d-lyxose and 1-sorbose are most symmetrical in a planar sense, since their X deviations approach zero. However, these trans sugars have average Y deviations of 0, -4.5, -16, -20 and -17.5, respectively. The presence of the CHzOH group a t position 5 in d-glucose therefore increases the trans characteristics of the pyranoid molecule. In the three-dimensional strainless model of d-glucopyranose, viewed from the plane of the ring, the additional hydroxyl group of carbon 6 balances the other oxygens in both a planar (right and left) and an extraplanar (polar) sense. In 1sorbose and d-xylose models the oxygens are well balanced in a planar sense but not in an extraplanar sense, since there is no CHzOH group at pyranoid position 5 . Lengthening the carbon chain therefore results in appreciable alteration of extraplanar influences, which are interrelated with planar influences. The interrelation is demonstrated by the fact that d- and 1-isomerism can be represented alternately as a polar phenomenon relative to the pyranoid cyclic oxygen. Inversion of strainless pyranoid models of 1-sugars, whose ring systems are thus viewed as identical with those of d-sugars, reveals polar interchanges between carbons 1 and 5 and between carbons 2 and 4. Relating sugar antipodes in this fashion facilitates comparisons which are difficult with the usual right and left disymmetric formulas. Since planar and extraplanar influences have a common space coordinate, the substitution of CHzOH or COOH groups a t pyranoid positions 1 or 5 affects both cis-trans (Y) and planar (X) influences, the latter causing a “shift to the right” in reagent selection by ketoses and alduronic acids. (Compare these with related aldohexoses in Table 111.)
1795
Of the monosaccharidesstudied, d-glucose gives rise to the most symmetrical three-dimensional epimeric system. In a planar sense, epimerized d-glucosamine, d-xylose, 1-sorbose and d-lyxose are just as symmetrical, while d-galacturonic acid, d-ribose, d-arabinose and d-galactose (3,4-cis types) are most unsymmetrical. In an extraplanar sense, d-glucose, d-glucosamine and d-fructose are most symmetrical, the latter evidently going to a balanced epimeric system by a Lobry de Bruyn rearrangement; methylpentoses are most unsymmetrical and reduce less copper than other sugars. The trans arrangement of epimerized d-glucose and its relatives, d-fructose and d-glycuronic acid, is also the most favorable influence for reduction of meso-tartrate reagent (Table 111). With aldopentoses, extraplanar deviations (Y) for trans reagents are uniformly less than the total deviations (2) for the meso reagent, and the latter is not always reduced equally by planar antipodes. (See xylose and sorbose in Table 111.) Analogous smaller deviations occur even with the nonasymmetric Sumner reagent. The fact that d-glucose reduces meso reagent 23% more than does d-xylose, indicates again that mutarotation and epimerization of the trans pentose are insufficient to balance its molecule in all dimensions and that terminal CHzOH groups are active. Certain sugars which are not optical antipodes reduce the meso reagent equally (dxylose and d-sorbose, also d-mannose and &galacturonic acid) ; others (d-glucose, I-ascorbic acid, the methylpentoses and ketohexoses) have approximately equal Y and 2 deviations. More detailed correlation is problematical because the concentration of certain sugars affects their oxidation. Notable instances are d-mannose and d-glycuronic acid with trans tartrate reagents (Table 111), but the most remarkable example is a-glucosan with d -tartrat e. The P-glucose-glucosides, cellobiose and gentiobiose, resemble the parent monosaccharide with trans reagents, but differ in their effects upon. meso reagent. Cellobiose presents a space arrangement for meso oxidation markedly superior to that of any sugar studied (Table 111). The marked reduction of Sumner’s reagent by disaccharides is significant. We have called attention previously to the usefulness of Sumner/Folin-Wu ratios of glucose equivalents for differentiating sugars in s d u t i ~ n . ~ * ~ (9) Everett, Edwards and Sheppard, J . Biol.

Hydantoins Derived from the Analogs of 1,3-Dichloroisoprog~xyexyethyl Methyl Ketone’ BY BRUCEB. ALLENWITH HENRYR. HENZE As a continuation of attempts to prepare substances possessing soporific properties, attention has now been directed to the synthesis of 5,3-disubstituted hydantoins in which one of the substituents is of the halogenoalkoxyalkyl type. In this Laboratory, the application of Bucherer’s2 hydantoin synthesis has been extended to the preparation of disubstituted heterocyclic compounds from such bifunctional carbonyl substances as alkoxymethyl alkyl (or aryl) ketones3 and phenoxymethyl alkyl (or aryl) ketone^,^ and has been shown to be advantageous over other accepted methods as regards yield, ease of execution, and degree of purity of product. In the present investigation, then, successful use of the Bucherer method in hydantoin formation from dichloroisopropoxyethyl alkyl or aryl ketones resulted in further extension of the application of the method. The ketones used were, with one exception, of the type (CH&l)&3-I-O-CH(CH,)COR where R represents alkyl and includes those groups which have been shown most active physiologically ; the preparation and characterization of these ketones have been described by us pre. v i ~ u s l y . ~Since the hydantoin derived from the phenyl analog of this series of ketones represents a halogenoalkoxyl derivative of Nirvanol (5ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin), a substance shown to (1) From a portion of a dissertation presented by Bruce B Allen to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, June, 1938 (2) B u c k e r and Lieb, J p m k t Chem , [2] 141, 5 (1934).

The Grignard reagent from 48.1 g. (0.31 mole) of phenyl bromide, 7.3 g. (0.3 atom) of magnesium in the form of turnings, and 250 cc. of anhydrous ether was treated with the solution of 45.5 g. (0.25 mole) of CY1,3-dichlwoisopropoxypropionitrilein a n equal volume of ether. Although vigorous reaction occurred throughout the nitrile addition, completion was ensured by refluxing for two hours over a steamcone. The addition product, which separated as a gray-colored solid, was decomposed in the usual manner with chilled, dilute hydrochloric acid and crushed ice; the resulting ether layer was separated, washed with dilute sodium carbonate solution and then water, and finally dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. The crude material was freed of ether by evaporation and then purified by two fractionations under 4 mm. pressure; the pure ketone is a colorless, almost odorless, quite viscous liquid which develops a deep red coloration upon standing, yield, 45.4 g.
