Static electric dipole polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilites have been calculated for the title molecules and their 3' and 4'-nitro derivatives at ab-initio Hartree- Fock/6-31G(d, p) level. The influence of the pivotal p vacant 3A elements (B, Al or Ga) substitution on the electrical properties of these molecules is detailed. The axial vector components of the first hyperpolarizabilities β(0) of the push-pull 4'-nitro derivatives, -18.2×10-32 esu (B), -21.1×10-32 esu (Al) and -20.8×10-32 esu (Ga) are calculated to be as much as fourfold larger then that calculated for the p-nitroaniline, a reference organic molecule for comparison for this type of molecular property.

Starting from methyl 6-O-allyl-4-azido-2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside, four new derivatives containing 2-iodobenzamido and 3-(iodoacetamido)benzamido groups were synthesized. These four compounds were submitted to tri-n-butyltin hydride mediated radical cyclization reactions, resulting in two macrolactams from 11- and 15-endo aryl radical cyclization. The corresponding four hydrogenolysis products were also obtained. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by ¹H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, DEPT, COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments.

A reação radicalar mediada por hidreto de tri-n-butilestanho de 2,3-di-O-benzil-4-O-trans-cinamil-6-desoxi-6-(2-iodobenzoilamino)- alfa-D-galactopyranosídeo de metila levou à formação de um produto inesperado, o 2,3-di-O-benzil-4-O-trans-cinamil-6-desoxi-6-(2-tri- n-butilestanhobenzoilamino)-alfa-D-galactopyranosídeo de metila. A estrutura do produto foi elucidada por meio das espectrometrias de RMN unidimensionais (¹H, 13C e DEPT) e bidimensionais (COSY e HMQC) e confirmada por espectrometria de massas. Foram apresentadas propostas de mecanismos para explicar a formação do derivado organoestanho.

The tri-n-butyltin hydride-mediated reaction of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-trans-cinnamyl -6-deoxy-6-(2-iodobenzoylamino)-alpha-D-galactopyranoside afforded an unexpected aryltributyltin compound. The structure of this new tetraorganotin(IV) product has been elucidated by ¹H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, COSY and HMQC experiments and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The formation of this new compound via a radical coupling reaction and a radical addition-elimination process is discussed.
