Synthèse de sucres aminès ramifiés II. Synthèse et réactions de spiro-aziridines. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ or RMgX yields spiro-aziridines with two identical substituents on C(3′) (? H, ? CH₃, ? C₂H₅). Reactions of these products and their derivatives are briefly described. If the C(3′) substituents are protons, the aziridine ring is easily opened. In acidic media (HCl), an amino-sugar containing the branched chain ? CH₂Cl is produced; with hydrogenation, a ? CH₃ branched chain results. If the C(3′) substituents are methyl groups, the aziridine ring cannot be opened neither with HCl nor with hydrogen. The acetylated derivative of this latter compound rearranges to the corresponding allylamide with HCl. For both types of spiro-aziridine, the nitrous deamination leads to the corresponding alkene.     

Synthèse de céphalosporine-lactones

Condensation of azetidinones 2a and 2b with mercaptan 3 gave respectively compound 10 or a 1:1 mixture of 17 and 17 ′. Bromination of 10 , afforded cis and trans-bromohydrins 13a and of 17 and 17 ′ cis and trans-bromohydrins 18a . Acetylation and reduction with zinc and acetic acid of these bromohydrins gave cephems 4a or 4b and 4b ′ respectively.     

Synthèse de l'évernine

Synthesis of Evernin Two syntheses of the depside evernin 6 are described. Condensation of methyl acetoacetate and methyl crotonate followed by aromatization and reduction with Raney-Ni led to methyl orsellinate (3) . The condensation of everninic acid (4) , obtained by partial methylation of 3 and saponification of the methyl ester, with methyl 2, 4-dihydroxy-3, 6-dimethylbenzoate (methyl β-orcin carboxylate) (5) in presence of cyclohexylcarbodiimide gave evernin ( 6 ). In a second syntheis methyl dihydroorsellinate (1) was regiospecifically converted into its 4-methyl enol ether and aromatized via the benzene selenenyl derivative to yield methyl evernate (7) . Benzylation followed by saponification gave the free acid 8 . Methyl β-orcin carboxylate (5) was synthesized in an analogous way from methyl 3,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxocyclohexanecarboxylate. Condensation of 8 with the methyl ester 5 by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride in toluene yielded 9 , which could be converted into evernin ( 6 ) by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ether.     

Synthèse de sucres aminés ramifiés III. Synthèse et réactions de 1′α-amino-nitrile dérivé du di-O-isopropylidène-1,2:5,6-α-D-ribo-hexofurannosul-3-ose

The addition of cyanohydric acid to 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofurannos-3-ulose can be sterically controlled. Under kinetic conditions, the allo cyanohydrine epimer is formed, under thermodynamic conditions, the gluco epimer is formed. The configuration of these two products is proved by their chemical reactions. Hydration followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile group of the allo epimer (O-acetyl derivative) gives the 3-C-carboxy-1,2-O-isopropyloidene compound. This product forms the corresponding γ or δ-lactone with hydroxyl ( 5 ) or ( 6 ). On the other hand, after hydrolysis of 5,6-isopropylidene, the 3-O-acetyl derivative of the gluco epimer gives an acetyl migration from position 3 to position 5 and finally to position 6. By reaction of the allo epimer with NH₃ and CN^?, an aminonitrile is formed. The allo configuration is deduced from the above mentioned reaction and from IR. and NMR. data. Several acetylated and trifluoracetylated derivatives of these products are described. The oxidation of the nitrile group to the amide group is possible with both epimeric cyanohydrines and the amino-nitrile.     

Synthèses de produits organofluorés VI Solvolyse de chlorofluorocyclopropanes

Fluoro-organic Syntheses VI: The Solvolysis of Chlorofluoro-cyclopropanes 2-Fluoro-allylic carbocations, generated from 1-chloro-1-fluoro-cyclopropanes or 2-fluoro-allyl p-toluene-sulfonates in water or acetic acid, undergo either proton loss or addition of hydroxyl or acetoxyl. In the latter case, an alkyl-substituted 2-fluoro-allyl ion leads predominantly to the more branched product (e.g. 3-fluoro-2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol) which may be converted into the less branched one (e.g. 2-fluoro-3-methyl-2-buten-2-ol) through reversible reactions.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres,X. Synthèse stéréospécifique de l'épimère en C3 du streptose et d'autres sucres ramifiés,dérivés de désoxy-5-pentoses, à groupements gem-hydroxy-formyle ou gem-hydroxy-hydroxyméthyle

The synthesis of branched-chain sugars of the gem-hydroxy-formyl and the gem-hydroxy-hydroxymethyl types is described. A 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-furanos-3-ulose is treated with cyanomethylene-triphenyl-phosphorane, yielding the two geometrical isomers of the corresponding branched-chain unsaturated sugar. Cis-dihydroxylation(KMnO₄) of these cyanomethylenic compounds affords stereoselectively and in high yield the gem-hydroxy-formyl branched chain sugars whose formyl group is on the more hindered face of the furanose ring. The hydroxymethyl analogues of the latter compounds are readily prepared by their borohydride reduction. This method constitutes a new general route to type A branched-chain sugars epimeric at the branching-point with the sugars which would have been obtained by the classical procedure involving Grignard reagents.     

Synthèse de l'ériodermine

Synthesis of Eriodermin The total synthesis of eriodermin (=2,7-dichloro-4-formyl 3-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1,6-dimethyl-11H-dibenzo[b,e] [1,4]dioxepin-11-one) is described.     

Synthèse d'analogues acycliques de C-nucléosides

A direct method for the preparation of 2-hydroxyethoxymethyl derivatives of guanine and s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine in which the chain is joined into the heterocyclic base by a carbon-carbon bond is describe.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXII. Synthèse de dérivés spiro-C-glycosylidéniques par cyclisation nucléophile. Communication préliminaire

C -Glycosylic derivatives XXXII. Synthesis of spiro-C -glycosylidenic derivatives via nucleophilic cyclization. On treatment with compounds bearing two nucleophilic groups as ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine or their monooxa or monothia analogues, 1,2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofuranos-3-ulose gave with excellent yields the corresponding spiro-C-glycosylidenic derivative; for example, when using o-phenylenediamine, a spirobenzimidazoline ( 5 ) was obtained. The latter compound underwent, on oxidation, a ring expansion to a morpholinobenzimidazole ( 8 ). Spirobenzodiazepines, spirobenzooxazepines and spirobenzothiazepines were formed when applying the same type of cyclization reaction to 3-C-acetylmethylene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo- and α-D -xylo-hexofuranoses.     

Synthèse d'hétérocycles dérivés du (+)-camphre

Diamines react with 3-dimercaptomethylenecamphor giving either a bis-oxothioamide or a heterocyclic compound via in oxoaminothioamide intermediate. In this last reaction, there is cleavage of both C? S bonds. Similarly, diamines react with β-oxothioamides to produce the same heterocyclic derivatives. In these reactions, a transamination is involved and the carbonyl group of camphor is preserved. A distinctly different reaction occurs when the same camphor derivatives are treated with hydrazine; thioxo- alcoylamino- or arylaminoindazoles are then obtained. Ring closure occurs on the carbonyl carbon of the camphor molecule.     

Synthèse de spiro-pyrazolines par cycloaddition du diazométhane sur des sucres insaturés ramifiés. Influence de l'isomérie géométrique sur l'orientation de la réaction Communication préliminaire

The orientation of the cycloaddition of diazomethane on unsaturated branchedchain sugars has been studied. For 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-tetrofuranose the orientation was ‘normal’ and did not depend on the configuration at the double bond. The same situation prevailed with derivatives of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose. For the 3-C-acylmethylidene- and the 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo-hexofuranoses, the trans-(H–C(3′)–C(2))-isomer gave the ‘normal’ cycloadduct whereas the cis-isomer gave predominantly the αabnormal spiro-pyrazoline. This observation represents the first instance where the regioselectivity of a cycloaddition reaction is affected by the geometrical isomerism of the dipolarophile. The most probable explanation of the phenomenon is the conformational perturbation about the C(4)--C(5) bond of the unsaturated sugars induced by a change in the configuration at C(3). The consequence of that ‘conformational transmission’ of a difference in configuration at C(3) is that the steric crowding on the cis- than in the trans-isomer. Several novel examples of a new series of C-glycosylidenic derivatives, the spiro-pyrazolines, are described.     

Le diméthyl- et le diéthyl-tétracarbonylosmium Synthèse et réactivité

The sodium salt Na₂[Os(CO)₄] has been obtained in high yields by the reduction of either OsH₂(CO)₄ or Os₃(CO)₁₂ with sodium sand in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2, 2′-bipyridyle. The reaction of Na₂[Os(CO)₄] with alkylating agents such as methyl and ethyl iodide produces OsR₂(CO)₄ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). NMR. and IR. spectra indicate a cis-octahedral structure of symmetry C_2v for these new alkyl compounds. Bromine breaks one osmium-carbon bond in cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ to give cis-OsCH₃Br(CO)₄, whereas in cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ both ethyl groups are easily displaced by bromine to give cis-OsBr₂(CO)₄. Under CO pressure and at elevated temperature cis-Os(CH₃)₂(CO)₄ is converted to Os(CO)₅ and ethane. With cis-Os(C₂H₅)₂(CO)₄ two CO are inserted in osmium-carbon bonds to give . NMR. and IR. data suggest a cis-configuration for this derivative and the possibility of the presence of rotational isomers.     

Chimie et pharmacologie de l'apiose III. Synthèse et propriétés de l'hydrate de l'O-isopropylidène-1, 2-tétrosulo-3-furannose

Ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-β-D -threofuranose affords, besides the known 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose, a lactone. The tetrosulose is easily hydrated to the corresponding gem-diol whose dehydration on molecular sieves leads to a branched-chain dimer. Lead tetraacetate oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose p-nitrophenylhydrazone leads quantitatively, to a gem-azoacetate, a new synthetic intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. The 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetr-3-enofuranose is easily obtained from the gem-diol. A highly stereoselective procedure is described to prepare the 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -3, 4-exo-D₂-erythrofuranose.     

Synthèse du virensate de méthyle

Synthesis of Methyl Virensate The synthesis of methyl virensate (=methyl 4-formyl-3,8-dihydroxy-1,6,9-trimethyl-11-oxo-11H-dibenzo-[b, e][1,4]dioxepin-7-carboxylate; 18 ) by the condensation of the substituted β-orcinol and orcinol units 9 and 10 followed by formylation and demethylation of the depsidone 13 is described.     

Synthèse et caractérisation de fluorbritholites strontiques dopées au néodyme

Strontium fluorbritholites with the general formula Sr_10-xNd_x(PO₄)_6-x(SiO₄)_xF₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 6), were prepared by solid state reaction at temperatures between 1200 and 1400 °C. The XRD analysis showed that a pure apatitic phase was formed only for x ≤ 2.5. Above this value, there was formation of secondary phases. The variation of the lattice parameters as a function of x indicated that the formed solid solution was discontinuous on both sides of x = 3. The analysis by Raman and IR spectroscopies confirmed the incorporation of SiO₄ groups within the apatite lattice, and showed that this incorporation induced in the structure a disorder that increased with increasing content of Nd³⁺ and SiO₄⁴⁻. Optical absorption measurements showed a wide variation in the local environment of Nd³⁺ ions, corresponding to the existence of new spectroscopic sites, evidenced by a luminescence study.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XI. Synthèse des quatre didésoxy-3, 5-méthyl-3-pentoses parl'intermédiaire de sucres insaturés ramifiés

Treated with methylthiomethylenetriphenylphosphorane, 5-deoxy-1,2-O-iso-propylidene-β-D -threo- and -α-D -erythro-furanos-3-uloses led with good yields to a mixture of the cis-trans isomers of the corresponding methylthiovinylidenic sugars. There was no inversion of configuration at C(4) with the thero-furanosulose and a small one (7%) with its erythro isomer. These unsaturated branched-chain thio-sugars are useful synthetic intermediates. For examples, the desulfurization-hydrogenation (Raney Nickel) of each of these alkenes afforded in good yield two 3-deoxy-3-C-methyl-pentoses epimeric at C(3) and having the same configuration at C(4) as the starting alkenes. In all cases the isomer formed by attack from the less hindered face of the double bond was the preponderant one.     

Synthèse et réactivité de dihydrotriazines et de dihydrotriazolotriazines

Generally, 4,5-dihydro-3triazinones have been prepared by a basic hydrolysis of 3-methylmercapto-4,5-dihydrotriazines. Of the serveral methylation methods, namely, diazomethane, methyliodide, dimethyl sulfate all in the presence of sodium methylate or silver carbonate, only methyl bromide in the presence of phase transfer catalyst was sucessful in producing all of the N-2 and/or N-4 methylate compounds. Two unequivocal syntheses of dihydrotriazolo[4,3-b]triazine are reported.     

Synthèse de N-Alkyl-arylamines par Thermolyse ou Photolyse d'Alkyl-3-diaryl-1,3-triazènes

Synthesis of N-Alkyl-arylamines by Thermolysis or Photolysis of 3-Alkyl-1,3-bis(p-chlorophenyl)triazenes The thermolysis of 3-alkyl-1,3-bis(p-chlorophenyl)triazenes in benzene or methanol leads to the formation of N-alkyl-p-chloroanilines ( 2 ) in 19–50% yield, N-alkyl-bis(p-chlorophenyl)amines ( 3 ) in 7.5–15.5% yield and 4,4′-dichlorobiphenyle ( 4 ) in 1–7% yield; besides with benzene as the substrate, 4-chlorobiphenyle ( 5 ) (12–20% yield) was also formed. The photolysis in methanol gives only the N-alkyl-p-chloroanilines ( 2 ) in 32–40% yield. In these two cases the results are consistent with a radical pair formation in a solvent cage, recombination (thermolysis) and/or diffusion (thermolysis and photolysis) with intermolecular abstraction of hydrogen. A free radical chain mechanism is involved in the photolytic process and the quantum yield is high.     

Dérivés C-glycosyliques. VII. Synthèse et réactions de nitrones dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The syntheses of three types of sugar nitrones (aldonitrone, ketonitrone and α-β unsaturated aldonitrone) are described. On 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, the aldonitrone gave two Δ₄-isoxazolines epimeric at the new asymetric carbon, while the same reaction on the ketonitrone led to a spiro-Δ₄-isoxazoline. The reaction of these nitrones with carbon nucleophiles like phenylethynylmagnesium bromide constitutes a novel chain-extension reaction in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Synthèse et transformations de pyridopyrimidopyrimidines

A convenient one-step synthesis of a pyridoprimidopyrimidine system by means of the chloride of 1,3-dimethy1-4amino-5-amino-5-(N,N-dimethyliminiumchloromethine)uracil and substituted pyridines is studied and the title compounds are described.
