Synthesis, X-ray structural analysis, and cytotoxic activity of some new androstane d-homo lactone derivatives

A series of d-homo lactones 4?C10 from dehydroepiandrosterone 1 via 16-hydroximino derivatives 2 and 3 were synthesized. The d-homo lactone 4 was transformed by the Oppenauer oxidation to obtain compound 5. The (Z)-2-hydroxymethylene-4-en-3-one compound 6, was obtained through reaction of 4-en-3-one compound 5 with ethyl formate and sodium hydride. The epoxides 8 and 9 were prepared from compound 7 by oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Compound 10 was obtained by treating epoxides 8 and 9 with chromium(VI)-oxide. The structure of compounds 6 and 10 were confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. These derivatives were screened for antitumor activity against three tumor cell lines (human breast adenocarcinoma ER+, MCF-7, human breast adenocarcinoma ER?, MDA-MB-231, prostate cancer AR?, PC-3), and one human non-tumor cell line, MRC-5. Compounds 4, 7, 8, and 10 exhibited significant antitumor activity against MDA-MB-231 cells, while compound 5 showed strong cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231. No compounds displayed toxicity against MRC-5 cells.     

Amino(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)furoxans: synthesis, isomerization, and rearrangement of N-acetyl derivatives

3-Amino-4-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)furoxan (1a) and 4-amino-3-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-furoxan (1b) and their acetyl derivatives 6a,b were obtained. The equilibria 1a ai 1b and 6a ? 6b were studied. Furoxan 6b can undergo thermal rearrangement into 3-[(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)(nitro)methyl]-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (7), prolonged heating of which gives N-(2-tert-butyl-5-nitro-1-oxido-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)acetamide (8). With the transformation 7 → 8 as an example, the possibility of participation of the azoxy group in the Boulton-Katritzky rearrangements was demonstrated for the first time.     

Über Reaktionen mit Betainen, 18. Mitt. Über Betaine und ihre Beziehungen zu N-Yliden. Trifluoracetyl-N-methylide und ihre Beziehungen zu den entsprechenden Ammoniumbasen

The betaines1b–d were prepared⁴ by systematic variation of the alkyl groups and were reacted with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride (TFA) to give the diacyl-ylides2b,c. The betain1d andTFA afford the trifluoroacetate3d ⁵. The salts3b,c, which result from hydrolysis of2b,c as well as3d (X=I) can be transformed in 75 to 83% yield into the monoacyl-ylides4b–d with the help of silver oxide. Aqueous solutions of4a–d exhibit alkalinepH, which points to the formation of the corresponding ammonium bases. In the case of4b,c the bases5b,c could be isolated. It can be shown, that4b,c and5b,c, respectively, undergo a reversible addition or elimination of one mole wather with great ease.     

Ylide von Heterocyclen,IV. Sulfonium- und Pyridinium-Ylide des Cumarins und des 2-Chinolons

The title compounds3 can be prepared either from the iodonium-ylides1 or from the chlorocompounds4. On treatment with hydrochloric acid the thiophanium-ylides3 C undergo ring cleavage to the chlorobutylsulfides5, also formed from4 and thiophane. The dimethylsulfonium-ylide8 is derived from activatedDMSO and7 b. TheOrtoleva-King reaction is discussed as an alternative method for preparing pyridiniumylides.     

Comparative investigation of the copper(II) complexes of (R)-, (S)- and (R,S)-1-phenyl-N,N-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)ethanamine along with the related complex of (R,S)-1-cyclohexyl-N,N-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)ethanamine. Synthetic, magnetic, and structural studies

The interaction of the enantiopure (R)- and (S)-1-phenyl-N,N-bis(pyridine-3- ylmethyl)ethanamine ligands, R-L ¹ and S-L ¹ , with copper(II) chloride followed by addition of hexafluorophosphate resulted in the isolation of the corresponding enantiomeric complexes [Cu(R-L ¹ )Cl](PF₆) (1), [Cu(S-L ¹ )Cl](PF₆) (2) and [Cu(S-L ¹ )Cl](PF₆)??0.5Et₂O (3), in which dimerization occurs through two long Cu??????Cl interactions, the ??-chloro bridges being thus strongly asymmetric. The organic ligand is bound to the metal centre via its N₃-donor dipyridylmethylamine fragment in a planar fashion, such that each copper centre is in a square planar environment (or distorted square pyramidal with a long axial bond length if the additional interaction is considered). When R,S-L ¹ was employed in a parallel synthesis, the similar racemic complex [Cu(R,S-L ¹ )Cl](PF₆)??0.5MeOH (4) was obtained, in which the L ¹ ligands in each dimeric unit have opposite hands. In contrast to the complexes of L ¹ , the reaction of Cu(II) chloride with the related ligand, (R)-1-cyclohexyl-N,N-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)ethanamine (R-L ² ), yielded the mononuclear complex [Cu(R,S-L ² )Cl₂] (5), displaying a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry. The structure of this product along with its corresponding circular dichroism spectrum revealed that racemisation of the starting R-L ² ligand has occurred under the relatively mild (basic) conditions employed for the synthesis. A temperature-dependent magnetic studies of the complexes 1, 2 and 5 indicate that a week ferromagnetic interaction is operative in each dicopper core in 1 and 2 with 2J?=?1.2?cm^?1. On the other hand, a week antiferromagnetic intermolecular interaction is operative for 5.

Aminolysis of 4-dialkylamino- and 4-alkylamino-2-methylthiothiopyranyliden iodides2 resp. under various reaction conditions leads to assymmetrically or symmetrically substituted 2,4-bisamino- or 2,4-bisdialkylamino- and 2-alkylamino-4-dialkylamino-or 2-dialkylamino-4-alkylamino- or 2-amino-4-dialkylaminodihydrothiopyranylium iodides3, 4, 5, 6 resp. On treatment with alkali 4-alkylamino- and 4-dialkylamino-2-alkylaminothiopyranylium iodides3,4 are hydrolysed to the 2-alkylimino-2H-thiopyranes7. 4-Alkylamino-2-dialkylaminothiopyranylium iodides5 react with alkali to give three products: the two stereoisomeres 2-dialkylamino-4-alkylimino-4H-thiopyranes9 A,B and theN,N-substituted α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated thiocarboxamide10. The hydrolysis of 2,4-bisdialkylaminothiopyranylium iodide6 a leads to the 2-dialkylamino-4H-thiopyran-4-one11 a, the 4-dialkylamino-2H-thiopyrane-2-one12 and theN,N-substituted unsaturated thiocarboxamide10 d. α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated thiocarboxamides10 a-c are formed by the reaction of 2-amino-4-dialkylaminothiopyranylium iodides3 a-c with diluted alkali. By heating with acids10 a-c are cyclisized to the 2-aminothiopyranylium derivates3.     

The electronic structure of 5-methylhexa-1,2,4-triene-1,3-diyl, the first representative of highly delocalized triplet ethynylvinylcarbenes, from ESR spectroscopy data and quantum chemical calculations

The ESR spectrum of the first representative of highly conjugated triplet ethynylvinylcarbenes, 5-methylhexa-1,2,4-triene-1,3-diyl (1), was recorded in solid argon matrix. The zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters of carbene 1 (D = 0.5054±0.0006 cm^?1 and E = 0.0045±0.0002 cm^?1) determined from the experimental ESR spectrum are in between the corresponding parameters of ethynylcarbene C3H2 (2) and vinylcarbene C₃H₄ (3): D(3) < D(1) < D(2) and E(2) < E(1) < E(3). Quantum chemical calculations of the ZFS parameters of 1, 2, and 3 have been carried out for the first time using two DFT-based approaches, RODFT and UDFT. An analysis of the experimental and theoretical ZFS parameters shows that carbene 1 is characterized by a greater extent of delocalization of the spin density of unpaired electrons than carbenes 2 and 3. The characteristic structural fragments of carbene 1 possess the principal features of the electronic structure of both ethynylcarbene (2) and vinylcarbene (3), respectively. Magnetic spin-spin interactions are identical in carbenes 1 and 2. The dominant contribution to D in 1 and 2 results from the one-center spin-spin interactions on carbon atoms in the propynylidene group, which are subjected to strong spin polarization.     

Zur Kenntnis der Struktur der Chalkon-Guanidin-Kondensate Über Heterocyclen, 75. Mitt.

Guanidine reacts with chalkone1 a, 4-methylchalkone1 b and 4′-methylchalkone1 c resp. to yield mixtures of pyrimidinamines2 a,3 b and3 c (=3 b) resp. with (2:1)-condensatesA,B andC resp. The structures of the compoundsA-C (whicha priori could be dihydropyrimidopyrimidines4 a-c or5 a-c or6 a-c) are elucidated. NMR-investigations show that the saltsA-C · HCl must be symmetrically substituted pyrimidopyrimidinyliumchlorides4 a-c · HCl or5 a-c · HCl (and not6 a-c · HCl). Furthermore, it is proved by chemical methods that the condensatesB · HCl andC · HCl are pyrimidopyrimidinyliumchlorides4 b andc · HCl (and not5 b andc · HCl): The structure ofB · HCl (=4 b · HCl) was established by total synthesis of dimethylpyrimidopyrimidinyliumpicrate9 b-Pi from10 c (via13 c · HI-18 · HCl) and transformation ofB · HCl into an identical salt9 b-Pi via hexahydropyrimidopyrimidine8 b · HCl. The structure ofC · HCl (=4 c · HCl) was determined by comparison of its hydrogenation product (=8c · HCl) with8 b · HCl. The structure of condensateA · HCl (=4 a · HCl) results from conclusion by analogy. The spatial structure of4 a-c · HCl and8 a-c · HCl is discussed; it was established by NMR that the salts are racemic mixtures of stereoisomers4 a-c K · HCl and8 a-c K · HCl resp. and their antipodes (with C₂ symmetry).

The 2-cyclohexenones1 a, b andc react with NH₄SCN to give 3,5,5-trimethyl-, 3-methyl-5-phenyl- and 3-methyl-2-cyclohexeniminiumthiocyanates8 a, b andc resp. (i.e. salts of α,β-unsaturated imines) and not the expected diazabicyclononane-thiones5 a, b andc. Alternative formulae for the1—NH₄SCN-condensates are discussed and rejected on the basis of IR- and NMR-spectra and the chemical properties of5 a-c.

The structure of the diazabicyclononane-thiones5 a, d ande is established by means of NMR-, IR- and MS-spectra. 8 a-c and5 e showed no significant herbicidal and only small fungicidal (8 b, c) and insecticidal (8 a-c) activities in screening tests.     

Chemie des 5,7-Dihydroxy-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(3H)-ons

Hydrolysis of the 4-alkyliminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridinedioles (5) and 4-alkylaminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridones (6) resp. with 10% NaOH gives 5,7-dihydroxy-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-4(3H)-one (7).7 can be obtained in better yield by reaction of 4-dimethylamino-2(1H)-pyridinethione (8) with bistrichlorphenylethylamlonate (2).

By heating in bromobenzene5d is cyclisized to 1H-5,1,2,6-thiatriaza-acenaphthylen-7-ol (11). On methylation with methyljodide5,6 and7 furnish the 7-methoxyproducts13,14 and12. By heating in 20% NaOH7 is transformed into the 2-thioxo-3-pyridylmethylketone16 A and its tautomer, 2-mercapto-3-pyridylmethylketone16 B. The structures of5,6 and7 are discussed.     

Syntheses, structures, and properties of zinc(II), cadmium(II), cobalt(II), and manganese(II) coordination polymers with tetraiodoterephthalate

The coordination chemistry of a rigid periodinated ligand, 2,3,5,6-tetraiodo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H₂BDC-I₄), with a series of transition metal ions has been explored to afford five new coordination polymers {[M(BDC-I₄)(MeOH)₄](H₂BDC-I₄)(MeOH)₂} _n (M?=?Zn^II for 1, Cd^II for 2, Co^II for 3 and Mn^II for 4) and {[Mn(BDC-I₄)(MeOH)₄](DMF)} _n (5). All these complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that complexes 1?C4 are isostructural and have a one-dimensional chain structure. Upon the addition of the solvent DMF, the infinite linear chain array in 4 is converted to a 1-D wave-like chain motif in 5 with a different space group ( $ P\overline{1} $ for 4 and P2₁/c for 5). The difference between structures 1?C4 and 5 can be attributed to the coordination mode of carboxylate changing from trans to cis fashion. The Zn^II and Cd^II complexes 1 and 2 display similar emissions in the solid state, which essentially are intraligand transitions.     

Synthesis of a novel calix[4]azacrown ionophore and its extraction ability toward Cr(VI)

The present study describes the synthesis of a novel extractant p-tert-butyl-calix[4]azacrown ionophore (5) and evaluation of its extraction capability toward dichromate ion from aqueous solution. At first, p-tert-butyl-calix[4]azacrown ionophore (5) has been synthesized from the condensation of p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene diamine (3) with N-(4-formylphenyl)-aza-15-crown-5 (4). The studies regarding the removal of dichromate ion from the aqueous solutions have been carried out in the liquid–liquid extraction systems. The extraction results showed that p-tert-butyl-calix[4]azacrown derivative (5) exhibited generally higher affinity towards dichromate ion than both 3 and 4 at all studied pHs.     

Syntheses and extraction properties of novel biscalixarene and thiacalix[4]arene hydrazone derivatives

By reacting thiacalix[4]arene with p-tosyloxyethoxylbenzaldehyde 1, 3-bis(benzaldehyde-4-oxyethyloxy)-p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (2) were prepared in yield of 65%. Refluxing compound 2 with aniline, salicylic hydrazide, nicotinic hydrazide and isonicotinic hydrazide, novel ringopening 1,3-bis-arylformyl-hydrazone substituted thiacalix[4]arene derivatives (3a–3d) were obtained in yields of 77–89%. Refluxing compound 2 with o-phenylendiamine, oxalyl dihydrazide, malonic dihydrazide and adipic dihydrazide in “1 + 1” intermolecular condensation mode under diluted condition, novel 1,3-bis-acyl hydrazone-bridged calix[4]arene derivatives (4a–4d) were prepared in good yields. Moreover, by condensating compound 2 with 1,3-bis(hydrazinocarbonyl-methoxy)-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (5), the first example of hydrazone-bridged biscalixarene (6) with calix[4]arene and thiacalix[4]arene subunits was facilely synthesized in yield of 90%. The noncompetitive and competitive extracting experiments showed that these novel hosts were good receptors for both metal cations and α-amino acids. Compounds 3a–3d and 4a–4d showed similar binding properties with high extraction percentage but low extracting selectivities. Biscalixarene 6 exhibited not only high extracting abilities but also good extracting selectivities.     

Synthese von (5,10)-(7,8)-Bisepoxiden aus α- und β-4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dion-Addukten von Vitamin D3 und Röntgenstrukturanalyse eines der Benzoylderivate

Oxidation of the α- and β-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adducts of vitamin D₃ (2 and1) withMCPBA yields two diastereomeric mixtures of the (5,10)-(7,8)-dioxiranes3 a,3 b,3 c and4 a,4 b respectively. The corresponding benzoates5 a,5 b,6 a and6 b were prepared and the X-ray crystal structure of5 b was determined. This analysis proved5 b to be the (5R, 1 OS)-(7R, 8R)-dioxirane of the β-resp. (6S)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adduct1 of vitamin D₃.     

Chinolizine und Indolizine,XIV Umlagerungen von Heterocyclen,X Ringumwandlungen von 1-Acyl-2-hydroxy-4-chinolizinonen

By heating with ammonia or aniline 1-acyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinolizinones (1 a–e) are transformed to 4-hydroxy-5-(2-pyridyl)-2-pyridones (3 a–f), with4 a–d as minor sideproducts. The structure of the rearranged compound3 f was established by an independent synthesis starting with6 and7. The reaction of1 a, d with ethyl β-aminocrotonate (β-ACE) yields pyrono-quinolizinones8 a, b and pyronopyridones9 a, b as byproducts; the latter are obtained in high yield by reaction of3 a, b with β-ACE. The ringtransformation reaction cannot be extended to 1-methoxycarbonyl-quinolizinones, such as10; in this case 2-amino-4-quinolizinone11 is the main product of the reaction with ammonia.     

Stereochemie von α,ω-Diphenyl-alkan-α,ω-diolen

Reduction (both catalytically and with complex hydrides) of the diphenyl diketones1 (a, b, c andd withn=0, 2, 3 and 4) was investigated mainly with regard to the diastereomeric ratio of the diols2. For2 a and2 b exact results were obtained by NMR spectroscopy (without or with shift reagents) of the diol mixture (2 a) or after stereoselective cyclization to the cyclic ethers (3 b). AlsoGC andLLC were employed for the analysis of2 a (GC of the trimethylsilyl derivatives) and for the ethers3, resp. (GC for3 a and3 d;LLC for3 b and3 c). The reduction of1 a, 1 b (and in part1 c) proceeds with high stereoselectivity; themeso-diol preponderates in the case of2 a, therac.-diol for2 b and2 c; with increasingn the diastereomeric ratio approaches the statistical ratio of 1∶1. Preparations of the stereoisomeric diols (2 b, c andd via acetylenic precursors) and of the cyclic diphenyl ethers (by stereoselective cyclization and/or chromatographic separation;3 c and3 d for the first time) as well as the determination of their configurations are described. The latter was achieved by NMR and for the ethers3 also by hydrogenation of the corresponding heteroaromatics.     

Strukturelle Abwandlungen an Nukleotiden,Nukleosiden und Nukleosidbasen mit β-Acylvinylphosphoniumsalzen

β-Acetylvinyl-triphenylphosphonium bromide1 reacts with CMP to form the 3,N⁴-etheno-derivative {[6-(5′-phosphoribofuranosyl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-imidazo [1.2-c]pyrimidin-3-yl]-methyl}triphenyl-phosphonium bromide (2). Guanine affords mainly the lin. condensation product [(6-methyl-9-oxo-imidazo[1.2-a]-purin-7-yl)-methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide (3) and the angular tricyclic product [(6-methyl-9-oxo-imidazo[2.1-b]purin-5-yl)-methyl]-triphenylphosphonium bromide (4).

The structure of the rearranged pyridinethiones2 was proved by the1-phenylderivate2 a. Thus 4-methyl-3-penten-2-on reacts with phenylthiourea via the phenylimino-1,3-thiazine (14) to give 3-phenyl-2(1H)pyridinethione (15).15 is transformed by themethylpyrimidine-pyridine-rearrangement to the 1-phenylpyridinethione2 a.

In this study, a new phthalonitrile derivative 3 bearing 1,3-bis[3(dimethylamino)phenoxy]propan-2-ol 1, metal-free phthalocyanine (Pc) 4, metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) 5–7 and their quaternized derivatives 4a–7a were synthesized. Metal-free Pc 4 was prepared by cyclotetramerization of phthalonitrile derivate 3 and MPcs 5–7 were synthesized by heating 3 with NiCl₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂ in n-pentanol in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, respectively. Quaternization of the dimethylamino functionality produced quaternized octacationic water soluble metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs which were soluble in water, DMF, DMSO. The aggregation behaviour of these compounds were investigated in different concentrations of chloroform for metal-free, Ni, Co and Cu Pcs. The effect of solvents on absorption spectra were studied in various organic solvents. The novel compounds were characterized using IR, ¹H-, ¹³C NMR, UV–vis and MS spectral data.     

Preparation and reactions of optically active cyanohydrins using the (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase from Prunus amygdalus

Cyanuration of 2-naphthaldehyde (1) and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde (2) yielded the racemic 2-hydroxy-2-(β-naphthyl)ethanenitrile (R,S)-3 and 2-hydroxy-2-(5-methyl-2-furyl)ethanenitrile (R,S)-5, respectively. The same reaction can be completed by using acetone cyanohydrin (4) as a transcyanating agent. The optically active (R)-3 and (S)-5 could be respectively obtained by hydrocyanation of 1 and 2 using (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase (R)-PaHNL [EC 4.1.2.10] from almonds (Prunus amygdalus) as a chiral catalyst. Cyanohydrins 3 and 5 in their racemic and optically active forms undergo a number of transformations which involve either the hydroxyl group or the cyanide function. Moreover, derivatization of 3 and 5 with (S)-Naproxen®chloride (S)-14 gave the respective diastereoisomers. The optical activity of (R)-3 and (S)-5 as well as their derivatives were recorded. The postulated structures for the new products were supported with compatible elementary and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, and single crystal X-Ray crystallography) analyses. The antimicrobial activity of some selected racemic new products and their respective optically active analogues were also undertaken.
