Novel Bulky Esters of Biopolymers: Dendritic Cellulose

Dendronized cellulose derivatives are discussed. Regarding our own studies, novel bulky esters of cellulose were synthesized homogeneously in N,N- dimethyl acetamide/LiCl or dimethyl sulfoxide in combination with fluoride ions by conversion of the biopolymer with 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid based aryl polyester dendrons. The carboxylic acid moieties were efficiently activated in situ with N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole or the acid chloride was applied. Cellulose esters with values of the degree of substitution of up to 0.7 were obtained. The functionalization analyzed by NMR spectroscopy occurs not only at position 6 (primary hydroxyl group) but also the secondary one at position 2.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Fatty Acid Esters of Glycosides Containing Cis‐diol and Biological Test against Bacterial Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella agona

Regioselectivity of glycoside containing cis‐diol esterification with fatty acid using dibutyltin dimethoxide as stannylating agent was probed, the results showed the equatorial position of cis‐diol has some advantage of being acylated, although the orientation of adjacent groups could affected the regioselectivity. The glycoside fatty acid esters were regioselectively synthesized on optimized condition with this stannyl method, the biological tests against bacterial as Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella agona were carried out with these fatty acid esters, the testing results showed that glycoside esters with 12 or 14 carbon long chain fatty acid have some obvious inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus.     

Structural characterization of 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid, an isolated metabolite of 9,10-dichlorooctadecanoic acid, by studying picolinyl esters, pyrrolidides and methyl esters with electron ionization mass spectrometry

A method is presented for identification of positional isomers of dichlorinated fatty acids, based on derivatization to picolinyl esters prior to gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis in the electron ionization mode. The mass spectra of the picolinyl esters showed structure-specific fragmentation patterns. By using the picolinyl ester, 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid was identified as a metabolite from a cell-culture medium obtained by culturing human cell lines in media supplemented with threo-9,10-dichlorooctadecanoic acid. This indicates that dichlorinated fatty acids are degraded by beta-oxidation. It is also possible to locate tentatively the position of chlorine atoms in 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid as its methyl ester or pyrrolidide.     

Reaction of esters of 2-arylcyclo-propanecarboxylic acids with nitrous acid. Synthesis of aryl-substituted 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and 3-ethoxycarbonylisoxazoles

Esters of 2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids react with nitrous acid generated in situ with regioselective insertion of the nitrosyl cation into the cyclopropane ring. Depending on the substrate/nitrosylating agent ratio, the reaction proceeds with the formation of either aryl-substituted 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles or the corresponding isoxazoles. The nature and position of the substituents in the aromatic ring of the starting 2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters affect the reaction rate but have no effect on the regioselectivity of the attack by the nitrosyl cation on the three-membered ring. A dependence of the reactivity of isomeric substrates on their stereochemistry and position of the nitro group in the aromatic ring is noted for 2- and 4-nitrophenyl derivatives of esters of cis- and trans-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids.     

Tautomerism of azine derivatives. 7. Thermodynamic parameters of the 1,3-prototropic tautomeric equilibrium of azahetarylmethanes

The constants of the hetaryl-ylidene tautomeric equilibrium in CDCl₃ over a wide range of temperatures were measured for azinylmalonic and azinylcyanoacetic acid esters. High-temperature sensitivity of the position of the equilibrium for 2-pyrimidinylcyanoacetic acid esters was demonstrated. The differences in the S values of the equilibrium for derivatives of malonic and cyanoacetic acid esters were explained by different freedoms of rotation about the exocyclic C-C bond in the aromatic tautomeric form.See [1] for communication 6.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 832–834, June, 1984.     

New fatty monoesters of erythromycin A

New fatty polyenic (linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic, linoelaidic) mono esters of erythromycin A have been synthesized by using various reagents such as acyl chloride, carboxylic acid anhydride, and mixed carbonic anhydride. These different ways of activating the fatty acid allowed a regioselectivity of esterification at position 2' of the desosamine ring or position 4" of the cladinose ring of erythromycin A. The in vitro antibacterial properties of these new esters against members of the resident flora of the human skin were determined and compared with those of erythromycin A. The number and the stereochemistry of the double bonds seem to play a crucial role in the expression of the in vitro antibacterial activity.

采用高效液相色谱法,以9-蒽醛为衍生试剂,在5种多糖衍生物的手性固定相(CSPs)上对几种α-氨基酸甲酯对映体进行了手性分离。色谱条件如下: 流动相为含3%～10%(v/v)异丙醇的正己烷溶液,流速为1.0 mL/min,检测波长为254 nm。结果表明,α-氨基酸甲酯-9-蒽醛亚胺衍生物在Chiralcel OD柱或Chiralcel OD-H柱上的手性分离结果优于其他CSPs,而且在Chiralcel OD柱或Chiralcel OD-H柱上全部得到了基线拆分(α=1.24～5.47, Rs=2.56～13.90), L-对映体在这两种色谱柱上的保留强于D-对映体。同时还考察了几种脂肪胺在5种多糖衍生物手性固定相上的对映体拆分效果,结果表明脂肪胺的9-蒽醛亚胺衍生物在Chiralcel OD柱或Chiralcel OD-H柱上的分离效果良好。该法可用于其他α-氨基酸酯和胺类化合物对映体的分析。     

Intramolecularly competitive Ireland-Claisen rearrangements: scope and potential applications to natural product synthesis

A variety of bis-allylic esters were prepared by vinylmetal addition to cycloalkenones followed by esterification either in situ or in a separate operation. For chiral cyclohexenones, the vinyl additions generally occurred with >10:1 diastereoselectivity. Although in some cases the bis-allylic esters proved to be sensitive to silica gel or other adsorbents, all of the esters examined could be isolated in acceptable purity. The Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of the bis-allylic esters occurred with complete regioselectivity via the exocyclic alkene. The alkene stereochemistry and the stereochemistry at C-2 and C-3 of the pentenoic acid products were consistent with a chairlike transition state in the rearrangement. Substituents at the carbons adjacent to the allylic carbinol carbon (i.e., C-2 or C-6 in cyclohexenone-derived substrates) directed the stereochemical course of the rearrangement. The rearrangements generally proceeded so as to place the larger of the C-2 or C-6 substituents in the pseudoequatorial position with respect to the chairlike transition state. For a bis-allylic ester bearing both a C-2-CH(3) and a C-6-OMEM substituent, the rearrangement product resulted from the nominally smaller OMEM substituent occupying a pseudoequatorial position with respect to the chairlike transition state.     

高效液相色谱法测定猪油甘油三酯中的脂肪酸位置分布

 建立了一种采用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)分析猪油甘油三酯中的脂肪酸组成及其位置分布的方法。利用sn-1,3位专一性脂肪酶对甘油三酯sn-1,3位上的脂肪酸进行水解,形成sn-2位甘油单酯和游离脂肪酸；之后,通过甘油三酯中脂肪酸总含量和sn-1,3位上脂肪酸含量之间的差值计算出sn-2位上的脂肪酸含量。利用2-溴苯乙酮仅同游离脂肪酸作用的特点,将脂肪酸酯化为苯乙酰甲酯,然后进行HPLC分析。分析所用色谱柱为ZORBAX SB C18柱,以十七酸作为内标，甲醇-乙腈-水为流动相,采用梯度洗脱(梯度洗脱程序为甲醇-乙腈-水由80∶10∶10（体积比，下同）在35 min内线性变化到86∶10∶4,然后在5　min内恢复到起始比例，流动相流速为1 mL/min),通过测定苯乙酰甲酯在254 nm处的吸光度值来测定脂肪酸含量。结果表明,猪油甘油三酯中的脂肪酸主要是棕榈酸和油酸(分别占总量的26.61%和43.18%),其中油酸主要分布于sn-1,3位上,而棕榈酸分布于sn-2位上。这些测定结果与传统气相色谱法的测定结果相吻合。该方法简单可行,省去了传统测定中费时的薄层色谱分离步骤,可成为一种有效的实验室分析方法。

Preparation of azidoaryl- and azidoalkyloxazoles for click chemistry

A series of azidoaryl- and azidoalkyl(diphenyl)oxazole scaffolds were warranted for biofilm inhibition studies. Cyclization of azidoaryl- or azidoalkyl esters of benzoin with ammonium acetate in acetic acid gives 2-azidoaryl- or 2-azidoalkyl-4,5-diphenyloxazoles. The azidoaryl esters are prepared from the corresponding azidocarboxylic acids/acid chlorides while the azidoalkyl esters are prepared from the corresponding haloalkyl esters.     

Synthesis and in solution behaviour of new 2-substituted-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid derivatives

A number of 2-substituted-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized by cyclocondensation of L-cysteine or its esters with various aldehydes, resulting from acids provided with antiinflammatory properties. In the cyclocondensation a new chiral center at C-2 position of thiazolidine ring is formed giving rise to a mixture of diastereoisomers which can be partially separated. These diastereoisomers show in solution a fast epimerisation at the same chiral center as evidenced by ¹H-nmr studies.

The effect of fluorinated terminal chains on the mesomorphic properties of 4,4'-disubstituted phenyl benzoates

A variety of 4,4'-disubstituted phenyl benzoates having a terminal chain containing multifluorine atoms, attached directly to the benzene ring or through an ester group, have been synthesized and their mesomorphic properties determined by hot stage polarizing optical microscopy. These properties were compared to those of the corresponding hydrogenated esters and to other esters containing rigid terminal chains. Usually transition temperatures were higher and mesophase ranges wider than those observed for the parent compounds but no nematic phases were found. Any mesophase seen was usually a smectic A phase sometimes accompanied by a smectic C phase. Crystal E phases were found along with the smectic A phase in alkyl or alkoxy esters having a C₉F₁₉CO₂ chain on the acid side. A first order smectic A-smectic C transition was observed in the ester with CN on the acid side and O₂CC₇F₁₅ on the phenol side. A comparison of the effect of a terminal fluorinated chain and a lateral fluorine group on one set of esters is also included.

Ferrocene compounds XXIII. Synthesis and reactions of the new type of methyl ferrocyloxyalkanoates

The new types of ferrocenyloxaaliphatic acid ester, FcCHROCHR′COOMe (R = H, Me, Ph; R′ = H, Me) (7) have been prepared by the action of alkoxides derived from methyl glycolate or methyl lactate on the corresponding ferrocenylcarbinyl acetates (2) or N,N,N-trimethylferrocylammonium iodides (4). The esters obtained were accompanied by a small quantity of oligomeric esters, FcCHR(OCHR′CO)_n OMe (9), and with more or less ferrocyl methyl ethers (8). As opposed to the alkaline hydrolysis of the analogous methyl benzoxyacetate (6) into benzoxyacetic acid (5) the acidification of sodium alkanoates 10 obtained by saponification of esters 7 gave unexpectedly the corresponding ferrocenylcarbinols 1. In a similar way the esters 7 were converted into mixtures of the mentioned carbinols and diferrocyl ethers 11 under action of aqueous hydrochloric acid. The mechanisms of the reactions 10 → 1 and 7 → 1, 11 are discussed.     

Double bond migration to methylidene positions during electron ionization mass spectrometry of branched monounsaturated fatty acid derivatives

Electron ionization mass spectra of several monounsaturated methyl-branched fatty acid methyl and trimethylsilyl esters were examined. These spectra exhibited some intensive fragment ions, whose formation could be explained after double-bond migration to methylidene position. This preferential migration (substantiated by deuterium labeling) acts significantly in the case of monounsaturated fatty acid methyl and trimethylsilyl esters possessing a methyl branch localized between the penultimate and the C₄ positions (relative to the ester group), whatever the position of the double-bond. Allylic cleavage and γ-hydrogen rearrangement of the ionized methylidene group thus formed afforded very interesting fragment ions, which could be particularly useful to determine branching positions of monounsaturated methyl-branched fatty acid methyl and trimethylsilyl esters without additional treatment.     

Mass spectrometry of 3-methoxy fatty acid methyl esters

Fatty acids with a hydroxyl moiety at the C-3 position are found widely in bacterial lipids, but only rarely in mammalian lipids. The mass spectra of the methyl ether derivative of these hydroxy acids exhibit an intense ion at m/e 75, rather than the rearrangement ion at m/e 74 more typical of fatty acid methyl esters. The mass spectrometric behavior of several 3-methoxy fatty acid methyl esters were studied, and the origin of the unique ion at m/e 75 was established using ¹⁸O and ²H labeled analogs and metastable ion transitions. this ion was shown to arise from the loss of ketene from the 3,4 cleavage ion at m/e 117.     

Condensations of dehydroacetic acid at the 6-methyl position

Dehydroacetic acid in the presence of two equivalents of sodium amide in liquid ammonia underwent methylation at the acetyl methyl position. In contrast, treatment of dehydroacetic acid with three equivalents of sodium amide converted it to a trianion which underwent condensations with electrophiles predominantly at the 6-Me position. The condensations included alkylation with alkyl halides, carbonyl addition with benzophenone, conjugate addition with chalcone, and acylation with aromatic esters. The benzoylation product was converted by acid treatment into 3,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzophenone. Methylation of both the 6-methyl and the acetyl methyl positions was accomplished by treatment of dehydroacetic acid trianion with excess methyl iodide.     

Equilibrium shift in the rhodium-catalyzed acyl transfer reactions

Rhodium/phosphine complexes catalyze equilibrium acyl transfer reactions between acid fluorides, aryl esters, acylphosphine sulfides, and thioesters. The use of appropriate co-substrates to accept heteroatom groups shifted the equilibrium to desired products. Acylphosphine sulfides and aryl esters were converted to acid fluorides using benzoylpentafluorobenzene as the fluoride donor, and the fluorination reaction of thioesters employed (4-tolylthio)pentafluorobenzene. Acid fluorides were converted into acylphosphine sulfides and thioesters using diphosphine disulfides and disulfides/triphenylphosphine, respectively. Aryl esters were obtained from acid fluorides and phenols in the presence of triphenylsilane. Aryl esters, acylphosphine sulfides, and thioesters were also interconverted in the presence of rhodium complexes. These rhodium-catalyzed acyl transfer reactions proceeded under neutral conditions without using acid or base. The involvement of acyl rhodium intermediates in these reactions was suggested by the carbothiolation reaction of thioesters and alkynes.
