Study of furan compounds

Research on synthesis of polycyclic spirans of the 1, 6-dioxaspiro-[4, 4]nonane group is continued. Electrolysis of methanol solutions of 2-furylcyclopentanol, 2-(5-methyl-furfuryl)cyclopentanol, and 2-furfuryl-1-indanol, gives, by intramolecular alkoxylation, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5dihydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, hitherto undescribed in the literature. Depending on the conditions, catalytic hydrogenation of these gives: spiro{perhydiocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{2, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}.For Part XXXI see [1].     

Polarographic behavior of 2,2′-bifuryl and 2,2′-furoin

In aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic buffer solutions at pH<9, 2, 2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin give two-electron polarographic electroreduction waves, the half-wave potentials of which depend on the pH. The primary product of the electroreduction of 2, 2-bifuryl is trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(, -furyl)ethylene, which then rearranges into 2, 2-furoin. The anode-cathode wave of 2,2-bifuryl has been studied by means of a Kalousek commutator. It has been shown that the polarographic behavior of 2,2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin is similar to that of benzil and benzoin, but differs from the behavior of analogs of the pyridine series.

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M. Ya. Karpeiskii for his constant interest in this research.

Vanadyl ion complexes with nucleotides

Summary Complexes of adenosine-5-triphosphate, adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, cytidine-5-monophosphate and uridine-5-monophosphate with vanadyl ion, have been studied in the solid state by i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. All complexes have normal magnetic moments, very close to the spin-only values. From the i.r. spectra it is suggested that the vanadyl ion is interacting with adenosine-5-triphosphate, through the N-1 of the purine ring, with adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, through the N-7 of the purine ring, with cytidine-5-monophosphate through the N-3 of the pyrimidine ring, and most probably through the phosphate group with uridine-5-monophosphate. The complexes of vanadyl ion with the nucleotides are probably polymeric.     

Nitration,amination, and halogenation of Di-O-methylphloracetophenone

Chlorination of the title compound gave 5- and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone. The nitration of its acetate, followed successively by reduction, diazotization, and reaction with cuprous chloride, gave the 3-substituted series, 2-acetoxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3-nitroacetophenone, 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone, and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-methoxyacetophenone, respectively. The orientation of substituents in the products was proved. The amino and chloro members of the isomeric 5-substituted series were availablevia 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy-5-phenylazoacetophenone, the product of the reaction of the title compound with benzenediazonium chloride.

Contributions to silica gel application in pesticide residue analysis

Summary An on-line method for the extraction and isolation of pesticides in milk and dairy products is discussed. Milk and aqueous dairy products are homogenized with silica gel. This sample having a water content of approximately 40% is brought into a column, which is filled with the 10% water silica gel necessary for the clean-up. Extraction and clean-up of the pesticides occurs on-line with light petroleum — dichloromethane 80+20 (v/v). The pesticides move with the solvent front from the upper silica gel to the lower 10% water column, where they are cleaned up. Quantitative identification of the pesticides is performed by glass capillary gas chromatography (ECD) as well as by mass spectroscopy. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachloroepoxide, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl were identified in milkThe hexachlorobiphenyl concentrations in milk are about 20 times the value of o,p-DDT and p,p-DDT.

Beiträge zur Verwendung von Kieselgel in der PesticidanalytikIII. On-Line-Verfahren zur Extraktion und zur Isolierung von Chlorkohlenwasserstoff-Pesticiden und polychlorierten Biphenylen aus Milch und Molkereiprodukten

Zusammenfassung Eine on-line-Methode zur Extraktion und Isolierung der Chlorkohlenwasserstoff-Pesticide in Milch und Milchprodukten wird beschrieben. Milch und wäßrige Milchprodukte werden zuerst mit Kieselgel homogenisiert. Diese Probenhomogenisate mit einem Wassergehalt von etwa 40% werden anschließend in eine Chromatographiesäule gefüllt, in der sich bereits das für den clean-up erforderliche Kieselgel mit 10% Wasserbelegung befindet. Die Extraktion bzw. der clean-up der Pesticide erfolgt on-line mit Petrolether-Dichlormethan 80+20 (v/v). Die Pesticide werden in der Lösungsmittelfront von der oberen auf die untere Kieselgelsäule (10% Wassergehalt) transportiert, an welcher schließlich die Abtrennung der Pesticide von den Störkomponenten erfolgt. Die Identifizierung und Quantifizierung der Pesticide erfolgt sowohl gas-chromatographisch (ECD) an Capillarsäulen als auch massenspektrometrisch. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachlorepoxid, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl und 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl wurden in der Milch gefunden. Die Gehalte der beiden Hexachlorbiphenylkomponenten sind etwa 20mal so groß wie die von o,p-DDT und p,p-DDT.

Conclusions The reaction of primary amines with succinonitrile leads to the formation of N,N,N,N-tetrasubstituted amidines and the liberation of 2 M of NH₃. The reaction of secondary amines with succinonitrile proceeds as an intramolecular condensation with the liberation of 1 M of NH₃ per mole of the dinitrile and the formation of the ^2,5–, -dialkylaminopyrrolene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2722–2725, December, 1973.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.
