Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 9. Reaction of 1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyl with organolithium compounds

The 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyl reacts with organolithium compounds to form the mixture of 4-R-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls and 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls in the ratio analogous to the conversion in the series of 2,3-biquinolyl. The utilization of the complex, the organolithium compound-TMEDA, in this process leads, after treatment of the reaction mixture with water, exclusively to 2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. Treatment with methyl iodide leads to 1-methyl-2-R-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls.

A general method has been proposed for synthesizing 3-(3-acetyl-5-aroyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl-2)-chromones that has been based on conversion of 3-formylchromones to acylhydrazones and of theacylhydrazones into the heterocyclic chromones.     

Alkaloids of Arundo donax. XII. Structure of the New Dimeric Indole Alkaloid Arundacine

The new dimeric indole alkaloid arundacine is isolated from the polar fraction of the total alkaloids from Arundo donax L. roots. The structure 3-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl-5-hydroxy-4-(3-N-acetyl-N-methylaminoethylindol-1-yl)indole is established using spectral data (IR, UV, mass, one-dimensional ¹H and ¹³C NMR, various two-dimensional spectra).     

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Synthese von 5-O-Aminosäurederivaten des Uridins als potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

Summary. ESR and ENDOR spectra are reported of several symmetrical substituted N,N,N,N-tetraalkyl-p-phenylenediamine radical cations in solution. Different N,N-alkyl substituted para-phenylenediamines, like the ethyl, n-propyl, and iso-propyl derivative are compared with the parent N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (Wursters Blue Cation). N,N,N,N-Tetrabenzyl-p-phenylenediamine, 1,4-dipyrrolidinylbenzene, and N,N-bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]piperazine are additionally investigated. Experimental and calculated hyperfine coupling constants are compared. Characteristic UV-VIS data and redox potentials in acetonitrile are reported, together with the syntheses of the compounds.     

2-Spiroanellated 1,3-Benzodioxoles from the Reaction of 2,3-Dihydro-1 H-pyrrol-3-ones with Tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone

Novel spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-2,2-(2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ones)] were obtained from 2-aminomethylene-2,3-dihydropyrrol-3(1H)-ones and tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone in ethanol at room temperature. However, in addition, 3,4-dichloro-7-methoxy-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,10-dihydrophenazine-1,2-dione was formed in the reaction of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenylaminomethylene)-4,5-diphenyl-1,2-dihydropyrrol-3-one with tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone.     

Effects of an avoided crossing on linewidths of resonances in the H2 i3Π g state

We have investigated the influence of nonadiabatic effects on the linewidths of quasi-bound rovibrational levels in the i³ _g state of molecular hydrogen. This state has a potential barrier due to the interaction of then=3³ _g Rydberg series and the Q1³ _g valence state. The radial coupling with the higher lying³ _g states has been modelled into a diabatic problem. The widths of thev=4 and 5 levels, a measure for their lifetimes, have been determined both in the adiabatic i³ _g potential, and in the two-state system. The results show small shifts of the i³ _g (v=4,5;N=1) levels of a few wavenumbers, and a significant increase of 49% in the lifetimes of these levels. Both effects are large enough to be important in spectroscopic experiments. The magnitude of the effect is in accordance with observed linewidths obtained in recent experiments. Model calculations for differently shaped potential barriers have been carried out to study the generality of the above conclusions.

Butrin was hydrolyzed using b-glucosidase to butin in high yield. They were subjected to free radical scavenging test using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) spectrophotometric assay. At a dose of 4 × 10^-8 mol of tested compounds, the percentage of reduced DPPH for butin was 14.5% while no reduction was observed for butrin (0%).     

Exciton Chirality. (A) Origins of and (B) Applications from Strongly Fluorescent Dipyrrinone Chromophores

(A) The origin of exciton interaction and examples of its application to organic stereochemistry are presented. (B) N,N-Carbonyl-bridged dipyrrinones constitute a new class of highly fluorescent chromophores suitable for investigations of stereochemistry and absolute configuration. N,N-Carbonylxanthobilirubic acid esters are strongly fluorescent, with a fluorescence quantum yield (_F) 0.8, but produce only weak exciton CD from the trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol template. The ester of an analog with benzoic acid replacing propionic, N,N-carbonyl-8-(4-carboxyphenyl)-3-ethyl-2,7,9-trimethyl-(10H)-dipyrrin-1-one, exhibits strong fluorescence (_F=0.68, _em=493nm, _ex=422nm in CHCl₃) and UV-Vis absorption (21000 at 424nm) in organic solvents. Its diester with (1S,2S)-cyclohexanediol is fluorescent and exhibits exciton circular dichroism (=+15dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1, =432nm; =–4dm³·mol^–1cm^–1, =380nm) that correlates with the Exciton Chirality Rule.     

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.

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n. The finalR andR _w were 0.089 and 0.063 for all measured reflexes.

Zusammenfassung Das Dinitron 2,2-Diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indol-1,1-dioxid wirkt als Demethylierungs- und Oxydationsmittel. Die Wechselwirkung des Dinitrons mit Elektronen-Acceptoren und Elektronen-Donatoren geht wegen der Selbstassoziation zwischen den Dinitron-Molekülen ohne die dazwischenliegende Bildung eines Charge-Transfer-Komplexes vor sich; das wird auch von Röntgenstrukturuntersuchungen gestützt. Die Kristallstruktur wurde mit direkten Methoden ermittelt:a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å; =111.2 (2)°. P2₁/n. Die endgültigen WerteR undR _w waren 0.089 und 0.063 für alle gemessenen Reflexe.
