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.     

Studies on chiral thiophosphoric acids and their derivatives: 4. The stereospecific synthesis of optically active O-ethyl O-phenyl O-(1-methyl-2-ethoxycarbonyl) vinyl phosphorothionate

The stereoisomers (3 and 4) of O-ethyl O-phenyl O-(1-methyl-2-ethoxycarbonyl) vinyl phosphorothionate have been synthesized by the reaction of optically active O-ethyl O-phenyl phosphorothiochloride 2 with ethyl acetoacetate under different conditions. 3 (100% Z-isomer, determined by ¹H NMR) was synthesized by the reaction of 2 with ethyl sodio-acetoacetate in the mixed solvent of 1:3 toluene-dioxane at 50°C. 4 (>95% E-isomer) was obtained by the reaction of 2 with ethyl acetoacetate in presence of t-BuOK in DMSO at 15°C. 100% E-isomer 4 was separated from crude 4(>95% E-isomer) by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether-ether 6:1). By this reaction either Z- or E-isomers were formed with inversion of the configuration at phosphorus atom. Thus, six stereoisomers of 3 and 4 which were prepared from 2 (RS, S, R) by the above method namely (RS)-Z, (R)-Z, (S)-Z and (RS)-E, (R)-E, (S)-E.     

Réaction d'ylures stabilisés sur des aldéhydosucres: influence de divers facteurs dont la structure de l'aldéhydosucre sur le pourcentage d'isomères géométriques obtenu

Reactions of stabilized ylides with aldehydosugars: influence of some factors, particularly the structure of the aldehydosugar, on the ratio of the geometrical isomers formed Aldehydosugars bearing no cis-substituent on the C-atom β to the carbonyl group ( 2, 3, 6, 7 ) or bearing a substituent without an electron lone-pair ( 5 ) gave, upon treatment with acetylmethylidenetriphenylphosphorane, exclusively the E-isomer, this representing the classical behaviour of aldehydes. On the other hand, aldehydosugars having a lone-pair bearing substituent ( 1, 4, 8, 9 ) gave a mixture of E- and Z-isomers. In the case of most of the aldehydosugars of the latter type (giving some Z-isomer) a partial epimerization of the C-atom α to the carbonyl group took place when the solvent of the Wittig reaction was HCONMe₂. It is probable that the presence of an electron lone-pair in the adequate position inhibits the reversion of the kinetic erythro-betaine, allowing the formation of the Z-isomer and, in particular solvent conditions, a cycloelimination leading to the epimeric aldehydosugar which ultimately reacts to give the epimeric E-enone.     

Action du cyanure mercurique sur quelques halogénures de désoxy-3-trifluoroacétamido-3-D-ribofurannosyle. Note de laboratoire

Reactions of Some 3-Deoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-D -ribofuranosyl Halides with Mercuric Cyanide The expected 2,5-anhydro-D -allononitrile 11 was obtained when the 2-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-D -ribofuranosyl bromide reacted with mercuric cyanide, whereas the isomeric 1,2-O (1-cyanoethylidene) derivative was formed from the 2-O-acetylated halide; no reaction occurred when the halide was 2-O-p-nitrobenzoylated.     

Nouveaux types de sucres acétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Novel types of acetylenic sugars The coupling, following Cadiot's procedure, of a 6-bromo-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidène-3-O-methyl-α-D -xylo-hex-5-yno-1, 4-furanose (1) with phenylacetylene, 2-propyn-1-ol or terminal acetylenic sugars gave with excellent yields the expected diynes (an enediyne when the terminal acetylene was the 3,5, 6-trideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -glycero-hex-3-en-5-yno-1,4-furanose 7 ). The chloro analogue 8 of 1 on treatment with lithium thiophenate gave the corresponding phenylthio-acetylenic sugar 9 . An acetylene was also formed by reacting the gem-difluoro-olefinic sugar 10 with butyllithium whereas the same olefinic sugar and its 3-O-benzyl analogue 11 gave only a gem-fluoro-arylthio-olefinic sugar (13–15) as a mixture of the Z and E isomers (Z/E > 4) when treated with the conjugate base of an arylmercaptan.     

Nucleosides. 117. Synthesis of 4-oxo-8-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (OPTR) via 3-amino-2N-carbamoyl-4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (ACPR) derivatives

Reaction of 2-formyl-2-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-D-ribofuranosyl)acetonitrile (VII) with semicarbazide hydrochloride followed by sodium ethoxide treatment afforded an α,β-mixture of 3-amino-2N-carbamoyl-4-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (IX). Conversion of IX to 4-oxo-8-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-D-ribofuranosyl)-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (XIII) was achieved by treatment of IX with ethylorthoformate. The β-isomer IXb gave only the β-isomer XIIIb, and the α-isomer IXa was converted exclusively into the α-isomer XIIIa. Upon deprotection with 3% n-butanolic hydrogen chloride, both IXa and IXb gave the same mixture of the α- and β-isomers of 3-amino-2N-carbamoyl-4-(D-ribosyl)pyrazole, which were separated by chromatography. The syntheses of the hitherto unknown compounds, 3-amino-2N-carbamoylpyrazole (IVa) and its 4-methyl analog (IVb) are also reported. Experimental details of the synthesis of 3-amino-4-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (XIIb), an important intermediate for “purine-like” C-nucleosides, are also described.

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.

Some sugar phosphates, phosphonates and phosphine oxides, Preliminary communication Some new phosphates of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose have been prepared. Reactions of 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-α-D -erythro-pentofuranose (9) have been studied. On treatment with phosphorus nucleophiles, 9 led to phosphorus bearing branched-chain sugar derivatives. Branched-chain cyanosugars as 15 and 16 prepared by cis-vic-dihydroxylation of 9 constitute interesting potential precursors of new types of cyclic sugar phosphates.     

A comparison of two methods for the preparation of 3-Deazapurine ribonucleosides

The reaction of the trimethylsilyl derivative of 4,6-dichloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl- D -ribofuranosyl bromide gave four nucleosides-the α- and β-anomers of the 1-isomer and the α- and β-anomers of the 3-isomer (3.9:2.7:1.5:1). In contrast, the fusion reaction of 4,6-dichloroimidazo[4,5-c ]pyridine with 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β- D -ribofuranose gave a high yield of the 1-β-isomer, which was converted to the known 3-deazaadenosine (4-amino-l-β- D -ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine).     

Ylides du soufre dérivés de sucres Communication préliminaire

S-Methylation of 6-S-benzyl-6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-α-D-xylo-6-thiohexofuranos-5-ulose ( 1 ) gave the expected sulfonium salt 2 which on alcaline treatment yielded the stable sulfur ylide 3 .

Sur le mécanisme de la réaction de meth-cohn-tarnowski de préparation des thiocoumarines

Reaction of 2-t-butylthiobenzaldehyde with N-(2-dialkylaminoethyl)-cyanacetamides followed by heating of the resulting 3-(2-t-butylthiophenyl)-2-cyanoacrylamides in polyphosphoric acid leads to the formation of 3-carboxamido-2-imino-2H-benzo[b][l]thiopyrann intermediates which afford thiocoumarins on hydrolysis. The authors postulate the intermediate formation of a thiophenate ion by an electronic mechanism involving six centers.     

Diénamines hétérocycliques. III. Réexamen de la réaction de la base de Fischer avec le tétracyanoéthylène

Heterocyclic dienamines III. A re-examination of the reaction of Fischer's base on tetracyanoethylene Depending on the order of addition, Fischer's base 5 (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylidene-indoline) reacts 1:1 with tetracyanoethylene to give either the tricyanovinylation product 6 or the spiro compound 7 . A skeletal rearrangement of a zwitterionic intermediate can explain the formation of the spiro compound. The latter undergoes a thermal isomerization yielding by ring expansion the tetrahydroquinoléine 8 . On reaction with LiAlH₄ or CH₃ONa 7 and 8 lead both to triazatetracycles. All structures are assigned on the basis of spectral data.

Propriétés de la benzopyranno[1][2,3-b]quinoxalinone-12

Under basic conditions. [1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]quioxakin-12-one leads to 3-(i-hydroxybenzoy1)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one. This ketone reacts with hydroxylamine and phenylhydrazine to give the expected derivatives or those of [1]benzopyrano92,3-b]quinoxalin-12-one. The reduction of [1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]quinoxalin-12-one was unsucessful by chemical means. However, electrochemical reduction leads to a dihydropyrazine nucleus.
