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.

2,2-Diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indol-1,1-dioxid: Molekulare Wechselwirkungen und Kristallstruktur

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.

     

Convergent synthesis of 2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-mercapto nucleosides — Potential anti-HIV agents

Summary Methyl 3-benzoylthio-5-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2,3-dideoxy--D-erythro-pentofuranoside (4) and its corresponding anomer5 were synthesized in four steps from 2-deoxy-D-ribose and used as substrates for the synthesis of nucleosides by condensation with silylated thymidine and N⁶-isobutyryladenine. The nucleosides were deprotected by treatment with Bu₄NF inTHF followed by reaction with MeONa in MeOH to give 3-deoxy-3-mercaptothymidine (8), 2,3-dideoxy-3-mercaptoadenosine (15) and its corresponding anomer16. In the latter reactions it was important to use degassed solvents to minimize formation of the corresponding disulfides of purine nucleosides. Using Bu₄NF, without subsequent reaction with MeONa in the deprotection reaction, resulted in intermolecular transesterification reactions.On leave from Chemistry Department, Faculties of Science and Education, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt

Glykosylazide als Ausgangsbasis zur Gewinnung von Nucleosidanalogen, 3. Mitt. Synthese von Alkylaminotetrazol- und Uretidinonnucleosiden

The -ribofuranosylazide1 is transformed after usual derivatization by suitable protecting groups into the P–N-ylid2, which gives the corresponding N-Glykosyl-N-alkylcarbodiimides4 and a small amount of the glykosylisocyanatde-rivative3 by reaction with alkylisocyanates. The carbodiimides4 were reacted with hydrazoic acid to give the alkylaminotetrazolnucleosides5 and finally the free nucleosidanalogs6. In the case of5 c the 5-aziridinyltetrazolnucleosid5 h was formed by an usual neighbouring group reaction. In addition the compound1 is transformed into the 3,5-diprotected anchor derivative7 by reaction withTIPSCl₂. The latter could be transformed by usual steps into the alkylaminotetra-zolnucleosides8 with a free 2-OH group. In the next step the 2-p-tolylthiocarbo-nates9 were prepared followed by transformation to the 2-desoxynucleosides10 by means of tributyltinhydride. Finally the free 2-desoxynucleosides11 were prepared. By reacting the carbodiimides4 with phenylisocyanate a mixture of the two possible regiouretidinonnucleosidderivatives12 and13 are formed. In the case of the N-glykosyl-N-allylcarbodiimide4 d only the one isomer13 d arises.

Zur Chemie des „Dinaphthyldichinhydron”

Dinaphthyldiquinhydrone (4) first obtained byStenhouse andGroves ² reacts as well as 4,4-bi-(1,2-naphthoquinone)¹ with aniline and substituted anilines to give anilinoquinones2 a-h. However, yields of2 are considerable higher if4 is used. The IR-Spectrum of4 is very similar to that of 2,11-dihydroxy-3,10-perylenquinone, therefore we suggest for4 a the structure of a 3,3-dihydroxy-4,4-dioxo-1,1, 4,4-tetrahydro-1,1-binaphthylidene, at least in the solid state.

Ab initio studies of the low-lying π-states of borazine

Self-consistent-field and configuration-interaction studies were performed on borazine, using a double-zeta basis set augmented by six diffuse -functions. Low-lying singlet and triplet states of the A ₁ , A ₂ and E species were calculated, corresponding to ^* excited valence and Rydberg states. A selection out of singly and doubly excited configurations relative to a set of reference configurations was made for each species. Calculated vertical excitation energies (in eV) are 7.12 for ¹ A ₂(V), 8.45 for ¹ E (3p-R), 8.57 for ¹ A ₁(V), 8.9 for ¹ E(V-R), 9.55 for ¹ E(3d-R), 6.98 for ³ A ₁(_V), 7.27 for ³ E(V), 7.82 for ³ A ₂(V), 8.30 for ³ E(3p-R), and 9.5 for ³ E(3d-R), where V and R refer to valence or Rydberg character. The results are compared with experimental excitation energies, previous ab initio studies of borazine, and with recent ab initio studies of benzene.Dedicated to Professor Dr. H. Hartmann on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

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.

Quantum-chemical study of allylic compounds with two bonded heavy atoms

It has been shown by the CNDO method that the bathochromic shift of the long-wave absorption band in the transition from allylstannane to compounds of the type C=C-C-Sn-X and C=C-Sn-X (where X is a heavy atom) is connected with the formation of a low-energy vacant *_S-X orbital, localized mainly in the region of the Sn-X chemical bond, and of an occupied _Sn-X orbital, the energy of which is somewhat higher than of the _C-Sn orbital. The dependence of the position of the long-wave absorbance region on conformation is related to the fact that, in planar and nonplanar conformers, the long-wave transitions are of a different type ( * and *, respectively); the bathochromic shift is determined to a large degree by the difference in the energies of the highest occupied MO ( - ) in the s-trans form. In the nonplanar conformers the heavy atom orbitals interact with the -orbital of the ethylene moiety through the bridge group; this leads to a significant delocalization of the HOMO and to a considerable change in its energy. On the other hand, their interaction with the *-orbital in compounds of the C=C-C-Sn-X type is very low and does not favor the delocalization of lower vacant MO. In vinyldistannane the *-orbital is noticeably delocalized, due to the interaction with the *_Sn-Sn orbital in planar and with the *_Sn-Sn orbital in nonplanar conformers.N. D.
