Some reactions of 3-hydroxythietane

3-Hydroxythietane is readily oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in acetone or acetic acid solution at 0°C to give 3-hydroxythietane-1-oxide. 3-Thietyl acetate is oxidized similarly. 3-Hydroxythietane-1-oxide reacts vigorously with SOCl₂ in benzene, with the formation of bis-2, 3-dichloropropyl disulfide. 3-Hydroxythietane-1,1-dioxide reacts with phosgene to give 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide chloroformate, which gives with diethylamine 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide N, N-dimethylcarbamate. Sodium peroxide and barium perbenzoate with the chloroformate give the corresponding di-(3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide) peroxydicarbonate and 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide perbenzoate.     

Synthesis of deuterium-labeled derivatives of dimethylallyl diphosphate

Short practical syntheses for five deuterium-labeled derivatives of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) useful for enzymological studies are reported. These include the preparation of the C1-labeled derivatives (R)-[1-2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((R)-[1-2H]1-OPP) and (S)-[1-2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((S)-[1-2H]1-OPP), the C2-labeled derivative [2-2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ([2-2H]1-OPP), and the methyl-labeled derivatives (E)-[4,4,4-2H3]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((E)-[4,4,4-2H3]1-OPP) and (Z)-[4,4,4-2H3]3-methyl-but-2-enyl diphosphate ((Z)-[4,4,4-2H3]1-OPP).     

Hydrothiolysis of carbofunctional α,β-unsaturated sulfides as an approach to the synthesis of 1,7-dithiocarbonyl compounds

Bis(1-N,N-dimethylimmonio-3-phenylprop-2-en-3-yl) sulfide diperchlorate and (1-N,N-dimethyl-immonio-3-phenylprop-2-en-3-yl) (5,5-dimethyl-1-morpholiniocyclohex-2-en-3-yl) sulfide diperchlorate react with hydrogen sulfide giving rise to the corresponding 1,7-thioxoimmonio sulfides. Treating with the hydrogen sulfide (1-N,N-dimethylimmonio-3-phenylprop-2-en-3-yl) (1-oxo-2-phenyl-inden-3-yl) sulfide perchlorate led to preparation of (1-oxo-2-phenylinden-3-yl) (1-thioxo-3-phenylprop-2-en-3-yl) sulfide. The hydrothiolysis of (5,5-dimethyl-1-morpholiniocyclohex-2-en-3-yl) (1-N,N-dimethylimmonio-2-phenylinden-3-yl) sulfide diperchlorate and (5,5-dimethyl-1-morpholiniocyclohex-2-en-3-yl) (1-oxo-2-phenylinden-3-yl) sulfidea perchlorate resulted in products of the sulfide bond cleavage in the initial immonium salts.     

Synthesis of fragments of the glycocalyx glycan of the parasite Schistosoma mansoni

The chemical synthesis of alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1 --> 4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GalpO(CH2)5NH2, beta-D-GalpNAc-(1 --> 4)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-]beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GalpO(CH2)5NH2, and alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1 --> 4)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1 --> 3)-]beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GalpO(CH2)5NH2 is described. These structures represent fucosylated oligosaccharide fragments of the glycocalyx glycan of the cercarial stage of the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, and in protein-conjugated form they are potential diagnostics in the search for antibodies raised against the glycan in the serum of infected humans.     

Theoretical study of low-lying triplet states of aniline

Multireference complete active space self-consistent-field CASSCF(10,12)/ANO and second-order perturbation theory MS-CASPT2 calculations were performed to determine the vertical low-lying singlet and triplet states of aniline. The sequence of the seven lower lying triplet states is T1(1(3)A'), T2(1(3)A' '), T3(2(3)A'), T4(3(3)A'), T5(2(3)A' '), T6(4(3)A'), and T7(3(3)A' '). The 3(3)A', 4(3)A', and 3(3)A' ' states are assigned as 3s, 3py, and 3pz Rydberg states, respectively, while other states correspond to pi <-- pi excitations. Both the T1 and T2 states are found to be below at the lowest-lying singlet S1 (1(1)A' ') state. Geometry, vibrational modes, and electron distribution of the lowest lying T1 state were determined using UB3LYP calculations. The vertical and adiabatic singlet-triplet energy gaps DeltaE(S0-T1) amount to 3.7 and 3.5 +/- 0.2 eV, respectively. In clear contrast with the S0 state, the triplet aniline is no longer aromatic, and its protonation occurs preferentially at the ring meta-carbon site, with a proton affinity PA = 243 +/- 3 kcal/mol.     

Theoretical study of electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of Ga3Sn, GaSn3, and their ions

Ground and excited states of mixed gallium stannide tetramers (Ga3Sn, Ga3Sn+, Ga3Sn-, GaSn3, GaSn3+, and GaSn3-) are investigated employing the complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF), density function theory (DFT), and the coupled-cluster single and double substitution (including triple excitations) (CCSD(T)) methods. The ground states of Ga3Sn, Ga3Sn+, and Ga3Sn- are found to be the 2A1, 3B1, and 1A1 states in C2v symmetry with a planar quadrilateral geometry, respectively. The ground states of GaSn3 and GaSn3- is predicted to be the 2A1 and 1A1 states in C2v point group with a planar quadrilateral structure, respectively, while the ground state of GaSn3+ is the 1A1 state with ideal triangular pyramid C3v geometry. Equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, binding energies, electron affinities, ionization energies, and other properties of Ga3Sn and GaSn3 are computed and discussed. The anion photoelectron spectra of Ga3Sn- and GaSn3- are also predicted. It is interesting to find that the amount of charge transfer between Ga and Sn2 atoms in the 1A1 state of GaSn3+ greatly increases upon electron ionization from the 2A1 state of GaSn3, which may be caused by large geometry change. On the other hand, the results of the low-lying states of Ga3Sn and GaSn3 are compared with those of Ga3Si and GaSi3.     

Multireference configuration interaction study of the electronic states of ZrC

The potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants of the ground and 32 low-lying electronic states of ZrC have been studied by employing multireference configuration interaction methods, in conjunction with relativistic effective core potentials and 5s3p3d1f, 3s3p1d basis sets con Zr and C, respectively. We have determined that the ground state is (3)Sigma(+). However there are two low-lying (1)Sigma(+) states (below 5000 cm(-1)) which strongly interact resulting in avoided crossings. The lowest (1)Sigma(+) state corresponds to a combination of 1sigma(2) Xsigma(2) 1pi(4) configurations whereas the second is an open shell singlet 1sigma(2) 2sigma(1) 3sigma(1) 1pi(4). Several avoided crossings were observed, for (1)Pi, (3)Pi, (1)Delta, (3)Sigma(+), and (3)Delta states. We have identified (3)Pi and (1)Pi lying at 4367 and 5797 cm(-1), respectively. The results are in good agreement with the recent experimental findings of Rixon et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 228, 554 (2004)], and indicate that the (3)Pi-(3)Sigma(+), and (1)Pi-(1)Sigma(+), bands located between 16 000-19 000 cm(-1) are extremely complex due to near degeneracy of several (1)Pi and (3)Pi states. We also have identified a (1)Sigma(+) state in the same region that may interfere with the (1)Pi emission bands. The present results not only shed further light into the spectra of ZrC but also predict yet to be observed systems.     

Ab initio molecular orbital study of the reactivity of active alkyl groups. V. Nitrosation mechanism of acetone with syn-form of methyl nitrite

The mechanisms of nitrosation of acetone through sodium enolate [CH3CO1CH2]-Na+ (1) or naked enolate [CH3CO1CH2]- (2) with methyl nitrite CH3O3NO2 (3), and the reactivity of the syn-form of 3 (syn-3) during the C-N bond formation process were investigated using ab initio molecular orbital (MO) methods. Our results have demonstrated the predominant formation of E-1-hydroxyimino-2-oxo-propane CH3COCH=NOH (4E) when the complex [CH3CO1CH2NO2(O3CH3)]-Na+ was produced kinetically via a metal-chelated pericyclic transition state (TS(CHELATED)), in which the O3 atom of syn-3 was coordinated to the Na+ atom of 1.

Nucleosides of 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamides were prepared by the acid-catalyzed fusion procedure and by glycosylation of the appropriate trimethylsilyl derivative. The following nucleosides were obtained in two steps starting from methyl 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylates: 5-chloro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 6 ), 3-chloro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 5 ), 3-nitro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 12 ), 3-amino-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 13 ), 5-methyl-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 15 ), and 3-methyl-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 16 ). In addition, 5-amino-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 7 ), and 1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide-5-thiol ( 8 ) were prepared from 6 .     

Differentiation of monoiodothyronines using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

In this work two monoiodothyronines, 3-T1 and 3'-T1, have been analyzed using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Fragmentation patterns were proposed based on our data obtained by ESI-MS/MS. MS2 spectra in either negative or positive ion mode can be used to differentiate 3-T1 and 3'-T1. Based on the relative abundance of fragment ions in MS2 spectra in the negative ion mode, quantification of the 3-T1 and 3'-T1 isomers in mixtures is achieved without prior separation. Solid-phase extraction in combination with ESI-MS/MS provides a practicable procedure that can be used to determine the molar ratio of 3-T1 and 3'-T1 in human serum with an error less than 3%. The detection limits for 3-T1 and 3'-T1 were 0.5 and 0.7 pg/microL, respectively.

Synthesis of Unsaturated Ketones from 3-Hydroxy-1-adamantyl Methyl Ketone

The Claisen-Schmidt reaction between 3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl methyl ketone and aromatic aldehydes (benzaldehyde and 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde) in 2-propanol catalyzed by 50% aqueous potassium hydroxide affords 1-(3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl)-3-R-2-propen-1-ones. The reaction of 3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl methyl ketone with ethyl formate and sodium in benzene gives rise to sodium enolate of 1-(3-hydroxy-1- adamantyl)-3-hydroxy-2-propen-1-one. The latter compound treated with amine hydrochlorides in 50% aqueous alcohol furnishes 1-(3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl)-3-NRR'-amino-2-propen-1-ones.     

Spin-orbit mechanism of predissociation in the Wulf band of ozone

Previously calculated resonance widths of the ground vibrational levels in the electronic states 1 (3)A" ((3)A(2)) and 1 (3)A' ((3)B(2)), which belong to the Wulf band system of ozone, are significantly smaller than observed experimentally. We demonstrate that predissociation is drastically enhanced by spin-orbit coupling between 1 (3)A"/X (1)A' and 1 (3)A'/1 (3)A". Multistate quantum mechanical calculations using ab initio spin-orbit coupling matrix elements give linewidths of optically bright components of the right order of magnitude.

Syntheses of the enantiomers of 1-deoxynojirimycin and 1-deoxyaltronojirimycin via chemo- and diastereoselective olefinic oxidation of unsaturated amines

Oxidation of enantiomerically pure (R)-N(1)-1'-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl-2,7-dihydro-1H-azepine with m-CPBA in the presence of HBF(4) and BnOH gave (3S,4R,5S,6S,1'R)-N(1)-1'-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-benzyloxy-5,6-epoxyazepane as the major product and as a single diastereoisomer after chromatography.
