Über Pterinchemie. 72. Mitteilung. Trennung der Diastereomeren (6R)- und (6S)-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-L-biopterin

Separation of the Diastereomers (6R)- and (6S)-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-L -biopterin The mixture of the diastereomers of the tetraacetylderivative IV of (6RS)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L -biopterin could be separated by fractional crystallisation in methanol into the diastereomers IV A and IV B. Hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid gives the pure, diastereomeric, (6R)- and (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L -biopterins.     

[1] Benzofuro[2,3-d] pyridazines. VI. Etude des reactions de scission des acyltetrahydrobenzofuropyridazones

The cleavage of the pyridazine ring of the acyltetrahydro [1] benzofuro [2,3-d] pyridazones was carried out by hydrolysis, alcoholysis or aminolysis reactions and they affect the lactam 3,4-bond. They lead chiefly to benzofuran derivatives with acid, ester, amide or hydrazide groups in the 2-position and eventually an acylated methylhydrazine group in the 3-position. The cyclization reactions of 3-hydrazinomethylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives or ethyl 3-bromome thylbenzofuran-2-carboxylate affords tetrahydrobenzofuropyridazones. The nmr spectra were studied.     

Syntheses and PE-Spectroscopic Investigations of 2,6- and 3,5-Bridged 1,4-Dimethylidenecyclohexanes

Three 1,4-dimethylidenecyclohexanes, bridged in the 2,6- and 3,5-positions by two ethano ( 4 ), one ethano and one propano ( 5 ), and two propano bridges ( 6 ) have been synthesized. The interaction of the two exocyclic methylidene groups has been investigated by He(I) photoelectron (PE) spectroscopy. It revealed a slightly larger energy difference (0.8 eV) for 4 and 5 as compared to the parent 1,4-dimethylidenecyclohexane ( 7 ) (0.7 eV). The interpretation of the PE spectra was based on the comparison with PE data of related systems and with the results of semiempirical calculations on 4–6 .     

Umsetzungen von Ferrocenol und 1,1′-Ferrocendiol mit Cyclotriphosphazenen,P3N3F6 und P3N3Cl6

Reactions of Ferrocenol and 1,1′-Ferrocendiol with Cyclotriphosphazenes, P₃N₃F₆ and P₃N₃Cl₆ The hexahalogeno-cyclotriphosphazenes, P₃N₃X₆ (X ? F ( 1 a ), Cl ( 1 b )), react with ferrocenol (FcOH) in a molar ratio 1 : 1 to give the ferrocenoxy derivatives, FcO[P₃N₃X₅] (X ? F ( 3 a ), Cl ( 3 b )); in an analogous manner the tetrameric ring P₄N₄Cl₈ ( 2 b ) is converted to FcO[P₄N₄Cl₇] ( 4 b ).

1 Abkürzungen: Fc = Ferrocenyl, (C₅H₅)Fe(C₅H_4?); fc = 1,1′-ferrocendiyl, Fe(C₅H_4?)₂; rc = 1,1′-ruthenocendiyl, Ru(C₅H_4?)₂. Fluorphosphazene werden mit a , Chlorphosphazene mit b gekennzeichnet.

With 1,1′-ferrocenediol, (fc(OH) ₂ ), the cyclo triphosphazenes react in a molar ratio 1 : 1 to produce fcO ₂ [P ₃ N ₃ X ₄ ] (X ? F ( 5 a ), Cl ( 5 b )). According to the x-ray structure analysis, the 1,1′-ferrocenediolato group in 5 a , b is bound to two different phosphorus atoms. On the contrary, the 1,1′-ferrocenedithiolato- and 1,1′-ferrocenediselenolato units in fcS ₂ [P ₃ N ₃ X ₅ ] (X ? F ( 6 a ), Cl ( 6 b )) and fcSe ₂ [P ₃ N ₃ X ₅ ] (X ? F ( 7 a ), Cl ( 7 b )) are attached to only one phosphorus atom, and spirocyclic 1,3-dichalcogena-2-phospha-[3]ferrocenophanes are formed. All new products have been characterized on the basis of their ¹ H, ¹³ C and ³¹ P NMR as well as EI mass spectra. The molecular structures of 5 a , b and 6 a have been determined by x-ray structure analyses.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(methyltriphenylphosphonium) Hexabromotellurate(IV)‐bis{dibromoselenate(II)}, [PMePh3]2[TeBr6(SeBr2)2], the Salt of a Mixed‐valence Bromotellurate(IV)‐Selenate(II) Anion

Brown crystals of [PMePh₃]₂[TeBr₆(SeBr₂)₂] ( 1 ) were obtained when selenium and bromine (1:1) react in acetonitrile solution in the presence of tellurium(IV) bromide and methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. The salt 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1¯ with the cell dimensions a = 10.3630(14)Å, b = 11.5140(12)Å, c = 11.7605(17)Å, α = 108.643(9)°, β = 106.171(10)° and γ = 99.077(9)° (296 K). In the solid state the [TeBr₆(SeBr₂)₂]^2— anion contains a nearly regular [TeBr₆] octahedron where the four equatorial bromo ligands each have developed a bond to the Se^II atom of a SeBr₂ molecule. The contacts between the bridging bromo and the Se^II atoms of the SeBr₂ molecules are observed in the range 3.11—3.21Å, and can be interpreted as bonds of the donor‐acceptor type with the bridging bromo ligands as donors and the SeBr₂ molecules as acceptors. The Te^IV—Br distances are in the range 2.67—2.72Å, and the Se^II—Br bond lengths in coordinated SeBr₂ molecules in the range 2.33—2.34Å.     

Über Pterinchemie. 68 Mitteilung [1]. Regiospezifische Deuterierungen von Folsäure

Regiospecific deuteriation of folic acid Introduction of a nitroso function at the N (10)-position of folic acid activates the C(9)-hydrogen atoms in such a way, that the exchange of H with D at this position, in NaOD-solution, is extremely facilitated. This fact is utilized in the synthesis of 9,9-dideuterio-folic acid (IV), 7,9,9-trideuterio-folic acid (VII) and 7-deuterio-folic acid (IX). These three products are necessary for the ¹H-NMR.-spectroscopical determination of the conformation of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid and its derivatives.

A convenient synthesis of new aminomethylenedioxypyrroloindoles via an iminium salt

Cyclization of 2-(1-pyrrolyl)piperonylcarboxamide derivatives gave iminium perchlorates which afforded 9-(N-substituted-imino) and 9-(N-substituted amino)-6,7-methylenedioxypyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles.     

Polymerization and polymers of silicic acid

Linear relationships among molecular weight, polymerization time, and gelation for the condensation of any monomer, including those of unknown size and functionality, are developed and applied to data on soluble silicic acids generated from tetraethyl silicate and from sodium silicate. The results suggest the formation of monomers containing ca. 12–15 ? OSi units with functionality of ca. 2.05 that condense with a rate constant of ca. 10^?4 liter/mole sec and an activation energy of 40–70 kJ/mole. One model compatible with these characteristics and the stoichiometry involved is a ladder polymer ca. 3 ? SiO units wide. Polymer isolation was achieved by replacing residual ? OH with (CH₃)₃Sio? , as well as by freezing of of aqueous solutions, which yielded fibers under special conditions. Solutions of the uncapped and capped polymers and melts of the latter had low viscosity even for fractions with M?_n ～100,000. This implies a coiled or globular nature for the polymers, which is supported by their limited propensity for film and fiber formation. Attemps to improve this situation by copolymerization, the use of other capping agents, and by the polymerization of precapped monomers were unsuccessful.     

New Dolabellane Derivatives from the Brown Alga Dictyota pardalis

Reinvestigation of the brown alga Dictyota pardalis f. pseudohamata CRIBB led to the crystallization of 1 and to the isolation of the two new dolabellane derivatives 2 and 3 . X-Ray analysis of 1 and 2 , together with detailed 1D-and 2D-NMR studies on 2 and 3 , allowed their structures to be elucidated as (1R*,3S*,7S*,11R*,4Z)-dolabella-4,8(17), 12(18)-triene-3,7-diol ( 1 ), (1R*,3S*,4S*,7S*,8S*,11R*,14R*,12E)-3,4:7,8-diepoxydolabe11-12-ene-14, 18-diol ( 2 ), and (1R*,3S*,4S*,7S*,8S*,11R*,14R*)-3,4:7,8-diepoxy-l,4,8,12,12-pentamethylbicyclo[9. 3. 0]tetra-decan-14-ol( 3 ).
