A new approach to 6-deoxy-D-allofuranose- and 6-deoxy-L-talofuranose derivatives from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene α-D-glucofuranose

3-O-Acetyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene--D-allofuranose (2 b) was prepared from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene--D-allofuranose (1 b). Treatment of2 b with triphenylphosphine-diethyl azodicarboxylate afforded regio- and stereospecifically the 5,6-epoxy--D-allo derivative (3). The other diastereomeric compound, 5,6-epoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene--L-talofuranose (6) was also prepared stereoselectively from2 b via the intermediates5 a and5 b. The epoxy sugars3 and6 were converted with lithium aluminum hydride to the corresponding 6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene--D-allofuranose (4 a) and --L-talofuranose (7 a) derivatives. Hydrolysis of4 a and7 a afforded 6-deoxy-D-allose and 6-deoxy-L-talose, respectively. The corresponding 3,5-di-O-acetyl- (4 b and7 b) and the 3,5-O-(tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl) derivatives (4 c and7 c) are also described. Selective removal of the isopropylidene group and subsequent acetylation offers a convenient route to prepare sugar derivatives containing furanose ring, like8 b, as a suitable precursor for nucleoside analogs.Herrn Prof. Dr.K.

Stereochemistry of ketone olefination with methyl trimethylsilylacetate

High (Z)-stereoselectivity of olefination of methyl α-phenylthioalkyl and methyl α-phenylthioalkenyl ketones with methyl trimethylsilylacetate decreases in the case of ketones containing a higher alkyl-substituent in place of the methyl group.

[Hg3]4+ Cation in Inorganic Crystal Structures

The crystal-chemical structure of the minerals and inorganic compounds kuznetsovite [Hg₃](AsO₄)Cl and terlinguaite [Hg₃][HgO₂]Cl₂, as well as [Hg₃]₃(AsO₄)₄ and [Hg₃]₂[HgO₂](PO₂ and their analogs, is considered from the viewpoint of the packing of large supramolecular atomic groups. The cationic layer of polyhedra around the large [Hg₃]⁴⁺ cations, alternating with the anionic layer of [HgO₂]^2-, (AsO₄)^3-, (PO₄)^3-, Cl^-, plays the major role in structure formation. Segregation of mercury cations of different valences possibly reflects the solid-state transformations occurring in nature and accompanied by mercury liberation.     

火焰原子吸收光谱法研究五种螯合剂对染镉小鼠睾丸中镉钙铁锌浓度的影响

采用火焰原子吸收光谱法分别对染镉小鼠和N-对羟甲苯甲基-D-葡糖二硫代氨基甲酸钠(HBGD)、N-苯甲基-D-葡糖二硫代氨基甲酸钠(BGD)、二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸钠(DDTC)、二巯基丙醇(BAL)、乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)等五种螯合剂治疗组小鼠睾丸中镉、钙、铁、锌等金属浓度进行了测定和研究.结果表明:镉染毒(Cd 2.5 mg·kg-1,腹腔注射)后,小鼠睾丸中镉、钙、铁、锌等金属浓度显著高于对照组(p＜0.05),染镉30 min后用各螯合剂治疗(0.400 mmol·kg-1,腹腔注射),24 h后除EDTA外,其余螯合剂能明显降低睾丸中镉的浓度并抑制钙、铁、锌浓度的增加(p＜0.05);染镉24 h后注射各螯合剂,治疗24 h后,HBGD、BGD和DDTC显著降低了小鼠睾丸中各金属浓度(p＜0.05);提示HBGD和BGD有望成为染镉中毒的理想解毒剂.     

Based on MFe2O4 (M=Co,Cu, and Ni): Magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts in synthesis of heterocyclic structural scaffolds

Abstract

Catalysis research under magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts is a well-known topic in organic synthesis. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance in the area of utility of ferrite nanoparticles based on their ability to recovery and reusability. In this review, the focus is on the fabrication, characterization and of application the MFe₂O₄ (M=Co, Cu, and Ni) nanocatalysts in synthesis of heterocyclic structural scaffolds.

Electron-transfer in molecular functional materials

We discuss electron-transfer processes that govern the physics of several materials or systems of interest for advanced applications. The discussion touches upon several topics, ranging from solvatochromism to solvent-induced symmetry breaking, from excitonic to cooperative effects in molecular crystals, from phase transitions to vibrational contributions to the dielectric constant in organic materials, from spectroscopy to molecular transport. In all these diverse systems electron transfer (ET) plays a major role and is discussed with reference to simple models for delocalized charges.     

Synthesis of alkyl-substituted phosphorus phthalocyanines and triazatetrabenzocorroles

New alkyl-substituted phosphorus phthalocyanines and triazatetrabenzocorroles were synthesized. The structures of these complexes were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Conformational analysis of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4,-tetrahydropyridine and its alkyl- and phenyl-substituted derivatives

The molecular geometries and inversion barriers of the rings in 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine and its alkyl-substituted (Me, Et, Prⁱ, or Bu^t) and phenyl-substituted derivatives were calculated by the molecular mechanics method. The introduction of substituents has no substantial effect on the equilibrium conformation of the heterocycle (a distorted sofa). For 4-alkyl- and 3-alkyl-substituted derivatives (except for 4-Me and 4-Et derivatives), an axial orientation of the alkyl group is more favorable. The phenyl substituents have equatorial and axial orientations at postions 4 and 3, respectively. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polyfluorinated hydrazones in organic syntheses

The reaction of poly- and perfluoroaldehyde hydrazones with hydrazine hydrate was studied. A new preparative method for obtaining the hitherto inaccessibleN,N-unsubstituted bis-hydrazones of polyfluorinated -oxoaldehydes was developed based on this reaction.For Part 2, seeIzv. Akad.
