Efficient methods for the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones from 4-amino-5-acetylpyrimidines

New methods for annelation of a pyridine ring to a pyrimidine ring were suggested. Substituted 8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones (8a-f) were synthesized by the interaction of 2,6-disubstituted 4-amino-5-acetylpyrimidines (1–4) with formamide or acetamide acetals followed by cyclization under the action of sodium methoxide in methanol. 2,4-Disubstituted 7-phenyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones (11a-c) were prepared by the reaction of 2,6-disubstituted 5-acetyl-4-benzoylaminopyrimidines (10a-c) with MeONa in boiling BuOH.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Two furan‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acid solvates crystallized from dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide

Furan‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been ranked among the top 12 bio‐based building‐block chemicals by the Department of Energy in the US. The molecule was first synthesized in 1876, but large‐scale production has only become possible since the development of modern bio‐ and chemical catalysis techniques. The structures of two FDCA solvates, namely, FDCA dimethylformamide (DMF) disolvate, C₆H₄O₅·2C₃H₇NO, (I), and FDCA dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) monosolvate, C₆H₄O₅·C₂H₆OS, (II), are reported. Solvate (I) crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group and solvate (II) crystallizes in the monoclinic P space group. In (I), hydrogen bonds form between the carbonyl O atom in DMF and a hydroxy H atom in FDCA. Whilst in (II), the O atom in one DMSO molecule hydrogen bonds with hydroxy H atoms in two FDCA molecules. Combined with intermolecular S…O interactions, FDCA molecules form a two‐dimensional network coordinated by DMSO.     

Dinuclear copper(II) perchlorate complexes with 6-(benzylamino)purine derivatives: Synthesis,X-ray structure,magnetism and antiradical activity

The reactions of Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O with 6-(benzylamino)purine derivatives in a stoichiometric 1:2 metal-to-ligand ratio led to the formation of penta-coordinated dinuclear complexes of the formula [Cu₂(μ-L^1–8)₄(ClO₄)₂](ClO₄)₂·nsolv, where L¹ = 6-(2-fluorobenzylamino)purine (complex 1), L² = 6-(3-fluorobenzylamino)purine (2), L³ = 6-(4-fluorobenzylamino)purine (3), L⁴ = 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purine (4), L⁵ = 6-(3-chlorobenzylamino)purine (5), L⁶ = 6-(4-chlorobenzylamino)purine (6), L⁷ = 6-(3-methoxybenzylamino)purine (7) and L⁸ = 6-(4-methoxybenzylamino)purine (8); n = 0–4 and solv = H₂O, EtOH or MeOH. All the complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV–Vis and EPR spectroscopy, and by magnetic and conductivity measurements. Variable temperature (80–300 K) magnetic susceptibility data of 1–8 showed the presence of a strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between two Cu(II) (S = 1/2) atoms with J ranging from −150.0(1) to −160.3(2) cm⁻¹. The compound 6·4EtOH·H₂O was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The Cu?Cu separation has been found to be 2.9092(8) Å. The antiradical activity of the prepared compounds was tested by in vitro SOD-mimic assay with IC₅₀ in the range 8.67–41.45 μM. The results of an in vivo antidiabetic activity assay were inconclusive and the glycaemia in pre-treated animals did not differ significantly from the positive control.     

Change of water structure by solvents and polymers

Viscosity measurements have been made of water-solvent and water-polymer solutions in a temperature range of 20–60 centigrades. A medium structure temperatureT ₀ was calculated from the Vogel-equation. Water has a structure temperature of 140–150 K, its decrease indicates structure breakage, an increase structure promotion. Pyridine, dioxane, dimethylformamide and urea are structure breakers. This is explained by a shift of the equilibrium — bonded water molecules — nonbonded — to the right. Acetone shows hydrophobic bonding in the same concentration range of 0–10 mole % as the normal alcohols. They are quasifree liquids-structure temperature zero-in the pure state. This is explained by hydrogen bridged dimer formation with the exception of tert-butanol. Its 3 methylgroups sterically prevent dimer formation and cause structuring. Adding urea to methanol-water solutions breaks water structure according to urea concentration but extends the hydrophobic bonding maximum over the whole diagram. Glucose-water solutions have a minimum in the structure temperature diagram. Its left side indicates waterstructure breakage, its right side formation of a new structure forced upon water by the sugar. The equilibrium can be formulated: Waterlike bonded-nonbonded-hetero (solvent)-like bonded, Ribose also shows this minimum but after a short range of heterobondedness the structure is completely broken to nonbondedness.The polymers dextrane and polyvinylpyrrolidone are strong waterstructure breakers. Dextrane much stronger than PVP, it breaks to nonbondedness while PVP maintains a certain structuring, perhaps indicating heterobonding at higher concentrations. Polyacrylamide is a strong structurebreaker. It resembles urea in this sense. Perhaps the solvationwater structure of the NH₂ groups is very different from pure waterstructure. Polyacrylicacid breaks waterstructure completely, if sodiumchloride is added waterstructure is rebuilt again. The only waterstructure promoting polymer is natural gelatine. Perhaps this structure is different from pure water or the watermolecule equilibrium is shifted towards bondedness. The structure temperatures of pure polyethyleneglycoles show a minimum with increasing molecular weight. The high structure temperature of the small chains is explained by long chain assoziates formation through hydrogen bridging. This liquid of long assoziate chains is structured and has a high structure temperature. With increasing molecular weight ringformation instead of linear assoziation becomes possible. These neutral rings form a free liquid. Long chains again have a linear structure and the structure temperature increases at higher molecular weights. Existence of linear chain assoziation of low molecular PEGs is proved with their breakage by adding the chain terminating methanol.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. F. H. Müller.Herrn Chemotechniker D.

Production of monoclonal antibodies against hop-derived (Humulus lupulus L.) prenylflavonoids and the development of immunoassays

Monoclonal antibodies against the hop-derived prenylated chalcone xanthohumol (X) and the prenylated flavonoids isoxanthohumol (IX) and 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) were developed. Carboxylic acid haptens of X, IX and 8-PN were synthesized by linking a spacer to their C4′-OH group followed by subsequent coupling to bovine serum albumin (BSA) to form conjugates that were employed as immunogens in BALB/c mice to raise antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies that were secreted from the established hybridoma cell lines proved, in cross-reactivity studies, to possess highly specific binding capacities in an optimized competitive indirect ELISA. The immunoassays make use of immunogen-coated microtiterplates and a peroxidase-labeled anti-mouse IgG₁ secondary antibody with ABTS as a chromogenic substrate. For X the IC₅₀ value derived from the standard curve was 62.91 ng mL⁻¹, and for both IX and 8-PN 37.15 ng mL⁻¹. The assay was validated for the quantitative analysis of X, IX and 8-PN in urine and serum. A simple sample pretreatment procedure using a diethyl ether extraction was optimized and the recoveries and matrix effects were assessed. The validity of the established assay was tested and mean inter- and intra-assay variations in urine were 2.32% and 1.91%, respectively for X, 6.24% and 2.39%, respectively for IX and 7.18% and 0.74%, respectively for 8-PN. In serum, the mean inter- and intra-assay variations were 8.90% and 1.37%, respectively for X, 6.13% and 1.57%, respectively for IX and 6.13% and 2.43%, respectively for 8-PN. Furthermore, the method demonstrated excellent accuracy and significant correlation with measurements by an established and validated HPLC-MS method.     

Infrared spectral studies of ion association in nonaqueous solutions of cyanide salts with consequences for their nucleophilic reactivity

An infrared spectrometric study of alkali metal and tetraphenylarsonium cyanide (As ⁴ CN) solutions in DMSO or DMF shows that even for concentrations of 0.1M a large proportion of the ions are associated. The order of basicity established through methanol (OH) frequency shifts is CN^–>Cl^–>Br^–. Addition of common ions or cyclic polyether to these solutions, as well as correlations between the (CN^–) frequencies and those of the (CN) bands of CH₃CN bonded to the same cations, suggests assignments of the observed bands to solvated contact ion pairs M⁺ CN^–, triple ions M⁺ CN^– M⁺, and aggregates (M⁺ CN) _n ^– . The nucleophilic reactivity of these salts is related to the structure of these solutions.This article is taken in part from the thesis of A. Loupy, University Paris-Sud Orsay, April 9, 1975, CNRS thesis order No. AO 10102.

The enthalpies of formation and evolved gas detection

The standard molar enthalpies of formation of H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀·6H₂O (I), H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀·6DMF·H₂O (II), H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀·8DMSO·H₂O (III) have been determined. Thermodynamic cycles were designed, and the heat of reactions in the thermodynamic cycles were measured calorimetrically. The infrared spectra were compared with those of the heteropoly anion α-H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀ [1] and of the ligands DMF and DMSO. The evolved gas from the adducts was monitored by a quadrupole mass spectrometer at a heating rate of 16 deg·min^?1.     

Volumetric Properties of N, N-Dimethylformamide with 1,2-Alkanediols at 20°C

Dilatometric measurements of excess molar volumes and excess partial molar volumes have been made for binary mixtures of N, N-dimethylformamide with 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2- pentanediol, and 1,2-hexanediol at 20°C over the entire composition range. The results are explained in terms of dissociation of the self-associated 1,2-alkanediol molecules and the formation of aggregates between unlike molecules through C = O ... 3H-O hydrogen bonding. Further, the effects of difference in chain lengths and steric factors on molecular interactions are also examined. From the experimental results, excess molar volumes were calculated and correlated by a Redlich–Kister type function in terms of mole fractions.
