Simple and efficient cleavage reaction of the boc group in heterocyclic compounds

Dedicated to the memory of Pr. Ladjama Daif A series of chiral cyclosulfamides have been synthesized by alkaline cyclisation starting from N‐benzoylamino acids (Ala, Val, Leu, Phe) derivatives and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. A simplified and regioselective deprotection of the cyclic compounds (cyclosulfamides) containing the tert‐butyloxycarbonyl group (Boc) has been achieved in good yield by fusion under reduced pressure.     

A discontinuous Galerkin method/HLLC solver for the Euler equations

This paper proposes a fully three‐dimensional non‐linear Euler methodology for solving aerodynamic and acoustic problems in the presence of strong shocks and rarefactions. It uses a discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) within the element, and a Riemann solver (HLLC) at the boundaries to propagate rarefactions while preserving the entropy condition and capturing shocks with no spurious oscillations. This approach is thought to marry the best aspects of finite element and finite volume methods, achieving conservation while not requiring the solution of a large matrix. Examples in which shock and rarefaction waves are well captured are presented and the propagation of acoustic pulses is well demonstrated. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Etude de phosphates condenses diagramme d’equilibre du systeme AgPO3−Pr(PO3)3 Données sur AgPr(PO3)4

The AgPO₃?Pr(PO₃)₃ system has been studied for the first time by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The system shows one compound AgPr(PO₃)₄ which melts in a peritectic decomposition at 1069 K. An eutectic appears at 761 K. AgPr(PO₃)₄ belongs to the monoclinic system with space group P2_t/c,Z=4. The parameters of the unit cell are:a=12.000(9),b=13.177(4),c=7.046(5) Å and β=123^o,81(6),Z=4. Its IR absorption spectrum is typical of chain phosphates.     

Experimental Determination of the Isotherm at 15°C of the System Mg2+/Cl?, SO42–H2O

 The diagram of the ternary system Mg²⁺/Cl⁻, SO₄ ²⁻–H₂O was established at 15°C by means of analytical and conductimetric measurements. Three compounds were found in this diagram, which are MgSO₄·6H₂O, MgSO₄·7H₂O, and MgCl₂·6H₂O. The solubility field of MgSO₄·7H₂O is important whereas those of MgSO₄·6H₂O and MgCl₂·6H₂O are small. The compositions (mass-%) of the two invariant points determined by the two methods are: MgSO₄:MgCl₂=2.73:33.80 and MgSO₄: MgCl₂=3.38:28.91. Both the measured and the calculated isotherm at 15°C have been used for modelling of the diagram Mg²⁺/Cl⁻, SO₄ ²⁻–H₂O between 0 and 35°C. The polythermal invariant point was approximately located between 15 and 10°C.     

Validated HPLC method for simultaneous quantification of mutant IDH1/2 inhibitors (enasidenib,ivosidenib and vorasidenib) in mouse plasma: Application to a pharmacokinetic study

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) inhibitors comprise a novel class of anticancer drugs, which are approved to treat acute myeloid leukemia patients having mutations on IDH1/2. We report the development and validation of a high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous quantitation of IDH inhibitors, namely enasidenib (EDB), ivosidenib (IDB) and vorasidenib (VDB), in mouse plasma as per the US Food and Drug Administration regulatory guidelines. The method involves extraction of EDB, IDB and VDB along with internal standard (IS; phenacetin) from mouse plasma (100 μl) using a simple protein precipitation process. The chromatographic analysis was performed on an HPLC system using a gradient mobile phase (comprising 10 mm ammonium acetate and acetonitrile in a flow‐gradient) and an X‐Terra Phenyl column. The UV detection wave length was set at λ_max 265 nm. EDB, IDB, VDB and the IS eluted at 7.36, 8.60, 9.50 and 5.12 min, respectively, with a total run time of 10 min. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 0.20–12.5 μg/ml for EDB and 0.50–12.5 μg/ml for IDB and VDB (r² = ≥0.998 for all of the analytes). Validation results met the acceptance criteria. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in mice.     

Efficient Method for The Synthesis of α-Amidophosphonates via the Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction

Abstract

A new series of modified α-amidophosphonates (or β-ketophosphonate) was synthesized by an efficient method, starting from aminoesters and chloroacetyl chloride. We have established that chloroacetyl chloride is a suitable reagent allowing the introduction a halogen moiety for the Arbuzov reaction. The α-amidophosphonates were prepared in two steps (acetylation, phosphorylation).

Synthesis and Biological Activity of New Chiral N‐Acylsulfonamide Bis‐oxazolidin‐2‐ones

A new series of chiral 5‐substituted bis‐oxazolidinones containing an acylsulfonamide moiety has been synthesized starting from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, (l )‐ethyl lactate, and oxazolidin‐2‐ones. All the reactions were conducted at ambient temperature, and the N‐acylsulfonamide bis‐oxazolidin‐2‐ones were obtained with high yields within 2 h. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro against the virulent strain RH of Toxoplasma gondii and the human lymphocytes, and showed promising results.     

A Very Short and Efficient Total Synthesis of Otanthus Maritima Amide.

A new total synthesis of Otanthus Maritima amide 1 was achieved from 6-trimetylsily N-tert-butyl sorbaldimine 6 in 76% global yield. The natural product 1 was obtained in three steps by condensation of 6 on thiophenal in the presence of catalytic amount of CsF (10%) in DMSO followed by oxidation and amidification of the corresponding intermediate.
