Convenient synthesis of 5′-methyl-2′-desoxyuridines

A convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of 5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines. Chlorination of 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyluridines with a mixture of Ph₃P and CCl₄ in DMF affords the 2-desoxy-2-chloro-derivatives, which are then reduced with tributyltin hydride. The crystalline 5-O-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-desoxyuridines were obtained in overall yields of 40–60%. In a similar way, 5-O-benzoyluridine has given 5-O-benzoyl-2-desoxyuridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–248, February, 1989.     

Investigation of furan compounds XXX. Intramolecular alkoxylation of furfuryl-substituted mono- and bicyclic alcohols

On electrolysis mono- and bicyclic furfuryl-substituted alcohols undergo intramolecular alkoxylation, giving polycyclic spirans. Spiro[perhydrobenzofuran-2, 2-(5-methoxy, 5H)furan] and spiro[4H, 5H, 6H, 11H-naphtho-(,)-furan-2(3H)] [2-(5-methoxy, 5H)furan], hitherto not described, are prepared in this way. On catalytic hydrogenation they give the previously unknown spiro[perhydrobenzofuran-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran] and spiro[4H, 5H, 6H, 11H-naphtho-(,)-furan-2(3H)][2-tetrahydrofuran].For Part XXIX see [1].     

Study of furan compounds

Research on synthesis of polycyclic spirans of the 1, 6-dioxaspiro-[4, 4]nonane group is continued. Electrolysis of methanol solutions of 2-furylcyclopentanol, 2-(5-methyl-furfuryl)cyclopentanol, and 2-furfuryl-1-indanol, gives, by intramolecular alkoxylation, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5dihydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, hitherto undescribed in the literature. Depending on the conditions, catalytic hydrogenation of these gives: spiro{perhydiocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{2, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}.For Part XXXI see [1].

Summary 4-(1H-1,2,4-Triazolyl-3-azo)-2-methylresorcinol reacts with vanadium(V) at pH 8.10 (Tris-HClO₄ buffer solution) to produce a pink-violet 11 complex ( _max=525 nm,=2.55×10⁴l·mol^–1· cm^–1) in a 50% (v/v) methanol-water medium, which allows the spectrophotometric determination of 0.1 to 1.51 ppm of vanadium. The method has been applied for the determination of the vanadium content in low alloy steels.

Investigations in the field of the chemistry of 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles. 6. Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-(2′-selenienyl)benzimidazole

2-(2-Selenienyl)benzimidazole has been synthesized by a Weidenhagen reaction and converted into the N-methylated derivative. Electrophilic-substitution reactions (nitration, sulfonation, bromination, chloromethylation, and acylation) in the selenophene ring have been studied. It has been shown that the substituent enters the position of the selenophene ring in most cases. The bromination of 1-methyl-2-(2-selenienyl)benzimidazole in acetic acid produces the 3,5-dibromo derivative, whereas 1-methyl-5(or 6)-bromo-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-selenienyl)benzimidazole is obtained in polyphosphoric acid.For Report 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1531–1534, November, 1983.

Summary Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halide complexes of the ligands 2-(2-methyl-8-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo), 2-(2-methyl8quinolyl)benzimidazole (mqbi) and 2-(4-methyl-8-quinolyl)benzimidazole (mqbi) were synthesized and characterized by analytical, thermogravimetric, conductivity and magnetic data, and i.r. and electronic spectra.The ligands are bidentate N-donors yielding complexes where the coordination geometry depends on the metal ion and steric hindrance. All the cobalt complexes have formula [CoL₂X₂] and distorted tetrahedral geometry. Different types of nickel compounds were obtained: i) complexes of formula NiLX₂ · n H₂O (or EtOH) (L = mqbo or mqbi; n=0–1.5) which arepseudo-tetrahedral or five-coordinate and ii) complexes NiL₂X₂ · n H₂O (L = mqbi, n=3 or 4) where the metal is bound to four nitrogen atoms and the overall coordination geometry is tetragonal. The structural changes occurring after removal of water or alcohol from the complexes are also reported.

Reactions of the 2,2′,6,6′-tetra-tert-butyl-4,4′-bispyrylium cation with bases

From 2,2,6,6-tetra-tert-buty1-4,4-bispyrylium perchlorate by the action of aqueous solutions of sodium acetate or caustic soda we have obtained a spiran containing pyran and dihydrofuran rings the structure of which has been established by the x-ray structural method.

Optisch aktive,aromatische Spirane, 11. Mitt.: Synthese optisch aktiver mono- bis heptasubstituierter 5-Methyl- und 5-Ethyl-2,2′-spirobiindane und analoger Naphthalinderivate bekannter Chiralität und enantiomerer Reinheit

Starting from optically active 5,5-dimethyl, diethyl, and 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,2-spirobiindane as well as from 5-ethyl-spirobiindane-5-carboxylic ester of known enantiomeric purity and configuration 75 mono to polysubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes have been prepared. Amongst these are several compounds with rings anellated in the 6,7 (and 6, 7) positions, especially a spirohydrocarbon4 x with orthogonal naphthalene units the circular dichroism of which is reported and discussed.Several mono and disubstituted 5-methyl and ethylindanes (1,2) have been prepared as models for synthetic transformations in the spirobiindane series.From the molar rotations of symmetrically diacylated 5,5-dimethyl and diethyl spirobiindanes (4a, 7b, 7c) empirical ligand parameters for acetyl and methoxycarbonyl were determined which gave much better results in the calculation of the rotations of appropriate spirobiindanes (with the shortened polynomal Ansatz) than the -values deduced previously from 5,5-disubstituted spirobiindanes. The significance of these results is briefly discussed.
