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].

Diindolyls

3,5-and 5,5-Diindolyls were obtained from ethyl pyruvate 4-(2-carbethoxy-3-indolyl) phenylhydrazone and ethyl pyruvate 4,4-biphenylyldihydrazone by Fischer cyclization and subsequent saponification and decarboxylation. The formation of 5-phenyl-2-carbethoxyindole, from which 5-phenylindole was obtained, was observed in the indolization of ethyl pyruvate 4,4-biphenylyldihydrazone.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 217–224, February, 1978.     

Preparation of 8-(5-oxoindeno [3,2-b]-4-pyridyl)-1-naphthoic acids

The condensation of 1-(1,3-indanedion-2-ylidene)-2-acenaphthenone with imines of -dicarbonyl compounds gave 2,5-dioxospiro 1,4,acenaphthene-1,4-dihydroindeno-[3,2-b]pyridines. Oxidation of the pyridines with air oxygen at room temperature without catalysts brings about cleavage of the C-C bond to give 8-(5-oxoindeno[3,2-b]-4-pyridyl)-1-naphthoic acids.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 210–212, February, 1972.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

     

Synthetic studies in the field of chlorobium chlorophyll

By the condensation of -halogenomethyl derivatives of pyrroles with -unsubstituted pyrroles the synthesis of the following unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes has been effected: 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIa), 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-diniethyl-3-n-propyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane(IIIb), 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIc), and 3-bromo-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIId). Hydrogenation of the unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes IIIa, b, c, and d has given the corresponding monocarboxylic acids IVa, b, c, and d.

Synthesis of cyanamides containing the phenothiazine fragment and their reactions with dialkyldithiophosphoric acids

Reaction of phenothiazine with dialkoxyphosphoryl or chlorosulfenyl isocyanide dichlorides has given 10-cyanophenothiazine, which adds dialkyldithiophosphoric acids at the CN bond. The addition products rearrange to 10-[N-(dialkoxythiophosphoryl) thiocarbamoyl]phenothiazines, which are prone to decompose to dialkoxythiophosphoryl isothiocyanates and phenothiazine, or on treatment with alkyl halides in the presence of base afford stable S-alkyl-N- dialkoxythiophosphoryl (l0-phenothiazinyl)isothioformamides. The reaction between 10-cyanophenothiazine and an excess of dithiophosphoric acids also affords 10-thiocarbamoylphenothiazine and tetraalkyl trithiopyrophosphates. An x-ray diffraction examination of the molecular structure of S-methyl-N-diisopropoxythiophosphoryl-(10-phenothiazinyl)isothioformamide has shown it to possess the Z-configuration. The dihedral angle formed by the benzene rings of the phenothiazine fragment is 125.7°. The products of the addition of dithiophosphoric acids to the CN bond of N,N-bis[2-(10-phenothiazinyl)-2-oxoethyl]cyanamide, obtained from 10-(chloroacety) phenothiazine and NaNHCN, also isomerize by 1,3S N migration of the thiophosphoryl group. Subsequent heterocyclization, with elimination of phenothiazine, affords 2-(dialkoxythiophosphorylimino)-3-[2-(10-phenothiazinyl)-2-oxoethyl]thiazolidin-5-ones.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 451–460, February, 1991.

1.4-Bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1.3-butadiyne has been synthesized from the individual isomers of 4-ethynyl-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol. Hydrogenation, bromination, and cleavage have given, respectively, 1,4-bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)butane, 1,4-bis(4-nydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrabromo-1, 3-butadiene, and 4-(1,3-butadiynyl)-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol.     

Vanadyl ion complexes with nucleotides

Summary Complexes of adenosine-5-triphosphate, adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, cytidine-5-monophosphate and uridine-5-monophosphate with vanadyl ion, have been studied in the solid state by i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. All complexes have normal magnetic moments, very close to the spin-only values. From the i.r. spectra it is suggested that the vanadyl ion is interacting with adenosine-5-triphosphate, through the N-1 of the purine ring, with adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, through the N-7 of the purine ring, with cytidine-5-monophosphate through the N-3 of the pyrimidine ring, and most probably through the phosphate group with uridine-5-monophosphate. The complexes of vanadyl ion with the nucleotides are probably polymeric.

On the dynamic mechanical behavior of nylon 66

Summary The dynamic mechanical properties of nylon 66 films and fibers have been examined, as a function of annealing and drawing, with a Vibron viscoelastometer. It is found that the transition is little affected by annealing treatments, but increase in orientation causes the transition to move to a higher temperature. Experiments, with X-ray diffraction of samples at elevated temperatures, lead to the conclusion that the triclinic to hexagonal phase change does not contribute significantly to the transition. Samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the drawing direction of nylon 66 film, have been used to show that the curves of dynamic tensile modulus versus temperature, for the parallel and perpendicular directions, cross in the neighborhood of the transition. This observation is discussed in relation to the suggestion that the transition is the glass transition in nylon 66.

Zusammenfassung Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von Filmen und Fasern aus Nylon 66 wurden als Funktion der Temperung und Verstreckung mit einem Virbon-Viskoelastometer untersucht. Die -Umwandlung wird wenig durch die Temperung beeinflußt, aber erhöhte Orientierung läßt siezu höheren Temperaturen verlagern. Messungen der Röntgenstreuung bei erhöhten Temperaturen führen zu dem Schluß, daß der Übergang triklin/hexagonal nicht wesentlich zu der -Umwandlung beiträgt. Proben aus verstrecktem Nylon-66-Film, parallel und senkrecht zur Streckrichtung geschnitten, zeigen, daß die Kurven des dynamischenE-Moduls gegen die Temperatur für beide Orientierungen sich in der Nachbarschaft der -Umwandlung überkreuzen. Diese Beobachtung wird hinsichtlich der Vermutung diskutiert, daß die -Umwandlung den Glasübergang in Nylon 66 darstellt.
