In addition, intramolecular cyclization of 6d with Ac?O afford the corresponding 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl acetamide derivative 16. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR/13C-NMR and mass spectral studies.

Simple and efficient preparation of [10,20-13C2]- and [10-CH3,13-13C2]-10-methylretinal: introduction of substituents at the 2-position of 2,3-unsaturated nitriles

In this paper, we present the synthesis of [10,20-13C2]-10-methylretinal and [10-CH3,13-13C2]-10-methylretinal, two doubly 13C-labeled chemically modified retinals that have been recently used to study the structural and functional details behind the photocascade of bovine rhodopsin (Verdegem et al. Biochemistry 1999, 38, 11316; de Lange et al. Biochemistry 1998, 37, 1411). To obtain both doubly 13C-labeled compounds, we developed a novel synthetic method to directly and regiospecifically introduce a methyl substituent on the 2-position of 3-methyl-5-(2',6',6'-trimethyl-1'-cyclohexen-1'-yl)-2,4-pentadienenitrile. Encouraged by these results, we investigated the scope of this novel reaction by developing a general method for the introduction of a variety of substituents to the 2-position of 3-methyl-2,3-unsaturated nitriles, paving the way for simple and efficient synthesis of a wide variety of 10-, 14-, and 10,14-substituted chemically modified retinals, and other biologically important compounds.

Synthesis, structure and properties of N-acetylated derivatives of methyl 5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylate

Methyl 5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylate hydrochloride (1). and free ester (2). were obtained and 2 was reacted with Ac(2)O to give the acetylated products 3-6. Compounds 1-6 were studied using HPLC, GC-MS, FTIR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, including the cross-polarisation magic angle spinning (CPMAS) technique. The results of the acetylation of 2 were compared to those of the acetylation of 5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole, and for 2 a significant decrease in the susceptibility to acetylation was found. The reaction of 2 with Ac(2)O at 20 degrees C, regardless of the amount and the concentration of the latter, including neat Ac(2)O, proceeds fully regioselectively and leads to one product: methyl 1-acetyl-5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylate (3). In sharp contrast to 5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole, neither an additional monoacetylated isomer, whether annular or exocyclic, nor any diacetylated derivative could be detected. The diacetylation of 2 requires the process to be carried out in neat boiling Ac(2)O and, as in the case of 5-amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazole, gives two diacetylated isomers. These are methyl 1-acetyl-3-(acetylamino)-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-5-carboxylate (4) and 1-acetyl-5-(acetylamino)-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylate (5). Hypothetical pathways of their formation have been suggested. A mixture of 4 and 5 upon hydrolysis of the ring acetyl group gives the monoacetylated derivative methyl 5-(acetylamino)-1H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-carboxylate (6). The spectroscopic, structural and conformational characteristics of compounds 1-6 have been given and methods for their preparation have been provided.
