Organodimagnesium derivatives of thiophene. 3. Synthesis of an organodimagnesium derivative of hexabromo-2,2′-dithienyl and its reaction with oxalic acid esters

It was established that the reaction of hexabromo-2,2-dithienyl with magnesium in the presence of ethyl bromide gives an organodimagnesium derivative, which reacts with oxalic acid esters to give 3,3,4,4-tetrabromo-5,5-dithienyl-diglyoxalic acid esters. Reduction of the latter with ethylmagnesium bromide leads to 3,3,4,4-tetrabromo-5,5-dithienyl-2,2-diglycolic acid esters.See [1] for Communication 2.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 468–470, April, 1981.

Synthesis of 2-O-ethyl analogues of 3′-azido- and 3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and evaluation of their biological activity against HIV

Summary 2-O-Ethyluracil and 2-O-ethylthymine were silylated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and condensed in the presence ofTMS triflate with 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, and 2,3-dideoxy-3-phthalimido--D-erythro-pentofuranose derivatives to give the corresponding 2-O-ethyl nucleosides. Deprotection with saturated methanolic ammonia afforded the 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-O-ethyluridines, whereas 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine was obtained by deprotection with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran. 3-Amino-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine could be obtained only by treatment of the corresponding 3-azido nucleoside with triphenylphosphine in pyridine. 3-Deoxy-2-O-ethyl-3-fluorothymidine (6b) showed moderate activity against HIV-1.

Entfernung der Schutzgruppe mit gesättigter methanolischer Ammoniaklösung lieferte 2,3-Dideoxy-3-fluor-2-O-ethyluridin; 3-Azido-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyl-uridin wurde durch Entschützung mit Tetrabutylammoniumfluorid in Tetrahydrofuran erhalten. 3-Amino-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyl-uridin konnte nur durch Behandeln des entsprechenden 3-Azido-Nucleosids mit Triphenylphosphin in Pyridin hergestellt werden. 3-Deoxy-2-O-ethyl-3-fluor-thymidin (6b) zeigt geringe Aktivität gegenüber HIV-1.

     

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Investigations in the field of oxygen-containing heterocycles

In the presence of stannic chloride, 2,3-dichlorotetrahydrofuran adds to isoprene with the formation of 3-chloro-2-(4-chloro-2-methylbut-2-enyl)tetrahydrofuran and to piperylene and bivinyl with the formation, predominantly, of 3-chloro-2-(4-chloropent-2-enyl)- and 3-chloro-2-(4-chlorobut-2-enyl)tetrahydrofuran, respectively, with their allyl isomers. The amount of the latter was estimated from the NMR spectra at 20–30%.For part VII, see [1].

1,2-Dimethylimidazobenzo-1′, 2′, 3′-thiadiazoles and derived cyanine dyes

New tricylic heterocyclic systems and their methyl derivatives are synthesized. They are 2-methylimidazo[5, 4-e]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole, 2-methylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2', 3-thiadiazole, 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole, and 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole. Quaternary salts of the 1, 2-dimethyl derivatives are used to prepare symmetrical and unsymmetrical trimethinecyanines and dimethinemerocyanines containing rhodanine groups. The absorption maxima of the dyes are displaced towards the long wavelength region compared with imidacarbocyanines. It is shown that when 1, 2-dimetnyl-5-aminobenzoimidazole is thiocyanated, the thiocyano group enters the benzoimidazole ring at position 4, and that 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-e] benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole is less basic than its isomer 1, 2-dimethylimidazo[5, 4-g]benzo-1, 2, 3-thiadiazole.

The reactions of 4-bromo-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)but-1-en-3-one and its 2-methyl and 2-chloro derivatives with thiourea and its N-allyl and N-phenyl derivatives have yielded 2-amino-4-[-5-nitro-2-furyl)-vinyl]thiazole and its - and N-substituted derivatives. 2-Amino-4-[-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole and its -methyl derivative have also been prepared by the direct reaction of the corresponding , -unsaturated ketones with bromine and an excess of thiourea in chloroform, as was shown by a comparison of UV spectra. A series of N-acyl derivatives of the aminothiazoles has been obtained. UV and IR spectra are given.     

Unusual synthesis,structure, and thermochromic properties of novel sterically hindered cyclohexadienes

Oxidation of 4-[-morpholino--(2-hydroxyphenyl)]methyl-2,6-di-(tert-butyl)-phenol (I) follows an unusual course, with formal loss of the benzyl carbon atom, to give 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexa-2,5-dienone (II), which is thermochromic in solution. This property is due to the dissociation of (II) into morpholine and 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-2,4-diphenoxyquinone. The structure of (II) was established directly by x-ray diffraction, which enabled its conformational features to be related to its thermochromic properties. An x-ray examination of 3,3,5,5-tetra(tertbutyl)-2,4-diphenoquinone (X), together with the direct synthesis of the thermochromic analog of (II) (2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-[2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)phenyl]cyclohexa-2,5-dienone) (XI) from (X) and morpholine, confirmed the proposed mechanism of thermochromic dissociation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1121–1129, May, 1991.The authors thank V.

Reaction of dibepin with amino acids on chromatographic paper

A method was developed for the development of amino acids and some of their derivatives on Chromatographic paper by means of dibepin-8-[2,3(CO),6,5(CO)-dibenzoylene-4-pyridyl]-l-naphthoyl chloride.

Synthesis of N-(indol-3-yl)-N′,N′-dialkylamidines by the vilsmeier reaction with 3-aminoindoles

3-Aminoindoles substituted at C-2 and C-5 of the indole ring are converted by the action of Vilsmeier complexes into N-(indol-3-yl)-N,N-dialkylamidines. When C-2 is unsubstituted, the formylation proceeds but not the acetylation of this position. N-(Indol-3-yl)-N,N-dimethylacetamidine reacts with the complex obtained from DMF and POCl₃ to give 2-dimethylamino-3-formyl--carboline. The optimal conditions were found for the conversion of amidines to amides.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 76–81, January, 1985.

Synthetic studies in the field of the curare alkaloids

By oxidation and the identification of the oxidation products, it has been shown that the -[4-(2-alkoxy-5-alkoxycarbonylmethylphenoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl] ethylamides of 4-benzyloxyphenylacetic acid obtained previously and differing in their physicochemical properties are based on the same skeleton and differ only in their spatial configuration, since on Bischler-Napieralski cyclization they give isomeric dihydroisoquinoline compounds. The structure of the latter was established by oxidation to the isomeric acids 2,2-dimethoxy-3,4,5-tricarboxy(diphenyl ether) and 2,2-dimethoxy-4,5,5-tricarboxy-(diphenyl ether); the latter is identical with the compound obtained by the degradation of the methyl ester of natural tubocurarine. 1-(4Benzyloxybenzyl)-6-methoxy-7-(2-methoxy-5-methoxycarbonyl methylphenoxy)-N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and a compound isomeric with it have also been synthesized, and the former has been shown to be identical with a substance obtained by independent synthesis from the 4-benzyl ether of N-methylcoclaurine. During the synthesis of the latter it was shown that cyclization takes place unambiguously without the formation of isomeric compounds.For part XIII, see [2].
