Chemistry of 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles. 8. Synthesis and properties of 1-methyl-2-(5′-methyl-2′-selenienyl)benzimidazole

1-Methyl-2-(5-methyl-2-selenienyl)benzimidazole was synthesized and subjected to electrophilic-substitution reactions: nitration, bromination, sulfonation, chloromethylation, formylation, and acylation. The substituent usually enters the 4 position of the selenophene ring, but nitration with acetyl nitrate leads to a mixture of 5-nitro and 4-nitro derivatives. Oxidation of 2-selenienylbenzimidazole with potassium permanganate leads to the 5-carboxy derivative, while oxidation with selenium dioxide leads to the 5-hydroxymethyl and 5-formyl derivatives.See [1] for Communication 7.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1636–1639, December, 1987.

1,4-bis(4′-hydroxy-1′,2′,5′-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,3-butadiyne and its derivatives

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.     

Carbolines

4-Substituted 3, 4-dihydro--carbolines (X–XVI) were obtained by the Beckman rearrangement of oximes of -(indolyl-3)ketones (I–IV, IX) under the action of phosphorus pentachloride in nitrobenzene. 3, 4-Dihydro--carbolines were converted into -carbolines (XV–XVII) on heating with Brown's palladium catalyst in ethylene glycol. Oximes containing the aryl group react on treatment with p-toluene sulfochloride in pyridine with the formation of the arilides of -(indolyl-3)propionic acids.For preliminary report, see [18].     

The dimer of trifluoromethylthiirene

Conclusion The action of the hexaethyltriamide of phosphorous acid on disulfides containing an ,-dichloro-,,-trifluoroisopropyl group gives the dimer of trifluoromethylthiirene, namely, 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)p-dithiine. Oxidation of this dimer by the action of sulfuric acid gives a stable radical-cation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1160–1162, May, 1987.     

Transformed steroids. 160. Reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β, 21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate and carbethoxyhydrazine

Conclusion The reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate in the presence of carbethoxyhydrazine proceeds by two competing paths: cisopening of the oxide ring by a -SCN ion at the C¹⁷ atom, and substitution of one of the methoxyl groups by -NCS ion. As a result 2,20-dicarbethoxyhydrazones of pregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one-[17,16-d]-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one and 20-methoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3-ol-[20,21-d]-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione are formed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 911–914, April, 1987.

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.
