Convergent synthesis of 2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-mercapto nucleosides — Potential anti-HIV agents

Summary Methyl 3-benzoylthio-5-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2,3-dideoxy--D-erythro-pentofuranoside (4) and its corresponding anomer5 were synthesized in four steps from 2-deoxy-D-ribose and used as substrates for the synthesis of nucleosides by condensation with silylated thymidine and N⁶-isobutyryladenine. The nucleosides were deprotected by treatment with Bu₄NF inTHF followed by reaction with MeONa in MeOH to give 3-deoxy-3-mercaptothymidine (8), 2,3-dideoxy-3-mercaptoadenosine (15) and its corresponding anomer16. In the latter reactions it was important to use degassed solvents to minimize formation of the corresponding disulfides of purine nucleosides. Using Bu₄NF, without subsequent reaction with MeONa in the deprotection reaction, resulted in intermolecular transesterification reactions.On leave from Chemistry Department, Faculties of Science and Education, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt     

2,2′-Diphenyl-Δ3,3′-bi-3H-indole-1,1′-dioxide: Molecular interactions and crystal structure

The Dinitrone 2,2-diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indole-1,1-dioxide acts as a demethylating and dehydrogenating agent. The mechanism of interaction of the dinitrone with donors and acceptors does not involve intermediate charge-transfer complexes probably due to a self association between dinitrone molecules (as supported by X-ray determinations). The crystal structure of the dinitrone was obtained by direct methods;a=9.967 (2),b=19.817 (3),c=10.875 (2) Å, =111.2 (2)°, space group P2₁/n. The finalR andR _w were 0.089 and 0.063 for all measured reflexes.

Zusammenfassung Das Dinitron 2,2-Diphenyl-^3,3-bi-3H-indol-1,1-dioxid wirkt als Demethylierungs- und Oxydationsmittel. Die Wechselwirkung des Dinitrons mit Elektronen-Acceptoren und Elektronen-Donatoren geht wegen der Selbstassoziation zwischen den Dinitron-Molekülen ohne die dazwischenliegende Bildung eines Charge-Transfer-Komplexes vor sich; das wird auch von Röntgenstrukturuntersuchungen gestützt.

Lumineszierende Cu(I)- und Ag(I)-Cluster mit Thionoliganden

Zusammenfassung Cu(I) bildet mit zahlreichen nicht lumineszierenden Thionoliganden (N-monosubstituierten N-Sulfonylthioharnstoffen, N,N-Dialkyl-N-phenylthioharnstoffen und N,N-Dialkylmonothiocarbamaten) rot lumineszierende oktaedrische Cluster (CuL)₆. Die Lumineszenz tritt sowohl im Festzustand als auch in Lösungen auf. Abklingzeiten von 10^–5s deuten auf kurzlebige Phosphoreszenz hin. Der Einfluß verschiedener Strukturelemente auf die Lage der Emissionsmaxima wird diskutiert. Dabei bewirken Veränderungen in der Metall-Ligand-Koordination die stärkste Verschiebung der Lumineszenzbanden. Tetraedrische (CuL)₄-Cluster mit den obigen Thionoliganden zeigen keine Lumineszenz. Generelle Unterschiede in der Struktur oktaedrischer und tetraedrischer Cluster werden diskutiert.Ag(I) bildet nur mit N-Alkyl-N-sulfonylthioharnstoffen lumineszierende Cluster (AgL)₆. Die Lumineszenz ist im Gegensatz zu den Cu-Clustern auf den Festzustand beschränkt.

Luminescent Cu(I) and Ag(I) clusters with thiono ligands

Summary Octahedrical (CuL)₆ clusters with several non luminescent thiono ligands (N-monosubstituted N-sulfonylthioureas, N,N-dialkyl-N-phenylthioureas and N,N-dialkylmonothiocarbamates) show red luminescence in the solid state and in solution. The luminescence lifetimes of 10^–5s are typical of short lived phosphorescence. The emission bands are affected by structural variation of the ligand. Changes of the coordination bonds cause the strongest shifts of the luminescence maxima. Tetrahedrical (CuL)₄ clusters with the same thiono ligands are not luminescent. General structural differences between octahedral and tetrahedral clusters are discussed.(AgL)₆ clusters are only luminescent in the solid state and if the ligand is a N-monosubstituted N-sulfonylthiourea

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of 4,4′-bipyridyl metal(II) tetracyanonickelate complexes and their clathrates

The infrared spectra of M(4,4-bipyridyl)Ni(CN)₄ complexes (M=Ni or Cd) and their dioxane, benzene, toluene, aniline andN,N-dimethylaniline clathrates are reported. Additional information regarding the structure of the host lattice is obtained from the Raman spectra of the M=Cd complex. It is shown that the structure of the host lattice consists of infinite polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)₄} analogous to those of Hofmann type clathrates that have tetragonal symmetry. Bidentate 4,4-bipyridyl molecules form bridges between the metal atoms {M} in the adjacent {M-Ni(CN)₄} layers. It is found that the 4,4-bipyridyl molecules are centrosymmetric in this structure.Presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986
