Furannes et pyrroles disubstitues en 2,3. XVII. Structure des composés formés par eyanuration des halogénométhyl-2 méthoxycarbonyl-3 et −5 furannes

Treatment of methyl 2-bromomethylfuran-3-carboxylate with potassium cyanide yielded methyl 2-cyanomethylfuran-3-carboxylate, methyl 2-methyl-5-cyanofuran-3-carboxylate and two unusual products which appeared by nucleophilic substitution of the activated methylene group of the preceding furylacetonilrile. Products from the cyanide displacement reaction of methyl 5-chloromethylfuran-2-carboxylate are formed in the same way and their previously described formulas are corrected. On the other hand, it was pointed out that phosphorus oxychloride-pentachloride transformation of 2-cyanomethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid leads to 4,6-disubstituted furo[3,2-c]pyridines.     

Benzindoles. 21. Nitration of 3-formyl[4, 5]-and 3-formyl [6,7] benzindoles

It was established that products of monosubstitution of 4-nitro- and 7-nitro-3-formyl[4,5] benzindoles and products of disubstitution of 4,8-dinitro- and 7,8-dinitro-3-formyl [4,5] benzindoles are formed in low yields in the nitration of 3-formyl [4,5]benzindole with sodium nitrate in concentrated sulfuric acid. Similar nitration of 3-formyl [6,7] benzindole leads to 9-nitro- and 5, 6-dinitro-3-formyl [6,7]benzindoles. The 3-formylnitrobenzindoles obtained were converted to nitrovinyl derivatives by condensation with nitromethane.See [1] for Communication [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 949–955, July, 1980.

The nitration of 3-hydroxyquinoline with concentrated nitric acid in sulfuric acid at ?30 to +30°C gives 5-nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline (85–92%) and 7-nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline (7–12%). 4-Nitro-3-hydroxyquinoline is formed in 70% yield by nitration in acetic acid. 4,5-Dinitro-3-hydroxyquinoline is formed by further nitration of 4- and 5-nitro-3-hydroxyquinolines.     

Molecular level model for the agonist/antagonist selectivity of the 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel receptor

Summary Crystal structures of the 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) calcium channel activators Bay K 8643 [methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate], Bay O 8495 [methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate], and Bay O 9507 [methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate] were determined. The conformations of the 1,4-DHP rings of these activator analogues of Bay K 8644 [methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5- carboxylate] do not suggest that their activator properties are as strongly correlated with the degree of 1,4-DHP ring flattening as was indicated for members of the corresponding antagonist series. The solid state hydrogen bonding of the N(1)-H groups of the activators is not, unlike that of their antagonist counterparts, to acceptors that are directly in line with the donor. Rather, acceptor groups are positioned within ± 60 degrees of the N(1)-H bond in the vertical plane of the 1,4-DHP ring. Previously determined structure-activity relationships have indicated the importance of this N(1)-H group to the activity of the 1,4-DHP antagonists. Based on these observations, a model is advanced to describe the 1,4-DHP binding site of the voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channel and its ability to accommodate both antagonist and activator ligands.     

Stereoselektive Synthese von 3,5-disubstituierten Octahydroindolizinen

A Stereoselective Synthesis of 3,5-Disubstituted Octahydroindolizines On catalytic hydrogenation, methyl 6-nitro-9-oxodecanoate (1) underwent cyclization to 2 which, after hydrolysis, gave the bicyclic product 4 . By another series of reactions, 2 was transformed to methyl 3-methyloctahydroindolizine-5-carboxylate ( 7 ), Conversions of 7a to its C(5)-epimer 7b and vice versa were accomplished and the configurations of 7a and 7b determined. Finally, 7b was reduced in three steps to 11 (overall yield from 1 , 24%), which is an analog of several natural products.     

Ion radicals. 40. Formation of 10-phenylphenothiazine 5-oxide and Nitro-10-phenylphenolhiazirie 5-oxides by reaction of 10-phenylphcnolhiazine cation radical perchlorate with nitrite ion

The reaction of 10-phenylphenolhiazine cation radical ( 1 ) with nitrite ion leads not only to 10-phenylphenothiazine 5-oxide ( 2 ) but also to 3-nitro-10-phenylphenothiazinc 5,5-dioxide ( 4 ), and two dinitro-10-phenylphenolhia/.ine 5-oxidcs ( 5 and 6 ). The products ( 3-6 ) appear to he formed from the nitration of 2 by nitrogen dioxide, the nitrogen dioxide arising from the reaction of nitric oxide (formed along with 2 when 1 reacts with nitrite anion) and oxygen.     

Diazotization of Methyl 3-Amino-7-Isopropyl-2-Methoxyazulene-1-Carboxylate and its 5-Isopropyl Isomer- a Convenient Synthesis of 1,2-Azulenequinone Derivatives

Methyl 3-amino-2-methoxy-7-isopropylazulene-l-carboxylate( 8a ) and its 5-isopropyl isomer ( 8b ) were synthesized by reduction of the 3-nitro derivatives ( 7a,b ) with zinc/acetic acid in excellent yields. 7a and 7b were prepared by nitration and methylation of methyl 7-isopropyl-2-hydroxyazulene-l-carboxylate ( 5a ) and methyl 5-isopropyl-2-hydroxyazulene-l-carboxylate ( 5b ), respectively. Diazotization of 8a with sodium nitrite in trifluoroacetic acid at 0 °C gave methyl 5-isopropyl-1,2-azulenequinone-3-carboxylate ( 9a ) in 91% yield. Similar reaction of 8b gave the corresponding methyl 7-isopropyl-1,2-azulenequinone-3-carboxylate ( 9b ) in 93% yield. No evidence for the formation of l-diazo-1,2-azulenequinones was obtained.     

Nitration of trans-2-styrylthiophene

The nitration of trans-2-styrylthiophene in carbon tetrachloride, nitroethane and acetic anhydride has been investigated. The nitration products were: β-nitro-2-styrylthiophene as the main product with 3-nitro-2-styrylthiophene and the 5-nitro isomer in smaller amounts. They were identified by the chromato-graphic and spectroscopic (uv and nmr) comparison with the reference compounds. The isomer percentages, determined by glc, were unchanged under different nitration conditions (time, temperature and molar ratio), but were dependent on the solvent used.

Directive nature of the nitration of the oximes of 2-acetylthiophene and 2-propionylthiophene

A method of obtaining pure 2-acetyl- and 2-propionyl-5-nitrothiophenes by nitrating the oximes of the corresponding ketones with the subsequent isolation from the mixtures formed of the pure oximes of the 2-acyl-5-nitrothiophenes and their saponification has been developed.
