Linear and cyclic N-acetyl-α-aryl-glycines: Synthesis and chemiluminescence studies

Summary A series of N-acetyl--arylglycines (IIa,IIb) was prepared by acid-induced electrophilic -amidoalkylation reactions; compounds of typeIIb were transformed into the corresponding 3-acetylaminobenzo[b]furan-2(3H)ones (III) by treatment with acetic anhydride. It was found that most of these new compounds (lactones as well as open chain derivatives) undergo base induced oxidation in the presence of oxygen with the emission of visible light. Preliminary structure-activity relationships for these novel chemiluminescence class are proposed.

Lineare und cyclische N-Acetyl--aryl-glycine: Synthese und Chemilumineszenz-Untersuchungen

Zusammenfassung Eine Reihe von N-Acetyl--arylglycinen (IIa,IIb) konnte durch sauer induzierte elektrophile -Amidoalkylierung hergestellt werden; die Behandlung von Verbindungen des TypsIIb mit Acetanhydrid führte zu den entsprechenden 3-Acetylaminobenzo[b]furan-2(3H)onen (III).

Erste Struktur-Aktivitäts-Beziehungen für diese neue chemilumineszenzierende Klasse werden vorgeschlagen.

New dithio-bis-(diaroylmethanes) and acetyl diaroylchloromethyl disulfides: Attractive synthons and precursors for the liberation of highly reactive dithiiranes or thiosulfines

Summary In a new, feasible procedure five symmetricalpara-substituted diaroylmethanes ((4-X-C₆H₄-CO)₂-CH₂;X=F, Cl, Br, CH₃, and CH₃O) are prepared, in most cases in very good yields. For purification and activation, they are converted into the copper(II) complexes of their enolates. Subsequently, three reaction steps with disulfur dichloride (S₂Cl₂), chlorine, and ethanethioic acid yield new CH-acidic dithio-bis-(diaroylmethanes), -chlorosulfenic acid chlorides, and acetyl diaroyl-chloromethyl disulfides. The latter compounds are of interest for the liberation of highly reactive dithiirane/thiosulfine species. With thiomorpholine, -chlorosulfenic acid chlorides give -chlorosulfenic acid amides.

On the fate of biliverdin-IIIα-dimethyl ester formed by scrambling during syntheses of biliverdin-IXα-dimethyl ester from bilirubin

Summary In preparations of biliverdin-IX-dimethyl ester (2 b) from bilirubin-IX (1) the ratio of the XIII- and III-isomers3 b and4 b, formed via intermolecular scrambling, should be unity. However, irrespective of the synthetic variant considered, the amount of4 b obtained usually is exceptionally low. This is partly ascribed to a consecutive reaction of4 b in acidic methanol affording the chiral diastereomeric bridged biliverdins5 (a undb) and6 (a andb), respectively.

Zum Verbleib des durch Scrambling gebildeten Biliverdin-III-dimethylethers bei Synthesen des IX-Isomeren aus Bilirubin

Zusammenfassung Bei der Darstellung von Biliverdin-IX-dimethylester (2 b) aus Bilirubin-IX (1) sollte das Verhältnis der durch intermolekulares Scrambling gebildeten XIII- und III-Isomeren3 b bzw.4 b eins betragen. Tatsächlich aber ist die Ausbeute an4 b, unabhängig von der verwendeten synthetischen Variante, immer sehr klein. Dieser Umstand läßt sich zumindest teilweise auf eine spezifische Reaktion von4 b in saurem Methanol zurückführen, in deren Verlauf die chiralen diastereoisomeren überbrückten Biliverdine5 (a undb) sowie6 (a undb) gebildet werden.

     

A thermodynamic and structural study of the interactions of pyridino- and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 ligands with some primary organic ammonium cations

Equilibrium constant (K), enthalpy change (H), and entropy change (S) values have been determined calorimetrically at 25°C in 90%MeOH 10%H₂O (v/v) for the interactions of pyridino-18-crown-6 (P18C6) and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 (K₂P18C6) with perchlorate salts of ammonium, benzylammonium,-phenylethylammonium,-phenylethylammonium, and-(1-naphthyl)ethyl-ammonium cations. The crystal structure of the complex of P18C6 with benzylammonium perchlorate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The¹H 1D and 2D NMR spectra of some of these complexes were used to elucidate their structural features in solution. The logK values for the interaction of the ammonium cations with P18C6 are larger than those with K₂P18C6, probably due to the higher degree of structural flexibility of P18C6. Ligand K₂P18C6 displays appreciable - interaction with the-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium cation, but not with the-phenylethylammonium cation.- interaction between ligand and cationSupplementary Data relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No SUP 00000 (22 pages)     

Gas-chromatographic quantitation of lindane in household insecticide spray cans

Summary A method was developed for the determination of the lindane content of commercial household insecticide spray aerosols. After the propellant is removed from the chilled contents of the spray packages the hydrocarbon solution is analysed for its lindane content by electron-capture gas chromatography. Pure -isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane serves as the internal standard. Experimental error is ± 5%.

Summary -Chloro--cyano-cinnamonitrile (1) reacts in one step with -oxo-thioles3 or successively with sodium sulphide and -chlorocarbonyl compounds4 to form the 5-substituted 4-amino-2-phenyl-thiophene-3-carbonitriles5. Analogously, the successive reactions of -chloro cinnamonitrile1 with sodium selenide — produced in situ from selene and sodium boronhydride — and -chlorocarbonyl compounds4 yields the 5-substituted 4-amino-2-phenyl-selenophene-3-carbonitriles6.

     

Strukturelle Abwandlungen an partiell silylierten Kohlenhydraten mittels Triphenylphosphan/Azodicarbonsäurediethylester, 4. Mitt.: Transformationen an Mannose und Galaktose

Reaction of methyl -D-galactopyranoside (1) with two equivalents oft-butyldimethylchlorosilane yields methyl 2,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-galactopyranoside (1 b), methyl 3,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-galactopyranoside (1 c) and methyl 4,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-galactopyranoside (1 d). Likewise methyl -D-mannopyranoside (6) affords methyl 2,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-mannopyranoside (6 d) and methyl 3,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-mannopyranoside (6 b), which can be isomerised withTPP/DEAD to methyl 4,6-bis-O-(tBDMSi)--D-mannopyranoside (6 f). Methyl 6-O-(tBDMSi)--D-galactopyranoside (1 a) and methyl 6-O-(tBDMSi)--D-mannopyranoside (6 a) can be prepared from1 or6 with one equivalent oft-butyldimethylchlorosilane.Without an external nucleophile the sugar derivatives1 a and1 b react withTPP/DEAD to form the 3,4-carbonato--D-galactopyranosides1 h and1 i and the 3,4-carbonato-2-O-ethoxycarbonyl--D-galactoside (1 j). In contrast to the formation of the compound1 i by means ofTPP/DEAD the reaction of1 a withTPP and Di-t-butyl-azodicarboxylate (DTBAD) yields the 2,3-anhydro--D-taloside (4 b) and only a small amount of1 i. The epoxide4 b can be cleaved withp-nitrobenzoylchloride/pyridine to the 3-chloro-3-deoxy-2,6-di-O-p-nitrobenzoyl--D-idoside (5). Reaction of1 c and1 d withTPP/DEAD yields the 2,3-anhydro--D-gulopyranoside (2), which can be transformed with NaN₃/NH₄Cl to the 2-azido-2-deoxy--D-idopyranoside (3).Likewise6 a and6 d can be converted to the 3,4-anhydro--D-talosides (7 a and7 b). Reaction of7 b or6 d withTPP/DEAD/NH₃ leads to 3,4-anhydro-2-azido-2-deoxy--D-galactopyranoside (8) and 3-azido-3-deoxy--D-altropyranoside (10), resp.The epoxide7 b is opened with NaN₃/NH₄Cl to the 4-azido-4-deoxymannosides (11 a and11 c) and the 3-azido-3-deoxy--D-idopyranoside (12), while the epoxide8 affords the 2,4-di-azido-2,4-dideoxy--D-glucopyranoside (9).Structures were elucidated by¹H-NMR-analysis of the corresponding acetates.

Intercalation of α,ω-Alkanediamines in Layered Aluminium Dihydrogen Triphosphate Dihydrate

Intercalation of ,-alkanediamines, NH₂(CH₂) _n NH₂ (n = 3–10), into layered aluminium dihydrogen triphosphate dihydrate, AlH₂(P₃(O₁₀... 2H₂O, was investigated by XRD, DTA-TG, elemental analysis, and solid-state ³¹P, ¹³C and ²⁷Al NMR. ,-Alkanediamines are intercalated to form a monomolecular layer in the interlayer region, in which the alkanediamines incline at 57 ± 5° to the phosphate layers, whereas n-alkylamines form a bilayer structure with the same inclination angle. Two amino groups in an ,-alkanediamine molecule bridge the layered sheets of phosphates.     

Hydrierung prochiraler Olefine mit Rhodium-Komplexen von optisch aktiven Amidinen

[RhCl(C₈H₁₄)₂]₂ together with the optically active amidines C₆H₅C(=NR)NHCH(CH₃) (C₆H₅) I–V or their Li derivatives after activation with molecular hydrogen gives catalysts which at room temperature and 1.1 bar H₂-pressure hydrogenate the prochiral substrates (Z)-[N-acetylamino]-cinnamic acid, itaconic acid, -methylcinnamic acid, -methylcinnamic aldehyde, and -methylcinnamic alcohol as well as cyclohexene, benzene and toluene. Good hydrogenation activity of the new catalysts is in contrast to low optical induction which only in the hydrogenation of -methylcinnamic alcohol with 1.5 to 2% leads to values different from zero.
