Design and synthesis of two triazonine-carbaldehyde derivatives using several chemical tools

Several triazonine-carbaldehyde derivatives have been prepared using different protocols; however, some require special reagents and conditions. The aim of study involved the synthesis of two triazonine-carbaldehyde derivative using testosterone or OTBS-testosterone as chemical tool. Triazonine-carbaldehyde derivatives were prepared by a series of reactions that involve the following: (1) synthesis of two nitrobenzamide derivatives by reaction of testosterone or OTBS-testosterone with p-nitrobenzoyl azide using Copper(II) as catalyst; (2) reaction of the nitrobenzamides with ethylenediamine to form two triazonine derivatives using boric acid as catalyst; (3) preparation of hexynyl-triazonine derivatives by the reaction of two triazonines 6-chlorohex-1-yne in basic medium; (4) reaction of hexynyl-triazonine derivatives with benzaldehyde to form two triazoninol analogs; (5) preparation of triazoninynal derivatives through oxidation of triazoninol analogs with dimethyl sulfoxide; and (6) synthesis of triazonine-carbaldehyde derivatives by the reaction of triazoninynal derivatives with hexyne-1 using Copper(II) as catalyst. The chemical structure of compounds was determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. In conclusion, in this work were prepared two triazoninone derivatives using several chemical techniques, which are simple procedures and easy to handle.     

Hydroxymethylation and aminomethylation of 6-mercaptopurine and its derivatives

Labile aminomethyl and hydroxymethyl derivatives of 6-mercaptopurine (I) (6-MP) and S⁶-acyloxymethyl-6-MP have been converted to stable acetyloxymethyl derivatives by their reaction with acetic anhydride. Analysis of the reaction products and comparison of their 'H nmr spectra and hplc chromatograms with those of acetyloxymethyl derivatives of known structures suggested 1) that the aminomethyl derivatives of 6-MP were 7-substituted derivatives, 2) that the aminomethyl derivative of S⁶-acetyloxylmethyl-6-MP was a 9-derivative, 3) that the hydroxymethyl derivative of 6-MP was a mixture of 7-substituted and S⁶,3-disubstitu-ted derivatives, and 4) that the hydroxymethyl derivative of S⁶-pivaloyloxymethyl-6-MP was a 9-substituted derivative. In addition, a previously unreported dialkyl derivative of 6-MP VI was isolated from its reaction with aminomethylating agent and characterized. Analyses of the 'H nmr spectra and hplc chromatograms of the reaction of VI with acetic anhydride suggested that VI was a 1,7-disubstituted derivative.     

Catalytic hydrogen transfer over magnesia, Part XVIII. , Chemoselective reduction of formyl and acetyl derivatives of furan and thiophene

Chemoselective reduction of formyl and acetyl derivatives of furan (F) and thiophene (T) to the corresponding carbinols by 2-propanol has been performed in vapour phase over MgO as a catalyst. Formyl derivatives of (F) and (T) have been reduced to the corresponding carbinols with selectivity 96 and 71%, respectively. Above 573 K the reduction of (T)-CHO was accompanied by the formation of thiophene whose yield increased with temperature (36% at 723 K). Acetyl derivatives of (F) and (T) have been reduced to the corresponding carbinols which at higher temperatures underwent dehydration to vinyl derivatives and were further reduced to ethyl derivatives. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis of certain alkenyl purines and purine analogs

Synthesis of alkenyl derivatives of certain purines and purine analogs is described. Direct alkylation of the sodium salt of 6-chloropurine (1) either with 1-bromo-2-pentene or 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene in N,N-dimethylformamide furnished N-7, 4a and N-9, 3a , 3b alkenyl derivatives. Similar alkylation of 2-amino-6-chloropurine (2) provided the corresponding N-7, 4c-4e and N-9, 3c-3e alkenyl derivatives. Acid hydrolysis of these chloro derivatives 3a-3e, 4a,c-e furnished the corresponding alkenyl hypoxan-thines 6a, 6b and 7a or alkenyl guanines 6c-6e and 7c-7e. Treatment of 3a-3d with thiourea in absolute ethanol provided the corresponding 6-thio derivatives 5a-5d. Alkylation of the sodium salt of either purine-6-carboxamide (8) or 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (10) gave mainly one isomer 9a, 9b and 11a, 11b. The direct alkylation of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (12) gave N-3 alkenyl derivatives 13a, 13b , and the N-7 alkenyl derivatives 16a, 16b have been prepared starting from the 4-chloro derivative 14 . Synthesis of 2-amino-7-(2-penten-1-yl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (19a) has been accomplished starting from 2-amino-4-methoxypyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (17) . These alkenyl derivatives were found to be devoid of anti-HCMV activity in vitro.     

Preparations of anthraquinone and naphthoquinone derivatives and their cytotoxic effects

Chrysophanol and 1,8-di-O-hexylchrysophanol derivatives having nucleic acid bases at position 5 were synthesized. Furthermore, derivatives of menadione substituted at position 11 (type A naphthoquinone derivatives) or methylmenadione substituted at position 7 (type B naphthoquinone derivatives) modified with nucleic acid bases, amines and thiocyano, selenocyano or thioacetyl groups were synthesized. The cytotoxic effects of these derivatives on HCT 116 cells, which poorly express P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and Hep G2 cells, which stably express P-gp, were evaluated by performing 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Results were compared with those obtained using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which has been used clinically. Several of these derivatives exhibited markedly higher potent cytotoxic effects not only on HCT cancer cells but also Hep G2 cancer cells as compared with 5-FU.     

Preparation and antitumor activity of 2'-O-, 3'-O- and 2',3'-di-O-substituted derivatives of etoposide.

The 2'-O-, 3'-O- and 2',3'-di-O-substituted derivatives (4a--p) of etoposide were prepared by nucleophilic substitution of 4'-O-benzyloxycarbonyletoposide (2) followed by deprotection. Controlled reaction (a limited amount of reagents and low temperature) was required for preparing the mono-O-substituted derivatives. In terms of ED125 values, doses which show 125% of T/C against P388 leukemia in mice, both the 2'-O-acetate (4a, ED125 = 0.18 mg/kg) and 3'-O-acetate (4b, 0.23 mg/kg) were nearly as active as etoposide (1, 0.19 mg/kg), while the 2',3'-di-O-acetate (4c, 1.9 mg/kg) was somewhat less potent. In the replacement with other substituents, antitumor activity of the 2'-O-substituted derivatives was affected much more by the difference of the substituents as compared with that of the corresponding 3'-O-substituted derivatives. In the 2',3'-di-O-substituted derivatives, the activity was decreased additively on the substituents.     

The derivatisation of avermectins and milbemycins in milk: new insights and improvement of the procedure

Derivatisation of the avermectines ivermectin (IVM), doramectin (DOR), abamectin (ABA) and eprinomectin (EPR), and the milbemycin moxidectin (MOX) to fluorescent derivatives is commonly used for quantitative analysis at relevant levels using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. Problems associated with the differences in reactivity towards derivatisation (EPM) and limited stability of the derived products (IVM, DOR, ABA) may seriously hamper the applicability of the method and the reliability of the obtained results. A study was performed to obtain more insight in this derivatisation process from an organic chemistry point of view. This study demonstrated the occurrence of two main fluorescent derivatives: the trifluoroacetyl esters (flu-TFA) and the derivatives with a free hydroxy group at the glycosidic ring (flu-OH). Optimisation of the derivatisation conditions resulted in a fast and reproducible formation of the fluorescent derivatives for all analytes including EPM. The improved procedure involves the addition of 1-methylimidazole (MI), trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), triethylamine (TEA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) with a subsequent incubation for 30 min at 70 °C. With this procedure for IVM, DOR and ABA flu-TFA derivatives are obtained instead of flu-OH derivatives as generally described in literature. The derivatisation is reproducible in different milk samples and the derivatives proved to be stable for at least 80 h at room temperature. Using the optimised procedure a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.1 μg kg⁻¹ in milk was readily obtained.

Synthesis and Study of Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of 3-Substituted-6- (substituted-phenylazo) coumarins

It has attracted a lot of attentions to synthesize and investigate the behaviors of organic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. [1,2] We have ever reported that acridine derivatives ,[3] 4-substituted-benzylideneoxazol-5(4H)-one[4] and 4,4′-di-styryl-biphenyl derivatives[5] possess good second-order NLO properties. Coumarin derivatives are good organic optical materials and azobenzene derivatives possess a higher second-order nonlinear polarization values, however, there are few reports about the study on the synthetic method, optical behavior, especially,second-order NLO properties of 3-substitued-6-(substituted-phenylazo) coumarin derivatives. Therefore, a series of the following compounds were prepared in order to investigate their NLO behavior.     

On triazoles. XII. The carbamoylation and thiocarbamoylation of 5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles

The reaction of 5-amino-3-R-1H-1,2,4-triazoles 1 with isocyanates 2 (X = O) and isothiocyanates 2 (X = S) was studied. It was stated that with isocyanates 3a (X = O) type ring-carbamoylated products were formed which did not rearrange to the corresponding exo-carbamoylated derivatives 6a (X = O). On the other hand the thiocarbamoylation of derivatives 1 provided at mild conditions lead to derivatives 3a (X = S) which could be rearranged by heating to derivatives 6a (X = S). In one case the isomeric 4a (X = S) type derivative was also isolated. The comparison of the ir, uv, pmr and cmr spectra of the isomers isolated with the corresponding spectra of the carbamoylated and thiocarbamoylated 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives helped to prove unequivocally the isomeric and tautomeric structure of compounds obtained giving a possibility to correct many confusions in the literature.

Complexation of phenolic guests by endo- and exo-hydrogen-bonded receptors

This article describes the complexation of phenol derivatives by hydrogen-bonded receptors. These phenol receptors are formed by self-assembly of calix[4]arene dimelamine or tetramelamine derivatives with 5,5-diethylbarbiturate (DEB) or cyanurate derivatives (CYA). The double rosette assemblies 3(3).(DEB)6/(CYA)6 have their phenol-binding functionalities (ureido groups) at the top and at the bottom of the double rosette (exo-receptors). The tetrarosette assemblies 4(3).(DEB)12/(CYA)12 form a cavity with binding sites between the two double rosettes for guest encapsulation (endo-receptors). An intrinsic binding constant Ka of 202 M-1 and 286 M-1 for the binding of 4-nitrophenol to the ureido functionalized exo- and endo-receptors, respectively, was observed. For the exo-receptor a 1:6 stoichiometry was observed while for the endo-receptor 1:4 binding stoichiometry was determined by Job plot and MALDI-TOF MS. The important role that the hydroxy group's acidity plays in the complexation of 4-nitrophenol is clarified by binding studies with different phenol derivatives. The hydrogen-bonded receptors showed a much smaller response towards less acidic phenol derivatives.

Synthesis of physiologically active compounds of the thiosemicarbazone series and derivatives

With a view to discovering new plant growth regulators, a series of thiosemicarbazones and derivatives of thiazolidine-2-4-dione were synthesized. Reaction of epichlorohydrin with derivatives of thiazolidine-2,4-dione without a substituent at positions gives 3-(β-hydroxy-γ-chloropropyl) derivatives of thiazolidine-2, 4-dione-2-hydrazone.     

Coupling reaction of zirconacyclopentadienes with dihalonaphthalenes and dihalopyridines: a new procedure for the preparation of substituted anthracenes, quinolines, and isoquinolines.

Reactions of tetraiodobenzene with zirconacyclopentadienes, which were conveniently prepared from two alkynes (or diynes) and zirconocene complexes, afforded 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted diiodonaphthalene derivatives in good isolated yields. These 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted diiodonaphthalene derivatives could be converted to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octasubstituted anthracene derivatives by reaction with a second zirconacyclopentadiene. When the two zirconacyclopentadienes were different, unsymmetrical anthracenes such as 1,2,3,4-tetraethyl-5,6,7,8-tetraphenylanthracene (68% isolated yield) were obtained. On the other hand, treatment of a 2,3-dihalopyridine such as 2-bromo-3-iodopyridine with zirconacyclopentadienes gave 5,6,7,8-tetrasubstituted quinoline derivatives in good to high yields. 3,4-dihalopyridines such as 4-chloro-3-iodopyridine reacted with zirconacyclopentadienes to afford 5,6,7,8-tetrasubstituted isoquinoline derivatives in good to high yields.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of some 3,5-pyrazolidinediones

Syntheses of various derivatives of 3,5-pyrazolidenedione are reported. This includes 4-arylidene (alkylidene or aralkylidene)-3,5-pyrazolidinediones, which on epoxidation gave unreported oxiranes. The syntheses of these derivatives were based on either the Knoevenagel reaction of carbonyl derivatives with 3,4-pyrazolidinedione or cyclization of arylidene (alkylidene) malonic acid hydrazide with glacial acetic acid. 4-Arylazo-3,5-pyrazolidinedione derivatives were also prepared by coupling of aryldiazonium salts with 3,5-pyrazolidinedione or cyclization of arylazomalonic acid hydrazide. Reduction of 4-benzylidene derivatives gave the corresponding benzyl derivatives. The structure of the new products was confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses and X-ray crystallography.     

Polymerization of cyclic derivatives of uracil and thymine

Cyclic derivatives of uracil and thymine were synthesized from their corresponding 1-(2′-chloroethyl) derivatives by dehydrochlorination. These compounds were found to undergo a variety of reactions, giving many valuable derivatives of uracil and thymine. The cyclic derivatives, as monomers, were polymerized with a cationic initiator by a unique ring-opening process. The polymerization proceeded by ring opening with isomerization of the pyrimidine ring to give a polymer in which pyrimidine rings were connected with ethylene between N-1 and N-3 or O-4 in the pyrimidine ring. The structure of these polymers was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and mass spectra. The structure was affected by polymerization temperature.     

Determination of ppb levels of tryptophan derivatives by capillary electrophoresis with homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction and sweeping method

Tryptophan (Trp) derivatives were selectively separated from 24 kinds of amino acid mixture solutions. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV detection using the described pretreatment system was able to separate and determine 4 kinds of Trp derivatives: 5-hydroxy L-tryptophan, 5-methyl L-tryptophan, 1-methyl L-tryptophan and L-tryptophan. The pretreatment system used a combination of a homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction and a sweeping method, the two are different kinds of powerful preconcentration/separation methods. Trp derivatives were thus separated by two different separation systems. First, these derivatives were selectively extracted at 57-100% by a homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction; secondly, they were respectively separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with a sweeping effect. The detection limits following complete separation of the Trp derivatives were 10(-8) mol l(-1) levels, respectively. The proposed method provided a more than 10-fold the improvement in sensitivity compared with fluorescence labeling/fluorophotometric analysis; the proposed method was also applied to the component analysis of nutritious medicine.
