Preparation,molecular structures,and characteristic properties of (E)-1-(2-furyl)- and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylenes and (E)-1-(3-furyl)- and (E)-1-(3-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylenes

Wittig reactions of 2-furaldehyde (20) [and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (21)] with (3-guaiazulenylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (19) in ethanol containing NaOEt at 25 °C for 24 h under argon give (E)-1-(2-furyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (22E) and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (23E) in 53 and 36% yields. Similarly, Wittig reactions of 3-furaldehyde (29) [and thiophene-3-carbaldehyde (30)] with 19 under the same reaction conditions as for 20 and 21 afford (E)-1-(3-furyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (31E) and (E)-1-(3-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (32E) in 32 and 46% yields. Molecular structures and characteristic properties as well as preparation of the title E (i.e., one of the geometrical isomers) forms, with a view to comparative study, are reported. Moreover, reactions of those conjugated π-electron systems with TCNE (=tetracyanoethylene) in benzene [and in DMF (=N,N-dimethylformamide)] at 25 °C for 24 h under argon yield unique products, possessing interesting molecular structures, respectively, whose characteristic properties and crystal structures are documented, also.     

Molecular rearrangements of (-)-modhephene and (-)-isocomene to a (-)-triquinane

The preparation and further rearrangement of (-)-modhephene (1) to a (-)-triquinane 5 has been assessed through acid catalysis. The rearrangement involved protonation, 1,2 sigma-bond and methyl shifts, and deprotonation. Monitored experiments by 1H NMR spectroscopy suggested the intermediate (-)-isocomene (3), which was further evidenced when a sample of natural (-)-3 undergoes acid-catalyzed conversion to the (-)-triquinane 5. In addition, deuterated (-)-modhephene (1-d) labeled stereospecifically at the 14beta geminal methyl group at C4 was synthesized, through the corresponding chiral deuterated primary alcohol, in 5 steps, starting from natural (-)-14-hydroxymodhephene (8), and rearranged under acid catalysis to elucidate the stereochemical factors that control the methyl shift at this position. The final deuterium-labeled (-)-triquinane, 5-d, obtained from [14-(2)H1]-1-d was established to have deuterium in the methyl group at C5 by 13C NMR spectroscopy. This stereoselective methyl migration is in accordance with the molecular orbital demand formulated by the quantum chemical calculations performed in the present study.     

Total syntheses of beta-carboline alkaloids, (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K1, (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K2, and (R)-(-)-pyridindolol.

The total syntheses of beta-carboline alkaloids, (R)-(-)-pyridindolols (1, 5, and 6) are described. The two key steps involved are (1) a thermal electrocyclic reaction of the 3-alkenylindole-2-aldoxime 10 and (2) a thermal cyclization of 3-alkynylindole-2-aldoxime 11 to construct the beta-carboline N-oxides 8, which upon heating with acetic anhydride and sequential treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride gave the triflates 18. The Stille coupling reaction of 18 with vinylstannane, followed by cleavage of MOM ether, afforded the 1-ethenyl-3-hydroxymethyl-beta-carboline (7a). Subsequent acetylation of 7a yielded the acetate 7b, which was subjected to the Sharpless asymmetric 1,2-dihydroxylation by AD-mix-beta to produce (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K2 (6). Selective acetylation of 6 was effected by Ac(2)O and collidine to form (R)-(-)-pyridindolol K1 (5). By contrast, hydrolysis of 6 provided (R)-(-)-pyridindolol (1).     

An Efficient Synthesis of Optically Pure (R)- and (S)-2-(aminomethyl)alanine ((R)- and (S)-ama) and (R)- and (S)-2-(aminomethyl)leucine ((R)- and (S)-aml)

An efficient synthesis of enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-2-(aminomethyl)alanine ((R)- and (S)-Ama) 1a and (R)- and (S)-2-(aminomethyl)leucine ((R)- and (S)-Aml) 1b is described (Schemes 1 and 2). Resolution of the racemic amino acids was achieved using L -phenylalanine cyclohexylamide ( 2 ) as chiral auxiliary. The free amino acids 1a, b were converted to the N^α-Boc,N^γ-Z-protected derivatives 11a, b (Scheme 3) ready for incorporation into peptides. Based on the three crystal structures of the diastereoisomeric peptides 8a, 8b , and 9b , the absolute configurations in both series were determined. β-Turn type-I geometries were observed for structures 8b and 9b , whereas 8a crystallized in an extended backbone conformation.     

Reaction of (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum( II) with guanosine

The reaction of a new antitumor platinum complex, (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato++ +)platinum(II) (1) with guanosine at room temperature in an aqueous solution was followed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at intervals. Both techniques showed that a new compound was formed by displacement of the 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate moiety of 1 with two guanosines, and its 1H-NMR spectrum and HPLC chromatogram were proved to be identical with those of [(R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine]bis(N7-guanosine)platinum(II) (2), which was obtained upon successive treatment of (R)-(-)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidinedichloroplatinum(II) (3) with AgNO3 and 2 mol eq of guanosine in water. The binding sites of the platinum to the two guanosine moieties in 2 were confirmed by the pH dependence of the two G-H8 signals.     

Synthesis of (-)-7-epiaustraline and (-)-1-epicastanospermine

Highly efficient and selective syntheses of the title compounds are described. The cornerstone of the synthetic plan is the tandem inter [4 + 2]/inter [3 + 2] cycloaddition process. These syntheses differ from previous applications of this strategy in that they incorporate an alkylation in the hydrogenolysis step to close the second ring of the azabicyclic systems. Notable features of the sequence are (1) the highly regio- and stereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of nitronate 15 with siloxymethyl (Z)-beta-silylvinyl ketone (Z)-22b and (2) the highly selective reduction of the resulting ketone 24a with L-Selectride. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of synthetic (-)-7-epiaustraline confirmed that the targeted structure was successfully synthesized. This stimulated a reexamination of the structural assignment of the natural product. (-)-1-Epicastanospermine was synthesized in four steps from the common intermediate 27a. The absolute configuration of (-)-1-epicastanospermine was assured by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of intermediate (-)-27a. Thus, the sign of the optical rotation had to be revised. The overall efficiency of these syntheses were 9 steps and 23% yield for (-)-7-epiaustraline and 10 steps and 20% yield for (-)-1-epicastanospermine     

1-(Triorganylsilyl)-2-(triethoxysilyl)ethanes

Conclusions The conditions were found for the hydrosilylation of CH₂=CHSi(OC₂H₅)₃ with triorganylsilanes in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ · 6H₂O in isopropanol, which assured a high yield (>90%) of the 1-(triorganylsilyl)-2-(tri-ethoxysilyl)ethanes. These conditions were used to synthesize 27 new 1-(triorganylsilyl)-2-(triethoxysilyl)-ethanes.The addition of (C₂H₅O)₃SiH to (CH₂=CHSi(CH₃)₃ in the presence of the same catalyst gave 1-(trimethyl-silyl)-2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane in 98.6% yield.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1622–1625, July, 1976.

A highly enantioselective synthesis of the versatile chiral synthons possessing one stereogenic center, (S)- and (R)-4-aryl-5-hydroxy-(2E)-pentenoate (3) was achieved based on the enzymatic reaction of (+/-)-3 with commercially available lipases MY-30 or OF-360 from Candida rugosa. Application of (S)-3 and (R)-3 to the total syntheses of(S)-curcuphenol (1), (S)-curcudiol (2), and (R)-curcuphenol (1), respectively, is described.

1 INTRODUCTION Phosphorus-containing vinyl compounds havebeen widely studied due to their versatile physiolo-gical activities and applications in transition metalchemistry, asymmetric catalysis and photorearrange-ment[1～4]. In our previous papers, we have reportedthe syntheses of 2,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted-1,3-dithio-les[5] and 2,5-bis(morpholino)-3,4-bis-(p-chloro-phe-nyl)thiophenes[6] by the reactions of α-thioaroyl-thiofor-mamide with trimethyl phosphite at room tempera-ture and in refl…     

Reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatographic determination of Co(III)-, Ni(II)-, V(V)- and Fe(III)-2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulforpropyl)aminophenol chelates

The separation and determination of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) chelates with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulfopropyl)aminophenol (BTASPAP) by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC was investigated. In the presence of the oxidant potassium iodate, BTASPAP reacts with Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) to form stable, negatively charged, water-soluble chelates. The chelates were separated on a C(18) siloxane bonded phase and eluted within 7 min with acetonitrile-acetate-water (36:1:63 v/v) containing 0.2 mol 1(-1) acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.0) and 1.0 mmol 1(-1) tetrabutylammonium bromide. The detection limits of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) at 565 nm are 0.3, 0.8, 0.3 and 1.0 ng (signal-to-noise ratio = 2), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of Co, Ni, V and Fe in four samples of standard alloys.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of（E）-Ethyl 2-（5-（3-methyl-2-butenyloxy）-2-（3-（4-（3-methyl-2-butenyloxy）phenyl）acryloyl）phenoxy）acetate

The title compound,(E)-ethyl 2-(5-(3-methyl-2-butenyloxy)-2-(3-(4-(3-methyl-2-butenyloxy)phenyl) acryloyl) phenoxy)acetate(1),has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy,ESI-MS,and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.FT-IR,1H-NMR and ESI-MS confirm the functional groups,particularly the ethyl groups in the ester moiety,of the compound.The single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed a monoclinic structure,space group P21/n with a = 14.6832(14),b = 7.7581(7),c = 23.075(2),β = 101.670(2)o,V = 2574.2(4) ?3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.235 g/cm,μ = 0.085 mm-1,and F(000) = 1024.The skeleton of chalcone in the molecular structure is coplanar.     

Preparation of Zinc (II) and cadmium (II) complexes of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand 2-((E)-(2-(2-(pyridine-2-yl)- ethylthio)ethylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol (PytBrsalH)

We describe the synthesis and characterization of two new zinc (II) and cadmium (II) complexes of the tetradentate dissymmetric Schiff base ligand 2-((E)-(2-(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethylthio)ethylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol (PytBrsalH), prepared from 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-thia-5-aminopentane (pyta) and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. The complexes were synthesized by treating an ethanolic solution of the ligand with equimolar amounts of appropriate metal salts in 1 M methanolic solution of NaOH or alternatively, by a more direct route in which the two reactants are added to a solution of the ligand immediately after formation of the latter and prior to any isolation. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, (1)H-NMR, electronic spectra and molar conductivity. According to obtained data, the probable coordination geometries of zinc and cadmium in these complexes with mixed N, S and O donor atoms are tetrahedral- and octahedral-like,respectively. Both complexes were found to be 1:1 electrolyte systems in acetonitrile.     

Synthesis of 2-(Perfluoroalkylether)- and -(Perfluoroaryl) Benzothiazoles(su1)

Benzothiazoles containing 2-perfluoroalkylether as well as perfluoroaryl substituents have been synthesized by two methods: (1) direct acylation of 2-aminobenzenethiol with perfluoroacyl halides, and (2) the reduction of N, Nt?-diacy1-2, 2t?-diaminodiphenyldisulfides followed by dehydrative cyclization. The intermediates formed in the direct acylation procedure are the N-acylaminobenzenethiols rather than the S-acyl derivatives.     

Efficient and beta-Stereoselective Synthesis of 4(5)-(beta-D-Ribofuranosyl)- and 4(5)-(2-Deoxyribofuranosyl)imidazoles(1)

A synthetic route to 4(5)-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (1), starting from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-ribose (5), was developed via a Mitsunobu cyclization. Reaction of 5 with the lithium salt of bis-protected imidazole afforded the corresponding 5-ribosylimidazole 7RS. Hydrolysis of 7RS gave a 1:1 mixture of diol isomers 8R and 8S having an unsubstituted imidazole. Mitsunobu cyclization of the mixture 8RS using N,N,N',N'-tetramethylazodicarboxamide and Bu(3)P exclusively afforded benzylated beta-ribofuranosyl imidazole 9beta in 92% yield, accompanied by alpha-anomer 9alpha, in a ratio of 26.3:1. The configuration of 9beta was established by X-ray crystallography of ethoxycarbonyl derivative 10beta. Reductive debenzylation of 9beta over Pd/C was carried out, and the synthesis of 1 was attained from starting 5 in four steps and 87% overall yield. This synthetic methodology was extended to the synthesis of 4(5)-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (2). Mitsunobu cyclization of a 1:1 mixture of the corresponding diol isomers 14RS produced 15beta and 15alpha in a ratio of 5.4:1. The synthesis of 2 was attained in a 59% overall yield from the starting 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-ribose (12). beta-Stereoselective glycosylation in the key step is discussed and explained by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between an NH in the imidazole and the oxygen functional group in the sugar moiety.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (E)-2-(1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl Propionate

(E)-2-(1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl propionate (C22H27O6N, Mr = 401.45) has been synthesized by a condensation reaction of paeonol with tyrosin methyl ester hydrochloride, and its structure was determined by IR, NMR, HR MS and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c, with a = 11.91291(15), b = 9.49947(12), c = 19.8727(3) , β = 106.1104(15)°, V = 2160.60(5)3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.234 g/cm3, μ = 0.739 mm-1, F(000) = 856, R = 0.0466 and wR = 0.1461 for 3859 observed reflections with (Ⅰ> 2σ(Ⅰ)). In the crystal structure, the title compound is constructed by a centrosymmetric dimmer unit composed of a pair of π-π stacking enantiomers, and such units are linked by intermolecular O(5)-H(5)…O(1) and intramolecular N(1)-H(1)…O(1) hydrogen bonds.     

(E)-1-alkyl-4-

(E)-1-Alkyl-4-[2-(alkylsulfonyl)-1-ethenyl]pyridinium salts were synthesized in two steps. These sulfones were stable at pH 7.3 and underwent a nucleophilic vinylic substitution (S(N)V) with mercaptans, including thiouracile, to give the corresponding 4-(thiovinyl)-pyridinium salts. The X-ray diffraction structure of (E)-1-methyl-4-[2-(ethylsulfanyl)-1-ethenyl]pyridinium iodide indicated conjugation of the sulfur with the pyridinium ring. (Z)-1-Methyl-4-[2-(methylsulfanyl)-1-ethenyl]pyridinium iodide, prepared from the corresponding thioether by reaction with methyl iodide in diethyl ether, underwent isomerization to the E isomer in a first-order reaction in deuterated [D6]DMSO with an activation energy of 14 kcalmol(-1). At pH 7, the (E)-1-methyl-4-[2-(methylsulfonyl)-1-ethenyl]pyridinium iodide (19) reacted specifically with thiols. The reaction of this sulfone with glutathione in a TES buffer at pH 7 was a second-order reaction (k = 4,100 M(-1)s(-1) at 30 degrees C) and gave the corresponding substitution product with an intense long wavelength absorption band (lambdamax=360 nm, epsilon = 27,500 M(-1)cm(-1)). The modification of different enzymes of known structure with 19 showed the high selectivity of this reagent towards thiol groups and its usefulness in the quantitative determination of free thiol groups in proteins.
