Tetracyclines Communication 21. Synthesis of 2- and 3-substituted 10-oxo-9-hydroxy-9-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroanthracenes

Summary Various 10-oxo-9-hydroxy-9-methy 1-1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroanthracenes were synthesized; they are analogous in structure to the DCB ring system of tetracyclines and have active functional groups in the 2- and 3-positions (halogen atoms, the epoxy group, hydroxyl, and ketonic carbonyl), which creates the potentiality of the further introduction of suitable substituents and then the building up of the fourth ring of tetracyclines.For communication 20 see [1].The authors are deeply indebted to L. B. Senyavina for the measurement of infrared spectra.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Setiya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1013–1024, June, 1964

Crystal and Molecular Structure of Tricarbonyl-[(1R*, 4S*, 4aS*, 9aR*)-1,4-epoxy-2, 3-dimethylidene-1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroanthracene]iron

The thermal cyclodimerization of 5,6-dimethylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene assisted by Fe₂ (CO)₉ gives the title complex 1 , a precursor for the synthesis of antitumoral anthracyclinones. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction: a = 11.188 (1); c = 26.968 (3) Å; space group tetragonal, P4₁2₁2, Z = 8; R = 0.041; R_W = 0.033. The tricarbonyliron group is in the exo-position and the coordination polyhedron is tetragonal pyramidal. The NMR coupling constants are well-related to the observed dihedral angles between the non-aromatic protons and now give a reliable criterion for assigning the stereochemistry of the metal in d⁸-complexes of 2,3-dimethylidene-7-oxanorbornane derivatives.     

Simple Synthesis of 6-Substituted 4a-Methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,10b-hexahydrophenanthridines and -9,10-Benzophenanthridines

A route has been developed for the synthesis of 6-substituted 4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,10b-hexahydrophenanthridines and -9,10-benzophenanthridines. The effect has been shown of the nature of the substituent at position 10 of the ring on the chemical shift of the proton at position 10b.     

Conversion of 11-keto-9-beta, 10-alpha-steroids on 10-alpha-compounds. Synthesis of 10-alpha-cortisone, 11-oxo-10-alpha-progesterone, 10-alpha-androsterone and analogs of 11-hydroxy-compounds

Isomerisation of 11-keto-9β, 10α(retro)-steroids by acid or base led to the thermo-dynamically more stable 11-keto-10α-isomers, which have not yet been described in the literature. This epimerisation at C-9 constitutes a new route for the synthesis of 10α-steroids. The steric factors responsible for this isomerisation are discussed.     

Studies on anthracenes. 3. Synthesis, lipid peroxidation and cytotoxic evaluation of 10-substituted 1,5-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone derivatives

The synthesis of a series of 1,5-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenones bearing O-linked and N-linked substituents in the 10-position are described. Previous studies have shown that 9-acyloxy 1,5-dichloroanthracenes and 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracenes displayed a potential cytotoxic effect. These results have encouraged us in further investigation of potential anthracenone derivatives. Therefore, a series of 10-substituted 1,8-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone derivatives were synthesized. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (KB cell line), human cervical carcinoma cells of ME 180 (GBM 8401) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, respectively. Compounds 3c and 4c of this series compare favorably in the KB cellular assay with mitoxantrone. Compound 4c showed combined inhibitory action against KB, GBM and CHO cell growth, respectively. In addition, redox property of the compounds for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in model membranes was determined. Compounds 4b and 4d exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid, (+)-alpha-tocopherol and mitoxantrone, respectively.

Polyfused nitrogen-containing heterocycles 18. 2′-Amino-5-methyl-1,2,3,4,4′,5′-hexahydrospiro[quinoxaline-2,4′-thiazol]-3-ones. Synthesis,structure, and recyclization

Bis-3-(α-bromoethyl)quinoxalin-2-ones with 3-oxapentane or 3,6-dioxaoctane spacer binding two heterocyclic fragments react with thiourea to give the corresponding bis-spirothiazoloquinoxalines, which upon treatment with acetic anhydride can be converted to podands with terminal thiazoloannulated quinoxaline fragments. X-Ray data for 2′-amino-4-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2,3,4,4′,5′-hexahydrospiro[quinoxaline-2,4′-thiazol]-3-one indicate for this compound a potentiality to form clathrate structures with various solvate molecules.
