New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Diacetylenic Derivatives of Fe2(CO)6(μ-EE′): Spectroscopic Investigations of Fe2(CO)6{μ-EC(H) = C(C≡ CMe)E′} (E = E′, E ≠ E′; E, E′ = S, Se, Te)

The diacetylenic adducts, Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} (E = E, E E; E, E = S, Se, Te) (1–8) have been obtained from the room temperature stirring of Fe₂(CO)₆(-EE) with HC CC CMe in methanol solvent containing sodium acetate. Compounds 1–8 have been characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se, and ^l25Te) spectroscopy. Trends in the chemical shifts of ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te NMR spectra of Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} with a variation of EE are discussed.

Bi- and polynuclear organometallic complexes of palladium(II) with 4,4′-bipyridine

Summary Binuclear organometallic palladium complexes of the general formulae Pd₂[-(N-N)]R₂L₄(ClO₄)₂ and Pd₂[-(N-N)]Cl₂R₂L₂ [R = C₆F₅ or C₆CI₅; L = group VB or VIB ligand; (N-N') = 4,4-bipyridine] have been prepared by reacting the ligand (N-N) with compounds of the type Pd₂(-CI)₂R₂L₂ or PdOClO₃RL₂. Furthermore, polynuclear [PdR₂(N-N)]_x (R = Cl, C₆F₅ or C₆Cl₅) type complexes have been obtained by reaction of the ligand (N-N) with PdR₂(tht)₂, whilst treatment of [Pd₂(-CI)₂(C₆F₅)₄](NBu₄)₂ with an excess of (N-N) leads to the polynuclearcis-[Pd(C₆F₅)z(N-N)]_x species. Evidence for the structure of these compounds is obtained from their i.r. spectra.     

Reaction of 2,2-bis(4′-hydroxy-3′-N,N-diethylaminomethylphenyl) propane with triethyl phosphite

Conclusions The reaction of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-N,N-diethylaminomethylphenyl)propane with triethyl phosphite gave 2,2-bis(4-ethoxy-3-diethylphosphonomethylphenyl)propane via the intermediate formation of a compound with a pentacovalent phosphorus atom. In the presence of acetic acid the reaction leads to 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-diethylphosphonomethylphenyl)propane.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1621–1624, July, 1978.     

Polarographic behavior of 2,2′-bifuryl and 2,2′-furoin

In aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic buffer solutions at pH<9, 2, 2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin give two-electron polarographic electroreduction waves, the half-wave potentials of which depend on the pH. The primary product of the electroreduction of 2, 2-bifuryl is trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(, -furyl)ethylene, which then rearranges into 2, 2-furoin. The anode-cathode wave of 2,2-bifuryl has been studied by means of a Kalousek commutator. It has been shown that the polarographic behavior of 2,2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin is similar to that of benzil and benzoin, but differs from the behavior of analogs of the pyridine series.     

Fragmentation of the macrocyclic ring of alkaloids with the otonecine nucleus

Summary It has been shown that the fragmentation of the macrocycle of the otonecine bases qualitatively resembles the decomposition of macrocyclic alkaloids with the retronecine skeleton. The presence of an oxygen-containing substituent at C₅ and of an alkoxy group at C₂, when there is no C₅=C₆ double bond, substantially changes the direction of decomposition of the macrocycle.A similarity of the spectra of 11- and 12-membered bases with similar mutual orientation of CH₃ groups at C₂ and C₃ has been noted.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Reaction of succinonitrile with aliphatic amines

Conclusions The reaction of primary amines with succinonitrile leads to the formation of N,N,N,N-tetrasubstituted amidines and the liberation of 2 M of NH₃. The reaction of secondary amines with succinonitrile proceeds as an intramolecular condensation with the liberation of 1 M of NH₃ per mole of the dinitrile and the formation of the ^2,5–, -dialkylaminopyrrolene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2722–2725, December, 1973.     

Contributions to silica gel application in pesticide residue analysis

Summary An on-line method for the extraction and isolation of pesticides in milk and dairy products is discussed. Milk and aqueous dairy products are homogenized with silica gel. This sample having a water content of approximately 40% is brought into a column, which is filled with the 10% water silica gel necessary for the clean-up. Extraction and clean-up of the pesticides occurs on-line with light petroleum — dichloromethane 80+20 (v/v). The pesticides move with the solvent front from the upper silica gel to the lower 10% water column, where they are cleaned up. Quantitative identification of the pesticides is performed by glass capillary gas chromatography (ECD) as well as by mass spectroscopy. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachloroepoxide, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorobiphenyl were identified in milkThe hexachlorobiphenyl concentrations in milk are about 20 times the value of o,p-DDT and p,p-DDT.

Zusammenfassung Eine on-line-Methode zur Extraktion und Isolierung der Chlorkohlenwasserstoff-Pesticide in Milch und Milchprodukten wird beschrieben. Milch und wäßrige Milchprodukte werden zuerst mit Kieselgel homogenisiert. Diese Probenhomogenisate mit einem Wassergehalt von etwa 40% werden anschließend in eine Chromatographiesäule gefüllt, in der sich bereits das für den clean-up erforderliche Kieselgel mit 10% Wasserbelegung befindet. Die Extraktion bzw. der clean-up der Pesticide erfolgt on-line mit Petrolether-Dichlormethan 80+20 (v/v). Die Pesticide werden in der Lösungsmittelfront von der oberen auf die untere Kieselgelsäule (10% Wassergehalt) transportiert, an welcher schließlich die Abtrennung der Pesticide von den Störkomponenten erfolgt. Die Identifizierung und Quantifizierung der Pesticide erfolgt sowohl gas-chromatographisch (ECD) an Capillarsäulen als auch massenspektrometrisch. HCB, -HCH, -HCH, -HCH, -Heptachlorepoxid, p,p-DDE, Dieldrin, o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, 2,4,5,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl und 2,3,4,2,4,5-Hexachlorbiphenyl wurden in der Milch gefunden. Die Gehalte der beiden Hexachlorbiphenylkomponenten sind etwa 20mal so groß wie die von o,p-DDT und p,p-DDT.

Über das Nicotellin und die Synthese eines neuen Terpyridyls

Zusammenfassung Das Nicotellin enthält wahrscheinlich nicht, wie die meisten anderen Tabakalkaloide, 2 N-Atome in der Molekel, sondern hat die Formel C₁₅H₁₁N₃. Es werden gewichtige Gründe dafür beigebracht, es als 3,2;6,3-Terpyridyl (I) aufzufassen. Diese Hypothese wird durch Synthese des damit isomeren 3,2;4,3-Terpyridyls (V) und Vergleich der Infrarotspektren der beiden Terpyridyle mit denen von 4 bekannten Bipyridylen gestützt. Betrachtungen über eine mögliche Synthese des Nicotellins in der Pflanze führen zu Versuchen, diese Synthese in vitro nachzuahmen; diese Versuche geben aber eine andere Verbindung, wahrscheinlich das 1,5-Di--pyridyl-pentadien-(1,4)-on-(3).Herrn Prof. Dr.L.

Differential pulse-polarographic determination of adenine, adenosine and mono-, di- and tri-phosphate of adenosine

Summary The application of differential pulse polarography for the quantitative trace determination of adenine, adenosine, adenosine-3-monophosphate, adenosine-5-monophosphate, adenosine-5-diphosphate and adenosine-5-triphosphate has been investigated. Optimum conditions were found (pulse amplitude 100 mV, scan rate 2 mV · s^–1, drop time 2s). The effect of pH was studied, and the optimum pH was determined to give the highest sensitivity. The detection limit for adenine, adenosine and A-5-MP is ca. 2.2 ×10^–6M, 1.5×10^–6M and 2.99×10^–6M, respectively; for the other adenosine nucleotides it is 4.45×10^–6M. The validity of this method is supported by the constancy of the i _DPP/C values.
