Identification of xanthones and new arabinosides of flavone C-glucosides from Swertia perennis L. – Seven tetraoxygenated xanthones [1,3,7,8-tetrahydroxy-xanthone ( 1 ); 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-xanthone ( 2 ); 1,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy-xanthone ( 3 ); 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy-xanthone ( 4 ); 3,7,8-trihydroxy-xanthone-xanthone-1-0-β-glucoside ( 5 ); 3,7,8-trimethoxy-xanthone-1-0-primeveroside ( 6 ); 8-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-xanthone-1-0-primeveroside ( 7 )] have been isolated chromatographically, using polyamide columns, from roots of Swertia perennis L . From leaves and stems of the same plant, six xanthones [1,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxy-xanthone ( 8 ); 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-xanthone-8-0-β-glucoside ( 9 ); mangiferin ( 10 ); 1 ; 4 ; 5 ] and four flavone C-glycosides [iso-orientin ( 11 ); isovitexin ( 12 ); iso-orientin-6″-arabinoside ( 13 ); isovitexin-6″-arabinoside ( 14 )] have also been isolated. Among these compounds, 7 , 13 and 14 were not encountered before in nature. In the last two compounds, the position of arabinose on the C-glucoside moiety of the flavone was established by ¹³C-NMR. spectroscopy.     

Structural confirmation of decussatin, a Swertia decussata xanthone

Reinvestigation of the plant, Swertia decussata resulted in the isolation of four antioxidant xanthones, which were characterized as 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy, 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy, 1,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy and 1,7,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthones. The structural ambiguity of the first compound was settled by ASIS-NMR and 2D NOESY spectroscopy.     

Photochemistry synthesis. Part 1: Syntheses of xanthine derivatives by photolysis of 1-(5′-oxohexyl)-3,7-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (pentoxifylline): an ambident chromophore

We investigated the use of photochemistry to make novel derivatives of pentoxifylline. Under conditions that favour singlet excited states, we obtained 1-allyl-3,7-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione, (R^∗,R^∗)-(±)-1-{[2-hydroxy-2-methylcyclobutyl]methyl}-3,7-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione and 1-(5-hydroxyhexyl)-3,7-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione. Naphthalene or molecular oxygen increases the yields and triplet sensitisers (acetophenone, benzophenone and acetone) decrease the yields. Efficient intramolecular triplet energy transfer from the carbonyl to the xanthine moiety allows the carbonyl moiety to react from a singlet excited state only. In solvents with an α-hydroxyalkyl hydrogen under conditions that favour triplet excited states, we obtained 8-substituted pentoxifylline derivatives: 8-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-3,7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxohexyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione in isopropanol, 8-(1-hydroxymethyl)-3,7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxo-hexyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione in methanol and 8-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3,7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxohexyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione in ethanol. The xanthine moiety reacts from a triplet state via a radical mechanism and yields are considerably improved by the addition of catalytic amounts of di-tert-butyl peroxide.

Facile Preparation of 3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane and 3,7,10-Triheterocyclic [3.3.3]Propellane Ring Systems from 1,5-Diazacyclooctane 3,7-Derivatives(1)

The cyclodimerization of p-toluenesulfonamide and 3-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propene to prepare N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3,7-bis(methylene)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (1a) and its ozonation to the corresponding 3,7-dione 2a are reported. Unusual transannular cyclizations initiated by lithium aluminum hydride treatment or bromination of 1a and oxidative coupling of the dioxime derived from 2a are described. These reactions lead, respectively, to the following derivatives of the little-studied 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system: 1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (5), N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-bis(bromomethyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (8), and N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-dinitro-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, (12). Acid-catalyzed hydration of 1a, in contrast, gives the expected 5-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-1-ol (10). Reaction of the dibromide 8 with the nucleophiles, sodium sulfide, sodium oxide, and sodium p-toluenesulfonamide conveniently delivers the corresponding novel 3,7,10-triheterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes.

Transformations of monoterpenoids in aqueous acids: The reactions of linalool. geraniol,nerol and their acetates in aqueous citric acid

The fate of linalool, geraniol and nerol and their acetates in aqueous citric and hydrochloric acids has been investigated. Linalool and linalyl acetate yield predominantly α-terpineol and 3,7-dimethyloct-1-en-3,7-diol (6). Geraniol and nerol afford α-terpineol, linalool and the isomeric 3,7-dimethyloct-2-en-1,7-diols (7 and 8). While both neryl and geranyl acetate give α-terpineol and linalool, the former affords Z-1-acetoxy-3,7-dimethyloct-2-en-7-ol (8a), and the latter the E-isomer 7a and 2β-acetoxymethyl-1α,3,3-trimethylcyclohexanol (13).     

Separation of six xanthones from Swertia franchetiana by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography

In our present study, two groups of xanthones isomers (1‐hydroxy‐3,5,8‐trimethoxyxanthone and 1‐hydroxy‐3,7,8‐trimethoxyxanthone; 1,8‐dihydroxy‐3,7‐dimethoxyxanthone and 1,8‐dihydroxy‐3,5‐dimethanolxanthone) and other two xanthones (3‐methoxy‐1,5,8‐trihydroxyxanthone and 3,5‐dimethoxy‐1‐hydroxyxanthone) were separated from Swertia franchetiana . First, a solvent system composed of petroleum ether/methanol/water (2:1:0.6, v/v) was developed for the liquid–liquid extraction of these xanthones from the crude extract. Then, an efficient method was established for the one‐step separation of these six xanthones by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography using n‐hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/ethanol/water (HEMEW; 6:4:4:2:4, v/v) as the solvent system. The results showed that liquid–liquid extraction could be well developed for efficient enrichment of target compounds. Additionally, high‐speed countercurrent chromatography could be a powerful technology for separation xanthones isomers. It was found ethanol could be a good methanol substitute when the HEMEW system could not provide good separation factors.

Cross-coupling of highly pyramidalized alkenes: A straightforward access to functionalized tetrasecododecahedradienes

The synthesis and chemical trapping of a highly pyramidalized pentacyclo[6.4.0.0(2,10).0(3,7).0(4,9)]dodec-8-ene containing ketal functions is reported. Its cross-coupling reaction with 3, 7-dimethyltricyclo[3.3.0.0(3,7)]oct-1(5)-ene followed by a [2 + 2] retrocycloaddition reaction gives a straightforward access to functionalized tetrasecododecahedradienes.     

Synthesis of 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0]nonanes by intramolecular haloetherification and/or transannular hydroxycyclization of alkenes in [4+3]-cycloadducts

The synthesis of new difunctionalized 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes is described. This type of structure is an interesting synthetic building block for potential bioactive molecules and it was prepared from 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one having a NHBoc function on C-1. This precursor was obtained by a [4+3] cycloaddition reaction of 2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminofuran and the oxyallyl cation generated in situ from 2,4-dibromo-3-pentanone. Reduction of the carbonyl group at C-3 was accomplished in high yield and stereoselective manner to afford the corresponding axial alcohol at C-3 as a major product. Further intramolecular haloetherification of this type of alcohols with NBS and I(py)2BF₄ led to the corresponding bromo and iodo-derivatives at C-8 of the 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonane framework, in high yield. Epoxidation of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ol followed by treatment with NaCN, NaN₃, and/or NaOH in MeOH afforded 8-hydroxy-2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes in high yield via a transannular hydroxycyclization mediated by a base and through an alkoxide intermediate. The new 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes were tested for biological activity against HIV-1 virus and MT-4 lymphoid cell line, showing a low anti-HIV activity and a high degree of cytotoxicity.

Modified guanidines as potential chiral superbases. 3. Preparation Of 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene systems and 1,4-disubstituted 2-iminoimidazolidines by the 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride-induced cyclization of guanidines with a hydroxyethyl substituent

Simple preparation methods of modified guanidines have been explored as potential chiral superbases. Thus, 3,7,8-trisubstituted and 3,6,7, 8-tetrasubstituted 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene systems were prepared from (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine through stepwise 2-chloro-1, 3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC)-induced cyclizations of protected thioureas to the corresponding 2-iminoimidazolidines and then of 2-(2-hydroxyethylimino)imidazolidines to the bicyclic systems. Linear guanidines with a 2-hydroxyethyl functional group were prepared by the reaction of carbodiimides with 2-amino alcohols. Reaction of linear-type guanidines with DMC followed by base treatment afforded 1,4-disubstitued 2-iminoimidazolidines. Furthermore, another type of 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene was also prepared through double DMC-induced cyclization of guanidines with two 2-hydroxyethyl substituents.
