Raspailynes,Novel Long-Chain Acetylenic Enol Ethers of Glycerol from the Marine Sponges Raspailia pumila and Raspailia ramosa

The sponges Raspailia pumila and ramosa (Demospongiae, Tetractinomorpha, Axinellida) from the North-East Atlantic are shown to contain a series of novel long-chain enol ethers of glycerol where the enol ether C?C bond is conjugated, in sequence, to both an acetylenic and an olefinic bond. Polar extracts give raspailynes hydroxylated at their (1Z5Z)-1,5-alkadien-3-ynyl chain, like raspailyne Al ( = (+)-(S)-3-[((1Z,5Z)-16-hydroxy-hexadeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; (+ 2 ) and isoraspailyne A ( = (+)-3-[((1Z,5Z)-17-hydroxyocta-deca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-[propanediol; (+)- 3 ). Less polar extracts give 3 different types of raspailynes not hydroxylated at the chain. Raspailynes of the first type have either the (1Z,5Z)-configuration in a linear chain such as raspailyne B2 (( = (?)-(s)-3-[((1Z,5Z)-trideca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; (?)-4), raspailyne Bl ( = (?)-3-[((1Z,5Z)-tetradeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol;(?)- 5 ), and raspailyne B ( = 3-[((1Z,5Z)-pentadeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 6 ) or the (1Z,5Z)-pentadeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 6 )or the (1Z,5Z)-configuration in a chain ending with an isopropyl group, like isoraspailyne Bl ( = 3-[((1Z,5Z)-12-methyltrideca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 7 ) and isoraspailyne B ( = 3-[((1Z,5Z)-13-methyltetradeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 8 ). Raspailynes of the second type have the (1Z,5E)-configuration, like isoraspailyne Bla ( =3-[((1Z,5E)-tetradeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 9 ) and isoraspailyne Ba ( = 3-[((1Z,5E)-13-methyltetradeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol; 10 ). Raspailynes of the third type have the (1E,5Z)-configuration, like isoraspailyne Blb ( = 3-[((1E,5Z)-tetradeca-1,5-dien-3-ynyl)oxy]-1,2,-propanediol; 11 ). The (S)-configuration for (+)- 1 ,((+)- 2 , and (?)- 4 is derived from chemical correlations.     

Determination of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol in biological samples by quick-easy-cheap-effective-rugged-and-safe extraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and its biodistribution in rats

3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol is a common food contaminant, but reports on its determination in biological tissues are lacking. In the present study, a method was developed to detect 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol contents in rat tissues by quick-easy-cheap-effective-rugged-and-safe extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Biological samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and purified with adsorbents. The optimized adsorbent for each sample was selected from 4–5 combinations of N-propylethylenediamine, octadecylsilane, graphitized carbon black, strong anion exchange, and florisil. Extracted 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol was derivatized with heptafluorobutyric anhydride and subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This method had good linearity (correlation coefficients >0.99) in the range of 2–2000 ng/g for blood, kidney, liver, testis, and brain samples. The limits of detection were under 0.8 ng/g; the limits of quantification were 2 ng/g; the recovery rates were 85%–102%; and the matrix effects were 1.98%–7.67%. This method also had good precision. The dynamic changes in 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol in rats gavaged with 20 mg/kg b.w. for 24 h were detected using this method. The 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol content in each tissue sharply increased to a peak, rapidly decreased within 2 h, and stabilized at 12 h. 3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol persisted in the kidney, testis, and liver 24 h after gavage.     

Kinetic Studies on the Urethane Reaction of Propanediol with Isocyanate in Nitrogenous Solvents

The urethane reactions of 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, and n-propanol with phenyl isocyanate were respectively carried out in nitrogenous solvents. In situ FT-IR was used to monitor the reactions, and rate constants were determined. It was shown that the reaction rate of 1,2-propanediol was fastest, followed by the reaction rates of 1,3-propanediol and n-propanol. After that, activation energy (E_a), activation enthalpy (ΔH), and activation entropy (ΔS) were calculated. It was found that these thermodynamic parameters for 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol are very similar, but they were very different from those of n-propanol, which is very useful to understand the urethane reaction mechanism.     

Synthesis of 2-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl)-5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-one and 3-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl)-5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one

The synthesis of two new acyclic nucleoside analogs, 2-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl)-5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-one (1) and 3-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl)-5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one (2), is reported. The first compound, 1, was obtained by reaction of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol with the sodium salt of 5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-one (3) in anhydrous dimethylformamide. Similarly, 5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one (4) reacted with 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol to give 2. The thiadiazole 4 was prepared by condensation-cyclization of hydrazothiodicarbonamide (9).

Excess molar volumes (V_m^EV_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}) were calculated. The values are negative for all mixtures over the whole composition range.     

Determination of the enantiomers of 3-tert.-butylamino-1,2-propanediol by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to evaporative light scattering detection

A method for the separation and quantitation of the enantiomers of 3-tert.-butylamino-1,2-propanediol by high-performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detection has been developed. Separation of the enantiomers was performed in normal-phase liquid chromatography on a Chiralpak AS chiral stationary phase. The influence of the gas nature, gas pressure and temperature of the drift tube of the evaporative light scattering detector on the detection sensitivity was investigated. The method was validated in terms of linearity, limit of quantitation, accuracy and precision. The enantiomeric excess of (S)-3-tert.-butylamino-1,2-propanediol, used for the industrial synthesis of (S)-timolol, was measured from 0 to 94%.     

Catalytic Synthesis of n-Butyraldehyde 1,2-propanediol Acetal over H4SiW12O40-PAn

A new environmentally friendly catalyst, H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀-polyaniline (PAn), was prepared, and n-butyraldehyde 1,2-propanediol acetal was synthesized from n-butyraldehyde and 1,2-propanediol in the presence of H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀-PAn. The influence factors of the synthesis were discussed, and the best reaction conditions were found: the molar ratio of n-butyraldehyde to 1,2-propanediol is 1:1.5, the amount of catalyst used is 1.2% of feed stock, and the reaction time is 1.0 h. H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀-PAn is an excellent catalyst for synthesizing n-butyraldehyde 1,2-propanediol acetal, and the yield can reach more than 95.2%. *Translated from Journal of Central China Normal University (Natural Sciences Edition), 2005, 39(9) (in Chinese), 2004, 28(4) (in Chinese)     

Synthesis and Perfume Characteristics of Acetals Containing an Aromatic Ring

Aromatic acetals were prepared by condensation of 2-methyl-3-(4-R-phenyl)propanals (R = Me, i-Pr, i-Bu) with ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, methyl Cellosolve, and Cellosolve. The perfume characteristics of the acetals were studied.     

Synthesis and properties of comb-shaped segmented poly(urethanes) based on 1,2-propanediol derivatives

Comb-shaped segmented poly(urethanes) have been synthesized from ethers via the one-step procedure with the use of glycerol monostearate, D,L-3-octadecyloxy-1,2-propanediol, 3-tert-butoxy-1,2-propanediol, 3-benzyloxy-1,2-propanediol, and 1,2-propanediol as chain extenders. The soft segment of poly(urethanes) was derived from macrodiol (poly(tetramethylene glycol) with M _n = 1000), and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and 4,4′-cyclohexylmethane diisocyanate were used as diisocyanates. The effect of the structure of side chains located at the hard segments on the formation of hydrogen bonds in comb-shaped poly(urethanes) has been studied by IR spectroscopy. On the basis of DSC measurements, the glass transition temperatures of the soft and hard segments and the temperature and enthalpy of melting of the crystalline phase have been estimated and the microphase separation of segments has been assessed. The mechanical characteristics of the polymers under study have been examined.     

Chiral ligand exchange micellar electrokinetic chromatography using borate anion as a central ion

Three compounds having 1,2-diol structure (1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol, 3-phenoxy-1,2-propanediol, and 3-benzyloxy-1,2-propanediol) were enantioseparated by ligand exchange MEKC using (5S)-pinanediol (SPD) as a chiral selector and borate anion as a central ion together with SDS. When (S)-1,2-propanediol, (S)-1,2,4-butanetriol, or (S)-3-tert-butylamino-1,2-propanediol were used as the chiral ligand instead of SPD, these three compounds were not enantioseparated. When borate was replaced with 2-aminoethane-1-sulfonate or N-cyclohexyl-3-aminopropanesulfonate, no chiral separation was achieved. Therefore, the hydrophobic interaction between the chiral selector and the chiral analytes within the transient diastereomeric complex may play an important role in the enantioseparation achieved by the proposed method.     

Volumetric Properties of N, N-Dimethylformamide with 1,2-Alkanediols at 20°C

Dilatometric measurements of excess molar volumes and excess partial molar volumes have been made for binary mixtures of N, N-dimethylformamide with 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2- pentanediol, and 1,2-hexanediol at 20°C over the entire composition range. The results are explained in terms of dissociation of the self-associated 1,2-alkanediol molecules and the formation of aggregates between unlike molecules through C = O ... 3H-O hydrogen bonding. Further, the effects of difference in chain lengths and steric factors on molecular interactions are also examined. From the experimental results, excess molar volumes were calculated and correlated by a Redlich–Kister type function in terms of mole fractions.

2,4-Disubstituted 1,3-dioxolanes were synthesized by reactions of benzaldehyde, its para-chloro derivatives, as well as 3-cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde with 3-(2-propenyloxy)-1,2-propanediol. Theproducts were brought into bromination, dichlorocarbene addition, and epoxidation reactions. It is found that when both components of the heterogeneous reaction of dioxolane ring formation have a double bond, the acid catalyst in strongly deactivated.

Determination of halogenated mono-alcohols and diols in water by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection

We have developed an analytical method for the detection of halogenated alcohols in water with particular focus on 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol and 3-bromo-1,2-propanediol. In this method the target analytes are extracted from water, derivatized with heptafluorobutyric anhydride, and then analyzed with gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. The effects of water, pH and seawater constituents on the method were investigated. Method detection limits for a 5 ml aqueous sample ranged from 0.14 microg l(-1) for 2-bromo-1,3-propanediol to 1.7 microg l(-1) for 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3DCP).     

Ketalizations of aryl ω-(2-imidazolyl)alkyl ketones by glycerol and 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol. synthesis and characterization of cis- and trans-{2-aryl-2-[ω-(2-imidazolyl)alkyl](1,3-dioxolan-4-yl and 1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)}methanols

Aryl 2-[(2-imidazolyl)ethyl or 3-(2-imidazolyl)propyl]ketones were ketalized by glycerol or 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol in boiling benzene in the presence of 4-toluenesulfonic acid to provide the title compounds. The aryl substituents are 4-chloro-, 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, or 2,4-dichlorophenyl. While aryl (2-imidazolyl)methyl ketones condensed with glycerol to form cis- and trans-{2-aryl-2-[(2-imidazolyl)methyl]-4-(hydroxymethyl)}-1,3-dioxolanes, related condensations with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol, under similar, or even more stringent reaction conditions, produced no 1,3-oxathiolane analogs, with the starting ketones being recovered. Separation and structure determination of these racemic cis and trans isomeric products are described. The structure of these stereoisomers was established by means of ¹H and ¹³C nmr correlation and nOe experiments. Selective methylation of the N-unsubstituted 2-imidazolyl alcohols with one equivalent sodium hydride and methyl iodide provided the corresponding N-methyl alcohols in excellent yields. With excess benzoyl chloride, N-unsubstituted 2-imidazolyl alcohols were initially converted to O, N-dibenzoates from which the N-benzoyl group was easily cleaved by ammonium hydroxide in ethanol to provide benzoate esters.
