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.

Bisindoles. 10. Synthesis of 1,2-(5,5′-diindolyl)ethane

A 2,2-diethoxycarbonyl derivative of a new bisindole system, viz., 1,2-(5,5-diindolyl)ethane, was obtained by cyclization of ethyl pyruvate sym-4,4-diphenyleneethanedihydrazone. 5-(-Phenylethyl)-2-ethoxycarbonylindole was also isolated in very low yield from the reaction products. Saponification of the 2,2-diethoxycarbonyl derivative gave the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, the thermal decarboxylation of which leads to the formation of 1,2-(5,5-diindolyl) ethane. The syn,syn and anti,anti forms of ethyl pyruvate sym-4,4-diphenyleneethane-dihydrazone were also obtained and characterized.See [1, 2] for Communications 8 and 9.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 348–351, March, 1982.     

A Simplified version of the Pariser-Parr-Pople treatment of π-electron systems

The semi-empirical configuration interaction treatment due to Pariser and Parr and to Pople has been modified by reducing the set of electronic interaction integrals to ₁₁ and ₁₂ and by limiting the number of configurations to 10. Hückel MOs are used as basis functions. The dependence of the resonance integral _v on the interatomic distance R _v is simulated by making _v a quadratic function of the Hückel bond orders P _v .

Zusammenfassung Eine Modifikation des semiempirischen CI-Verfahrens von Pariser, Parr und Pople wurde zur Behandlung von -Systemen herangezogen. Als Vereinfachung wurde der Grad der CI-Matrix auf zehn beschränkt und von den Elektronenwechselwirkungsintegralen nur ₁₁ und ₁₂ berücksichtigt. Hückel-MOs wurden als Basisfunktionen verwendet. Die Abhängigkeit des Resonanzintegrals _v vom interatomaren Abstand R _v wurde durch den Ansatz von _v als quadratische Funktion der Hückel-Bindungsordnung P _v angenähert.

La dépendance entre l'intégrale de résonance _v et la distance interatomique R _v est simulée en posant que _v est une fonction quadratique des ordres de liaisons P _v selon Hückel.

     

Chromium(III) and oxovanadium (IV) complexes of some urea derivatives

Summary The preparation of eight new complexes of Cr^III and VO^IV with urea derivatives is reported here. The ligands used were 2-imidazolidinone (ethyleneurea, EU),N,N'-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (N,N -dimethylethyleneurea, DMEU), 2-imidazolidinethione (ethylenethiourea, ETU), andN, N, N, N -tetramethyl-2-imidazolidone (tetramethylurea, TMU). The previously reported complex VOCl₂(TMU)₂ was also prepared. All nine complexes were investigated with regard to conductimetry as well as visible and i.r. spectroscopy. All carbonyl-containing complexes exhibit a metal-oxygen bond, whereas in ETU complexes a metal-nitrogen bond seems to be favoured.

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Synthese von 5-O-Aminosäurederivaten des Uridins als potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.
