A novel hydrochloride quaternary ammonium salt (E)-4-(benzyloxy)-2-(cinnamo- yloxy)-N,N,N-trimethyl-4-oxobutan-1-aminium chloride (C23H29NO4Cl2, Mr = 454.37) has been synthesized via the sequence of acetylation and esterification by using L-carnitine (L-4-N-trimethy- lammonium-3-hydroxybutyric acid, LC) and cinnamic acid as the starting materials, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P212121 with a = 10.1670(4), b = 10.4488(4), c = 22.9795(11) ?, V = 2441.18(18) ?3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.236 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.293 mm?1, F(000) = 960, Flack factor = –0.01(11), the final R = 0.0489 and wR = 0.1550 for 3350 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)) and R = 0.0953 for all 5648 unique reflections. The crystal structure involves a conjugated system which shows a reverse olefin structure.     

Synthesen des Analgetikums 2-[1-(m-Methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]-N,N -dimethyl-äthylamin

Syntheses of the Analgesic 2-[1-(m-Methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl] -N,N-dimethyl-ethylamine Three principal routes to 2-[1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]- N,N-dimethyl-ethylamine (13) , a compound with interesting analgesic properties, are described. In the first, derivatives of [1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]acetic acid (10) (alternatively the ethyl ester 29 , the dimethylamide 32 or the nitrile 34 ) serve as crucial intermediates. All three can be synthesized from 2-(m-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone (1) by sequences comprising successively C-alkylation ( 1→2,4,5; Scheme 1), reduction of the ketone carbonyl group ( 2→6;4→18;5→19; Scheme 1 and 2) and elimination ( 16→29; 18→32; 19→34; Scheme 2). The relative configuration of the cyclohexanols 16, 18, 19 and of a series of related compounds is established by chemical correlation with the lactone 30 the structure of which follows from ¹H-NMR. data (Scheme 2). The second route creates the intermediates 29 and 32 by ester- or amide-enolate-Claisen-type-rearrangement reactions starting from 3-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-ol ( 39; Scheme 3). Compounds 29, 32 and 34 are transformed into the target molecule 13 by standard reactions. A Hofmann elimination of the quaternary ammonium fluoride 50 (X=F), derived from the known cis-perhydroindoline 48 , is the essential step in the third approach to 13 (Scheme 4).     

Novel stereoselective syntheses of (2E,4E)-4-(4,4-dimethylpent-2-ynylidene)-N1,N5-dimethyl-N1,N5-bis(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)pent-2-ene-1,5-diamine

We report two different synthetic approaches for the stereoselective synthesis of (2E,4E)-4-(4,4-dimethylpent-2-ynylidene)-N¹,N⁵-dimethyl-N¹,N⁵-bis(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)pent-2-ene-1,5-diamine 1, an important impurity-reference standard for the chemical characterization of terbinafine. The diamine 1 was obtained in only six steps with a good overall yield starting from commercially available glutaconic acid.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N3-（Dimethyl- pyrimidine）-N4-（tri-O-acetyl-xylosyl） Thiourea

The crystal structure of the title compound （C18H24N4O7S, Mr = 440.47） was prepared by the condensation of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl isothiocyanate with 4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-amine and structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monochnic system, space group P2 1 with a = 7.5500（17）, b = 10.498（2）, c = 14.208（3） A, β = 99.929（4）°, V = 1109.2（4） A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.319 g/cm^3,μ = 0.191, F（000） = 464, Flack = 0.00（15）, R = 0.0684 and wR = 0.1103. In the crystal structure, the xylose ring adopts a ^4C1 chair conformation. Due to the hydrogen bonding interaction between N（4）-H（4A） and N（1）, the pyrimidine ring is well positioned.     

N,1-(15)N2]-2'-deoxyadenosines

[reaction: see text] An efficient route to deoxyadenosine derivatives labeled on both the amino group and nitrogen 1 is uncovered. First, 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-1-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)inosine (2a) and only 1.1 equiv of (15)NH4Cl are used for labeling position 1 (1a) through the isolation of the open intermediate and its cyclization with DBU in anhydrous CH3CN. Inosine 1a is then converted to [N,1-(15)N2]-3',5'-di-O-acetyl-N6-benzoyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (5a, the precursor of 6a) via a Pd/dppf-catalyzed chloride-to-benzamide replacement, by using again only 1.1 equiv of the labeling source.     

Facile synthesis of 2-carboxanilido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones from N1-(2-carboxyphenyl)-N2-(aryl)oxalamides

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of novel 2-carboxanilido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones via the one-pot condensation of readily available N¹-(2-carboxyphenyl)-N²-(aryl)oxalamides with various aromatic amines is described. Notably, this methodology allows us to synthesize 3-aryl-quinazolin-4-ones using aromatic amines with various substituents, both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing, which ensures structural diversity of the products and an atomic-economic process.     

Synthesis and characterization of N(1)-(4-toluenesulfonyl)-N(1)- (9-anthracenemethyl)triamines

A modular synthetic approach was developed to access triamines with varying tether lengths from commercially available aminoalkanols. Initial N-alkylation via reductive amination with anthracene-9-carbaldehyde provided the secondary amines in good yield. Subsequent ditosylation with excess TsCl yielded the respective bis-N,O-tosylates. The tosylates were reacted with excess putrescine to give the final triamines. X-ray crystallography revealed that the polyamine tail is preferentially oriented over the shielding cone of the anthracene ring.
