New thiopyran-4-spiro-2′-(1,3-dithiolane):Formation mechanism and crystal structure

Ethylene trithiocarbonate reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to furnish tetramethyl thiopyran-4-spiro-2'-(1,3- dithiolane)-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylate,a new thiopyran-4-spiro-2'-(1,3-dithiolane) heterocyclic compound,as the minor product together with the major product dimethyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate.The new heterocycle was probably formed through a[2 + 2]cycloaddition between ethylene trithiocarbonate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or[...     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 4-methoxyphenyl 4'- n -alkoxy-2',3',5',6'-tetrafluorobiphenyl-1-carboxylates

A novel type of 4-methoxyphenyl 4'- n -alkoxy-2',3',5',6'-tetrafluorobiphenyl-1-carboxylates have been synthesized. Textural observations by polarizing microscopy and DSC measurements of the phase transitions show that all of these compounds are thermotropic liquid crystals with only a nematic mesophase. The relationship between the properties and chemical structures of these compounds is discussed.     

Synthesis of Conformationally Locked Isonucleosides: 2'-Deoxy-2'-nucleobase-5'- deoxy-1', 4' : 3' , 6'-dianhydro-D-mannitol

IntroductionA novel class of nucleoside analogues, termed conformationa1ly locked nucleosides, hasattracted much attention owing to their conformationally restricted structures and their potentbiological activities. Griseolutic acids(I ), a family of naturally occurring bicyclic nucleosides,were isolated from StrePtomyces grisroaurantiacus and showed the inhibitory activities againstc--AMP phosphodiesterase and were able to induce the differentiation of murine neuroblas-tomaLl3. A large num…     

Synthesis of Conformationally Locked 2＇-Deoxy-2＇-nucleobase-5＇- Isonucleosides: 2＇-Deoxy-2＇-nucleobase-5＇ deoxy-1＇, 4＇ :3＇, 6＇-dianhydro-D-mannitol

Novel bicyclic isonucleosides, 2＇ -deoxy- 2＇ -nucleobase- 5＇ -deoxy- 1＇ , 4＇ : 3＇ , 6＇ -dianhydro D-mannitol 10a-10c, were synthesized from D-glucose. The computer-assisted molecular simu lation indicated that the sugar conformations of compounds 10a-10c were restricted to N-con formation.     

Chemical and structural implications of 1',2'- versus 2',4'- conformational constraints in the sugar moiety of modified thymine nucleosides

In order to understand how the chemical nature of the conformational constraint of the sugar moiety in ON/RNA(DNA) dictates the duplex structure and reactivity, we have determined molecular structures and dynamics of the conformationally constrained 1',2'-azetidine- and 1',2'-oxetane-fused thymidines, as well as their 2',4'-fused thymine (T) counterparts such as LNA-T, 2'-amino LNA-T, ENA-T, and aza-ENA-T by NMR, ab initio (HF/6-31G** and B3LYP/6-31++G**), and molecular dynamics simulations (2 ns in the explicit aqueous medium). It has been found that, depending upon whether the modification leads to a bicyclic 1',2'-fused or a tricyclic 2',4'-fused system, they fall into two distinct categories characterized by their respective internal dynamics of the glycosidic and the backbone torsions as well as by characteristic North-East type sugar conformation (P = 37 degrees +/- 27 degrees , phi(m) = 25 degrees +/- 18 degrees ) of the 1',2'-fused systems, and (ii) pure North type (P = 19 degrees +/- 8 degrees , phi(m) = 48 degrees +/- 4 degrees ) for the 2',4'-fused nucleosides. Each group has different conformational hyperspace accessible, despite the overall similarity of the North-type conformational constraints imposed by the 1',2'- or 2',4'-linked modification. The comparison of pK(a)s of the 1-thyminyl aglycon as well as that of endocyclic sugar-nitrogen obtained by theoretical and experimental measurements showed that the nature of the sugar conformational constraints steer the physicochemical property (pK(a)) of the constituent 1-thyminyl moiety, which in turn can play a part in tuning the strength of hydrogen bonding in the basepairing.
