Hydroacridines XXI [1]. 13C NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of the Stereoselectivities of Quaternizations of N-Alkyl Derivatives of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-Tetradecahydroacridine

Summary.  The stereoselectivities of the quaternization reactions of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine with methyl- and ethyl iodide as well as those of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine with methyl iodide were investigated using ¹³C NMR spectroscopy including ¹³C-labelling where appropriate. The methylations of both N-methyl amines occur by predominant (60% and 75%, respectively) equatorial approach, their ethylations occur sterospecifically by equatorial approach, and the methylations of the N-ethyl amines occur by highly stereoselective (> 90%) axial approach of the quaternizing reagent.

Mass-spectral Study of 9-[α(β,γ)-Picolylidene]-1(4)-azafluorenes

A mass-spectral study was carried out on the behavior of the Z- and E-isomers of 9-picolylideneazafluorenes. A possible mechanism for the elimination of a hydrogen atom from the M⁺ ion of the Z- and E-isomers of 1(4)-azafluorene derivatives was examined. Mass spectrometry permitted a distinction between compounds isomeric relative to the position of the nitrogen atom in the azafluorene fragments and also the Z- and E-isomers of picolylidene derivatives of 1- and 4-azafluorenes possessing - and -pyridyl substituents.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of 15α,20α-di(4-hydroxylphenyl)calix[4]pyrroles and 10α,20β-di(4-hydroxylphenyl)calix[4]pyrroles

In the presence of methanesulfonic acid as catalyst, the condensation reactions of 5,5′-dialkyldipyrromethanes with p-hydroxyacetophenone in methanol resulted in a mixture of the unexpected polysubstituted 15α,20α-di(4-hydroxylphenyl)calix[4]pyrroles and the expected 10α,20β-di(4-hydroxylphenyl)calix[4]pyrroles in comparable lower yields. The crystal structures of the new calix[4]pyrroles and their oxyacetate derivatives were successfully determined by X-ray diffraction and the intermolecular interactions in the solid state is briefly discussed.     

Possible conformations of the seven-membered rings and relative stabilities of 1β,5α,6β,7α(H)- and 1α,5α,6β,7α(H)-guai-11(13)-en-6,12-olides

A calculation has been made by the method of molecular mechanics, using the MM2 program, of a number of stereomeres of 1,5,6,7(H)- and 1,5,6,7(H)-guai-11(13)-en-6,12-olides. The possibilities of the adoption by the seven-membered ring of particular conformations according to the type of its linkage with the 5-membered carbocycle have been considered. Questions of the influence of the orientation of the Me groups on the degree of distortion of the conformation of the seven-membered ring from the ideal and the relative stabilities of the various conformers are discussed.A.

Crystal Structure and Conformation of [1-(β-D-lyxofuranosyl)uracil]- 2''''-spiro-5"-[4"-(S)-(diethoxyphosphinyl)-2"-oxazoline]

1 INTRODUCTION It is well known that natural and modified nucleosides have potential antiviral and anticancer activities[1,2]. These observations prompted us to synthesize the title compound －a new kind of spironucleoside, whose structure was determined by 1HNMR, 31PNMR and elemental analysis. The configuration was assigned by means of nuclear Overhauser effect. To further confirm the structure and configuration unambiguously, the title compound was subjected to X-ray diffractio…

Syntheses, structure, and a Mössbauer and magnetic study of Ba(4)Fe(2)I(5)S(4)

The compound Ba4Fe2I5S4 has been prepared at 1223-1123 K by the "U-assisted" reaction of FeS, BaS, S, and U with BaI2 as a flux. A more rational synthesis was also found; however, the presence of U appears to be essential for the formation of single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. Ba4Fe2I5S4 crystallizes in a new structure type with two formula units in space group I4/m of the tetragonal system. The structure consists of a Ba-I network penetrated by (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains. Each Fe atom, which is located on a site with 4 symmetry, is tetrahedrally coordinated to four S atoms. The FeS4 tetrahedra edge-share to form linear (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains in the [001] direction. The Fe-Fe interatomic distance in these chains is 2.5630(4) A, only about 3% longer than the shortest Fe-Fe distance in -Fe metal. Charge balance dictates that the average formal oxidation state of Fe in these chains is +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectra obtained at 85 and 270 K comprise a single quadrupole doublet that has hyperfine parameters consistent with an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectrum obtained at 4.2 K consists of a single magnetic sextet with a small hyperfine field of -15.5 T. This spectrum is also consistent with rapid electron delocalization and an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The molar magnetic susceptibility of Ba4Fe2I5S4, obtained between 3.4 and 300 K, qualitatively indicates the presence of weak pseudo-one-dimensional ferromagnetic exchange within a linear chain above 100 K and weak three-dimensional ordering between the chains at lower temperatures.

The (α-4) photoconjugates of 5-methylcytosine, 1,5-dimethylcytosine, 1-methylthymine and thymidine

The pyrimidine nucleobases contained in DNA undergo a variety of photoinduced reactions in which two moieties become joined to form a product (e.g. formation of cyclobutane dimers and [6-4] adducts). Herein, we describe a new type of photoconjugation reaction that has been shown to occur for 5-methylcytosine (5-MeC), 1,5-dimethylcytosine (1,5-diMeC), 1-methylthymine and thymidine; in this reaction the 5-methyl group of one nucleobase (or nucleoside) becomes attached to the 4-position of the second moiety. For example, 5-MeC forms α-4'-(5'-methylpyrimidin-2'-one)-5-methylcytosine. The various (α-4) conjugates are produced upon irradiation of the parent compound in frozen aqueous solution at -78.5°C. The UV spectra of these compounds display a characteristic "double humped" profile, similar to that expected from overlaying the spectrum of parent nucleobase with that of a 2'-pyrimidone moiety. Preliminary results suggest that thymine and 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5-MedCyd) form analogous photoproducts. A variety of other previously unreported photoproducts are described as well for the 5-MeC, 1,5-diMeC and 5-MedCyd systems.

Substituted 4(5H)-Oxazolones and Their Salts. 10. Synthesis of 2-[β-(Phenylamino)vinyl]-4(5H)-oxazolones from Their Salts and Z,E-Isomerization at the Double Bond

2-[-(Phenylamino)vinyl]-5-(1,1-dimethyl-2-acetoxyethyl)-4(5H)-oxazolonium perchlorate was synthesized. The deprotonation ability of this compound in chloroform by the action of sodium carbonate to give 4(5H)-oxazolone, containing enamine fragment at C₍₂₎ in the ring was studied. Z,E-Isomerization at the double bond was found at room temperature by the action of the solvents.     

Synthesis,characterization and epoxidation of hexakis-4-(2-(4-((β-methallyl)oxy)phenyl)propan-2-yl)phenoxycyclotriphosphazene

4-(2-(4-((β-Methallyl)oxy)phenyl)propan-2-yl)phenol was prepared via the reaction of methallyl chloride with bisphenol A and used for the synthesis of hexakis-4-(2-(4-((β-methallyl)oxy)phenyl)propan-2-yl)phenoxycyclotriphosphazene. It was revealed that the latter undergoes the Claisen rearrangement and can be also epoxidized by 3-chloroperbenzoic acid. The obtained epoxide was cured by a treatment with isophorone diamine. The decomposition and glass transition temperatures of cured resin were also estimated (275 and 130?°C, respectively) by DSC and TGA methods.
