Halogenation reactions in position 3 of quinoline-2,4-dione systems by electrophilic substitution and halogen exchange

Summary 3-Substituted 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolones3,5,7 are halogenated with bromine or sulfuryl chloride to yield the quinolinediones9 or10. Reaction of3,5,7 with chloroform gives the dichloromethyl quinolinediones11. Halogen exchange leads from the chloro quinolinediones10 to fluoro quinolinedones12 and to azido quinolinediones13. Similarly the dichloro quinolinedione10 an reacts to the difluoro quinolinedione14, which is reduced to the 3-fluoro-4-hydroxyquinolone16 and reacts again with sulfuryl chloride to give the mixed 3-chloro-3-fluoroquinolinedione15.Herrn Prof. Dr. Erich Ziegler in freundschaftlicher Verbundenheit zum 80.

Controlling the transmembrane transport of nucleosides

Nucleoside analogues are used as drugs. Due to their hydrophilicity, nucleosides are poorly permeable to membranes and transporter proteins are required for efficient uptake. One approach towards improving membrane permeability of nucleosides is to use synthetic transporters. We describe ways to control transport of nucleosides across a liquid membrane. Hexanoylguanosine 1 selectively extracts and transports cytidines across a CHCl₃ membrane. Transport catalysed by G 1 was influenced by the nucleoside's sugar, with a selectivity of dC 4 > rC 3 > araC 5. Selective transport could be modulated by adding compounds to the aqueous source phase or to the organic phase. Addition of K⁺2,6-DNP^–8 to CHCl₃ containing G 1 switched off transport of rC 3 and dC 4 due to formation of a G-quartet assembly. A lipophilic G 1·C 2 base pair could not transport dC 4, but did catalyse transport of dG 7 across the CHCl₃ barrier. We propose that transport occurs because of formation of a base triple G 1·C 2·dG 7. Addition of Na₂B₄O₇9 to a source phase containing rC 3, dC 4 and araC 5 shuts down transport of rC 3 by G 1, due to formation of borate esters. These results indicate that one can control the selective transport of nucleosides.

HIGHLY DEOXYGENATED SUGARS. I. C2-BRANCHED GLUCOSE DERIVATIVES AND CARBON LINKED DEOXYGENATED DISACCHARIDES *

Triacetylglucal (1) is converted with high α-selectivity (>9:1) to the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated allyl and benzyl glycosides 2 and 3 using ferric chloride as the catalyst. The 6-O-silyl-protected allylic alcohol 5 is transformed to the 3,4-unsaturated C2-branched ester 6 or the amide 7 by Claisen rearrangement.

Incorporation of lipid domains in Cerasome, a morphologically-stable organic-inorganic vesicular nanohybrid

To extend the concept of the Cerasome, an organic-inorganic vesicular nanohybrid, this paper investigates the preparation and characterization of a “mixed” Cerasome. The system consists of a Cerasome-forming lipid 1, a cationic synthetic lipid 2, and a zwitterionic phospholipid 3. Lipid mixtures of 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 were used to prepare the mixed Cerasomes. Their lipid distributions were examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which showed that 1 and 2 (or 1 and 3) were phase-separated in the mixed Cerasomes. These results seem to be mainly attributable to the polymerizable nature of 1. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) showed that 1 and 3 were both incorporated into a single Cerasome, not macroscopically separated to form separate vesicles from each lipid component. Mixed Cerasomes of 1 and 2 showed high morphological stability against a membrane-solubilizing surfactant, incorporating up to 70% of 2. On the other hand, the mixed Cerasomes from 1 and 3 were less stable than the mixed Cerasomes from 1 and 2. This relative instability might be attributable to differences between the mixed Cerasomes from 1 and 2 and 1 and 3 in terms of their vesicular sizes, lipid domain sizes, and their relative effectiveness for siloxane network formation. These results strongly support the formation of mixed Cerasomes that have lipid domains in-plane. Systems described in this study are useful to prepare variously mixed Cerasomes that have different surface functionalities and in-plane lipid distribution, but which have high morphological stability.     

Reaction of N-Nitro-benzotriazole with Nucleophiles

N-Nitro-benzotriazole 1 reacts with various C-nucleophiles 2 in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature to afford o-nitramidophenylazo-compounds 3a–f and o-nitramidophenyl hydrazones 3g–l, respectively. Reaction of 1 with sodium azide in aqueous acetonitrile gives a reactive 2-azidophenylnitramide intermediate 4 which is trapped by Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadition with phenyl acetylene to afford 1-o-nitramidophenyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole 5. Reaction of 1 with trimethylsilylcyanide affords 3-amino-benzo[e][1,2,4]triazine 6.     

Group-theoretical Foundations for the Concept of Mandalas as Diagrammatical Expressions for Characterizing Symmetries of Stereoisomers

Group-theoretical foundations for the concept of mandalas have been formulated algebraically and diagrammatically in order to reinforce the spread of the unit-subduced-cycle-index (USCI) approach (S. Fujita, Symmetry and Combinatorial Enumeration in Chemistry, Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg, 1991). Thus, after the introducton of right coset representations (RCR) (H\)G and left coset representations (LCR) G(/H) for the group G and its subgroup H, a regular body of G-symmetry is defined as a diagrammatical expression for a right regular representation (C ₁\)G, which is an extreme case of RCRs. The |G| substitution positions of the regular body as a reference are numbered in accord with the numbering of the elements of G and segmented into |G|/|H| of H-segments, which are governed by the RCR (H\)G. By regarding each H-segment as a substitution position, the H-segmented regular body is reduced into a reduced regular body, which can be regarded as a secondary skeleton for generating a molecule. The reference regular body (or H-segmented one) is operated by every symmetry operations of G to generate regular bodies (or H-segmented ones), which are placed on the vertices of a hypothetical regular body of G-symmetry. The resulting diagram (a nested regular body) is called a mandala (or a reduced mandala), which is a diagrammatical expression for specifying the G-symmetry of a molecule. The effect of a K-subduction on the regular bodies of a mandala (or a reduced mandala) results in the K-assemblage of the mandala (or the reduced mandala), where the resulting K-assemblies governed by the LCR G(/K) construct a |G|/|K|-membered orbit, which corresponds to a molecule of K-symmetry. The sphericity of the RCR (or the LCR) is used to characterize symmetrical properties of substitution positions and those of stereoisomers. The fixed-point vector for each mandala (or reduced mandala) in terms of row view and the number of fixed points of K-assembled mandalas (or K-assembled reduced mandalas) in terms of column view are compared to accomplish combinatorial enumeration of stereoisomers. The relationship between a mandala and a reordered multiplication table is discussed.     

Isomerisation Catalysee Par le Gel de Silice et L'argile Activee de N-Acyl-2,2-Dimethylaziridines: Approche Mecanistique

Silica gel and activated clay, behaving as Lewis acids, reacted with N-acyl-2,2-dimethylaziridines 1 to lead to pentacoordinated aziridinium silicate ions. The regiospecific ring opening on the CMe₂ carbon side of the intermediate I involves, after removal of the catalyst, the zwitterion II. The zwitterion II undergoes either a transfer of proton leading to the N-methallylamide 2 or intramolecular cyclization reaction leading to the oxazoline 3. The unstable oxazoline 3 on catalyst is hydrated in turn into amidoalcohol 4 via the oxazolinium silicate III.
