4-hydroxy-2-quinolones. 200*. Bromination of 1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyridinylmethylene hydrazides

The behavior of 1-R-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyridinylmethylene- hydrazides under bromination conditions using molecular bromine has been studied. It has been found that the 1-N-allyl derivative is characteristically halocyclized to the corresponding oxazolo[3,2-a]-quinoline, whereas the 1-N-hexyl-substituted acylhydrazone is unexpectedly brominated in the azomethine fragment.     

Molecular properties of the copolymers of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-diallyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimethylammonium chloride and maleic acid

The hydrodynamic and conformational properties of molecules of poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) and N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride-maleic acid copolymers of different compositions in solutions with various ionic-strength and pH values, as well as of the polyelectrolyte complex based on the copolymer with dodecyl sulfate anions in chloroform, are studied. For poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) molecules in a 1 M NaCl solution, the Kuhn segment length and the hydrodynamic diameter of the chain are estimated as A = 3.9 nm and d = 0.48 nm, respectively. In acidic solutions with pH 3.5, the copolymers demonstrate behavior typical for polyelectrolytes. In an alkaline solution with pH 13, when 1 M NaCl is added to the solution of the copolymer containing 29 mol % maleic acid units, there is an antipolyelectrolyte effect that manifests itself as an increase in the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer and in the hydrodynamic radius of its molecules. It is found that an increase in the fraction of maleic acid units in the copolymer from 12 to 42 mol % brings about a reduction in the equilibrium rigidity of its macromolecules from 4.1 to 2.2 nm. The equilibrium rigidity of polyelectrolyte-complex molecules is higher than that of initial copolymer molecules owing to steric interactions arising between the aliphatic chains of dodecyl sulfate anions. In an electric field, the molecules of the complex are oriented owing to the induced dipole moment resulting from the displacement of dodecyl sulfate anions along the chain contour.     

Synthesis of amino acid conjugates of glycyrrhizic acid using <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-hydroxyphthalimide and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

Synthesis of amino acid conjugates of glycyrrhizic acid with the use of N-hydroxyphthalimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and tert-butyl esters of L-amino acids (valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and methionine) was performed followed by deprotection with trifluoroacetic acid. The target amino acid conjugates were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel in 40–45% yield. The structure of the prepared compounds was confirmed by IR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.

Equilibrium Compositions of HF Solutions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Dimethylformamide

For HF solutions in DMF, concentration-dependent fractions of DMF molecules (α(DMF)) that remain unassociated and that enter heteroassociates (HAs) of 1 : 1, 4 : 1, and 12 : 1 molecular stoichiometries were obtained by two independent methods, namely, from an analysis of IR spectra and by calculating the material balance. The experimental way was shown to be enough exact in determining the ratio between the solvent molecules in four different states up to ~83 mol % HF. The equilibrium compositions of HF–DMF solutions were estimated over the entire range of concentrations. Starting with [HF] of ~25 mol %, more than one-half HF molecules are associated, and at [HF] of ~50–92 mol %, at least 90% of the HF molecules are associated. The equilibrium composition of HF–organic solvent (Solv) solutions in which HAs of 1 : 1, 1 : 4, and 1 : 12 molecular stoichiometries are formed, can be described by a single set of α(HF–Solv) versus concentration plots.

The possibility of the functionalization of the copolymer with drugs containing amino groups by polymer-analogous transformations was examined. Conditions were found for preparing conjugates of the copolymer with isoniazid. The structures and the quantitative compositions of the conjugates were determined by ¹³С NMR spectroscopy, and the possibility of preparing conjugates with controlled drug content was demonstrated.     

Reactions of ethyl 6,6-dialkyl-8,9-dioxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>]pyrrolo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]isoquinoline-10-carboxylates with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-nucleophiles

Reaction of enaminoesters, derivatives of 2,2-dialkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]isoquinoline, with oxalyl chloride leads to the formation of ethyl 6,6-dialkyl-8,9-dioxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[f]pyrrolo[2,1-a]-isoquinoline-10-carboxylates. At reaction of the latter with ammonia and cyclic amines opening of pyrroledione cycle occurs and the formation of enaminoketoamides, and the reaction with o-phenylenediamine furnishes a fragment of benzimidazole. Hydroxylamine behaves as binucleophile and attacks not only lactam, but also the ester group, affording heterocyclic system of isoxazine-3,4,6-trione.     

Pathways of decomposition of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-cyclopropyl <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> nitrosoureas in methanol

Decomposition of a series of N-cyclopropyl-N-nitrosoureas (CNU) in CD₃OD was studied. These decompose much more rapidly than N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, one of the decomposition pathways being denitrosation, which is atypical of alkylnitrosoureas under the reaction conditions used. The nature of substituents in the cyclopropane ring has a great effect on the stability of CNU and the product ratio. In the presence of H₂ SO₄, decomposition occurs much more rapidly. Possible pathways of the formation of the major decomposition products of CNU are proposed based on the experimental data.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

N-Metallation of bromoanilines with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by a reaction with trimethylchlorosilane provided N-mono and N-bis(trimethylsilyl)bromoanilines depending on the structure of substrate. The metallation of bissilylated bromoanilines with butyllithium permitted the introduction of a trimethylsilyl substituent in the aromatic ring. Previously unknown 2-bromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2,6-dibromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,6-dibromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilylaniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,4,6-tribromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, and 2,4,6-tribromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline were prepared. The structures of the compounds obtained were established by the chromato-mass spectrometry and ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy.
