Insect pheromones : Synthesis of chiral sex pheromone components of several species of trogoderma (coleoptera: dermestidae)

The (S)-enantiomers of (Z)- and (E)-14-methyl-8-hexadecen-1-ol, 1 and 4, respectively, and of (Z)- and (E)-14-methyl-8-hexadecenal, 6 and 7, respectively, which are sex pheromone components of dermestid beetles, have been synthesized in high optical purity starting from optically pure (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol. The preparation of 1 has been carried out using a new general method for reducing stereoselectively and in high yield ω-alkynols to the corresponding (E)-alkenols. The rotatory power of optically pure 1, 4, 6 and 7 has been established.

Synthesis of the enantiomers of 1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 4-hydroxy-1,7-dioxaspirol[5.5]undecane and 3-hydroxy-1,7-dioxaspiroi[5.5]undecane : The components of the olive fruit fly pheromone

All of the enantiomers of the title compounds, the components of the pheromone of the olive fruit fly ($\text{Dacus}$$\text{oleae}$ Gmelin), were synthesized from ($\text{S}$)-malic acid.     

Synthesis and characterization of the two enantiomers of a chiral sigma-1 receptor radioligand: (S)-(+)- and (R)-(-)-[18F]FBFP

Racemic [¹⁸F]FBFP ([¹⁸F]1) proved to be a potent σ₁ receptor radiotracer with superior imaging properties. The pure enantiomers of unlabeled compounds (S)- and (R)-1 and the corresponding iodonium ylide precursors were synthesized and characterized. The two enantiomers (S)-1 and (R)-1 exhibited comparable high affinity for σ₁ receptors and selectivity over σ₂ receptors. The Ca²⁺ fluorescence assay indicated that (R)-1 behaved as an antagonist and (S)-1 as an agonist for σ₁ receptors. The ¹⁸F-labeled enantiomers (S)- and (R)-[¹⁸F]1 were obtained in >99% enantiomeric purity from the corresponding enantiopure iodonium ylide precursors with radiochemical yield of 24.4% ± 2.6% and molar activity of 86–214 GBq/µmol. In ICR mice both (S)- and (R)-[¹⁸F]1 displayed comparable high brain uptake, brain-to-blood ratio, in vivo stability and binding specificity in the brain and peripheral organs. In micro-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies in rats, (S)-[¹⁸F]1 exhibited faster clearance from the brain than (R)-[¹⁸F]1, indicating different brain kinetics of the two enantiomers. Both (S)- and (R)-[¹⁸F]1 warrant further evaluation in primates to translate a single enantiomer with more suitable kinetics for imaging the σ₁ receptors in humans.     

Synthesis of 2(r)-[3(s)-acylamino-2-oxo-1 azetidinyloxy]-acetic acids

The title compounds when constructed from a-aminoxyacetic esters coupled with N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-serine in the presence of N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy L-2-(benzyloxyformamido)-3-hydroxypropionamidooxy acetates. Alternative coupling with N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-serine 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-l,2,3-benzotriazin triphenyl phosphine and dimethyl azodicarboxylate gave the fully protected monocyclic β-lactams. In the phenylacetic acid series hydrogenolytic deprotection led to decomposition. However, in the phenylpropionic series the hydrogenolysis product was sufficiently stable to allow acylation by the thiol ester route to the title compound.     

Coleopteran pheromones. Communication 10. Synthesis of the chiral pheromone of the eleven-spotted leaf beetle (coleoptera: Chrysamelidae)

Conclusions The synthesis of (R)-10-methyl-2-tridecanone from the chiral (S)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene was accomplished with the total yield of 24–26% in the 13–14 stages of the synthesis.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2083–2085, September, 1987.It corresponds to Communication 5 in the series Terpenes in Organic Synthesis. For the preceding Communication 9, cf. [1].     

Synthesis of [2-(methoxyaryl)-1-methylethyl]phosphinic acids from red phosphorus and (allyl)(methoxy)benzenes

(Allyl)(methoxy)benzenes react with red phosphorus in the superbasic system KOH-DMSO in the presence of small amounts of water and hydroquinone (3 h, 130 °C) to regio- and chemoselectively give [2-(methoxyaryl)-1-methylethyl]phosphinic acids in preparative yields up to 52%. The reactions involve isomerization of allylbenzenes into (prop-1-enyl)benzenes.     

Synthesis of [2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]uracil and [2-(allyloxy)ethyl]uracil

A synthesis is reported for N¹-mono- and N¹,N³-disubstituted uracil derivatives containing a terminal carbon-carbon double bond in the side-chain. Alkylation of vinyl 2-chloroethyl ether by uracil potassium salts leads to a mixture of 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] and 1,3-di[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] derivatives while treatment of 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)pyrimidines by vinyl 2-chloroethyl ether leads exclusively to N¹-monosubstituted products. Alkylation of cytosine by this chloroether gave 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]cytosine. The synthesis of 1-[2-(allyloxy)ethyl]uracil derivatives was carried out by treatment of uracil potassium salts by 1-(allyloxy)-2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethane.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 393–397, March, 1993.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(II)(L)(py)_3]·(py)

1 INTRODUCTION Schiff bases and their metal complexes are useful reagents in organic synthesis[1], and they have exhi- bited some biological activities as anticancer and antitumor drugs[2]. The crystal structures and physi- cal and chemical properties of many Schiff bases and their transition metals complexes have been re- ported[3~5]. Further interest in the coordination che- mistry of nickel(II) arises from the role of these complexes in several catalytic reactions, such as electrocat…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complex [Zn（DBSHSH）（py）2]

Rao has reported some novel lanthanoid complexes of salicylaldehydrazone. Va- rious polyhedral geometries such as distorted octa- hedron, pentagonal bipyramid and distorted square antiprism were tentatively proposed for the com- plexes used as excellent semi-conducting materials[2]. Tang has studied spectrofluorimetric determination of hydrogen perox…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cis-1,10phenanthroline-palladium(Ⅱ)(THF)_2]dinitrate (THF = Tetrahydrofuran)

1 INTRODUCTION The coordination chemistry of Pd(Ⅱ) com- plexes with didentate nitrogen coordination ligands has been extensively studied for a few decades[1]. Pd(Ⅱ) trends to bond to the didentate nitrogen in cis-mode and such complexes have potential usage in the emerging area of self-assembly[2]. We will report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of a cis-coordinated mononuclear Pd(Ⅱ) complex with one 1,10-phenanthroline and two THF as ligands, 1. 2 EXPERIMENTAL 2. …     

Synthesis of (2s, 3r, 7rs)-stegobinone [2,3-dihydro-2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(1-methyl-2- oxobutyl)-4h-pyran-4-one] and its (2r, 3s, 7rs)-isomer : The pheromone of the drugstore beetle

Reaction of acetaldehyde with the trianion of 4,6-dimethylnonane-3,5,7-trione followed by acidification yielded a stereoisomeric mixture of stegobinone, the pheromone of Stegobium paniceum L. Acylation of the dianion derived from 4-methylheptane-3,5-dione with a mixed anhydride prepared from (2R, 3S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acid or its enantiomer led to (2S,3R,7RS)- or (2R, 3S, 7RS)-stegobinone. The natural pheromone possesses (2S,3R)-stereochemistry.

Synthesis and antiestrogenic activity of the compounds related to the metabolites of (E)-4-[1-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]- 2-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1-butenyl]phenyl monophosphate (TAT-59) [corrected

The metabolites of (E) [corrected]-4-[1-[4-[2-dimethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]- 2-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1-butenyl]phenyl monophosphate, TAT-59, (1), a potent antitumor agent for hormone-dependent tumors, and derivatives of TAT-59 were synthesized to confirm its proposed structure. The structure and the Z-configuration of the metabolites (2a-8a) were confirmed by comparison with synthesized authentic compounds. All of the metabolites and the derivatives of TAT-59 were tested for a binding affinity toward estrogenic receptors in vitro and antiuterotrophic activity in vivo. Most of the metabolites possessed remarkable binding affinity toward estrogenic receptors as well as fairly good antiuterotrophic activity.
