Porphyrins. 9. New data on the polyformylation of metal complexes of etioporphyrin I

The structures of the products of the polyformylation of Cu, Ni, and Co complexes of etioporphyrin (EP) as monoformyl-, ,-diformyl-, ,-diformyl-, and ,,-triformyl-EP were established by electronic, IR, and PMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. -Formyl--(N-methylformaldimine)-EP and porphyrins that contain a cyclopentane ring can be formed by alkaline treatment of the Vilsmeier formylation products.See [1] for communication 8.See [2] for our preliminary communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 767–775, June, 1979.     

Methyl γ-phenylacetoacetate in the synthesis of derivatives of α-aminoindol-2-yl-acetic acid

The cyclization of the di(phenylhydrazone) of methyl -phenyl-,-dioxobutyrate with hydrazines has given phenylhydrazones of methyl indol-2-ylglyoxylates, which have been reduced to methyl -aminoindol-2-ylacetates. Some reactions of these compounds have been studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1040–1042, August, 1973.

Interactions of Nabumetone with Cyclodextrins in Solution and in the Solid State

The interactions of nabumetone (NAB) with -cyclodextrin (-CD) and-cyclodextrin (-CD) were studied in aqueous solution by meansof phase-solubility analysis. Solid dispersions of NAB with -cyclodextrin(-CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), methyl- (M-CD),hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (HP-CD) were prepared by coevaporationand kneading and also by coprecipitation in the case of -CD. X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the possibility of complexation of the drug with the different cyclodextrins. Solid dispersions of nabumetone with -CD showed a remarkable improvement in the dissolution rate of nabumetone.     

LLX separation of carrier-free,94,95,97,103Ru,93,94,95,96,99mTc and95,96Nb produced in alpha-particle activated molybdenum by TOA

A radiochemical charged particle activation procedure for the simultaneous production of carrier-free radioisotopes of more than one element in a single target and their subsequent separation through LLX has been demonstrated. The carrier free isotopes,^95,96Nb,^{93,94,95,96,99m}Tc and^94,95,97,103Ru formed through Mo(,pxn), Mo(,pxn) and Mo(,xn) nuclear reactions with 40 MeV -particle as detected by nondestructive -ray spectroscopy, have been effectively separated through LLX using TOA as an anionic extractant. Separation of the bulk matrix of molybdenum from the carrier free products has been monitored radiometrically using isotopic^93,99mMo formed through the Mo(,xn) reaction, as radioindicators for the target element. Purity of the separated carrier free radionuclide has been verified by -ray spectrometry.

The reaction of the 2-, 3-, and 4-methoxy derivatives of 9-chloro-6-nitroacridine with-diethylamino--methylbutylamine and with-diethylamino--hydroxypropylainine in phenol has given the 2-, 3-, and 4-methoxy derivatives of 9-(-diethylamino--methylbutylamino)-6-nitroacridine and of 9-(-diethylamino--hydroxypropylamino)6-nitroacridine, respectively.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.     

Ferrocenasymmetrie, 4. Mitt.: Die Absolutkonfiguration von (β- und γ-Phenyl-α-ketotetramethylen)-ferrocen

Zusammenfassung Ringschluß von -bzw. -Phenyl--ferrocenyl-buttersäure liefert die homoannular überbrückten Ketone (- bzw. -Phenyl--ketotetramethylen)-ferrocen (VI, VII, XIV). Die Ermittlung der Absolutkonfiguration dieser Ketone gelang durch Korrelation des Asymmetriezentrums der optisch aktiven -Phenyl--ferrocenyl-buttersäure (deren Absolutkonfiguration primär bestimmt wurde) mit der Konfiguration des planar asymmetrischen Anteils in den optisch aktiven Ketonen.Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse waren auch mit der früher für (+)-1,2-(-Ketotetramethylen)-ferrocen (I) auf unabhängigem Weg ermittelten Konfiguration in Einklang, wie durch Messung des optischen Circulardichroismus erwiesen werden konnte: die rechtsdrehenden Enantiomeren besitzen die (R), die linksdrehenden (S)-Konfiguration.

Ring closure of - and -phenyl--ferrocenylbutyric acid yielded the corresponding homoannularily bridged ketones, (- and -phenyl--ketotetramethylene)-ferrocene (VI, VII, XIV), respectively. The absolute configuration of these ketones could be established by correlation of the asymmetric center of the optically active -phenyl--ferrocenylbutyric acid (whose absolute configuration was determined previously) with the configuration of the planar asymmetric part in the optically active ketones.The results obtained support the configuration reported earlier for (+)-1,2-(-ketotetramethylene)-ferrocene (I) and established by an independent route. The configurations could also be supported by use of optical circular dichroism, i. e., the dextrorotatory enantiomers have the (R)-configuration, the laevorotatory the (S)-configuration.

Geometry of α-cyclodextrin inclusion complex with m-nitrophenol deduced from quantum chemical analysis of carbon-13 chemical shifts

The host-guest orientation and the position of the guest m-nitrophenol (MNP) in the -cyclodextrin (-CD)-MNP inclusion-complexation induced carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts of MNP with those predicted by quantum chemical calculation. In the calculation, the non-polar environmental effect produced by the -CD cavity on the carbon-13 shifts of included guest molecule has been formulated by the so-called NMR solvent effect theory. Here, carbon-13 shift displacements are assumed to be induced by transference of the guest from polar aqueous phase with higher dielectric constant to the non-polar -CD cavity with lower dielectric constant. Among a variety of host-guest orientation investigated, only the geometry in which the nitrophenyl group is located in the -CD cavity and the hydroxyl groups is exposed to the aqueous phase can reproduce qualitatively the observed carbon-13 shift displacements of MNP. This geometry is consistent with that in the solid state determined by the X-ray method.

Steroid compounds of marine sponges. VII. Preparation of derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol sulfates and structure-activity interrelationships among these compounds

Five new sulfated derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol have been obtained: 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate); 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate) 23-palmitate; 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 3-(sodium sulfate); 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 6-(sodium sulfate); and 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 2,6-di(sodium sulfate). The inhibiting and membranolytic properties of the polysulfated steroids from sponges and their derivatives have been studied. It has been shown that physiological activity in this series of compounds depends on biphilicity.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Synthesis of α, α, ω-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl chlorophosphates by the reaction between α,α,ω-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl phosphites and sulfuryl chloride

Conclusions An efficient method for the synthesis of ,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl chlorophosphates is by reacting ,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl dichlorophosphites and bis-(,,-trihydropolyfluoroalkyl) phosphites with sulfuryl chloride. It has been found that in three-coordinated polyfluoroalkyl phosphites, the high electronegativity of the polyfluoroalkyl groups hinders cleavage of the latter on reaction with sulfuryl chloride, thereby facilitating the formation of oxidation products.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 146–149, January, 1988.     

The predictive accuracy for estimating infinite dilution activity coefficients by γ∞-based UNIFAC

The predictive accuracy for estimating infinite dilution activity coefficients by a modification of the UNIFAC method wherein the group interaction parameters were based on only data (referred to as -based UNIFAC) has been studied. Estimates and measured values were compared for six prototypical solutes in a series of homologous n-alkanes, l-alcohols and alkanenitrile solvents. Despite the fact that the interaction parameters were derived using only data, this approach still gave serious errors due to several inherent problems in the original UNIFAC model. Its performance is sometimes even poorer than that of the original UNIFAC method. For example for nitromethane in alcohols and p-dioxane in nitriles values predicted by the -based UNIFAC are essentially zero. The large errors for these systems are most likely due to inaccurate interaction parameters in the -based UNIFAC method.

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.     

A New Gamma-Ray Spectrum Catalog for PGAA

A major obstacle to the use of the prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) method has so far been the lack of a suitable library. Therefore, new measurements have been performed at the PGAA facility at Budapest Research Reactor (BRR) in order to create a prompt -ray catalog for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Prompt -ray energies and associated k ₀-factors have been determined by internal standardization. The resulting catalog contains prompt -ray data from neutron capture and other reactions such as (n,), and decay -ray data from short-lived reaction products. Data have been measured for nearly all stable elements, from hydrogen to uranium. Generally, data for several isotopes are given, to enable isotopic analysis as well.
