Synthesis of N-Substituted Maleimides as Potential Antineoplastic Sulfhydryl Agents

For a purpose of antineoplastic screening, a series of sulfhydryl-binding agents, N-substituted maleimides was prepared. These compounds were obtained by dehydration of the corresponding maleamic acids under suitable conditions in which the formation of maleisoimide by-products was prevented, IR and UV spectra, as well as the elemental analyses confirmed the structural assignment of our products, A brief discussion on the preparation of N-(2,4-dinitrophenylamino)maleimide was also given.     

Circular dichroism of N-2,4-dinitrophenyl derivatives of chiral 1-alkyl-2-propynylamines and 1-alkyl-2-propenylamines

The sign of the Cotton effects near 320 and 400 nm in the CD spectra of the N-2,4-dinitrophenyl derivatives of chiral 1-alkyl-2-propynylamines and 1-alkyl-2-propenylamines correlates with their absolute configurations. The Cotton effects are generated by the coupled oscillator methanism and their sign is the same as the chirality (right-handed screw for positive chirality) of the interaction of the dominant oscillators of the 2,4-dinitrophenylamino chromophore with that of the amine moiety, the chirality of the interaction being deduced by conformational analysis.     

逆流溶质出峰顺序的预测

 根据逆流保留方程可知,溶质的出峰顺序主要取决于其在互不混溶的两液相间分配系数的大小顺序。以饱和及不饱和脂肪酸乙酯、2,4 二硝基苯胺基脂肪醇和对硝基苯基葡萄糖甙等结构较为简单、极性差别较大的溶质系列为研究对象,应用修正的通用基团活度系数(UNIFAC)(Dortmund)模型,通过相平衡计算,预测了它们在含水或不含水的溶剂体系中分配系数的变化趋势,并与前人的工作进行了对比。结果表明,由该方法预测出的相似结构溶质分配系数的顺序基本上与实验值相同,其中对饱和脂肪酸乙酯在己烷 乙腈(体积比为1∶1)体系中分配系数的预测最好。     

Method development for the determination of anthocyanins in red wines by high-performance liquid chromatography and classification of German red wines by means of multivariate statistical methods

A novel, positively charged, copolymer of allylamine and 2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyl-beta-cyclodextrin was synthesized to be used as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis. In the copolymer, cyclodextrin molecules are spaced from the backbone though a spacer arm which prevents sterical hindrance of the CD cavity. The self-mobility of the CD polymer in its charged form, opposite to the analytes, is the cause for the enhanced separation factor provided by this selector. Moreover, the positive charged polymer induces a reversal of electroosmotic flow which is beneficial in enantioseparations of acidic compounds as it reduces analysis time and increases peak efficiency. The ability of this copolymer to act as a CE chiral selector in the separation of 2,4-dinitrophenylamino acid enantiomers was investigated in coated and uncoated capillaries and its performance was much better then that of native beta-cyclodextrin.     

Reaction of 3,4,6-trioxoalkanoic acid esters with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine

Synthesis of 4-[Alkylsulfanyl(sulfonyl)methyl]isoxazoles and -1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazoles from 3-[(Alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- pentane-2,4-diones

New 4-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- and 4-[(alkanesulfonyl)methyl]isoxazoles and -1H-pyrazoles were synthesized by reactions of 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- and 3-[(alkanesulfonyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with hydroxylamine and hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, semicarbazide, or thiosemicarbazide, respectively. The heterocyclization of 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with thiosemicarbazide and semicarbazide hydrochloride was accompanied by elimination of amide or thioamide group. 3-[(Alkanesulfonyl)methyl]pentane- 2,4-diones were found to exist in solution as enol tautomers; they were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid.     

Dibenzyl Structuresin a Macromolecular Chain. III. Dibenzyldiisocyanates Reactivity

The reactivity of the 2,2′-, 2,4′-, 4,4′-dibenzyldiisocyanate (2,2′-, 2,4′-, 4,4′-DBDI) with n-butanol in benzene has been studied. The concentrations of all species were monitored by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reactivity of 4,4′-DBDI is similar to that of 4,4′-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (4,4′-MDI). Very strong intramolecular catalytic effects were noticed in the case of 2,2′-DBDI, probably due to the variable molecular geometry. These effects are responsible for the whole reaction pattern. The 2,4′-DBDI NCO ortho and para groups reactivities are different and comparable to that of 2,4-toluylenediisocyanate (2,4-TDI).     

Synthesis of 1,3-dialkylpyrazolo [1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones isomers of 1,3-dialkylxanthines

The synthesis of a new series of alkylxanthine analogs containing a bridgehead nitrogen atom is reported. 1,3-Dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones, were prepared by the treatment of 3-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione (3) with the corresponding alkyl iodide. Similarly, the reaction of 3-methyl-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-dialkyl-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones. The starting materials, 3 and 17 , were prepared via the reaction of an appropriate 3-aminopyrazole with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate. Several 8-bromo derivatives were prepared by direct bromination of the 1,3-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones.     

Synthesis and reactivity of 5-and 6-hydroxy-benzo[b]furan-2-selenolates

Treatment of 2,4-and 2,5-diacetoxyacetophenone semicarbazones with selenium dioxide gave 4-(2,4-and 2,5-diacetoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles which were readily deacylated by the action of hydrochloric acid. 4-(2,4-and 2,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles thus obtained underwent decomposition in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetonitrile with formation of 5-and 6-hydroxybenzo[b]furan-2-selenolates which were subjected to alkylation.     

Synthesis and configuration of diastereomeric 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids and their dimethyl esters

The reduction in an acidic medium over a platinum catalysts of 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2.6-pyridinedicarboxylic acids gave cis-2,4-, -2,5-, and -2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids, heating of which in an alkaline medium led to thermodynamically equilibrium mixtures of diastereomers. Individual trans-2,5-piperidinecarboxylic acid was isolated. The configurations of the 2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-piperidinedicarboxylic acids and their methyl esters were established by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 367–371, March, 1985.

Synthesis of 3,3′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis-pyrimidine derivatives and 3,4-dithia[6.6](1.3)pyrimidinophane

Several 3,3′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis[6-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione] derivatives ( 4a, 4b , and 4c ) were synthesized from 1,6-(hexanediyl)bis[6-methyl-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione] (3) . Compound 4c was converted to 6, which reacted with thiourea giving thiuronium salt 7 . 3,3′-(1,6-Hexanediyl)bis [1-(2-mercaptoethyl)-6-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione] (9) was obtained by the hydrolysis of 7 , and then 9 was oxidized to 12,22-dimethyl-3,4-dithia[6.6] (1.3)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrimidinophane (10) .

Brominated trimetrexate analogues as inhibitors of pneumocystis carinii and toxoplasma gondii dihydrofolate reductase

Five previously undescribed trimetrexate analogues with bulky 2′-bromo substitution on the phenyl ring were synthesized in order to assess the effect of this structure modification on dihydrofolate reductase inhibition. Condensation of 2-[2-(2-bromo-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,l-dicyanopropene with sulfur in the presence of N,N-diethylamine afforded 2-amino-5-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-4-methyl-thiophene-3-carbonitrile ( 15 ) and 2-amino-4-[2-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]thiophene-3-car-bonitrile ( 16 ). Further reaction with chloroformamidine hydrochloride converted 15 and 16 into 2,4-diamino-5-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-4-methylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 8a ) and 2,4-diamino-4-[2-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)ethylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 12 ) respectively. Other analogues, obtained by reductive coupling of the appropriate 2,4-diaminoquinazoline-6(or 5)-carbonitriles with 2-bromo-3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline, were 2,4-diamino-6-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyanilinomethyl)-5-chloro-quinazoline ( 9a ), 2,4-diamino-5-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyanilinomethyl)quinazoline ( 10 ), and 2,4-diamino-6-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyanilinomethyl)quinazoline ( 11 ). Enzyme inhibition assays revealed that space-filling 2′-bromo substitution in this limited series of dicyclic 2,4-diaminopyrimidines with a 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl side chain and a CH₂, CH₂CH₂, or CH₂NH bridge failed to improve species selectivity against either P. carinii or T. gondii dihydrofolate reductase relative to rat liver dihydrofolate reductase.

3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, while analogous reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates resulted in the formation of 4-aryldiazeno-3-pentafluorophenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-5,6-diones or 6-aryl-7,8,9,10-tetrafluoro-2-phenyl-2,4a,6,10b-tetradropyridazo[4,3-c]cinnoline-3,4-diones, depending on the conditions. Cyclocondensation of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoates with ethylenediamine led to 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]-5,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones, and 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]benzoxazin-2-ones were formed in the condensation with o-aminophenol. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted heterocycles were found to undergo intramolecular ring closure to give 3-hetaryl-substituted 1-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-4-ones. The reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates with o-aminobenzenethiol gave 3-[7-(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-5,6,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-3-yl]benzothiazin-2-ones; 8a-hydroxy-11,12,13,14-tetrafluoro-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8a,10-octahydropyrazino[1′,2′:4,5][1,4]diazepino[6,7-c]cinnolin-8-one was isolated in the condensation of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine.     

Picryl derivatives of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one

Treatment of 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 1 ) with picryl fluoride (PkF) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) gave a mixture of a monopicryl and a dipicryl derivative of 1 in a ratio of 2 :1 , respectively, regardless of the initial concentrations of 1 and PkF. The products were identified as 5-nitro-2-picryl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 2 ) by X-ray crystallography and 5-nitro-2,4-dipicryl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 4 ) by ¹⁵N labeling experiments.     

Pteridines. Part XLII. Synthesis and properties of 8-substituted 2,4-dithiolumazines

Condensation reactions of the 5-amino-6-(subst. amino)-2,4-dithiouracils 12 and 13 with diacetyl or benzil led to the 6,7,8-trisubstituted 2,4-dithiolumazines 14 – 16 . Methylation of these compounds affected both thio functions forming various types of 2,4-bis(methylthio)lumazine derivatives depending on the nature of the substituents at C(7) and N(8). The 6,7,8-trimethyl-2,4-dithiolumazine ( 14 ) was converted into 7,8-dihydro-6,8-dimethyl–7-methylidene-2,4-bis(methylthio)pteridine ( 17 ), whereas the 8-methyl-6,7-diphenyl-(15) and the 8-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6,7-diphenyl-2,4-dithiolumazine ( 16 ) yielded the corresponding covalent inter- or intramolecular 7,8-adducts 18 – 21 . The unusual structures were proven by spectroscopic means and those of the alcohol adducts 20 and 21 , furthermore, confirmed by X-ray analysis.
