Synthesis of novel D-seco-taxoids derived from 1-deoxybaccatin VI

New D-seco-taxoids were synthesized from 1-deoxybaccatin VI and their structures were confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, ESIMS and X-ray crystallography. The key step of the synthesis involved the opening of the oxetane ring under acid and basic conditions in order to obtain new multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agents and new synthetic precursors of paclitaxel analogues.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel A-seco-taxoids derived from 1-deoxybaccatin VI

Three novel nor-seco-taxoids 13, 15, 23 in which the A rings are cleaved but the B, C, and D rings are retained were prepared from 1-deoxybaccatin VI via its nor-dioxo derivative and their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and high resolution MS. Oxidative introduction of C-1 hydroxyl to 1-deoxybaccatin VI with oxidising agent KBrO₃ and catalyst RuCl₃ led to the dioxo derivative 6 and its structure is determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. A-seco taxoids 13, 15, 23 with a C-13 ester linkage were tested for cytotoxic activity and all compounds showed no measurable cytotoxic activity against HCT-116 cell line. However, 1-deoxy-9a-dihydrotaxane analogue 4 semi-synthesised from 1-deoxybaccatin VI is 10-fold less cytotoxic than paclitaxel, indicating the indispensible nature of the A ring double bond for the bioactivity of paclitaxel.     

Synthetic studies with 13-deoxybaccatin III

An efficient synthesis of 13-epi-7-O-(triethylsilyl)baccatin III from 13-deoxybaccatin III is described. Oxidation of 13-deoxy-7-O-(triethylsilyl)baccatin III with tert-butyl peroxide, followed by reduction with SmI(2), produced 13-epi-7-O-(triethylsilyl)baccatin III in good overall yield. The preparation of 13-oxo-7-O-(triethylsilyl)baccatin III from 13-epi-7-O-(triethylsilyl)baccatin III using tetrapropylammonium perruthenate and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide is also reported.     

1-Phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes

The approaches to synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes C₅H₁₀Si(Ph)X (X = F, Cl, Br) have been examined. 1-Phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane has been prepared via the known reaction of phenyltrichlorosilane with dimagnesium derivative of 1,5-dibromopentane; up to 20% of 1-bromo-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane admixture is formed along with the target product. The minor product formation has been prevented using an alternative method of chlorination of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane with N-chlorosuccinimide. 1-Phenyl-1-fluoro-1-silacyclohexane has been obtained in close to quantitative yield via the reaction of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with SbF₃ and in 70% yield via its reaction with HF. The synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-bromo-1-silacyclohexane via bromination of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with N-bromosuccinimide has given the target product as a minor one, the major product being disiloxane formed due to hydrolysis of the Si–Br bond.     

1-Chlor-1-phosphirane

The title compounds are prepared by reaction of disubstituted diazomethanes with 1-chloro-2-phenyl-2-trimethylsilyl-1-phosphaalkene. The chemistry of the 1-chloro-1-phosphiranes is described.

Synthesis and characterization of 1-methyl-1-silaindane and 1-methyl-1-germaindane

New synthetic routes to 1-methyl-1-silaindane (1b) and 1-methyl-1-germaindane (1b) were developed and the desired products were obtained in good isolated yield. Compounds 1a and 1b were fully characterized by mass spectroscopy, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR, and infrared spectroscopy.     

1-乙酰胺基丙叉-1,1-二膦酸和1-丙酰胺基乙叉-1,1-二膦酸与碱土金属离子的螯合作用

用pH电位法研究了1-乙酰胺基丙叉-1,1-二膦酸(S-186)和1-丙酰胺基乙叉-1,1-二膦酸(S-106)与碱土金属的螯合作用(30±O.1℃).当金属离子与配体的摩尔浓度比为10∶1、1∶1和1∶2时,在水溶液中形成了MHL、ML、ML_2和M_2L等几种类型的配合物.分别测定了它们的稳定常数,其中S-186配合物稍高于S-106,说明配合物稳定性与螯合剂的碱度有平行关系.值得注意的是,这两种螯合剂与Sr~(2 )形成的双核配合物的稳定性均较其它碱土金属离子的为高.     

The mechanism of thermal dehydrochlorination. Pyrolysis of 1-Chloro-1-fluoroethane and 1-chloro-1, 1-difluoroethane

The thermal decompositions of 1-chloro-1-fluoroethane and 1-chloro-1,1-difluorethane at atmospheric pressure have been studied in the temperature range 500–600°C in a flow system. The dehydrochlorinations are homogenous in a carbonaceous reactor and unimolecular. The rate constants are given by and The criteria for molecular or chain processes in thermal dehydrochlorinations are discussed.     

1, 1-Difluoro-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene

1, 1-Difluorocyclopropa[a]naphthalene ( 1b ) is prepared in three steps from 4-bromo-1,2-dihydronaphthalene ( 7 ) via carbene addition, benzylic bromination and bidehydrohalogenation. Structural evidence for formation of 1b is based on ¹H- and ¹⁹F-NMR spectroscopy. Compound 1b is stable in solution at ?30°. Upon reaction with MeOH/H⁺ it is converted to a 1:2 mixture of 1- and 2-methylnaphthoate ( 10 and 11 , respectively).     

1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene

High molecular weight, 1:1 alternating copolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile with styrene were prepared in tetramethylenesulfone solution by complexing the electron-poor bicyclobutane monomer with zinc chloride. Methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate under these conditions gave copolymers containing a slight excess of styrene units (ratio 1:1.3 to 1:1.8). High molecular weight homopolymers of 1-bicyclobutanecarbonitrile and of methyl 1-bicyclobutanecarboxylate were prepared similarly. The tendency of the bicyclobutane nitrile to form 1:1 alternating copolymers is as great as that of its vinyl analog, acrylonitrile, and the synthesis of other alternating copolymers from this monomer should be possible.
