New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Reactivity and solvatochromism of 2,2′-bi(4H-5,6-dihydrothiazine)-tetracarbonylmolybdenum(O)

Summary The dependence of the charge-transfer frequency for [Mo(CO)₄(btz)], btz = 2,2-bi(4H-5,6-dihydrothiazine), on solvent is described, and the solvatochromic behaviour of this compound compared with that of other [Mo(CO)₄(LL)] species, with LL = 2,2-bipyrimidine or 2,2-bipyridine, and of iron(II) analogues [Fe(btz)₂(CN)₂] and [Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂]. Kinetics of solvolysis (k, H, S) are reported for [Mo(CO)₄(btz)] in methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulphoxide. These kinetic results are analysed into initial state and transition state contributions. A parallel analysis of the solvatochromic results for [Mo(CO)₄(btz)] into ground state and excited state solvation contributions is compared with similar analyses for the solvatochromic organic compoundsp-nitroanisole and dimethylindoaniline.

Kinetics and mechanism of the ruthenium(III)-catalysed oxidation of aminoalcohols by chloramine-T in perchloric acid

Summary The kinetics of the ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, diethanolamine and triethanolamine by chloramine-T in HClO₄ medium have been studied. The reactions exhibits first order rate dependence with respect to the oxidant and to the catalyst, and are zeroth order with respect to the substrate. The rate of oxidation is proportional to k[HClO₄]/{k+k'[HClO₄]} where k, k and k' are constants (a mixture of elementary rate constants and equilibrium constants). A suitable mechanism consistent with the observed kinetic data is proposed.     

Synthesis of 2-[β-(5′-halogenofur-2′-yl)vikyl]benzimidazoles

2-[-(5-halogenofur-2-yl)vinyl]benzimidazoles (I) have been synthesized by the condensation of o-phenylenediamine with 5-halogeno-fur-2-ylacroleins or of 2-methylbenzimidazole with 5-halogenofurfurals. The methiodides of the 1-methyl-substituted derivatives ofI readily react with secondary amines (piperidine, dimethylamine)giving methiodides of 2-[-(5-dialkylaminofur-2-yl)vinyl]-1-methylbenzimidazoles.

In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].

The solid-state structure of (+)-(i)-menthyl 2-formamido-4, 4,4-trifluorobutanoate and the hydrogenation of the 2-butenoate precursor

Hydrogenation ofZ-(–)-(1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate catalyzed by Pd/C was performed at atmospheric pressure to yield a mixture of (2R, 1R, 3R, 4S)- and (2S, 1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate diastereomers in a 5545 ratio, respectively. Repeated fractional crystallization from ethyl acetate and vapor diffusion of petroleum ether afforded (+)–(2S, 1R, 3R, 4S)-menthyl 2-formamido-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate as clear colorless, crystalline prisms which were subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system P2₁2₁2₁, and at 213 K:a=5.054(1),b= 10.000(2),c=32.707(1) Å,V=1652.9(4) ų,Z=4,R(F)=0.040, andR _w (F)=0.037. The finding of the (2S)-configuration for the formamido-acid portion of the (+)-ester enabled the configurational assignment of the asymmetric hydrogenation products ofZ-methyl 2-formamido-4, 4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate catalyzed by chiral diphosphine/rhodium(I) complexes.

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chloride complexes with some 2-(4′-Methyl-2′-pyridyl and 2′- or 8′-quinolyl)benz-X-azoles

Summary Complexes of general formula ML_mCl₂ · nH₂O, where M=cobalt(II) or nickel(II); L=2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole (mpbi), 2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (mpbt), 2-(4-methyl, 2-pyridyl)benzoxazole (mpbo), 2-(4-methyl, 2-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo), or 2-(4-methyl, 8-quinolyl)benzoxazole (mqbo); m=1,2; n=0–3, were prepared and characterized by t.g.a., conductance and magnetic measurements, i.r. and diffuse-reflectance electronic spectra.All the ligands behave as bidentate and coordinate through the pyridine- and isoxazole-nitrogen atoms.The nickel complexes have distorted octahedral or fivecoordinate structures.

3- and 4-Pyridinecarboxylic acidN-oxide complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chlorides

Summary During interaction of ethanol-triethyl orthoformate solutions of nicotinic or isonicotinic acidN-oxides (LH and LH, respectively) with MCl₂ (M = Mn, Co, Ni), only one true adduct, of the Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O type was obtained. In all other cases, partial substitution of Cl^– ions with the corresponding pyridinecarboxylateN-oxide anionic ligands (L or L) occurred. As a result, mixed ligands (LH-L or LH-L) were precipitated, as follows: Mn(LH)₂LCl, Co(LH)LCl, Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, Co(LH)LCl · H₂O and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O. The insolubility of the new complexes in all common solvents, combined with the pronounced tendency of the 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxylates and theirN-oxides to function as bidentate bridging ligands, favours bi- or polynuclear structures. Spectral data suggest that Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O is hexacoordinate, and the rest of the new complexes pentacoordinate. Bi- or polynuclear structures, involving double -M-(L)₂-M- or-M-(LH)₂-M- and single -M-(L)-M- or-M(L)-M-(LH)-M- bridges, were proposed on the basis of the overall evidence; additional features of the proposed structural types are: exclusively coordinated chloro ligands, in all cases; aqua ligands [Co(LH)LCl · H₂O]; lattice water [Ni(LH)₂Cl₂ · 2H₂O]; both lattice and coordinated H₂O [Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6H₂O]; and, with the exception of Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O, terminal, unidentate, N-O oxygen-bonded LH or LH ligands.Abstracted in part from the Ph.D. Thesis (in preparation) of L. S. Gelfand, Drexel University.     

Two strong emitting coordination polymers with chain and ladder structures

Two coordination polymers [Zn(Cabo)₂(EtOH)₂(4,4-Bipy)] _n (1), and [Zn₂(Cabo)₂(NO₃)₂(4,4-Bipy)₂] _n (2) (Cabo = carbazolylacetate, 4,4-Bipy = 4,4-bipyridine) with chain and ladder structures, respectively, were prepared and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structural analysis. The results showed that the different anions of metal salts have a large effect on the construction of coordination frameworks. Both complexes show strong emissions in the solid state as well as high thermal stability.     

Molecular orbital calculations on the conformation of nucleic acids and their constituents

The conformational properties of the furanose ring of purine- and pyrimidine--nucleosides and-nucleotides are studied quantum-mechanically with the help of the PCILO method, using the pseudorotational concept. The computations point to the existence of two stable conformational zones centered around the C(3)-endo and C(2)-endo conformations which in the isolated furanose ring are separated by barriers of the order of 4 kcal/mole. In nucleosides one of the barriers (the one running through the O(1)-exo-C(2)-exo path) becomes very high. A detailed study is made of the relation between the phase angle of pseudorotation, P, and the torsion angle about the glycosyl bond, _CN. A very satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data is observed.

Zusammenfassung Die Konformationseigenschaften des Furanoserings in -Nucleosiden und Nucleotiden von Purin und Pyrimidin werden nach der PCILO-Methode unter Berücksichtigung der pseudorotatorischen Betrachtungsweise studiert. Die Rechnung läßt auf die Existenz zweier stabiler Konformationszonen schließen, die in der Umgebung der C(2)-endo und der C(3)-endo Konformationen liegen, und die im isolierten Furanosering durch Energiebarrieren der Größenordnung von 4 kcal/mol voneinander getrennt sind. In Nucleosiden wird eine der Barrieren (die durch den Weg O(1)-exo-C(2)-exo gekennzeichnete) sehr hoch. Die Relation zwischen dem Phasenwinkel der Pseudorotation, P, und dem Drehwinkel um die Glycosylbindung, _CN, wird einer eingehenden Untersuchung unterworfen. Man beobachtet eine sehr zufriedenstellende Übereinstimmung mit den verfügbaren experimentellen Daten.
