Electrosynthesis of 5-amino-4-oxopentanoic acid hydrochloride

The electroreduction of methyl 5-nitro-4-oxopentanate was studied by means of a polarographic method and preparative electrolysis in acidic-alcoholic solutions. The effects of the following factors on the yield and quality of 5-amino-4-oxopentanoic acid hydrochloride were studied: the cathode material, amount of electricity, temperature, nature of the solvent, concentrations of the initial nitro compound and hydrochloric acid, and the cell design. It was shown by electrolysis at a controlled potential and in a galvanostatic mode that the products of methyl 5-nitro-4-oxopentanate electroreduction are hydroxyamino and amino compounds, and also ammonium chloride, nitromethane, methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, and monomethylamine hydrochloride. Their ratio depends on the electrolysis conditions. The highest overall substance yield (61.1–66.0%) and current yield (68.1–68.6%) of 5-amino-4-oxopentanoic acid hydrochloride was achieved at a copper cathode in a filter-press cell. The content of the main substance in the electrochemically obtained samples of 5-amino-4-oxopentanoic acid was 89.5–91.0%.     

Recyclization of 5-Amino- oxazoles as a Route to new Functionalized Heterocycles (Developments of V.P. Kukhar Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the NAS of Ukraine)

The recyclizations of 5-amino- and 5-hydrazine-1,3-oxazoles mainly with electron-withdrawing group in 4^th position are considered. The chemical behavior of these heterocycles is due to the presence of two hidden amide fragments; therefore, the recyclization processes include a stage of nucleophile attack on 2^nd or 5^th position of the oxazole cycle. When the nitrile group is present in 4^th position, it is often involved in the recyclization forming α-aminoazoles. 5-Amino/hydrazine-1,3-oxazoles undergo recyclization both in nucleophilic (amines, hydrazine, thionating agents) and electrophilic medium ((trifluoro)acetic acid, other acylating agents). The numerous types of functionalized heterocycles can be easily obtained with the usage of these recyclizations, such as the derivatives of 3-amino-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2–a]imidazole, imidazolidine-2,4-dione, 1H-pyrazole-3,4,5-triamine, 5,6-diamino-2,3-diphenylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one, 2-(2-R-7-oxo-5-(trifluoromethyl)oxazolo[5,4–d]pyrimidin-6(7H)-yl)acetic acid, 2-R-4-(5-R′-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)oxazol-5-amine, (amino(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)methyl)phosphonate.

Cationic 1,2-vinyl addition polymerization of cyclic ketene acetals initiated by conventional acids

Pure 1,2-addition polymers, poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane), 1b , poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane), 2b , and poly(2-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane), 3b , were prepared using the cationic initiators H₂SO₄, TiCl₄, BF₃, and also Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂. Small ester carbonyl bands in the IR spectra of 1b and 2b were observed when the polymerizations were performed at 80°C ( 1b ) and both 67 and 138°C ( 2b ) using Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂. The poly(cyclic ketene acetals) were stable if they were not exposed to acid and water. They were quite thermally stable and did not decompose until 290°C ( 1b ), 240°C ( 2b ), and 294°C ( 3b ). Different chemical shifts for axial and equatorial H and CH₃ on the ketal rings were found in the ¹H NMR spectrum of 3b at room temperature. High molecular weight 3b (M̄_n = 8.68 × 10⁴, M̄_w = 1.31 × 10⁵, M̄_z = 1.57 × 10⁵) was obtained upon cationic initiation by H₂SO₄. Poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane), 2b , underwent partial hydrolysis when Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂ and water were present in the polymer. The hydrolyzed products were 1,3-propanediol and a polymer containing both poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane) and polyketene units. The percentages of these two units in the hydrolyzed polymer were about 32% polyketene and 68% poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane). No crosslinked or aromatic structures were observed in the hydrolyzed products. The molecular weight of hydrolyzed polymer was M̄_n = 5740, M̄_w = 7260, and M̄_z = 9060. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 3707–3716, 1997

Glucose Oxidase Electrode Based on Graphite and Methylthio Tetrathiafulvalene as Mediator

Abstract

A glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase and a new mediator - 4,5-dimethyl-4′-methylthio-Δ 2,2′-bi-1,3-dithiole (MTTTF) is described. The background for sensor action is the effective MTTTF cation interaction (apparent bimolecular constant (2.0+/-0.5)?10⁶ M^?1 s^?1 at 25°C and pH 7.0) with reduced glucose oxidase and the high electrochemical rate of mediator transformation.

A glucose sensor was prepared by adsorbing mediator (MTTTF) and glucose oxidase on graphite rods. The sensor responds to glucose at electrode potentials higher than 50 mV vs SCE, but the maximal activity is obtained at a potential of 250 mV. In air saturated solution the electrode shows a non-linear calibration curve with a half-saturation concentration 10.4 mM and Hill coefficient 2.08 at 250 mV. Sensor response changes little at pH 6.5–8.0. The energy of activation of the sensor response calculated from the Arrhenius equation was 64.5 kJ/mol, and the temperature coefficient at 25°C was 9.2%.

Chemical Modification of Plant Alkaloids. III. X-Ray Diffraction and NMR Studies of the Structure of 1,3-Dimethyl-5-arylmethyl-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric Acids

The three-dimensional structure of 1,3-dimethyl-5-(4-allyloxybenzyl)-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric acid was found by x-ray structure analysis. A conformation with proximal cytisine and 2,4,6-trioxopyrimidine moieties was observed. Analogous structures for other synthesized 1,3-dimethyl-5-arylmethyl-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric acids and their 2-thio analogs were proved and the intramolecular effects caused by mutual magnetic shielding of spatially proximal groups were studied using PMR.     

Influence of tertiary diamines on the synthesis of high‐molecular‐weight poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene)

The living synthesis of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) was performed with an initiator adduct that was synthesized from a 1:2 (mol/mol) mixture of N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and n‐butyllithium. This initiator, which was preformed at 65 °C, facilitated the synthesis of high‐molecular‐weight poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (number‐average molecular weight = 50,000 g/mol) with a narrow molecular weight distribution (weight‐average molecular weight/number‐average molecular weight = 1.12). A plot of the kinetic chain length versus the time indicated that termination was minimized and chain transfer to the monomer was eliminated when a preformed initiator adduct was used. Chain transfer was determined to occur when the initiator was generated in situ. The polymerization was highly sensitive to both the temperature and the choice of tertiary diamine. The use of the bulky tertiary diamines sparteine and dipiperidinoethane resulted in poor polymerization control and reduced polymerization rates (7.0 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹) in comparison with TMEDA‐mediated polymerizations (1.5 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹). A series of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene‐block‐isoprene) diblock copolymers were synthesized to determine the molar crossover efficiency of the polymerization. Polymerizations performed at 25 °C exhibited improved molar crossover efficiencies (93%) versus polymerizations performed at 40 °C (80%). The improved crossover efficiency was attributed to the reduction of termination events at reduced polymerization temperatures. The microstructure of these polymers was determined with ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and the relationship between the molecular weight and glass‐transition temperature at an infinite molecular weight was determined for polymers containing 70% 1,2‐addition (150 °C) and 80% 1,4‐addition (138 °C). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines

In this work, we described an easy preparation of substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles. These compounds have been used as starting materials to obtain two classes of compounds. New substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridines were synthesized in one step via Friedländer reaction. Diazotation of 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles afforded 4-chloro[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines in one step. The later was substituted by a secondary amine to obtain substituted 4-amino[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines.     

Thermal properties of lanthanide(III) complexes with 5-amino-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid

The complexes of yttrium(III) and lanthanides(III) with 5-amino-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid form two isostructural series of compounds and have the general formula Ln₂(C₈H₅O₄N)₃·nH₂O, where n = 13 for Y, La-Er and n=9 for Tm, Yb, Lu. They are insoluble in water and stable at room temperature. On heating in air or inert gas atmosphere they lose all water molecules in several steps. The anhydrous compounds are stable to about 400°C and next decompose to oxides.     

New Approach to the Synthesis of 1,3-Chloroisothiocyanatoalkanes. Synthesis of Tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2-thiones and 2-Alkylamino-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazines

A method was developed to prepare 1,3-chloroisothiocyanatoalkanes by reducing 1,3-isothiocyanato ketones using sodium borohydride at pH ~7 and subsequent treatment of the resultant 1,3-isothiocyanato alcohols with thionyl chloride. The reaction of 1,3-chloroisothiocyanatoalkanes with sodium hydrosulfide or amines gives substituted tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2-thiones or 2-amino-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazines.     

NHC‐Pd complex based on 1,3‐bis (4‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl) imidazolium chloride: synthesis,structure and catalytic activity in the synthesis of axially chiral benzophenone hydrazone

A novel NHC–Pd complex of 1,3‐bis (4‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl) imidazolium chloride has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction studies. TG analysis shows that the NHC‐Pd complex is stable under 208 °C. The catalytic activities have been explored for the synthesis of axially chiral N‐(2′‐methoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalen‐2‐yl) benzophenone hydrazone. The result indicates that the novel NHC‐Pd complex can achieve better catalytic activity than the Pd‐phosphine catalysts in the synthesis of axially chiral N‐(2′‐methoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalen‐2‐yl) benzophenone hydrazone.
