Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 8. Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)-quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride

Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride leads to 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls which, except for the ethoxycarbonyl derivative, undergo rearrangement to 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. The last can be synthesized by the alkylation of the corresponding 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls under conditions of interphase catalysis and in the system KOH-DMSO.For Communication 7, see [1].Stavropol' State University, Stavropol' 355009, Russia; nauka@stavsu.ru.

Structure of some components of the roots of Prangos ferulacea

Summary From a methanolic extract of the roots ofPrangos ferulacea (L) Lindl., growing in the Nakhichevan ASSR, in addition to the compounds found previously, another six substances (I–VI) have been isolated, of which (I) and (VI) have been identified as, respectively, meransin hydrate monoacetate, found for the first time in nature, and umbelliferone: and in the study of a crystalline mixture obtained from the resin of the roots of the plant under investigation collected in Armenia, two coumarins — (VII) and (VIII) — have been isolated.On the basis of a study of IR, NMR, and mass spectra and chemical properties, the structures of the six new cumarin derivatives (II–V, VII, and VIII) have been established. Compound (II) has the structure of 8-(3-methylbutenyloxy)furo-2,3:7,6-coumarin and has been called feruliden; (III) is 7-hydroxy-8-(3-hydroxy-2-senecioyloxyisopentyl) coumarin and has been called ferudiol; (IV) is 7-hydroxy-8-(3-methoxy-2-senecioyloxyisopentyl) coumarin; (V) is 5-[1-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyroyloxy)-1-methylethyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro-2,3:7,6-coumarin and has been called lindiol; (VII) is 8-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyloxy)-7-methoxycoumarin and has been called ferudenol; (VIII) is 7-methoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-oxobut-3-enyl)coumarin and has been called prangone.Leningrad Sanitary-Hygenic Medical Institute.

Thioamides of 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylic and 3-(5′-nitrofuryl-2′) acrylic acids

Phosphorus pentasulfide reacts with the amides and substituted amides of 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylic and 3-(5-nitrofuryl-2) acrylic acids in ethyl acetate to give the corresponding thioamides. Some amides of 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylic and 3-(5-nitrofuryl-2) acrylic acids are synthesized for the first time. Iodine oxidation of 5-nitrofuran-2-thiocarboxamide gives 3, 5-bis (5-nitrofuryl-2)-1, 2, 4-thiazole.     

Synthesis starting from 3-methyl-2-phenyl-5-(3-methyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dehydropiperidyl-6)pyridine. 2-phenyldinicotinic and 4-azafluorenone-2-carboxylic acids

N-Methyl (ethyl, benzoyl, trifluoroacetyl)-substituted 3-methyl-2-phenyl-5-(3-methyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dehydropiperidyl-6) pyridines and di(N-oxide) of the correspondingly substituted ,ß-dipyridyl were prepared. A method for synthesizing 2-phenyldinicotinic acid was developed. Cyclodehydration of this acid gave 4-azafluorenone-2-carboxylic acid. Transformations of this acid were carried out with respect to two functional groups.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 813–817, June, 1986.     

1,4-bis(4′-hydroxy-1′,2′,5′-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,3-butadiyne and its derivatives

1.4-Bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1.3-butadiyne has been synthesized from the individual isomers of 4-ethynyl-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol. Hydrogenation, bromination, and cleavage have given, respectively, 1,4-bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)butane, 1,4-bis(4-nydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrabromo-1, 3-butadiene, and 4-(1,3-butadiynyl)-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol.     

Polarographic behavior of 2,2′-bifuryl and 2,2′-furoin

In aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic buffer solutions at pH<9, 2, 2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin give two-electron polarographic electroreduction waves, the half-wave potentials of which depend on the pH. The primary product of the electroreduction of 2, 2-bifuryl is trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(, -furyl)ethylene, which then rearranges into 2, 2-furoin. The anode-cathode wave of 2,2-bifuryl has been studied by means of a Kalousek commutator. It has been shown that the polarographic behavior of 2,2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin is similar to that of benzil and benzoin, but differs from the behavior of analogs of the pyridine series.     

Nitration,amination, and halogenation of Di-O-methylphloracetophenone

Chlorination of the title compound gave 5- and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone. The nitration of its acetate, followed successively by reduction, diazotization, and reaction with cuprous chloride, gave the 3-substituted series, 2-acetoxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3-nitroacetophenone, 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone, and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-methoxyacetophenone, respectively. The orientation of substituents in the products was proved. The amino and chloro members of the isomeric 5-substituted series were availablevia 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy-5-phenylazoacetophenone, the product of the reaction of the title compound with benzenediazonium chloride.

Coumarins of Seseli tenuisectum

Summary The herbSeseli tenuisectum has been found to contain — in addition to anomalin — another three coumarins (C-2, C-3, and C-4) which are derivatives of khellactone.On the basis of NMR, mass, and IR spectroscopy, the products of stepwise alkaline methanolysis and hydrolysis, and conversion into pteryxin, it has been established that two of them are isomeric monoesters of khellactone and angelic acid with the structures 3-angeloyloxy-4-hydroxy- and 4-angeloyloxy-3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroxyseselin, respectively. They have been obtained in the individual state for the first time by thin-layer chromatography, which has enabled their IR spectra to be recorded.The lactone C-4 is a diester of khellactone with the structure 4-angeloyloxy-3-isovaleryloxy-3,4-dihydroseselin.We are the first to have found these substances in plants of the flora of the USSR.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 38–43, January–February, 1972.     

Derivatives of 3-aminopiperidine-2, 6-dione

Several N-substituted 3-phthalimidopiperidine-2,6-diones and 3-(3phthalimido-2,5-dioxopyrrolid-1-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione have been synthesized.     

Synthesis and some properties of the methyl ester and N,N-diethylamide of 2-azido-5-phenyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid

The methyl ester and N,N-diethylamide of 2-azido-5-phenyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid were obtained by the reaction of the corresponding 4-substituted 2-hydrazino-5-phenylthiazole with NaNO₂ in acid media. IR and UV spectroscopy were used to show that the compounds synthesized retain azide form in both the crystalline state and in solution. The reaction of azides with dicarbonyl compounds gave derivatives of 2-[5-methyl-4-acetyl-or 2-[5-methyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]-5-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 710–714, May, 1993.     

Synthesis of 5′-deoxy-5′-[18F]fluoro-adenosine by Radiofluorination of 5′-deoxy-5′-haloadenosine Derivatives

5-Deoxy-5-[¹⁸F]fluoro-adenosine was synthesised by nucleophilic radiofluorination reactions of 5-deoxy-5-haloadenosines. The homogeneous isotope exchange in 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-adenosine was also investigated. The conversion of these reactions was found to be rather low and depends on the strength of the halogen-carbon bond: 0.248% for chloride-, 0.488% for bromide- and 1.070% for iodide-derivative; there was no reaction observed in the case of fluoro-compound.     

Transformed steroids. 160. Reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β, 21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate and carbethoxyhydrazine

Conclusion The reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate in the presence of carbethoxyhydrazine proceeds by two competing paths: cisopening of the oxide ring by a -SCN ion at the C¹⁷ atom, and substitution of one of the methoxyl groups by -NCS ion. As a result 2,20-dicarbethoxyhydrazones of pregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one-[17,16-d]-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one and 20-methoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3-ol-[20,21-d]-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione are formed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 911–914, April, 1987.
