Synthese und Konfigurationszuordnung von potentiell antimikrobiellen 5,6-Dihydroxyisobenzofuranonen

Summary Oxidation of isobenzofuranone1 yielded in a diastereoselective reaction epoxide2. Acidolysis of2 resulted in a mixture oftrans-glycols6 a (88%) and7 a (4%), which were separated by crystallization. The relative configuration of6 a and7 a at the chiral centers 3 a, 5, 6, and 7 a was determined by¹H-NMR-spectroscopy and X-ray analysis of O-acetylated and 7 a-methylated derivatives.

     

Molecular structure of 2-Amino-5-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol (Megazol) and related compounds: A concerted study using X-ray crystallography,molecular mechanics,and semiempirical methods

A structural study of three nitroimidazoles was carried out using molecular mechanics, semiempirical methods, and X-ray crystallography. Structural features which might account for the high efficiency of1 (Megazol) as an antiparasitic drug and its opposite, the inactivity of its regiomers2 and3 were examined, i.e., coplanarity of the two rings, preferred conformations, and rotational barriers around the pivot bond between the two rings. For the three compounds an antiperiplanar conformation is preferred for the N(CH₃) and C-S bonds. For compounds1 and3, the rings are coplanar, with2 being somewhat twisted. The geometry obtained by molecular mechanics for compound1 is in excellent agreement with the X-ray structure, and greater confidence can be placed in this method than in semiempirical ones. Similarities observed on the LUMO positions, as well as rotational barriers lead to the conclusion that the differences in biological activity of these compounds do not rely on their ground state properties but rather on their subsequent reactions with oxygen. In addition, the calculations revealed significant structural information of a family of biological importance (nitroimidazoles) and constitute a comparative test for the MM2, AM1, and PM3 methods.     

Tetramethyl(2-methylthioethyl)cyclopentadienyl complexes of zirconium(iv): synthesis,crystal structure,and dynamic behavior in solutions

Chelating sulfur-containing cyclopentadienyl ligand tetramethyl(2-methylthioethyl)cyclopentadiene (1), was synthesized for the first time. Its sodium (2a) and lithium (2b) derivatives were isolated in the crystalline state. Starting from compound1 some novel Zr^IV complexes were prepared: [tetramethyl(2-methylthioethyl)cyclopentadienylltriclllorozirconium (3), bis[tetramethyl(2-methylthioethyl)cyclopentadienylldichlorozirconium (4), and [pentamethylcyclopentadienyll [tetramethyl(2-methylthioethyl)cyclopentadienylldichlorozirconium (5). The crystal structures of3 and5 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The dynamic behavior of complex3 in various solvents was investigated by¹H and¹³C N MR spectroscopy. The SZr coordination bond was shown to exist in complex3 both in the crystalline state and in solution. No coordination of this type was found in compounds4 and5.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 984–992, April, 1996.     

Gould-Jacobs reaction of 6-amino-2,3-diphenylquinoxaline

Summary Catalytic hydrogenation of 2,3-diphenyl-6-nitroquinoxaline led to the corresponding amine1 which in turn afforded products3a-i on reaction with alkoxymethylene derivatives2a-i. Thermal cyclization of3b and3f yielded substituted pyrazinoquinolones5b and5f, respectively. Optimal conditions for the successful hydrolysis of ester5b were found. The structures of all products were deduced from their IR, UV,¹H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopic data.Dedicated to Prof.F. Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Bisamide der Quadratsäure

The structures of the title compounds2,5 and6 were determined by single crystal X-ray methods at room temperature (2) and at 140 K (5 and6). The molecules contain approximately planar C₄N₂O₂ (or C₄N₂OS) groups with considerable C-N, C-O and C-S--bonding. The C-C bond distances in the four membered rings of the 2,4-bisamides (squaraines)5 and6 vary between 143.9 (6) and 146.9 with a mean value of 145.8 pm. In the 3,4-bisamide2 the cyclobutendionestructure is more pronounced with d(C-C) ranging from 142.5 (4) to 148.8 (5) pm. The packing mode of2,5 and6 are related by group-subgroup relations.

     

Nuclear magnetic resonance VI. Some quantitative applications of carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy to phenylindoles

Summary The number of carbons represented by each signal of the phenylindoles1,4, and5 is measured quantitatively by integration of their¹³C NMR spectra, recorded after adding chromium(III) acetylacetonate to the sample solutions as a paramagnetic relaxation agent. Their carbon chemical shifts are assigned unambiguously; the literature assignments of4 are confirmed. By a comparative study of the carbon chemical shifts of1,4, and5, those of2 and3 are also assigned. Theortho carbons of the phenyl group of4 resonate upfield with respect to thepara carbon. Theortho carbons of the 2- and 3-phenyl moieties of1–3 and5, however, are found to absorb downfield from the correspondingpara carbons, probably because of steric and/or electronic effects exerted by their neighbouring phenyl group.

Kernresonanzspektroskopie, 6. Mitt. Einige quantitative Anwendungen der¹³C-NMR-Spektroskopie auf Phenylindole

Zusammenfassung Die Anzahl der durch jedes Signal der Phenylindole1,4 und5 repräsentierten Kohlenstoffatome wird durch Integration der nach Zusatz von Chrom(III)acetonylacetat als Relaxationsreagens aufgenommenen¹³C-NMR-Spektren bestimmt. Ihre chemischen Verschiebungen werden eindeutig zugeordnet; die Literaturwerte für4 werden bestätigt. Durch eine vergleichende Untersuchung der¹³C-chemischen Verschiebungen von1,4 und5 können jene von2 und3 ebenfalls zugeordnet werden. Dieortho-Kohlenstoffe der Phenylgruppe von4 sind gegenüber denpara-Kohlenstoffatomen zu höherem Feld verschoben. Für die 2- und 3-Phenyl-Substituenten von1–3 und5 kehren sich die Verhältnisse um, wahrscheinlich wegen sterischer und/oder elektronischer Effekte der benachbarten Phenylgruppe.

Conformational analysis 29: Preparation and1H and13C NMR,FTIR, MS,and crystallographic conformational and configurational study of 3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane and its monomethyl derivatives

3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane (1) and its monomethyl derivatives were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 1,3-oxathianes. The structural analysis was carried out by¹H and¹³C NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometry. At 298 K compound1 was a 1 1 (at 173 K a 3 1) mixture of the SO(ax) and SO(eq) chair forms. The major oxidation products of methyl 1,3-oxathianes attained exclusively the SO(ax), Me(eq) chair forms except that of the 5-methyl derivative, which consisted of 7% of the SO(eq), Me(ax) chair conformation in CDCl₃ solution. The minor products of oxidation existed in anancomeric SO(eq), Me(eq) chair conformations. The oxidation of 2-methyl- 1,3-oxathiane, however, led to 3,3-dioxo derivative (6) in addition to thetrans [SO(eq)] monoxide. The crystal structures of6 andtrans-3-oxo-5-methyl-1,3-oxathiane were solved by X-ray diffractometry.

1,2-Dipyridazinyl-?then- und-?than-1,2-diole aus Pyridazin-carbaldehyden

Treatment of pyridazine-4-carboxaldehyde with catalytic amounts of KCN results in formation of pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid and two stereoisomeric diols (4,5). The configurations of4 and5 are explained on basis of the¹H-NMR-spectra, the mechanism of reaction is discussed. Pyridazine-3-carboxaldehyde (10) reacts with HCN to form the addition product of10-cyanhydrine to10 (11). HCN-elimination from11 yields the enediol12 which by oxygen is oxidized to pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester.     

Über die Struktur der Acrylnitril-Guanidin-Kondensate Über Heterocyclen, 78. Mitt.

Repetition of the work ofSugino andTamaka ¹ showed that acrylonitrile and guanidine react inDMF to yield not only 3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2—a]pyrimidine-2,8(1H)-diimine (1), but a mixture (F) of1 (as a main product) and 2-amino-4-imino-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-1-propionitrile (7) besides one or two bases not identified so far.1 and7 were isolated as picrates. For the prove of their structures,1- and7-picrate were also prepared by an unequivocal synthesis starting from iminodipropionitrile hydrochloride8 · HCl: The latter on reaction with cyanamide gave9 which cyclized to afford a mixture of1,7 and 2-amino-4-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-1-propionitrile (10). The picrates of1 and7 were identical with those prepared from the acrylonitrileguanidine-condensateF. This result supports the prior proposed¹ structures of pyrimidopyrimidine1 and of4,5 and6, obtained by hydrolysis of1. Nmr-, ir-and some of the mass spectra of1,4,7–10 (and their salts) are reported.

     

ESR and quantum-chemical studies of the structure and thermal transformations of vinylcyclopropane radical cations in irradiated frozen Freon matrices. Simulation of radical processes in the gas phase

Thermal trasfomations of vinylcyclopropane (VCP) radical cations (RC) in X-ray irradiated frozen Freon matrices, CFCl₂CF₂Cl and CFCl₃, were studed by ESR. Radical processes involving VCP^.+ in very rarefied and moderately thickened gaseous VCP were simulated. Monomolecular cleavage of the cyclopropane ring ofgauche-VCP^.+ (1) occurs to give the more thermally stable distonic radical cationdist(0.90)-C₅H₈ ^.+ (3). As the density of VCP increases RC3 adds at the double bond ofanti-VCP to give the distonic RC,^.CH₂CH₂CHCH(CH₂)₃CHCHCH₂ ⁺ (5). Under the same conditions, the less thermally stableanti-VCP^.+(2) undergoes monomolecular isomerization into RC1 or reacts withanti-VCP with the rearrangement (as in the condensed phase) to give its distonic form,dist(90.0)-C₅H₈ ^.+ (4). The MNDO-UHF method was adapted for quantum-chemical analysis of the constants of isotropic hyperfine coupling with¹H and¹³C nuclei in neutral and charged hydrocabon radicals, since the standard version of this method inadequately reproduces the structural parameters of low-symmetry (C ₁,C _s) paramagnetic species. A quantum-chemical analysis of the radiospectroscopic information and of the stereoelectronic control of thermal transformations of conformers of RC1 and2 into their structurally nonequivalent distonic forms3 and4, respectively, was carried out.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and structure of 4-[(4-Nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-NNO-azoxyl]-1, 2,5-oxadiazol-3-amine

The synthesis of the energetic compound 4-[(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-NNO-azoxyl]-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-amine (3) was achieved in two steps from diaminofurazan (1). Compound 3 was characterized by X-ray diffraction. From the X-ray structure a bifurcated intramolecular H bond between O(2)-H(2)-N(4) was observed. In addition, intramolecular H bonding was observed between H(1) and N(7) of an adjacent molecule. One molecule of ethanol and one-half molecule of water per molecule of3 was observed in the crystal lattice. However, no H bonding was observed between the solvent molecules and3 in the crystal lattice. Despite the presence of solvent in the crystal lattice,3 was found to have a high crystal density (d=1.856 g/cm³).     

Über die Darstellung der 7R-Oxirane von 5Z- und 5E-10-Oxo-19-norcholecalciferol

Summary The two title compounds12b and13b have been prepared by direct oxidation of the corresponding 10-oxo-19-norcolcalciferol derivatives3c and4c withMCPBA. The generation of12b and13b by treatment of the ⁷ epoxidized ethylisoxazolin adducts of 5Z- and 5E-cholecalciferol8a,8b and9a,9b with Mo(CO)₆ failed, since besides the retroaldol cleavage of the heterocycle a deoxygenation of the oxirane with retention of configuration to the ⁷ double bond occurs.
