Synthesis of Methyl α-D-Kijanoside

Abstract

In 1981, Mallams and coworkers reported¹ the discovery of - D-kijanose 1, a branched-chain nitro sugar, isolated from the antitumor antibiotic kijanimicin by acid hydrolysis. The structure of this unusual carbohydrate was established ^1,2 as 2,3,4,6-tetadeo xy-4 - (methoxy carbony1 amino 1-3-c-methyl - 3 -nitro - D-xylo-hexopyranose by spectroscopic and crystallographic analysis, and comparison with D-rubranitrose 2, a carbohydrate found in the antibiotic rubradirin .³Two other nitro sugars, L-evernitrose 3 and - L-decilonitrose 4⁵, have been discoveredas components of antibiotics.     

Synthesis of Methyl—substituted Phthalazinone—based Aromatic Poly（amide imide）s

A series of novel aromatic poly (amide imide)s containing phthalazinone moietics were prepared from 2-(4-aminophenyl)-4-[3-methyl-4-(4-aminophenoxy)-2,3-phthalazinone-1], a novel diamine 1 with our diimide-dicarboxylic acids by Yamazaki phosphorylation method with the inherent viscosity of 0.36-0.65 dL/g. These polymers had high glass transition temperatures above 300℃ and they lost 10% weight between 426-475℃ in N2. The structure of diamine 1 and the polymers was confirmed by IR,^1H NMR and MS. The obtained polymers were readily soluble in polar solvents such as NMP,m-cresol etc. and easily cast into tough,flexible films. The X-ray indicated that they are all amorphous.

Abstract

An efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of methyl α-d-allopyranoside and methyl 3-deoxy-α-d-ribo-hexopyranoside starting from methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-d-glucopyranoside is described.     

Sigmatropic Rearrangement of Ammonium Ylides—Key Step in the Synthesis of Methyl 2-Formylphenyl Acetate

N-Cyanomethyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(α-methoxycarbonyl)benzylammonium salts 5 were synthesized and treated with different base/solvent systems, giving the products of sigmatropic rearrangements [2,3] 7 and [1,2] 8. In reactions carried out in liquid ammonia, [2,3] rearrangement definitively prevailed. Pure 7(or mixture of 7 and 8) were deprotected to afford methyl 2-formylphenyl acetate (9) in good yield.      

Synthesis Characterization and Viscosity Studies of Homopolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Copolymer of Methyl Methacrylate and Styrene

A homopolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and its copolymer with styrene at different compositions were synthesized and characterized. Viscosity measurements of the synthesized homopolymer and the copolymers in toluene solutions were performed at 313 K. Different equations were used to calculate the intrinsic viscosity, viscometric constants values, and molecular weight of the synthesized polymers. The values of intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight obtained by the two methods (single point determination and graphical extrapolation) were compared in order to verify the validity of the single point determination for the polymers. Viscometric properties derived included the specific viscosity (it determines the contribution of the solute to the viscosity of the solution), the reduced viscosity (that provides a measure of the polymer capacity for increasing the solution viscosity), and the intrinsic viscosity.

Phase Transfer Catalysed Synthesis of Methyl α-Bromomethylacrylate

Methyl α-bromomethylacrylate 1 is an important intermediate both as a starting material for specifically functionalized polymers and for use in general organic synthesis. As an example of the former it has been used to prepare polymeric anthraquinoid dyes¹. Synthetically, its bifunctional reactivity towards nucleophilic attack has made it useful in the preparation of both spiro² and bicyclic^3,4 ring systems. Several reports of synthetic methods leading to α-methylenelactones, having potential antitumor activity, have also been reported which use α-bromomethylacrylate as a starting point⁵.     

A New Method for Synthesis of Methyl 3—Azido—3—deoxy—2—O—mesyl—5—O—benzoylxylofuranoside

A new method for synthesis of 3-azido-3-deoxyxylofuranoside was described. D-ribose was methylated, then treated with methanesulfonyl chloride to give Ⅱ.Ⅱ was selectively replaced by benzoate at the 5-position to give Ⅲ. All these processes gave good yields. Ⅲ was treated with sodium azide to afford Ⅳ, whose structure was determined by ^1H NMR and ^13C NMR.     

Properties of Methacrylic Acid–Methyl Acrylate Copolymers of Varied Structure

Physicomechanical and surface properties of films of copolymers of methacrylic acid with methyl acrylate, which have close compositions and molecular masses (M_n ≈ 5.7 × 10⁴) and various chain structures (gradient copolymer and statistical copolymer), were studied. The thermodynamic characteristics of the copolymers were determined; two glass-transition points (29.6 and 141.0°C) were found for the gradient copolymer, and one glass-transition point of 40.1°C, for the copolymer with a statistical distribution of units along the chain. It was found that more mechanically strong films with tensile stress of 2.8 MPa are characteristic of the gradient copolymer. The wetting method was used to determine by using the Hood–Kaelble–Dann–Fowkes approach the surface Gibbs energies of the films and their polar and dispersion components. Atomic-force microscopy was used to find heterogeneities (0.1–0.3 μm) on the surface of a film of a statistical copolymer, whereas the film of a gradient polymer has a homogeneous structure.     

Gamma radiolysis of Methyl Red solution and reaction induced by γ-irradiated NaCl in Methyl Red

The -radiolysis of Methyl Red solution in HCl medium at pH=2 has been studied along with energy transfer reaction brought about byF and hole centers of -irradiated NaCl. The G-values for degradation of the azo dye indicator by radiolysis and -irradiated salt were determined as 9·10^–1 and 4.8·10^–3, respectively. The kinetic rate constants (k) of degradation are evaluated as 2·10^–5 rad^–1 in the case of direct radiolysis, while for the irradiated salt it is 2·10^–7 rad^–1. The extent of degradation by direct -radiolysis is 100–200 times greater as compared to that by the -irradiated salt. The same mechanism is proposed for radiolysis as well as the reaction induced by -irradiated sodium chloride.     

Stereocontrolled Conversion of Allylic Alcohols Into Vicinal Cis-Diols: New Syntheses of Methyl α-L-Digitoxoslde and Methyl 2-Deoxy-α-L-Fucoside

A synthetic process is outlined in which an allylic alcohol is converted into its primary urethane derivative, which is then subjected to iodonium ion induced cyclization to give a single iodo-carbonate. The carbonate is then deiodinated reductively and hydrolyzed to afford the vicinal diol. By use of this process the two title sugars have been prepared from methyl 2.3.6-trideoxv-α-L-ervthro-hex-2-enopvranoside and its α-L-threo counterpart.

The Exceptional Diversity of Homoleptic Uranium–Methyl Complexes

Homoleptic σ-bonded uranium–alkyl complexes have been a synthetic target since the Manhattan Project. The current study describes the synthesis and characterization of several unprecedented uranium–methyl complexes. Amongst these complexes, the first example of a homoleptic uranium–alkyl dimer, [Li(THF)₄]₂[U₂(CH₃)₁₀], as well as a seven-coordinate uranium–methyl monomer, {Li(OEt₂)Li(OEt₂)₂UMe₇Li}_n were both crystallographically identified. The diversity of complexes reported herein provides critical insight into the structural diversity, electronic structure and bonding in uranium–alkyl chemistry.

Flash chromatography of the mixture obtained by reaction of L-rhamnose with methanol in the presence of cation-exchange resin, in addition to methyl α-L-rhamnofuranoside (3) and methyl rhamnopyranosides 1 and 2 gave methyl β-L-rhamnofuranoside (4) in 8% yield. ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of 3 and 4 as well as their calculated conformation in solution are discussed.
