Synthesis and Antitubercular Evaluation of New Bis-1,2,3-Triazoles Derived from D-Mannitol

Five new bis-1,2,3-triazole derivatives from D-mannitol, namely 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-1,6-dideoxy-1,6-bis-(4-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-D-mannitol (4), have been synthesized from 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-1,6-diazido-1,6-dideoxy-D-mannitol (3) and alkynes, employing copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) methodology. Evaluation of their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv using the Alamar Blue susceptibility test indicated poor activities. However, this study has provided information about the SAR of D-mannitol derivatives in the search for new anti-TB drugs based on this carbohydrate.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly[4,4-bis(pivaloxymethyl)-1,6-heptadiyne] having high oxygen permselectivity

Cyclopolymerization of 4,4-bis(pivaloxymethyl)-1,6-heptadiyne containing a bulky ester group was examined by group 5,6-transition metal catalysts. Both of the MoCl₅-based and WCl₆-based catalysts were effective for the cyclopolymerization. The obtained polymer was characterized to have planar backbone and recurring cyclic ring structure by various spectroscopy. The poly[4,4-bis(pivaloxymethyl)-1,6-heptadiyne] was soluble in common organic solvents to easily cast the free standing film. The polymer film had good mechanical property and high oxygen permselectivity to nitrogen. The oxygen permeability coefficient (PO₂) and permselectivity of oxygen to nitrogen (PO₂/PN₂) of poly[4,4-bis(pivaloxymethyl)-1,6-heptadiyne] were 19.7 barrer and 5.71, respectively. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The preparation of some reactive 1,6-disubstituted perfluorohexanes

Reactive 1,6-disubstituted perfluorohexanes have been prepared $\text{via}$ the reaction of 1,6-$\text{bis}$(dimethylhydrosilyl)-perfluorohexanes with alkyllithium and Grignard reagents. The resulting species may be derivatized in the same manner as organolithium reagents, but are appreciably more stable than the 1,6-dilithioperfluorohexane which is presumably generated by the halogen-metal exchange between an alkyllithium reagent and Br(CF₂)₆Br. 1,6-bis(Bromomagnesium)-perfluorohexane was also prepared in good yield by a halogen-metal exchange reaction.     

Cyclization/acylation reactions by nickel-catalyzed reactions of 1,6-ynal and 1,6-enyne derivatives with acylzirconocene chloride

NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂-catalyzed reactions of 1,6-ynal or 1,6-enyne compounds with n-nonanoylzirconocene chloride afforded stereoselectively cyclopentane derivatives or bicyclo[3.1.0] compounds by catalytic cyclization/acylation reactions, which would involve (i) the primary formation of a metallacycle followed by (ii) the transfer of an acyl group from the acylzirconocene complex (transmetalation).     

Copolymerization of 1,6-anhydroglucose and 1,6-anhydromaltose derivatives

The copolymerization of 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-(p-methyl-benzyl)-β-D -glucopyrnose [TXGL, M₁] with 1,6-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D -glucopyranosyl)-β-D -glucopyranose [HBMA, M₂] has been studied as a method of producing dextrans of controlled composition with a linear backbone and randomly distributed single glucose units as side chains. Copolymers of intrinsic viscosities ranging from 0.51 to 0.05 dl/g are produced. The copolymerization appears to follow classical copolymerization theory but is affected adversely by the low reactivity of the maltose derivative. Reactivity ratios have been calculated for runs catalyzed by 10 mole-% and 20 mole-% phosphorus pentafluoride (PF₅): r₁ = 1.91 ± 0.35, r₂ = 0.28 ± 0.25 and r₁ = 2.21 ± 0.15, r₂ = 0.21 ± 0.10, respectively.     

A Fluorescent Blue Phosphazene Dye: Synthesis,Structure and Optical Properties of 1,6‐Bis(Dimethylamino)‐2,5,7,10‐Tetraazo‐1,6λ5‐Diphosphapyrene

Herein we report on the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of the fluorescent blue phosphazene dye 1,6‐bis(dimethylamino)‐2,5,7,10‐tetraazo‐1,6λ⁵‐diphosphapyrene, which was isolated as the unexpected product of the reaction between 1,4,5,8‐(tetraamino)naphthalene and [P(NMe₂)₃Br]Br. This dye, which turned out to be soluble in water and a range of organic solvents (including hexane, tetrahydrofuran / petroleum ether, acetonitrile, and ethanol), was structurally characterized by XRD. Its absorption as well as emission spectra and their sensitivity to pH variations were analyzed. The experimental work is complemented by quantum chemical calculations on the possible intermediate on the way to the isolated product and on its pK_a value.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF POLY(1,6-HEPTADIYNE) HAVING A BULKY AND RIGID t-BUTYLBENZOYL GROUP

The polymerization of 4,4-bis(t-butylbenzoylmethyl)-1,6-hepta-diyne (BTBH) was carried out by group 5,6-transition metal catalysts. MoCl₅- as well as WCl₆-based catalysts were effective for the cyclopolymerization of BTBH. The polymer structure was analyzed to have conjugated backbone and recurring 5-membered ring by various spectroscopes. The polymer showed good solubility in common organic solvents. The polymer had good thermal stability and mechanical property. The oxygen permeability coefficient (PO₂) and permselectivity of oxygen to nitrogen (PO₂/PN₂) of poly(BTBH) with bulky and rigid t-butyl benzoyl group were 23.2 barrer and 4.63, respectively.     

Copolymerization of 1,6-anhydro-ß-D-galactopyranose and 1,6-anhydro-ß-D-mannopyranose derivatives

1,6-Anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-(p-methylbenzyl)-ß-D -galactopyranose (TXGal,M₁) has been copolymerized with 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-ß-D -mannopyranose (TBMan,M₂), the products characterized by NMR, specific rotation, and viscosity, and the reactivity ratios calculated. The reactivity ratios r₁ = 0.37 ± 0.15 and r₂ = 38 ± 4 indicate that the anhydromannose derivative is about 100 times as reactive as that of anhydrogalactose. A comparison of glucose, mannose, and galactose copolymerizations suggests that the reactivity differences of the three propagating cations are comparatively small and the reactivity differences of the monomers large. This result is consistent with a mechanism proposed earlier. Methyl substitution on the aromatic rings of the p-xylyl groups inhibits the initiation process significantly relative to benzyl, but propagation only slightly.     

Conformational analysis of mesocyclic polythioethers : Crystal and molecular structures of 1,4-dithiacycloheptane, 1,5-dithiacyclononane and 1,6-dithiacyclodecane

The crystal and molecular structures of 1,4-dithiacycloheptane (1,4-DTCH), 1,5-dithiacyclononane (1,5-DTCN), and 1,6-dithiacyclodecane (1,6-DTCD) have been determined by single crystal X-ray studies. These compounds crystallize in the space groups P2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19), P2₁/c (No. 14), and P2₁/n, respectively with a = 5.409(1), b = 10.883(2), c = 11.390(2) Å, Z = 4; a = 9.600(4), b = 12.378(8), c = 7.904(3) Å, /gb = 113.31(3)°, Z = 4; and a = 5.290(1), b = 12.853(3), c = 6.850(2) Å, β = 93.39(2)°, Z = 2, respectively. The nonhydrogen atoms were located using direct methods and the hydrogen atoms were found by Fourier difference maps. Full-matrix least-squares refinement led to conventional R factors of 0.0459, 0.0558 and 0.0314, respectively. The conformations adopted by 1,4-DTCH, 1,5-DTCN and 1,6-DTCD, in the crystalline slate, are twist chair (C₂ symmetry), twist boat chair (C₂ symmetry), and boat chair boat (C_2k symmetry), respectively. The transannular S-S distances are 3.583, 4.108 and 4.864 Å, respectively.     

The mass spectral rearrangements of 1,6-bis(arylsulfenyl)-2,4-hexadiynes and 1,6-bis(arylsulfonyl)-2,4-hexadiynes

The mass spectral. behavior of 1,6-bis(arylsulfenyl)-2,4-hexadiynes and 1,6-bis(arylsulfonyl)-2,4-hexadiynes were examined. The sulfenyl derivatives extruded the hexadiynyl moiety with the formation of Ar? S? S? Ar fragments. The sulfonyl derivatives, on the other hand, showed no extrusion of the hexadiyne fragment but an expulsion of SO₂ and even two SO₂ units.     

1,6-Additionen an 3-Methyl-5-methyliden-2-(5H)-furanon-Derivate

1,6-Additions to 3-Methyl-5-methylidene-2(5H)-furanone Derivatives The anions of thiophenol, methyl malonate and malononitrile react with 3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2 (4H)-benzofuranone ( 1c ) by the formation of the corresponding 1,6-addition products cis- 5c (63%), trans- 6 (42%) and trans- 7 (76%), respectively. Likewise, the reaction of 3-methyl-5-methylidene-2 (5H)-furanone ( 1b ) with thiophenol yields the 1,6-addition product 5b (66%), and with the sodium salt of methyl aceto-acetate the 1,6-addition product 8 (11%) and the dispiro-dilactone 9 (39%).     

Synthesis and structural peculiarities of disodium 1,6-dioxoalka-2,4-diene-3,4-diolates

Three-component condensation of dialkyl oxalates with alkyl acetates and alkyl methyl ketones in the presence of bases afforded 1-alkoxy(or 1,6-dialkoxy)-1,6-dioxoalka-2,4-diene-3,4-diolates. The product structure was discussed on the basis of their IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectra.     

Stereospecific,R2AlCl-Promoted Intramolecular Ene Reaction of a 1,6-Dienoate: Evidence for a Concerted Mechanism

Treatment of the 83%-trans-¹³CH₃-labelled 1,6-dienoate 7 with Et₂AlCl at–78° provided in high yield the ene product 9 containing 83% ¹³C localized in the olefinic C(8)-methylene group. Accordingly, H-transfer occurs exclusively from the trans-methyl group of 7 , consistent with a concerted ene process 7 9 thereby ruling out an intermediate cation 8 (Scheme 4).     

Synthesis of 1,6-Dideoxynojirimycin, 1,6-Dideoxy-D-allo-nojirimycin,and 1,6-Dideoxy-D-gulo-nojirimycin via Asymmetric Hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions

Asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of sorbaldehyde O-methyloxime 1d with chiral chloronitroso derivative 2 of D -mannose, followed by osmylation of the primary cycloadduct, led to diol 6a with excellent enantioselectivity (ee > 99%; Scheme 1). Catalytic hydrogenolysis of 6a gave 1,6-dideoxy-D -allo-nojirimycin ( 7a ). Nucleophilic ring opening of cyclic sulfate 8 allowed a straightforward synthesis of 1,6-dideoxynojirimycin ( 11 ) and of 1,6-dideoxy-D -gulo-nojirimycin ( 12 ; Scheme 2).     

Cationic ring-opening polymerization of new 1,6-anhydro-β-lactose derivatives

Synthesis and cationic ring-opening polymerization of new 1,6-anhydro-β-lactose derivatives such as hexa-O-methylated (LSHME), tert-butyldimethylsilylated (LSHSE), and benzylated 1,6-anhydro-β-lactoses (LSHBE) were first investigated. The disaccharide monomers were prepared by methylation, tert-butyldimethylsilylation, and benzylation of 1,6-anhydro-β-lactose, respectively. It was found that LSHME was readily polymerized with such Lewis acid catalysts as PF₅ and SbCl₅ to give stereoregular 2,3-di-O-methyl-4-O-(2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-methyl-β-D -galactopyranosyl)-(1→6)-β-D -glucopyranans which are comb-shaped polysaccharide derivatives. However, LSHSE and LSHBE had almost no polymerizability. It was revealed that the ring-opening polymerizability of the anhydrodisaccharide monomers was influenced by the steric hindrance of the hydroxyl-protective groups. Ring-opening copolymerization of LSHME with 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-β-D -glucopyranose (LGTBE) in various ratios of monomer feeds was also examined to afford the corresponding copolymers. Structural analyses of the monomers and polymers were carried out by means of high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of Hyperbranched Polysaccharide by Thermally Induced Cationic Polymerization of 1,6-Anhydrohexopyranose

The thermally induced cationic polymerizations of 1,6-anhydro-β-D -glucopyranose ( 1a ), 1,6-anhydro-β-D -mannopyranose ( 1b ) and 1,6-anhydro-β-D -galactopyranose ( 1c ) as a latent cyclic AB₄-type monomer were carried out using (S-2-butenyl)tetramethylenesulfonium hexafluoroantimonate ( 2 ) as an initiator. The solution polymerization in propylene carbonate proceeded without gelation to produce the water-soluble hyperbranched polysaccharides ( 3a-c ) with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. The degree of branching (DB), estimated by the methylation analysis of 3a-c , was in the range of 0.38 – 0.49. The thermally induced cationic polymerization of 1a-c using 2 is a facile method leading to a hyperbranched polysaccharide with a high DB value.     

Concise synthesis of multiply substituted stereodefined cis,cis-2,4-diene-1,6-dials, cis,cis-2,4-diene-1,6-diols and further applications

Reactions of 1,4-dilithio-1,3-dienes with DMF afforded multiply substituted stereodefined cis,cis-2,4-diene-1,6-dials in high yields. Treatment of these 1,6-dials with LiAlH₄ or RLi resulted in the formation of their corresponding 1,6-diols. These bifunctional compounds, cis,cis-2,4-diene-1,6-dials and -1,6-diols are otherwise not readily available. Further reaction of these 1,6-diols with an aldehyde catalyzed by strong acids led to the formation of oxacycles of novel structures.     

Chiral carbene approach to gold-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of 1,6-enynes

Chiral C₂-symmetric N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were tested for their stereocontrolling abilities in gold(I)-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of 1,6-enynes giving the corresponding cyclopentane derivatives with moderate enantioselectivity of up to 59%.
