A facile synthesis of (+)/(−)-pentenomycin I and analogs,and their antimicrobial evaluation

This study reported a stereoselective synthesis of (+)/(+)-pentenomycin I in 4–5 steps through regioselective silylation, optical resolution and dihydroxylation, followed by an olefin formation, from a known racemic cyclopentenone prepared from 2-deoxy-d-glucose. We also accomplished the transformation of a common intermediate into a variety of analogs. In addition, the antimicrobial activities of the pentenomycin analogs were evaluated, which revealed important structural factors of pentenomycins for the antimicrobial activities.     

Novel preparation of N′-arylthiocarbamoyl-N,N-dialkylamidines and their synthetic utilities

Treatment of 5-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-5H-1,2,3-dithiazoles (2) with NaOH in aqueous EtOH at room temperature gave N′-arylthiocarbamoyl-N,N-dialkylamidines (3) in good to excellent yields. The reaction of 3 with sulfur monochloride, thiophosgene, thionyl chloride, sulfuryl chloride, N-phenylimidoyl dichloride, and phthaloyl chloride in CH₂Cl₂ gave 2, 5-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-Δ³-thiazoline-2-thiones (5), 5-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-5H-2-oxo-1,2,3-dithiazoles (6), 5-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-5H-2,2-dioxo-1,2,3-dithiazoles (7), 5-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-2-(phenylimino)-Δ³-thiazolines (8), and 3-(arylimino)-4-(dialkylamino)-2,5-benzothiazocine-1,6-diones (10) as major products, respectively.     

N-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines, derivatives of mono- and disaccharides, and their use for the preparation of carboxylic acid glycoconjugates

A convenient preparative procedure was developed for the synthesis ofN-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines, derivatives of monosaccharides (d-galactose,d-mannose,l-fucose, andN-acetyl-d-glucosamine) and disaccharides (lactose, melibiose, cellobiose, and maltose). These compounds were demonstrated to be useful for the preparation of glycoconjugates of biologically active compounds containing the carboxy group (nicotinic, orotic, kynurenic, and indoleacetic acids). Synthetic pathways were developed for conversions ofN-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines into derivatives containing the carboxy group with the use of malonic andl-tartaric acid derivatives.

Reactions of cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone,and their derivatives with α-hydroxyethyl radicals

The interaction of cyclopentanone, 2-cyclopentenone, 1,3-cyclopentanedione, 3-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione, γ-butyrolactone, 2(5H)-furanone, ascorbic acid, and 5,6-O-isopropylidenyl-2,3-O-dimethylascorbic acid with α-hydroxyethyl radicals (α-HER) generated during the radiolysis of deaerated ethanol has been studied in the continuous irradiation mode. The test compounds, except γ-butyrolactone, oxidize α-HER. 2(5H)-Furanone and 2-cyclopentenone give hydroxyethylation products via the free-radical chain mechanism. In contrast to 2(5H)-furanone and 2-cyclopentenone, ascorbic and 5,6-O-isopropylidenyl-2,3-O-dimethyl-L-ascorbic acids are weaker oxidants for α-HER and attach these radicals at the multiple carbon-carbon bonds.     

Dimethylaluminium iminophosphoranylenamides and iminophosphoranylanilides: synthesis, characterisation, and their controlled ring-opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone

A series of aluminium iminophosphoranylenamide complexes, [Me(2)Al{N(Ar)C(Ph)=CHP(Ph(2))=N-Ar(1)}] (Ar = Ph, Ar(1) = p-MeC(6)H(4) (9); Ar = Ph, Ar(1) = o-ClC(6)H(4) (10); Ar = Ph, Ar(1) = o-FC(6)H(4) (11); Ar = p-MeC(6)H(4), Ar(1) = o-FC(6)H(4) (12)), were synthesised by the reactions of ArN=C(Ph)CH(2)P(Ph(2))=NAr(1) (5-8) with AlMe(3) in toluene. Similar reactions between o-{ArN=P(Ph(2))}C(6)H(4)NHC(Ph)=CHP(Ph(2))=NAr (Ar = p-MeC(6)H(4), 13), and AlMe(3) in toluene generates aluminium iminophosphoranylanilide, 14. All new compounds were characterised by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of complexes 9 and 14 were further characterised by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. In the presence of benzyl alcohol (BnOH) each of the complexes is catalytically active for the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL), and complex 14 has the highest activity among them.

Highly regioselective transformations of the acyclic α,ω-terpenediols and their diacetates to the monoacetates using lipase were accomplished. The acetylation of the α,ω-terpenediols gave regioselectively the ω-monoacetates 3, whereas the α-monoacetates 2 were obtained by hydrolysis of the α,ω-diacetates.

Synthesis and structure of divalent thulium borohydrides, and their application in ε-caprolactone polymerisation

The new divalent thulium compound [Tm(BH(4))(2)(DME)(2)] could be prepared by reduction of [Tm(BH(4))(3)(THF)(3)] or from TmI(2) and KBH(4). It was used as a precursor to the divalent [(Tp(tBu,Me))Tm(BH(4))(THF)] by reaction with potassium tris(2-tBu-4-Me)pyrazolylborate (KTp(tBu,Me)). Both Tm(II) compounds were found active as ε-caprolactone polymerisation catalysts.     

Design and development of several polymeric metal–organic frameworks,spectral characterization,and their antimicrobial activity

Coordination polymers were obtained by the reaction of metal acetates, M(CH₃COO)₂·xH₂O {where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)} with AFP ligand (AFP = 5,5'-(piperazine-1,4-diylbis(methylene))bis(2-aminobenzoic acid). The AFP ligand was prepared by the one-pot, two-step reaction of formaldehyde, 2-aminobenzoic acid, and piperazine. Structural and spectroscopic properties have been studied by elemental, spectral (FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and UV–vis), and thermogravimetric analysis. UV–vis spectra and magnetic moment values indicate that Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) polymer–metal complexes are octahedral, while Cu(II) and Zn(II) polymer–metal complexes are distorted octahedral and tetrahedral, respectively. The analytical data confirmed that the coordination polymers of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) are coordinated with two water molecules, which are further supported by infrared spectra and thermogravimetric analysis data. The prepared polymer–metal complexes showed good antibacterial activities against all tested microorganisms; however, the AFP ligand was also found to be effective, but relatively less than their polymer–metal complexes. Along with antibacterial activity, all the polymer–metal complexes exhibit significant antifungal activity against most of the tested fungal strains. The results of antimicrobial activity reveals that the AFP–Cu(II) showed the highest antibacterial and antifungal activity than other polymer–metal complexes.
