The corresponding N₁-(2-furoylmethyl) and N₁-(5-nitro-2-furoylmethyl) derivatives of uracil and its 5-substituted derivatives were obtained by the reaction of 2-bromo- and 5-nitro-2-bromoacetylfurans with uracil, 5-fluorouracil, and thymine. The structures of these compounds as N₁-substituted uracils were proved by a study of the UV spectra at various pH values. The computational method of expanding the UV spectra into individual bands was used.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1268–1270, September, 1971.

In addition the sensitivities towards impact, friction and electrical discharge were tested using the BAM drophammer, a friction tester as well as a small scale electrical discharge device.     

Nucleoside und Nucleotide. Teil 16. Verhalten von 1-(2′-Desoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)-pyrimidinon-5′-triphosphat, 1-(2′-Desoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)pyridinon-5′-triphosphat und 4-Amino-1-(2′-Desoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)-pyridinon-5′-triphosphat gegenüber DNA-Polymerase

Nucleosides and Nucleotides. Part 16. The Behaviour of 1-(2′-Deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-2(1H)-pyrimidinone-5′-triphosphate, 1-(2′-Deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl-2(1H))-pyridinone-5′-triphosphate and 4-Amino-1-(2′-desoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-2(1H)-pyridinone-5′-triphosphate towards DNA Polymerase The behaviour of nucleotide base analogs in the DNA synthesis in vitro was studied. The investigated nucleoside-5′-triphosphates 1-(2′-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)-pyrimidinone-5′-triphosphate (pppM_d), 1-(2′-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)-pyridinone-5′-triphosphate (pppII_d) and 4-amino-1-(2′-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H)-pyridinone-5′-triphosphate (pppZ_d) can be considered to be analogs of 2′-deoxy-cytidine-5′-triphosphate. However, their ability to undergo base pairing to the complementary guanine is decreased. When pppM_d, pppII_d or pppZ_d are substituted for pppC_d in the enzymatic synthesis of DNA by DNA polymerase no incorporation of these analogs is observed. They exhibit only a weak inhibition of the DNA synthesis. The mode of the inhibition is uncompetitive which shows that these nucleotide analogs cannot serve as substrates for the DNA polymerase.     

Convenient synthesis of (E)-5-aminoallyl-2′-deoxycytidine and some related derivatives

Preparation via the Heck reaction of 5-(E)-(3-trifluoroacetamidoallyl)-2′-deoxycytidine (3a) and some N4-formamidine protected derivatives is reported. Difficulties with coupling N-allyl-trifluoroacetamide to 5-iodo-2′-deoxycytidine were overcome by using Pd₂(dba)₃ as catalyst and temporary dimethylformamidine protection of the N4-amine of the nucleoside. Compound 3a was isolated with 60% overall yield by crystallization.

Diphosphaferrocene [(η⁵-tBuC₅H₄){η⁵-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 2 c ) was formed when (η⁵-tBuC₅H₄)(CO)₂FeBr was treated with (Me₃Si)₂P? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ in toluene at 60°C. Photolysis of molybdenum- and tungsten hexacarbonyl in the presence of [(η⁵-1,3-tBu₂C₅H₃){η⁵-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 2 b ) gave the pentacarbonylmetal adducts 8 (M = Mo) and 9 (M = W), respectively. A corresponding manganese derivative resulted from the photochemical reaction of 2 b and (MeC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃. Treatment of 2 b with Co₂(CO)₈ yielded trinuclear [(η⁵-1,3-tBu₂C₅H₃){η⁵-1,2-[Co₂(CO)₆]-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 11 ). Constitution and configuration of compounds 1 c, 2 c, 8 – 11 were determined by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C-, ³¹P-NMR, MS). In addition the molecular structure of 11 was established by single crystal X-ray analysis.

A reaction of 3-allyl- and 3-phenylthiohydantoins with 1,5-diphenyl- and 1-phenyl-substituted 3-formyl-2-pyrazolines was used to obtain a series of 5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-2-thioxotetrahydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones, the subsequent alkylation of which with methyl iodide or ethyl chloroacetate gave the corresponding 2-alkylthio-5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones in the yields from 30 to 77%. The oxidation of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-[(1,5-diphenylpyrazolin-3-yl)methylidene]-2-methylsulfanyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one with lead tetraacetate led to the corresponding pyrazole in 48% yield.

The key 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-5-yl acetates 3 were synthesized in high yields by cyclocondensation of 4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-carbaldehydes 1 with coumarin-3-acetic acids 2 under mild conditions. The reaction pathway involves aldol condensation and subsequent intramolecular lactonization to afford 2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene skeleton 3. Further treatment of acetates 3 with alcohols, water or nitrogen containing compounds led to 5-alkoxy-, 5-hydroxy- or 5-acylamino-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-ones 4-6 via nucleophilic substitution of acetyloxy group at C-5. Acetates and hydroxyl derivatives 3 and 5 undergo facile rearrangement in an acid medium yielding 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-b]chromen-2(10aH)-ones 7. Twelve prepared compounds were evaluated on their antineoplastic activities on 60 human tumour cell line panels in NCI USA.

Synthesis of isomeric 3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins and their S-methylated derivatives. Molecular and crystal structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoin and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one

Three procedures were used for the synthesis of -, , and -pyridyl-substituted (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins: the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin with the corresponding aldehyde in AcOH in the presence of AcONa, the two-step one-pot synthesis with the use of the same starting compounds, and three-component condensation of aryl isothiocyanate, glycine, and aldehyde in AcOH.
