9-(2′,5′-Dimethyl-4′-pyridyl)fluorene in syntheses of fluorospirodihydrofuropyridine and pyridofluoranthene

1,2,5-Trimethyl-4-(9-fluorenylidene)piperidine, which is formed by condensation of fluorene with 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidone, is converted catalytically to 9(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)fluorene, from which 2-methylpyrido[4,5-a]fluoranthene and its demethylated analog were obtained by catalytic dehydrocyclization. Oxidation of 9-(2,5-dimethy1-4-pyridyl)fluorene gave 9-(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)9-fluorenol and fluorene-9-spiro-4-(6-oxo-2-carboxypyrido[4,5-c]-4-6-dihydrofuran). 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7-(9-fluorenyl)indolizine was synthesized by the Chichibabin method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1087–1090, August, 1978.

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Transformed steroids. 160. Reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β, 21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate and carbethoxyhydrazine

Conclusion The reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate in the presence of carbethoxyhydrazine proceeds by two competing paths: cisopening of the oxide ring by a -SCN ion at the C¹⁷ atom, and substitution of one of the methoxyl groups by -NCS ion. As a result 2,20-dicarbethoxyhydrazones of pregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one-[17,16-d]-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one and 20-methoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3-ol-[20,21-d]-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione are formed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 911–914, April, 1987.

1,1′-Disubstituted 2,2′-di(n-perfluoropropyl)-5,5′-bibenzimidazolyls

The synthesis of 4,4-di(methylamino)- and 4,4-dianilino-3,3-diaminobiphenyls is described. The condensation of the tetraaminobiphenyls mentioned with phenyl perfluorobutyrate has given, respectively, 1,1-dlmethyl- and 1,1-diphenyl-2,2-(n-perfluoropropyl)-5, 5-bibenzimidazolyls. A study of the thermal stability of the 2-perfluoroalkylbenzimidazoles has shown that the replacement of the hydrogen of the imino group in these compounds by a methyl or a phenyl radical considerably increases their heat stability.
