On mechanistic aspects of 5-deazaflavin dependent dehydrogenation of alcohol

The reaction of 5-deazaflavins with alcoholates was investigated and the direct hydride equivalent transfer from C₁ of alcoholates to C₅ of 5-deazaflavins was confirmed by chemical methods. 5-Alkoxy-10-butyl-3-methyl-5-deazaflavins were synthesized by treatment of 10-butyl-5-chloro-3-methyl-5-deazaflavin with the corresponding alcoholates. The 5-alkoxy-5-deazaflavins were reduced by sodium borodeuteride or sodium hydro-sulfite in deuterium oxide or monodeuteriomethanol to give 10-butyl-3-methyl-1,5-dihydro-5-deazaflavin-5,5-D₂ exclusively. 3,10-Dimethyl-5-deazaflavin radical anion was detected by esr technique on treatment of 3,10-dimethyl-5-deazaflavin with potassium in DMF. From the above reactions, a mechanism of 5-deazaflavin dependent dehydrogenation of alcoholate was proposed.     

Formation of carbon-carbon single bonds from isocyanates and cyclic pentaoxyphosphoranes—VI : Synthesis of 4-oxazolones and 4-thiazolones,and a new type of chapman rearrangement

The reaction of 4,5-dimethyl-2,2,2-trimethoxy-2,2-dihydro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholene with carbomethoxy, carbopropoxy and N,N-diphenylcarbamyl isocyanates yields, respectively, 2-methoxy-, 2-propoxy- and 2- diphenylamino-5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-oxazolin-4-one. The reaction with carbophenoxy isocyanate gives two products in a proportion which depends on experimental conditions: 2-phenoxy-5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-oxalin-4-one (1:1 stoichiometry) and 1,3-dicarbophenoxy-5-acetyl-5-methyl-hydantoin (1:2 stoichiometry). The 2-substituted 4- oxazolones are hydrolyzed to 5-acetyl-5-methyl-oxazolidin-2,4-dione. The alkyl group of the 2-alkoxy-4-oxazolones migrates to the adjacent nitrogen to give 3-alkyl-5-acetyl-5-methyl-oxazolidin-2,4-diones. The dioxaphospholene reacts with 2-substituted 2-thiazolin-4,5-diones to give 2-substituted 5-acetyl-5-methyl-2-thiazolin-4-ones, including rhodanine derivatives.     

The effect of the nature of the substituent on the structure of a 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one ring

A series of 5-aryl(thienyl) substituted 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones has been synthesized. The molecular structures of 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-, 5-(5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophen-2-yl)-, 5-(5-ethyl-2-ethylsulfanylthiophen-3-yl)-, and 5-(5-methylsulfonylthiophen-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones have been investigated by X-ray analysis. The thiophene and oxathiazolone fragments are coplanar. The geometric parameters of the oxathiazolone ring are discussed. Electron acceptor substituents in the para position of the benzene ring and in the 5 position of the thiophene ring have the greatest effect on the system conjugation in the oxathiazolone ring.     

Synthesis and characterization of six-arm star-shaped liquid crystalline cyclotriphosphazenes

<正>The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of a new class of liquid crystalline cyclotriphosphazenes with rigid cyanostilbene groups and flexible alkoxy groups are reported.The thermal behaviors of cyclotriphosphazene derivatives 5a-5d are studied by the means of differential scanning calorimetry,polarizing optical microscopy.Nematic phases were observed in compounds 5a-5d both on heating and cooling.The clear temperatures of compounds 5a-5d slightly increased with increasing length of terminal alkyl chain.Compounds 5a-5d showed different mesogenic region from minimum 5℃to maximum 142℃.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Aqueous Solutions of Some Halo and Amino Derivatives of Uracil

Apparent molar volumes were experimentally determined at 25, 35, and 45°Cfor aqueous solutions of uracil, 5-fluorouracil, 5-chlorouracil, 6-chlorouracil,5-bromouracil, 5-iodouracil, 5-aminouracil, 6-aminouracil,6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, and 5-nitrouracil. The solubility of each compound in water was measuredat 25°C. Partial molar volumes and structural parameters of the moleculesinvestigated were determined. The relations between these data and solubility andpolarity were found and discussed. The partial molar volumes for halo derivativesand 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil increase, with increasing temperature whereasthose for 5-aminouracil, 6-aminouracil, and 5-nitrouracil remain constant withinthe limit of experimental error.

Macrocyclic amines as catalysts of the hydrolysis of the triphosphate bridge of the mRNA 5'-cap structure

The reactions of a 5'-cap model compound P1-(7-methylguanosine) P3-guanosine 5',5'-triphosphate, m7GpppG, were studied in the presence of three different macrocyclic amines (2-4) under neutral conditions. The only products observed in the absence of the macrocycles resulted from the base-catalysed imidazole ring-opening and the acid-catalysed cleavage of the N7-methylguanosine base, whereas in the presence of these catalysts hydrolysis of the triphosphate bridge predominated. The latter reaction yielded guanosine 5'-monophosphate, guanosine 5'-diphosphate, 7-methylguanosine 5'-monophosphate and 7-methylguanosine 5'-diphosphate as the initial products, indicating that both of the phosphoric anhydride bonds were cleaved. The overall catalytic activity of all three macrocycles was comparable. The hydrolysis to guanosine 5'-diphosphate and 7-methylguanosine 5'-monophosphate was slightly more favoured than the cleavage to yield guanosine 5'-monophosphate and 7-methylguanosine diphosphate. All the macrocycles also enhanced the subsequent hydrolysis of the nucleoside diphosphates, 2 being more efficient than 3 and 4.     

Effect of water on the performance of Pd-ZSM-5 catalysts for the combustion of methane

Palladium-based catalysts were prepared using impregnation （I） and ion-exchange method （E） with ZSM-5 as support. Pd-ZSM-5（I） and Pd-ZSM-5（E） catalysts presented the high activity for the combustion of methane. The order of activity was consistent with Brcnsted acidity of the catalysts： Pd-ZSM-5（I）〉Pd-ZSM-5（E）. It was shown by FT-IR that methane was adsorbed on the acidic bridging hydroxyl groups of ZSM-5-supported Pd catalysts. The effect of water on the activity of Pd-ZSM-5 was investigated. The inhibition effect of water on the conversion of methane was observed. However, water promoted the stability of Pd-ZSM-5 obviously during extended time periods. XPS measurement showed that Pd/Si ratio near the surface of Pd-ZSM-5（E） decreased more pronouncedly with time in dry stream than that of Pd-ZSM-5（I）, this is attributed to the dispersion of Pd into the micropores. The addition of water, however, retarded Pd dispersion. And high partial pressure of methane reduced this effect of water vapor. The decrease in activity during the stability test can be explained on the basis of the reduction of Pd/Si ratio.     

Simultaneous HPLC determination of 5-fluorouracil and its metabolites in plasma of cancer patients

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) is a commonly used anticancer agent for treatment of solid tumours. Certain studies have reported conflicting results between individual plasma concentration levels and toxicity or therapeutic effects. For this reasons some authors proposed to evaluate the plasma levels of 5-Fu metabolites 5-fluorouridine, 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-uracil. The aim of the present work is to develop and validate a new HPLC method simultaneously determining 5-fluorouracil and its three metabolites, to be used to study the plasma levels, therapeutic effects and toxicity in cancer patients. The analytes were separated on a 4.6 x 250 mm ODS1 (5 micro m) not end-capped column, operating at room temperature. Elution was performed under isocratic conditions, employing a 1.5 mM K(3)PO(4) mobile phase (pH 5). 5-Bromo-5,6-dihydro-uracil was used as internal standard. The limits of quantitation were 0.5 micro g/mL for 5-fluorouracil, 1 micro g/mL for 5-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-uracil, 3 micro g/mL for 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-fluorouridine; the stability, recovery, linearity, accuracy and specificity of the compounds were evaluated according to the criteria widely accepted. Using this method we measured plasma samples of 18 cancer patients treated with folinic acid (100 mg/m(2)) by intravenous administration, followed by an i.v. bolus of 5-Fu (400 mg/m(2)). The concentration levels of 5-fluorouracil and for 5-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-uracil were detectable in all the subjects while 5-fluorouridine and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine were present only in eight patients.     

Isolation of aureol from Smenospongia sp. and cytotoxic activity of some aureol derivatives

The sesquiterpene aureol (1) was isolated by chromatographic fractionation of a non-polar extract from Smenospongia sp. Methylation of aureol yielded 5'-O-methyl-aureol (2) while the prepared acylation products of aureol were 5'-O-acetyl-aureol (3), 5'-O-benzoyl-aureol (4), 5'-O-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-aureol (5), 5'-O-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-aureol (6), 5'-O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-aureol (7), 5'-O-nicotinoyl-aureol (8), aureol-N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate (9), 5'-O-(2-furoylcarbonyl)-aureol (10), 5'-O-(2-thienoylcarbonyl-aureol (11). The structures of aureol as well as its ten derivatives were established through spectral analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the eleven compounds were evaluated against Hepa59T/VGH, KB and Hela tumor cell lines.     

Synthesis of 1- and 3-arylcarbonyl derivatives of 5-fluorouracil

4′-Substituted 1-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of the potassium salt of 5-fluorouracil with one equivalent of aryl acid chloride in acetonitrile. 4′-Substituted 3-arylcar-bonyl-5-fluorouracil derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of 5-fluorouracil with 3 equivalents of the aryl acid chloride in pyridine and the subsequent hydrolysis of the 1,3-diarylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil derivatives in situ with a small amount of water. If a large amount of water were used in the second step, the 1,3-diarylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil precipitated before it hydrolyzed. The melting behaviors of both the 1-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil and 3-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil series suggested that thermal decomposition or rearrangement occurred on heating. The position of the C⁶-H absorption in the ¹H nmr spectra of 1-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils was 0.14 to 0.23 ppm farther downfield than that of the corresponding 3-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils while that of the 1,3-diarylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils was even farther downfield. The Rf values of 1-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils were significantly greater (0.23 to 0.41) than those of the corresponding 3-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils, while that of 1,3-diarylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracil was slightly greater than that of 1-arylcarbonyl-5-fluorouracils.     

二茂铁的同步辐射光电离

The vacuum ultraviolet photoionization of ferrocene has been studied by using synchrotron radiation and a time-of-flight（TOF）mass spectrometer. The photoionization TOF mass spectrum and photoionization efficiency （PIE）curves of some ions were measured. VUV absorption by ferrocene results in Fe（C5H5）2+,FeC5H5+,Fe+,FeC3H3+,FeC3H+,C10H9+,C10H8+ and C5H6+. The ionization potential（IP）of ferrocene is determined to be （6.78±0.05）eV. The appearance potential（AP）of the fragment FeC5H5+ was measured to be（13.40±0.10）eV. In addition,theoretical calculations with the density functional method B3LYP and the basis set 6-31G（d）have been carried out. The calculation result shows that the ionization potential of ferrocene is 6.16 eV,which is smaller than that from the experiment because the ionization potential from calculation is adiabatic value and the experimental result is vertical value. Due to the limited available computational cost,the case of the electron spin S=1/2 for Fe is only considered,which may lead to some low precision in calculation. So the calculation result is just as references. The appearance potential of FeC5H5+ is 12.17 eV,which is also smaller than the experimental value. According to the experimental and calculation results,the bond energies of D0（FeC5H5+-C5H5）,D0（Fe+-C5H5）,D0（C5H5-Fe+-C5H5）have been evaluated and the possible channels of dissociation photoionization have been analyzed. Sequential elimination of C5H5 ligands is a major dissociation channel,but concerted elimination of two C5H5 ligands also takes place.     

稀土元素对腺嘌呤及鸟嘌呤单核苷酸的水解断裂作用

Mechanism of electrochemical reduction of 5-thio derivatives of 2(5H)-furanone

The anionoid elimination of the substituent from position 5 of the lactone ring is the predominant pathway of electrochemical reduction of 5-arylsulfanyl- and 5-arylsulfonyl-3,4-dichloro-2(5H)-furanones in acetonitrile. The contribution of the competing elimination of the chloride ion increases on going to 3,4-dichloro-5-ethylsulfanyl-2(5H)-furanone. An experimental criterion based on the morphology of cyclic voltammograms was proposed for identification of a particular pathway of electroreduction of 2(5H)-furanone derivatives.

     

ZSM-5／MOR复合分子筛催化剂对混合C4烃转化反应的催化性能

以ZSM-5/丝光沸石(MOR)复合分子筛为催化剂,对混合C4烃的催化转化反应进行了评价,并采用程序升温脱附和原位红外光谱技术对ZSM-5/MOR的酸性进行了表征. 结果表明,与ZSM-5相比, MOR具有很低的催化活性,但ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛具有较高的催化活性,随着ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中ZSM-5含量的增加, C4烃转化率稍有升高;在C4烃转化率大致相同的情况下,乙烯和丙烯的总选择性比较接近,但苯和甲苯的总收率却快速升高. 随着ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中ZSM-5含量的增加,弱酸和中强酸的酸量逐渐减少,强酸的酸量有所增加. 由于ZSM-5/MOR复合分子筛中MOR对ZSM-5起到分散作用而产生更多的L酸中心,且此L酸中心处于分子筛的外表面而具有较高的能量,导致苯和甲苯的总收率升高.

Application of sec-butanol to the derivatization of hydroxyfuranones.

This paper reports the use of sec-butanol for the derivatization of chlorinated hydroxyfuranones. The following hydroxyfuranones were investigated: 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, 3,4-dibromo-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, 3-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, and 3-chloro-4-methyl-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone. Their derivatization products were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The sec-butyl derivatives of the hydroxyfuranones investigated yield ions that are less abundant than those obtained for the corresponding isopropyl derivatives. However, sec-butyl derivatives are easily detectable in especially dirty matrixes because they produce double peaks in the chromatogram. The ion intensity of the first peak in the pair is lower than that of the second peak, but both are characterized by the same spectrum. The formation of multiple peaks is related to the formation of diastereoisomers during derivatization.

Reduction of bis

The reduction of symmetric, fully-substituted titanocene dichlorides bearing two pendant omega-alkenyl groups, [TiCl2(eta5-C5Me4R)2], R = CH(Me)CH= CH2 (1a). (CH2)2CH=CH2 (1b) and (CH2)3CH=CH2 (1c), by magnesium in tetrahydrofuran affords bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanacyclopentanes [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1: eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH(Me)CH(Ti)CH2CH(CH2(Ti))CH(Me)C5Me4]] (2a), [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1:eta5: eta5-C5Me4(CH2)2CH(Ti)(CH2)2CH(Ti)(CH2)2C5Me4]] (2b) and [Ti(IV)[eta1:eta1:eta5:eta5-C5Me4(CH2)2CH(Ti)CH(Me)CH(Me)CH(Ti)(CH2)2C5Me4]](2c), respectively, as the products of oxidative coupling of the double bonds across a titanocene intermediate. For the case of complex 1c, a product of a double bond isomerisation is obtained owing to a preferred formation of five-membered titanacycles. The reaction of the titanacyclopentanes with PbCl2 recovers starting materials 1a from 2a and 1b from 2b, but complex 2c affords, under the same conditions, an isomer of 1c with a shifted carbon - carbon double bond, [TiCl[eta5-C5Me4(CH2CH2CH=CHMe)]2] (1c'). The titanacycles 2a-c can be opened by HCl to give ansa-titanocene dichlorides ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH(Me)CH2CH2CH(Me)CH(Me)C5Me4]TiCl2] (3a), ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4(CH2)8C5Me4]TiCl2] (3b), along with a minor product ansa-[[eta5:eta5-C5Me4CH2CH=CH(CH2)5C5Me4]TiCl2] (3b'), and ansa-[[eta5:eta5-CsMe4(CH2)3CH(Me)CH(Me)CH=CHCH2C5Me4]TiCl2] (3c), respectively, with the bridging aliphatic chain consisting of five (3a) and eight (3b, 3b' and 3c) carbon atoms. The course of the acidolysis changes with the nature of the pendant group; while the cyclopentadienyl ring-linking carbon chains in 3a and 3b are fully saturated, compounds 3c and 3b' contain one asymetrically placed carbon-carbon double bond, which evidently arises from the beta-hydrogen elimination that follows the HCl addition.
