2‐Propynyl 2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐α‐d‐mannopyranoside

The 2‐propynyl group in the title compound, C₁₇H₂₂O₁₀, adopts an exoanomeric conformation, with the acetylenic group gauche with respect to position C1. Comparison of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts from solution and the solid state suggest that the acetylenic group also adopts a conformation anti to C1 in solution. The pyranose ring adopts a ⁴C₁ conformation. Of the three secondary O‐acetyl groups, that on position O4, flanked by two equatorial groups, adopts a syn conformation, in agreement with recent generalizations [González‐Outeiriño, Nasser & Anderson (2005). J. Org. Chem. 70 , 2486–2493]. The acetyl group on position O3 adopts a gauche conformation, also in agreement with the recent generalizations, but that on position O2 adopts a syn conformation, not in agreement with the recent generalizations.     

3,4,6‐Tri‐O‐acetyl‐1,2‐O‐[1‐(exo‐ethoxy)ethylidene]‐β‐d‐mannopyranose 0.11‐hydrate

The title compound, C₁₆H₂₄O₁₀·0.11H₂O, is a key intermediate in the synthesis of 2‐deoxy‐2‐[¹⁸F]fluoro‐d ‐glucose (¹⁸F‐FDG), which is the most widely used molecular‐imaging probe for positron emission tomography (PET). The crystal structure has two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometries. The pyranose ring adopts a ⁴C₁ conformation [Cremer–Pople puckering parameters: Q = 0.553 (2) Å, θ = 16.2 (2)° and ϕ = 290.4 (8)° for molecule A, and Q = 0.529 (2) Å, θ =15.3 (3)° and ϕ = 268.2 (9)° for molecule B], and the dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation. The chiral centre in the dioxolane ring, introduced during the synthesis of the compound, has an R configuration, with the ethoxy group exo to the mannopyranose ring. The asymmetric unit also contains one water molecule with a refined site‐occupancy factor of 0.222 (8), which bridges between molecules A and B via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

A 2,4-O-[(Z)-2-butenylene]-bridged glucopyranose: efficient construction of the bicyclic skeleton and its axial-rich twist-boat conformation

Synthesis and conformational analyses of 1-O-acetyl-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2,4-O-[(Z)-2-butenylene]-β-d-glucopyranose are described. The construction of the trioxabicyclo[6.3.1]dodecane skeleton of the compound was initiated from a ring-opened glucose, followed by the successive cyclization of first the nine-membered ring and then the six-membered ring. The pyranose of the compound was in ³S₁, an axial-rich twist-boat conformation. This result demonstrated an alternative method for the restriction of the pyranose into the axial-rich twist-boat conformation in contrast to the procedures that use bulky silyl protecting groups.     

A cobalt(III) compound of a 13‐membered cyclic tetra­amine: trans‐(12,12‐dimethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane)diisothio­cyanato­cobalt(III) tetra­isothio­cyanato­zinc(II) ethanol solvate

The title compound, [Co(NCS)₂(C₁₁H₂₆N₄)]₂[Zn(NCS)₄]·C₂H₅OH, has two similar cations with the Co^III atom coordinated in a planar fashion by the 13‐membered cyclic tetra­amine, in the 1R,4S,7R,10S configuration, and with trans isothio­cyanate ligands. The six‐membered chelate ring is in a chair conformation, with one axially and one equatorially oriented methyl substituent [mean Co—N = 1.948 (2) Å]. The `opposite' chelate ring (N<sup>4</sup> and N<sup>7</sup>) is in an eclipsed conformation [mean Co—N = 1.928 (2) Å], and the `side' chelate rings have gauche conformations. The mean Co—N_NCS distance is 1.928 (2) Å. Both cations have one Co—N—C group nearly linear and the other appreciably bent, with mean Co—N—C angles of 178.7 (1) and 160.4 (1)°, respectively. The [Zn(NCS)₄]²⁻ anion is approximately tetra­hedral, with Zn—N = 1.951 (1)–1.986 (1) Å, N—Zn—N = 104.5 (1)–111.9 (1)° and Zn—N—C = 152.5 (1)–179.4 (1)°. One NH group is hydrogen bonded to the ethanol O atom and the other NH groups are bonded to thio­cyanate S atoms, forming a network.

Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of 1, 2-Anhydro-3, 4-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose

Abstract

The title 1, 2-anhydro sugar (10) was synthesized from methyl 4, 6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside or from 1, 2-O-ethylidene-α-D-glucopyranose. The key intermediate for the synthesis was 2-O-acetyl-3, 4-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride (8)which was transformed into the target compound by ring closure with potassium tert-butoxide. Calculations by the modified Karplus equation from vicinal coupling constants of 10 suggested that the conformation of 10 was almost an ideal ⁴ H ₅ for the pyranose ring. Conformational analysis for the 1, 2-O-(R)-ethylidene intermediates 17 and 20 revealed that their pyranose ring basically adopted a B₂,₅ conformation.     

1‐(β‐d‐Erythrofuranos­yl)cytidine (β‐erythrocytidine)

1‐(β‐d ‐Erythrofuranosyl)cytidine, C₈H₁₁N₃O₄, (I), a derivative of β‐cytidine, (II), lacks an exocyclic hydroxy­methyl (–CH₂OH) substituent at C4′ and crystallizes in a global conformation different from that observed for (II). In (I), the β‐d ‐erythrofuranosyl ring assumes an E₃ conformation (C3′‐exo; S, i.e. south), and the N‐glycoside bond conformation is syn. In contrast, (II) contains a β‐d ‐ribofuranosyl ring in a ³T₂ conformation (N, i.e. north) and an anti‐N‐glycoside linkage. These crystallographic properties mimic those found in aqueous solution by NMR with respect to furan­ose conformation. Removal of the –CH₂OH group thus affects the global conformation of the aldofuranosyl ring. These results provide further support for S/syn–anti and N/anti correlations in pyrimidine nucleosides. The crystal structure of (I) was determined at 200 K.     

3‐Deoxy‐β‐d‐ribo‐hexopyranose (3‐deoxy‐β‐d‐glucopyranose)

The β‐pyranose form, (III), of 3‐deoxy‐d ‐ribo‐hexose (3‐deoxy‐d ‐glucose), C₆H₁₂O₅, crystallizes from water at 298 K in a slightly distorted ⁴C₁ chair conformation. Structural analyses of (III), β‐d ‐glucopyranose, (IV), and 2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐arabino‐hexopyranose (2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐glucopyranose), (V), show significantly different C—O bond torsions involving the anomeric carbon, with the H—C—O—H torsion angle approaching an eclipsed conformation in (III) (−10.9°) compared with 32.8 and 32.5° in (IV) and (V), respectively. Ring carbon deoxygenation significantly affects the endo‐ and exocyclic C—C and C—O bond lengths throughout the pyranose ring, with longer bonds generally observed in the monodeoxygenated species (III) and (V) compared with (IV). These structural changes are attributed to differences in exocyclic C—O bond conformations and/or hydrogen‐bonding patterns superimposed on the direct (intrinsic) effect of monodeoxygenation. The exocyclic hydroxymethyl conformation in (III) (gt) differs from that observed in (IV) and (V) (gg).     

5‐Phen­yl‐1,3,4‐thia­diazol‐2‐yl 2,3,4,6‐tetra­‐O‐acet­yl‐1‐thio‐β‐d‐glucopyran­oside

The structure of the title compound, C₂₂H₂₄N₂O₉S₂, is described. This compound consists of a sugar ring and a heterocyclic base linked unusually by an S atom. The sugar is in a ⁴C₁ chair conformation and forms dihedral angles of 49.54 (4) and 33.42 (5)° with the thia­diazole and phen­yl rings, respectively. The S atom occupies an equatorial position of the sugar ring and lies 1.807 (2) Å out of the corresponding mean plane.     

1,7‐Dideaza‐2′‐deoxy‐6‐nitronebularine: a pyrrolo[2,3‐b]pyridine nucleoside with an intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilizing the syn conformation

The title compound [systematic name: 1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐D‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐4‐nitro‐1H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐b]pyridine], C₁₂H₁₃N₃O₅, forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the pyridine N atom as acceptor and the 5′‐hydroxy group of the sugar residue as donor. Consequently, the N‐glycosylic bond exhibits a syn conformation, with a χ torsion angle of 61.6 (2)°, and the pentofuranosyl residue adopts a C2′‐endo envelope conformation (²E, S‐type), with P = 162.1 (1)° and τ_m = 36.2 (1)°. The orientation of the exocyclic C4′—C5′ bond is +sc (gauche, gauche), with a torsion angle γ = 49.1 (2)°. The title nucleoside forms an ordered and stacked three‐dimensional network. The pyrrole ring of one layer faces the pyridine ring of an adjacent layer. Additionally, intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal structure.     

The first crystal structure of an alkaline metal salt of thioglucose: potassium 1‐thio‐β‐D‐glucoside monohydrate

In the crystal structure of the title hydrated salt, poly[(μ₂‐aqua)(μ₄‐1‐sulfido‐β‐D‐glucoside)potassium], [K(C₆H₁₁O₅S)(H₂O)]_n or K⁺·C₆H₁₁O₅S⁻·H₂O, each thioglucoside anion coordinates to four K⁺ cations through three of its four hydroxy groups, forming a three‐dimensional polymeric structure. The negatively charged thiolate group in each anion does not form an efficient coordination bond with a K⁺ cation, but forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds with four hydroxy groups, which appears to sustain the polymeric structure. The Cremer–Pople parameters for the thioglucoside ligand (Q = 0.575, θ = 8.233° and ϕ = 353.773°) indicate a slight distortion of the pyranose ring.     

7‐Deaza‐2′‐deoxyinosine: a nucleoside showing ambiguous base‐pairing properties against the four canonical DNA constituents

The title compound [systematic name: 7‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐3,7‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐one], C₁₁H₁₃N₃O₄, represents an acid‐stable derivative of 2′‐deoxyinosine. It exhibits an anti glycosylic bond conformation, with a χ torsion angle of 113.30 (15)°. The furanose moiety adopts an S‐type sugar pucker ⁴T₃, with P = 221.8 (1)° and τ_m = 40.4 (1)°. The conformation at the exocyclic C4′—C5′ bond of the furanose ring is ap (trans), with γ = 167.14 (10)°. The extended structure forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network involving O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The title compound forms an uncommon hydrogen bond between a CH group of the pyrrole system and the ring O atom of the sugar moiety of a neighbouring molecule.     

The crystal structure of 9‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐2‐ethyl‐1‐(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,2‐d][1,5]‐benzoxazepinium hexachloroantimonate

The title compound 4 , i.e. 9‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐2‐ethyl‐1‐(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,2‐d]‐[1,5]benzoxazepinium hexachloroantimonate, is a novel 6‐7‐5 tricyclic heterocycle. C₁₈H₁₄Cl₄N₃O·SbCJ₆, M = 764.61, P2₁/c(#14), a = 13.457(4), b = 11.583(2), c = 18.992(3) Å α = 90, β = 110.11(1)°, Z = 4, V = 2780(1) ų, D_c = 1.827 g/cc, μ (MoKα) = 19.69 cm^?1, F(000) = 1488.00, T = 293 K, R_int = 0.055 for 3094 independent reflections with I>3.00σ(I). The five‐membered heterocyclic ring is nearly planar, with the trichlorophenyl ring at N(2) almost perpendicular to it. However, the seven‐membered ring is not planar, but adopts a twist‐boat conformation.     

Methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-deoxy-4-methoxy­amino-α-d-gluco­pyran­oside

The crystalline-state conformation of the title compound, C₂₉H₂₉NO₉, has been established unequivocally. The R absolute configuration is observed at the 4-methoxy­amino moiety and the pyranose ring adopts essentially a perfect ⁴C₁ chair. The torsion angle of the exocyclic hydroxy­methyl group is shown to be gauche–gauche with respect to O1 and C4, respectively. The conformation along the methoxy­amino bond is consistent with that observed for calicheamicin γ₁^I.     

7‐Amino‐1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]pyrimidine: an 8‐azaadenine nucleoside with the nucleobase in a syn conformation

The title compound, C₉H₁₂N₆O₃, shows a syn‐glycosylic bond orientation [χ = 64.17 (16)°]. The 2′‐deoxyfuranosyl moiety exhibits an unusual C1′‐exo–O4′‐endo (₁T⁰; S‐type) sugar pucker, with P = 111.5 (1)° and τ_m = 40.3 (1)°. The conformation at the exocyclic C4′—C5′ bond is +sc (gauche), with γ = 64.4 (1)°. The two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network is built from intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds. An intramolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond, with an amino N—H group as hydrogen‐bond donor and the ring and hydroxymethyl O atoms of the sugar moiety as acceptors, constrains the overall conformation of the nucleoside.     

(E)‐2‐[2‐(1‐Naphthyl)­vinyl]‐3‐tosyl‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zole

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₁NO₂S₂, which consists of a benzo­thia­zole skeleton with α‐naphthyl­vinyl and tosyl groups at positions 2 and 3, respectively, was prepared by palladium–copper‐catalyzed heteroannulation. The E configuration of the mol­ecule about the vinyl C=C bond is established by the benzothiazole–naphthyl C—C—C—C torsion angle of 177.5 (4)°. The five‐membered heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the Csp³ atom 0.380 (6) Å from the C₂NS plane. The two S—C [1.751 (4) and 1.838 (4) Å] and two N—C [1.426 (5) and 1.482 (5) Å] bond lengths in the thia­zole ring differ significantly.     

2,2′‐Anhydro‐1‐(3′,5′‐di‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)uracil,a cyclouridine nucleoside with a C4′‐endo furanosyl conformation

2,2′‐Anhydro‐1‐(3′,5′‐di‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)uracil, C₁₃H₁₄N₂O₇, was obtained by refluxing 2′,3′‐O‐(methoxymethylene)uridine in acetic anhydride. The structure exhibits a nearly perfect C4′‐endo (⁴E) conformation. The best four‐atom plane of the five‐membered furanose ring is O—C—C—C, involving the C atoms of the fused five‐membered oxazolidine ring, and the torsion angle is only −0.4 (2)°. The oxazolidine ring is essentially coplanar with the six‐membered uracil ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (5) Å and dihedral angle = −3.2 (3)°]. The conformation at the exocyclic C—C bond is gauche–trans which is stabilized by various C—H...π and C—O...π interactions.     

Dorzolamide hydro­chloride: an anti­glaucoma agent

Dorzolamide hydro­chloride [systematic name: (4S)‐trans‐4‐ethyl­ammonio‐6‐methyl‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐thieno[2,3‐b]thio­pyran‐2‐sulfonamide 7,7‐dioxide chloride], C₁₀H₁₇N₂O₄S₂⁺·Cl⁻, belongs to a class of drugs called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The ethyl­ammonio side chain is in an extended conformation and is protonated at the N atom, which is hydrogen bonded to the Cl⁻ anion. The dihedral angle between the planes of the thio­phene ring and the sulfonamide group is 80.7 (1)°. A comparison is made with the dorzolamide bound in human carbonic anhydrase in the solid state. Hydrogen bonding is mediated by Cl⁻ anions, resulting in indirect connectivity between the mol­ecules.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ab initio</Emphasis> Study of Structural and Conformational Properties of Five- to Nine-Membered Cyclic 1,2,3-Trienes

Summary.  The structures and relative energies of fundamental conformations of cyclopenta-1,2,3-triene, cyclohexa-1,2,3-triene, cylohepta-1,2,3-triene, cycloocta-1,2,3-triene, and cyclonona-1,2,3-triene were calculated by the HF/6-31G^* and MP2/6-31G^*//HF/6-31G^* methods. Only a C _2v symmetric planar conformation is available to cyclopenta-1,2,3-triene and cyclohexa-1,2,3-triene. The calculated energy barrier for ring inversion of the C _S symmetric puckerd conformation of cyclohepta-1,2,3-triene via the planar geometry is 62.2 kJ·mol⁻¹. The C ₂ symmetric twist conformation of cycloocta-1,2,3-triene was calculated to be the most stable one. Conformational racemization of the twist form takes place via the C _S symmetric half-chair geometry, which is by 60.8 kJ·mol⁻¹ less stable than the twist conformer. The C _S symmetric chair and unsymmetrical twist-boat conformations of cyclonona-1,2,3-triene were calculated to have similar energies; their interconversion takes place via an unsymmetrical low-energy (18.4 kJ·mol⁻¹) transition state. The twist (C ₂) and boat (C _S) geometries of cyclonona-1,2,3-triene are higher in energy by 13.2 and 33.9 kJ·mol⁻¹, respectively. Ring inversion in chair and twist-boat conformations takes place via a twist form as intermediate and requires 33.6 kJ·mol⁻¹. Corresponding author.
