Coumarin composition of Seseli grandivittatum

Summary From the roots ofSeseli grandivittatum, together with -sitosterol and (–)-3R-decursinol, found in nature for the first time, and its angelate, we have isolated two new compounds which we have called grandivittin and grandivittinol.On the basis of IR, PMR, and mass spectra and chemical transformations, the structure of 3-senecioyloxy-3,4-dihydro-3R-xanthyletin is proposed for grandivittin, and 7-hydroxy-6-(3-hydroxy-2-senecioyloxyisopentyl) coumarin for grandivittinol.Leningrad Sanitary-Hygienic Medical Institute.

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. Ya. Karpeiskii for his constant interest in this research.     

Vanadyl ion complexes with nucleotides

Summary Complexes of adenosine-5-triphosphate, adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, cytidine-5-monophosphate and uridine-5-monophosphate with vanadyl ion, have been studied in the solid state by i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. All complexes have normal magnetic moments, very close to the spin-only values. From the i.r. spectra it is suggested that the vanadyl ion is interacting with adenosine-5-triphosphate, through the N-1 of the purine ring, with adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, through the N-7 of the purine ring, with cytidine-5-monophosphate through the N-3 of the pyrimidine ring, and most probably through the phosphate group with uridine-5-monophosphate. The complexes of vanadyl ion with the nucleotides are probably polymeric.     

Synthetic studies in the field of chlorobium chlorophyll

By the condensation of -halogenomethyl derivatives of pyrroles with -unsubstituted pyrroles the synthesis of the following unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes has been effected: 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIa), 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-diniethyl-3-n-propyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane(IIIb), 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIc), and 3-bromo-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIId). Hydrogenation of the unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes IIIa, b, c, and d has given the corresponding monocarboxylic acids IVa, b, c, and d. The formylation of the dipyrrolylmethanemonocarboxylic acid IVa has given 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-formyl-3,3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (V).For communication II, see [1].Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 1045–1047, August, 1970.     

Pyrimidines. 70. Relative reactivities of the chlorine atoms of 2,2′,4-trichloro-4′,5-dipyrimidinyl in its reaction with piperidine

2,2,4-Trichloro-6-phenyl-4,5-dipyrimidinyl, for which nucleophilic substitution with piperdine under various conditions was studied, was obtained from 2,2,4-trioxo-6-phenyl-1, 1,2,2,3,4-hexahydro-4,5-dipyrimidinyl. It is shown that there is an appreciable difference in the rates of substitution of the first, second, and third chlorine atoms, and this made it possible to obtain reaction products that contain one, two, and three piperidino groups. The chlorine atom in the 4 position is replaced initially, after which the chlorine atom in the 2 position undergoes substitution. The structures of the compounds were proved by chemical transformations and analysis of the PMR spectra.See [1] for communication 69.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 821–826, June, 1979.     

Investigations on the compatibility of milk fat fractions and lauric fats

The compatibility of a lauric fat with several milk fat fractions (MF) was investigated. The enthalpy of crystallization was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These values were related to the corresponding values calculated for an Ideal Blend. The different compatibility of the milk fat fractions with the lauric fat could be shown by this method very clearly.

A new vicinal-dioxime and its mono and trinuclear complexes containing the monoazatetraoxa macrocyclic moiety

Mononuclear [Co(HL)2LCl)], [Co(LBF2)2LCl] or [Cu-(HL)2] H2L = {N,N-bis (4-N-phenylaza [15]crown-5)diaminoglyoxime} and a trinuclear, [Cu(L)2(CuL)2](NO3)2, complex of the ligand were synthesized and characterized. The mononuclear copper(II) species coordinates to two copper(II) ions through the deprotonated oximate oxygens to yield a trinuclear structure cis-bridged by the oximate groups, with 1,10-phenanthroline as an end-cap ligand. The terminal copper adopts an essentially planar configuration with the nitrogen atoms of H2L. The structure of the ligand and its complexes is proposed and formulated according to the elemental analyses, 1H- and 13C-n.m.r, i.r. and m.s. spectral data.

Molecular orbital studies on nucleoside antibiotics X. Conformation of nebularine and isoguanosine

Summary Conformational properties of two nucleoside analogs, namely nebularine and isoguanosine have been investigated by using PCILO (Perturbative Configuration Interaction using Localized Orbitals) method. Nebularine (9--ribofurnosyl purine) is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside which is structurally similar to adenosine and it inhibits the growth of tumor cells and influenza B virus. Isoguanosine is one of the two naturally occurring analogs of guanosine. Both C2-endo and C3-endo sugar puckerings have been considered for both the molecules with preselected values of torsion angles around C2–O2 and C5–O5 bonds. The results indicate that nebularine has conformational preferences very similar to those of its parent nucleoside, adenosine; whereas the conformational properties of isoguanosine are very different from those of guanosine as well as adenosine. The important implications of these results have been discussed in terms of the biological activity of these molecules.     

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Synthese von 5-O-Aminosäurederivaten des Uridins als potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

Kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of flavonoid glycosides

Summary 1. In a study of the kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of flavone glycosides it has been found that derivatives of 3,3,4,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone hydrolyze faster than derivatives of 3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone and of 3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone.2. In the hydrolysis of diglycosides of 3,3,4,5,7-pentahydroxyflavones the maximum amount of intermediate product is formed after 2 min (3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone glycoside), and in the case of 3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone glycosides after 120–150 min.I.
