A new synthesis of 3′-deoxy-3′-fluoroadenosine,a key intermediate of cyclic dinucleotide

A new synthesis of 3′-deoxy-3′-fluoroadenosine for use as an important intermediate of antitumor-active cyclic dinucleotide is disclosed. The synthesis started with the known 5-O-TBDPS-D-lyxofuranose 1,2-acetonides, which was first transformed into a fluorinated compound after the DAST reaction. Desilylation and acidic methanolysis were then finished in one pot. After a sequence of triflation, displacement by OBz as well as benzoylation, perbenzoylated 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-ribofuranoside was obtained, which would be transformed to 3′-deoxy-3′-fluoroadenosine as the key intermediate of cyclic dinucleotide after ammonolysis.

Desorption Behaviour of HF,HCFC-133a and HFC-134a on a Catalyst Supported on γ-AlF3

The desorption behaviour (desorption temperature and extent of desorption) of HF,HCFC-133a (CF₃CH₂Cl) and HFC-134a (CF₃CH₂F) on γ-AlF₃ or catalyst supported on γ-AlF₃ was studied using an adsorption apparatus and TG, DTA and DSC methods. On the basis of the results a reaction mechanism was proposed for the preparation of HFC-134a. The γ-AlF₃ employed for preparing the catalyst was expected to be stable below 550°C based on the crystalline phase transition temperature of γ-AlF₃.

Hydroacridines XXI [1]. 13C NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of the Stereoselectivities of Quaternizations of N-Alkyl Derivatives of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-Tetradecahydroacridine

Summary.  The stereoselectivities of the quaternization reactions of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine with methyl- and ethyl iodide as well as those of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine with methyl iodide were investigated using ¹³C NMR spectroscopy including ¹³C-labelling where appropriate. The methylations of both N-methyl amines occur by predominant (60% and 75%, respectively) equatorial approach, their ethylations occur sterospecifically by equatorial approach, and the methylations of the N-ethyl amines occur by highly stereoselective (> 90%) axial approach of the quaternizing reagent.

The Lewis basicity of nitrido complexes. Theoretical investigation of the structure and bonding of Cl2 (PH3)3ReN–X (X = BH3, BCl3, BBr3, AlH3, AlCl3, AlBr3, GaH3, GaCl3, GaBr3, O, S, Se, Te)

Quantum chemical calculations using gradient-corrected density functional theory (B3LYP) and ab initio methods at the MP2 level are reported for the geometries and bond energies of the nitrido complexes Cl₂ (PH₃)₃ReN–X (X = BH₃, BCl₃, BBr₃, AlH₃, AlCl₃, AlBr₃, GaH₃, GaCl₃, GaBr₃, O, S, Se, Te). The theoretical geometries are in excellent agreement with experimental values of related complexes which have larger phosphine ligands. The parent nitrido complex Cl₂(PH₃)₃ReN is a very strong Lewis base. The calculated bond dissociation energy of Cl₂(PH₃)₃ReN–AlCl₃ is D _e = 43.7 kcal/mol, which is nearly as high as the bond energy of Me₃N–AlCl₃. The donor-acceptor bonds of the other Cl₂(PH₃)₃ReN–AY₃ complexes are also very strong. Even stronger N–X bonds are predicted for most of the nitrido-chalcogen complexes, which exhibit the trend X = O ≫ S > Se > Te. Analysis of the electronic structure shows that the parent compound Cl₂(PH₃)₃ReN has a Re–N triple bond. The Re–N σ bond is clearly polarized towards nitrogen, while the two π bonds are nearly nonpolar. The Re–N σ and π bonds become more polarized toward nitrogen when a Lewis acid or a chalcogen atom is attached. Bonding in AY₃ complexes should be described as Cl₂(PH₃)₃ReE≡N→AY₃, while the chalcogen complexes should be written with double bonds Cl₂(PH₃)₃Re=N=X. The charge-decomposition analysis indicates that the nitrogen-chalcogen bonds of the heavier chalcogen complexes with X = S, Se, Te can also be interpreted as donor-acceptor bonds between the nitrido complex acting as a Lewis base and the chalcogen atom with an empty p(σ) orbital acting as a Lewis acid. The nitrido oxo complex Cl₂(PH₃)₃ Re=N=O has a covalent N–O double bond. Received: 27 July 1998 / Accepted: 26 October 1998 / Published online: 16 March 1999

Prokaryotic Expression, Purification, Antibody Production of a NH2 -Terminal Fragment of mCLCA3 Protein and Analysis of mClCA3 Protein Expression in Asthmatic Mouse Lung

mCLCA3 is a member of calcium activated chloride channel(CACC)family that may play an important role in mucin packaging and secretion in asthmatic and cystic fibrosis lung.To study the protein structure and expression of mCLCA3 in asthmatic mouse lung,an N-terminal 269 amino acid peptide of mCLCA3 was expressed in E.coli,purified to homogeneity and rabbit polyclonal antibodies against this peptide were generated.Immunohistochemistry of asthmatic mouse lung using the antibody indicated exclusive mCLCA3 expression in mucin granules of goblet cells in airway surface and lumen.Immunoblot analysis of lavage fluid from asthmatic mouse lung revealed a single 90 kDa protein form of mClCA3.The results demonstrate that the 90 kDa N-terminal peptide,neither the full-length protein nor the reported N-terminal 35 kDa cleaved form of mClCA3 is the major functional form involved in the packaging and exocytosis of mucin granules in asthmatic goblet cells.     

Isolation, Identification, and Culture Optimization of a Novel Glycinonitrile-Hydrolyzing Fungus—Fusarium oxysporum H3

Microbial transformation of glycinonitrile into glycine by nitrile hydrolase is of considerable interest to green chemistry. A novel fungus with high nitrile hydrolase was newly isolated from soil samples and identified as Fusarium oxysporum H3 through 18S ribosomal DNA, 28S ribosomal DNA, and the internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis, together with morphology characteristics. After primary optimization of culture conditions including pH, temperature, carbon/nitrogen sources, inducers, and metal ions, the enzyme activity was greatly increased from 326 to 4,313 U/L. The preferred carbon/nitrogen sources, inducer, and metal ions were glucose and yeast extract, caprolactam, and Cu(2+), Mn(2+), and Fe(2+), respectively. The maximum enzyme formation was obtained when F. oxysporum H3 was cultivated at 30 °C for 54 h with the initial pH of 7.2. There is scanty report about the optimization of nitrile hydrolase production from nitrile-converting fungus.     

Preparation of a novel,efficient, and recyclable magnetic catalyst,γ-Fe_2O_3@HAp-Ag nanoparticles,and a solvent- and halogen-free protocol for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives

In this protocol, Ag supported on the hydroxyapatite-core–shell magnetic γ-Fe_2O_3nanoparticles(γFe_2O_3@HAp-Ag NPs) as a novel, efficient, and magnetically recyclable catalyst is synthesized, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM). The use of the catalyst is described in the synthesis of coumarin derivatives by the Pechmann condensation of various phenols with β-ketoesters under solvent- and halogen-free conditions at 80℃.This novel and inexpensive method offers advantages, such as recyclability simple experimental protocol, short reaction time, minimal work-up procedure, and excellent yields of products, together with desirable, eco-friendly, green aspects by avoiding toxic elements and solvents, and ease of recovery from the reaction mixture using an external magnet.

Synthesis of 3-pyrrol-3′-yloxindoles with a carbamate function

By the reaction of methyl {4(3)-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)acetyl]phenyl} carbamates with ethyl 3-aminocrotonate at boiling in the mixture toluene-anhydrous ethanol, 2: 1, ethyl 5-{3(4)-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]phenyl}-2-methyl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates were obtained. The condensation of methyl {3(4)-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)acetyl] phenyl}carbamates with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of ammonium acetate and 20 mol% of 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride or 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate at boiling in anhydrous ethanol led to the formation of the corresponding 3-pyrrol-3′-yloxindoles with a carbamate function.     

Assessment of the absolute configuration of a series of (3R)-3-hydroxy-3-alkyl-β-lactams

The absolute stereochemistry of a series of (3R)-3-hydroxy-3-alkyl-β-lactams has been determined by circular dichroism and NMR spectroscopies. The sign of the circular dichroism band between 250 and 220 nm was related to the stereochemistry by applying the β-lactam sector rule. The NMR analysis unambiguously determines the relative configuration at C3 and C4 of the β-lactam ring. The reliability of the method has been proved by X-ray analysis of two of the examined compounds. The obtained results are in agreement with the mechanism proposed for the employed synthetic route.
