A facile,catalyst-free synthesis of new polycyclic pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone derivatives

A convenient and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of a new ring system, pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone, via two-component coupling reaction followed by base mediated intramolecular cyclization. Single-pot synthesis replacing the two step process has also been successfully carried out. A series of polycyclic pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone derivatives have been obtained by employing the procedure along with some fused pyrrol-1-ylamine system. The products were formed very rapidly in catalyst free condition in a good yield (up to 75%) and also it had tolerance to a wide scope of substrates.     

Label-free fluorescent molecular beacon based on a small fluorescent molecule non-covalently bound to the intentional gap site in the stem moiety

A label-free fluorescent molecular beacon (MB) based on a fluorescent molecule, 5,6,7-trimethyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-ylamine (ATMND) which is non-covalently bound to the intentional gap site in the stem moiety of the label-free MB, was developed. In the absence of a cDNA, ATMND fluorescence is significantly quenched because it binds to the unpaired cytosine at the gap site by hydrogen bonding. As a result, the label-free MB shows almost no fluorescence. Upon hybridization with cDNA, the label-free MB undergoes a conformational change to destroy the gap site. This results in an effective fluorescent enhancement because of the release of the ATMND from the gap site to the solution. Fluorescence titration shows that ATMND strongly binds to the cytosine at the gap site (K₁₁ > 10⁶). Circular-dichroism spectroscopy indicates that the binding of ATMND at the gap site of the stem moiety does not induce a significant conformational change to the hairpin DNA. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescent intensity of the label-free MB increases with an increase in cDNA concentration from 50 nM to 1.5 μM. A detection limit of 20 nM cDNA was achieved. A single mismatched target ss-DNA can be effectively discriminated from cDNA. The advantage of the label-free MB is that both its ends can be left free to introduce other useful functionalities. In addition, the label-free MB synthesis introduced in this paper is relatively simple and inexpensive because no label is required.

The reactions of M₂(CO)₁₀ (M = Mn, Re) withtrans-1-aryl-3-cyanoprop-2-en-1-ones in the presence of Me₃NO proceed with replacement of the CO ligand and lead to complexeseq-(1-aryl-3-cyanoprop-2-en-1-on)nonacarbonyldimanganese andeq-(1-aryl-3-cyanoprop-2-en-1-on)nonacarbonyldirhenium complexes where the metals are bonded with the ligand through the nitrogen atom of the cyanogroup.

1-Amino-2-hydrazinopyrimidin-N-ylides. Unusual tautomers of 1-aminopyrimidin-2-hydrazones

Summary 1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidinium iodides3 have been synthesized by reaction of 3-isothiocyanato-2-propeniminium perchlorates1 with hydrazines and subsequent methylation of the resulting 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinthiones2. Reaction of3 with hydrazine causes substitution of the methylthio group and results in the formation of deeply coloured 1-amino-2-hydrazinopyrimidin-N-ylides5 as unusual tautomers of the commonly expected 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazones4. The structure of these N-ylides has been proved by spectroscopic methods as well as by subsequent transformation to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidinium salts9 by dehydration or to pyrimidotriazinium salt10 c by oxidation. Reaction of N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidinium salt7 a with hydrazine also causes substitution of methylthiol, the resulting orange N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazone8 a, however, cannot tautomerize to N-ylides.

Die Struktur dieser Ylide5 wird durch spektroskopische Methoden sowie durch nachfolgende Dehydratisierung zu 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidiniumsalzen9 bzw. Oxydation zum Pyrimidotriaziniumsalz10 c bewiesen. Die Reaktion des N,N-disubstituierten 1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidiniumsalzes7 a mit Hydrazin verläuft ebenfalls unter Substitution der Methylthiogruppe. Jedoch kann das gebildete orange gefärbte, N,N-disubstituierte 1-Amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazon8 a nicht zu einem N-Ylid tautomerisieren.

Liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of β-blocking agents with (1R,2R)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl isothiocyanate as chiral derivatizing agent

The applicability of (1R,2R)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propyl isothiocyanate [(R,R)-DANI] as a recently developed chiral derivatizing agent for the enantioseparation of a series of β-blockers is described.

Die Photoenolisierung,Autoxidation und Dimerisation von 2-Isobutyliden-1,3-indandion

The title compound,1, slowly decomposes in solution by autodixation, especially in daylight. The chemism of this photoinduced autoxidation has been investigated.Upon irradiation1 passes to the brick red isolable dienol2. The quantum yield is 0.3 at 313 nm in methanol. In solution an equilibrium is set up within several minutes between2 and the colorless deconjugated3. Unpolar or moderately polar solvents shift the equilibrium completely to3, whereas in highly polar solvents2 and3 coexist. In the dark the equilibrium12 (ca. 501 in methanol) is established very slowly.3 upon irradiation reacts further to dimer8. 2 instantaneously reacts with oxygen. With high oxygen concentrations, hydroperoxide9 is formed, with lower ones dehydrodimer10, inter alia.9 and10 may further form12, 14, and15. These reactions, together with ESR spectroscopy, point to a central role of the free radical13 both in the autoxidation and in the reaction1014.Basic catalysis sets up an equilibrium between1 and its dimer,17. The photoreaction12 has been investigated by sensitizing and quenching experiments.

Conformational Analysis,Infrared, and Fluorescence Spectra of 1-Phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and Related Tautomers: Experimental and Theoretical Study

Summary. Conformational analysis and frequency calculation were achieved for 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and its four tautomers: 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol, 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone, 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime, and 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol. Calculations were carried out at the Hartree–Fock (HF), Density Functional Theory (B3LYP), and the second-order M?ller–Plesset perturbation (MP2) levels of theory using 6-31G^* and 6-311G^** basis sets. Five conformers with no imaginary vibrational frequency were obtained by free rotations around three single bonds of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione-1-oxime: Ph–C(NOH)C(O)CH₃, PhC(NOH)–C(O)CH₃, and PhC(N–OH)C(O)CH₃. Similarly, eight structures with no imaginary vibrational frequency were encountered upon rotations around three single bonds of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol: Ph–C(NO)C(OH)CH₃, PhC(N–O)C(OH)CH₃, and PhC(NO)C(–OH)CH₃. In the same manner, six minima were found through rotations around three single bonds of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone: Ph–CH(NO)C(O)CH₃, PhCH(–NO)C(O)CH₃, and PhCH(NO)–C(O)CH₃. Also, two minima were found through rotations around four single bonds of 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime: Ph–C(NOH)C(OH)CH₂, PhC(N–OH)C(OH)CH₂, PhC(NOH)–C(OH)CH₂, and Ph-C(NOH)C(–OH)CH₂. Finally, two minima were found through rotations around four single bonds of 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol: Ph–CH(NO)C(OH)CH₂, PhCH(–NO)C(OH)CH₂, PhCH(NO)–C(OH)CH₂, and PhCH(NO)C(–OH)CH₂. Interconversions within the above sets of conformers were probed through scanning (one and/or two dimensional), and/or QST3 techniques. The order of the stability of global minima encountered was: 1,2-propandione-1-oxime > 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone > 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol > 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime > 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol. Hydrogen bonding appears significant in tautomers of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol and 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime. The CIS simulated λ_max for the first excited singlet state (S₁) of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime is 300.4 nm, which was comparable to its experimental λ_max of 312.0 nm. The calculated IR spectra of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and its tautomers were compared to the experimental spectra.
