3, 5-Dibromocomanic acid (3, 5-dibromo- -pyrone -2-carboxylic acid) VI and its ethyl ester, hitherto not described in the literature, are synthesized by the following route: diethyl acetonedioxalate (I) diethyl dibromochelidonate (III) (mono) ethyl dibromochelidonate (IV) diethyl 3, 5-dibromocomanate (V) VI. Direct bromination of diethyl bromochelidonate gives the ester III. 6-Bromocomenic acid and its ethyl ester are prepared, as well as 2-bromo-3-hydroxy - -pyrone. Bromocomanic acid (x-bromo--pyrone-2-carboxylic acid) XVI is synthesized by the following route: I (mono) ethyl chelidonate ethyl comanate comanic acid XVI.

Transformed steroids. 121. Synthesis of the δ-lactone of 3β-acetoxy-16α-hydroxy-6-oxo-24-nor-5α-chol-17(20)-en-23-oic acid

The synthesis of the ¹⁷⁽²⁰⁾-16 analog of natural chiogralactone is described. Attempts to introduce a 6-oxo group directly into the -lactone proved unsuccessful, since the first stage — saponification — took place with the formation of three products: the 3-hydroxy--lactone, the 3-hydroxy-²⁰⁽²²⁾-lactone, and the 15,17(20)-dienoic acid. The synthesis of the desired compound was effected from the ethyl ester of the 5,16-dienoic acid by the scheme 3-acetate3-tosylate6-hydroxy-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-5H--lactone. It has been shown that the cyclopropane ring in the 3,5-cyclosteroid -lactone is extremely stable under the conditions of acid treatments.N. D.

New data on the structure of laminaran fromChorda filum (L.) Lam. and reserve glucans from other brown algae

M-chains of highly branched (13),(16)--D-glucan (laminaran) isolated previously from the brown algaChorda filum contain 1-glucosylated and 1,6-bis-glucosylatedD-mannitol residues, as shown by methylation analysis and enzymolysis. The latter structural element is found in laminarans for the first time. Structural investigation of laminarans from six other brown algae shows that the polysaccharides consist predominantly of (13)-linked -D-glucopyranose residues with a small number of (16)-glycosidic bonds in chains and branching points. Mannitol residues was not detected in laminarans from twoCystoseira species.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1660–1664, September, 1993.
