Synthesis of N-substituted imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans

N-Substituted imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans were synthesized by phase-transfer catalyzed alkylation of imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxan salts with various alkylating agents. Acid hydrolysis of N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)imidazo[4,5-e]benzo-[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans gives the corresponding carboxylic acids. Structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and elemental anslysis.

Dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines. 4. Aminomethylation of alkyl substituted dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines and 5,6-dihydrodipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines

We have studied the aminomethylation reaction of alkyl substituted dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2,1-c]pyrazines and their 5,6-dihydro analogs using different aminomethylating agents. Use of alkoxydialkylaminomethanes (aminoacetals) as Mannich reagents leads to the highest yields of the aminomethylated dipyrrolopyrazines. The compounds prepared have been studied by mass spectrometry.For Communication 3, see [1].M. V. Lomonosov State University, Moscow 119899.

Bonding in [CuNRR’]<Subscript>4</Subscript> type clusters

Many polynuclear Cu(I) compounds have been synthesized, but the problem whether there is direct or no direct Cu-Cu bonding in these compounds is not clear. The electronic structure of [CuNRR’]₄ type clusters was investigated by using density functional methods. The results of geometrical optimization are in good agreement with experiment, and the localization of MO’s shows that there are four Cu-Cu σ bonds to form the square Cu₄ ring in addition to the four bridging Cu-N-Cu bonds. A concept of the covalence of molecular fragments is proposed to describe the bonding in these clusters.

Conjugate halo- and mercuroazidation of 1-phenyltricyclo-[4.1.0.0<Superscript>2.7</Superscript>]heptane. Synthesis of a conformationally rigid α-amino acid with a bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane skeleton

1-Phenyltricyclo[4.1.0.0^2.7]heptane reacted with N-bromo-, N-chloro-, and N-iodosuccinimides and with mercury(II) acetate in the presence of sodium azide as external nucleophile to give conjugate addition products to the central C¹–C⁷ bicyclobutane bond with a norpinane structure, where the azido group and the phenyl were attached to the same carbon atom (C⁶). The bromo- and chloroazidation showed anti-stereo-selectivity, and the iodoazidation, moderate syn-stereoselectivity; the mercuroazidation afforded exclusively the corresponding syn-addition product. Hydro-, bromo- and chlorodemercuration of the mercury adduct with sodium tetrahydridoborate and elemental bromine and chlorine, respectively, did not involve the azido group, and the original configuration was retained. The reduction of the hydrodemercuration product with LiAlH₄ gave 6-exo-phenylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-6-amine which was transformed in three steps into conformationally rigid 6-endo-(acetamido)bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-6-carboxylic acid.     

Stereochemistry of seven-membered heterocycles: XLVI. Synthesis and dynamic <Superscript>13</Superscript>C NMR spectroscopy of spiro[cyclohexane-1,4′-[3,5]dioxabicyclo[5.1.0]octanes]. DFT calculations of structurally related formaldehyde and acetone acetals

Spiro[cyclohexane-1,4′-[3,5]dioxabicyclo[5.1.0]octanes] were synthesized, and their conformational behavior was studied by dynamic ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Anancomeric displacement of conformational equilibrium toward two nonequivalent twist conformers with close energies was revealed. The relative Gibbs energies ΔG ^o and enthalpies of formation ΔH ^o of twist and chair-like conformers with endo and exo orientation of the three-membered ring of structurally related formaldehyde and acetone acetals were calculated in terms of the density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. Like spiro-cyclohexane analogs, they were shown to have a non-chair conformation.     

Synthesis of [3-<Superscript>14</Superscript>C]-L-tryptophan and 5′-hydroxy-[3-<Superscript>14</Superscript>C]-L-tryptophan

The synthesis of selectively labeled [3-¹⁴C]-L-tryptophan and its derivative 5′-hydroxy-[3-¹⁴C]-L-tryptophan using chemical and multienzymatic methods is reported. The key intermediate for this synthesis, [3-¹⁴C]-DL-alanine was obtained from ¹⁴CH₃I as a result of its condensation with N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-butyl ester. Next, the mixture containing [3-¹⁴C]-DL-alanine, indole or 5-hydroxyindole has been converted to [3-¹⁴C]-L-tryptophan or 5′-hydroxy-[3-¹⁴C]-L-tryptophan, respectively, in a one-pot multienzymatic reaction using four enzymes: D-amino acid oxidase, catalase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and tryptophanase.

Cyclopenta[b]thienyl ligand in organometallic chemistry. Studies of the regioselectivity of the synthesis of new σ-element-substituted cyclopenta[b]thiophene derivatives

Reactions of 2-ethyl-5-methylcyclopenta[b]thienyllithium (thiopentalenyllithium) (2) with various electrophilic reagents afford σ-element-substituted thiopentalenes. However, the reaction with Ph₃SnCl yields only one of two possible isomers,viz, triphenyl(4H-cyclopenta[b] thiophen-4-yl)stannane (4c), whereas the reactions with Me₃SiCl, Me₃SiCl, or Ph₂PCl give both possible isomers,viz., trimethyl(6H-cyclopenta[b]thiophen-6-yl)silane (3a) and trimethyl(4H-cyclopental[b]thiophen-4-yl)silane (4a), trimethyl(6H-cyclopenta[b]thiophen-6-yl)stannane (3b) and trimethyl(4H-cyclopental[b]thiophen-4-yl)stannane (4b), or diphenyl(6H-cyclopenta[b]thiophen-6-yl)phosphine (3d) and diphenyl(4H-cyclopenta[b]thiophen-4-yl)phosphine (4d) in ratios of 1∶2, 1∶2, or 1∶1, respectively. The structure of compound4c was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The observed regioselectivity of formation of compound4c is attributed to the specific precoordination of the tin atom by the sulfur atom of the thiopentalenyl ligand and to the steric overcrowding of the Sn atom in organotin electrophiles.

Diazabicycloalkanes with nitrogen atoms in bridgehead positions. 25. Influence of 3′-substituents on the direction of hydroxyethylation of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octenes

Substituents in the 3 and 6-positions of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane are capable of influencing the reactivity of the nitrogen atoms in the hydroxyethylation reaction due to steric hindrances or anchimeric contribution. Depending on the reaction conditions and substituents in the aromatic ring of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2]octane, either mono- or bis-quaternary salts were obtained.For Communication 24, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 215–218, February, 1992.
