Reaction of 1,5-diaryl-3-hydroxy-4-methylsulfonyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with urea,hydrazine, ethylenediamine,and <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-phenylenediamine

With urea 1,5-diaryl-3-hydroxy-4-methylsulfonyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones form the 3-amino derivatives of pyrrolones. In reactions with hydrazine hydrate and ethylenediamine the corresponding salts are formed. With ethylenediamine at 180–185°C the double salt of 3-hydroxy-4-methylsulfonyl-1,5-diphenyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one forms N,N′-di(4-methylsulfonyl-1,5-diphenyl-3-pyrrolin-2-on-3-yl)-ethylenediamine. The reaction with o-phenylenediamine gives 2,3-diaryl-4-methylsulfonylpyrrolo-[2,3-b]quinoxalines. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, 1631–1636, November, 2007.

Condensation of Schiff"s bases (prepared from 2-hydroxy- or 2-hydroxy-5-methylacetophenones and primary amines) with ethyl polyfluoroalkanoates in the presence of LiH in THF affords 3-alkylamino-3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-1-polyfluoroalkylprop-2-en-1-ones, which undergo cyclization in acidic media into 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4H-chromen-4-iminium salts. When neutralized with aqueous ammonia, the latter give 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4H-chromen-4-imines in high yields.

A Validated HPLC Method for Simultaneous Determination of 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic Acid in Root Organs of Hemidesmus indicus

A reverse phase HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid in the root extracts of Hemidesmus indicus. A comprehensive validation of the method including sensitivity, linearity, reproducibility, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was conducted using the optimized chromatographic conditions. The method was found to be linear (r > 0.998) in the range of 5–350 μg mL⁻¹ for 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and for 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (r > 0.999) in the range 10–300 μg mL⁻¹. The method was found to be precise with inter-day precision values (% RSD) in the ranges of 0.61–1.76% for 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 1.3–2.8% for 2-hydroxy-4-ethoxybenzoic acid while intra-day precisions (% RSD) of two analytes were in the range of 0.41–1.07 and 0.95–2.5%. The limits of detection (LODs) for 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid were 0.84 and 2.34 μg mL⁻¹. The described method was fast, sensitive and reproducible, and thus well suited for routine analysis of these two compounds from root extracts of H. indicus and other plants.

Acetoacetic and cyanoacetic esters under analogous conditions form anilides of 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid while diethyl malonate gives N,N′-di-2-carboxyanilides of malonic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 75–79, January, 2007.     

Reductive Coupling Reactions of 2-Nitrochalcones and their β-Hydroxy-analogues: New Syntheses of 2-Arylquinoline and 2-Aryl-4-hydroxyquinoline Derivatives

Summary. A one-pot synthesis of novel 2-arylquinolines and 2-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolines was developed from the intramolecular reductive coupling reactions of 2-nitrochalcones and 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-propen-1-ones. Depending on the reduction method and on the presence of electron donating substituents on the A ring of 2-nitrochalcones one can modulate the formation of 2-arylquinolines, their N-oxides, and of 2-aminochalcones. The reduction of 3-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-propen-1-ones with stannous chloride in hydrochloric acid gave 2′-aminoflavones and with ammonium formate and Pd/C yielded 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)-4-hydroxyquinolines.

The condensation of 3-hydroxyamino-3-methylbutan-2-one or 3-ethyl-3-hydroxyamino-pentan-2-one with aldehydes and ammonia afforded a series of new 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, whose oxidation gave rise to the corresponding 5-methyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxides. The latter, like 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, react with PrⁱONO in the presence of bases to form 4H-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides, which are transformed into 4H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides in the reaction with TsCl in the presence of Et₃N. The by-products produced in different steps of the synthesis were isolated and characterized. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

X-ray Crystal and Ab Initio Structures of 3′,5′-di-O-Acetyl-N(4)-Hydroxy-2′-Deoxycytidine and Its 5-Fluoro Analogue: Models of the N(4)-OH-dCMP and N(4)-OH-FdCMP Molecules Interacting with Thymidylate Synthase

The crystal and molecular structures of the 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-N(4)-hydroxy-2′-deoxycytidine molecule and its 5-fluoro congener have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-N(4)-hydroxy-5-fluoro-2′-deoxycytidine molecule crystallizes in the space group C2 with the following unit cell parameters: a = 21.72 Å, b = 8.72 Å, c = 8.61 Å, and β = 90.42^∘. 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-N(4)-hydroxy-2′-deoxycytidine also belongs to the monoclinic space group C2 and the unit cell parameters are: a = 39.54 Å, b = 8.72 Å, c = 22.89 Å, and β = 95.26^∘. The non-fluorine analogue demonstrates a rare example of crystal structure with five symmetry-independent molecules in the unit cell. All the molecules in both crystal structures have the sugar residue anti oriented with respect to the base, as well as have the N(4)-OH residue in cis conformation relatively to the N(3)-nitrogen atom. In addition to the molecular geometries from X-ray experiment, the optimized molecular geometries have been obtained with the use of theoretical ab initio calculations at the RHF/6-31G(d) level. The corresponding geometric parameters in the molecules of 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-N(4)-hydroxy-2′-deoxycytidine and its 5-fluoro congener have been compared. The differences including the C(5)=C(6) bond shortening and C(4)—C(5)—C(6) angle widening in the fluorine analogue are discussed in this paper in relation to the molecular mechanism of enzyme, thymidylate synthase, inhibition by N(4)-hydroxy-2′-deoxycytidine monophosphate and its 5-fluoro congener.
