SYNTHESES AND SOME PROPERTIES OF SULFOXIDES,SULFILIMINES, AMINOSULFONIUM SALTS AND SULFOXIMINES CONTAINING PYRIDINE NUCLEI

Abstract

Several 2-pyridyl sulfides (1) (e.g., methyl (1a), ethyl (1b), isopropyl (1c), benzyl (1d), 1-phenylethyl (1e), l-menthyl (If) 2-pyridyl sulfides; and bis(2-pyridylthio)methane (1g), and methyl 2-(N-oxy-pyridyl) sulfide (1h) were prepared by the usual method. Sulfoxides (2) were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding sulfides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in good yields. A few sulfoxides were found to work as phase-transfer catalysts for some typical nucleophilic reactions in nonpolar solvents such as benzene, and in two-phase systems such as benzene-water. S-2-Pyridyl-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) sulfilimines (3) were prepared upon treatment of sulfides with Chloramine-T. Hydrolysis of N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-2-pyridyl-o-tolylsulfilimine (3i) with conc. sulfuric acid gave the corresponding free sulfilimine in a moderate yield. S-2-Pyridyl sulfoximines (4) were not obtained by the general method from the sulfoxides and hydrazoic acid. Alkyl-2-pyridyl sulfoximines, however, were obtained by oxidation of the free sulfilimines derived from the corresponding aminosulfonium salts (5) prepared by reaction of the sulfides with mesitylene-sulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH). These free sulfilimines and sulfoximines thus prepared were found to give adducts with a few copper salts.     

Reductive Acylamination of Pyridine <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Oxide with Aminopyridines and Their <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Tolylsulfonyl Derivatives

Pyridine N-oxide reacts with 2- and 3-aminopyridines and their N-p-tolylsulfonyl derivatives in alkaline medium in the presence of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to give N-p-tolylsulfonyl-2,2′- and 2,3′-dipyridylamines, respectively, as a result of reductive acylamination. In the reactions with 4-aminopyridine and 4-p-tolylsulfonyl-aminopyridine, their N-p-tolylsulfonyl- and N,N-bis(p-tolylsulfonyl) derivatives are formed, while reductive acylamination does not occur.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 128–130.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Solekhova, Kurbatov.     

Mechanistic studies on the conjugation of methyl isocyanate with N-acetyl-cysteine in rats

In order to investigate the utility of selected thiols as scavengers of MIC, we first assessed the chemical stability of SMG, AMCC and SMC by measuring their rates of reaction in vitro with thiophan. The inital rates of carbamoylation of thiorphan (0.5 mM) by the above conjugates (0.5 mM) in aqueous buffer at pH 7.4 and 37°C were 2.51, 0.76 and 8.47 mol L^–1 min^–1, respectively, indicating that the mercapturate AMCC was the most stable of the three MIC conjugates.In light of these results, studies were conducted to examine the effect of pretreatment withN-acetyl-l-cysteine (l-NAC; 500 mg kg^–1, i.p.) on the urinary elimination of AMCC in rats dosed with MIC (15 mg kg^–1, i.p.). In separate experiments, groups of rats were pretreated with eitherN-acetyl-d-cysteine (d-NAC) orN-trideuteroacetyl-l-cysteine (d₃-l-NAC) in order to explore the mechanism by which MIC undergoes conjugation to AMCCin vivo. The results indicated that exogenous NAC effectively enhances the urinary excretion of MIC in the form of AMCC, and that it does so largely by direct conjugation with the isocyanate, rather thanvia biosynthesis to GSH.     

Investigation of structures of micelles of a fullerene derivative of alanine in aqueous solutions by tunneling scanning microscopy

Structures of micelles ofN-(monohydrofullerenyl)-l-alanine and their associates were studied by tunneling scanning microscopy in the regime of a profilometer with a 10-nm resolution along the vertical line. The data obtained show that the micelles of the compound studied are anisodiametric particles 0.5–10 m in size containing negligible amounts of water. The thickness of the micelles depends on their lengths.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 876–878, April, 1996.

Crystal and molecular structure ofN-phenyl-4-nitrobenzamidoxime

N-Phenyl-4-nitrobenzamidoxime has been studied by X-ray structural analysis. In two crystallographically independent molecules1A and1B, amidoxime groups adopt a planarZ configuration, and these fragments are in ans-trans conformation with respect to the =N-O and C-N(H) bonds; an intramolecular NH...O bond occurs. The nitrophenyl and phenyl groups are rotated with respect to the amidoxime plane [ONCN] by –57 and –32° in1A and –38 and –22° in1B, respectively. The rotation of the fragments about the C(1)-N(2) bond is –28 (1A) and –35° (1B). In crystals, molecules1A and1B are linked in oxime dimers through two intermolecular =N...(HO) hydrogen bonds; dimers form double chains through two NH...(O₂N) hydrogen bonds.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The Calorimetric and Volumetric Properties of Selected α-Amino Acids and α,ω-Amino Acids in Water at T = (288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p = 0.1 MPa

Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities have been measured for the amino acids β-alanine, 4-aminobutanoic acid, d,l-norleucine and d,l-norvaline in dilute aqueous solution at p = 0.1 MPa and T = (288.15, 298.15, 313.15 and 328.15) K. Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities have been calculated and the isothermal concentration dependences of these properties have been modeled to yield apparent molar properties at infinite dilution. Values for apparent molar properties at infinite dilution are compared to those previously reported in the literature. Trends in the temperature dependences of the infinite dilution properties are discussed in terms of methylene group contributions and the variations in these contributions caused by the presence of ionic end groups.

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties of Acridinium-9-sulfonamides

By introducing an electro-withdrawing antipyrine group, N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-N-(4-antipyrine)-10-methylacridinium-9-carboxamide triflate is prepared. The UV, fluorescent (FL), and chemiluminescent (CL) properties of the target compound and of its precursor are investigated by comparing with those of the model compounds N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-N-phenyl-10-methylacridinium-9-carboxamide triflate and the corresponding precursor, respectively. The results show that, compared with the corresponding model compound, acridine sulfonamide with a heterocyclic antipyrine group exhibits blue shift of both UV absorption and of maximum excitation wavelength (λ_ex) and the emission wavelength (λ_em) in FL spectra. The λ_ex of the final target and its precursor are 268 and 274 nm, respectively, and the λ_em are 321 and 327 nm, respectively, whereas the λ_ex of the model compound and its unmethylated precursor are 365 and 359 nm, respectively, and the λ_em are 504 and 440 nm, respectively. Moreover, the chemiluminescence of the final target compound triggered by H₂O₂ could finish within 1.1 s, and the quantum yield is similar to that of the model compound, being 5.6 times high as that of luminol.

Synthesis and Properties of First Bis(fluoreno)crownophanes

Alkylation of 2,7-dihydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-one with 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol, 2-[2-(2-chloroethoxy)-ethoxy]ethanol, and 2-{2-[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethanol in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate gave 78–80% of the corresponding diols which were treated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in a dioxanechloroform mixture in the presence of triethylamine at 0– 5°C (30 h). The resulting bis(p-toluene-sulfonates) were brought into condensation with 2,7-dihydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-one in a very dilute solution in dimethylformamide containing anhydrous potassium carbonate at 80–85°C. Appropriate treatment of the reaction mixture, followed by chromatographic purification afforded 53–27% of the first representatives of a new class of cyclophanes, bis(oxofluoreno)crownophanes. Raising the temperature to 95–105°C resulted in an appreciable decrease of the product yield. The yield of the target products did not increase on replacement of potassium carbonate by cesium carbonate.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 144–149.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lyapunov, Kirichenko, Kulygina, Luk’yanenko.

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic activity of diorganotin complexes with Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine

Seven diorganotin complexes with the Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine, R₂Sn[2-O-5-XC₆H₃CH?=?NCH(CH₂C₆ H₄OH-4)COO] (X?=?H (1), Br (2); R?=?Me (a), Et (b), Bu (c), Cy (cyclohexyl) (d)), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In methanol, the racemization of chiral center of l-tyrosinate fragment occurred and the racemic products were obtained. X-ray analyses of 1c, 1d, and 2a–2c showed that the tin atoms of the complexes exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometries. In 1c, 1d, and 2c, the intermolecular O–H???O hydrogen bonds connected the molecules into 1-D supramolecular chain or a R₂²(20) macrocyclic dimer, and 2a and 2b formed the 2-D supramolecular network by the intermolecular Sn???O and O–H???O interactions. Bioassay results indicated that 1a, 1c, and 1d had moderate antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and 1c, 1d, and 2c belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents against two human tumor cell lines (A549 and HeLa) and the activity tends to follow the order Cy > Bu?>?Et?>?Me for the R group attached to tin.     

Synthesis of N-1-(Indanyloxymethyl) and N-1-(4-Hydroxybut-2-enyloxymethyl) Analogues of the HIV Drugs Emivirine and GCA-186

A series of Emivirine and GCA-186 analogues substituted at N-1 with indan-1-yloxymethyl (6a–6c) and indan-2-yloxymethyl (6d–6f) were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding bis(indanyloxy)methans with uracils having 5-ethyl or 5-isopropyl and 6-benzyl or 6-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl) substituents. A route to the corresponding N-1 substituted 4-hydroxybut-2-enyloxymethyl analogue was also devised.
