Study of furan compounds

Research on synthesis of polycyclic spirans of the 1, 6-dioxaspiro-[4, 4]nonane group is continued. Electrolysis of methanol solutions of 2-furylcyclopentanol, 2-(5-methyl-furfuryl)cyclopentanol, and 2-furfuryl-1-indanol, gives, by intramolecular alkoxylation, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5dihydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-5-methyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxy-2, 5-dihydrofuran)}, hitherto undescribed in the literature. Depending on the conditions, catalytic hydrogenation of these gives: spiro{perhydiocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{2, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-(5-methoxytetrahydrofuran)}, spiro{perhydrocyclopenta[b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}, and spiro{2, 3, 3a, 8b-tetrahydro-4H-indeno[1, 2-b]furan-2, 2-tetrahydrofuran}.For Part XXXI see [1].     

Synthesis,structure, and properties,of 4a-hydroxyisoxazolidino[4,5-b]quinuclidines

Proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy have been used to confirm the structure and establish the 4a,7a(RR/SS) configuration of 4a-hydroxyisoxazolidino[4,5-b]quinuclidines obtained by the reaction of N-arylhydroxylamines with 2-methylene-3-oxoquinuclidine. The reaction of this with hydroxylamine leads to a mixture of isomers of the oximes of 4a-hydroxyl-6-(3-oxoquinuclidyl-2)isoxazolidino[4,5-b]quinuclidine, each of which is formed as a single diastereomer.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 118–123, January, 1993.

Polarographic behavior of 2,2′-bifuryl and 2,2′-furoin

In aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic buffer solutions at pH<9, 2, 2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin give two-electron polarographic electroreduction waves, the half-wave potentials of which depend on the pH. The primary product of the electroreduction of 2, 2-bifuryl is trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(, -furyl)ethylene, which then rearranges into 2, 2-furoin. The anode-cathode wave of 2,2-bifuryl has been studied by means of a Kalousek commutator. It has been shown that the polarographic behavior of 2,2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin is similar to that of benzil and benzoin, but differs from the behavior of analogs of the pyridine series.     

Molecular mechanics and dynamics study of DNA-furocoumarins complexes: Effect of methylation of the angular derivatives on the intercalation geometry

Summary Results of molecular mechanics calculations on intercalation complexes between DNA and angelicin derivatives: angelicin, 4-methylangelicin, 5-methylangllicin, 4,4-dimethylangelicin, 4,5-dimethylangelicin, 4,6,4-trimethylangelicin and 4,6,5-trimethylangelicin, are presented. The correlation between the presence of methyl groups and an increase in DNA photobinding affinity is discussed on the basis of the molecular structures. The influence of the orientation of the angelicins within the intercalation cavity is also discussed. Finally, the consequences of the dynamical behaviour of angelicin in the intercalation cite are studied.Abbreviations CNDO complete neglect of differential overlap - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - rms root mean square - UV-A ultraviolet light of class A (320<<400 nm)     

Preparation of 8-(5-oxoindeno [3,2-b]-4-pyridyl)-1-naphthoic acids

The condensation of 1-(1,3-indanedion-2-ylidene)-2-acenaphthenone with imines of -dicarbonyl compounds gave 2,5-dioxospiro 1,4,acenaphthene-1,4-dihydroindeno-[3,2-b]pyridines. Oxidation of the pyridines with air oxygen at room temperature without catalysts brings about cleavage of the C-C bond to give 8-(5-oxoindeno[3,2-b]-4-pyridyl)-1-naphthoic acids.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 210–212, February, 1972.

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Zeolite Catalyzed Alkylation of Biphenyl. Where Does Shape-Selective Catalysis Occur?

Liquid-phase alkylation of biphenyl (BP) was studied over large-pore zeolites. Selective formation of the least bulky products, 4,4-diisopropylbiphenyl (4,4-DIPB) occurred only in the isopropylation of BP over one- or two-dimensional zeolites, H-mordenite (HM), ZSM-12, SSZ-24, SAPO-5, SSZ-31, and CIT-5. These shape-selective catalyses are ascribed to steric restriction of transition state and to easiness of the substrates to enter into the pores. HM gave the highest selectivity among them. The dealumination of HM enhanced catalytic activity and the selectivity for 4,4-DIPB because of the decrease of coke deposition. Non-regioselective catalysis occurs on external acid sites over HM with the low SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio because severe coke deposition deactivates the acid sites inside the pores by blocking pore openings. The selectivity of DIPB isomers was changed with propylene pressure and/or with reaction temperature. Selective formation of 4,4-DIPB was observed at moderate temperatures such as 250°C, whereas the decrease of the selectivity of 4,4-DIPB occurred at higher temperatures as 300°C. 4,4-DIPB yielded selectively under high propylene pressure (<0.3 MPa) at 250°C, while the selectivity of 4,4-DIPB decreased under low propylene pressure as 0.2 MPa. However, 4,4-DIPB was almost exclusive isomer in the encapsulated DIPB isomers inside the pores under every temperature and pressure. The decrease of the selectivity of 4,4-DIPB is due to the isomerization of 4,4-DIPB on the external acid sites. The deactivation of external acid sites of HM was examined by the modification with cerium and other rare earth metal oxide on HM. Selectivities of 4,4-DIPB were improved over modified HM even at high temperatures because of the suppression of non-regioselective alkylation and isomerization at the external acid sites. The ethylation of BP to ethylbiphenyls (EBPs) and diethylbiphenyls (DEBPs) was non-regioselective. The ethylation of BP to EBPs was controlled kinetically. However, there was difference in reactivities of EBPs and DEBPs for their further ethylation. 4-EBP was ethylated preferentially among the isomers, although the formation of 4,4-DEBP was less selective. 4-EBP and 4,4-DEBP have the highest reactivities among EBPs and DEBPs for the ethylation to polyethylbiphenyls (PEBPs). These results show that the environments of HM pores are too loose for shape-selective formation of the least bulky isomers, 4-EBP and 4,4-DEBP, in the ethylation of BP, and that HM pores have enough space for the further ethylation of 4,4-DEBP.

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

Vanadyl ion complexes with nucleotides

Summary Complexes of adenosine-5-triphosphate, adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, cytidine-5-monophosphate and uridine-5-monophosphate with vanadyl ion, have been studied in the solid state by i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. All complexes have normal magnetic moments, very close to the spin-only values. From the i.r. spectra it is suggested that the vanadyl ion is interacting with adenosine-5-triphosphate, through the N-1 of the purine ring, with adenosine-5-monophosphate, guanosine-5-monophosphate, inosine-5-monophosphate, through the N-7 of the purine ring, with cytidine-5-monophosphate through the N-3 of the pyrimidine ring, and most probably through the phosphate group with uridine-5-monophosphate. The complexes of vanadyl ion with the nucleotides are probably polymeric.
