Nitration,amination, and halogenation of Di-O-methylphloracetophenone

Chlorination of the title compound gave 5- and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone. The nitration of its acetate, followed successively by reduction, diazotization, and reaction with cuprous chloride, gave the 3-substituted series, 2-acetoxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3-nitroacetophenone, 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone, and 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,6-methoxyacetophenone, respectively. The orientation of substituents in the products was proved.

Synthetic studies in the field of chlorobium chlorophyll

By the condensation of -halogenomethyl derivatives of pyrroles with -unsubstituted pyrroles the synthesis of the following unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes has been effected: 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIa), 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-diniethyl-3-n-propyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane(IIIb), 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIc), and 3-bromo-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIId). Hydrogenation of the unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes IIIa, b, c, and d has given the corresponding monocarboxylic acids IVa, b, c, and d. The formylation of the dipyrrolylmethanemonocarboxylic acid IVa has given 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-formyl-3,3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (V).For communication II, see [1].Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 1045–1047, August, 1970.     

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.     

Organodimagnesium derivatives of thiophene. 3. Synthesis of an organodimagnesium derivative of hexabromo-2,2′-dithienyl and its reaction with oxalic acid esters

It was established that the reaction of hexabromo-2,2-dithienyl with magnesium in the presence of ethyl bromide gives an organodimagnesium derivative, which reacts with oxalic acid esters to give 3,3,4,4-tetrabromo-5,5-dithienyl-diglyoxalic acid esters. Reduction of the latter with ethylmagnesium bromide leads to 3,3,4,4-tetrabromo-5,5-dithienyl-2,2-diglycolic acid esters.See [1] for Communication 2.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 468–470, April, 1981.

9-(2′,5′-Dimethyl-4′-pyridyl)fluorene in syntheses of fluorospirodihydrofuropyridine and pyridofluoranthene

1,2,5-Trimethyl-4-(9-fluorenylidene)piperidine, which is formed by condensation of fluorene with 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidone, is converted catalytically to 9(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)fluorene, from which 2-methylpyrido[4,5-a]fluoranthene and its demethylated analog were obtained by catalytic dehydrocyclization. Oxidation of 9-(2,5-dimethy1-4-pyridyl)fluorene gave 9-(2,5-dimethyl-4-pyridyl)9-fluorenol and fluorene-9-spiro-4-(6-oxo-2-carboxypyrido[4,5-c]-4-6-dihydrofuran). 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7-(9-fluorenyl)indolizine was synthesized by the Chichibabin method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1087–1090, August, 1978.     

Electronic structure and models of receptor of monooxygenase inductors from a number of polychlorinated polycyclic compounds. IV. MNDO calculations of halogen-substituted azobenzenes

The electron and geometric structures of the cis and trans isomers of 3,3,4,4-tetrachloroazobenzene (3,3,4,4-TCAB) and the trans isomers of 3,3,5,5-TCAB and 3,3-dichloro-4,4-difluoroazobenzene were calculated by the MNDO method. It was established that the trans isomer, which has a planar structure, is most stable for 3,3,4,4-TCAB. Change in the position of the Cl atoms in the azobenzene, i.e., the transition from 3,3,4,4-TCAB to 3,3,5,5-TCAB, does not lead to appreciable change in the formation energy, the position of the electronic levels, the nature of the frontier orbitals, or the charge distribution in the molecules. This gives reason to suggest that the biological activity of 3,3,4,4-TCAB is due to the metabolism products and not to the action of the substrates themselves.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1797–1801, August, 1990.

Synthesis of 2-O-ethyl analogues of 3′-azido- and 3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and evaluation of their biological activity against HIV

Summary 2-O-Ethyluracil and 2-O-ethylthymine were silylated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and condensed in the presence ofTMS triflate with 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranoside, and 2,3-dideoxy-3-phthalimido--D-erythro-pentofuranose derivatives to give the corresponding 2-O-ethyl nucleosides. Deprotection with saturated methanolic ammonia afforded the 2,3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-O-ethyluridines, whereas 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine was obtained by deprotection with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran. 3-Amino-2,3-dideoxy-3-O-ethyluridine could be obtained only by treatment of the corresponding 3-azido nucleoside with triphenylphosphine in pyridine. 3-Deoxy-2-O-ethyl-3-fluorothymidine (6b) showed moderate activity against HIV-1.

Dimerization of N-methylanabasine in the presence of metallic sodium

In a study of the dimerization of N-methylanabasine in the presence of metallic sodium under conditions for the dimerization of pyridine, it was found that the reaction does not take place at room temperature while at 50–70° C it leads to the formation of,-di(1-methylpiperid-2-yl)-,-bipyridyl. Oxidation of the latter yielded 4,4-bipyridyl-5, 5-dicarboxylic acid, the decarboxylation of which gave,-bipyridyl.

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.
