Synthetic approach toward antibiotic tunicamycins — VI total synthesis of tunicamycins

Tunicamycins and their eight analogs have been synthesized by condensation of a N-acetyl-D-glucosamine derivative and an anomeric chloride of tunicaminyl uracil, followed by deprotections and N-acylation.     

Hydrodynamic voltammetry at channel electrodes: Part II. Theory of first-order kinetic collection efficiencies

The theory of first-order kinetic collection efficiencies at the double channel electrode is developed for the following two schemes: (I) A±n₁e→B (at the generator electrode), B→^kP (in solution), B±n₂e→Y (at the detector electrode), (II) A±n₁e→B, B→^kA, B±n₂e→Y. The exact expressions for the kinetic collection efficiencies are obtained as ascending and asymptotic series with respect to the kinetic parameter. Further, approximate formulae in exponential forms are given, which hold within an error of about 2% for conventional electrode geometry. Finally, the validity of the approximate procedure, which has been used previously to obtain the kinetic collection efficiencies for fast homogeneous reactions, is discussed in comparison with the present theory.     

Ti-Mo heterobimetallic thiacalix[4]arene complex containing an unusual alpha-agostic micro2-eta5:eta2-cyclopentadienyl ligand

A stepwise reaction of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (TC4A-(OH)(4)) with [CpTiCl3]-NEt(3) and cis-[Mo(N(2))(2)(PMe(2)Ph)(4)] afforded a new Ti-Mo heterobimetallic complex [TC4A-(O)(4)Ti(micro2-C(5)H(5))MoH(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] which shows an unusual alpha-agostic micro2-eta5:eta2-coordination of a cyclopentadienyl ligand.     

Dioxopyrrolines. LXII. Diels-Alder reaction of 1-Aryl-4- and 5-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones with various 1,3-dienes

Two new dioxopyrrolines (1-aryl-4-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-dione 6 and the 5-methoxycarbonyl isomer 8) behaved as good dienophiles to some kind of 1,3-dienes examined. In most cases, the products were explained by the reaction where the largest lobe of HOMO of dienes reacted to the larger LUMO of dienophiles in an expected cis-endo manner. However, in the reactions of 8 with alkylbutadienes, piperylene and isoprene, abnormality in the reaction was observed, which was well explained by taking account of steric factors.     

Thermally-induced radical rearrangement of 2-(2-thienylmethoxy)-and 2-(2-benzo[b]thienylmethoxy)tropones

Upon heating at ca. 160°, 2-(2-thienylmethoxy)tropone afforded 3- and 5(2-thienylmethyl)tropolones. Formation of 3,5-bis(2-thienylmethyl)tropolone and unsubstituted tropolone indicated a radical chain mechanism for the thermolysis.     

Synthetic studies on macrolactin A by using a (diene)Fe(CO)3 complex

The stereoselective synthesis of the two segments 3 and 4 of macrolactin A 1 is described. Macrolactin A is a 24-membered polyene macrolide antibiotic, which is of interest due to a strong activity against B16-F10 murine tumor cell and HIV-1 virus. The key step of the synthesis is the 1,2-migration reaction of a (diene)Fe(CO)₃ complex with a introduction of the thiol group to construct the unstable (E,Z)-conjugated dienic moiety (C8-C11).     

Functional monomers and polymers. LXI. Photochemical reactions on the synthetic polymers containing thymine bases

Photodimerization of N-2-isobutyloxyethyl thymine (T-M), bis[2-(5-methyl-1-primidinyl)-ethyl] glutarate (T-T), poly(N-2-methacryloyloxyethyl thymine) (polyMAOT), and poly(N-2-acryloyloxyethyl thymine) (poly AOT) was studied in dimethylformamide solution. The rate of intramolecular photodimerization of polyMAOT and polyAOT was 5.7 and 7.2 times faster, respectively, than that of T-T. In T-M, however, intermolecular photodimerization did not occur under the reaction condition used. Quenching studies with isoprene suggest that the photodimerization of T-T occurs predominantly in an excited triplet state, whereas that of polyMAOT and polyAOT occur in singlet and triplet states. It was concluded that the photodimers of T-T, polyMAOT, and polyAOT are two syn-fused cyclobutane-type dimers (cis-syn and trans-syn). Quantum efficiencies of thymine base disappearance were determined by ultraviolet (UV) analysis to be 0.0012 for T-T, 0.0084 for polyMAOT, and 0.010 for polyAOT.     

Aluminum-controlled reactivity and diastereoselectivity toward radical reactions of optically active aldimines with metallic samarium

The intermolecular pinacol-type coupling reaction and allylation reaction of optically active imines bearing a beta-hydroxy group were performed stereoselectively with metallic samarium after treatment of the imines with trimethylaluminum.
