Synthesis of O-[4,6-Di-O-Acetyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-Acetyl-β-D-Galactopyranosyl)-2-Deoxy-2-Hydroxyimino-D-Arabino-Hexopyranosyl]-N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Serine Methyl Esters And Their Transformations

ABSTRACT

3,6-Di-O-acetyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-hydroxyimino-α- and -β-D-arabino-hexopyranosides of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-serine methyl ester as well as of ethanol have been synthesised from D-lactal hexaacetate via nitrosyl chloride, followed by condensation with L-serine derivatives and ethanol, respectively. The compounds of L-serine thus obtained were modified at C-2 and C-3 to afford L-serine derivatives attached to disaccharides containing terminal α-D-gluco-, 2-acetamido-α-D-gluco-, β-D-manno, 2-acetamido-β-D-manno-pyranosyl, 3-azido-2-hydroxyimino-α-D-arabino-, and α-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl residues.     

The hydrogen‐bonding network in deacetyl­cephalothin

The structural analysis of deacetyl­cephalothin [systematic name: (6R,7R)‐3‐hydroxy­methyl‐8‐oxo‐7‐(2‐thio­phen‐2‐yl­acetyl­amino)‐5‐thia‐1‐aza­bicyclo­[4.2.0]oct‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxylic acid], C₁₄H₁₄N₂O₅S₂, shows that the geometry of the central bicyclic moiety is close to the geometry exhibited by other biologically active cephalosporin antibiotics. The mol­ecules are arranged in a helical chain running parallel to the 2₁ axis via a strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The main helices are zipped together via N—H⋯O inter­actions, forming infinite layers. The supramolecular architecture is stabilized by O—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Crystal Structure and Solid State 13C Nmr Analysis of Methyl 3,4,6-Tri-O-Acetyl-2-Deoxy-2-(3-Phenylureido)-β-D-Glucopyranoside

ABSTRACT

The X-ray diffraction analysis of methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-(3-phenylureido)-β-D-glucopyranoside was performed and showed that the molecules are associated by two NHz.O=C hydrogen bonds. One molecule with disorder of an acetyl group at C-4 was found in the asymmetric crystal unit. The signals in ¹³C CPMAS NMR spectrum are duplicated indicating that local symmetry is lower than those of the crystal.     

A concise synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acids using a Petasis reaction and Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbitt cyclization sequence

A sequence of two reactions: the Petasis reaction, in which an aminoacetaldehyde acetal was used as the amine component, followed by Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbitt cyclization, has been shown to be a convenient and simple method for the synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acids. Using this method several acids have been prepared in good to excellent yields and characterized as hydrochloride salts.     

Spectrochemical properties and solvatochromism of bis(salicylidene-2-amino-3-methylpyridine)copper(II)

The title complex, denoted as [Cu(Msap)₂], is a deep brown solid soluble in common solvents like chloroform, toluene, benzene, dioxane, acetone, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile that is a necessary condition for solvatochromism observation. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, ultraviolet, and visible spectroscopy. The available X-ray data for similar compounds show that copper atom adopts planar coordination geometry. The molar conductivities indicate their non-electrolytic properties. The electronic spectra have been used to study the coordination properties of donor atoms and their bonding abilities, as well as solvatochromism. The results obtained show that the interactions of metal with donors depend on solvent polarity and the color changes are subtle.     

Surface potential and surface tension of aqueous 2-halogenoethanol-ethanol solutions

The surface properties of aqueous 2-fluoro-, 2-chloro-, 2-bromoethanol-ethanol mixtures were studied by surface tension measurements, applying the drop weight method, and by surface potential using the flowing jet method. The addition of ethanol to 2-halogenoethanol solutions causes a synergetic effect on surface tension. In the case of surface potential the synergetic influence exists only in the mixtures of ethanol-2-fluoroethanol. The studies on the surface interactions of the adsorbed molecules of particular components in the mixed film were carried out by the Rosen and Hua method. The weak interaction between adsorbed molecules was observed.     

Development of zinc alkyl/air systems as radical initiators for organic reactions

This paper reports a series of comparative experiments on the activity of carbon- and oxygen-centred radical species in a model reaction of the radical addition of THF to imines mediated by a series of zinc alkyl/air reaction systems. The study strongly contradicts the notion that generally R˙ radicals are the initiating species in organic reactions mediated by R_nM/air systems, and simultaneously demonstrates that oxygen-centred radical species are the key intermediates responsible for the initiation process. In addition, a new efficient RZn(L)/air initiating system for radical organic reactions exampled by a model reaction of radical addition of THF to imines is developed. Moreover, the isolation and structural characterization of the first zinc alkylperoxide supported by a carboxylate ligand, [Zn₄(μ₃-OOtBu)₃(μ₄-O)(O₂CEt)₃]₂, as well as the novel octanuclear zinc oxo(alkoxide) aggregate with entrapped O–THF species, [Zn₄(μ₄-O)(μ₃-2-O–THF)(O₂CEt)₅]₂, provide clear mechanistic signatures for the mode of function of the RZn(O₂CR′)/air system.     

Design,synthesis and application of new bile acid ligands with 1,2,3-triazole ring

New dimers have been obtained from propargyl ester of bile acids and α,α′-diazide-m-xylene by intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. These compounds have been used as ligands to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with various aromatic acids. The structures of all products were confirmed by spectroscopic (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and FT-IR) analysis, mass spectrometry (ESI, MALDI) and PM5 semiempirical methods.     

Lévy-driven GPS queues with heavy-tailed input

In this paper, we derive exact large buffer asymptotics for a two-class generalized processor sharing (GPS) model, under the assumption that the input traffic streams generated by both classes correspond to heavy-tailed Lévy processes. Four scenarios need to be distinguished, which differ in terms of (i) the level of heavy-tailedness of the driving Lévy processes as well as (ii) the values of the corresponding mean rates relative to the GPS weights. The derived results are illustrated by two important special cases, in which the queues’ inputs are modeled by heavy-tailed compound Poisson processes and by \(\alpha \)-stable Lévy motions.
