Cyclopentenone blocks for 15-deoxy-Δ 12,14 -prostaglandin J2

Proceeding from the [2+2]-adduct of dichloroketene and dimethylfulvene a synthesis was developed of methyl (5Z)-7-(2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-1-oxaspiro[2.4]hept-6-en-5-yl)hept-5-enoate, the key block in the new synthetic approach to 15-deoxy-Δ^12,14-prostaglandin J₂.     

Synthesis of 2-amino derivatives of levoglucosenone

2-Amino derivatives of levoglucosenone were prepared by reaction of the 2-methanesulfonyl (or p-toluenesulfonyl) derivatives with ammonia, methylamine, or octylamine under various conditions. The analogous reaction did not occur for saturated derivative 15. The 2-amino-3,4-dihydro derivative was prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated amine 9.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 429–432, November–December, 2004.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Synthesis and structure of 5,5′-[(E,E)-2,5-diiodohexa-1,5-diene-1,6-diyl]bis(2,3-dichloro-4,4-dimethoxycyclopent-2-en-1-one)

Treatment of 2,3,5-trichloro-5-[(E)-2,3-diiodoprop-1-en-1-yl]-4,4-dimethoxycyclopent-2-en-1-one with SmI₂ in THF gives 5,5′-[(1E,5E)-2,5-diiodohexa-1,5-diene-1,6-diyl]bis(2,3-dichloro-4,4-dimethoxycyclopent-2-en-1-one) and its meso form at a ratio of 3:1.     

Preparation of 4,4a,9,9a-tetrahydrocarbazoles and 1,3a,4,8b-tetra-hydrocyclopenta[b]indoles

Halocyclization of mesylates or tosylates of 2-(cycloalk-2-en-1-yl)anilines gives N-methanesulfonyl-or N-toluenesulfonyl-1-halo-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydrocarbazoles, heating of which in DMF at 160°C or in piperidine at 110°C leads to 4,4a,9,9a-tetrahydro-3H-carbazoles. Heating N-methanesulfonyl-1-iodo-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole in DMF at 180—200°C gives 1,3a,4,9b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indole, while in the presence of an ortho-methyl substituent the dehydroiodination reaction proceeds in piperidine at 110°C in high yield. The effect of the nature of the ortho substituent of N-methyl-1-iodo-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole on the conformational equilibrium of the cyclopentane ring has been established by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1184–1190, August, 2006.     

Uncommon transformations of methyl (1S,2S,3R,4R)-2,3-isopropylidenedioxy-5-iodomethyl-2-tetrahydrofurylacetate initiated by bases

Methyl (1S,2S,3R,4R)-2,3-isopropylidenedioxy-5-iodomethyl-2-tetrahydrofurylacetate prepared in two stages from D-ribose acetonide underwent a series of uncommon transformations under the treatment with bases providing the following different products depending on the base applied: methyl 3-(5-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxol-4-yl)propionate (DBU), methyl 2,3-isopropylidenedioxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-6-carboxylate (t-BuOK), methyl {(5R)-2,2-dimethyl-5-[(2R)-oxiranyl]-1,3-dioxolan-4-ylidene}propionate and methyl-(E)-3-{(4S,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-5-[(1R)-(2-oxiranyl)]-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl}-2-propenoate (t-BuOK and LDA).     

Complication effects in highly-excited state structure of the (γ, n), (e,e′) and (Μ−, γ) reactions

The complication effects in the highly-excited state structure (impurity of the complex configurations of the 2p2h type) of the (, n), (e, e) and (^–, ) nuclear reactions with the⁴⁰Ca nucleus have been studied in terms of the ph-approximation including the following effects: (a) the presence of states of the two particles — two holes type, (b) rigidity loss by nucleus in excited state.     

Prostanoids: LXXXIV. Synthons for New Halochlorvulones II from 6,7-Dichloro-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]non-6-en-8-one

By reaction of 6,7-dichloro-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]non-6-en-8-one with NaI and LiBr in boiling acetylacetone or methyl butyl ketone the corresponding 3-iodo and 3-bromo derivatives of cyclopentenone were prepared.     

Platinum(II) and platinum(IV) chloro complexes with (<Emphasis Type="Italic">RS</Emphasis>)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1Н-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)pentan-3-ol

Platinum(II) and platinum(IV) chloro complexes with (RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1Н-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)pentan-3-ol (L), namely, cis-[PtCl₂L₂], trans-[PtCl₂L₂], and trans-[PtCl₄L₂], were synthesized. The structures of their coordination cores and the coordination mode of the reagent to the metal ions via the N(4) atom of the triazole ring were determined by electronic, IR, and NMR ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy. The ratio between treo and erythro diastereomers and the conformation of reagent L in the complexes were established from the complete assignment of signals in their NMR spectra.     

Trofimov synthesis of betulin derivatives with 2,3-annelated pyrrole

Lupane-type triterpenoid derivatives containing a 2,3-annelated 1H-pyrrole or an N-vinylpyrrole moiety were synthesized by reaction of 28-OTr-lup-20(29)-en-3-one oxime and acetylene in KOH/DMSO superbase medium at atmospheric pressure.     

Prostanoids: LXXX. Analogs of "Marine" Prostanoids. (±)-11-Chlorochlorvulone II
