Analogs of pyrimidine nucleosides

α-(1-Cytosinyl)-γ-butyrolactone was obtained by condensation of bis(trimethylsilyl)cytosine with α-bromobutyrolactone. The reduction of α-(1-cytosinyl)-γ-butyrolactone with sodium borohydride gave N₁-(1,4-dihydroxy-2-butyl)cytosine, the acylation of which with benzoyl chloride and subsequent partial hydrolysis gave N₁-(1,4-dihydroxy-2-butyl)-N₄-benzoylcytosine.     

Crystal Structures of Two Re(V) Complexes of 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole with Linear and Bent [OReOReO]4+ Fragments

The crystal structures of two new dimer compounds of Re(V) containing an [OReOReO]⁴⁺ fragment have been studied. Re₂O₃Cl₄(3,5-Me₂pzH)₄ (I): space group P2¹/n, Z = 4, a = 10.180(3), b = 18.132(3), c = 16.601(2) , = 94.60(2)°, V = 3054.4(1) ³, d _calc = 2.059 g/cm³, R ₁ = 0.0513, wR₂ = 0.1493 for 4701 I_hkl > 2 _I of 4926 measured reflections; Re₂O₃Cl₂(-3,5-Me₂pz)₂(3,5-Me₂pzH)₂2[(3,5-Me₂pzH₂)Cl] (II): space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 16.904(2), b = 14.573(1), c = 17.401(2) , = 107.23(1)°, V = 4094.2(7) ³, d _calc = 1.848 g/cm³, R ₁ = 0.025, wR₂ = 0.0514 for 6102 I_hkl > 2 _I of 6315 measured reflections (Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer, MoK, graphite monochromator). Compound I has a molecular structure, where molecules are dimers Re₂O₃Cl₄(3,5-Me₂pzH)₄ with a bridging O atom. In II, the dominant motif is the ReOCl(3,5-Me₂pzH) fragments bridged by the pyrazole molecules and the O atom.     

Isomerization of 3-aryl-4-sulfolenes and their reaction with some nucleophilic reagents

Bases convert 3-(4-substituted phenyl)-4-sulfolenes to 3-aryl-3-sulfolenes, which are subsequently isomerized to 3-aryl-2-sulfolenes. The ratios of the products depend on the character of the substituent in the phenyl ring, and electron-acceptor substituents accelerate the isomerization.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1072–1077, August, 1975.     

Peculiarities of the photo aging of aromatic polyesters

Conclusions In the photolysis of films of polyarylates F-1 and D-9, together with destruction and structuration, there is a formation of light-absorbing o-hydroxyketone and quinoid structures in the polymers, which determines the self-stabilization of the polyesters; moreover, the basic photochemical processes take place in a thin surface layer.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2302–2304 October, 1969     

Synthesis and structure of substituted 3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones

The condensation of benzylideneacetonacetic ester with cyanoacetamide in the presence of triethylamine yielded 3-carbamoyl-3,4-dihydropyridin-2-one, while the condensation of arylidenecyanoacetamides with -aminocrotonic ester in acetic acid yielded 3-cyano-3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones. It was established by NMR spectroscopy that 3-cyano-4-R-5-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones exist in solutions in the form of a mixture of cis- and trans-stereoisomers in a 101 ratio.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1504–1508, November, 1984.

Peculiarities of the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole and synthesis of 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole derivatives

Various paths for the synthesis of 4-methylamino-3-aminoveratrole (I) from 4-amino-3-nitroveratrole (II) were investigated, and it was found that I can be obtained in a high overall yield of 65% through the tosyl derivative of II. 1-Methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazolone, 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole and its 2-phenyl-, 2-chloro-, and 2-dimethylamino derivatives were synthesized on the basis of I in order to investigate their biological activity. It was established that the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole, particularly the increased basicity of II, are determined to a significant degree by steric strains caused by bulky substituents. It is shown that 85% formic acid can be successfully used in place of 98–100% formic acid for the N-formylation of aromatic amines with a mixture of formic acid and acetic anhydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1387–1392, October, 1970.     

Ammonolysis of aziridinecarboxylic acid esters

The ammonolysis of 1-(2-methoxycarbonylvinyl)- and 1-(1,2-dimethoxycarbonylvinyl)-2-methoxycarbonylaziridines at normal pressure leads to 1-(2-methoxycarbonylvinyl)-and 1-(1,2-dicarbamoylvinyl)-2-carbamoylaziridines, respectively, whereas 1,3-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-4-one derivatives are formed under pressure.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 350–352, March, 1983.     

Peculiarities of dislocation generation by block boundaries in alkali halide crystals during ultrasonic vibrations

The generation of dislocations by block boundaries in alkali-halide crystals under the action of ultrasound was investigated making use of a computer defet modeling method. Ultrasonic vibrations were excited in a double piezoelectric oscillator at the frequencies 60 and 73 kHz. Specimens of KCl and KBr with =0° and =30°, where is the angle between the fourfold axis and the propagation direction of the ultrasound, were investigated. The change in the dislocation structure was determined from the volt-ampere characteristics. It was established that the dislocation sources located near the block boundaries started to operate at stress values one third of those at which other sources operated. Modeling showed that the existence of boundaries had a significant effect on the operation of small-size sources. The experimental estimate of the reduction of the critical stress exceeds the theoretical one.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 52–55, March, 1984.
