(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

Comparison of enantiomer separation on two chiral stationary phases derived from (+)-18-crown-6-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid of the same chiral selector

Liquid chromatographic comparisons for enantiomer resolution of α-amino acids and chiral primary amino compounds were made using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) prepared by covalently bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-TA) of the same chiral selector. The resolution of all α-amino acids on CSP 1 developed in our group was found to be better than that on CSP 2 reported by Machida et al. All α-amino acids examined in this study were well enantioseparated on CSP 1 (α=1.22–2.47), while four analytes were not resolved or all the other analytes were poorly resolved on CSP 2 than on CSP 1. However, in resolving the primary amino compounds without a carbonyl group, CSP 1 was comparable with CSP 2. Although (+)-18-C-6-TA of the same chiral selector was used to prepare CSP 1 and CSP 2, this study showed that different connecting methods for the CSPs might influence their ability to resolve the analytes depending on their structures related to the chiral recognition mechanism.     

Synthesis,characterization and biological activity of some 1,2,4‐triazine derivatives

4‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐3‐(2H)‐thioxo‐5‐(4H)‐oxo‐1,2,4‐triazine ( 1 ) was condensed with 2‐methyl (or phenyl)‐4H‐3,1‐benzoxazin‐4‐one ( 5a,b ) in boiling acetic acid to give compounds 8‐11 . Reacting 1 with chloroacetyl chloride afforded the corresponding chloroacetamido and triazinothiadiazine derivatives 12 and 13 . Condensing 2 with succinic anhydride and/or phthalic anhydride yielded compounds 14 and 15 . Benzoylation of 4‐amino‐6‐methyl‐3‐(2H)‐thioxo‐5‐(4H)‐oxo‐2‐(2,3,4,5‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐α‐D‐glucopyra‐nosyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine ( 19 ) afforded the corresponding 4‐N,N‐dibenzoyl derivative 20 . Deblocking of the N‐2 glycoside 21 and the S‐glycoside 22 by methanolic ammonia gave compounds 23 and 24 . Acetylation of 4‐amino glycoside 25a afforded the corresponding 4‐mono‐ and 4‐diacetyl derivatives 26 and 27 . Deamination of 25a,b yielded compounds 28a,b . Methylation of compound 28b afforded the corresponding N4‐ and S‐methyl derivatives 29 and 30 .     

Correlation between Solution and the Solid State: The pH Dependent Composition in the Ternary System [Co(H2O)6]2+ or [Ni(H2O)6]2+/Piperazine/Phosphate

The protolytic equilibria of piperazine (C₄H₁₀N₂) and phosphate have been investigated in the presence of cobalt or nickel chloride or nitrate by potentiometric titrations between pH 2 and 8. Potentiometric titrations suggest the presence of [M²⁺(H₂O)₅(C₄H₁₁N₂⁺)]³⁺ and [M²⁺(H₂O)₅(C₄H₁₀N₂)]²⁺ in solution with stability constants logK of 3.1 and 3.8 for M = Co and 3.1 and 3.6 for M = Ni, respectively. Crystallization experiments were then conducted at selected pH values to isolate desired species from the known solution composition. Crystallization afforded [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺(C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺)(HPO₄^2—)₂ at pH 3.5 and 6.2 (M = Co, Ni), and Co₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O at pH 10.5. No crystals with the dihydrogenphosphate anion or a metal‐bound piperazine ligand could be isolated under the reaction conditions. The solid‐state assembly in the isomorphous structures of [M(H₂O)₆](C₄H₁₂N₂)(HPO₄)₂ with M = Co and Ni is based on an extended hydrogen bonded network between the three ionic building blocks.     

Spectroscopic characterization and preparation of low molecular,water‐soluble chitosan with free‐amine group by novel method

Low molecular, water‐soluble chitosan (LMWSC) with a free amine group was prepared by the novel salts‐removal method described in this study. A weight‐average molecular weight and degree of deacetylation (DDA) of LMWSC were determined by viscometry and Kina titration, resulting in 18,579 Da and 93% DDA, respectively. In the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectra the absorption band by the carboxyl group derived from lactic acid and the impurities formed in the enzymatic process disappeared or were significantly lower than that of the control chitosan. Also, from the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra the empirical value for the area ratio of the proton and carbon corresponds nearly to its theoretical values. The matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrum identified the difference in the two adjacent peaks as 161. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]biscrown-n. Syntheses, crystal structures, and metal binding abilities

A series of novel tetrahomodioxacalix[4]biscrowns with crown-2, crown-3, crown-4, crown-5, and crown-6 units were synthesized. Conformations of each product are dependent on the base used and their conformation stabilities. All conformations were proven by NMR spectra and/or X-ray crystal structures. The 1,3-alternate homodioxacalix[4]biscrown-4 (4b) shows the best selectivity for K+, whereas the 1,3-alternate homodioxacalix[4]crown-5 (5) does for Cs+. Those selectivities are attributable to electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the crown ring, as well as a pi-metal complexation. However, the C-1,2-alternate conformation does not take the metal ions regardless of the crown species as a result of steric hindrance from the methylene bridge of an ArCH2Ar unit.     

Novel Sesquiterpenes from the Fungus Lactarius piperatus

Four novel sesquiterpenes, namely 7α,8β,13‐trihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 2 ), isoplorantinone ( 5 ), 4,8,14‐trihydroxyilludala‐2,6,8‐triene ( 6 ), and 8‐hydroxy‐8,9‐secolactara‐1,6‐dien‐5,13‐olide ( 10 ), together with six known ones, 7α,8β‐dihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 1) , 7α,8α‐dihydroxy‐5,13‐marasmanolide ( 3 ), isolactarorufin ( 4 ), blennin A ( 7 ), blennin D ( 8 ), and lactarorufin ( 9 ), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Lactarius piperatus. The structures of these sesquiterpenes, representing diversified structural types, were determined mainly by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D‐NMR techniques. The structure of 6 was further confirmed by a single‐crystal X‐ray‐diffraction determination.     

用硼酸作催化剂一锅法合成双（二氢化嘧啶酮-4-基）苯

A simple effective synthesis of bis(dihydropyrimidinone-4-yl)benzene derivatives, using boric acid as catalyst,from isophthalic aldehyde or terephthalic aldehyde, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea or thiourea in glacial acetic acid was described. As the expansion of the classical Biginelli reaction, this method has the advantage of excellent yields 83%-94% and short reaction time 0.5-1.5 h.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic Studies,and Crystal Structures of Phenylorganotin Derivatives with [Bis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)amino]benzoic Acid: Novel Antituberculosis Agents

The novel triphenyl adduct of 2‐[(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)amino]benzoic acid (HDMPA; 1 ), i.e., [SnPh₃(DMPA)] ( 2 ), the dimeric tetraorganostannoxane [Ph₂(DMPA)SnOSn(DMPA)Ph₂]₂ ( 3 ), and the monomeric adduct [SnPh₂(DMPA)₂] ( 4 ), where DMPA is monodeprotonated HDMPA, have been prepared and structurally characterized by means of IR, ¹H‐NMR, and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by X‐ray crystallography. Single‐crystal X‐ray‐diffraction analysis of 1 revealed that there are two molecules in the asymmetric unit, HD1 and HD2 , differing in conformation, both forming centrosymmetric dimers linked by H‐bonds between the carboxylic O‐atoms. X‐Ray analysis of 2 revealed a pentacoordinate structure containing Ph₃Sn coordinated to the carboxylato group. Significant C? H/π interactions and intramolecular H‐bonds stabilize the structures of 1 and 2 , which self‐assembled via C? H/π and π/π‐stacking interactions. The Ph₃Sn adduct 2 was found to be a promising antimycobacterial lead compound, displaying activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The cytotoxiciy in the Vero cell line is also reported.
