Preparation and stereoselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ofD-glucose-derived nitrones to N-arylmaleimides

Summary Nitrones2 derived fromD-glucose oxime and benzaldehydes without employing any protection of hydroxyl group were isolated in pure state. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of2 to N-arylmaleimides gave predominantly theanti isoxazolidines3 and was rationalized byZ/E isomerization of N-glycosylnitrones2. The structure and steric configuration of the products have been assigned on the basis of¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. AM1 calculations of the nitrones and MM2 calculations of the adducts were performed.

Darstellung und Stereoselektivität der 1,3-dipolaren Cycloaddition vonD-Glucose-abgeleiteten Nitronen an N-Arylmaleimiden

Zusammenfassung Die Nitrone2 wurden ausD-Glucoseoxim und Benzaldehyden ohne Schutz von Hydroxylgruppen in reinem Zustand erhalten. Die 1,3-dipolare Cycloaddition von2 an N-Arylmaleimiden ergab bevorzugt dieanti-Isoxazolidine3; dies wurde über eineZ/E-Isomerisierung der N-Glycosylnitrone2 rationalisiert. Struktur und Stereochemie wurden auf Basis von¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektroskopie ermittelt. Außerdem wurden AM1-Berechnungen an den Nitronen und MM2-Rechnungen an den Addukten ausgeführt.

     

Photochemical synthesis of 2-amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-9-alkyl(aryl)imines

Irradiation of a mixture of 1-aryloxy-2-amino-9,10-anthraquinone and amines in benzene results in formation of the derivatives of 2-amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-9-alkyl(aryl)imines in a high yield. 2-Amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-9-aikylimines were shown by¹³C and¹⁵N NMR to exist predominantly in the enaminoquinoid form whereas 2-amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-9-arylimines exist in the oxyimine form. Sunlight irradiation of the derivatives of 2-benzoylamino-9,10-anthraqumone-9-alkylimines results in formation of the photocyclization products — 4-benzoylaminoanthra-[9,1-d,e]-1,3-oxasinones-7.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nucleosides 4: Synthesis of 2′,3′-Didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxydoridosine and 2′,3′-Dideoxydoridosine as Potential Antihypertensive Agents

To measure the hydrophobic character of the ribose moiety of doridosine on the adenosine receptors, 2′,3′-didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxydoridosine (2) and 2′,3′-dideoxydoridosine (3) were prepared. Initial treatment of doridosine with N,N-dimethylformamide diethylacetal, and subsequently with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride gave 5. Compound 5 was then reacted with 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole and the resulting thionocarbonate 6 was heated with triethyl phosphite at 135°C to afford 7. Treatment of compound 7 with tetrabutylammonium fluoride and methanolic ammonia furnished compound 2 in good yield. Compound 2 was subjected to catalytic hydrogenation affording compound 3 in 85% yield.     

Oxidation-Induced Structural Alterations and Its Effect on Chaperone Function of Rat Lens α-Crystallin

An ascorbate-FeCl₃-EDTA-H₂O₂ system was used to oxidize rat lens α-crystallins. Under this oxidative insult, the chaperone activity of α-crystallin toward γ-crystallin was shown to decrease significantly, which is quite different from the result reported by Wang and Spector. (Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 1995 , 36, 311-321.) Fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism were employed to characterize the structural changes of oxidized α-crystallin. It was found that fluorescence intensity of l-anilinonaphthalene-8-sul-phonate (ANS) bound to oxidized α-crystallin increased comparing to that bound to normal α-crystallin, suggesting oxidation causes the exposure of more hydrophobic regions. Further, α-crystallin's fluorescence intensity in response to tryptophan residues showed a pseudo first order decline. Amino acid analysis of normal versus oxidized α-crystallin confirmed actual decline in tryptophan levels, showing about 80% of tryptophan being modified after 10-hour oxidation. Circular dichroism showed both changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of oxidized α-crystallin, characterized by a large loss of aromatic-type amino acid interactions and a large loss of β-sheet structure. In conclusion, modified tryptophan, secondary and tertiary structural changes of α-crystallin correlate best with the reduction of chaperone function, the curves all showing a linear slope for 10 hours, then plateauing. These results indicate that the decrease of α-crystallin chaperone activity is attributed to the structural changes.     

离子液体存在下脂肪醛的环化三聚反应

Aliphatic aldehydes such as ethanal,propanal,n-butanal,isobutyraldehyde,n-valeraldehyde,isovaleraldehyde,n-hexanal and n-octanal were converted into the corresponding 2,4,6-trialkyl-1,3,5-trioxanes through cyclotrimer-ization in the presence of the ferric chloride based ionic liquids at room temperature without solvent in high selec-tivity.The effects of different ionic liquids,acidity of ionic liquids and temperature on cyclotrimerization were alsostudied.The results showed that the ferric chloride based ionic liquids(apparent molar fraction of FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62))were a kind of efficient catalysts for the cyclotrimerization of aliphatic aldehyde which could be separatedconveniently from the reaction mixture and recycled without loss of catalytic activity.The conversion of isobu-tyraldehyde and the selectivity to 2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-trioxane were 91.1% and 99.8% respectively under opti-mum reaction condition(isobutyraldehyde 25.0 g,[Et_3NH]Cl/FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62)1.0 g,25 ℃for 1 h).     

Effect of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane on IR spectra of HCl complexes withN,N-dimethylformamide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone formed by a strong quasi-symmetric hydrogen bond

The effect of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE) on the IR spectra of HCl complexes withN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (N-MP) with strong quasisymmetric hydrogen bonds was studied using Multiple Attenuated Total Reflection (MATR) IR spectroscopy. The addition of TCE does not change the background absorption spectra, but results in a change in the extinction coefficients of some bands of these complexes. The analysis of the spectra shows that the HCl−DMF complexes interact only with one molecule of TCE, and the HCl−N-MP complexes interact with two molecules of TCE. It is shown that the neutral component of the system (TCE) has no effect on the parameters of the strong quasi-symmetric H-bond in the complexes studied. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
