Dibromomethane as One‐Carbon Source in Organic Synthesis: Formal Total Synthesis of (±)‐Nephrosteranic Acid

A diastereoselective formal total synthesis of (±)‐nephrosteranic acid (10) is described. The key step is to introduce the α‐methylene group by the ozonolysis of monosubstituted alkenes followed by reaction with a preheated mixture of CH₂Br₂–Et₂NH. The α‐methyl group of compound 10 was formed from the reduction of the corresponding α‐methylene precursor.

Mass spectrometry of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) adducts with the dinucleosidemonophosphates d(ApG), d(GpG) and d(TpC) in an ion trap

The detection and fragmentation behaviour of adducts of the chemotherapeutic cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) with the dinucleosidemonophosphates d(ApG), d(GpG) and d(TpC) as model compounds for DNA adducts in an ion trap with electrospray ionization were studied. Mainly the monofunctional adduct, the bifunctional adduct and the bifunctional adduct with platinum bridging two dinucleosidemonophosphates were detected. In addition, several more complex adducts were seen resulting from reactions among these species. Adduct formation was low in the case of d(TpC). Fragmentation could be controlled strongly by varying the temperature of the transfer capillary; furthermore, tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) experiments on both the monofunctional and the bifunctional adducts were performed. For the adducts of d(ApG) and d(GpG) losses of NH(3) and HCl were the most dominant reactions, followed by the losses of one, then another two units of 98 amu from the sugar-phosphate backbone, whereas d(TpC)-Pt predominantly forms the dinucleosidemonophosphate. In the gas phase, the conversion of the monofunctional into the bifunctional adducts through binding to another site in the dinucleotide accompanied by loss of NH(3) or HCl could also be observed. The removal of a ligand from the coordination sphere of the square-planar platinum complexes appeared to be the crucial step for the induction of further fragmentation of the dinucleotide ligand. MS(n) experiments of the bifunctional adducts of d(ApG) and d(GpG) revealed different fragmentation pathways involving the loss of phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, deoxyribose units (intact or dehydrated) and the nucleobases in different orders, leaving characteristic binding site-determining fragments. Fragmentation of these ions was also performed, mainly resulting in fragmentation of the bases. The study confirmed the remarkable stability of the platinum-guanine bond compared with other nucleobases.

Poly(1,4‐cyclohexylenedimethylene 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylate): Influence of stereochemistry of 1,4‐cyclohexylene units on the thermal properties

A series of poly(1,4‐cyclohexylenedimethylene 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (PCCD) samples, characterized by different cis/trans ratio of the 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarbonyl unit, have been synthesized and analyzed by thermogravimetry (TGA), calorimetry (DSC), and X‐ray diffraction (WAXD). The thermal stability results are good and are not affected by the stereochemistry of the 1,4‐cyclohexylene units. On the other hand, the thermal transitions are notably influenced by the cis/trans content. With the increment of the trans content the polymer changes from completely amorphous to semicrystalline material. T_g, T_m, and crystallinity increase. These results suggest that the trans configuration induces a better chain packing and higher symmetry, improving the crystallizability of the samples. The effect of the molecular structure on the thermal properties is analyzed by using a statistical approach. From the effective correlations found between stereochemistry of the C₆ rings and transition temperatures it is possible to extrapolate that the configuration of 1,4‐cyclohexylene ring deriving from 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid or dimethyl 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylate results to be the main element responsible for the thermal properties. This is due to the high rigidity of the 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarbonyl unit with respect to 1,4‐cyclohexanedimethyleneoxy unit, deriving from the diol. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal structure of cis,cis,cis‐1,2‐epoxy‐3,5‐dibromo‐4‐hydroxy tetralin

The title compound, C₁₀H₈Br₂O₂, consists of a tetrahydronaphthalene skeleton composed of a six‐membered ring A with arene oxide, monobromo and monohydroxy atoms in cis,cis,cis configuration held in a boat conformation and a six‐membered planar ring B, where the ring B carries monobromo atom. The repulsive interactions between the Br and OH atoms affect the topology of the tetrahydronaphthalene moieties.
