Synthesis of D-D4FC, a biologically active nucleoside via an unprecedented palladium mediated Ferrier rearrangement-type glycosidation with an aromatization prone xylo-furanoid glycal

D-D4FC (1) is an anti-HIV agent currently under phase II clinical trial (Pharmaset Inc). Its molecular architecture is suitable for a Ferrier rearrangement kind of operation on a furanoid glycal to fix the position of the double bond and the relative stereochemistry. Despite the fact that classical Ferrier rearrangement does not work on furanoid glycals, a palladium mediated modified protocol has been developed for the glycosidation of an aromatization prone xylo-furanoid glycal (5) for the synthesis of D-D4FC.     

Sorption of C6 Alkanes in Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieve, AlPO4-5

Sorption of C₆ alkanes viz.,n-hexane, 2-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane, cyclohexane and methyl cyclopentane in AlPO₄-5 is studied and sorption capacity and thermodynamic parameters (H⁰, H, G, S and S_a) at various sorption coverage for these sorbates have been estimated. The initial heat of sorption (H⁰) is found to increase with the degree of branching in the alkane chain. The sorbate-sorbate interactions are found to be more prominent during the sorption of doubly branched alkanes and cyclic alkanes and a higher sorption capacity has been observed for cyclic alkanes. Based on the results obtained, a packing model has been proposed for various C₆ alkanes inside the AlPO₄-5 channel.     

Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments of two phytosterols from roots of Piper nigrum

Using modern NMR techniques, including DQF-COSY, NOESY, HETCOR and HMBC, the full assignments of all 1H and 13C chemical shifts were made for stigmastane-3,6-dione and stigmast-4-ene-3,6-dione, isolated from the roots of Piper nigrum (Piperaceae). Their stereochemistry was resolved by a combination of 2D NOESY data and analysis of coupling constants. The two compounds were isolated from the genus Piper for the first time.

A new compound,[RbHTNR]_∞[HTNR:C_6H(NO_2)_3(OH)O],was synthesized by the reaction of rubidium ni-trate and styphnic acid.The molecular structure was characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis,elementalanalysis and FTIR spectroscopy.The crystalline is monoclinic with space group P2_1/n and the empirical formulaC_6H_2N_3O_8Rb.The unit cell parameters are:a=0.4525 nm,b=1.0777 nm,c=1.9834 nm,β=90.47(2)°,V=0.96725 nm~3,Z=4,D_c=2.263 g/cm~3,Mr=329.58,F(000)=640,μ(Mo Kα)=5.165 mm~(-1).The thermal decompo-sition mechanism of the complex was studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry(TG-DTG)and FTIR techniques.At the linear rate of 10 ℃/min,the thermaldecomposition of the complex showed three mass reducing processes between 60 and 500 ℃,and finally evolvedRbCN and some gaseous products.     

Reactions of 2,3-Dioxopyrrolo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]isoquinolines with Active N-Nucleophiles

It is shown that 2,3-dioxopyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines react readily with aliphatic diamines and hydroxyamine with opening of the dioxopyrrole ring and formation of the corresponding bisenaminoketoamides and hydroxamic acids. Reaction with the thiosemicarbazide and hydrazides of aromatic acids proceeds without opening of the pyrrole ring at the ketone carbonyl. Derivatives of hexahydropyridazine are formed when compounds with carboxyethyl groups at position 1 react with hydrazine. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, 1383–1387, September, 2005.     

Synthesis of arylidene derivatives of N-unsubstituted pyrrolin-2-ones

5-Alkyl(aryl)-3-arylidene-3H-pyrrolin-2-ones were synthesized by ammonolysis of their O-heteroanalogs or by the reactions of 5-alkyl(aryl)-3H-pyrrolin-2-ones with aromatic aldehydes. The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectra.     

Synthesis of some sulfur-containing pyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidines

4-Methylthiopyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidin-2-one and 2-hydroxypyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidine-4-thione derivatives were synthesized by the addition ofN-(4-R-pyrid-2-yl)acetoacetamides (R = H, Me) to CS₂ under phase-transfer conditions followed by the alkylation of the reaction products with Mel. The molecular structure of 3-acetyl-4-methylthiopyrido[1,2-α]pyrimidin-2-one is established by X-ray analysis.     

Reaktionen von Tetraphosphortrichalkogeniden mit Alkyliodiden

Reactions of Tetraphosphorus Trichalcogenides with Alkyl Iodides Reactions of alkyl iodides RI (R = CHI₂, CH₂I or tert-Butyl) with P₄E₃ (E = S or Se) under the influence of light resulted in cleavage of the basal P₃ ring. β-P₄E₃(I)R was formed initially, then it rearranged to the more stable α-P₄E₃(I)R structure. ³¹P NMR data of these products were measured and discussed, along with ⁷⁷Se data for α- and β-P₄⁷⁷SeSe₂(I)CHI₂. On reaction of P₄S₃ with tert-butyl iodide in CS₂ or with sec-butyl iodide or iso-propyl iodide in dioxane, the new type of compounds P₅S₂R was observed. In this a sulfur bridge of P₄S₃ is replaced by a P? R group. ³¹P-NMR data for these compounds are reported.     

Neue Alkalioxoarsenate(V): NaLi2[AsO4] — ein neuer Formeltyp [1]

New Alkali Oxoarsenates(V): NaLi₂[AsO₄] — A New Type of Formula [1] . By heating of well ground mixtures of the binary oxides As₂O₃, Na₂O, and Li₂O₂, molar ratio As:Na:Li = 1.0:1.0:2.0, in a well closed Ni tube (650°C, 21 d) colourless single crystals of NaLi₂[AsO₄] were obtained for the first time. The new orthoarsenate(V) crystallizes orthorhombic (space group P mn2₁-C, No. 31) with Z = 2. The structure determination showed that it is isostructural to β_II-Li₃[VO₄] and that means the Li₃[PO₄]-type. The lattice constants a = 702.9(2) pm, b = 520.5(1) pm, c = 505.4(2) pm were taken from Guinier-Simon powder data. The structure was determined by four-circle diffractometer data [Philips PW 1 100, AgKα , 679 independent out of 2 373 I_o(hkl), R = 3.03%, R_w = 2.29%; parameter see text]. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, and Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, these calculated via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, are calculated and discussed.     

Complexing tendencies of UO 22+ and Th4+ in their mixed ligand complexes with aminopolycarboxylates and resorcinol or its derivatives

Formation contants (log K _MAL ^MA ) of mixed ligand complexes MAL, where M = UO ₂ ²⁺ or Th⁴⁺, A = IMDA, NTA, HEDTA, EDTA, CDTA or DTPA, and L = resorcinol (res), 2-methyl resorcinol (2-Me-res), 5-methyl resorcinol (5-Me-res) or 4-chloro resorcinol (4-Cl-res), have been determined pH-metrically by the Irving-Rossotti approach at 25°C and at an ionic strength,I = 0.2(moldm⁻³KNO₃). The observed stability sequences are IMDA > NTA > HEDTA > EDTA > CDTA > DTPA, and 4-Cl-res > 5-Me-res > 2-Me-res > res with respect to primary and secondary ligands, respectively. Th⁴⁺ forms more stable mixed complexes than UO ₂ ²⁺ . The A ΔlogK values are negative due mainly to the charge repulsion involved in the complexation MA + L⇋MAL.
