SOLID PHASE SYNTHESIS OF ISOXAZOLINES

1. INTRODUCTION A solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS) has increasingly attracted chemist抯 attention over the past decades [1~3]. It was found that the compounds with biological activity are mostly derived from heterocycle structures. It is therefore no…     

Perfectly alternating segmented polyimide-polydimethyl siloxane copolymers via transimidization

New strategies for the synthesis of perfectly alternating segmented polyimide-polydimethyl siloxane copolymers were developed by utilizing a transimidization method. Imide oligomers endcapped with 2-aminopyrimidine were reacted with aminopropyl terminated (dimethyl siloxane) oligomers to afford perfectly alternating segmented imide siloxane copolymers. The polymerization was conducted in solvents such as chlorobenzene and chlorofrom. High molecular weight, fully imidized perfectly alternating segmented imide siloxane copolymers were obtained within 2 h at temperatures of 60-110°C. The mechanism of the reaction was further elucidated via model compounds and NMR characterization. The block copolymers exhibited two T_gs due to the microphase separation of the polyimide and polysiloxane phases. The T_g of the polyimide phase was a function of the length of the polyimide block. However, partial phase mixing was also evident from the DSC results on the imide siloxane copolymers prepared with low molecular weight polyimide segments. Thermooxidative stability and tensile properties of the perfectly alternating segmented imide siloxane copolymers were found to be principally dependent on the amount of poly (dimethyl siloxane) incorporated in the copolymer and did not correlate with the poly (dimethyl siloxane) or polyimide block lengths. The stress-strain behavior of both solvent cast films or molded films is also reported. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Rapid and efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of 5-amino-3-aralkoxy(methoxy)amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The microwave-assisted synthesis of 5-amino-3-aralkoxy(methoxy)amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from N¹-aralkoxy-(methoxy)-N³-cyano-O-phenylisoureas and hydroxylamine is described. N¹-Aralkoxy(methoxy)-N³-cyano-O-phenylisoureas are readily accessible by treatment of diphenyl N-cyanimidocarbonate with O-substituted hydroxylamines.     

Total synthesis of (+)-xyloketal D, a secondary metabolite from the mangrove fungus Xylaria sp.

(+)-Xyloketal D was prepared in a one-pot multistep domino reaction by heating optically active 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-methylenepentan-2-one (R) in toluene with 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone. The absolute configuration of the natural product was confirmed by preparation of the starting enone from a lactone of established absolute configuration.     

Crystal Structure of 10-(2'''',5''''-Dimethoxybenzylidene) Anthrone

1 INTRODUCTION The 10-benzylidene anthrones which are important intermediate for organic syntheses[1～3] usually possess thermochromism[4] and photo- chromism[5], and have been found recently to have evident anti-cancer activity[6]. We found that the substituents in the phenyl ring will affect the bioactivity of those compounds. For more deeply investigating the structure-activity relationships (SAR) and understanding interactions between the three dimensional structure of the compound …     

Synthesis of 4-Pyridyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones

4-Pyridyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones were obtained by the condensation of ethyl nicotinoyl- or isonicotinoylacetates with o-phenylenediamine. Alkylation of the pyridylbenzodiazepinones with ethyl iodide under phase-transfer catalysis conditions occurred at the amide nitrogen of the heterocycle, whereas in nitromethane it occurred at the nitrogen of the pyridine substituent. Bromination with N-bromosuccinimide occurred at position 3 of the heterocycle. Pyridyldibenzodiazepinones underwent thermal rearrangement to derivatives of vinylbenzimidazole.     

Construction of a Novel 2D Polymer [Co（dmpzm）（dca）2]∞ from Reaction of a Mononuclear Complex [Co（dmpzm）Cl2] with Sodium Dicyanamide （dca） [dmpzm=bis（3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl）methane]

Reaction of COC12.6H20 with equimolar bis（3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl）methane （dmpzm） produced a mononuclear adduct [Co（dmpzm）Cl2] （1）. Treatment of 1 with sodium dicyanamide （dca） afforded a polymeric complex [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）2]∞ （2）. 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cobalt atom in 1 adopts a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, bound to two N atoms of one dmpzm and two Cl atoms. Complex 2 has a 2D brick-wall network （extended along the bc plane） in which the { [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）]2} n^2n＋ chains are interconnected by pairs of μ-dca anions along the c axis. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 were also investigated.     

Complex lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates K2R(CrO4)(PO4) (R = Dy-Lu, Y)

The conditions of formation of complex lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates K₂R(CrO₄)(PO₄) were found and these compounds were synthesized by solid-state synthesis with variation of the starting compounds, the temperature of synthesis (500–800 °C), and the annealing time (6–200 h). These salts are typical of late lanthanides, R = Dy-Lu, Y. Using lutetium derivatives as examples, it was shown that no similar compounds with lithium or sodium are formed. All the complex chromate(VI)-phosphates obtained decompose under static conditions at temperatures above 550 °C. They are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system. The unit cell parameters for thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium compounds were calculated. It is shown by IR spectroscopy that PO₄ tetrahedra in the crystal lattice of potassium lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates are substantially distorted, whereas the CrO₄ tetrahedra retain the regular tetrahedron symmetry (T _d ).

Synthesis and Structure of Ba[ZrN2] and Ba2[NbN3]

Ba₃N₂ reacts at 950°C under pure N₂ with Zr to yield dark red, air-sensitive Ba[ZrN₂]. This new compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nmm with a = 416.10(2), c = 839.2(1) pm and Z = 2. The crystal structure was solved and refined using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. In the nitrido zirconate [ZrN₂]^2? the Zr atoms exhibit a square-pyramidal coordination by five N atoms at distances of 201(3) and 220.2(2) pm. The pyramids share all the edges in the basal plane to form layers parallel to (001) with their apices alternately pointing up and down. The Ba²⁺ cations are integrated into these layers at the levels of the pyramidal apices. The structure can be interpreted as a stuffed PbFCl type. Ba₂[NbN₃] is formed by the reaction of Ba₃N₂ and NbN or of Ba and Nb at 1 000°C under N₂. Isostructural to Ba₂[TaN₃] it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 613.2(3), b = 1 176.8(3), c = 1 322.9(4) pm, β = 91.65(2)°, Z = 8. The nitrido niobate anions form chains of corner sharing NbN₄ tetrahedra with distances Nb? N between 188(1) and 199.9(9) pm.     

Enzymes in Organic Synthesis: Application to the Problems of Carbohydrate Recognition (Part 1)

Carbohydrates on cell surfaces are information molecules. Although only seven or eight monosaccharides are commonly used as building blocks in mammalian systems, the multifunctionality of these monomers can lead to the assembly of an immense variety of complex structures. Millions of different tetrasaccharide structures, for example, can be constructed from this small number of building blocks, if branching, the stereochemistry of glycosidic linkages, and the modification of hydroxyl and amino groups are taken into consideration. Oligosaccharides therefore represent an effective class of biomolecules that code for a vast amount of information required in various biological recognition processes, such as intercellular communication, signal transduction, cell adhesion, infection, cell differentiation, development and metastasis. The pace of development of pharmaceuticals based on carbohydrates has, however, been slower than that based on other classes of biomolecules. Part of the reason is the lack of technologies for the study of complex carbohydrates. There is no method to amplify oligosaccharides for sequence analysis. There is no machine available for automated synthesis of oligosaccharides. In addition, the possibly poor bioavailability and difficulties in the large-scale synthesis of carbohydrates have undoubtedly contributed to this slow pace. The enzymatic and chemoenzymatic methods, especially those based on aldolases and glycosyltransferases, described here appear to be useful for the synthesis of mono- and oligosaccaharides and related molecules. Further advances in glycobiology will probably lead to the development of new technologies for the study of carbohydrate recognition and for the synthesis of bioactive carbohydrates and mimetics to control the recognition processes.
