Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a layered vanadium oxide with an interlayer metal coordination complex: [Co(phen)3][V10O26]·H2O

A novel compound, [Co(phen)₃][V₁₀O₂₆]·H₂O, was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ccca with a=13.447(3), b=29.936(6), c=23.252(5) Å, V=9360(3) Å³, Z=8 and R=0.0285. Data were collected on a Rigaku R-AXIS RAPID IP diffractometer at 293 K in the range of 1.36<θ<24.99°. The structure of the compound consists of vanadium oxide layers, which are built up from the infinite VO₄ chains by corners and edges sharing. The [Co(phen)₃]²⁺ complexes occupy the interlayer space and contact each other via π−π stacking interactions of the phen groups to form infinite one-dimensional chains.     

Fluorous Synthesis of Biaryl-Substituted Proline Analogs by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition and Suzuki Coupling Reactions

A solution-phase synthesis of bicyclic prolines containing four points of diversity has been developed by a two-step synthesis involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of perfluoroalkylsulfonyl-protected hydroxybenzaldehydes followed by Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of fluorous sulfonates with boronic acids. Both reactions are conducted under microwave irradiation and reaction mixtures are purified by solid-phase extractions without performing chromatography.

Total synthesis of the marine alkaloid halitulin

The structure of the strongly cytotoxic marine alkaloid halitulin (1) has been confirmed by total synthesis and its absolute configuration determined as (15S). The synthesis follows a strategy previously reported by one of us and uses an efficient preparation of the quinoline-7,8-diol unit by modified Baeyer-Villiger and Skraup reactions. The O-benzyl protecting groups were removed in the last step of the synthesis by transfer hydrogenolysis without concomitant reduction of the quinoline ring. The method can be applied for the synthesis of halitulin analogues.     

Dialkylamino- and alkoxytrialkylstannanes as reagents for synthesis of organoboryl (trialkylsilyl) ketenes

Dialkylamino- and alkoxytrialkylstannanes have been studied as N- and O-nucleophilic reagents in substitution reactions at the B-Br bond. The previously unknown bis(dialkylamino)- and dialkoxyboryl trialkylsilyl ketenes were synthesized. Some peculiarities of the reactivity of these compounds have been studied.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Solid-phase synthesis of isoquinolinones using Bischler-Napieralski cyclization

Isoquinolinone is a structural unit found in many natural products having various important biological activities. A traceless solid-phase synthetic approach has been developed to prepare isoquinolinone derivatives. This approach enables one to synthesize isoquinolinones having various moieties on benzene nuclei and also can produce derivatives with a proton on the amide nitrogen.     

The reaction of chloromethylsilanes with amines,hexamethyldisilazanes, and silylcarhamates

The reactions of chloromethylsilanes with amines, hexamethyldisilazane, and silylcarbamates were studied. The dependence of the composition and structure of the resulting products on the nature of the reagents used and reaction conditions was determined. A scheme for the synthesis of 4,9-diaza-2,7-dioxa-1,6-disilacyclodecane-3,8-dione derivatives was suggested.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Combinatorial library of isoxazoles was prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on solid support. p-Cyano derivatives showed nematic and/or smectic A phases. A bilayer smectic phase for 2h is proposed by the combination of molecular mechanics calculation and X-ray diffraction experiment.     

Effects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-Carnitine on Sucrose-Induced Hyperlipidaemia

Summary. L-Carnitine, L-(−)-β-hydroxy-γ-trimethylaminobutyrate, plays an important role as a factor necessary for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria. In order to investigate the influence of L-carnitine on hyperlipidaemias, the experimental model of the sucrose-induced hypertriglyceridaemia of the rat was used. In these experiments L-carnitine in the dose of 11 mg per day and 100 g body weight (over the period of 1 week) was able to antagonize the sucrose-induced hypertriglyceridaemia and the increase of serum free fatty acid level in female rats of the Wistar strain. Carnitine administration did not change the activities of lipogenic enzymes and fatty acid synthesis in the liver. However, L-carnitine increases the rate of hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Our results indicate a hypotriglyceridemic and free fatty acid lowering effect of L-carnitine, and suggest the use of this compound in the therapy of hyperlipidaemias.
