Reaction of aminoquinolines with unsaturated carboxylic acids. 2. Cyclization of N-quinolyl-β-alanines

The cyclization of N-(3-quinolyl)- and N-(6-quinolyl)--alanines was carried out to give uncondensed hexahydropyrimidine derivatives, while the cyclization of N-(5-quinolyl)- and N-(8-quinolyl)--alanines gave tetrahydrophenanthrolinone derivatives.Communication 1, see ref.

Synthesis of a model cyclic triblock terpolymer of styrene,isoprene, and methyl methacrylate

The synthesis of a model cyclic triblock terpolymer [cyclic(S‐b‐I‐b‐MMA] of styrene (S), isoprene (I), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was achieved by the end‐to‐end intramolecular amidation reaction of the corresponding linear α,ω‐amino acid precursor [S‐b‐I‐b‐MMA] under high‐dilution conditions. The linear precursor was synthesized by the sequential anionic polymerization of S, I, and MMA with 2,2,5,5‐tetramethyl‐1‐(3‐lithiopropyl)‐1‐aza‐2,5‐disilacyclopentane as an initiator and amine generator and 4‐bromo‐1,1,1‐trimethoxybutane as a terminator and carboxylic acid generator. The separation of the unreacted linear polymer from the cyclic terpolymer was facilitated by the transformation of the unreacted species into high molecular weight polymers by the evaporation of the reaction solvent and the continuation of the reaction under high‐concentration conditions. The intermediate materials and the final cyclic terpolymer, characterized by size exclusion chromatography, vapor pressure osmometry, thin‐layer chromatography, IR and NMR spectroscopy, exhibited high molecular weight and compositional homogeneity. Dilute‐solution viscosity measurements were used as an additional proof of the cyclic structure. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 1476–1483, 2002     

Synthesis of 9-arylamino- and (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles by reactions of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes with aryl amines

Heating mixtures of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes and aryl amines under argon afforded 9-arylamino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, via cyclization of the resulting 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldimine intermediates. Heating in the presence of oxygen afforded (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, which were successfully hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to give pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones.     

Self‐Assembly of Dialkyltin Moieties and Mercaptobenzoic Acid into Macrocyclic Complexes with Hydrophobic “Pseudo‐Cage” or Double‐Cavity Structures: Supramolecular Infrastructures Involving Intermolecular C?H⋅⋅⋅S Weak Hydrogen Bonds and π–π Interactions

Four novel organotin complexes of two types—[R₂Sn(o‐SC₆H₄CO₂)]₆ (R=Me, 1 ?H₂O; nBu, 2 ) and {[R₂Sn(m‐CO₂C₆H₄S)R₂Sn(m‐SC₆H₄CO₂)SnR₂]O}₂ (R=Me, 3 ; nBu, 4 )—have been prepared by treatment of o‐ or m‐mercaptobenzoic acid and the corresponding R₂SnCl₂ (R=Me, nBu) with sodium ethoxide in ethanol (95 %). All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, TGA, and X‐ray crystallography diffraction analysis. The molecular structure analyses reveal that both 1 and 2 are hexanuclear macrocycles with hydrophobic “pseudo‐cage” structures, while 3 and 4 are hexanuclear macrocycles with double‐cavity structures. Furthermore, the supramolecular structure analyses show that looser and more intriguing supramolecular infrastructures were also found in complexes 1 – 4 , which exist either as one‐dimensional chains of rings or as two‐dimensional networks assembled from the organometallic subunits through intermolecular C? H???S weak hydrogen bonds (WHBs) and π–π interactions.     

Hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes catalyzed by platinum nanoparticle core-polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer shell nanocomposite

Platinum nanoparticle core-polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer shell nanocomposites (Pt@G_n-NACl) were prepared and used as catalysts for hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes to anilines with molecular hydrogen under mild conditions. The as-prepared nanoparticles have mean particle size from 2.0 to 5.5 nm, depending on the molar ratio of the metal and the dendrimer. The Pt nanoparticles demonstrate near-monodisperse when the molar ratio of Pt and G₃-NACl is below 30. The interaction among three carboxyl groups terminated at the dendron and the metallic core keeps the Pt nanoparticles from agglomerating. The colloidal solution of Pt nanoparticles stabilized by the dendrimer, in which the molar ratio of Pt/G₃-NACl was less than 60, is stable without precipitation for several weeks. The dendrons attach to the metal core radially, and a substantial fraction of the surface of the metal nanoparticle is unpassivated and available for catalytic reactions. Turnover frequencies for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes to anilines change from 353 to 49 h⁻¹ depending on the dendrimer generation and substrates. The dendrimer catalysts are stable during the catalytic hydrogenation process and can be recovered by centrifugation and reused. The results suggest the effectiveness of polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer as a stabilizer for the preparation of Pt nanoparticle catalysts.

Trends in the CNDO/2 molecular orbital study of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs

An investigation of electronic structure in some neurotransmitter drugs has been made using the CNDO/2 semi-empirical molecular orbital method.The electronic structure has been conveniently characterized by the electronic parameters nett atomic population (NAP) and bond index (BI). A variation of these electronic parameters with respect to conformation has been studied and has been found unlikely to exceed 0.1 e in most. cases. Further, the useful extent to which the electronic parameters of some commonly occurring functional groups may be regarded as conformationally invariant has been demonstrated. Also presented are (i) a discussion on the intramolecular close-approach of functional groups — the interaction between terminal —COO^? and ?NH₃⁺ groups of α-ω anaino acids is explicitly considered; (ii) an enquiry into the extension of ‘standard’ (idealized) geometry models in the elucidation of electronic structure.The implication of the results and observations presented here are briefly discussed with reference to classical and quantum structure-activity studies of drug molecules.     

Transformed steroids

A preparative method for 9a-hydroxylation of ⁵-3-hydroxysteroids using the fungi ofCircinella sp. 10Kh-1220 not capable of modifying theA ring has been developed. It is established that the yields of the main and the side products greatly depend on the transformation conditions, mycelium age, and the structure of the steroid substrate. Under the optimal transformation conditions novel 9-hydroxysubstituted derivatives of androstenolone, pregnenolone, 16-dehydro-16,17-epoxy-, and-16-methoxypregnenolone have been obtained in 36–80 % yields.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
