Synthesis of New Fluorinated Derivatives of Quinolinecarboxylic Acids

Ethyl esters of 1-(7-Z-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbamoyl)-5-X-6,7,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (X = H, F; Z = pyrrolidino-, piperidino-, hexamethylenimino-, morpholino-, thiomorpholino-) have been synthesized by the interaction of quinolone-3-carboxylic acid hydrazides with ethyl esters of 3-ethoxy-2-(polyfluorobenzoyl)acrylic acid . It was shown possible to cyclize intramolecularly the esters obtained with the formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazino[6,5,4-i,j]quinoline derivatives.     

Synthesis of Fluorinated 1,3,4-Oxadiazino[6,5,4-i,j]quinolines

3-(2-Acylhydrazino)-2-tetra(penta)fluorobenzoylacrylates are readily converted to acylamino-substituted quinolones and, under more forcing conditions, annelation of oxadiazine ring occurs. We have identified the possible cyclization of the mentioned acrylates to 4,5-substituted pyrazoles.     

Electronic spectra of the MgC4H and MgC6H radicals

Electronic transitions of the linear MgC 4H and MgC 6H radicals have been observed in the gas phase using laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The species were prepared in a supersonic expansion by ablation of a magnesium rod in the presence of acetylene, diacetylene, or methane gas. The transitions were recorded in the 445-446 nm region and assigned to the A (2)Pi- X (2)Sigma (+) systems ( T 0 = 22 431.978(7) and 22 090.08(7) cm (-1)) based on previously reported mass-selective resonance-enhanced ionization spectra and the rotational structure. A spectral fit in MgC 4H yields the rotational constants B' = 0.04619(19) cm (-1) for the X (2)Sigma (+) state and B' = 0.04748(20) cm (-1) for A (2)Pi. Astrophysical implications are briefly addressed.     

Fluorine-Containing Heterocycles: VIII. Transformations of 2-Polyfluorobenzoylacrylates Having a Thiosemicarbazide Fragment

Depending on the conditions, 3-(4-R-thiosemicarbazido)-2-polyfluorobenzoylacrylates can be converted into the corresponding potassium salts, [1,3,4]thiadiazino[6,5,4-ij]quinolines, and pyrazole or 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.     

1,2,4-Triazino[5,6,1-i,j]quinolines: a new type of tricyclic analogs of fluoroquinolones

The interaction of C-aryl-substituted amidrazones and S-methylisothiosemicarbazide with 3-ethoxy-2-polyfluorobenzoylacrylates results in corresponding N-(quinolin-1-yl)amidines that undergo conversion into derivatives of 1,2,4-triazino[5,6,1-i,j]quinoline by heating in acetic anhydride.     

Fluoro-containing Heterocycles: V. Cyclization of 3-Azolylamino-2-polyfluorobenzoylacrylates

The heating of ethyl 3-azolylamino-2-polyfluorobenzoylacrylates in acetonitrile in the presence of KF gave rise to derivatives of 1-azolyl-substituted quinolones or azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.     

Nonlinear electrophoresis of protein-detergent complexes

A comparatively new procedure is described for the nonlinear electrophoresis of proteins. Movement and separation of complexes formed by proteins and ionic detergents is first experimentally demonstrated for SDS rainbow colored protein molecular weight markers (Amersham). This result was revealed by SDS-PAGE in an asymmetric zero average pulsed electric field with a peak amplitude of up to 300 V cm(-1) and a frequency of 100 Hz. The highest molecular weight fractions were found to have the highest nonlinear drift velocity. A two-dimensional map of distribution of the protein complexes developed using nonlinear electrophoresis followed by SDS gel electrophoresis in an orthogonal direction, reveals nonuniform distribution of the fractions. Nonlinear electrophoresis can be run without electrode chambers, since the buffer electrolyte is not used up in alternating electric fields. Thus, this new type of electrophoresis can have advantages in microfluidic systems and biochips. Also possible uses are discussed of nonlinear electrophoresis via nonlinear focusing of protein-detergent complexes for further improvement of the SDS-PAGE technique for the separation and examination of these large hydrophobic complexes.
