Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Pyrrolylfuro[2,3‐d]Pyrimidines and Pyrrolopyrazinofuropyrimidines

5‐Amino‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐substitutedfuro[2,3‐d]pyrimidines ( 2a‐c ) were reacted with 2,5‐dimethoxytetrahydrfuran to afford the pyrrolyl derivatives 3a‐c . Compound 3a was chosen as intermediate for the synthesis of poly fused heterocycles incorporated furopyrimidines moiety 4–11 . Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

Zur Theorie der Chiralitätsfunktionen

The Algebraic Theory of Chirality Functions is derived by means of exclusively qualitative considerations. Hence, the significance of quantitative results is questionable. Moreover the construction of “Näherungsansätze” (”Approximation-Ansatz”), which may be interpreted as semiempirical methods, is achieved on the basis of plausibility and mathematical simplicity. Since physical arguments are not included, the consistency or inconsistency of “Näherungsansätze” with experimental results do not justify direct physical conclusions.     

Toward molecular electronics

A polarized N-O bond behaves as an intramolecular p-n junction. Their rectifying properties have been found in 1,3-dimethylisoxasole, 1-phenylsydnone, and 1-(4-methylphenyl)sydnone molecules based on H¹-NMR data.     

Synthesis and molecular structure of methyl 4-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranuronate

A method for the preparation of methyl 4-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranuronate and its single crystal X-ray structure determination are reported. The molecule adopts an almost ideal (4)C1 ((degree)C3) conformation.
