    Notes: Summary The activity of pairs of neurons in the visual cortex (area 17) of anaesthetized, paralysed cats was recorded using two independently manipulated micropipettes. The number of spikes in the evoked responses of pairs of single neurons were analyzed for response covariance. Responses of the majority of cell pairs (83%) did not covary. Covariance was restricted to closeby neurons with distances of less than 150 μm and with identical orientation and ocular dominance preference.

    Notes: Summary In a previous study observations in semithin sections of E-PTA-stained cerebellar cortex of the cat revealed differences in size of synaptic grids between the molecular and granular layer (Van der Want et al. 1984). In addition, synaptic size differences were observed between superficial and deep levels in the molecular layer. The present study was an attempt to analyze synapses in ultrathin sections of the cerebellar cortex with special emphasis on size differences of distinct types of synapses at different levels in the molecular layer. Climbing fibers were identified by means of anterograde transport of 3H-leucine injected in the inferior olive and parallel fibers were identified on account of fine structural criteria. Synaptic profiles were measured semi-automatically in the neuropil of the cerebellar cortex at the supra-Purkinje level and the subpial level. Measurements of the trace- and chordlength were obtained from random sections. The frequency distribution of the true diameters of the synapses was reconstructed with a discrete “unfolding”-procedure. The overall diameter at the superficial level was 390.2±1.5 nm, at the deep level 406.6±1.5 nin. Climbing fibers exhibited mean values of 431.9±4.7 and 461.3±4.1 nm at these levels and parallel fiber terminals mean values of 370.7±2.9 and 395.8±3.0 nm. The frequency distributions showed remarkable and statistically significant differences compared with the overall distributions observed at the superficial and the deep levels respectively. The frequency distributions of synaptic diameters at the superficial and deep levels also differ significantly. The results suggest that synapses are characterized by a specific size which might be related to the region of termination or might be determined by the afferent neuron. This is in agreement with earlier observations in E-PTA treated material.

    Notes: Summary Medium-sized and large superior collicular neurons were retrogradely labelled after small ejections of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex in the lateral reticular nucleus of the feline medulla. The projection from the superior colliculus to the lateral reticular nucleus is bilateral with a contralateral predominance. It originates mainly from the intermediate, but also from the deep gray layer of the superior colliculus. Our observations provide evidence that the lateral reticular nucleus is an important target of tectal efferents. The findings are discussed in relation to the organization of other fiber connections of the superior colliculus.

    Notes: Summary At the supra Purkinje layer and the subpial level in the molecular layer of lobules V and VI of the cerebellar cortex of the cat, synaptic profiles were measured in ultrathin serial sections treated with either osmium tetroxide (OsO4) or ethanolic phosphotungstic acid (E-PTA). From trace and chord lengths of the intercepts of synaptic profiles the curvature and the mean caliper diameter of the synapse was calculated. In OsO4-material the curvature of synapses yielded an average angle of about 47 degrees and about 36 degrees in E-PTA material. Although these values are contrary to the assumption of a flat disc, which is commonly required in stereological procedures to estimate caliper diameter, the effect of the curvature on the estimation of the mean caliper diameter is limited. This is shown by serial reconstruction analysis of the largest diameter of synapses from maximal arc and chord length measurements at the subpial and supra Purkinje level. The results provide quantitative data concerning synaptic size, curvature and the frequency of intercepts per synapse at the subpial and supra Purkinje level in the cerebellar cortex in OsO4 and E-PTA material. In addition the advantages and disadvantages of E-PTA and osmiumtetroxide staining in quantitative analysis are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Large injections of horseradish peroxidase throughout major portions of the right cerebral hemispheres of four cats revealed extensive distributions of the neurons of origin of the corpus callosum, the anterior commissure and the hippocampal commissures in the uninjected left hemispheres. The distributions of labelled neurons were mapped by semiautomatic computer microscope. The radial and tangential neuron distributions presented here are of a higher density and greater extent than those in previously published studies based on injections of transportable label to more circumcribed areas of the cerebral cortex of the cat. Generally, commissural neurons in the cat were distributed in a bilaminar fashion with supragranular cells more numerous than infragranular cells.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the physiological properties of ganglion cells in the retina of the cat. The experiments were designed to identify those ganglion cells which project to direction-selective cells in the nucleus of the optic tract (NOT), by demonstrating their antidromic activation at low threshold from an electrode in the NOT. These ganglion cells presumably provide the retinal drive to the optokinetic reflex. Altogether, 11 such ganglion cells were identified in a population of 578 cells studied. All 11 were W-cells, with slow-conducting axons. Five of the 11 had on-centre direction-selective receptive fields; the other 6 had a variety of receptive field patterns. Thus, on centre-selective cells form a much higher proportion of the retinal input to direction-selective cells in the NOT than of the overall ganglion cell population. However, their receptive field properties were too varied fully to account for the selectivity of NOT cells for horizontal stimulus movement. In summary the retinal input to the NOT appears to be formed principally or entirely by W-class ganglion cells, including many which are direction selective. It still seems necessary, however, to postulate, some non-retinal mechanism to account for all the receptive field properties of direction-selective NOT cells.

    Notes: Summary The directional preferences, receptive field areas, peristimulus-time (PST) histograms and spontaneous activities of 112 feline visual cortical (area 18) cells were studied before, during, and after the administration of nitrous oxide. These cellular characteristics were altered by nitrous oxide inhalation; some quite substantially. The data indicate that the functional characteristics of cortical visual cells, such as the receptive field and the directional preference, are variable; and, among other factors, depend also on the anaesthetic administered to the animal.

The results are compared with previous measurements of pupil width and height in awake animals (Kappauf 1943); and with estimates of pupil width, height and area in lightly-anaesthetised cats (Wilcox and Barlow 1975). The implications of these results for retinal illumination and colour discrimination are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The labelling pattern of the feline lateral cervical nucleus (LCN) was investigated after pressure injections of lectin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase into cervical, thoracic or lumbar segments of the spinal cord. Sixteen cats received a 5–8 nl injection staining large parts of mainly the ipsilateral grey matter of a single segment. Light microscopic examination of frozen sections reacted with tetramethylbenzidine showed a somatotopic organization in the LCN. Rostral segments of the spinal cord projected mainly to rostroventral and medial parts of the ipsilateral LCN, while more caudally located segments projected to more dorsocaudal and lateral parts of the nucleus. Minor contralateral labelling with a similar somatotopic arrangement was seen in animals given cervical and lumbar injections. No significant labelling was found in the LCN of three control animals, the segmental injections of which were engaged mainly into the ipsilateral dorsal columns and the dorsolateral funiculus. Ultrastructural analysis in two animals which received multiple cervical or lumbar injections showed that about 70% of the peroxidase-positive structures in the LCN were boutons and the rest small myelinated axons. The precise termination pattern of ascending afferents to the LCN is compatible with the somatotopic organization of the other relay centres in the spino-cervicothalamic pathway.

    Notes: Summary Previous investigations (Irle and Markowitsch 1982a, 1983, 1984) demonstrated that triple or fourfold lesions within the cat's limbic system fail to produce learning impairments, as opposed to lesions of single or double loci, when tasks of visual reversal, delayed alternation, and active two-way avoidance were used. On the basis of these results, limbic regions of the cat's brain might be considered unessential for intact learning and mnemonic functions. Therefore, in order to obtain indisputable information on the importance of the limbic system for learning and memory, lesions of nearly all limbic core regions of the cat were performed. Ten cats received lesions of seven limbic core regions: the septum, amygdala, anterior thalamus, mamillary bodies, cingulate cortex, subicular cortex, and the hippocampus proper. Nine of these animals were tested postoperatively in the acquisition of a visual reversal task, a spatial alternation and delayed alternation task, and an active two-way avoidance task, and were then compared to the performance levels of ten control animals. The experimental animals turned out to be unimpaired in all tasks tested; the performance scores in the visual reversal and delayed alternation task and — for some experimental animals in the active two-way avoidance task even indicate a slight, though statistically insignificant, facilitation in the learning behavior of these animals. It is assumed that the learning functions underlying the tasks used were taken over by other brain regions, which, prior to massive limbic lesions, may be suppressed or otherwise inhibited. Alternatively, utilization of spared tissue in the damaged limbic regions must be considered as the possible explanation.

    Notes: Summary Two preparations were used to study the developmental effects of prolonged blurring of retinal images on the acuities of retinal ganglion cells. Five kittens were raised from three weeks to six months of age with daily administration of atropine to one eye. Another two kittens were raised from three weeks to 16 weeks with a contact lens of high refractive power fitted to one eye. Behavioural estimates of the visual acuity were made for two animals from each group. Animals of both groups demonstrated an amblyopia in the experimental eye: visual acuity varied from 1.8 to 2.5 cycles per degree compared with 6.0 to 7.5 cycles per degree when using the normal eye. The spatial resolving properties were measured for retinal ganglion cells within the amblyopic eyes of two lens-reared cats and three atropinized cats. Brisk-sustained (X) cells were recorded from along the naso-temporal division. The acuities of ganglion cells from the lens-reared cats were indistinguishable from those from normal cats at comparable eccentricities. However, for the cats raised with atropine administration, sub-normal acuities were determined for retinal ganglion cells from all regions that were studied in the experimental eye. We conclude that blur of retinal images produced by external means has no effect on the resolving power of retinal ganglion cells. The lowered ganglion cell acuities encountered with the atropinised cats must be attributable to a secondary effect of the atropine administration. Organic changes in the retinal blood vessel pattern support this contention.

    Notes: Summary The connections between the pericruciate cortex and the medullary reticulospinal (RS) neurons were studied in anesthetized cat. Intracellular recordings were made from reticulospinal neurons and the effects of stimulating different areas of the pericruciate cortex were compared. (1) EPSPs were elicited in all the 93 neurons studied which were antidromically activated by spinal stimulation and had an IS-SD notch on the ascending limb of their antidromic spikes. According to the conduction velocity (c.v.) of the axon and the minimal EPSP latency to cortical stimulation, the neurons could be divided into two groups, i.e. fast-conducting RS neurons (FRS neurons, c.v. 〉 45 m/s) and slow-conducting RS neurons (SRS neurons, c.v. 〈 45 m/s). The minimal latencies of FRS neurons were equal to or shorter than 2 ms whereas those of SRS neurons were longer than 2 ms. (2) EPSPs with short latency (〈 2 ms) could be evoked in FRS neurons by stimulating a relatively wide cortical area including the major part of precruciate area 4 and area 6, with a central area of strongest excitatory effect located in area 4 slighthly medial to the tip of the cruciate sulcus. Stimulation of the postcruciate area 4 only produced long latency EPSPs. (3) By extrapolation from the cortical and peduncular latencies and the conducting distances it was revealed that the earliest part of the minimal latency EPSPs were monosynaptically evoked in FRS neurons and were mediated by fastconducting corticobulbar fibers. (4) FRS neurons could be excited by stimuli applied to both ipsilateral and contralateral pericruciate cortex. The influence from the contralateral cortex was slightly stronger.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of single tensor tympani motoneurons was investigated following antidromic identification and intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase. Eight motoneurons were selected for complete reconstruction and quantitative analysis. The mean size of tensor tympani somata (26.3±1.8 μm) make this parvocellular cluster of motoneurons below the trigeminal motor nucleus a population of the smallest cranial motoneurons yet described. Axons emerged from either the soma or a primary dendrite. They coursed dorsolaterally frequently through the trigeminal motor nucleus before looping ventrolaterally into the Vth nerve. No collaterals were observed within the brainstem. The 5 primary dendrites of each cell branched heavily and, on average, exhibited 40 terminal branches with an average tree expansion of 1262.5 μm. The dendritic arborization extended far beyond the nuclear boundaries described by the distribution of cell bodies. These data suggest that the overall membrane area for synaptic innervation is large and thus it provides morphological evidence for the hypothesis that tensor tympani motoneurons receive divergent multisensory synaptic input. The latter assumption was supported by morphological and electrophysiological evidence including close the proximity of motoneuronal dendrites to auditory (superior olivary complex) and somatosensory (trigeminal) relay centers. Since no dendrite ever entered the trigeminal motor nucleus proper the tensor motoneuron pool is distinct from the trigeminal not only in terms of soma size, location and function, but also the disposition and expansion of the postsynaptic receptive field. Based on these criteria the tensor tympani motoneuron pool should no longer be regarded as an accessory trigeminal nucleus but be recognized in its own right as the tensor tympani motor nucleus of V.

    Notes: Summary Ten kittens had cannulas inserted into their lateral ventricles for daily injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). At 5–6 weeks of age one eye was sutured shut, and one week later recordings were made from the visual cortex to assay the ocular dominance of a sample of cells. In six kittens the injections of 6-OHDA were continued until the day before recording, while in four kittens the injections were stopped around the time of eye suture, on the assumption that continued injections of 6-OHDA over several days has effects that are not specific to the noradrenaline (NA) system and that the two procedures might show different results. In all animals the concentration of NA in the visual cortex near the site of recording was reduced by approximately 90%. In all animals the ocular dominance histograms recorded from the visual cortex were shifted so that the majority of cells (83 ± 13%) were dominated by the open eye. There were no substantial differences between the two groups of experimental animals or between the experimental animals and two control animals that had cannulas implanted and ascorbate alone injected without 6-OHDA. We conclude that the concentration of NA in the visual cortex can be reduced substantially by injections of 6-OHDA into the lateral ventricle without preventing the shift in ocular dominance that usually occurs after suturing shut the eyelids of one eye.

    Notes: Summary In a previous study in the cat, we have reported that motor cortex neurons discharging before the initiation of an aimed forearm response (lead cells) are better timed to movement of a display (stimulus) than to the response. The present study was done to distinguish the coding of stimulus and response features in the discharge patterns of such early activity in motor cortex. Single neurons were recorded in the arm area of motor cortex in three cats performing the same pair of responses (forearm flexion and extension) but to display movements in either of the two directions by changing display polarity. The modulation of lead cell activity was contingent on the occurrence of the learned motor response and timed to the stimulus in all conditions. The majority of lead cells (88%, n = 50) fell into one of two distinct classes. In one class of neurons, force-direction (56%, n = 32), activity was contingent on a single direction of forelimb response (flexion or extension) and was thus independent of the direction of the display stimulus. The only muscles whose patterns matched the activity of this class of response-related neurons were forelimb flexors and extensors. In these neurons, the onset of modulation was timed to one or the other of the two stimuli according to the stimulus direction which elicited the appropriate response. Thus, the display-related input to these neurons varied according to the response required. In the second class of neurons, stimulus-direction (32%, n = 18), modulation was associated with a specific stimulus direction rather than the response direction. The pattern of activity of these neurons was similar to the pattern of EMG signals of shoulder and neck muscles during the different task conditions. The contraction of proximal and axial muscles corresponded to a second response elicited by the stimulus, namely attempts at head rotation towards the moving display and was independent of the conditioned forelimb response in both time of onset and direction. To test the possibility that stimulus-direction neurons participated in the control of head rotation we trained two of the animals to also produce isometric changes in neck torque in the direction of the moving display without making the forelimb response. The activity of stimulus-direction neurons was similarly modulated during performance of the neck task. By contrast, force-direction neurons examined during the neck task were either unmodulated or discharged after the neck response. These data suggest that force-direction neurons participate in response initiation and that their activity is triggered by stimuli specific for the task. The reorganization of the inputs to motor cortex is likely to result from gating mechanisms associated with behavioral set. Such neural gates could provide for the efficient transfer of any member of an array of behaviorally relevant stimuli to restricted sectors of the somatotopically organized motor areas.

    Notes: Summary In this study we demonstrate at the ultrastructural level that both the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), the visual relay of the thalamus, and the perigeniculate nucleus (PGN), the visual segment of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), are densely innervated by fibres with Choline-Acetyl-Transferase (ChAT) like immuno-reactivity. These axons make synaptic contacts with interneurones considered to be inhibitory, both in the PGN and within the synaptic glomeruli of the dLGN. In addition, Chat positive terminals form intra- and extraglomerular synapses with dendrites thought to arise from relay cells. We interpret these results as evidence for direct cholinergic modulation of both relay cells and inhibitory interneurones.

    Notes: Summary Interaction of semicircular canal and neck proprioceptive inputs was studied in the cerebral cortex of awake, intact cats. Neuronal responses were recorded extracellularly in the anterior suprasylvian gyrus of the left hemisphere. Stimulations consisted of horizontal rotations in the dark applied as sinusoids or position ramps. There were three stimulus conditions: (1) Pure canal stimulation; rotation of whole body. (2) Pure neck stimulation; rotation of trunk about stationary head. (3) Canalneck interaction; rotation of head about stationary trunk. (1) We recorded 105 neurons with either Type I or Type II canal response. These showed often pronounced non-linearities such as a clear firing increase upon rotation in the “on-direction” and hardly any decrease in the opposite direction. The responses reflected mostly angular velocity, but angular position signals were also obtained. (2) In 79 neurons, either Type I or Type II neck responses were obtained. They coded either angular velocity, velocity plus position, or position. (3) Canal-neck convergence was found in 67 of 88 neurons tested. In the majority of neurons, interaction was “dantagonistic” in the sense that the canal and neck responses tended to cancel each other during rotation of the head about the stationary trunk. These neurons could signal trunk rotation in space rather than head in space or head relative to trunk. Most of the remaining neurons showed a “synergistic” interaction such that the response upon head rotation was enhanced as compared to whole body or trunk rotation. These neurons might be involved in the dual task of monitoring head rotation in space and relative to trunk. Interaction was compatible with linear summation of canal and neck inputs in 70% of the neurons. In part of these, however, the assumption had to be made that the interaction had taken place already at some stage prior to the cortical neurons investigated. The response characteristics of cortical canal neurons are discussed in comparison to vestibular nuclear neurons. Furthermore, parallels are drawn between the observed canal-neck interactions in the cortical neurons and (i) interactions of canal and neck dependent postural reflexes in the decerebrate cat, and (ii) interactions of canal and neck induced turning sensations in man.

    Notes: Summary 1. Six cats monocularly deprived by eye lid closure within the first week after birth showed the same deficits in the optokinetic reflex (OKR) when tested through the deprived eye as adults irrespective of whether the deprivation period was 6, 24 or 36 months. Closed loop gain (eye velocity/ stimulus velocity) during temporo-nasal stimulus movement was below 0.8 and approached zero at stimulus velocities above 20°/s. Naso-temporal stimulus movement was ineffective in eliciting OKR gain higher than 0.1 at velocities above 10°/s. 2. Different optokinetic deficits were found when the non-deprived eye was tested. In 3 cats OKR gain of the non-deprived eye was reduced with temporally directed stimulus movement when compared to normal whereas the gain of nasal OKR was uneffected. In these cats only monocular cells could be found in the nucleus of the optic tract (NOT), a pretectal cell aggregation involved in the optokinetic reflex pathway. In the other 3 cats the OKR of the non-deprived eye was not different from normal and could be elicited almost equally well in both directions. In these cats binocular cells were found in the NOT ipsilateral to the non-deprived eye. Again duration (6, 24 or 36 months) of monocular deprivation had no influence on this dichotomy. 3. In a cat with asymmetric OKR of the non-deprived eye, the removal of the visual cortex ipsilateral to the non-deprived eye produced a small but significant gain decrease for temporal OKR of the non-deprived eye but no change when the deprived eye was tested. Visual cortex lesion ipsilateral to the deprived eye in the same cat had also no effect on the deprived eye's performance but reduced nasal OKR gain for the non-deprived eye at high velocities. 4. The effects induced by long term monocular deprivation were not reversed after intensively forcing the use of the deprived eye by closing the non-deprived eye. Also enucleation of the deprived eye had no effect on the gain of the non-deprived eye. 5. These optokinetic deficits are discussed in relation to functional changes in the NOT.

    Notes: Summary The laminar pattern of cytochrome oxidase activity was studied in visual cortical areas 17,18 and 19 in adult cats and kittens, following electrophysiological determination of the boundaries of these areas in all but the youngest animals. The patterns of cytochrome oxidase staining and the cytoarchitectonic appearances of areas 17, 18 and 19 were compared. At all ages activity was especially high in the region of layers IV and VI in areas 17 and 18, and was low in all laminae in area 19. The results suggest that the degree of cytochrome oxidase activity in these regions of the visual cortex may be related to the strength and type of projection that they receive from the lateral geniculate nucleus. The cytochrome oxidase technique is a useful means of defining the 18/19 border, and may help locate the boundary between areas 17 and 18, in both adult cats and kittens.

    Notes: Summary Inhibitory interactions between interneurones of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the cat were studied with an indirect method based on intracellular recordings of synaptic responses in principal cells. Recurrent inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), evoked by antidromic activation of principal cell axons in the visual cortex, were depresse by a preceding stimulation of the optic tract or the visual cortex. Disynaptic feed-forward IPSPs, evoked by optic tract stimulation, were likewise depressed after cortex stimulation. The duration of the depression was in both cases about 100 ms. The effect was not due to conductance changes in the recorded principal cells or to activation of corticogeniculate fibres. The observations indicate that perigeniculate neurones, the recurrent inhibitory interneurones of the LGN, have mutual inhibitory connexions and that they also project to intrageniculate interneurones, the inhibitory cells in the feed-forward pathway to principal cells. These conclusions were supported by intracellular recordings from a few interneurones. No evidence was found for interaction between feed-forward interneurones activated from separate eyes or for a projection from intrageniculate interneurones to perigeniculate cells. The results point to an unexpected similarity in the organization of the recurrent inhibitory system of principal cells in the LGN and of spinal motoneurones. It is suggested that the recurrent system of the LGN serves as a variable gain regulator in analogy with a recently proposed model for the spinal system.

    Notes: Summary The effect of stimulation of the medial and lateral reticulo-hypothalamic-hippocampal (RHH) systems on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and electrical activity of the hippocampus and neocortex was examined in 19 encéphale isolé cats. ECoG was recorded from posterior sigmoid gyri and marginal gyri and hippocampal activity from dorsal hippocampus. Changes in hippocampal activity were evoked by electrical stimulation of RHH systems. CBF was measured by external monitoring of the clearance of 133Xe given as a single bolus in the carotid artery. Stimulation of the lateral system resulted in desynchronisation of ECoG and hippocampal activity without changes in CBF. Stimulation of the medial system elicited desynchronisation in ECoG modulated by theta-like synchrony, theta activity in the hippocampus and a 45% CBF increase. After atropine administration, low frequency, high voltage waves appeared in both ECoG and hippocampal activity, but no change in CBF was observed. During stimulation of the medial system there were no changes in the type of electrical activity but the CBF response was still preserved (increase by 50%). Stimulation of the lateral system did not change either the type of electrical activity or the CBF. The results indicate that the two systems of neuronal pathways, which mediate two different patterns of electrical response in the dorsal hippocampus but similar ECoG activity in the neocortex, elicit different CBF responses. It is argued that the alterations of electrical activity of the neocortex and hippocampus mediated by these two pathways depend on the cholinergic system, whereas the CBF changes depend on a different mechanism.

    Notes: Summary Neuronal responses in the pretectum (PT) were analyzed in 4–16 week old kittens after visual and electrical stimulation and compared with adult responses from a previous study. All three retinal fiber types projecting to the adult PT could be electrically activated in kittens from 4 weeks on. There was a dramatic reduction of response latencies to electric shocks to retinal afferents applied at the optic chiasm (OX) and optic tract (OT) in postsynaptic cells as a function of age, involving X-, Y-, and Wfibers. At four through six weeks postnatally the reduction in latency was found to be due to enhanced signal transmission at the axonal terminal region. Latency reduction continued after six weeks of life due to sharp increases in conduction velocity of the afferent fibers. Different steps in the maturation of visual response specifity were found for neurons of different functional types. Possible relationships are discussed between the development of neuronal responses of pretectal cells and the maturation of oculomotor behavior.

    Notes: Summary The sensory corticopretectal projection in the cat and in its postnatal development were investigated combining neuroanatomical and electrophysiological techniques. The anatomical pattern of fiber termination was studied in relation to age using the anterograde HRP tracing method. Large injections were made in areas 17 and 18 of one or both hemispheres in 1–13 week old kittens and cats. Terminal label in the ipsilateral pretectum was seen only after the fourth week of life. Electrical stimulation in the same cortical areas evoked postsynaptic orthodromic excitation in 9–18% of cells at 4 weeks increasing to about 60% in the adult. In cats, but not in kittens, successful stimulation depended on the retinotopic matching of stimulation and recording sites. In adult cats a high incidence of direction and velocity tuning and a high degree of binocularity were seen in cells driven by the cortex as opposed to cells not so driven. Cortex driven cells in cats and kittens received convergent retinal input mainly via direct W-fibers, whereas cells not driven from cortex shock mainly received delayed W-fiber input. In kittens visual responses lacked sensitivity for direction and high movement velocity of patterns until 6 weeks postnatally, whereas ocular dominance distribution was not age-dependent.

    Notes: Summary Responses of striate cortical neurones to bars of optimal orientation and width, moving with fixed velocity, were recorded in the lightly anaesthetized cat. Effects of periods of pre-adaptation with square-wave gratings of variable spatial frequency and velocity, drifting continuously in each cell's preferred or null directions, were investigated. Variations of cells' directional bias and responsiveness to oriented bars were assessed in relation to the degree and time-course of pre-adaptation to drifting gratings, compared with the preceding level of firing when exposed to uniform backgrounds of the same average luminance. All cells showed some susceptibility to pre-adapting moving gratings: subsequent responses to a bar were initially depressed in the direction of pre-adaptation and, in direction-biased or bidirectional cells, were enhanced in the opposite direction, compared with bar responses following exposure merely to a uniform background. These effects were strongest and most consistent amongst standard complex cells and weakest amongst special complex cells: maximal effects were obtained with adapting gratings of optimal velocity and spatial frequency.

    Notes: Summary Experiments were carried out to determine the effects of different types of experimental strabismus on the acuities of retinal ganglion cells. Six kittens were raised from twenty-one days of age with an esotropia surgically induced by myectomy of the lateral rectus muscle and a large portion of the superior oblique muscle. The results are compared with those, previously reported, from five other cats also made esotropic, but by tenotomy of the lateral rectus. All animals tested behaviourally were amblyopic in the strabismic eye. For square wave gratings, the visual acuities were 1.0 to 2.5 cyc/deg through the strabismic eye compared with 6.0 to 7.5 cyc/deg through the non-deviating eye. The cut-off spatial frequencies were determined for 132 brisk sustained cells from five of the myectomized strabismic cats. There was a loss of approximately 20% in cut-off spatial frequency when compared with both normal and tenotomized cats. A correlate of the physiologically observed difference between the tenotomized cats and the myectomized cats was also found in the morphology of cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus. The tenotomized cats showed no evidence of cell shrinkage in laminae receiving a projection from the amblyopic eye whereas in the myectomized cats large differences were observed in cell cross-sectional areas between laminae receiving input from the amblyopic eye and those receiving input from the non-deviating eye. Together, these findings indicate that the presence of a neural deficit in the retina of strabismic cats is associated with the actual removal of extra-ocular muscle and probably has little to do with the optical quality of images arriving at the retina.

    Notes: Summary The role of the corpus callosum in the mediation of binocular depth perception was examined by measuring monocular and binocular depth discrimination thresholds in cats which had undergone section of the corpus callosum shortly after birth. Three kittens had the posterior callosum sectioned at the age of eleven days. A fourth kitten underwent a sham operation and one additional animal served intitially as an unoperated control. Monocular and binocular depth thresholds were measured for all kittens when they were between three and five months old. Although there was some individual variability, none of the callosum-sectioned kittens showed any deficits of binocular depth perception relative to normal animals. The initially unoperated kitten had its callosum sectioned at five months and was retested following surgery. Its performance did not change from preoperated levels. Finally, the three neonatal callosum-sectioned kittens underwent section of the optic chiasm when they were six months old, causing a complete breakdown in binocular depth discrimination. The results are interpreted to indicate that although the corpus callosum may be a sufficient pathway for the maintenance of stereopsis in cat, it is not necessary.

    Notes: Summary Following injections of horseradish peroxidase-wheat germ agglutinin conjugate (HRP-WGA) and tritiated leucine into area 20 of the cat, terminal labeling was observed in visual areas 19, 21, the splenial visual area, the lateral suprasylvian area as well as in premotor, association and limbic related cerebral cortical regions. Labeled terminals in the subcortex were distributed in the caudate nucleus, the claustrum, the putamen, the anterior ventral nucleus, the intralaminar nuclei, the caudal division of the intermediate lateral nucleus, the lateralis posterior-pulvinar complex, the parvocellular C laminae of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. In HRP-WGA preparations, retrogradely labeled somata were observed in these regions with the exception of certain subcortical structures. The projections are discussed with respect to the possible role area 20 plays in the cortical control of pupillary constriction.

    Notes: Abstract The β-carbolines, which are potent ligands for benzodiazepine receptors, antagonize the pharmacological actions of benzodiazepines. In the cat, the stable β-carboline derivative methylamide-β-carboline-3-carboxylate, FG 7142, and the specific benzodiazepine antagonist Ro 15-1788 reversed behavioral and electroencephalographic (EEG) changes produced by a single dose of diazepam. Surprisingly, the β-carboline did not elicit signs of withdrawal when given after 22 days of a daily dose regimen of diazepam, while Ro 15-1788 precipitated an acute abstinence syndrome largely characterized by tremors, increased muscle tone, back arching, myoclonic jerks and pupil dilatation. Unlike Ro 15-1788, the β-carboline produced effects of its own such as behavioral states of arousal and fearfulness. These findings indicate that the β-carboline functionally interacts with benzodiazepine receptors in a manner unlike that seen with typical agonists and antagonists.

    Notes: Abstract Ventilatory responses to stimulation of chemoreceptor afferents were studied in the anesthetized, spontaneously breathing cat. Short bursts of electrical stimuli were applied, at various times in the inspiratory or expiratory phase of consecutive breaths, to the carotid sinus (CSN) and aortic nerves (AN) and to the ventral medulla (VM), and effects on tidal volume (V T), inspiratory, expiratory and cycle durationst I,t E,t tot) and in ventilation (E) were measured. The responses evoked by stimulating CSN, AN and VM were qualitatively the same, although there were quantitative differences. It was found that effects of stimulation in expiration were restricted to the expiratory phase, and vice versa for inspiration. Stimulation during both inspiration and expiration resulted in increasedV T, by increasing end-inspiratory or decreasing end-expiratory lung volume, respectively, and also increased ventilation, E. These effects were most marked in response to stimulation in inspiration. During both phases there was an increasing effect with increasing delay of the stimulus,t St, from onset of inspiration or expiration, respectively. There was a continuous increase int I, from below control to above control values, with increasingt St during inspiration and similarly fort E during expiration. Hence, the total respiratory cycle duration was shortened when a stimulus was applied early in either phase, and was prolonged, when it was applied late. The results show that stimulation of peripheral and of central chemoafferents exerts qualitatively similar effects on respiration. The central neuronal mechanisms generating both inspiration and expiration show the same changes in reactivity in the respiratory cycle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs ont étudié les propriétés des nerfs afférents à la capsule de la hanche, chez le chat en imprimant à l'articulation des mouvements de rotation et sur des préparations de capsule isolée et ouverte en l'étirant directement grâce à un dispositif mécanique. In situ, on a trouvé deux types de nerfs afférents, les uns ayant en réponse à la rotation articulaire une étendue complète de sensibilité et les autres seulement une sensibilité limitée. Sur la capsule isolée les nerfs afférents sont indentiques en ce qui concerne le seuil et la sensibilité et on ne trouve aucun récepteur complet. On en conclut que les récepteurs de toute l'étendue de la sensibilité qui pénètrent les nerfs articulaires de la hanche sont des fibres en fuseau d'origine musculaire et non des récepteurs capsulaires. Sur ces bases et sur les résultats précédemment obtenus chez l'animal et chez l'homme, les auteurs discutent le rôle des récepteurs articulaires dans la cénesthésie et le sens des positions.
    Notes: Summary The properties of the afferent fibres from the capsule of the hip joint have been studied in the cat in situ, in relation to joint rotation, and in an isolated capsule preparation which was opened and stretched directly with an actuator. In situ two types of afferent fibres were found, those having a full range of sensitivity and others having only a limited range in response to the joint rotation. When studied in isolated tissue the afferent fibres of the capsule were uniform in threshold and sensitivities, and no full range receptors were found. We conclude that the full range receptors which enter the articular nerve of the hip are spindle afferents and not capsule receptors. On the basis of these and previous results in animals and man the role of joint receptors in kinaesthesia and position sense is discussed.

    Notes: Summary An antigen common to purported centriolar and basal body regions of a variety of cell types was previously visualized by immuno-fluorescence microscopy. The present study demonstrates the localization of the antigen relative to the defined basal body structures of ciliated tracheal cells at the electron-microscopic level. After ethyldimethylaminopropyl carbodiimide-glutaraldehyde-saponin (EGS) fixation and permeabilization, immunoferritin labeling is consistently found associated with amorphous electron-opaque material in proximity to basal bodies and their ciliary rootlets, but not with basal body microtubules themselves. This distribution pattern is distinct from that of other proteins found in the apical region of ciliated cells, such as calmodulin. It is proposed that the dense material may be analogous to pericentriolar material of centrosomes.

    Notes: Summary Morphology, microtopography and numerical density of oligodendrocytes were analyzed by light microscopy in the pontine gray and middle cerebellar peduncle of adult cats. The cells were selectively stained by use of the dicyanoargentate technique (Ogawa et al. 1975) that visualizes the entire cell population including perikarya and characteristic features of processes. On the basis of different microtopographical relations to neuronal perikarya and/or transversely oriented axon bundles, six groups of oligodendrocytes were separately analyzed: interfascicular, intrafascicular, perifascicular, perineuronal satellite, perifascicular-perineuronal, and “neuropil” cells. The cell morphology did not co-vary with any of these groups, but the shape of oligodendrocytes was on an average more elongated in the peduncle than in the pontine gray. The average cell density was similar in the gray and white matter (55000–56000 cells/mm3). However, 76% of the cells were concentrated near neuronal perikarya and axon bundles in a volume fraction of only 34%. Between adjacent neurons and axon bundles the cell density was even higher suggesting an additive behavior of these two topographical groups of oligodendrocytes. Axon bundles within the pontine gray contained only very few oligodendrocytes (density 6% that of the peduncle). These observations and quantitative data suggest that the perifascicular cells belong to the group of oligodendrocytes that are topographically related to axons (similar to interfascicular glia of the white matter) rather than to neuronal perikarya or neuropil.

    Notes: Summary Postcapillary venules represent the segment of the microvasculature most vulnerable to inflammatory processes. While there is a considerable body of data on the peripheral vasculature, little is known about the primary events occurring during inflammatory reactions in cererbral blood vessels. We introduce here a model by which the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes through the CNS endothelial barrier can be studied. Alpha-bungarotoxin is used as a chemotactic agent and is shown, for the first time, to act by activating the complement cascade. Leukocytes migrate through the endothelium transcellularly. Two modes of migration are described: (i) a direct mode whereby the cells use temporary pores in the vessel wall as portals, and (ii) an indirect mode whereby the leukocytes leave the vascular compartment after being enveloped by and incorporated into endothelial cells. The functional implications of these findings lead us to conclude that the direct mode of migration is a causal agent in the massive breakdown of the blood-brain barrier under acute inflammatory conditions.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of substance P-immunoreactivity (SP-IR) in the brainstem and spinal cord of normal and colchicine-pretreated cats was analysed using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique. Numerous SP-IR fibers are present in the nucleus solitarius, nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi and nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini, various parts of the formatio reticularis, substantia grisea centralis mesencephali, locus coeruleus and nucleus parabrachialis. SP-IR perikarya occur in the substantiae gelatinosa and intermedia of the spinal cord, the nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini-pars caudalis, the nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi, and the nucleus solitarius, as well as in the adjacent formatio reticularis and the medullary nuclei of the raphe. In addition, SP-IR cell bodies are located in the nuclei raphe magnus and incertus, ventral and dorsal to the nucleus tegmentalis dorsalis (Gudden), nucleus raphe dorsalis, substantia grisea centralis mensencephali, locus coeruleus, nucleus parabrachialis and colliculus superior. The results indicate that SP-IR neurons may be involved in the regulation of cardiovascular functions both at the central and peripheral level. A peripheral afferent portion seems to terminate in the nucleus solitarius and an efferent part is postulated to originate from the nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi and from the area of the nuclei retroambiguus, ambiguus and retrofacialis.

    Notes: The σ-orbital manifold of cubane 1, as suggested by its PE spectrum, is divided into two sets separated by a 3 eV gap extending from ∼ -10.5 eV to ∼ -13.5 eV. Halogen substituents with np AO basis energies falling into this gap (e.g. Cl or Br) will, therefore, hyperconjugate appreciably with both sets. Interaction with the lower-lying set will lead to the usual destabilization (‘normal’ hyperconjugation), whereas interaction with the set above will necessarily lead to a ‘stabilization’ (‘inverted’ hyperconjugation). As a result the lone-pair ionization energies of Cl or Br substituted cubanes (derived from PE spectra) are much larger than naively expected for an alkyl halide containing as much as 8 C-atoms. In particular no significant shift of the eg-1 lone-pair bands in the PE spectra of 1,4-dichloro- and 1,4-dibromocubane can be detected with respect to the first ionization energies of the free atoms Cl and Br, or of HCl and HBr.

    Notes: The title sponge is shown to contain eight new sesquiterpenoids for which a common, unusual biogenetic origin is postulated. The compounds are shown to be: (-)-(1R*,4R*)-3-(3′-furyl)methyl-2-p-menthen-7-yl acetate ((-)-8b); two diols separated as the monoacetates (-)-(1S*,4R*)-3-(3′-furyl)methyl-l-hydroxy-2-p-menthen-7-yl acetate ((-)-13a) and the (-)-(1R*,4R*)-epimer (-)-13b, the two C(4)-epimeric 4-ethoxy-3-(1′(7′),2′-p-menthadien-3′-yl)methyl-2-buten-4-olides ((+)-14a and (-)-14b), (-)-3-(3′-furyl)methyl-7-nor-2-p-menthen-l-one ((-)-11), (-)-(3Z)-1-(3′-furyl)-4,8-dimethylnona-3, 7-dien-2-yl acetate ((-)-17), and (+)-3-(5′,7′-seco-2′(10′)-pinen-7′-yl)methylfuran ((+)-15).

    Notes: Chemical synthesis and biological activities of a new α-melanotropin derivative are described. Nα-(5-Bromovaleryl)-Nα-deacetyl-α-melanotropin contains the 5-bromopentanoyl group as a chemical ‘handle’ in place of the acetyl group of the natural hormone. The synthesis involved a new protected intermediate which allowed the selective deprotection of either the Nα or Nα amino group. The title compound reacted with sodium thiosulfate to give Nα-deacetyl-Nα-(5-(sulfothio)valeryl)-α-melanotropin, a key intermediate for the preparation of tobaccomosaic virus/α-melanotropin disulfide conjugates. As a basis for the study of the conjugates, biological activities of the title compound on Cloudman S-91 mouse melanoma cell cultures (tyrosinase stimulation, binding, and cyclic AMP accumulation) were determined. They proved to be quite similar to the corresponding α-melanotropin activities. Differences in bindings may be explained by stronger hydrophobic interaction of the new derivative with the lipid phase of the target cell membranes.

    Notes: The carbonyl group in lactones and, to a lesser extent, in lactams tends to show a C—C=O angle that is larger than the O—C=O or N—C=O angle, the difference increasing in magnitude as the ring size decreases. The observed trend provides information on ratios of force constants characterising the flexibility of the s-cis-ester group and may be interpreted in terms of incipient chemical reaction to -O—(CH2)n—C≡O+. Molecular orbital calculations (MINDO/3, MNDO, EH) for model compounds provide an electronic interpretation of this angle difference in terms of an anomeric interaction between the p-type lone pair on the carbonyl O-atom and the antibonding C-O or C-N orbital.

    Notes: Cyclic octa- and decapeptides have been prepared, and their ion selectivity in solvent polymeric membranes was studied. Cyclo(-LPro-DLeu-)5 behaves as an ionophore which selects Mg2+ over Ca2+ by a factor of 100. Cyclo(LPro-LLeu)5 induces selectivity in membranes for Mg2+ over Li+, Na+ and K+ by a factor of 400, 200 and 10, respectively, while selectivity of Mg2+ over Ca2+ is poor. Some evidence is presented which indicates that certain ionophores exhibit high selectivity for monovalent magnesium complexes.

    Notes: Alkylation in the 2-Position of (2S, 4R)-4-Hydroxyproline with Retention of ConfigurationO-Acetyl-4-hydroxyproline (1b) is condensed with pivalaldehyde to give a single stereoisomer of the 2-(tert-butyl)-4-oxo-3-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-yl acetate (3). This is converted to the enolates 4 or 5, reactions of which with alkyl halides, aldehydes, and acetone (→6,9,10,11) are diastereoselective (lk-1,3-induction). Cleavage of the corresponding products furnishes the enantiomerically pure 2-deuterio-, 2-methyl-, 2-allyl-, and 2-benzyl-substituted 4-hydroxyprolines 2a-2d.

    Notes: On the Steric Course of the Reaction of Enamines Derived from Open-Chain Aldehydes and Ketones with Nitro-olefins Yielding 2,3-Disubstituted 4-NitroketonesThe relative configuration of the nitro-ketone 12 obtained by the title reaction has been proved by a Baeyer-Villiger degradation and subsequent reduction to the amino-alcohol (±)-(u)-20, the relative configuration of which is identical with a sample prepared from 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate of known configuration (Scheme 1). The stereochemical course of the title reaction is thus as predicted by our topological rule. It is assumed that the other nitro-ketones 13-18 described here are also formed by (lk)-combination of the trigonal centers of the educts (diastereoselectivity 〉 90%, see Formulae and Fig. 1). It is not possible to reverse this relative topicity by employing (Z)- instead of (E)-components of the starting materials, due to the reversibility of the primary step of these Michael additions (Schemes 2 and 3, and Fig. 2).

    Notes: On singlet excitation (λ = 254 nm), the epoxydiene (E)-3 underwent (E)/(Z)-isomerization, electrocyclic ring closure of the diene side chain leading to the cyclobutenes 4A + B, and rearrangement to the cyclohexanones 5A + B. Compounds 5A + B were presumably formed in a series of processes including a 1,3-acyl shift of the homoconjugated ketone 8, arising from (Z)-3 by a 1,5-H-shift accompanied by cleavage of the C,O-bond of the oxirane.

    Notes: Synthesis of the pentadentate ligand 2,6-bis(3-carboxy-1,2-dimethyl-2-azapropyl)pyridine yields a mixture of the racemic and meso-isomers which it was difficult to separate by column chromatography. When the cationic Co(III)-complex of this ligand was crystallized with hexafluorophosphate as anion, two distinct crystalline forms were produced. The complex of the racemic ligand, 1, has C2 symmetry and is a dihydrate; a = 8.999(8), b = 12.047(6), c = 20.65(1) Å, orthorhombic, space group Peen,Z = 4, R = 0.074 for 1439 observed reflections. The complex of the meso-ligand, 2, shows two independent molecules (2A and 2B) per asymmetric unit, both monohydrates with a resolved disordered H2O molecule in 2A; a = 10.109(4), b = 12.835(2), c = 16.651(3) Å, α = 89.5(1)°, β = 84.7(3)°, γ = 88.6(3)°, triclinic, space group P1, Z = 4, Rs = 0.054 for 4198 observed reflections. The coordination around the Co-atom is distorted octahedral in both complexes, with the coordinated H2O molecule trans to the pyridine N-atom. In the racemic form of the complex, 1, the pyridine ring is twisted about the Co-N(1) bond with respect to the plane defined by atoms Co, N(1), O(W1), N(2) and N(2P) by 17.2(2)°. In the meso-form of the complex, 2, the CH3 substituent C(8P) on atom C(4P), is now axial with respect to the 5-membered chelate ring. As a result of steric hinderance between atom O(1) and CH3(8P), the pyridine ring has been displaced from the best mean-plane formed by atoms Co, O(W1), N(2) and N(2P). The principal axis of the pyridine ring C(3)…N(1), makes an angle of 14.1(1)° (mean) with this plane. At the same time the pyridine ring is twisted about axis C(3)…N(1) with respect to this plane by 19.7(1)° (mean).

In the first step, regiospecific hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions between 1,2-dihydropyridines 1a and 10 and nitrosobenzene led to the bicyclic compounds 2a and 11, respectively, cis-Glycol formation starting from these latter adducts, followed by hydrogenolysis of the N—O bond and by exhaustive acetylation of the OH-groups, led to the diaminolyxose 5, the diaminomannose 14 and the diaminoallose 15. When starting from benzyl 1,2-dihydropyridine-1-carboxylate (1b) and using the same reaction sequence, the racemic piperidine derivative 8 was obtained.

    Notes: An empirical force-field for carbenium ions has been incorporated in Allinger's MM2 programme. Structural parameters of secondary carbenium ions calculated by this method are compared with those obtained with Schleyer's BIGSTRN calculations. The strain changes occurring upon solvolysis of secondary p-toluenesulfonates are evaluated by means of this force-field and correlated with the rate constants for solvolysis. The equation for correlation of acetolysis, relative to cyclohexyl p-toluenesulfonate, of 28 kc substrates is ΔGrel+ = 0.67 ΔEst - 0.20 (r = 0.958).

    Notes: Preparation of the Enantiomerically Pure cis- and trans-Configurated 2-(tert-Butyl)-3-methylimidazolidin-4-ones from the Amino Acids (S)-Alanine, (S)-Phenylalanine, (R)-Phenylglycine, (S)-Methionine, and (S)-ValineIn contrast to α-hydroxy and α-mercapto carboxylic acids, simple α-amino acids do not form acetal-type derivatives (2, X = NH) with pivalaldehyde. For the generation of amino-acid-derived chiral, nonracemic enolates (cf. 3), and hence, for the α-alkylation of amino acids without racemization and without an external chiral auxiliary, the imidazolidinones 12-14 were prepared diastereoselectively. To this end, the methyl or ethyl esters of amino-acid hydrochlorides were first converted to N-methylamides of amino acids which in turn were condensed with pivalaldehyde to give (neopentylidenamino)amides (11). These Schiff bases could be cyclized either to trans-or to cis-imidazolidinones (12, 14 and 13, respectively), which were obtained in enantiomerically pure form after recrystallization. The enantiomeric purities were confirmed by HPLC with chiral stationary phases or by 1H-NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral shift reagents. The configurations (cis, trans) were assigned by NOE measurements on 300- or 360-MHz 1H-NMR spectrometers.

    Notes: Enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-5-alkyl-1-benzoyl-2-(tert-butyl)-3-methylimidazolidin-4-ones (1, 2, 11, 15, 16) and trans-2-(tert-butyl)-3-methyl-5-phenylimidazolidin-4-one (20), readily available from (S)-alanine, (S)-valine, (S)-methionine, and (R)-phenylglycine are deprotonated to chiral enolates (cf. 3, 4, 12, 21). Diastereoselective alkylation of these enolates to 5,5-dialkyl- or 5-alkyl-5-arylimidazolidinones (5, 6, 9, 10, 13a-d, 17, 18, 22) and hydrolysis give α-alkyl-α-amino acids such as (R)- and (S)-α-methyldopa (7 and 8a, resp.), (S)-α-methylvaline (14), and (R)-α-methyl-methionine (19). The configuration of the products is proved by chemical correlation and by NOE 1H-NMR measurements (see 23, 24). In the overall process, a simple, enantiomerically pure α-amino acid can be α-alkylated with retention or with inversion of configuration through pivaladehyde acetal derivatives. Since no chiral auxiliary is required, the process is coined ‘self-reproduction of a center of chirality’. The method is compared with other α-alkylations of amino acids occurring without racemization. The importance of enantiomerically pure, α-branched α-amino acids as synthetic intermediates and for the preparation of biologically active compounds is discussed.

    Notes: tert-Butyl α,β-dioxobutyrate (hydrate; 1d) undergoes, at medium or high pH, the benzilic-acid rearrangement with exclusive 1,2-shift of the COO(t-Bu) group; the same is true for the corresponding isopropyl ester 1c and ethyl ester 1b at high pH, whereas at lower pH, the overall picture of these reactions is complicated by concurrent hydrolysis of the ester, followed by a 1,2-shift of the COO- group. Consequently, the shift of these electron-attracting groups cannot be considered to be systematically disfavoured (compared, e.g., with alkyl-group shifts). Kinetic measurements of the rearrangement show for both esters (as well as for the analogous ethyl ester 1b, and also for ethyl 3-cyclopropyl-α,β-dioxopropionate (4)) a characteristic rate profile: at relatively low pH, k is proportional to [HO-], approaching saturation with increasing [HO-] (interpreted as complete transformation of the substrate into the hydrate monoanion), which is followed at higher pH by another rate increase with k proportional to [HO-] (probably due to the reaction of the hydrate dianion). The similarity of k values for 1b-d shows that in the shift of COOR steric hindrance caused by R is negligible.

    Notes: The photolability of the antitumor antibiotic hedamycin (1) was investigated by irradiation in different solvents in the presence or in the absence of oxygen. The products formed were separated chromatographically and their structures determined by NMR spectroscopy. Photolysis of 1 in the presence of oxygen gave only one isolable product, photohedamycin A (3), where ring E of hedamycin had been transformed into an enol ether. The reaction in the absence of oxygen yielded the photohedamycins B, C, and D (5, 6, and 7, respectively). In these compounds, one of the epoxides of hedamycin had been opened reductively, and in photohedamycin D (7) the substituent at C(8) - originally ring E of hedamycin - was now acyclic. In addition to these compounds, the photolyses yielded a large number of unstable minor products, which could not be isolated.

On heating in the presence of a silyl enol ether, the former undergoes a complete dehydrative cyclization affording the N-acetyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 19. The addition of HCl to aldehyde (E)-5 results in the production of the 4-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine 22 which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding alcohol 23 on silica gel. Similarly, the addition of HCl or HBr to the δ-acetyl-amino-α,β-acetylenic aldehyde 15 leads to the previously unknown 4-halo-1,2-dihydropyridines 26; these are easily hydrolyzed to the 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-pyridinone 27. The ring-forming process involves a N-acyl N,O-hemiacetal as intermediate which is eventually dehydrated.

    Notes: The polar effects of substituents on reactivity in oxidation of 2-substituted anthracenes with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)/Rh(PPh3)3Cl have been investigated and compared with those obtained with TBHP/VO(acac)2 and chromic acid. The anthracene reactivities obtained from competition experiments are correlated with Hammett's σp-constants. The P-values are -2.60 for chromic acid and 0.72 for TBHP/VO(acac)2. A poor correlation with p = -0.17 (r = 0.756) was obtained for TBHP/Rh (PPh3)3Cl. It is concluded that the Rh-catalyzed reaction does not consist in electrophilic oxygen transfer to the anthracene.

    Notes: Synthesis of 3,3-Dimethylperhydro-1,4-diazepin-2,5,7-triones from 3-Dimethylamino-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine and Malonic Acid MonoamidesReaction of the aminoazirine 1 and malonic acid monoamides 5 in CH3CN yielded triamides of type 6 (Scheme 2), which were transformed to the corresponding phenylthioates 9 by treatment of a solution of 6 and thiophenol in CH3CN with HCl (Scheme 4). Cyclization of 9 to give the 1,4-diazepin-2,5,7-trione of type 10 was achieved with NaH in toluene at about 90°. It has been shown that 2-oxazolin-5-ones are intermediates in the selective cleavage of the therminal amide function of 6 (Scheme 3).

    Notes: Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution. I. A Polyazapolyoxa Cylindrical Macrotricycle and its Monocyclic SubunitpH-metry and UV spectrophotometry were used to study the complexing properties of the cylindrical macrotricycle, 1,7,13,19-tetraaza-4,16-dioxa-10,22,27,32-tetraoxatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane (1) and of its constitutive monocyclic subunit, 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane (2) with some transition and heavy metal cations (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Ag+), in aqueous medium 0.1M Et4NClO4, at 25°. The protonation constants of the ligands as well as the nature and the stabilities of the complexes formed in the pH-regions studied were determined. The tricycle 1 only formed dinuclear M2L complexes with Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ag+, accompanied in the latter case by a protonated mononuclear MLH species, and with Cu2+ and Zn2+ at high pH-values by dinuclear hydroxo complexes. Only mononuclear complexes were evidenced with the other cations, ML being accompanied either by protonated or hydroxy mononuclear species. The mononuclear complexes of 1, when they existed, were more stable than the corresponding complexes of 2, except for cobalt which formed complexes of comparable stability with both ligands. In the other cases (Cd2+, Pb2+, Ag+), the stability differences between the complexes of 1 and 2 increased with the size of the cation.

    Notes: Water exchange on hexaaquavanadium (III) has been studied as a function of temperature (255 to 413 K) and pressure (up to 250 MPa, at several temperatures) by 17O-NMR spectroscopy at 8.13 and 27.11 MHz. The samples contained V3+ (0.30-1.53 m), H+ (0.19-2.25 m) and 17O-enriched (10-20%) H2O. The trifluoromethanesulfonate was used as counter-ion, and, contrary to the previously used chloride or bromide, CF3SO3- is shown to be non-coordinating. The following exchange parameters were obtained: kex298 = (5.0 ± 0.3) · 102 s-1, ΔH* = (49.4 ± 0.8) kJ mol-1, ΔS* = -(28 ± 2) JK-1 mol-1, ΔV* = -(8.9 ± 0.4) cm3 mol-1 and Δβ* = -(1.1 ± 0.3) · 10-2 cm3 mol-1 MPa-1. They are in accord with an associative interchange mechanism, Ia. These results for H2O exchange are discussed together with the available data for complex formation reactions on hexaaquavanadium(III). A semi-quantitative analysis of the bound H2O linewidth led to an estimation of the proportions of the different contributions to the relaxation mechanism in the coordinated site: the dipole-dipole interaction hardly contributes to the relaxation (less than 7%); the quadrupolar relaxation, and the scalar coupling mechanism are nearly equally efficient at low temperature (∼ 273 K), but the latter becomes more important at higher temperature (75-85% contribution at 360 K).

    Notes: Spontaneous Opening of the Pyrimidine Ring of Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines after Intramolecular AcylationPhase-transfer alkylation of 4-methoxy-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2) with ethyl 3-bromopropionate leads regioselectively to the ester 3a. After displacement of its methylthio group and saponification of the ester function, the acid 3e is obtained which can be transferred to the functionalized deazahypoxanthine 3f by either treatment with dry HBr/glacial AcOH or by nucleophilic displacement of the 4-methoxide. Reaction of 3f with a H2O-soluble carbodiimide results in an intramolecular acylation at N(1) by the activated ester; the intermediate 4 undergoes spontaneous hydroxylation and subsequent opening of the pyrimidine ring under formation of the pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivative 6. Its structure was proved by X-ray analysis. Subsequent deformylation of 6 in alkaline medium leads to the compound 7 in almost quantitative yield.

    Notes: The transverse relaxation rate of H2O in Al(H2O)63+ has been measured as a function of temperature (255 to 417 K) and pressure (up to 220 MPa) using the 17O-NMR line-broadening technique, in the presence of Mn(II) as a relaxation agent. At high temperatures the relaxation rate is governed by chemical exchange with bulk H2O, whereas at low temperatures quadrupolar relaxation is prevailing. Low-temperature fast-injection 17O-NMR was used to extend the accessible kinetic domain. The samples studied contained Al3+ (0.5 m), Mn2+ (0.2-0.5 m), H+ (0.2-3.1 m) and 17O-enriched (20-40%) H2O. Non-coordinating perchlorate was used as counter ion. The following H2O exchange parameters were obtained: kex298 = (1.29 ± 0.04) s-1, ΔH* = (84.7 ± 0.3) kJ mol-1, ΔS* = +(41.6 ± 0.9) J K-1 mol-1, and ΔVex* = +(5.7 ± 0.2) cm3 mol-1, indicating a dissociative interchange, Id, mechanism. These results of H2O exchange on Al(H2O)63+ are discussed together with the available complex-formation rate data and permit also the assignment of Id mechanisms to these latter reactions.

Solid-state X-ray diffraction of O-acetylated colchinoids and thio analogs, showed out of planar arrangements of the aromatic substituents, but the analysis could not help to explain the structures of the newly formed isomers in CHCl3 solution.

    Notes: Phase-transfer glycosylation of 4-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine with the 2-deoxyribofuranosyl chloride 9 formed the N(1)-β-nucleoside 10a as main product (39%). As by-products the α-D-anomer 11a (7%) and the N(2)-isomer 12a (18%) were isolated. Assignment of these isomers was made on the basis of their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. Removal of the sugar-protecting groups yielded the 4-methoxy-nucleosides 10b, 11b, and 12b, respectively. Nucleophilic displacement of the 4-MeO-group gave the 2-deoxyribofuranosides 1-4 of allopurinol and 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine.

    Notes: Liquid crystals with negative Δ∊ can be obtained by incorporating a cyano group in the terminal alkyl substituent or in an ethylene bridge between the cyclic units of the rigid core. The clearing points of such compounds are higher than those of the corresponding derivatives where the cyano group is laterally attached to a phenyl moiety. In compounds where both cyclic units of the rigid core are cyclohexyl, this type of substitution leads to an optimal contribution to ∊⊥ in contrast to the cyanophenyl derivatives.

    Notes: The glycopentapeptide H-(GlcNAcβ1-)Asn-Glu-Thr-Ile-Val-OH (10) representing the partial sequence A80-A84 of human fibroblast interferon was synthesized using the newly developed allyl-ester protection of carboxy functions. The allyl esters, which are stable to acids and to bases, can be cleaved under very mild, neutral conditions using tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride or tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) as a catalyst. This synthetic method opens up a preparative route to glycopeptide model structures of glycoproteins of high biological interest.

    Notes: The rate constants (log k) for the solvolysis of 4e-substituted 2e- and 2a-adamantyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonates 14 and 15, respectively, in 80% EtOH correlate linearly with the respective inductive substituent constants σIq. Therefore, relative rates are controlled by the I effect of the substituents at C(4). The derived reaction constants, or inductivities, ρI of -0.80 and -0.64 for the series 14 and 15, respectively, are far smaller than those previously determined for 6-substituted 2-norbornyl and 2-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl sulfonates, in which the partial structure containing the substituent and the leaving group is the same. The ratio of the retained and inverted adamantanols obtained upon hydrolysis of the series 14 falls from 2.85 for R = CH3 to ca. 1 for R = CN, i.e. as the substituent at C(4) becomes more electron-attracting. In the 2a-series 15 this ratio is uniformly higher. These findings confirm that the 2-adamantyl cation is weakly bridged and that through-space induction in carbocations involves graded bridging of the cationic center by neighboring C-atoms.

    Notes: The all-light-atom X-ray crystal-structure analysis of cyclosporin A (1), a cyclic undecapeptide containing seven N-methylated amino acids, reveals a conformation very similar to that of the previously analysed iodo derivative which is characterised by a twisted β-pleated sheet involving the residues Me-Val-11, MeBmt-1, Abu-2, Sar-3, MeLeu-4, Val-5, MeLeu-6, and Ala-7. The β-bend at Sar-MeLeu-4 is of type II′, and the loop of the residual amino acids involves a cis-peptide bond between MeLeu-9 and MeLeu-10. The NH proton of D-Ala-8 closes a yi-bend with a H-bond to the MeLeu-6 CO group. The crystal was grown from acetone. A closely similar backbone conformation in apolar solvents such as CDCl3 or C6D6 has been derived from the interpretation of the NMR spectral parameters (homo- and heteronuclear NOE effects, coupling constants, chemical-shift values of the C-, H-, and N-atoms). A minor variation in the backbone conformation between crystal and solution is observed in the region of D-Ala-8, where in solution a 3-center H-bond is established between the NH of D-Ala-8 und the carbonyl O-atoms of both MeLeu-6 (yi-turn) and D-Ala-8 (C5-bend). A recently proposed technique to identify intramolecular H-bond via heteronuclear NOE from NH proton to carbonyl C-atoms is critically analysed. The main difference between crystal and solution conformations lies in the orientation of the side chains of the unusual amino acid MeBmt (χ1 = +60° in solution, -168° in the crystal) and of MeLeu-10 (X1 = -60° in solution, +60° in the crystal). The differences in crystal and solution are caused by the break of the intermolecular H-bond of the OH group of MeBmt on dissolution of the crystal. The bifurcated H-bond of D-Ala-8 twists the backbone in this region. Molecular modeling demonstrates that this is the origin of the change in the side chain conformation of MeLeu-10. The intramolecular flexibility in the crystal indicated by the thermal parameters obtained from the X-ray refinement, and in solution by an analysis of spin-lattice relaxation times in the NMR experiments, indicate a fairly rigid backbone and fixed conformations for all the side chains except for that of Abu-2 and the distal atoms of MeBmt.

    Notes: Photochemical and Chemical Syntheses of Biologically Active 3-OxazolinesUsing the photoreaction of 2H-azirines with carbonyl compounds, the 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolines 5a, 5b, and 6a have been obtained which bear a mono- or dichlorophenyl substituent at C(4) of the five-membered heterocycle and pyridyl at C(5). These compounds exhibit interesting activities against phytopathogenic fungi. Because 6a had been selected for field testing, its photochemical preparation was supplemented by a chemical synthesis. However, the overall performance of 6a in the field was inferior to some of the recently introduced agricultural fungicides of the ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor type. Although 16 additional 3-oxazolines with varied substituents have been prepared, the fungicidal activity found with 6a could not be improved.

    Notes: Synthesis and Reactions of 5-[p-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazolineThe title compound 8 has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of 4′-(dimethylamino)benzoin (4) with 2-propanone and NH3. The preparation of the intermediate 4 from 3 is the first example of an acid-catalyzed transformation of the stable benzoin 3 into the corresponding less stable benzoin 4. Structures and yields of various by-products occurring under different reaction conditions during the synthesis of 8 from 4 are given. The O-atom of the 3-oxazoline ring in 8 could be replaced by S from P2S5 yielding the 3-thiazoline 14. Separation of the enantiomers of the racemate 8 could only be performed by transforming them into the trimethylanilinium salts 8b and 8c of (-)- and (+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid, respectively. Solid NaOAc in boiling toluene caused the precipitation of the 10-camphorsulfonic acids from the quaternary ammonium salts as sodium salts and the removing of the third methyl group from the quaternary ammonium salts as AcOMe to give the enantiomers (-)-(5S)-8 and (+)-(5R)-8. Their absolute configurations are deduced from an X-ray analysis of 8b.

    Notes: Synthesis of Substituted CyclononatetraenesIn the course of an exploration of possible synthetic pathways to nonafulvenes, a series of 1-substituted cyclononatetraenes (CNT) 4b-1 have been prepared in yields of about 60%. Their structures follow from spectroscopic data as well as from the quantitative valence isomerisation to 1-endo-substituted cis-3a, 7a-dihydroindenes 8. Both all-cis-CNT- 1 and cis,cis,cis,trans-CNT- 2 have been used as nucleophiles. Whereas 2 is normally more nucleophilic than 1, the yield of cyclononatetraenes 4 prepared with 2 may be reduced due to by-products such as 9 and 10.

    Notes: The 1H-, 13C-, and 15N-NMR spectra of the immunosuppressive cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (1) have been analyzed at 300 MHz in CDCl3, C6D6, and mixtures of these solvents. A combination of different homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR techniques enable complete assignment of all H-, C- and 4 N-signals. Recognition of the proton spin systems has been achieved via 1H,1H-COSY and double-quantum-1H-NMR spectroscopy. NOESY spectra yield some sequence assignments, but two techniques using coupling across amide bonds have been applied to get independent assignments of all amino acids in the sequence: (i) An 1H,1H-COSY spectrum optimized for small coupling constants enables the detection of long-range couplings from N-methyl groups to both α-protons attached to that amide bond. (ii) An 1H, 13C-COSY spectrum optimized for C,H-long-range couplings (J = 5 to 10 Hz) to the eleven CO groups again yields coupling to both α-protons attached to that amide bond. Additionally these two experiments yield the assignment of N-methyl protons and carbonyl C-atoms. Normal and relayed 1H,13C-COSY in both solvents have been applied to assign all C-atoms via their directly attached and remote protons. An 1H,13C-COLOC spectrum at 500 MHz in CDCl3, which uses H,C-long-range couplings confirms the assignment of all proton spin systems as well as the C-signals of each individual amino acid. Ambiguities in the assignment of the C(δ)'s of MeLeu have thus been removed. An 1H,15N-COSY spectrum enables the assignment of the 4 NH N-atoms.

    Notes: The synthesis and photolyses of the epoxydiene (E)-5 are described. On triplet excitation (λ 〉 280 nm, acetone), (E)-5 undergoes initial cleavage of the C(5)—O bond leading to the intermediate c. Presumably an H-shift (c → e) followed by the fragmentation of the 1,4-diradical e leads (via the enol 37) to the diketones (E)-6 and (Z)-12. Alternatively cleavage of the C(6)—C(7) bond of c furnishes the diradical intermediate d which reacts by recombination leading to (E)-13A + B, 16, and 17A + B, or by an H-shift to the enol intermediate 38. The latter undergoes an aldol-type reaction to (E/Z)-14A + B and (E/Z)-15A + B, as well as a photochemical [2 + 2]-cycloaddition to 18. On singlet excitation (λ = 254 nm, MeCN), (E)-5 undergoes photocleavage to the carbene intermediates f and g. The vinyl carbene f reacts with the adjacent double bond furnishing the cyclopropene 22 as the main product. From the carbene intermediate g, compounds 23, 24, and 25 arise by carbene insertion into the neighboring C—C or C—H bond. Furthermore, the diastereomer of the starting material, the epoxydiene (E)-20, is formed via the ylide intermediate h.

    Notes: The molecular structure of pyroergotamine has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to be the pyruvoyldiketopiperazine 1. The diketopiperazine ring exists in a folded or boat conformation, with a dihedral angle of 40° between the two almost planar peptide units. The R-group of the phenylalanine residue occupies a quasi-axial position of the diketopiperazine ring, while that of the proline residue is in a quasi-equatorial position. Puzzling spectroscopic and chemical properties of the compound can be rationalised in terms of crowding within the molecule.

    Notes: Electronic properties of dopamine were studied by the ab initio STO-3G MO method. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) around the aromatic ring and the catechol group remains practically the same in 3,4-dihydroxytoluene (a model compound) and in neutral dopamine examined in its two extended conformations, namely that found in the crystal (side-chain and aromatic ring almost perpendicular) and the one corresponding to 2-amino-6,7-dihydroxytetralin (6,7-ADTN) (side-chain and aromatic ring almost coplanar). In protonated dopamine and in dopamine hydrochloride, the electrostatic potential of the catechol moiety is overshadowed by the positive charge, but the main features remain discernible. The catechol moiety was examined in its two coplanar conformations containing a ‘flip-flop H-bond’. The electrostatic potential around the catechol moiety is quite complex, with alternating positive and negative maxima. At increasing distances above and away from the catechol moiety, only two peripheral maxima, one negative and one positive, remain perceptible. The ‘flip-flop’ mechanism results in an approximate interchange of these two potential maxima, a fact which tends to level out the structural differences between the α- and β-rotamer of dopamine. Based on these results and on the structure of rigid agonists, some pharmacophoric features of dopamine agonists are proposed.

    Notes: In presence of a strong base, the 13-membered cyclic compound 3 yielded, by loss of acetonitrile or its equivalent, the bicyclic product 5 instead of the 17-membered compound 4 as expected (Scheme 2). Investigation of model compounds (Scheme 4) and of model reactions (Schemes 5 and 6) led to the conclusion that the reaction proceeds via an intermediate formaldehyde imine; a Schiff base, e.g. 3b (Scheme 5), which reacts intra- and intermolecularly with a nucleophile to form a Mannich-type product. It seems to be a general principle that N-substituted 3-aminopropanenitrile and 2-aminoacetonitrile derivatives behave in the presence of a strong base as Schiff -base equivalents (Schemes 5 and 6).

    Notes: The biradical 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-perinaphthadiyl (a) was generated from two different precursors, the naphthocyclopropane 1 and the azo compound 2, and from each by three different pathways (pyrolysis, direct photolysis, and triplet sensitization, Scheme 1). The combined evidence from flash photolysis, low-temperature spectroscopy, and product analyses provides a detailed mechanistic picture of the formation and decay of this reactive intermediate which is persistent at 77 K in the triplet ground state (3a) and rather long-lived (400 μs) at room temperature. When formed in its lowest singlet state (1a), the biradical is too short-lived to undergo intersystem crossing to 3a or bimolecular reactions. Thus, 3a is formed exclusively from the excited triplet state of the precursor compounds, 31* or 33*. The monomolecular decay of 3a is retarded by the spin barrier; 3a initiates the polymerization of acrylonitrile and is trapped by 3O2.

    Notes: An overall enantioselective substitution of the R-group of an α-hydroxy- or α-amino acid 1 [R—CH(XH)COOH] by another R-group is possible through heterocycles 2 obtained from 1 with pivaladehyde (1 → 7). The rac- and the (S)-(+)-heterocycles 8 (title compounds of type 5) are prepared from glycine and O-benzyl-(S)-serine, respectively. Their enolates (cf. 9, type 6) are alkylated with iodomethane, iodobutane, 2-iodopropane, benzyl bromide, and acetone to give the trans-disubstituted imidazolidinones 10 with ≥ 95% diastereoselectivity. The configuration of the products is established by chemical correlation with alanine, phenylalanine, and valine.

    Notes: Reactivity of Carbonyl Compounds with Ketenes in the Presence of Titanium or Zirconium AlkoxidesThe reaction of ketene or dimethylketene with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of titanium or zirconium alkoxides gives essentially β-hydroxyesters. By polyinsertion of ketene and aldehydes in the Ti—O bond, di- tri- and tetraesters are formed. An excess of ketene produces acetyl derivatives of esters and 6-alkyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2,4-pyrandiones.

    Notes: Selective Preparation of l- or u-Aldols from Ethyl Trityl Ketone and Aromatic Aldehydes through Lithium and Aluminium Enolates, RespectivelyThe ethyl trityl ketone (1) is deprotonated to the (Z)-enolate 2 which adds to aromatic aldehydes with relative topicity ul to give the aldols 3(-78°, THF, kinetic control). If, on the other hand, 1 is heated with trimethylaluminium in toluene, the aluminium enolate formed combines with aromatic aldehydes and with cinnamic aldehyde with opposite relative topicity (lk) to the aldols 5 (+20°, toluene, 2 d, precipitation of the aluminium aldolate 4, thermodynamic control). The mechanism is discussed (cf. Fig. 1). The adducts to benzaldehyde (3a, 5a), furfural (3f, 5f), and cinnamaldehyde (3i, 5i) are O-(2-methoxyethoxy)methyl (MEM) protected and cleaved by lithium triethylborohydride to the 1,3-diol derivatives 9-11 with a free primary and a protected secondary OH-group. Analogous conversions of 1 and other ketones may also be diastereoselective, but turned out to be of less preparative value (see 6-8, 12).

    Notes: Treatment of the chloro-nitro-ribofuranose 7 with KPO(OMe)2 gave the O-amino phosphate 8 (5 %) and the nitrile 9 (62 %). Compound 9 was also obtained by the reaction of 8 with KPO(OMe)2, and its structure was established by X-ray analysis. Treatment of the chloro-nitro-mannofuranose 10, the bromo-nitro-ribofuranose 14, or the bromo-nitro-mannofuranose 16, respectively, with the K or Na salt of HPO(OMe)2 lead also to O-amino phosphates and nitriles. The (1-C-nitroglycosyl)phosphonate 22 was obtained (21 %) together with the nitrile 21 (51 %) from the chloro-nitro-mannofuranose 10 and KPO(OEt)2. The reaction of the 1-C-nitroglycosyl sulfone 25 (NO2-group endo) with KPO(OEt)2 gave the (1-C-nitroglycosyl)phosphonate 22 (61%) and the nitrile 21 (11 %), whilst the anomeric sulfone 26 (NO2-group exo) gave 22 (15 %) and 21 (58 %). In the presence of [18] crown-6, a mixture of the anomers 25 and 26 gave the (1-C-nitroglycosyl)phosphonate 22 in 67 % yield together with 21 (13 %). These findings are rationalized as the result of a competition between a nucleophilic attack of the dialkyl-phosphite anions on the NO2-group leading ultimately to the nitrile 21 and a single-electron transfer reaction leading to the (1-C-nitroglycosyl)phosphonate 22.

The conformations of most of the medium-ring compounds are very similar to equal-sized ring compounds previously determine by other authors.

    Notes: The 2,5-dimethylidene-3,6-bis[(Z)-(2-nitrophenyl)sulfenylmethylidene]-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (13) can be used to generate polyfunctional and multicyclic molecules with high regio- and stereoselectivity via two successive Diels-Alder additions using two different dienophiles. This principle has been applied to the synthesis of (±)-11-deoxydaunomycinone (7), the aglycone of an important antitumor drug. The 2,3-didehydroanisole adds to 13 and gives the monoadduct 14 with high regioselectivity. No trace of bis-adduct is observed. The 1,4-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-methoxy-3-methylidene-2-[(Z)-(2-nitrophenyl)sulfenylmethylidene]anthracene (15) obtained on treating 14 with K2CO3 adds to methyl vinyl ketone to give [(1RS, 2SR, 5RS,12RS)-5,12-epoxy-1,2,3,4,5,12-hexahydro-7-methoxy-1-(2-nitrophenyl)sulfenyl-2-naphthacenyl]methyl ketone (16) with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The acid-catalyzed 7-oxanorbornadiene→phenol rearrangement of 16 is regioselective and gives (5-acetoxy-3,4-dihydro-7-methoxy-2-naphthacenyl) methyl ketone (20) which was transformed into (±)-7,11-dideoxydaunomycinone ((±)-24), a known precursor of 7.

    Notes: The methylene-blue sensitized photooxygenation of heptamethyl Coα,Coβ-dicyanocobyrinate (1, cobester) at ca. -45° and in (D3)acetonitrile solution proceeds readily to the stage of selective double cleavage of the corrin macrocycle. It furnishes the bisected heptamethyl Coα,Coβ-dicyano-5,6:14,15-tetraoxo-5,6:14,15-disecocobyrinate (3) in 91% yield after warming the photooxygenation mixture to room temperature. Complex 3 is also obtained by photooxygenation of the secocorrinoid oxygenation products of 1, namely of heptamethyl Coα,Coβ-dicyano-5,6-dioxo-5,6-secocobyrinate (2a) and of its isomer heptamethyl Coα,Coβ-dicyano-14,15-dioxo-14,15-secocobyrinate (2b). When the raw photooxygenation product of 1 is kept at low temperature, 3 is not formed in a significant amount; spectral analysis reveals 4 as intermediate that is transformed into 3 quantitatively upon warm-up and storage at r.t. Compound 4 is assigned the structure of heptamethyl Coα,Coβ-dicyano-5,6-epidioxy-5,6-dihydro-14,15-dioxo-14,15-secocobyrinate, based on NMR-spectral data and since 4 is also formed cleanly in the corresponding low-temperature photooxygenation of 2b. Catalytic reduction of the Co(III) complex 3 (H2, Pt/C) in the presence of EDTA produces a colourless oil, from which the bicyclic fragments 5 (corresponding to rings A and D of 1) and 6 (corresponding to rings B and C of 1) are obtained in 99 and 91% yield, respectively, after chromatographic separation.

    Notes: Thermolysis of 5,6-epimino-5,6-dihydro-β-ionone (1) and its N-methyl derivative (2) leads to their monocyclic isomers 6 and 10, respectively, presumably due to a direct [1,5]-H shift; on prolonged heating, these isomers are converted easily into pyrrole derivatives. In contrast, the thermoisomer 12 resulting from 5,6-(N-methoxycarbonyl)epimino-5,6-dihydro-β-ionone (3) by the same mechanism, does not undergo further ring transformation, but equilibrates with its more stable tautomer 13.

    Notes: Using H-atoms produced in the radiolysis of water vapour, we determined the kinetic isotope effect for the reaction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm H}^{\rm .} + {\rm RH (R'D)}{\rm H}_{\rm 2} {\rm (HD) + R}^{\rm .} {\rm (R'}^{\rm .}) $$\end{document} where RH and R′D are methylcyclohexane and perdeuterated methylcyclohexane, respectively. The result obtained from the isotope competitive method can be expressed with the Arrhenius-type equation kH/kD = (0.51 ± 0.04) exp[(8.58 ± 0.25) kJ mol-1/RT] over the temperature range from 363 to 483 K. The occurrence of H abstraction from primary, secondary, and tertiary C—H bonds in methylcyclohexane is taken into consideration in the interpretation of the Arrhenius-type expression obtained. Theoretical interpretation of the kinetic isotope effect has been achieved on the basis of the transition-state theory and a semiempirical London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato potential-energy surface. The tunnel effect is found to play a role in the H-abstraction. Several methods for estimating the tunnel correction factors have been discussed.
