    Notes: Abstract Purpose: Best chances of a cure from colorectal cancer are obtained before metastatic spread. Lack of specific tests allowing early diagnosis of the tumor accounts for investigation of gene alterations involved in carcinogenesis by a noninvasive method. In the present study, K-ras codons 12 and 13 mutations were studied in neoplastic cells shed from the bowel into the stool and those contained in the tumor and normal mucosa. Moreover, healthy patients and a few others with precancerous conditions were examined. METHODS: Stool, tumor, and mucosa samples were taken from 25 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Stool and mucosa samples were obtained from 11 healthy patients, and stool, pathologic bowel tissue, and normal mucosa samples were obtained from 3 patients with adenoma (1) or ulcerative colitis (2). Polymerase chain reaction amplification and restriction enzyme analysis were performed. RESULTS: K-ras codon 12 mutations were detected in both tumor and stool samples of 10 cancer patients, and no gene alterations were observed in 14 patients. In one patient with a tumor, a mutation was shown in only the tumor tissue. The agreement rate in tumor and stool analysis was 96 percent. A normal pattern of K-ras codons 12 and 13 was observed in the bowel mucosa. All stool and mucosa samples from healthy patients were not altered in K-ras.Agreement was registered between samples taken from patients with preneoplastic lesions. CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings show a high rate of accuracy in the investigation of K-ras alterations in the colorectal cells shed into the feces, suggesting that such an approach could be used to study other gene alterations and, prospectively, to identify early colorectal cancers.

    Notes: Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterised by the production of a large number of autoantibodies. It has been postulated that this may be the result of prolonged longevity of auto-reactive B cells due to defective regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis). The proto-oncogenebcl-2 is involved in the control of apoptosis in immunocompetent cells, and its over-expression is noted in T and B cells from SLE patients. This study examined the genetic linkage between thebcl-2 gene locus and SLE susceptibility using the affected sib-pair method in SLE families. Seventeen caucasian multiplex families were evaluated. A polymorphic microsatellite marker closely linked to thebcl-2 gene on 18g21.3 was used to determine thebcl-2 genotype. We demonstrated that haplotype sharing among the affected sibling pairs was not statistically different from random (P〉0.5). This suggests that thebcl-2 gene locus does not confer a genetic susceptibility to SLE expression.

    Notes: Abstract It seems that the genetic basis of common psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis is amenable to the genetic mapping strategies that have been successful in other complex disorders such as diabetes. The next challenge is the genetic dissection of quantitative behavioural traits such as mood, personality and intelligence. Quantitative traits pose new problems for gene cloning experiments. We argue that one way forward is by using animal models. One of the features of quantitative traits is that the DNA sequence variants which are responsible for them are unlikely to be immediately recognizable. In contrast to many qualitative traits where a discrete phenotypic difference is often the consequence of an inactivating mutation, the allelic variation responsible for quantitative traits probably has a more subtle basis. This distinction means that strategies to clone the genetic basis of quantitative behavioural traits will have to rely on functional assays of alleles thought to be important in determining the phenotype. We suggest that an efficient strategy for detecting sequences that give rise to quantitative behavioural traits can be devised in the mouse. The importance and utility of the mouse for quantitative trait analysis make it worthwhile to investigate mouse models of human behaviour; these advantages outweigh the difficulties that arise in attempts to validate the animal models. As an example we review the evidence that validates rodent emotionality as an animal model for susceptibility to human anxiety. We show that there is good evidence that rodent emotionality is a central nervous system state with a genetic basis, and that there are neuropharmacological and neuroanatomical parallels with human anxiety. Furthermore, our own work has shown that the genetic basis of the trait is relatively simple, and that the task of characterizing it at a molecular level is feasible. We expect that future experiments will show us how genetic variation gives rise to quantitative behavioural traits.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Several historical reports focusing on the heredity of migraine, as well as recent studies on its epidemiology and molecular biology, have revealed evidence for a decisive role of genetic factors in the aetiopathogenesis of familial migraine. Indeed, family studies, segregation analyses and twin studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in disposition towards migraine but could not explain the entire aetiopathogenesis. The influence of extragenetic factors, however, remains mostly unknown. Recent linkage analyses have provided evidence for genetic heterogeneity. A locus for Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM), the only known type of migraine that follows autosomal-dominant transmission, has been linked to chromosome 19p13 but genetic heterogeneity has also been shown, i. e. different types of migraine could be excluded from this locus. Further investigations should concentrate on identifying the FHM gene on chromosome 19p13, on linkage analyses with markers for different susceptibility genes, and on genomic analyses of highly informative pedigrees. This would lead to further clues to the pathogenesis underlying migraine and, thus, to therapeutic developments.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nachdem bereits in historischen Beschreibungen eine genetische Verursachung der Migräne vermutet worden war, haben epidemiologische und molekularbiologische Forschungen in den letzten Jahren differenzierte Ergebnisse über genetische Faktoren in der Ätiopathogenese der familiären Migräne geliefert. Aufgrund von Familien- und Segregationsanalysen und von Zwillingsstudien wird dargestellt, daß genetische Faktoren mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit eine Rolle in der Pathogenese der typischen Migräne spielen. Inwieweit extragenetische Faktoren auf die Ätiopathogenese der Migräne Einfluß nehmen, ist weitgehend offen. Linkageanalysen haben in jüngster Zeit gezeigt, daß möglicherweise mehrere verschiedene Gene für diese Erkrankung verantwortlich sind. Für die Familiäre Hemiplegische Migräne (FHM), der einzigen Migräneform, für die ein autosomal-dominanter Erbgang nachgewiesen ist, konnte ein Genlocus auf Chromosom 19p13 gefunden werden, gleichzeitig wurde aber auch genetische Heterogenität nachgewiesen. Verschiedene andere Formen der Migräne zeigten keine Linkage zu diesem Locus. Weitere Forschungen sollten neben der Identifizierung des FHM-Gens auch Linkageanalysen für Kandidatengene und Genomanalysen an großen informativen Familien zum Ziel haben. Letztlich werden die Ergebnisse genaueren Einblick in die Pathophysiologie der Migräne liefern und damit therapeutisch relevant sein.

    Notes: Abstract To estimate genetic effects on femoral neck geometry and the distribution of bone mineral within the proximal femur a cross-sectional twin analysis was carried out at a university hospital that compared correlations in these traits in pairs of mono- and dizygo-tic female twins. Monozygotic (MZ, n=51 pairs, age 49.1±9.3 years) and dizygotic (DZ, n=26 pairs, age 45.7±11.3 years) twins were randomly selected from a larger sample of twins previously studied. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), femoral neck angles and length, cross-sectional area and moment of interia, the center of mass of the narrowest cross-section of the femoral neck, and BMDs of regions within the femoral neck were made. A summary index of the resistance of the femoral neck to forces experienced in a fall with impact on the greater trochanter (Fall Index, FI) was calculated. MZ pair intraclass correlations (rMZ) were significantly (p〈0.05) different from zero for all bone mass and femoral geometry variables (0.35〈rMZ〈0.82). DZ pair correlations (rDZ) were lower thanrMZ for all variables (0.04〈rDZ〈0.52) except femoral neck length (rDZ=0.38, rMZ=0.36). After adjustment for BMD of the femoral neck,rMZ was significantly greater thanrDZ, yielding high heritability estimates for regional BMDs (0.72〈H 2〈0.78), the center of mass of the femoral neck (H 2=0.70, −0.04 to 1.43 95% CI) and the resistance of the femoral neck to forces experienced in a fall (FI,H 2=0.94, 0.06 to 1.85 95% CI), but not for femoral neck length. Adjustments for age did not alter these findings. It is concluded that there are significant familial influences on the distribution of femoral bone mass and on the calculated structural strength of the proximal femur, but not on femoral neck length. If the assumptions of the twin model are correct, this is evidence for genetic factors influencing these traits.

    Notes: Abstract In order to assess the etiology of reading disability as a function of mathematics performance, data from 168 monozygotic (MZ) and 127 same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs in which at least one member of each pair was reading-disabled were subjected to quantitative genetic analyses. MZ and DZ concordance rates for reading disability were computed for different levels of mathematics performance, and reading performance data were fitted to an extension of the basic multiple regression model for the analysis of selected twin data. Results of these analyses suggest that genetic factors may be especially salient as a cause of reading disability in children with borderline deficits in mathematics performance: thus, mathematics performance may be a valid dimension for diagnosing subtypes of reading disability.

    Notes: Summary Diabetes mellitus is a common disease with many forms of clinical expression. In addition, the development of diabetic complications is not only dependent on glycaemic control but also on individual factors which may be related to genetic heterogeneity. At present, multiple genetic factors are being recognized as contributing to the development of diabetes or possibly modulating its clinical expression. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of our current knowledge on a subtype of diabetes which is apparently caused by a single mutation in the mitochondrial DNA.

    Notes: Abstract In 1991–1993, we investigated the incidence of seed dormancy in 25 local populations of barnyard grass, Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv., in the western Czech Republic. The percentage of germination after 4 months afterripening of dry seeds at 25°C varied between 0.0 and 83.6%. Although there were significant annual differences in the percentage of germination at some localities, typical proportions of dormant seeds persisted over 3 years at field sites where the seed bank was not disturbed. One-way ANOVA (using data from 14 cultivated or abandoned fields) revealed that 73.0% of variance in seed dormancy incidence could be attributed to the effect of locality (P〈0.001). Incidence of dormancy was not correlated with mother plant stature (dry above-ground biomass, number of tillers, maximal stem height) nor seed mass. There was a significant correlation (r 2=0.403, P〈0.005) between dormancy incidence at natural localities in 1991 and in F1 offspring sown at experimental grounds at Praha-Ruzyně in 1992. The results indicate that heredity is important in maintaining local variation in seed dormancy, probably favoured by the self-pollinating reproduction of barnyard grass.

    Notes: Abstract Amplification of an unstable CTG trinucleotide repeat sequence in a protein kinase gene on chromosome 19 has recently been recognised as the molecular basis of myotonic dystrophy (DM), a multisystem disorder with a wide spectrum of muscular and extramuscular manifestations. The CTG expansion of 40 patients was assessed by direct genotype analysis of the white blood cell DNA and correlated with MRI of the brain and muscles, and with functional clinical data. Cerebral pathology on MRI consisted of diffuse atrophy (68 %), subcortical white matter lesions (65 %), wide Virchow-Robin spaces (38 %) and thickening of the skull (35 %). Cerebral atrophy and extent of white matter disease correlated significantly with mental retardation, duration of disease and CTG fragment amplification. MRI of the muscular system showed fatty degeneration of different degrees in neighbouring muscles causing a mosaic pattern of the thigh in 38 % and the calf in 44 %. Muscular changes on MRI were strongly correlated with muscular impairment but less strongly with CTG expansion. Changes on MRI reflect the stage of development of tissue pathology in DM, modified by defect of the DM gene. Pathology on MRI is strongly correlated with functional deficits.

    Notes: Abstract Over a period of 3 years, 192 children with familial Mediterranean fever were prospectively studied. Of these, 106 (55%) were girls and 86 (45%) were boys. The prevalence was 1 : 2600 children with a gene frequency of 1 : 50. The age at onset ranged between 4 months and 16 years. Of these patients 24% started their illness below the age of 2 years and 88% were symptomatic before the age of 10 years; 82% had recurrent abdominal pain, 43% had pleurisy, 37% had arthritis, 15% had cutaneous manifestations, 12% had splenomegaly and 4% had hepatomegaly. The presenting symptoms were abdominal pain in 51%, unilateral chest pain in 23% and arthritis in 26%. The family history was positive in 62%. Of 12 affected families 19 members had/have renal failure and amyloidosis was confirmed in 7 patients. Conclusion Our data show a high prevalence of familial Mediterranean fever and a high gene frequency in Arab children similar to that reported in Jews and Armenians.

    Notes: Abstract Inbred mouse strains differ in sensitivity to a first dose of nicotine and in the development of tolerance to nicotine. The experiments reported here used six inbred mouse strains (A, BUB, C3H, C57BL/6, DBA/2, ST/b) that differ in sensitivity to an acute challenge dose of nicotine to determine whether differences in oral self-selection of nicotine exist. Animals were presented with solutions containing nicotine or vehicle (water or 0.2% saccharin) and their daily intake of the two fluids was measured for 4 days starting with a 10 µg/ml nicotine solution. This was followed by sequential 4-day testing with 20, 35, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 160, and 200 µg/ml nicotine solutions. The strains differed dramatically in their self-selection of nicotine and in maximal daily dose (mg/kg); the rank order of the strains was C57BL/6〉DBA〉BUB〉A≥C3H≥ST/b for both the tap water and 0.2% saccharin choice experiments. Correlations between nicotine consumption and sensitivity to nicotine, as measured by a battery of behavioral and physiological responses, were also calculated. Strain differences in nicotine intake were highly correlated with senstivity to nicotine-induced seizures. As senstivity to nicotine-in-duced seizures increases, oral self-selection of nicotine decreases. This finding may suggest that this toxic action of nicotine serves to limit intake.

    Notes: Abstract There is increasing evidence that the genetic predisposition for schizophrenia in families affects more individuals than those fulfilling the criteria for schizophrenia. This finding is supposed to be one of the major problems in molecular genetic schizophrenia research, especially when linkage studies are employed. Eye-tracking dysfunction (ETD), which is conceived as a possible phenotypic marker for genetic liability to schizophrenia, may offer considerable advantages. However, there is only little information from families with multiple occurrence of schizophrenia. It is still unclear whether in these families ETD aggregates with diagnoses from the schizophrenia spectrum. This first report from an ongoing study presents the results of 48 individuals from 6 multiplex families. Smooth-pursuit eye movements were recorded by infrared reflectometry and assessed by quantitative measurement techniques. Along with the high degree of psychiatric morbidity in these families, in 56.3% of the individuals ETD was assessed. Reduced mean pursuit gain was present in 39.6%. The distribution of eye-tracking dysfunction resembles the distribution of schizophrenia-related psychiatry morbidity.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic control of adult-plant blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) resistance in a Brassica napus line (579NO48-109-DG-1589), designated “R13” possessing Brassica juncea-like resistance (JR), was elucidated by the analysis of segregation ratios in F2 and F3 populations from a cross between “R13” and the highly blackleg-susceptible B. napus cultivar “Tower”. The F2 segregration ratios were bimodal, demonstrating that blackleg resistance in “R13” was controlled by major genes. Analysis of the segregation ratios for 13 F3 families indicated that blackleg resistance in these families was controlled by three nuclear genes, which exhibited a complex interaction. Randomly sampled plants of F3 progeny all had the normal diploid somatic chromosome number for B. napus. The similarities between the action of the three genes found in this study with those controlling blackleg resistance in B. juncea is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain yield and yield components in F2∶3 and F6∶7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the same population. One hundred and eighty-six F6∶7 RIs from a Mo17×H99 population were grown in a replicated field experiment and analyzed at 101 loci detected by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Single-factor analysis of variance was conducted for each locus-trait combination to identify QTL. For grain yield, 6 QTL were detected accounting for 22% of the phenotypic variation. A total of 63 QTL were identified for the seven grain yield components with alleles from both parents contributing to increased trait values. Several genetic regions were associated with more than one trait, indicating possible linked and/or pleiotropic effects. In a comparison with 150 F2∶3 lines from the same population, the same genetic regions and parental effects were detected across generations despite being evaluated under diverse environmental conditions. Some of the QTL detected in the F2∶3 seem to be dissected into multiple, linked QTL in the F6∶7 generation, indicating better genetic resolution for QTL detection with RIs. Also, genetic effects at QTL are smaller in the F6∶7 generation for all traits.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic control of adult-plant blackleg [Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et De Not.] resistance in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was studied in the F2 and first-backcross populations of the cross “Maluka” (blackleg-resistant) x “Niklas” (highly susceptible). A L. maculans isolate possessing high levels of host specificity (MB2) was used in all inoculations. Resistance/susceptibility was evaluated using three separate measures of crown-canker size, i.e. the percentage of crown girdled (%G), external lesion length (E) and internal lesion area (%II). Disease severity scores for the F2 and first-backcross populations based on E and %II gave discontinuous distributions, indicating major-gene control for these measures of resistance; but those for %G were continuous, indicating quantitative genetic control for this measure. Chi-square tests performed on the (poorly-defined) resistance classes, based on E, in the F2 and first-backcross populations indicated the likelihood for resistance being governed by a single, incompletely dominant major gene. Although the distributions of the F2 and first-backcross populations, based on%II, were clearly discontinuous, the observed segregation ratios for resistance and susceptibility did not fit any of the numerous Mendelian ratios which were considered. Differences in inheritance of resistance according to the assessment method and blackleg isolate used, were discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic basis of virulence of 24 isolates of L. maculans collected from various sites throughout south-eastern and south-western Australia were studied using five clone-lines of B. napus. The experimental design allowed the estimation of the environmental and genetic components of variance using a standard analysis of variance. Virulence of these isolates (as measured by the percentage of stem girdling, %G) on the clonelines NCII and Tap was found to be most likely controlled by a small number of genes; the broad-sense heritabilities were 79.7% and 67.5% for virulence on NCII and Tap, respectively. The significance of these results in relation to the potential of L. maculans in adapting to new resistant B. napus cultivars is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The soybean is a major crop in the agricultural systems of the Brazilian Cerrados (Savannahs), whose soils are acidic, devoid of nutrients and need to be amended before they are cultivated. However, below the ploughed layer there is a scarcity of nutrients and toxic aluminium (Al). These limit root growth, subsequently causing nutritional imbalance and drought stress. Our aim in the investigation described here was to identify genetic differences in the aluminium tolerance of soybeans by a 9 × 9 diallel cross among contrasting varieties grown in high-Al areas and in hydroponics. Combining ability analysis indicated predominantly additive gene effects, and the additive-dominance model explained most of the genetic differences in this germ plasm for mineral element absorption and root growth under aluminium stress. The relationship between the two factors suggest that conjugation hydroponics and field evaluations in breeding programmes would further improve soybeans with respect to yield stability under tropical cultivation conditions.

    Notes: Abstract   This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain yield and yield components in F2:3 and F6:7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the same population. One hundred and eighty-six F6:7 RIs from a Mo17×H99 population were grown in a replicated field experiment and analyzed at 101 loci detected by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Single-factor analysis of variance was conducted for each locus-trait combination to identify QTL. For grain yield, 6 QTL were detected accounting for 22% of the phenotypic variation. A total of 63 QTL were identified for the seven grain yield components with alleles from both parents contributing to increased trait values. Several genetic regions were associated with more than one trait, indicating possible linked and/or pleiotropic effects. In a comparison with 150 F2:3 lines from the same population, the same genetic regions and parental effects were detected across generations despite being evaluated under diverse environmental conditions. Some of the QTL detected in the F2:3 seem to be dissected into multiple, linked QTL in the F6:7 generation, indicating better genetic resolution for QTL detection with RIs. Also, genetic effects at QTL are smaller in the F6:7 generation for all traits.

    Notes: Abstract A study was undertaken to investigate the variability among lowland rice cultivars and the mode of gene action of aluminum (Al) toxicity tolerance in rice. Pregerminated seeds were grown in a nutrient solution containing 30 ppm Al and in normal nutrient solution, and relative root length (RRL) was determined at the 14-day-old stage to characterize genotypes for tolerance. Sixty-two traditional rice cultivars grown on lowland acid sulfate soil areas of Asia and West Africa were tested. Tolerant varieties ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT104’, and ‘Moroberekan’, moderately sensitive ‘IR29’ and ‘IR43’, and sensitive ‘IR45’ and ‘IR1552’ were used to investigate the genetics of tolerance by diallel analysis. Of the 62 cultivars tested, only 3 were found to be sensitive to A l toxicity. Among the tolerant cultivars identified, 11 (‘Siyam Kuning’, ‘Gudabang Putih’, ‘Siyam’, ‘Lemo’, ‘Khao Daeng’, ‘Siyamhalus’, ‘Bjm-12’, ‘Ketan’, ‘Seribu Gantang’, ‘Bayer Raden Rati’, and ‘Padi Kanji’) were found to possess higher levels of tolerance than the improved tolerant upland cultivar ‘IRAT104’. Diallel analysis revealed that high RRL is governed by both additive and dominance effects with a preponderance of additive effects. The trait exhibited partial dominance, and one group of genes was detected. Heritability was high, and environmenal effects were low. Findings suggest that when breeding for A1 toxicity tolerance, selection can be made in early generations. The pedigree method of breeding would be suitable. Combining ability analysis revealed the importance of both general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in the genetics of A1 toxicity tolerance in rice. GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parens ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT104’, and ‘Moroberekan’ were the best general combiners. The presence of reciprocal effects among crosses suggested the proper choice of parents in hybridization programs. Results indicated that ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT 104’, and ‘Moroberekan’ should be used as the female in crosses for A1 toxicity tolerance.

    Notes: Abstract Extreme resistance in cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) to potato viruses Y and A (PVY and PVA) conditioned by the presence of Ry genes introduced from Solanum stoloniferum was described by Cockerham (1970). Cockerham detailed a number of genes which controlled a variety of reactions, including extreme resistance to both viruses (i.e. little or no visible reaction of plants and no viral replication following graft and manual inoculation) controlled by gene Ry sto. In the present study, cvs ‘Pirola’ and ‘Barbara’, which contain a Ry gene, were found to have extreme resistance to PVY isolates from the ordinary (PVY°), veinal necrosis (PVYN) and potato tuber necrotic ringspot (PVYNTN) subgroups, and PVA. The inheritance of this phenotype was examined in seedling progenies obtained by crossing ‘Barbara’ and ‘Pirola’ with susceptible cultivars. Segregation data for resistance to PVY and PVA in a progeny involving cv ‘Pirola’ best fitted a genetical model of one gene controlling extreme resistance to both PVY and PVA, although the possibility that there are two genes, each controlling resistance to one virus but closely linked, cannot be excluded. Segregation data from progenies involving cv ‘Barbara’ best fitted a genetical model in which there are two independent genes, one controlling extreme resistance to PVA and PVY and a second gene controlling extreme resistance to PVA but not to PVY. This previously unrecognised gene conferring extreme resistance to PVA only, should be given the notation Ra in keeping with nomenclature used for other resistance genes.

    Notes: Abstract When one or both parents have a history of developmental reading disorder (RD) in childhood, the risk to their offspring for developing reading problems is substantially increased. However, risk research has usually assumed a stability of reading problems across the lifespan (i.e., if a parent was affected in childhood, he or she remains affected in adulthood). Yet, some individuals with RD in childhood compensate for the disorder as they grow older. Both an environmental and genetic hypothesis would predict that the risk for RD in offspring will vary as a function of parental compensation. This study examined whether risk to offspring was dependent on the parents' successful or unsuccessful compensation for their childhood reading problems. Two large family data sets were analyzed (N=907). Diagnoses with either an age discrepant or IQ discrepant criteria essentially showed that having at least one still affected parent (i.e., RD both as a child and as an adult) put the offspring at a higher risk for RD than having at least one compensated parent (i.e., RD as a child but not as an adult). The lowest risk to an offspring occurred when both parents were never affected (i.e., not RD as a child or as an adult). The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to counseling and early diagnosis of reading problems.

    Notes: On the way to the fullerene-acetylene hybrid carbon allotropes 2 and 6, the oxidative homocoupling of the 2-functionalized 1-ethynylated C60 derivatives 11, 12, 14, and 15 was investigated. Under Glaser-Hay conditions, the two soluble dumbbell-shaped bisfullerenes 17 and 18, with two C60 moieties linked by a buta-1,3-diynediyl bridge, were formed in 52 and 82% yield, respectively (Scheme 2). Cyclic-voltammetric measurements revealed that there is no significant electronic communication between the two fullerene spheres via the buta-1,3-diynediyl linker. Removal of the 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl (Thp) protecting groups in 18 gave in 80% yield the highly insoluble dumbbell 19 with methanol groups in the 2,2′-positions of the buta-1,3-diynediyl-bridged carbon spheres. Attempted conversion of 19 to the all-carbon dianion 6 (C1242-) via base-induced elimination of formaldehyde was not successful presumably due to exo-dig cyclization of the formed alkoxides. The occurrence of this cyclization under furan formation was proven for 2-[4-(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diyn-1-yl][60]fullerene-1-methanol (21), a soluble model compound for 19 (Scheme 3). To compare the properties of ethynylated fullerene mono-adducts to those of corresponding higher adducts, hexakis-adducts 26 and 28 with an octahedral functionalization pattern resulting from all-e (equatorial) additions were prepared by the reversible-template method of Hirsch (Scheme 4). Reaction of the ethynylated mono-adducts 25 or 13 with diethyl 2-bromomalonate/1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in the presence of 1,9-dimethylanthracene (DMA) as reversible template led to 26 and 28 in 28 and 22% yield, respectively. Preliminary experiments indicated a significant change in reactivity and NMR spectral properties of the fullerene addends with increasing degree of functionalization.

    Notes: Supports consisting of a thin layer (2-10%) of polystyrene (PS) grafted onto a poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) core are an interesting alternative to controlled pore glass (CPG) carriers in oligonucleotide synthesis. The beads are mechanically stable, do not show significant swelling, and allow effective removal of substrates by short washing steps with organic solvents. PTFE-PS as an organic polymer has generally more hydrophobic properties than inorganic polymer supports and, therefore, is well compatible with organic solvents such as anhydrous MeCN. We found PTFE with a content of 2-3% PS graft to be a very good support for the synthesis of oligonucleotides of extended length. In comparison, PTFE with 5-10% grafted PS is especially useful for large-scale syntheses. Functionalization procedures minimized in the extent of side reactions are described as well as examples for the use of the supports in syntheses of oligonucleotides both on large scale and of extended chain length.

    Notes: Reaction of ‘Push-Pull’ Enynes with Acids. First Observation of a Rearrangement of 5-Chloro-5-(dialkylamino)pentadienals‘Push-pull’-enynes 7 react easily with HCl as well as with AcOH to give 5-amino-5-chloropentadienals 8 and 5-(acetoxy)-5-aminopentadienals 13 as well as the corresponding ketones. In view of a postulated rearrangement of compounds 8 and 13 (Scheme 2), both types of compounds have been treated with traces of acid. While no definite reaction is observed in case of 13, HCl-addition products 8 easily and quantitatively rearrange to give 2H-pyran-2-iminium chlorides 10 which are the postulated intermediates of the rearrangement 8→12 (Scheme 2).

    Notes: The self-assembly of alkaline folates in isotropic water solutions, with or without added salts, has been investigated by small-angle neutron-scattering, circular-dichroism, and NMR techniques. The assembled species are chiral, cylindrical aggregates of finite length, composed of stacked tetramers; each tetramer is formed by Hoogsteen-bonded folate residues. The assembly process is more efficient in the presence of an excess of NaI ions, leading to longer aggregates with stronger tetramer-tetramer-tetramer interaction. In pure water, the rods are shorter and the tetramer-tetramer interaction weaker. Association between folates can be detected by circular-dichroism spectroscopy starting from a concentration of 6· 10-4 mol l-1, well below the critical concentration for the formation of the cholesteric mesophase (ca. 0.5 mol l-1).

    Notes: Bromination of the monosilylated dialkynylated monomer 1a (Scheme 1), dimer 3 and tetramer 5 by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of CF3COOAg gave 2, 4, and 6, respectively, in over 93%. Similar conditions led to bromodesilylation. Either silyl group of the diprotected monomer 1c was selectively removed by bromolysis. On the one hand, bromodesilylation of 1c gave 2 in yields varying between 80 and 99%. On the other hand, bromodesilylation of 7, obtained from 1c by hydrolytic removal of the tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl (Thp) group, yielded 91% of 8. Mechanistic considerations suggested that the deprotective bromination should be improved by replacing the Me3Si by a Me3Ge group. Indeed, bromodegermylation of 1b was quantitative and ca. 60 times faster than bromodesilylation of 1c. The Me3Si and Me3Ge groups can be used for an orthogonal protection/activation of dialkynes. This was shown by desilylating 12 to 11 (Scheme 2), while bromination yielded 13. Both reactions proceeded in high yields; 9 was isolated as a minor by-product of 13. The reactivity towards bromolysis decreases in the series H-DOPS 〉 Me3Ge ≈ H 〉 Me3Si 〉 Thp-DOPS (DOPS = [dimethyl(oxy)-p ropyl]dimethylsilyl). Orthogonal bromolysis of DOPS- and Me3Ge-substituted dialkynes is slightly more selective than the one of Me3Si- and Me3Ge-substituted analogues. Coupling of 7 with the bromoalkyne 2 gave the dimer 15 (76%), 14 (2%), and 16 (4%) (Scheme 3). The binomial synthesis was optimized so that each cycle, doubling the size of the precursor, requires the minimal number of transformations (Scheme 4). The orthogonally protected monomer 1b, dimer 19, and tetramer 22 were, on the one hand, hydrolyzed to the alcohols 18 (95%), 21 (91%), and 24(91%), respectively, and, on the other hand, bromodegermylated to 2 (99%), 4 (97%), and 6(93%). Cross-coupling of 18 with 2, 21 with 4, and 24 with 6 gave the orthogonally protected dimer 19 (73%), tetramer 22 (87%), and octamer 25 (83%), respectively.

    Notes: Addition reactions of organometallic reagents with 4,4-disubstituted 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones were studied. Whereas the reactions with alkyllithium and alkyl Grignard reagents occurred in the thiophilic manner, the carbophilic addition was observed with allyllithium and allyl Grignard reagents. A radical reaction mechanism is proposed for rationalizing these observations (Scheme 5). A radical cyclization of the prepared 5-allyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-5-thiol derivatives yielded 1,6-dithia-3-azaspiro[4.4]non-2-enes (Table 4).

    Notes: The syntheses of various fluorocarbon/fluorocarbon and fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon rac-1,2- and 1,3-di-O-alk(en)ylglycerophosphocholines and rac-1,2-di-O-alkylglycerophosphoethanolamines (see Fig.2), which may be used as components for drug-carrier and delivery systems, are described together with some results concerning their biological tolerance. They were obtained by phosphorylation of perfluoroalkylated rac-di-O-alk(en)ylgly-cerols using POCl3, then condensation with choline tosylate or N-Boc-ethanolamine (2-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl-amino]ethanol) followed by Boc-deportection (Schemes 6-8). The fluorcarbon/fluorocarbon 1,2-di-O-alkylgly-cerols were prepared by O-alkylation of rac-1-O-benzylglycerol using perfluoroalkylated mesylates, then hydrogenolysis for benzyl deprotection (Scheme 1). The two different hydrophobic chains in the mixed fluorocarbon/fluorocarbon and fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon 1,2-di-O-alk(en)ylglycerols were introduced starting from 1,2-O-iso-propylidene- then O-trityl-protected glycerols or from 1,3-O-benzylidene-glycerol (Schemes 3 and 4). The perfluoroalkylated O-alkenylglycerols were obtained by O-alkylation of a glycerol derivative using an ω-unsaturated alkenyl reagent, the perfluoroalkyl segment being connected onto the double bond in a subsequent step (Schemes 1) and 3. The perfluoroalkylated symmetrical and mixed 1,3-di-O-alkylglycerols were synthesized by displacement of the Cl-atom in epichlorohydrin by perfluoroalkylated alcohols, then catalytic (SnCl4) opening of the oxirane ring of the resulting alkyl glycidyl ethers in neat alcohols (Scheme 5). When injected intravenously into mice, acute maximum tolerated doses higher than 1500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight were observed for the fluorinated glycerophosphocholines, indicating a very promising in vivo tolerance.

    Notes: The synthesis of oligonucleotides containing N7-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)guanine (N7Gd; 1) is described. Compound 1 was prepared by nucleobase-anion glycosylation of 2-amino-6-methoxypurine (5) with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(4-toluoyl)-α-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride (6) followed by detoluoylation and displacement of the MeO group (8→10→1). Upon base protection with the (dimethylamino)methylidene residue (→11) the 4,4-dimethoxytrityl group was introduced at OH—C(5′) (→12). The phosphonate 3 and the phosphoramidite 4 were prepared and used in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The self-complementary dodecamer d(N7G—C)6 shows sigmoidal melting. The Tm of the duplex is 40°. This demonstrates that guanine residues linked via N(7) of purine to the phosphodiester backbone are able to undergo base pairing with cytosine.

    Notes: Starting from the esters (2E,4S)-6 and (2E,4R)-6, bromo aldehydes (S)-9 and (R)-9 as well as bromo alcohols (S)-10 and (R)-10, respectively, were prepared. Bromo alcohol (R)-8 was converted to the diol (2E,4R)-16. Ozonolysis of the latter led to aldehyde (R)-17, which was transformed, by a Wittig reaction, to (2R,4E,6R)-18, corresponding to the C(7)-to-C(14) segment of phomenoic acid (1). Attempts to improve the yields by applying a Julia coupling of (R)-23, which was prepared from (2E,4R)-7, with (R)-24 were unsuccessful. Finally, the coupling of the iodo derivative (2E,4S)-28 with the lithiated derivative of 1,3-dithiane 30 by the Corey-Seebach ‘Umpolung’ led to (3S,4E)-32 which is a derivative of the C(7)-to-C(14) segment of 1, suitable for further transformations.

    Notes: Monodisperse and polydisperse oligomers and polymers of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid (3-HB) containing 8, 16, ca. 28, 32, ca. 60, 64, 96, and ca. 3000 monomer units were incorporated into palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidyl choline (POPC) planar bilayers. At concentrations of 0.1-5% of oligo(3-HB), the resulting phospholipid bilayers showed typical single-channel behavior for Rb+ and Ba2+ ions, using the patch clamp technique. Thus, channel-forming activity of a pure polyester has been demonstrated for the first time (Figs. 1, 3, and 6). Single-channel activity depends upon the following structural parameters of the 3-HB derivatives: unprotected OH and COOH groups on the chain ends; chain length ≥ 16 monomer units; no high-molecular-weight as in P(3-HB). The results are discussed in view of the Ca2+-specific channel formed with the P(3-HP)/Ca · PPi complex from genetically competent Escherichia coli and in view of the ubiquitous occurrence of low-molecular-weight P(3-HB) in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. A simple model for the channel-causing structure is proposed, based on the proven tendency of oligo- and poly(3-HB) to form ca. 50-Å thick lamellar crystallites.

    Notes: Four cyclotetrapeptides containing one (1, 2) or two (3, 4) chiral amino acids have been C-alkylated or C-hydroxyalkylated through Li+ or phosphazenium (P4 · H+) enolates. The reactions are completely diastereoselective (by NMR or HPLC analysis) with respect to the newly formed backbone stereogenic centres (Tables 2 and 3). The reactivity of the polylithiated species responsible for these alkylations is such that only highly reactive electrophiles (MeI, BnBr, primary allylic halides, aldehydes, CO2) can be employed. It is shown that the position, and thus the chirality sense, of the newly formed stereogenic centre in a given cyclotetrapeptide backbone is controlled by the positioning of N-methyl groups in the starting material (cf. cyclo(-MeLeu-Gly-D-Ala-Sar-) (3) and cyclo(-Leu-Sar-MeDAla-Gly-) (4) in Scheme 1). With Schwesinger's phosphazene P4-base, all NH groups are first benzylated and C-benzylation then takes place at a sarcosine, rather than an N-benzylglycine residue (Table 3). In contrast to open-chain N-benzyl peptides, the N-benzylated cyclotetrapeptides could not be debenzylated under dissolving-metal conditions (Na/NH3). Conformational analysis (NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction) shows that the prevailing species have cis/trans/cis/trans(ctct) peptide bonds (zigzag conformation of Ci backbone symmetry, Figs. 2-4). However, a hitherto unknown conformation of cyclotetrapeptides has been found in CDCl3 solutions of the hydroxyalkylated products 18-21 (obtained with EtCHO and PhCHO as electrophiles; Fig.4). The new conformation has four trans peptide bonds and is believed to result mainly from intramolecular H-bond formation, involving the newly generated alkyl- or arylserine residue. This assumption has also been supported by modelling (TRIPOS force field, SYBYL, see Fig.5 and Table 6). The structure may be considered as a β-turn mimic.

    Notes: The synthesis of functionalized 1,1,2,2-tetraethynylethanes (= 3,4-diethynylhexa-1,5-diynes) as synthons for tetraethynylethenes (3,4-diethynylhex-3-ene-1,5-diynes) and as building blocks for three-dimensional acetylenic molecular scaffolding targeting the synthesis of the molecular carbon belts 3 and 4 is reported (Scheme 1). Reaction of diethyl oxalate and (trialkylsilyl)ethynyl Grignard reagents afforded the silyl-protected 3,4-diethynylhexa-1,5-diyne-3,4- diols 7 and 8 which were transformed in high yields into the cyclic carbonate 9 and the cyclic orthoesters 10-13, respectively (Scheme 2). The solid-state structures of 9 and 10 were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The alkyne protecting groups in 9, 10, and 12 were smoothly removed to give the free tetraynes 14-16 as relatively stable oils in nearly quantitative yields (Scheme 3). Orthoesters 15 and 16 underwent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with iodobenzene to give the tetraphenyl derivatives 17 and 18 (Scheme 4). Thermal acid-catalyzed elimination of the orthoester moieties in 12 and 13 produced the silyl-protected tetraethynylethenes 19 and 20 and concluded a novel, simple three-step synthesis of these fully two-dimensionally conjugated π-chromophores (Scheme 5).

    Notes: The synthesis of the thymine- and adenine-containing 5′-epi-bicyclodeoxynucleosides 7 and 8 as well as of the corresponding building blocks 13 and 14 for oligonucleotide syntheis according to the phosphoramidite methodology is described. A conformational analysis of 7 and 8 by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, refined by molecular modeling, shows the preferred conformation of the furanose unit in these nucleosides to be of the 1′-exo/2′-endo type. The 5′-OH group on the carbocyclic ring prefers to be axially oriented, thus placing torsion angle γ in the unusual -syn-clinal (-sc) range. These epi-bicyclodeoxynucleosides were successfully incorporated into DNA decamers. From UV/melting curves of such decamers with DNA and RNA complements, a duplex destabilization of -2 to -9° per residue was observed. An oligonucleotide built completely from 5′-epi-bicyclothymidine shows no detectable affinity to its DNA or RNA complement anymore. CD Spectra of duplexes containing 5′-epi-bicyclodeoxynucleotide units are very similar to the natural reference systems, indicating no major structural changes. A molecular-dynamics simulation of a heptamer duplex containing one 5′-epibicyclothymidine residue in the center reveals a conformational change of its carbocyclic unit placing torsion angle γ in the (for the free mononucleoside unfavorable) -anti-clinal (-ac) conformation in the duplex. The role of torsion angle γ on DNA duplex stability is discussed.

    Notes: L-Aspartic acid by tosylation, anhydride formation, and reduction with NaBH4 was converted into (3S)-3-(tosylamino)butan-4-olide (8; Scheme 1). Tretment of 8 with ethanolic trimethylsilyl iodide gave the N-protected deoxy-iodo-β-homoserine ethyl ester 9. The latter, on successive nucleophilic displacement with lithium dialkyl-cuprates ( → 10a-e), alkaline hydrolysis ( → 11a-e), and reductive removal of the tosyl group, produced the corresponding 4-substituted (3R)-3-aminobutanoic acids 12a-e (ee 〉 99%). Electrophilic hydroxylation of 8 ( → 19; Scheme 3), subsequent iodo-esterification ( → 21; Scheme 4), and nucleophilic alkylation and phenylation afforded, after saponification and deprotection, a series of 4-substituted (2S, 3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acids 24 including the N-terminal acids 24e ( =3) and 24f ( =4) of bestatin and microginin (de 〉 95%), respectively.

The isoquinolin-1-one fragment 15 was synthesized by a modified Bischler-Napieralski reaction. The relative configuration of the (-)-isomer was determined by an X-ray crystal-structure analysis, which enabled us to determine the absolute configuration of natural (+)-1a as (8S,13R).

    Notes: The methanolysis of the epimeric 7-chloro-7H-yohimbine derivatives 2 and 3 was reinvestigated. In case of the 7α-epimer 2, the reaction was uneventful and conformed with earlier observations, i.e., under sufficiently mild conditions, only the imino ether 4 (= imino ether A) was produced. Under the same conditions, the less reactive β-isomer 3 furnished a mixture of both imino ethers 4 and 5, accompanied by the elimination product 11, and by equal amounts of yohimbine (1) and 3,4,5,6-tetradehydroyohimbine (12), which are believed to arise through a disproportionation process of the putative intermediate 5,6-didehydroyhimbine (23). The nature of this divergent reactivity and of the ready equilibration of 4 and 5 was investigated by means of extensive force-field and semi-empirical calculations (AM1 and PM3) of various conformers of the compounds 2-5 and of some possible reaction intermediates.

Epoxy ketones 3 are also obtained under neutral conditions on irradiation (λ = 350 nm) of cyclohexenones 1 in air-saturated benzene solution. Similarly, under neutral conditions oxo-cycloalkenecarbonitriles 8 react (thermally) with H2O2 in MeCN to give the oxabicyclic carbonitriles 9.

    Notes: Early steps in the biosynthesis of dedecano-4-lactone in ripening nectarines (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) and strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) were studied using cis-9,10-([18O]epoxy)heptadecanoic acid (5), instead of the natural C18-precursor epoxystearic acid 1. In nectarines, an epoxide hydrolase catalyzed, in a highly regio- and enantioselective reaction, the attack of H2O at C(9) of epoxy acid 5 yielding preferentially (9R,10R)-dihydroxyheptadecanoic acid 6a as an early intermediate and, after further metabolization, undecano-4-lactone 7a. In strawberries, the same transformation exhibited only a moderate regio- and enantioselectivity. Besides the previously established function of phytogenic epoxide hydrolases involved in generating oxygenated fatty-acid derivatives, which are used in cutin monomer production and plant defence, a new rǒle for these enzymes now emerges in the enantioselective production of aroma components of ripening fruits. The cis-9,10-([18O]epoxy)heptadecanoic acid (≥ 98% 18O; 5) was obtained in good overall yield (68%) from isopropyl (9Z)-heptadec-9-enoate using 18O2 gas in a free-radical chain reaction in the presence of 2-methylbutanal.

    Notes: Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Sulfur Heterocycles Using 3,3,3-Trifluoropyruvic-Acid DerivativesThe reaction of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (1) with 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 4a, b in benzene at 45° yielded the corresponding methyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxathiolane-5-carboxylates 5a, b (Scheme 1) via a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an intermediate ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ of type 3. With methyl pyruvate, 4a reacted similarly to give 6 in good yield. Methyl 2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate (2) and thiobenzophenone (7a) in toluene underwent a reaction at 50°; the only product detected in the reaction mixture was thiirane 8a (Scheme 2). With the less reactive thiocarbonyl compounds 9H-xanthene-9-thione (7b) and 9H-thioxanthene-9-thione (7c) as well as with 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 12, diazo compound 2 reacted only in the presence of catalytic amounts of Rh2(OAc)4. In the cases of 7a and 7b, thiiranes 8b and 8c, respectively, were the sole products (Scheme 3). The crystal struture of 8c has been established by X-ray crystallography (Fig.). In the reaction with 12, desulfurization of the primarily formed thiirane 14 gave the methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-ylidene)propanoates (E)-and (Z)-15 (Scheme 4). A mechanism of the Rh-catalyzed reaction via a carbene addition to the thiocarbonyl S-atom is proposed in Scheme 5.

    Notes: The oligonucleotide building blocks, the phosphonates 1a, b and the phosphoramidites 2a, b derived from 7-iodo- and 7-bromo-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosines 3a, b were prepared. They were employed in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis of the alternating octamers d(Br7c7G-C)4 (8) and d(I7c7G-C)4 (9) as well as the homo-oligonucleotides d[(Br7c7G)5-G] (11) and d[(I7c7G)5-G] (12). The melting profiles and CD spectra of oligonucleotide duplexes were measured. The Tm values as well as the thermodynamic data were determined and correlated to the major-groove modification of this DNA. The self-complementary octamers 8 and 9 form more stable duplexes compared to the parent oligomer d(G-C)4. The heteroduplex of d[(I7c7G)5-G] (12) with d(C6) is slightly destabilized (ΔTm = -12°) over that of d[(c7G)5-G] with d(C6). However, the complex of 12 with poly(C) is more stable than that of d[(c7G5-G)] with poly(C).

    Notes: Guanidinium compounds imitating the bis(arginine) structural motif of staphylococcal nuclease (e.g. 3) are known to be powerful catalysts for phosphoryl transfer reactions in dipolar aprotic solvents. Compound 3 also accelerates the hydrolysis of RNA (H2O, pH 7). However, due to diminished substrate affinity in H2O, the rate effects are less pronounced in aqueous than in aprotic solution. To test if a synthetic ribonuclease may be derived from the bis(guanidinium) moiety of 3 by the addition of RNA-binding substructures, the TAR sequence of HIV-1 was chosen as a target. The arginine residue of compound 4 serves as an extremely simplified mimic of tat, a protein responsible for boosting the viral transcription by complex formation with TAR. Here, we present the synthesis of 4 and its ability to bind and to cleave efficiently the truncated TAR sequence 1. In addition, the synthesis of an acridine arginine conjugate, 19, is reported in preliminary form. Compound 19 associates with 1 and completely blocks the cleavage induced by 4.

    Notes: Studies on post-angioplastic restenosis have shown the implication of angiotensin II (Ang) as a myoproliferative mediator. The antiproliferative efficacy of non-peptide Ang antagonists on the rat carotid model is of 50%, whereas a continuously infused peptide antagonist at low doses totally blocks neointimal growth. To explore the feasibility of depot forms of Ang that may be introduced during angioplasty and thus prevent restenois, lipid-masked Ang analogues of the following general structure were prepared: [Xxx°, Yyy1]Ang with Xxx = decanoyl or palmitoyl and Yyy = Ser, Cys, Asp, β-lactoyl, 3-mercaptopropanoyl or succinyl. All fatty acylated peptides [Xxx°, Yyy1]Ang were practically inactive, and O- or S-esterified Ser and Cys peptides underwent intramolecular transcylation giving inactive Nx-acylated peptides. O-Acylated [β-mercaptopropanoyl1]Ang were easily hydrolyzed into their biologically active[Yyy1]Ang forms, either by mild saponification or by lipase activity.

    Notes: Nortopsentin D (5), a bis(indole) alkaloid unique for bearing a 2-amino-methylimidazole appendage at the central 1H-imidazol-5(4H)-one nucleus, was isolated in abundance, besides the putative biogenetic precursor 6 of its appendage, from the deep-water axinellid sponge Dragmacidon sp. Structural elucidation of 5 by NMR and MS methods heavily relied on its N-methyl derivatives 8-11. Unusually for topsentin-type structures, natural 5 and semisynthetic methyl derivatives 8 and 10 proved inactive on KB tumoural cells, while introduction of the last three methyl groups, amazingly led to highly cytotoxic 11.

    Notes: The interaction between a vitamin B12 derivative containing a peripheral C18 alkyl chain (see 1a) and a (methyl)thiomalonate substrate bearing alkyl chains of various length at the thioester group (see 5) was investigated. A catalytic cycle was established for the methylmalonyl→succinyl rearrangement by using electrochemistry and photolysis (see Scheme 3). Increased yields of the succinate relative to the reduction product were obtained (2:3 ratio), when the reaction was run in MeOH/H2O, and when both the substrate and the catalyst had an octadecyl substituent capable of hydrophobic interactions.

    Notes: The electrospray tandem mass spectra (ESI-MS/MS) of the three N,N′-bis[(E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]spermidines 1-3 displayed the same fragment-ion signals. These isomers could not be differentiated by ESI-MS/MS, since their fragmentation patterns are similar. (E,E)-N-(3-[15N]Aminopropyl)-3,3′-bis(4- hydroxyphenyl)-N,N′-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis[prop-2-enamide] ([15N(1)])-(1) was synthesized in order to get further information about the fragmentation mechanisms. The comparison of the ESI-MS/MS of 1 and [15N(1)]-1 revealed a transamidation, the Zip reaction, under mass-spectral conditions of the [1 + H]+ ions. Because of this reaction, the three isomers 1-3 could not be distinguished.

    Notes: A total synthesis of cyclothialidine (1), a new DNA gyrase inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces filipinensis, is described. The synthetic concept was tested by preparing the lactone 13 (Scheme 2) which contains the characteristic bicyclic core entity of 1. Key features of the synthesis of 1 are: preparation of 3,5-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid (23) from 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (19) by two consecutive Mannich aminomethylation/hydrogenation sequences; benzylic N-bromosuccinimide bromination of an ester derivative 25 thereof and its subsequent coupling with Boc-Ser-Cys-OMe (11); cyclization of the ω-hydroxy acid 29 29 to the 12-membered lactone 30 using preferably Mitsunobu conditions; completion of the peptidic side chains of 1 using Boc strategy (Scheme 4). Optically pure cis-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-hydroxy-L-proline ((-)-14) was obtained by resolution of the racemate via an efficient reaction sequence containing a lipase-catalyzed enantiospecific acetate hydrolysis (Scheme 3). The structure of natural 1 was confirmed by comparison with the synthetic material. The synthetic route described provides also easy access to analogues of 1, e.g., via the intermediate 30.

    Notes: A comprehensive series of tetraethynylethenes (= 3,4-diethynylhex-3-ene-1,5-diynes, TEEs) bearing electrondonating (p-methoxyphenyl or p-aminophenyl) and/or electron-accepting (p-nitrophenyl) groups was prepared via [Pd]-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The electronic and photonic properties of these molecules were investigated with a special emphasis on the effects caused by degree and pattern of donor/acceptor substitution around the central TEE core. This analysis showed that intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions, as evidenced by a long-wavelength charge-transfer band, are considerably more effective in TEEs 44 and 46, with trans and cis, linearly-conjugated electronic pathways between donor and acceptor, than in 11, with a geminal, cross-conjugated electronic pathway. UV/VIS Spectroscopy revealed a steady bathochromic shift of the longest-wavelength absorption band (λmax) as the number of donor-acceptor conjugation paths increased upon changing from bis-arylated (11, 44, and 46) to tetrakis-arylated (14, 31, and 35) TEEs. The position of the longest-wavelength absorption was also found to be strongly dependent on the nature of the N-substituents in the R2NC6H4-donor groups. Electronic emission spectroscopic investigations demonstrated a considerable solvent dependency of the fluorescence of donor-acceptor-substituted TEEs such as 11 or 44, in agreement with the presence of highly polarized excited states in these molecules. Correspondingly, fluorescence spectra of TEEs bearing only donor or acceptor substituents showed little solvent dependency. The large majority of the donor/acceptor-substituted TEEs are thermally and environmentally stable molecules. They can be stored for months as solids in the air at room temperature, and many decompose only upon heating to temperatures above 200°. X-Ray analysis showed the conjugated C-atom scaffolds of 44, 46, and 67 to be essentially planar, whereas the aryl substituents in 28 and 30 are rotated out of the plane of the TEE core by varying degrees.

    Notes: The β-hexapeptide (H-β-HVal-β-HAla-β-HLeu)2-OH (2) was prepared from the component L-β-amino acids by conventional peptide synthesis, including fragment coupling. A cyclo-β-tri- and a cyclo-β-hexapeptide were also prepared. The β-amino acids were obtained from α-amino acids by Arndt-Eistert homologation. All reactions leading to the β-peptides occur smoothly and in high yields. The β-peptides were characterized by their CD and NMR spectra (COSY, ROESY, TOCSY, and NOE-restricted modelling), and by an X-ray crystal-structure analysis. β-Sheet-type structures (in the solid state) and a compact, left-handed or (M) 31 helix of 5-Å pitch (in solution) were discovered. Comparison with the analogous secondary structures of α-peptides shows fundamental differences, the most surprising one at this point being the greater stability of β-peptide helices. There are structural relationships of β-peptides with oligomers of β-hydroxyalkanoic acids, and dissimilarities between the two classes of compounds are a demonstration of the power of H-bonding. The β-hexapeptide 2 is stable to cleavage by pepsin at pH 2 in H2O for at least 60 h at 37°, while the corresponding α-peptide H-(Val-Ala-Leu)2-OH is cleaved instantaneously under these conditions. The implication of the described results are discussed.

    Notes: Cholic-acid-type 3-keto steroids 1-8, all isolated from Deltocyathus magnificus (2-8 after CH2N2 treatment), are the first secondary metabolites obtained from a deep-water scleractinian. Steroids 1-3, 5, and 7 are new, their main structural oddities being loss of C(24) (see 5) or hydroxylation in the side chain (see 3 and 7). Steroids 4, 6, and 8, from the same coral, were previously known from other marine organisms.

    Notes: Rearrangement of 5α- and 5β-cholesta-6,8(14)-dienes (13a and 13b, resp.) in the presence of anhydrous toluene-4-sulfonic acid in acetic acid leads to 5α- and 5β-12(13 → 14)-abeo-cholesta-8,13(17)-dienes (15a and 15b, resp.) via 5α- and 5β-cholesta-8,14-dienes (14a and 14b, resp.), respectively. Epimerization at C(20) of the spirosteradienes 15a and 15b occurs with increasing reaction time. Molecular-mechanics calculation of the relative stabilities of these compounds and of congeners thereof is in agreement with the observed reaction pathway.

    Notes: The total syntheses of the spermidine alkaloids (-)-mayfoline (11) and (+)-N(1)-acetyl-N(1)-deoxymayfoline (12) are described. These macrocyclic lactams belong to the most interesting conjugates of the polyamine derivatives very commonly found in nature. The enantioselective syntheses were achieved through resolution of the methyl 3-amino-3-phenylpropanoate (2) by recrystallization of its (+)-L-tartrate salt. Construction of the 13-membered ring ensued through condensation, reductive ring expansion (internal bond cleavage), and finally a transamidation reaction involving a second ring expansion.

    Notes: A number of natural polyphenols (chlorogenic acid (9), cordigol (11), cordigone (12), danthrone (1), 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (2), eriosematin (7), flemichin D (8), frutinone A (6), mangiferin (4), quercetin (5), 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (3) and verbascoside (10)) were investigated for their redox properties using cyclic voltammetry. The antioxidant properties of these compounds were also examined in two models, namely lipid peroxidation in rat synaptosomes and AAPH-mediated oxidation of serum albumin. Compounds with a catechol group (9, 4, 5, 3 and 10) were oxidized below 0.4 V and inhibited lipid peroxidation with IC50 values between 2 and 8 μM. Compounds having one or more isolated phenolic groups and showing an oxidation potential between 0.45 and 0.8 V (11, 12 and 8) inhibited lipid peroxidation with IC50 between 7 and 9 μM, except 2 (0.45 V), danthrone (0.96 V) and eriosematin which showed no or modest antioxidant activity. Some of the investigated compounds also protected albumin from oxidation, but no structure-activity relationship was apparent, suggesting that other factors beside redox potential influence this activity.

    Notes: To demonstrate the relevance of the kinetic acidity of individual OH groups for the regioselectivity of glycosylation by glycosylidene carbenes, we compared the glycosylation by 1 of the known triol 2 with the glycosylation of the diol D-3 and the fluorodiol L-4. Deoxygenation with Bu3SnH of the phenoxythiocarbonyl derivative of 5 (Scheme 1) or the carbonothioate 6 gave the racemic alcohol (±)-7. The enantiomers were separated via the allophanates 9a and 9b, and desilylated to the deoxydiols D- and L-3, respectively. The assignment of their absolute configuration is based upon the CD spectra of the bis(4-bromobenzoates) D- and L-10. The (+)-(R)-1-phenylethylcarbamates 13a and 13b (Scheme 2) were prepared from the fluoroinositol (±)-11 via (±)-4 and the silyl ether (±)-12 and separated by chromatography. The absolute configuration of 13a was established by X-ray analysis. Decarbamoylation of 13a ( → L-12) and desilylation afforded the fluorodiol L-4. The H-bonds of D-3 and L-4 in chlorinated solvents and in dioxane were studied by IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy (Fig. 2). In both diols, HO—C(2) forms an intramolecular, bifurcated H-bond. There is an intramolecular H-bond between HO—C(6) and F in solutions of L-4 in CH2Cl2, but not in 1,4-dioxane; the solubility of L-4 in CH2Cl2 is too low to permit a meaningful glycosidation in this solvent. Glycosidation of D-3 in dioxane by the carbene derived from 1 (Scheme 3) followed by acetylation gave predominantly the pseudodisaccharides 18/19 (38%), derived from glycosidation of the axial OH group besides the pseudodisaccharides 16/17 (13%) and the epoxides 20/21 (7%), derived from protonation of the carbene by the equatorial OH group. Similarly, the reaction of L-4 with 1 (Scheme 4) led to the pseudodisaccharides 28/29 (46%) and 26/27 (14%), derived from deprotonation of the axial and equatorial OH groups, respectively. Formation of the epoxides involved deprotonation of the intramolecularly H-bonded tautomer, followed by intramolecular alkylation, elimination, and substitution (Scheme 4). The regio- and diastereoselectivities of the glycosidation correlate with the H-bonds in the starting diols.

    Notes: The cellobiose-derived dialkynes 14 and 15 were prepared by glycosidation of the acceptor 9 with the thioglycosides 12(82%) and 13(85%), respectively. The acceptor 9 was prepared from the known alcohol 2 via the lactone 7 in five steps (48% overall), and the donors 12 and 13 were prepared from the alkynylated anhydroglucose derivative 10 (60% overall). Acetolytic debenzylation of 14 and 15 (→16 and 17, resp.) followed by deacylation of 16 yielded 60% of the cellobiose-derived dialkyne 18. Deacylation of 14 (→19), methoxymethylation (→20) and trimethylgermylation led to the orthogonally protected dialkyne 21 (69% overall). Protodesilylation of 21 with K2CO3/MeOH gave 22 (90%), while the Me3Ge group was selectively removed with CuBr (19 mol-%) in THF/MeOH to give 20 (95%). Treatment of 21 with aqueous HCl solution led to 19 (80%). Bromodegermylation of 21 (NBS/AgOOCCF3) led to a mixture of 23 (85%) and 24 (11%). Similar conditions using CuBr instead of AgOOCCF3 gave exclusively the bromoalkyne 23 (93%). The temperature dependence of the δ values of the OH resonances of 18 in (D6)DMSO evidence a strong intramolecular H-bond between C(5′)—O…HO—C(5).

    Notes: The Cinchona alkaloid analogs (+)- and (-)-5 with a quinuclidine-2-methanol residue attached to C(2) of a 9,9′-spirobifluorene moiety were prepared as a racemic mixture by reacting lithiated 2-bromo-9,9′-spirobifluorene 7 with (2-ethoxycarbonyl)quinuclidine (±)-6 to give ketone (±)-8, followed by diastereoselective reduction with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H). The absolute configuration at C(9) and C(8), i.e., at the methanol bridge and the adjacent quinuclidine C-atom, in the two enantiomers of 5 is identical to the configuration at the corresponding centers in (-)-quinine (1) and (+)-quinidine (2), respectively. For the optical resolution of (±)-5, a chiral stationary phase for HPLC was prepared by covalently bonding quinine via a thiol spacer to a silica-gel surface. The enantiomer separation was accomplished at an α value of 1.61 with (±)-5 being eluted last, in agreement with 1H-NMR studies in CDCl3 which showed that (+)-5 underwent a more stable host-guest association with quinine than (-)-5. 1H{1H} Nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) difference spectroscopical analysis of the host-guest associations with quinine in CDCl3, combined with computer-model examinations, allowed the assignment of the absolute configurations as (+)-(8R,9S)-5 and (-)-(8S,9R)-5. A detailed conformational analysis displayed excellent agreement between the results of computational methods (Monte Carlo multiple minimum simulations, analyses of the total energy as a function of the flexible dihedral angles in the molecule) and 1H{1H}-NOE difference spectroscopical data. It was found that (-)-5 and (+)-5 differ significantly in their conformational preference from their natural counterparts quinine (1) and quinidine (2). Whereas the natural alkaloids prefer the ‘open’ conformation, with the quinuclidine N-atom pointing away from the quinoline ring, analog (±)-5 adopts preferentially (by ca. 4 kcal mol-1) a ‘closed’ conformation, in which the quinuclidine N-atom points into the cleft of the 9,9′-spirobifluorene moiety. Since the basic quinuclidine N-atom in the ‘closed’ conformation is sterically shielded from forming strong H-bonds, the new Cinchona alkaloid analogs form less stable host-guest associations via H-bonding than quinine or quinidine.

    Notes: Acidic condensation of 2,4-dimethylfuran with acetaldehyde provided 2,2′-ethylidenebis[3,5-dimethylfuran] (7) which added 1 equiv. of methyl bromopropynoate to give a major adduct 8. Regio- and stereoselective hydroboration of the latter 7-oxanorbornadiene derivative followed by alcohol protection and methanolysis of its β-bromoacrylate moiety gave (1RS,2RS,4RS,5SR,6SR,1′RS)-methyl 4-[1′-(3″,5″-dimethylfuran-2″-yl)ethyl]-3,3-dimethoxy-6-exo-[(2-methoxy)ethoxy]-1,5-endo-dimethyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-endo-carboxylate (24) (Schemes 2 and 3). Reduction of 24 with LiAlH4, followed by H2O and MeOH elimination gave the 3-methyl-idene-7-oxanorbornan-2-one derivative 26 which underwent 7-oxa ring opening through a SN2′ type of reaction with Me2CuLi (Scheme 4). Stereoselective hydrogenation and ketone reduction provided (1RS, 2SR,3RS,4RS,5RS,6RS,1′SR)-1- [1″-(3 ″,5″-dimethylfuran-2″-yl)]-c-3-ethyl-c-5-[(2-methoxyethoxy)m e-c-ethyl-c-c-5-(2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy]-t-4,t-6-dimethyl-cyclohexane-r-1,c-2-diol (32), the oxidative cleavage of which with Pb(OAc)4 generated a 6-oxo-aldehyde 33 (Schemes 4 and 5). Chemoselective protection of 33 and chemo- and stereoselective reductions generated (2RS,3RS,4SR,5SR,6SR,7RS)-7-(3′,5″-dimethylfuran-2′-yl)-2-ethyl-6-hydroxy-4-[(2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy]-3,5-dimethyloct-1-yl pivaloate (36) and its 4-hydroxy 6-epimer 40 (12 and 13 steps, resp., from adduct 8; Scheme 5). Oxidation of the furan ring of 36 led to a (2RS,3SR,4RS,5SR,6RS,7RS)-7-ethyl-3,5,8-trihydroxy-2,4,6-trimethyl-octanoic acid derivative 44, a polypropionate fragment with six contiguous stereogenic centres (Scheme 6).

    Notes: Cyclohexa-1,3-dienes 7-10 with a 1,5,6-substitution pattern were prepared in a one-pot reaction sequence by sequential addition of MeLi and propargyl bromides to the tricarbonylchromium complex 1a. These products were subjected to radical cyclization procedures. Vinyl radical generation by Bu3Sn addition to the propargyl group in 7-10 was followed by regio- and diastereoselective intramolecular ring closure. Two different 5-exo-trig cyclizations are possible via different vinyl radical intermediates and cyclization to one or the other of the termini of the cyclohexadiene moiety. Internal alkynes reacted to yield exclusively the cis-fused hexahydroindene products 12-14, whereas the terminal alkyne yielded bicyclo[3.2.1]octenes 11 as sole products.

    Notes: The first asymmetric intramolecular Stetter reaction is reported, using the chiral triazolium salt 1 as catalyst. Starting from the easily accessible 4-(2-formylphenoxy)but-2-enoates 2, this protocol opens up an enantioselective pathway to the benzo-annulated pyran-4-ones (chroman-4-ones) 3a-h with good yields and enantiomeric excesses of up to 74%.

    Notes: The 3-(2-propenylidene)-β-lactams 1a-c react as semicyclic dienes with the dihydrotriazole-diones 2 in a stereoselective fashion leading to the cycloadducts 3. The 3′,3′-disubstituted derivative 4 gives no [4 + 2]-cycloaddition products but forms the adducts 5 and 6. Sterochemistry and reaction pathways are discussed.

    Notes: Quantum-chemical calculations employing a density-functional theory/Hartree-Fock hybrid method (B3LYP) have been used to explore the mechanistic details of the C—C and C—H bond-activation processes in propane mediated by a bare Fe+ ion. While the theoretically predicted results are in complete accord with all available experimental data, they give rise to a different mechanistic picture than envisaged previously. In contrast to earlier speculation, the activation barriers for the initial insertion steps of Fe+ into a C—H or C—C bond are found to be significantly below the Fe+ + C3H8 channel. The rate-determining steps for both, the C—C and the C—H bond activation branches of the [FeC3H8]+ potential-energy surface rather occur late on the respective reaction coordinates and are connected with saddle points of concerted rearrangement processes. The C—C bond activation, which leads to the exothermic reductive elimination of methane, occurs via the C—C inserted species and not as a side channel originating from a C—H inserted ion, as assumed hitherto. For the C—H bond-activation processes, which finally results in the exothermic expulsion of molecular hydrogen, two energetically similar reaction channels for an [1,2]-elimination exist. The results clearly show, that an [1,3]-H2-elimination mechanism cannot compete with the [1,2]-elimination paths, in line with the experimental findings. Overall, a lower energy demand for the reductive elimination of methane compared to the loss of H2 is obtained, straightforwardly explaining the preference of the former process observed experimentally.

    Notes: At 0° in MeCN, 2,2-disubstituted 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 and 4,4-disubstituted 1,2-thiazetidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides 7 react smoothly to give 1,2,5-thiadiazepin-6-one 1,1-dioxides of type 8 (Scheme 2). The reaction mechanism of this regiospecific ring enlargement to seven-membered heterocycles follows previously described pathways. The structures of 7a and 8b were established by X-ray crystallography (see Figs. 1 and 2).

    Notes: (all-Z)-(9,10,12,13,15,16-2H6)Octadeca-9,12,15-trienoic acid ( = α-linolenic acid; D6-4) was synthesized to investigate the biochemical formation of linolenic-acid-derived aroma compounds in cultures of the yeast Sporobolomyces odorus, using an established gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method. Three compounds were identified as labeled: (Z)-dec-7-eno-5-lactone (δ-jasmin lactone), (Z,Z)-dodeca-6,9-dieno-4-lactone, and (2E,4Z)-hepta-2,4-dienoic acid. Both lactones were biosynthesized mostly under conservation of the initial configuration from their corresponding oxygenated linolenic-acid intermediates. The application of (13S,9Z,11E,15Z)-13-hydroxy(9,10,12,13,15, 16-2H6)octadeca-9,11,15-trienoic acid (D6-7) as a OH-functionalized precursor of δ-jasmin lactone allowed to gain insight into the stereochemical course of the biosynthesis to both enantiomers of this lactone. In this experiment, 88.3% of the metabolized labeled precursor was transformed under retention of the original configuration of the (R)-enantiomer. This investigation is also a contribution to a better understanding of the C=C bond isomerization steps which took place during the β-oxidative degradation of the substrate.

    Notes: 5,5′-Bi-5H-cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b′]dipyridinylidene(1) was synthesized in three steps from 9,10-phenanthroline and characterized by UV/VIS and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry. Its ability to act as a bridging ligand is demonstrated by the synthesis of the complexes [Ru(bpy)2(1)](PF6)2 (6) and [{Ru(bpy)2}2(1)](PF6)4 (7) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine).

    Notes: The cyclopentadienes 3a/b/c, 8b/c, 12a/b/d, and 16a/b/d were prepared as mixtures of regioisomers from the D-mannitol-derivatives 1,6,10, and 14 and transformed into the ferrocenes 17, 18, and 19 (73%; 38:17:45), 23, 24, and 25 (70%; 6:42 :52), 26 (31%), and 27 (27%), respectively. Deprotection of 17-19 with HCl/MeOH gave the H2O-soluble ferrocenes 20-22; chloromercuration and iodination of 17 via 29 led to the C2-symmetric diiodo-ferrocene 30. The mono(chloromercurio) derivative 28, obtained as a by-product, was also transformed into 29. The structure of the ferrocenes 18 and 19, and of the bis(chloromercurio)ferrocene 29 has been established by X-ray analysis. The starting cyclopentadienes 3 were obtained in 50% yield from 1 by dialkylation of CpNa, followed by thermolysis of the spiro-annulated 2. Similarly, dimesylate 6 (from 4) gave the spiro-annulated diene 7 and the annulated dienes 8 in about equal amounts; thermolysis transformed 7 into 8 (62%). The dienes 12 were prepared in 15% yield from the ditriflate 10 via 11, the dimesylate 9 proving insufficiently reactive, and the dienes 16 (49%) from 14 via 15.

    Notes: The structure of the β-glycosidase inhibitors 1-7 and 10-13 suggests that protonation of O-C(1) (the glycosidic O-center) of the substrate by a carboxy group of the retaining β-glycosidases does not occur in the plane perpendicular to the ring of the glycon (β-side; ‘from the top’), but in the plane of the ring (‘from the side’). The triazoles 17 and 18 have been prepared in six steps from the L-xylofuranose 21. They possess a CH group instead of the N-center of the related tetrazoles 4 and 5, corresponding to the glycosidic O-atom, and a very similar structure, both in solution and in the solid state. Unlike the tetrazoles, however, which are good-to-medium inhibitors of retaining β-glycosidases, the triazoles do not inhibit the β-glycosidases from sweet almonds, snail, and bovine liver, and only slightly inhibit the β-glucosidase from Caldocellum saccharolyticum. This is in keeping with the proposed direction of protonation in the plane of the saccharide ring and with modelling studies, docking 4 into the active site of the white clover cyanogenic β-glucosidase and 6 into the E. coli β-galactosidase and the Lactococcus lactis 6-phospho-β-galactosidase.

    Notes: A new concept for molecular switches, based on thermal or photochemical double-bond shifts (DBS) in [4n]annulenes such as heptalenes or cyclooctatetraenes, is introduced (cf. Scheme 2). Several heptalene-1,2- and -4,5-dicarboxylates (cf. Scheme 4) with (E)-styryl and Ph groups at C(5) and C(1), or C(4) and C(2), respectively, have been investigated. Several X-ray crystal-structure analyses (cf. Figs. 1-5) showed that the (E)-styryl group occupies in the crystals an almost perfect s-trans-conformation with respect to the C=C bond of the (E)-styryl moiety and the adjacent C=C bond of the heptalene core. Supplementary 1H-NOE measurements showed that the s-trans-conformations are also adopted in solution (cf. Schemes 6 and 9). Therefore, the DBS process in heptalenes (cf. Schemes 5 and 8) is always accompanied by a 180° torsion of the (E)-styryl group with respect to its adjacent C=C bond of the heptalene core. The UV/VIS spectra of the heptalene-1,2- and -4,5-dicarboxylates illustrated that it can indeed be differentiated between an ‘off-state’, which possesses no ‘through-conjugation’ of the π-donor substituent and the corresponding MeOCO group and an ‘on-state’ where this ‘through-conjugation’ is realized. The ‘through-conjugation’, i.e., conjugative interaction via the involved s-cis-butadiene substructure of the heptalene skeleton, is indicated by a strong enhancement of the intensities of the heptalene absorption bands I and II (cf. Tables 3-6). The most impressive examples are the heptalene-dicarboxylates 11a, representing the off-state, and 11b which stands for the on-state (cf. Fig.8).

    Notes: The radical anions of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (9), 5 H-dibenzo[c,f][1,2]diazepine (10), 5,6-dihydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene (11), 5,6-dihydrodibenzo[c,g][1,2]diazocine (12), and (E)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3,4-diphenylhex-3-ene (13) were characterized by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy. Their hyperfine data were compared with those previously reported for radical anions also containing the stilbene or the azobenzene π-system. Whereas the π-spin distribution in the radical anions of the stilbene series is only moderately sensitive to deviations of the π-system from planarity, the radical anions of the azobenzene series respond to steric strain by shifting the π-spin population from the benzene rings to the azo group. This finding is impressively demonstrated by the similar hyperfine data for 9· - and 11· - which contrast with the strongly highly hindered 13· -. A. plausible interpretation is readily provided by the electron affinities of the constituent π-moieties in stilbene and azobenzene. While those of benzene and ethene are both comparatively low, the azo group has a considerably higher electron affinity.

    Notes: We used semi-empirical and ab initio calculations to investigate the nucleophilic attack of the OH- ion on the β-lactam carbonyl group. Both allowed us to detect reaction intermediates pertaining to proton-transfer reactions rather than the studied reaction. We also used the PM3 semi-empirical method to investigate the influence of the solvent on the process. The AMSOL method predicts the occurrence of a potential barrier of 20.7 kcal/mol due to the desolvation of the OH- ion in approaching the β-lactam carbonyl group. Using the supermolecular approach and a H2O solvation sphere of 20 molecules around the solute, the potential barrier is lowered to 17.5 kcal/mol, which is very close to the experimental value (16.7 kcal/mol).

    Notes: The application of the improved phosphoramidite strategy for the synthese of oligonucleotides using β-eliminating protecting groups to phospholipid chemistry offers the possibility to synthesize phospholipid conjugates of AZT (6) and cordycepin. The synthesis of 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine (6) was achieved by a new isolation procedure without chromatographic purification steps in an overall yield of 50%. Protected cordycepin ( = 3′-de-oxyadenosine) derivatives, the N6,2′-bis[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin (12) and the N6,5′-bis[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin (13) wre prepared by known methods and direct acylation of N6-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin (9), respectively. These protected nucleosides and the 3′-azido-3′-de-oxythymidine (6) reacted with newly synthesized and properly characterized lipid-phosphoramidites 21-25, catalyzed by 1H-tetrazole, to the corresponding nucleoside-phospholipid conjugates 26-38 in high yield. The deprotection was accomplished via β-elimination with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in aprotic solvents to give analytically pure nucleoside-phospholipid diesters 39-51 as triethylammonium or sodium salts. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and UV and 1H-NMR spectra.

    Notes: The dihydrozirconafuran 3 (2,2-di(cyclopenta-2,4-dien-l-yl)-2,5-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,2-oxazirconole) is a valuable synthetic equivalent to the 14-electron fragment Cp2ZrThroughout this paper, Cp=η5-C5H5. The reactions of this metallacycle suppose an equilibrium with an ‘opened’ form [ZrCp2(RC≡CR)(acetone)], the latter paving the way to numerous ligand replacements. In a solution containing the dihydrozirconafuran and acetone, these reactions are reversible and degenerate, and can be studied by NMR methods: by two-dimensional spectroscopy and by observation of the isotope-induced chemical shifts that occur upon incorporation of (D6)acetone into the metallacycle. The findings give an indirect proof of the described equilibrium.
