    Notes: Abstract  An ultrastructural and autoradiographic analysis of changes in 188 biopsy specimens of bronchial mucosa of the large bronchi from 76 patients with chronic inflammatory lung diseses was carried out. Fibrosis results in an apparent reduction of metabolic activity in endothelial cells, affecting the proliferation of basal cells with changes in cell differentiation. Endobronchial laser therapy with an helium-neon laser induces proliferative and metabolic processes in the lamina propria of the bronchial mucosa with hyperaemia, intensive diapedesis of leucocytes and formation of leucocytic infiltrations and granulation tissue. The proliferative and metabolic activity of endothelial and stromal cells increases, and delicate fibrous connective tissue is formed.

    Notes: Abstract Magnesium ions added to fixatives for processing to Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been claimed to cause relaxation of detrusor smooth muscle cells [1]. This should facilitate the morphologic evaluation of the tissue. However, magnesium ions are osmotically active and their addition may cause the fixative to become hypertonic to the tissue. To ascertain whether the presence of magnesium ions causes significant changes compared to those found where the osmolarity is raised without the presence of magnesium, human detrusor specimens were fixed in glutaraldehyde to which increasing amounts of MgCl2 or NaCl were added in different concentrations. With the addition of increasing amounts of MgCl2 and NaCl, the osmolarity of the fixative increased, causing significant changes in the morphology and morphometry of the tissue. The intercellular distances increased, the cells shrank and the shape of the cells changed from smooth and rounded to spiky and angulated. With regard to its muscle-relaxing effect, it was not possible to distinguish the specimens fixed in magnesium-containing fixatives from those without. In this study it was not possible to prove any relaxing effect of magnesium ions added to the fixative. On the contrary the magnesium ions caused an increase in the osmolarity, with significant changes in both the morphometry and the morphology of the human detrusor smooth muscle cells.

    Notes: Abstract We report the presence of round eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions in a patient with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The inclusions were limited to the hippocampal pyramidal neurons; they were frequently encountered in the CA1 and CA2 regions and much less frequently in the CA3 and CA4 regions and in the subiculum. Ultrastructurally, they consisted of randomly oriented straight filaments, each about 8–14 nm in diameter, some of which had a tubular appearance in cross-section. Electron-dense, granular material was intermingled with the filaments. Immunohistochemically, all the inclusions were positive for ubiquitin, but were negative for several kinds of cytoskeletal protein, including actin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, neurofilament polypeptides, keratin, tubulin, tau protein and microtubule-associated protein 2. To our knowledge, this type of neuronal intranuclear inclusion has not so far been reported in ALS, and its distribution limited to the hippocampal formation is of great interest.

    Notes: Abstract Spectrin, a major component of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, has previously been shown to form a two-dimensional lattice in erythrocytes, and in avian or chicken skeletal muscle. Those results were mainly obtained with antibodies against α-spectrin. Using immunofluorescence of semithin cryosections and single muscle fiber preparations, we show here that β-spectrin forms a costameric network which covers the plasma membrane of human skeletal muscle. These spectrin costameres are correlated with the Z-bands. They are longitudinally connected by fine strands and interrupted by myonuclear lacunae. Under mechanical stretching, the costameres retained their correlation to the Z-bands in normal and dystrophin-deficient muscle, up to the point at which the sarcolemma was disrupted. In stretched muscle, in some regions of the stretched fibers in which the costameres seemed to form double strands, the usually 1:1 correlation of spectrin to the Z-bands changed to a 2:1 relation. In dystrophin-deficient muscle, the costameric scaffold of spectrin in the well-preserved fibers appeared normal, indicating that spectrin can be correctly localized in the absence of dystrophin and that the subcellular spectrin organization does not primarily depend on dystrophin expression. The regular organization and the correlation of spectrin costameres to the Z-bands was notable even in stretched Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) muscle. On the other hand, single teased muscle fibers of DMD muscle showed various degrees of morphological alterations of the costameric network, ranging from a focal disarray to complete loss of costameric organization. Because these findings indicate that the costameric spectrin scaffold undergoes secondary changes during the course of the dystrophic process in dystrophin-deficient muscle, spectrin staining of isolated muscle fibers may also serve as a tool to monitor the effect of gene therapy experiments at the single fiber level.

    Notes: Abstract The reinnervation pattern of crural pacinian corpuscles was examined by light and electron microscopy in eight adult cats of both sexes 3–18 months after sciatic nerve crush. Normal pacinian corpuscles are each supplied with a single myelinated axon and a single cylindrical axon terminal which may branch in the distal part of the inner core. Reinnervation of these vibroreceptors was very satisfactory after sciatic nerve crush: in a sample of 68 corpuscles examined 3–18 months after the operation, 92.6% were found reinnervated, while only 7.4% remained denervated. At the nerve entry, 84.2% of the reinnervated corpuscles were supplied with a single myelinated axon, while 15.8% received two myelinated axons; some of the axons branched before or after entering the inner core. Near the mid-level of the inner core, 60.3% of 63 reinnervated corpuscles were innervated with a single axon terminal, 22.2% were biterminal, while 17.5% had three or more terminals. Regenerated axon terminals induced the formation of thin lamellar layers in the axial region of the original core and, exceptionally, also at the outer aspect of the original core. In monoterminal corpuscles, the shape and ultrastructure of regenerated endings resembled those of normal controls, whereas in multiterminal corpuscles their shape and profiles were variable. In contrast to previous reports, reinnervated corpuscles did not ultimately become monoterminal. On the contrary, the mean number of 1.3 terminals found in reinnervated crural corpuscles at 3–5 months increased to 1.9 terminals per corpuscle 6–18 months after axotomy.

    Characterization of a prolonged regenerative attempt by diffusely injured axons following traumatic brain injury in adult cat: a light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical study (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Traumatic brain injury in animals and humans is well known to cause axonal damage diffusely scattered throughout the brain without evidence of other brain parenchymal change. This observation has prompted some to posit that such damaged axons are well positioned to mount a regenerative attempt. The present study uses an immunocytochemical marker specific for regenerating neurites to explore this issue. Further, in an attempt to expedite and enhance any potential regenerative effort, this study evaluates the efficacy of intrathecally applied nerve growth factor. Three sets of experiments were performed in adult cats. One group of animals was subjected to moderate fluid percussion brain injury and followed for 7 or 14 days post injury, with the continuous intraventricular infusion of nerve growth factor delivered by implanted osmotic pumps. These animals were compared to a second group of time-matched, sham-operated animals receiving artificial cerebrospinal fluid infusion. To assess axonal damage immunohistochemical staining for the low molecular weight neurofilament subunit (NF-L) was carried out using an NR4 monoclonal antibody. To localize axons exhibiting a regenerative response immunohistochemical staining for the growth associated protein GAP43 was employed. In sham controls, at the light microscopic level NF-L-immunoreactive axonal swellings were numerous at 7 days, but by 14 days post injury their frequency declined markedly. In contrast, GAP43-immunoreactive, disconnected reactive axonal swellings were rarely observed at 7 days but were numerous at 14 days. Ultrastructural analysis at 14 days post injury of carefully matched sections revealed reactive axons demonstrating sprouting consistent with a regenerative effort. Analysis of tissue from animals of 14 days of survival indicated that supplementation with nerve growth factor did not appear to enhance the capacity of damaged brain axons to mount a regenerative attempt. Rather, it appears that regenerative efforts seen reflect a spontaneous response. A third group of adult cats, subjected to the same injury but not subjected to osmotic pump implantation, was allowed to survive for 22–28 days. Animals in this group also demonstrated GAP43 immunoreactivity in reactive axonal swellings in the brain stem. This study demonstrates that diffusely injured axons can mount a sustained regenerative attempt that is associated with a reorganization of their cytoskeleton and accompanied by an up-regulation of growth-associated proteins.

    Notes: Abstract  Human natural killer (NK) cells contain unique granules with parallel tubular arrays (PTA granules) of approximately 30 nm diameter that can be seen only by electron microscopy. In order to clarify the role of PTA granules in NK cell-mediated cytolysis we examined these structures with regard to frequency and expression of lytic proteins (perforin, granzymes). NK cells (CD3−, CD16+, CD56+) were obtained from heparinized blood of healthy donors and enriched by double-step negative selection using mAb coupled to magnetic beads. PTA granules were found in 31.3% of freshly separated NK cells. When NK cells were cultivated, even in the presence of various stimulating agents (rhIL-2, rhIL-4, rhIL-6, rhIL-12, GM-CSF, rhIFNα, anti-CD16 mAb, dexamethasone), PTA granules disappeared and transformed into conventional primary lysosomes. By immune electron microscopy using antibodies directed against perforin and granzyme B we observed distinct immuno-reactivity in the tubules and in the tubule-associated faintly electron-dense matrix of PTA granules. Immuno-labelling for perforin and granzyme B was also found in the fine granular matrix of primary lysosomes. Finally, we tested the distribution of chondroitin 4-sulfate which is suggested to inactivate lytic proteins. Immuno-reactivity for chondroitin 4-sulfate was detected only in the moderately electron-dense matrix but not in the tubules of PTA granules. These observations indicate that perforin and granzyme B are stored in an inactive form in PTA tubules due to highly ordered paracrystalline protein folding. As soon as the tubules decay the lytic proteins are kept in an environment of chondroitin 4-sulfate for inactivation.

    Notes: Abstract Intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies are rarely found in meningiomas. A 74-year-old woman had an anaplastic meningioma with intracytoplasmic chromophobe inclusion bodies (CIB) histologically. These CIB were various shapes, e.g. round, teardrop-like, fusiform, horseshoe-like, crescentic and perinuclear. The size of CIB ranged from 7 to 14 μm and the nuclei of the tumor cells with CIB were often eccentric. Most CIB were immunopositive only for vimentin, staining more intensely than surrounding cytoplasm in a comparative study using adjacent sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin and vimentin. CIB showed loosely textured filamentous structures which were in parallel and entangled arrangements ultrastructurally. The diameter of the filaments was 13–14 nm and they were thicker than normal intermediate filaments. Moreover, these filaments appeared to be studded with granular and fuzzy substances. These findings suggest that CIB are mainly composed of abnormally synthesized and arranged vimentin filaments.

    Notes: Abstract Prolonged hypoxia results in structural and functional adaptive responses to improve tissue oxygen delivery. Structural changes within the brain include vascular proliferation and elongation. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether ultrastructural changes in capillary walls also occur as part of the adaptive response. Adult rats were exposed to 2 or 3 weeks of moderate hypobaric hypoxia at 0.5 atmospheres and their cerebral microvasculature examined using quantitative ultrastructural methods. We found that hypoxic rats had an 18% increase in their brain capillary diameter but no change in endothelial wall thickness, basement membrane thickness, or coverage of the endothelial wall by pericytes. The increased diameter of cerebral capillaries may play an important role in decreasing the resistance to capillary perfusion which is brought about by the increased erythrocyte fraction in the blood of hypoxic rats. Ultrastructural features relevant to the blood-brain barrier were maintained in hypoxic rats. Pericytes, that are thought to form a second line of defense in the blood-brain barrier, maintained their numerical and size relationships to the endothelial cells. Endothelial junctions were unchanged and endothelial vesicles were somewhat lower in density than normal at 2 weeks of hypoxia, but had regained their normal density by 3 weeks. Mitochondria of the brain capillary endothelial cells maintained normal numerical and volume densities in hypoxia, but the mitochondria of the surrounding neuropil were decreased significantly by about 30%.

    Notes: Abstract To clarify the histogenesis and differentiation potential of central neurocytoma, a pathological investigation of seven tumors from three patients was conducted using immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural analysis in addition to systematic in vitro studies. Six tumors were studied immunohistochemically and five were examined ultrastructurally. All cases that were immunostained were positive for synaptophysin in nuclear-free neuropil islands. In five tumors, a few tumor cells, in addition to reactive astrocytes, were positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Vimentin staining was also positive in a few tumor cells of five specimens. Neurofilament staining was always negative. All cases for which ultrastructure was examined showed various synaptic abnormalities. Cultured cells were subdivided into three distinct tumor cell types: neuronal cells which stained for neurofilament proteins with neurosecretory granules; small flat undifferentiated cells with a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and scant cytoplasmic organelles; and small round or multipolar astrocytic cells with 10-nm intermediate filaments which stained for GFAP. Our tissue culture studies disclosed that cultured neurocytoma cells form a cellular mosaic similar to subependymal plate layers that are composed of mitotically active cells, neurons and glia.

    Notes: Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis IIID (MPS-IIID) is the rarest of the MPS-III syndromes. It is caused by deficient activity of lysosomal N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (G6S). To date, the clinical and biochemical features of seven patients with MPS-IIID have been reported, but no biopsy or autopsy findings have been described. The purpose of this report is to define the ultrastructure of affected cells seen in a skin biopsy from a 14-year-old boy. The child presented with progressive mental deterioration, hyperactivity and mild to moderate dysmorphism. The diagnosis of a mucopolysaccharidosis was suggested, but the initial urine analyses were negative for elevated mucopolysaccharides, and only the third analysis showed abnormal excretion of heparan sulfate. Because of the diagnostic difficulties posed by this case, a skin biopsy was performed for morphological and biochemical studies. Numerous vacuoles were noted in Schwann cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, eccrine gland and ductal epithelium in resin-embedded sections stained with toluidine blue. Ultrastructurally, many lysosomes were distended with abundant, fibrillar material. Occasionally, lamellated membranous structures were present within the same lysosomes. These findings are consistent with those seen in other forms of MPS, in which the lysosomal storage occurs predominantly, but not exclusively, in mesenchymal cells. Furthermore, deficient activity of G6S was confirmed in cultured skin fibroblasts. This study demonstrates that electron microscopy of skin biopsies is a useful method for identification of patients with clinical features of MPS-IIID whether or not heparan sulfaturia is present.

    Notes: Abstract We studied a recurrent meningioma located in the right frontal lobe. The tumor showed high cellularity and the cells had plump, hyalinous cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, almost all the tumor cells were positive for epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin, and unexpectedly, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Ultrastructural investigation revealed abundant 8- to 10-nm filaments in the cytoplasm. Conspicuous interdigitations with numerous desmosomes were present. Frequently, intracellular and intercellular lumina lined by microvilli were also found. We considered the present case to be an unusual variant of meningioma with GFAP expression. A few cases of meningioma with triple expression of GFAP, vimentin and cytokeratin have been reported previously. However, the present case showed obvious pathological differences from these, and had no immunoreactivity for cytokeratin.

    Notes: Abstract The locus coeruleus (LC) is a major noradrenergic nucleus in the brain. The activity of the LC neurons is chronically regulated by opioids. So far, very little is known about the morphological changes induced by chronic treatment with opioids. In the present study, the effects of chronic treatment with morphine and dihydroetorphine, a new narcotic analgesic with lower physical dependence potential than morphine, were investigated on the ultrastructure of the rat LC. Rats received saline or increasing doses of morphine or dihydroetorphine for 5 days by twice daily subcutaneous injections. Withdrawal was precipitated in half of the opioid-treated rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of naloxone 4 h after the last injections of opioids. The ultrastructure of the LC was examined by electron microscopy. Results showed that chronic morphine treatment induced a marked injury to the LC neurons. The primary changes in the cell body were the indentation of nuclei, the fragmentation and degranulation of rough endoplasmic reticulum, as well as the disaggregation of polyribosomes. Myelinoid bodies were seen in the processes. An accumulation of presynaptic vesicles was observed in some of the terminals which formed synaptic junctions with the LC neurons as compared to the normal controls. Naloxone-precipitated withdrawal from morphine did not stop the morphine-induced injury on the LC neurons except that less accumulation of presynaptic vesicles occurred. Chronic dihydroetorphine treatment only induced a slight change in the ultrastructure of the LC neurons. These results indicate that the LC neurons are more vulnerable to chronic treatment with morphine than to that with dihydroetorphine.

    Notes: Abstract This report concerns a comparative immunocytochemical and ultrastructural investigation on pericapillary rosettes (PR) in the lumbar spinal cords of 21 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 18 age-matched neurologically normal individuals. The purpose of the study was to determine the alteration of PR in relation to the neuronal loss in ALS. The PR were almost always positively immunostained for phosphorylated neurofilament, and some PR immunoreacted with antibodies to synaptophysin and β-amyloid precursor protein. This finding suggests that axonal transport, whether fast or slow, is impaired in the terminal portion of the axon that reaches the capillaries. Some PR were also positively immunostained by the antibody against ubiquitin, anti-calbindin-D 28 K antibody, anti-parvalbumin antibody and the antibody to superoxide dismutase 1. Morphometrically, the number of PR in the anterior horns and lateral column was markedly diminished in ALS compared with controls. At the ultrastructural level, the PR consisted mostly of unmyelinated degenerated axons, and were frequently found outside the basal laminae of the endothelial cell and of the astrocytic foot processes on the opposite side of the capillary, and less often in the space between the two basal laminae. The data indicate that the fate of PR is intimately associated with the neuronal loss of the anterior horn cells and with degenerative change of nerve fibers extending from their mother neurons to the capillaries.

    Notes: Abstract  The purpose of this study was to compare the biomineralization of circumpulpal dentine with that of mantle dentine by ultrastructural and element-analytical techniques. Forty upper second molar germs of 10-day-old albino rats were cryofixed in liquid nitrogen-cooled propane and embedded in resin after freeze drying. Semithin dry sections were cut for analyzing the calcium and phosphorus concentration in initial mantle dentine, at the mineralization front of circumpulpal dentine, in the middle region of circumpulpal dentine and in mantle dentine peripheral to circumpulpal dentine. For the morphological evaluation of mineral deposits we compared ultrathin and unstained sections of cryofixed molars with chemically fixed molars. For both dentine types it was found that they develop via identical steps of mineral formation at collagen fibrils and non-collagenous matrix molecules. In circumpulpal dentine no globular mineral protrusions along the mineralization front (i.e. calcospherites) and no indications of interglobular dentine at the transition from circumpulpal dentine to mantle dentine were present. The von Korff fibres were not only visible in mantle dentine but also in circumpulpal dentine. Matrix vesicles were present only during the formation of an initial coherent layer of mantle dentine and could not be observed during successive formation of mantle dentine and circumpulpal dentine. The element-analytical data did not demonstrate any difference in the mineral content between the two dentine types. Therefore, we conclude that mantle dentine and circumpulpal dentine in the rat molar possess a high degree of structural and chemical similarity and that only the extent of terminal branching of the odontoblast processes gives an approximate estimation of the thickness of mantle dentine.

    Notes: Abstract  Herbst corpuscles were studied in the crural region of perinatal and adult chicken and quail in order to find out their number and dimensions and to learn more about their structure, especially in relation to size. Crural corpuscles are arrayed in an encapsulated string between tibia and fibula. They are closely packed together; a small number of corpuscles is found apart from the string, often attached to the periost. The strings of corpuscles are approximately 40 mm long in adult chicken and 20 mm long in the quail. The crural region of the chicken contains 382.8 ± 90.9 (mean ± SD) corpuscles, the numbers ranging from 301 to 582; in the quail, the mean number is 119.2 ± 27.9, with a range from 83 to 167 corpuscles. In the chicken, one axon supplies an average of 1.60 corpuscles; in the quail, the relation of axons to corpuscles is approximately 0.92. In both species, final numbers of crural corpuscles are already attained before hatching and no difference is found in the mean number and range of corpuscles between perinatal and adult birds. In both chicken and quail, individual strings contain corpuscles of various sizes, from large to very small. The chicken corpuscles are generally twice as large in diameter and often longer than those of the quail. The corpuscles are composed of an axon terminal that projects two rows of axonal spines into the clefts of the inner core and ends with an ultraterminal bulb; the terminal is surrounded with a bilaterally symmetrical inner core, amorphous inner space containing collagen fibrils of various thickness, and a capsule. Large chicken corpuscles contain inner cores composed of up to 100 lamellae, while quail inner cores have half that number at the most. The capsules are usually composed of 8 to 10 lamellar layers in both species, but they are thicker in the chicken than in the quail. The possible functional significance of individual structural components of Herbst corpuscles is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Electron microscopy combined with morphometry was used to establish values for 24 parameters in normal skin. These results were compared with those similarly obtained from samples of epidermolysis bullosa with a view to facilitating classification of the disease. Six of the eight subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa investigated could be differentiated. Four subtypes showed values for structural components in intact skin which were outside the normal range: (1) epidermolysis bullosa simplex generalisata gravis (hemidesmosomes); (2) epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica Pasini and (3) Cockayne-Touraine (anchoring fibrils); and (4) epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (anchoring fibrils, hemidesmosomes, and lamina lucida and lamina densa aspects of the dermoepidermal junction). Two subtypes revealed specific features which could be assessed qualitatively: distinctive, circumscribed, clumped tonofilament bodies were present in basal keratinocytes from epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis Dowling-Meara and thick (30 nm diameter) cross-striated anchoring fibrils were absent in epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica generalisata gravis. Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Köbner and Weber-Cockayne forms could not be distinguished.

    Waxy corn starch affecting texture and ultrastructure of sardine surimi gels (1997)

    Notes: Abstract  The effect of waxy corn starch (WCS) on the texture, water-holding capacity and microstructure of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) surimi gels in two different systems was studied. In the type A system, increasing amounts of WCS (2, 4, 6 or 8 g/100 g surimi) were added to surimi while maintaining the gel moisture constant at 78%; in the type B system, WCS was added without correcting the gel moisture. Gels were made using two different heat treatments [heat-induced setting (HS) and direct cooking (DC)]. When starch was replaced by surimi (type A) and a heat treatment was applied that favoured formation of a preliminary actomyosin (AM) network (i.e. HS), gel strength (GS) was lower than in the control and decreased as more starch was added, despite an increase in the amount of water held by the gel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the matrix network was fibrillar with a globular surface. Starch appeared to be totally gelatinized and surrounded by a continuous matrix. When the amount of dry matter in gels was increased (type B), in no case did starch have a reinforcing effect, despite an increasing water-holding capacity; SEM showed a denser continuous matrix surrounding the gelatinized starch. Both types of gel made using the heat treatment that allows simultaneous gelling of surimi and gelatinization of starch (i.e. DC) exhibited much poorer GS than did HS gels, while addition of starch made practically no difference to gel texture. The findings suggest that the effect of starch is related to the type of gel matrix that forms upon addition of ingredients. Although such gels contained more water or dry matter, their texture parameters were lower, possibly because of the type of network formed by sardine surimi. Nonetheless, gels of acceptable quality were successfully made with added starch by incorporating less surimi.

    Notes: Abstract  Asplenium trichomanes L. subsp. trichomanes spermatozoids are spirals of about five turns. Keels link the elements of the microtubular ribbon with the plates of the lamellar layer (LL) which are uninterrupted, parallel and curved with an inner angle of about 150°. Electron-opaque filaments connect the microtubules of the multilayered structure (MLS) and the osmiophilic crest, the LL and the MLS-associated mitochondrion and the latter and the plasmalemma. The nucleus occupies the 2.5–3 posterior turns and has an inner honeycomb-shaped chromatin mass and an outer highly condensed chromatin mass with randomly scattered electron-transparent areas. The basal bodies of the ca. 50 flagella are bounded by a reticulum of granular material which forms a plug inside their proximal region; the proximal region of the flagellum has a 9 + 0 pattern. The axoneme has a 9 + 2 pattern.

    Notes: Abstract  A protocol for isolating viable eggs in Plumbago zeylanica by mechanical dissection is reported. The optimum solution for isolation was 0.8 M mannitol + 10 mM MOPS + 10 mM CaCl2, (pH 4.5–5.0) with an osmolality of 860–940 mmol/kg. Eggs retain their viability for at least 24 h. Isolated eggs were true protoplasts without cell walls and could tolerate osmolality of 437 mmol/kg to 965 mmol/kg. Observation of the isolated eggs using transmission electron microscopy indicated that they were well preserved and reflected the ultrastructure of physiologically active cells, displaying features similar to those of in vivo egg cells. Notable differences include the absence of a filiform apparatus and the accumulation of dense particles in the plastids, which was most conspicuous in egg cells that were damaged during isolation.

    Notes: Abstract Female Wistar rats were treated orally for 5 days with 80 mg/kg body weight of 2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (DTBHQ), a microsomal Ca2+ ATPase inhibitor. Motor endplates of the lumbrical muscles were examined by light and electron microscopy. There was a decrease in body weight in the treated rats from the first day after administration, and toxic signs appeared after the third day, such as adoption of a prone position, salivation, lacrymation, and an abnormal gait and/or muscle weakness. No remarkable macroscopic or light microscopic changes were noted in the lumbrical muscles as well as other peripheral nerves of hind legs of the treated rats killed 1 day after the last DTBHQ treatment. Ultrastructurally, neurotoxicity characterized by loss of synaptic vesicles and mitochondria in the motor endplates, and by destruction of the motor terminals was detected in the lumbrical muscles of the treated rats. These results strongly indicate that DTBHQ targets the motor endplates in the rat lumbrical muscles and suggest that the resultant damage is responsible for the appearance of neurological signs, such as an abnormal gait and loss of muscle control.

    Notes: Abstract  Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) was grown in a CD4+ lymphoblastic cell line (SupT1) and in cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC). Virus infection was demonstrated by immunohistology with positive control sera, with monoclonal antibodies and by in situ hybridization for viral DNA. Cytopathic effects following HHV-7 infection generally resemble those after HHV-6 infection but are less pronounced. The ultrastructural appearance of HHV-7 and the replicative stages were similar to those described by Kramarsky and Sander for HHV-6. There were some minor discrepancies, including quite an extensive and space-filling tegument, a slightly different structure of the nucleoid, the frequent finding of nucleocapsids without any visible core and apparently scarce or delicate spikes on the envelope. These differences may suggest HHV-7 rather than HHV-6, but this finding needs confirmation. Mature HHV-7 particles measured 170 nm in diameter, with nucleocapsids of 90–95 nm and a tegument of about 30 nm.

    Notes: Abstract  The ECL cells are histamine- and peptide hormone-producing endocrine cells in the rat oxyntic mucosa. They are rich in secretory vesicles and also contain microvesicles and electron-dense granules. They operate under the control of circulating gastrin. In the present study, we examined the ECL-cell ultrastructure after long term treatment with omeprazole, which is known to induce hypergastrinemia, and after withdrawal of the drug. Rats received omeprazole (400 µmol/kg per day, orally) for 16 days and were killed 1, 5, 20, or 40 days after the last dose of the drug. Oxyntic mucosal specimens were processed for electron microscopy. Electron micrographs of ECL-cell profiles were analyzed planimetrically. The ECL-cell profile area increased promptly in response to omeprazole, the secretory vesicles and granules were reduced in number and volume density, the microvesicles were unchanged in number but reduced in volume density, and vacuoles appeared. Within a week after stopping the omeprazole treatment, the numbers and volume densities of secretory vesicles and microvesicles returned to pre-stimulation values. Also, the vacuoles disappeared promptly. The ECL-cell profile area decreased below the pre-stimulation level within five days after stopping treatment, while, in contrast, the granules increased in number and volume density. Somewhat surprisingly, the cell size and the granule compartment did not return to normal until 40 days after stopping treatment.

    Notes: Abstract. In order to capture the exocytotic figures of gastrin cells in the pyloric antrum of the stomach, we examined antral cells of the mouse, rat, and guinea pig by electron microscopy following stimulation with the cholinergic secretagogue carbamylcholine. Increased numbers of omega profiles indicative of exocytosis were seen in the basal or lateral cell membrane after stimulation with carbamylcholine. The number of exocytotic figures in stimulated gastrin cells was higher in the guinea pig than in the mouse and rat. Coated and non-coated omega profiles and coated pits in the plasma membrane were smaller than the secretory granules. Omega profiles with or without electron-dense contents were seen. Coated and non-coated vesicles were often visible near the plasma membrane of stimulated gastrin cells in all three species, large cytoplasmic vacuoles also being found in the guinea pig. In the mouse pretreated with horseradish peroxidase, reaction deposits were observed in the omega profiles and in microvesicles near the plasma membrane. These results suggest that, after exocytosis, membrane retrieval and endocytosis occur in the gastrin cells.

    Notes: Abstract. Striated rootlets in ciliated cells are conical banded structures composed of longitudinally aligned filaments. The formation of striated rootlets during ciliognesis in the human oviduct epithelium was studied by electron microscopy. Primitive rootlets appeared at the proximal side of basal bodies before or at the same time as ciliary budding. After the formation of several striations, the tip of the rootlets extended deeply toward the interior of the cell and became differentiated into two distinct parts, viz., the proximal conical part connected to the basal body and the distal fibrillar part. The periodicity of the striations in the fibrillar part was 68.5±2.95 nm, about 5 nm longer than that of the conical part (63.9±2.25 nm). The dark band in the striation was thicker in the fibrillar part than in the conical part. Since the fibrillar part was not observed in the mature cilium, this part was considered as being either degraded or changed into the conical part during ciliogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract. The subcellular localization of PECAM-1 in endothelial cells was examined by using advanced morphological techniques, such as confocal scanning microscopy and immunolabeling procedures for electron microscopy. The localization of PECAM-1 was studied immunohistochemically with five specific monoclonal antibodies and one polyclonal antibody (all anti-human) in human and rabbit myocardium and in isolated endothelial cells. In vivo, PECAM-1 was localized uniformly on the plasma membrane of all vascular endothelial cells, predominantly on the luminal side of vessels. No specific increase in labeling was found at sites of cell-to-cell contact. In vitro, primary isolated cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) showed continuous labeling of the entire cell membrane. Cells of higher passages were labeled in a manner similar to freshly isolated cells. Our findings refute the commonly accepted hypothesis that PECAM-1 is localized only at cell-to-cell contacts. Further, we have not been able to confirm the hypothesis regarding the important mechanical role of PECAM-1 in stabilizing the endothelial monolayer. Since PECAM-1 is also expressed on platelets and is known to bind to itself, the way in which PECAM-1-positive endothelial cells are protected against binding of PECAM-1-positive platelets remains unclear. In view of these findings, the role of PECAM-1 in the leukocyte migration cascade needs to be re-evaluated.

    Notes: Abstract . This paper presents the first description of peroxisomes in polyplacophorans. As in other molluscs, the hepatopancreas of chitons is composed of basophilic and digestive cells. In the basophilic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum is abundant and several Golgi stacks can be observed. These cells also possess secretion granules and vacuoles with spherites. The digestive cells are mainly characterized by the presence of many food vacuoles. Several peroxisomes were observed in the basophilic cells of Acanthochiton crinita, most of them almost spherical. The matrix is filled with tubular structures and a crystalline nucleoid is also present in these organelles. In the digestive cells of A. crinita, peroxisomes are also almost spherical and possess two kinds of nucleoids. One of them presents a diamond shape and a bundle of tubular structures forms a second kind of nucleoid, which shows an elongated form. In Lepidochitona cinerea, the peroxisomes of basophilic cells are spherical or oval. Within the matrix, a cluster of dense rods and a prismatic nucleoid were observed. In the digestive cells of this species, almost spherical or oval peroxisomes are common, but they are smaller than the peroxisomes of the preceding cells. Nucleoids were not detected, but a few dense rods could be observed in the matrix. In both cell types of the two species, catalase activity was detected in the peroxisomal matrix. In addition, the elongated nucleoid of A. crinita digestive-cell peroxisomes and the nucleoid of L. cinerea basophilic-cell peroxisomes also present catalase activity.

    Notes: Abstract. The mucosal surface area of the chicken duodenum, jejunum, and ileum was determined during development (from 1-day to 12-week-old animals). The morphometric analysis was performed at three magnification levels. The nominal (serosal) surface area was determined at the macroscopic level, from intestinal length and perimeter. Villus and microvillus amplification factors were estimated at light-microscopic and transmission electron-microscopic levels, respectively. The results show, during the period considered: (1) a similar increase in nominal surface area for the three segments (6.5 to 7.2-fold), (2) a rise followed by a slight decrease in the villus amplification factor in the third week of age in the duodenum, a two-fold increase of this variable in the jejunum and no significant developmental variations in the ileum, (3) an increase in the microvillus amplification factor of 1.5-fold in the duodenum and jejunum and of 1.2-fold in the ileum, although a pronounced decrease in the first week of age was observed in the three segments. In conclusion, total mucosal surface area increased, from 1 day to 12 week, 12- to 13-fold in the duodenum and ileum and 20-fold in the jejunum.

    Notes: Abstract. The apical cytoplasm of several absorbing epithelia contains well-developed apical tubules (AT) which contribute to membrane recycling from endocytic vacuoles to the apical cell membrane. In this study, we examined three-dimensional structures of the AT in rat kidney proximal tubule cells by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In thin sections, the AT appeared as straight tubules with a rather constant diameter (70–90 nm), but others were curved and, occasionally, branching. No AT were labeled with the marker for the external cell surface (ruthenium red) or exhibited histochemical enzyme activity for lysosomal hydrolase (acid phosphatase). After intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase, it was absorbed in the kidney proximal tubule cells and the AT were labeled with HRP reaction products. Stereo-viewing of the labeled AT in thick sections revealed that they formed an interconnected tubular network. Scanning electron microscopy allowed a three-dimensional view of the AT, in which a network of branching and anastomosing tubules was revealed. These observations indicate that the AT are intracellular endosomal compartments which form an extensive tubular network in the apical cytoplasm. The possibility that this apical tubular network serves as a large membrane store for membrane recycling is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Trichodesmium is the first described example of a filamentous cyanobacterium without heterocysts that contains cells specialised for nitrogen fixation. The ultrastructure of cells with and without nitrogenase were compared using primarilyTrichodesmium tenue Wille, but alsoT. thiebautii Gomont andT. erythraeum Ehrenberg et Gomont. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the cytoplasm of certain cells was densely labelled with antibodies against Fe-protein (dinitrogenase reductase). Comparative TEM-image analysis revealed that these cells were also distinguished by a denser thylakoid network, dividing the vacuole-like space into smaller units. The nitrogenase-containing cells also exhibited less extensive gas vacuoles as well as fewer and smaller cyanophycin granules compared to cells which lacked nitrogenase. Carboxysomes were present in both cell types in equal proportion. Longitudinal sections showed that cells with nitrogenase were arranged adjacent to each other, and that groups of cells with and without nitrogenase may coexist in the same trichome. The correlation between modifications in ultrastructure and the presence of nitrogenase suggests a new type of cyanobacterial cell specialisation related to nitrogen fixation. The results obtained also question the systematic affiliation of the genusTrichodesmium.

    Notes: Summary Basic proteins ofBlastocystis hominis were detected by the ammoniacal silver and ethanolic phosphotungstic acid techniques using electron microscopy. The central vacuole showed many silver grains when treated with ammoniacal silver and an increased electron density when treated with phosphotungstic acid. The intensity of positive reactions correlated with the electron density of the central vacuole, because cells having an electron-lucent central vacuole showed no silver grain deposits. Since it is known that the concentration of electron-dense materials in the central vacuole increases during log phase of growth, and then decreases in stationary phase, this organelle must accumulate basic proteins during cell growth.

    Notes: Abstract Exposure of postmitotic growing and non-growing cells of the unicellular green alga Micrasterias denticulata to different UV-B cut-off wavelengths together with simulated sunlight in a sun simulator has revealed a marked resistence of the algae against strong irradiation. While down to a cut-off wavelength of 284 nm irradiated during the most sensitive stage of cell development chloroplast ultrastructure remains unaffected, severe changes in arrangement and structure of stroma and grana thylakoids occur only at the lowest cut-off wavelengths of 280 and 275 nm. The structural alterations end up in a more or less complete desintegration of grana and stroma thylakoids with the remaining membraneous structures appearing in negative staining thus indicating drastic changes in membrane composition. Photosynthetic activity determined by chlorophyll fluorescence (ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence) and oxygen evolution responded more sensitively to UV-B irradiation. With decreasing UV cut-off wavelengths and prolonged incubation a decrease of photochemistry of PS II occured reaching its lowest values after 60 min at 275 and 280 nm. Oxygen production was even maintained under strong UV irradiation with a cut-off wavelenght of 275 nm up to 15 min. With prolonged UV-B treatment any activity was lost. HPLC separations of pigments exhibited the appearance of break-down products (mainly derivatives of chl b and chl a) with decreasing cut-off wavelength and increasing exposure time. The xanthophyll cycle pigments seemed to be unaffected at least for an irradiation period of 60 to 90 min at low UV cut-offs. Possible mechanisms of UV stress avoidance or protection are discussed with regard to the varying altitudes of the natural habitats of the algae.

    Notes: Abstract We have examined with transmission electron microscopythe epithelial layer exposed to the rhynchocoel fluidof the proboscis in the heteronemertine Riseriellus occultus. This epithelium is organized asa monociliated, pseudostratified myoepitheliumconsisting of two cell types: apically situatedmonociliated supportive cells and subapical myocyteslacking cilia. The low supportive cells form acontinuous adluminal sheet and reach with numerouscytoplasmic processes into the extracellular matrix;these cells are characterized by numerous, irregularlyshaped, apical folds projecting into the rhynchocoelfluid, delimiting broad extracellular spaces. Theauthors suppose that both apical and basal folds couldaccommodate stretching of the endothelium when theproboscis is everted. The apical folds of thesupportive cells increase the interface of these withthe rhynchocoel fluid; this feature, together with thepresence of pinocytotic vesicles in such cells,suggest that they could be involved in the exchange ofsubstances between the rhynchocoel fluid and theproboscis. The myocytes are scattered singly withinthe monociliated pseudostratified myoepithelium. Theyare situated between the supportive cells and thesubjacent extracellular matrix. Basement membraneseparating both cells types is lacking. Myofibrillarparts protrude basally from the myocyte somata. Themyofibrillar parts lie in direct apposition to theextracellular matrix, and are oriented circular to thelongitudinal axis of the proboscis. We consider themyocytes to be intra-epithelial, myoepithelial cells.

    Notes: Abstract Twenty-eight cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma were studied immunohistochemically for cytoskeletal phenotyping of stromal cells. Electron microscopy was also used to study the ultrastructure of five of the tumors. All typical stromal cells showed intensive immunostaining for vimentin, but were negative for smooth muscle actin and desmin. Ultrastructurally, most of these cells appeared to be exclusively fibroblasts. However, in some areas stromal cells were seen that morphologically resembled myofibroblasts by their shapes and arrangement, and were characterized by the coexpression of vimentin and smooth muscle actin. Electron microscopy confirmed their myofibroblastic nature. The present study showed that the typical stromal cells in nasopharyngeal angiofibromas were fibroblasts and not myofibroblasts. In these tumors myofibroblasts occurred only focally, in connection with fibrotic areas and exclusively as a vimentin+/actin+ cytoskeletal phenotype. This indicates that myofibroblasts are not primary stromal tumor cells in nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, but occur due to regressive changes.

    Notes: Abstract The ultrastructural morphology of the interface region between the stria vascularis (SV) and spiral ligament (SL) was examined in the neonatal rat cochlea via transmission electron microscopy. At postnatal day (PND) 3, morphology of both basal cells and fibrocytes was simple and immature. Only a small number of fibrocytes was observed in the SL. Intercellular junctions between basal cells and fibrocytes, and between adjacent fibrocytes, were few. At PND 7, the number of fibrocytes increased, and more organelles appeared within their cytoplasm. From PND 11 to 14, nuclei of the basal cells appeared to be more spindle-shaped and contained more heterochromatin. The cytoplasm of the fibrocytes was pale, and a greater number of cytoplasmic vesicles and mitochondria emerged. More intercellular junctions were observed between basal cells and fibrocytes at the interface region and between fibrocytes in the SL. By PND 21, the morphology of basal cells and fibrocytes and their intercellular junctionsappeared to be adult-like. These morphological observations correlate with previous reports on the functional maturation of the developing rat cochlea.

    Notes: Two new enantioselective syntheses of the naphthopyranquinone antibiotic frenolicin B (1), of its enantiomer 2, and of its diastereoisomers 3 and 4 were accomplished using two different routes from optically active β-Hydroxy esters (R)- and (S)-11 and 18. β-Hydroxy esters (R)- and (S)-11 were prepared stereoselectively from optically active sulfenylacetates (S)- and (R)-10, respectively (Scheme 2, Method A). Alternatively, compound 18 was obtained in excellent yield by enantioselective hydrogenation of the corresponding β-keto ester 17, using a chiral ruthenium-complex catalyst (Scheme 3, Method B). Subsequently, compounds (S)-11 and 18 were transformed into frenolicin B (1). In analogy, Stereoisomers 2-4 were prepared from (S)- and (R)-11 in good yields.

    Notes: The 2′-deoxyisoguanosine phosphonates 3a and 4a and the phosphoramidites 3b and 4b were prepared as building blocks for solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The diphenylcarbamoyl (dpc) residue was introduced as 2-oxo protecting group which stabilizes the N-glycosylic bond against hydrolysis and prevents the molecule from side reactions. The dpc-protected building blocks 4a, b were employed in solid-phase synthesis and were found to be much more efficient than the unprotected compounds 3a, b. Oligonucleotides with alternating (11) or consecutive isoguanine residues (13-15) were synthesized. They form duplexes with parallel chain orientation. The aggregate d(T4-iG4-T4) (15) containing four consecutive 2′-deoxyisoguanosine is shown to be a tetramer similar to that of d(T4-G4-T4).

    Notes: Khusimone (1), one of the main odor-donating compounds of vetiver oil is subject of the following study on structure/odor relationship. The omittance of the ethano bridge of the tricyclic khusimone leads to a bicyclic system. The stereoselective approach to this degraded structure is described, and the olfactory properties are studied. The key step of the synthesis of the hydrindane nucleus is based on a highly diastereoselective conjugate addition to a chiral oxo-cyclopentene-2-carboxylate.

    Notes: The (2-dansylethoxy)carbonyl (= {2-{[5-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-l-yl]sulfonyl}ethoxy}carbonyl; dnseoc) group was employed for protection of the amino functions of the aglycone residues. The lactam function of 2′-deoxyguanosine was on the one hand unprotected and on the other hand alkylated at O6 of the aglycone with the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) and 2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl (pse) group, respectively. The syntheses of monomeric building blocks, both phosphoramidites and nucleoside- functionalized supports, are described for the three common 2′-deoxynucleosides (2′-deoxycytidine, 2′-deoxyadenosine, 2′-deoxyguanosine). As kinetic studies with the tritylated nucleosides showed, the dnseoc group is more labile towards DBU cleavage than the corresponding 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl-(npe) and [2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxy]carbonyl(npeoc)-protected analogues (see Table 2). These results were confirmed by the very fast deprotection rate of the dnseoc groups at some oligonucleotides.

    Notes: The synthesis of π-substituted heptalenecarboxylates or -dicarboxylates, starting with the easily available dimethyl 9-isopropyl-1, 6-dimethylheptalene-4, 5-dicarboxylate (2b), are described. Treatment of 2b with t-BuOK and C2Cl6 at -78° leads to the chemoselective introduction of a Cl substituent in Me-C(1) (see 5b in Scheme 1). Formation of the corresponding triphenylphosphonium salt 7b via the iodide 6b (Scheme 2) allowed a Wittig reaction with cinnamaldehyde in the two-phase system CH2Cl2/2N NaOH. Transformation of the 4, 5-dicar-boxylate of 2b into the corresponding pseudo-ester 10b allowed the selective reduction of the carbonyl function at C(4) with DIBAH to yield the corresponding 4-carbaldehyde 11b (Scheme 3). Wittig reaction of 11b with (benzyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide led to the introduction of the 4-phenylbuta-1, 3-dienyl substituent at C(4). The combination of both Wittig reactions led to the synthesis of the 1, 4-bis(4-phenylbuta-1, 3-dienyl)-substituted heptalene-5-carboxylate (all-E)-17b (Scheme 5). In a similar manner, by applying a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, followed by the Wittig reaction, the donor-acceptor substituted heptalene-5-carboxylate (E;E)-22b was synthesized (Scheme7). Most of these new heptalenes are in solution, at room temperature, in thermal equilibrium with their double-bond shifted (DBS) isomers. In the case of (all-E)-17b and (E;E)-22b, irradiation of the thermal equilibrium mixture with light of λ -(439 ± 10) nm led to a strong preponderance ( 〉 90%) of the DBS isomers 17a and (E;E)-22a, respectively (Schemes 6 and 7). Heating of the photo-mixtures at 40° re-established quickly the thermal equilibrium mixtures. Heptalenes-carboxylates (all-E)-17a and (E;E)-22a which represent the off-state of a 1,4-conjugative switch (CS) system show typical heptalene UV/VIS spectra with a bathochromically shifted heptalene band III and comparably weak heptalene bands II and I which appear only as shoulders (Figs. 4 and 5). In contrast, the DBS isomers (all-E)-17b and (all-E)-22b, equivalent to the on-state of a 1,4-CS system, exhibit extremely intense heptalene bands I and, possibly, II which appear as a broad absorption band at 440 and 445 nm, respectively, thus indicating that the CSs (all-E)-17a⇌(all-E)-17b and (E;E)-22a⇌(E;E)-22b are perfectly working.

    Notes: Configurational and Conformational Isomeric Antiaromatic [28]Tetraoxaporphyrinoids(4.2.4.2) and Aromatic [26]Tetraoxaporphyrin(4.2.4.2) Dications. A New Type of Molecular Dynamics in Macrocyclic SystemsThe [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids(4.2.4.2) 6 are synthesized by cyclizing Wittig reaction of (E, E)-5, 5′-(buta-1, 3-diene-1, 4-diyl)bis[furan-2-carbaldehyde] (8) with (E, E)-{(buta-1, 3-diene-diyl)bis[(furan-5, 2-diyl)methylene]}bis-[triphenylphosphonium] dibromide (9) and 3, 3′-{[(E)-ethene-1, 2-diyl]bis(furan-5, 2-diyl)}bis[(E)-prop-2-enal] (22) with (E)-{(ethene-1, 2-diyl)bis[(furan-5.2- diy)methylene]}bis[triphenylphosphonium] dibromide (23). An alternative path to get 6 is the McMurry condensation of 8. Four different configurational isomers of 6 could be isolated and characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The (Z, EE, Z, EE)-isomer 6a is the first macrocyclic system where the inner and outer protons of the (E, E)-dienediyl bridges exchange by rotation around the adjacent single bonds. In the (Z, EE, E, EE)-isomer 6b, the (E)-ethenediyl bridge is rotationally active, while in the (E, ZE, E, EZ)-isomer 6c and in the (E, EZ, E, EZ)-isomer 6e, the rotation of both (E)-ethenediyl bridges is observed. When in the dynamic systems the rotation of the active (E)-double bonds at temperatures T 〈 -90° is frozen, all configurational isomers of 6 appear to be antiaromatic and paratropic. The oxidation of the [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids 6c and 6e with DDQ yields the aromatic, diatropic [26]tetraoxaporphyrin(4.2.4.2) dications 21e/21e′ both with (E, EZ, E, EZ)-configuration but different fixed conformations. (Z, EE, Z, EE)-Isomer 6a is oxidized to give the (Z, EE, Z, EE)-dication 21a, while the oxidation of 6b yields a mixture of 21a and 21e/21e′. The standard formation enthalpies of the obtained and expected [28]tetraoxaporphyrinoids 6 and [26]tetraoxaporphyrin dications 21 have been calculated with the AM1 method, showing good accordance with the experimental results.

    Notes: The synthesis of substituted cyclododeca-1,6-diallenes.( = cyclododeca-1,2,6,7-tetraenes) from cyclododeca-5,11-diyne-1,4-diols is described (Schemes 1 and 3). The ca. 1:1 mixtures of the stereoisomers of the cyclododeca-1,6-diallenes were formed in high yields from the ca. 1:1 diastereoisomer mixtures of the 1,4-disubstituted cyclododeca-5,11-diynes by reactions with Me2CuLi or t-BuMgCl/CuII. In mechanistically relevant experiments with the pure diastereoisomers of 1,4-dimethylcyclododeca-5,11-diyne-1,4-diol, it is demonstrated that the configuration is conserved in these reactions. The first synthesis of a 1-substituted cyclododeca-2,8-diyne bearing only one propargylic leaving group gives access to a mixed 12-membered allen-yne (Scheme 5).

    Notes: This study was designed to unravel lipophilicity changes associated with the oxidation state of the S-atom in model compounds, drugs, and metabolites, special attention being given both to intermolecular and intramolecular effects. The methods used were experimental (potentiometry, CPC, and shake-flask techniques to measure lipophilicity, 13C-NMR spectroscopy to investigate tautomeric equilibria) and computational (quenched molecular dynamics and molecular lipophilicity potential). Simple, monofunctional model compounds were used to assess intermolecular forces, as revealed by the Δlog Poct-alk and Δlog Poct-chf parameters. Drugs and their metabolites proved to be good probes to study intramolecular effects in both neutral and anionic forms, as revealed by the difference between calculated and experimental log Poct values (the diff(log Pexp-calc) parameter). Sulindac and its metabolites showed a normal partitioning behavior, whereas the lipophilicity of sulfmpyrazone and its metabolites' was markedly affected by tautomeric and conformational equilibria.

    Notes: The synthesis of (E)-hex-3-ene-l, 5-diynes and 3-methylidenepenta-1, 4-diynes with pendant methano[60]-fullerene moieties as precursors to C60-substituted poly(triacetylenes) (PTAs, Fig. 1) and expanded radialenes (Fig. 2) is described. The Bingel reaction of diethyl (E)-2, 3-dialkynylbut-2-ene-1, 4-diyl bis(2-bromopropane-dioates) 5 and 6 with two C60 molecules (Scheme 2) afforded the monomeric, silyl-protected PTA precursors 9 and 10 which, however, could not be effectively desilylated (Scheme 4). Also formed during the synthesis of 9 and 10, as well as during the reaction of C60 with thedesilylated analogue 16 (Scheme 5), were the macrocyclic products 11, 12, and 17, respectively, resulting from double Bingel addition to one C-sphere. Rigorous analysis revealed that this novel macrocyclization reaction proceeds with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. The second approach to a suitable PTA monomer attempted N, N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC)-mediated esterification of (E)-2, 3-diethynylbut-2-ene-l, 4-diol (18, Scheme 6) with mono-esterified methanofullerene-dicarboxylic acid 23; however, this synthesis yielded only the corresponding decarboxylated methanofullerene-carboxylic ester 27 (Scheme 7). To prevent decarboxylation, a spacer was inserted between the reacting carboxylic-acid moiety and the methane C-atom in carboxymethyl ethyl 1, 2-methano[60]fullerene-61, 61-dicarboxylate (28, Scheme 8), and DCC-mediated esterification with diol 18 afforded PTA monomer 32 in good yield. The formation of a suitable monomeric precursor 38 to C60-substituted expanded radialenes was achieved in 5 steps starting from dihydroxyacetone (Schemes 9 and 10), with the final step consisting of the DCC-mediated esterification of 28 with 2-[1-ethynyl(prop-2-ynylidene)]propane-1, 3-diol (33). The first mixed C60-C70 fullerene derivative 49, consisting of two methano[60]fullerenes attached to a methano[70]fullerene, was also prepared and fully characterized (Scheme 13). The Cs-symmetrical hybrid compound was obtained by DCC-mediated esterification of bis[2-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)ethyl] 1, 2-methano[70]fullerene-71, 71-dicarboxylate (46) with an excess of the C60-carboxylic acid 28. The presence of two different fullerenes in the same molecule was reflected by its UV/VIS spectrum, which displayed the characteristic absorption bands of both the C70 and C60 mono-adducts, but at the same time indicated no electronic interaction between the different fullerene moieties. Cyclic voltammetry showed two reversible reduction steps for 49, and comparison with the corresponding C70 and C60 mono-adducts 46 and 30 indicated that the three fullerenes in the composite fullerene compound behave as independent redox centers.

    Bis- through Tetrakis-Adducts of C60 by Reversible Tether-Directed Remote Functionalization and systematic investigation of the changes in fullerene properties as a function of degree, pattern, and nature of functionalization (1997)

    Notes: By the tether-directed remote functionalization method, a series of bis- to hexakis-adducts of C60, i.e., 1-7 (Fig. 1), had previously been prepared with high regioselectivity. An efficient method for the removal of the tether-reactive-group conjugate was now developed and its utility demonstrated in the regioselective synthesis of bis- to tetrakis(methano)fullerenes ( = di- to tetracyclopropafullerenes-C60-Ih) 9-11 starting from 4, 5, and 7, respectively (Schemes 2, 4, and 5). This versatile protocol consists of a 1O2 ene reaction with the two cyclohexene rings in the starting materials, reduction of the formed mixture of isomeric allylic hydroperoxides to the corresponding alcohols, acid-promoted elimination of H2O to cyclohexa-1,3-dienes, Diels-Alder addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, retro-Diels-Alder addition, and, ultimately, transesterification. In the series 9-11, all methano moieties are attached along an equatorial belt of the fullerene. Starting from C2v-symmetrical tetrakis-adduct 15, transesterification with dodecan-1-ol or octan-1-ol yielded the octaesters 16 and 17, respectively, as noncrystalline fullerene derivatives (Scheme 3). The X-ray crystal structure of a CHCl3 solvate of 11 (Fig. 3) showed that the residual conjugated π-chromophore of the C-sphere is reduced to two tetrabenzopyracylene substructures connected by four biphenyl-type bonds (Fig. 5). In the eight six-membered rings surrounding the two pyracylene (= cyclopent[fg]acenaphthylene) moieties, 6-6 and 6-5 bond-length alteration (0.05 Å) was reduced by ca. 0.01 Å as compared to the free C60 skeleton (0.06 Å) (Fig. 4). The crystal packing (Fig. 6) revealed short contacts between Cl-atoms of the solvent molecule and sp2- and sp3-C-atoms of the C-sphere, as well as short contacts between Cl-atoms and O-atoms of the EtOOC groups attached to the methano moieties of 11. The physical properties and chemical reactivity of compounds 1-11 were comprehensively investigated as a function of degree and pattern of addition and the nature of the addends. Methods applied to this study were UV/VIS (Figs. 7-11), IR, and NMR spectroscopy (Table 2), cyclic (CV) and steady-state (SSV) voltammetry (Table 1), calculations of the energies of the lowest uunoccupied mmolecular orbitals (LUMOs) and electron affinities (Figs. 12 and 13), and evaluation of chemical reactivity in competition experiments. It was found that the properties of the fullerene derivatives were not only affected by the degree and pattern of addition but also, in a remarkable way, by the nature of the addends (methano vs. but-2-ene-1, 4-diyl) anellated to the C-sphere. Attachment of multiple thano moieties along an equatorial belt as in the series 8-11 induces only a small perturbation of the original fullerene π-chromophore. In general, with increasing attenuation of the conjugated fullerene π-chromophore, the optical (HOMO-LUMO) gap in the UV/VIS spectrum is shifted to higher energy, the number of reversible one-electron reductions decreases, and the first reduction potential becomes increasingly negative, the computed LUMO energy increases and the electron affinity decreases, and the reactivity of the fullerene towards nucleophiles and carbenes and as dienophile in cycloadditions decreases.

    Notes: Crystal and solution structures of the enantiomerically pure and the racemic pairs of (η3-allyl) {2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-phenyloxazole}palladium(II) hexafluorophosphates (1, and rac-1, resp.) and tetraphenylborates (2, and rac-2, resp.) as well as (η3-allyl){2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-isopropyloxazole}palladium(II) tetraphenylborate (3) were characterized by X-ray crystallography and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, rac-1 and rac-2 proved to be disordered with both diastereoisomeric complexes in the crystal. The complexes 2 and 3 exist only in the ‘exo’ form. The X-ray structures show that the [PdII(η3-allyl)] moiety may adopt different configurations between a nearly symmetrical three-electron PdII(π3-allyl) system and an asymmetrical allyl group with a η1- and a η2-bonding to the metal center. The [PdII(η3-allyl)] system of rac-1 and of ‘endo’ rac-2 is closer to the former, and that of 2, ‘exo’-rac-2, and 3 closer to the later geometry. The 1H-NMR spectra of the hexafluorophosphates 1 and rac-1 show two sets of signals of the allylic protons in an ‘exo’/‘endo’ ratio of 2:3. The tetraphenylborates 2, rac-2, and 3 give only one set of broad signals of the allylic protons.

    Notes: ‘Acetyleno-oligosaccharides’ in which two terminal ethynyl substituents enclose an angle (significantly) below 180° are building blocks for the preparation of cyclodextrin analogues. This is illustrated by the preparation of a cyclotrimer and a cyclotetramer; the C3-symmetrical cyclotrimer 18 (Scheme 1) was synthesized in 13 steps (7.7%) and the C4-symmetrical cyclotetramer 51 (Scheme 3) in 14 steps (4.3%) from the known dialkyne 21. The solubilities of 18 and 51 in H2O were determined by gravimetry; a saturated solution is 130 mM in the trimer 18 and 12.8 mM in the tetramer 51. The dependence of the optical rotation of 18 and 51 in H2O on the concentration, and the concentration dependence of the 1H-NMR chemical shift of the signals of the 1CH groups of 51 (D2O) suggest that there is no significant self-association of 18 and 51.

    Notes: The chiral biyclic bis-lactams of structures 3 and 4 were synthesized from the key intermediate 2′b, the N,N′-bis(4-methoxybenzyl) derivative of 2 (X = MeO) (Scheme 6). The synthesis of this intermediate involved two key steps: (1) a double condensation of glyoxylic acid/anisamide (= oxoacetic acid/4-methoxybenzamide) adduct 11c with veratrole (1,2-dimethoxybenzene; 10) allowed the introduction of two glycine units at the 4,5-positions of the veratrole ring to give 18c (Schemes 3 and 4); (2) in order to circumvent the hydrolysis of 4-methoxybenzoyl protective groups which proved to be unfeasible, these groups were transformed into 4-methoxybenzyl groups through a sequence involving thiocarbonylation followed by reduction (Scheme 5). Thereafter, the double intramolecular cyclization of the resulting diamino diester 22c proceeded easily to afford 2′b. This intermediate may be transformed via the tetrol 2′g or the diol 2′h into the N-protected derivatives of 2 (X = OR) and of 3 (X = OCOR). Cleavage of the 4-alkuxybenzyl groups was achieved by ceric ammonium nitrate. However, when the aromatic ring bore ether functions (N-protected 2), this normal reaction was accompanied by the oxidative ring cleavage to give the diene-diester structure 4 (Schemes 5 and 6).

    Notes: The kinetics of the Cu2+ complexation by macrocycles 1 (4-[(l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzoic acid) and 2 (N-propyl-4-[(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)methyl]-benzamide) as well as by macrocycle 1 conjugated to bovine serum albumin (bsa) and to ribonuclease A (rnase) were studied by stopped flow techniques. For 1 and 2, the kinetics were followed in the mM range monitoring the d-d* absorption band of the Cu2+ complex. From the pH dependence of kobs, the rate law is v = [Cu2+] (kLH[LH] + kLH2[LH2]), where kLH and kLK2 are the bimolecular rate constants for Cu2+ with the diprotonated (LH2) and monoprotonated (LH1) form of the ligand, respectively. The values are kLH2 = 1.7(1) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.3(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 1, and kLH2, = 0.28(9) M-1s-1 and kLH = 2.0(1) 105 M-1s-1 for 2. The kinetics of the Cu2+ incorporation into 1,2 and 1 conjugated to bsa and rnase, i.e., 3 and 4, respectively, were also followed using nitroso-R salt as a metal indicator in the μM range, i.e., under conditions typical for the ‘post-labeling’ technique to give radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. In these cases, the reaction takes place between the 1:1 complex of Cu2+ with nitroso-R-salt and the macrocycle. At pH 6.5, the rates are very similar to each other indicating that the complexation properties of the macrocycle attached to a protein are not very different from those of the free ligand under comparable conditions.

    Notes: The synthesis of a variety of hydroxylactams from ω-phthalimidoalkanoates using a triplet-sensitized photodecarboxylation reaction initiated by intramolecular photo electron transfer is described. Ring sizes available by this method span from 4 (benzazepine-1,5-dione 7) to 26 (cyclodipeptide 26e). Ground-state template formation is proposed as the explanation for the high efficiency of this reaction and for the decrease in reactivity in the presence of organic bases instead of metal carbonates. The crucial step in this macrocyclization reaction seems to be the protonation of the intermediary ketyl radials (Scheme 4). Spacer groups investigated were alkyl chains (C3-C11: 5c-h, 11a, 12), ether (16, 18), ester (20, 22), and amide (26a-f) linkages. Within the detection limits, no dimeric (= decarboxylative coupling) products were observed, indicating the high preference for intra-vs. intermolecular photoelectron transfer. The C,C radical combination step proceeds with low stereoselectivity (cf, products 11 and 12) in contrast to comparable singlet reactions. Except for the lactones 22, all products were stable under the photolysis conditions. Prolonged irradiation of 22 led to the formation of the spiro compounds 23, probably via an intermediary acyliminium betaine (Scheme 8). One serious limitation of the decarboxylative macrocyclization is its incompatibility with the glycine spacer (as in 27a and 27b), probably the consequence of a strong intramolecular H-bond (Scheme 10).

This template was incorporated into the cyclic molecule cyclo(-Ala1-Asn2-Pro3-Asn4-Ala5-Ala6-Temp-) (Temp = template), whose conformation in H2O was studied by NMR methods. Average solution structures derived by restrained simulated annealing point to a highly populated βI-turn within the Asn-Pro-Asn-Ala motif and also indicate which conformations are likely to be preferred by the template.

On the other hand, NBS bromination of 1,5-dihydropentalene (4) or of 1,2-dihydropentalene (8) gives unstable 1-bromo-1,2-dihydropentalene (9), while subsequent in-situ elimination with Et3N exclusively gives syn-cis-pentalene dimer 2 in moderate yields (Scheme 3). NMR-Spectroscopic evidence for compounds 2, 3, and 9 is presented, and mechanistic alternatives for the formation of pentalene dimers 2 and 3 are discussed.

    Notes: Four new iridoid glucosides 1-4, named blumeosides A-D, were isolated from the methanolic stem-bark extract of Fagraea blumei G. DON. (Loganiaceae). They were accompanied by the benzyl-alcohol derivative di-O-methylcrenatin (5) and the flavone C-glucoside swertisin (6). The structures of 1-4 were established by spectroscopic methods, including FAB-MS, and 1H- and 13C-NMR, and by alkaline hydrolysis. Blumeosides A (1) and C (3) are 10-O-(2,5-dihydroxytercphthalo) adoxosidic acid and 10-O-(2-hydroxyterephthalo)adoxosidic acid, respectively. In blumeosides B (4) and D (2), both carboxylic groups of the terephthalic-acid moiety are esterified by adoxosidic-acid units, Blumeosides A-D (1-4) inhibited bleaching of crocin induced by alkoxyl radicals. Blumeosides A (1) and D (2) also demonstrated scavenging properties towards the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hvdrazvl (CDPPH) radical in TLC autographic and spectrophotometric assays.

    Notes: The kinetic model of column chromatography is revisited to explicitly show that this approach yields, when neglecting axial dispersion, a rather simple analytical expression depending only on two dimensionless parameters, namely a dimensionless kinetic retention parameter and a dimensionless time parameter. An expression for the time corresponding to the maximum of the peak is also proposed.

    Synthesis of Unnatural Lipohilic N-(9H-Fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl-Substituted α-Amino Acids and Their Incorporation into Cyclic RGD-Peptides: A structure-activity studyDedicated to Peter Welzel on the occasion of his 60th birthday (1997)

    Notes: The αv/β3 integrin is implicated in human tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. It has been shown that structures of the sequence cyclo(-Arg1-Gly2-Asp3-D-Phe4-Xaa5-) (I) and cyclo(-Arg1-Gly2-Asp3-Phe4-D-Xaa5-) (II) bind with high affinity and the latter with high selectivity to this receptor. The residues Xaa and D-Xaa accept a broad variety of amino acids. Here, we report on the synthesis, activities, and conformational analysis of cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides containing liophilic amino acids Xaa or D-Xaa in position 5. For I, these were (2S)-2-aminohexadecanoic acid (Ahd) and N′-hexadecylglycine (Hd-Gly) and in II, D-Ahd and Hd-Gly, and, for control purposes, Ahd were incorporated (Fig. 1). The enantiomerically pure a-amino acids were obtained by non-enantioselective synthesis and subsequent enzymatic separation of isomers using acylase I (Scheme). Hd-Gly was prepared in a modified procedure according to Stewart from ethyl bromoacetate and hexadecylamine (Scheme). The synthesis and physicochemical properties of the corresponding (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc) derivatives, compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis, are described. Structure elucidation by NMR reveals that the lipid modification has no significant impact on the template structures when incorporated into them. For peptides I with Xaa = Ahd or Hd-Gly (1 or 2), a βII′/γ-turn-like arrangement with D-Phe in i+1 position of the β-turn is found. Peptides II with D-Xaa = D-Ahd or Hd-Gly (3 or 4) exhibit a βII′/γ-turn conformation with Gly in i+1 position of the β-turn, whereas II with Ahd instead of D-Xaa, i.e., lacking a D-amino acid in position 4 or 5 (5). adopts no defined conformation. However, in assays of receptor specificity employing human αvv/β3 integrin, the compounds exhibit IC50 values ranging from nanomolar to less than millimolar. These results indicate that although the arrangement of the pharmacophoric groups is preserved in the target compounds, the biological activity is highly dependent on spatial requirements of the lipid anchor in the receptor binding pocket. Obviously, only certain positions do not affect the binding.

    Notes: The conformational analysis of naturally occurring cytostatic cyclic heptapeptides axinastatin 2, 3, and 4 was carried out by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy in combination with distance-geometry (DG) and molecular-dynamics (MD) calculations in explicit solvents. The synthesized secondary metabolites were examined in (D6)DMSO. Axinastatin 2 was also investigated in CD3OH. In all structures, Pro2 is in the i + 1 position of a βI turn and Pro6 occupies the i + 2 position of a βVIa turn about the cis amide bond between residue 5 and Pro6. In all peptides, a bifurcated H-bond occurs between residue 4 CO and the amide protons of residue 1 and 7. For axinastatin 2 and 3, an Asn Ig turn was found about Asn1 and Pro2. We compared these structures with conformations of cyclic heptapeptides obtained by X-ray and NMR studies. A β-bulge motif with two β turns and one bifurcated H-bond is found as the dominating backbone conformation of cyclic all-L-heptapeptides. Axinastatin 2, 3, and 4 can be characterized by six trans and one cis amide bond resulting in a β/βVI(a)-turn motif, a conformation found for many cyclic heptapeptides. Detailed biological tests of the synthetic compounds in different human cancer cell lines indicates these axinastatins to be inactive or of low activity.

    Notes: In the presence of activating agents, the N-acylglycine 8 reacts with electrophilic alkynes via the münchnone9 to the pyrrolopyridines (= indolizines) 10, 18, and 19 (Scheme 1 ), Depending on the nature of the activating agent and the reaction temperature, the formation of the pyrroles was accompanied by partial epimerization to the manna-configurated epimers 16 and 17. The gluco-configurated pyrrolopyridine 10 was deprotected to 12. Silylation of 12, followed by reduction and desilylation, gave the hexol 15. Cycloaddition of 9 to 4-toluenesulfonyl cyanide yielded 53% of the imidazole 23, while cycloaddition to phenyl cyanate gave the phenoxyimidazole 28 in low yields only (Scheme 2). As expected, the deprotected pyrroles 12, 15, 20, and 21 are weak inhibitors of retaining β-glucosidases, while the deprotected imidazole 24 derived from 23 proved a good inhibitor of sweet-almond β-glucosidases and a powerful inhibitor of Caldocellum saccharolyticum β-glucosidase.

    Notes: The classical rules for Cope rearrangements predict a transition state with chair form to be favored over the boat form. On the other hand, bridged homotropylidenes, which allow only a boat-form transition state by steric reasons, have extremely low barriers. A controversy about the correct pathway and the different possible intermediates and transition states of the reaction has gone on for years. In this work, the hypersurfaces of barbaralane, in comparison with the boat- and chair-form of hexa-1,5-diene, are computed by the ab inito CASSCF (6,6)/6-31G** method starting with UMP2/6-31G** natural orbitals (NO's). All three hypersurfaces show characteristic features, and, moreover differ from each other. A hitherto undiscussed intermediate, bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane, was localized on the boat-hexa-1,5-diene pathway. So it is noteworthy that our transition state for the boat-hexa-1,5-diene does not correspond to the transition states found by other authors for this conformation. The computed enthalpies of activation of boat- and chair-hexa-1,5-diene, and barbaralane are in good agreement with the experimental data.

    Notes: As one of the regulatory gene products in the HIV-1 genome, Rev protein must be translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm to exert its function. Therefore, inhibition of Rev protein translocation could be a useful target for HIV therapy. An extract from the Streptomyces strain A92-308902 with very potent inhibitory activity was found in the course of a high throughput screening with a Rev translocation assay (RTA). Bioassay-guided fractionation with gel filtration, normal-phase and reversed-phase chromatography yielded six RTA-active metabolites belonging to the leptomycin family, the known leptomycin A (1), leptomycin B (2), kazusamycin B (3), and kazusamycin A (4). and the hitherto unknown dilactonmycin (5) and delactonmycin (6), together with an inactive cyclic hexadepsipeptide L-156,620 (7). The structures were established mainly by spectroscopic methods (UV, FT-IR, FAB-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR(JMOD), DQ-COSY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC). The configuration of all C=C bonds of 1-6 was unambiguously established by analysis of coupling constants and ROESY spectra. All isolated leptomycins 1-6 inhibit Rev translocation at nanomolar concentrations. Six derivatives (2a-c and 4a-c) of leptomycin B (2) and kazusamycin A (4) were also prepared and tested in the RTA for preliminary investigations on structure-activity relationships.

    Notes: The olefins mentioned in the title were copolymerized with CO in the presence of palladium catalysts modified with dicyclohexyl{(R)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethyl}phosphine. Productivities up to 95 g/(gPd · h) were achieved. The obtained copolymers were recovered in the pure, regio- und stereoregular polyketone structures3. The isotactic poly[2-benzyl-1-oxopropane-1,3-diyl] (3a) and its analogues 3b, c were found to isomerize to the corresponding spirocyclic poly[3-(arylmethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2,2-5,5-tetrayl-2-oxy-2-methylene]s 4 in a suspension in CHC13, thus indicating that the spiroketal structure is thermodynamically the most stable for these copolymers. However, the atactic material did not undergo any structural transformation. These results show that regularity at the centers of chirality in the main chain is a prerequisite for the conversion of the polyketone to the spiroketal structure.

    Notes: Cyclophanes 3 and 4 were prepared as initiator cores for the construction of dendrophanes (dendritic cydophanes) 1 and 2, respectively, which mimic recognition sites buried in globular proteins. The tetra-oxy[6.1.6.1]paracyclophane 3 was prepared by a short three-step route (Scheme 1) and possesses a cavity binding site shaped by two diphenylmethane units suitable for the inclusion of flat aromatic substrates such as benzene and naphthalene derivatives as was shown by 1H-NMR binding titrations in basic D2O phosphate buffer (Table 1). The larger cyclophane 4, shaped by two wider naphthyl(phenyl)methane spacers, was prepared in a longer, ten-step synthesis (Scheme 2) which included as a key intermediate the tetrabromocyclophane 5. 1H-NMR Binding studies in basic borate buffer in D2O/CD3OD demonstrated that 4 is an efficient steroid receptor. In a series of steroids (Table 1), complexation strength decreased with increasing substrate polarity and increasing number of polar substituents; in addition, electrostatic repulsion between carboxylate residues of host and guest also affected the binding affinity strongly. The conformationally flexible tetrabromocyclophane 5 displayed a pronounced tendency to form solid-state inclusion compounds of defined stoichiometry, which were analyzed by X-ray crystallography (Fig. 2). 1,2-Dichloroethane formed a cavity inclusion complex 5a with 1:1 stoichiometry, while in the 1:3 inclusion compound 5b with benzene, one guest is fully buried in the macrocyclic cavity and two others are positioned in channels between the Cyclophanes in the crystal lattice. In the 1:2 inclusion compound 5c, two toluene molecules penetrate with their aromatic rings the macrocyclic cavity from opposite sides in an antiparallel fashion. On the other hand, p-xylene (= 1,4-dimethylbenzene) in the 1:1 compound 5d is sandwiched between the cyclophane molecules with its two Me groups penetrating the cavities of the two macrocycles. In the 1:2 inclusion compound 5e with tetralin (= 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene), both host and guest are statically disordered. The shape of the macrocycle in 5a-e depends strongly on the nature of the guest (Fig. 4). Characteristic for these compounds is the pronounced tendency of 5 to undergo regular stacking and to form channels for guest inclusion; these channels can infinitely extend across the macrocyclic cavities (Fig. 6) or in the crystal lattice between neighboring cyclophane stacks (Fig. 5).

    Notes: Photolysis and Ag-benzoate-catalyzed decomposition of the diazo ketones 2 and 4 derived from Z-Ala-OH and Z-Ala-Ala-OH in the presence of oligonucleotide derivatives bearing at the 5′-terminus an NH2 instead of the OH group, or an aminohexyl phosphate group lead to Z-protected 3-aminobutanoyl and to Z-Ala-β-HAla derivatives, respectively (conjugates 12, 13, and 17-23, Schemes 3-5), In solution, this amide-forming acylation reaction could be realized only with oligomers containing up to 8 unprotected nucleotide building blocks (Schemes 3 and 4). With the analogous polymer-bound and protected oligonucleotide derivatives as amino nucleophiles, excellent yields were obtained with all chain lengths tested (up to 15mer Scheme 5), The products were purified by reversed-phase HPLC and characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Figs. 2-4, Table 2) and by capillary gel electrophoresis (Fig.2).

    A Novel and Efficient Approach for the Combinatorial Synthesis of Structurally Diverse Pyrimidines on solid supportPresented in part at the ‘Random & Rational Conference’ in Princeton on September 16, 1996 (1997)

    Notes: We describe a versatile novel approach for the synthesis of 2, 4, 6-trisubstituted pyrimidines on solid support. Thus, polymer-boun J thiouronium salt 2 reacted in high yield in a cyclocondensation reaction with the acetylenic ketones 3 to form, after tert-butyl-ester cleavage, the polymer-bound carboxylic acids 4, which were cleaved by oxidation with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid and pyrrolidine to form the 2-pyrrolidinylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids 6a-c in high yields and purities without further purification (Scheme 1). Alternatively, acid 4a was subjected to an Ugi four-component condensation which gave the polymer-bound Ugi products 9a-e in good yields (Scheme 2). Multidirectional cleavage reaction of sulfone 8a with different nucleophiles resulted in the clean formation of pyrimidine-4-carboxamides 10-13 (Scheme 3). This strategy combines efficiently solid-phase chemistry with a multicomponent reaction and a multidirectional cleavage step to form highly diverse pyrimidines in a parallel array.

    Models for the Active Center of Pterin-Containing Molybdenum Enzymes: Crystal structure of a molybdenum complex with sulfur and pterin ligands (1997)

    Notes: The first crystal structure of a molybdenum complex 9 with a hydrogenated pterin and a sulfur ligand contributes to the discussion about the active center of molybdenum and tungsten enzymes containing a molybdopterin cofactor. Complex 9 was synthesized through a redox reaction of [MoVIO2 (LN-S2)] (8; LN-S2 = pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato)) with 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydropterin (7). 2 HCl (H4Ptr.2 HCl). The complex crystallizes, with a non-coordinating Cl-atom acting as a counterion, in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with cell dimensions a = 22.900(5), b = 10.716(2), c = 17.551(4) Å, β = 120.36(3)°, and Z = 8. We interpret 9 as [MoIVO(LN-S2)(H+-q-H2Ptr)]Cl (q = quinonoid; H2Ptr = dihydropterin), i.e., a MoIV monooxo center coordinated by a pyridine-2, 6-bis(methanethiolato) ligand and a protonated dihydropterin. The spectroscopic properties of this new complex are comparable to those of other crystalline molybdenum complexes of hydrogenated pterins without additional S-coordination. The slightly H2O-soluble complex 9 reacts with the natural enzyme substrate DMSO very slowly, possibly due to the lack of easily dissociable ligands at the metal center.

    Notes: The solid-state structures of three stereoisomer, 1-3, of the cyclic tetramer of 3-aminobutanoic acid are presented. These cyclo-β-peptides were found to be highly insoluble materials, and it proved to be impossible to grow crystals of sufficient quality for X-ray single-crystal analysis. The samples of 1-3 were, however, suitable candidates for structure determination from powder diffraction data (Fig. 1), and the application of this method is described. All three isomers have been found to adopt tubular structures (Figs. 2-4) in a fashion similar to those already observed for certain cyclo-α-peptides. The stacks of 16-membered rings are held together by four nonlinear C=O…H—N H-bonds between pairs of molecules (Fig.5).

After hydrolysis, repeated chromatography, and crystallization, (3S,5R,6S)-5,6-epoxy-β-cryptoxanthin (3), (3S,5S,6R)-5,6-epoxy-β-cryptoxanthin (4), (3R,5′R,6′R)-5′,6′-epoxy-β-cryptoxanthin (5), (3S,5R,6S,5′R,6′S)-5,6:5′,6′-diepoxy-β-cryp-toxanthin (6), and (3S,5S,6R,5′S,6′R)-5,6:5′,6′-diepoxy-β-cryptoxanthin (7) were isolated as main products and characterized by their UV/VIS, CD, 1H- and 13C-NMR, and mass spectra. The comparison of the carotenoid isolated from yellow, tomato-shaped paprika (Capsicum annuum var. lycopersiciforme flavum) with 3-5 strongly supports the structure of 3 for the natural product.

    Notes: The 14-membered tetraazamacrocyclic Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes of 4 (1, 4, 8-trimethyl-11-[(2-methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), 5. (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-l, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), and 7 (1, 4, 8, ll-tetrakis[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with pne, two, and four methylthio-substituted pendant chains, respectively, and the Ni2+ complex of 6 (1, 4-dimethyl-8, 11-bis (2-methoxyethyl)-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), with two methoxy-substituted pendant chains, were synthesized and their chemistry studied with regard to modelling F430. Solution spectra in H2O, MeCN, and DMF indicate participation of the side chain in metal coordination when the donor group is a thioether, whereas no coordination with the metal ion is observed with the ether group. Similarly the X-ray structures of the thioether-containing compounds [Ni(5)](ClO4)2, [Cu(5)](ClO4)2, and [Cu(7)](ClO4)2 show a coordination number of 5, whereas that of [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 with ether pendant chains, shows a coordination number of 4. Cyclic voltammetry of these complexes in MeCN reveals that Ni2+ is reversibly reduced to Ni+ between -0.64 and -0.77 V vs. SCE, the potential being influenced by the nature and number of the pendant chains. At more negative potentials, the thioether is cleaved, whereby a thiol is formed; the thiol is then oxidized at ca. + 0.8 V vs. SCE, when a glassy carbon electrode is used, or at ca. 0 V vs. SCE at a dropping Hg electrode. No cleavage of the ether bond in [Ni(6)](ClO4)2 is observed under similar conditions.

    Notes: The photochemical synthesis of indole derivatives starting from the indoline-2-thiones 1 is described. Irradiation of indoline-2-thiones 1 in the presence of alkenes 3 gave 2-alkyl-3H-indoles 4-7 or 2-alkylindoles 8-22 through the ring cleavage of the intermediates, spirocyclic amino-thietanes, initially derived by [2 + 2] cycloaddition of the C=S bond of 1 and the C=C bond of 3. Irradiation of 1 in the presence of trialkylamines 26 gave desulfurization products 27-32 and unexpected 3-alkylindoles 33-40. N-Acylindoline-2-thiones 11-p yielded the deacylated products, indoline-2-thiones 1a-b, and ethyl esters 43 through γ-H abstraction by the excited thioamide S-atom when irradiated in CDC13/EtOH or benzene/EtOH. Oxygen analogues 2a-d also underwent intramolecular H abstraction to give the indolin-2-ones 2e-f and ethyl esters 43 in a similar way.

    Notes: Antioxidant activity guided fractionation of extracts of the aerial parts of the title plant and HPLC separation yielded a series of oxygenated long-chain alkylcatechols. Their structures were inferred by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations to be the novel 4-[(2S,4R,6S)-4-(acetyloxy)tetrahydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]benzene-1,2diol (1a), 4-[(2S,4R6S)-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]benzene-1,2-diol (1b), 4-[(3S,5S)-5-(acetyloxy)-3-hydroxydecyl]benzene-1,2-diol (2a), 4-[(3S,5S)3-(acetyloxy)-5-hydroxydecyl]benzene-1,2-diol (2b), (3S,13Z)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxydocos-13-en-5-one (3a), (Z)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)docos-13-en-5-one (4), besides the known l-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)icosan-5-one (5). The absolute configurations of the optically active compounds which are structurally related to the [n]-gingerols (6) and -diols (7) were established by the high-field 1H-NMR application of Mosher's method. All compounds are in vitro potent antioxidants, inhibiting the Fe2+-catalysed autoxidation of linoleic acid in the same order of magnitude as the commercial antioxidant 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (BHT). The dose-dependent inhibitory effects on soybean-lipoxygenase are in the μmol range, that of the most effective compound (3a) in the nmol range, hence being significantly more potent than the Known anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs indomethacin and nordihydroguaiaretic acid.

Subsequent simple one-step transformations yielded 2,3-disubstituted thiophene-5-carbaidehydes 7a-c, carboxylic-acid derivatives 8, 9, and 11, and alcohol 10 (Scheme 3). These molecules constitute interesting novel thiophene-containing building blocks, useful for the preparation of low-molecular-weight compound libraries by combinatorial and parallel-chemistry techniques.

    Notes: Lanthanide picrate complexes with the ligand N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenyl-3,6-dioxaactanediamide (tdd): [Ln(Pic)3(tdd)] (Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Tb, Er) have been prepared in a nonaqueous medium and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, and 1H-NMR spectra. The crystal structures of the complexes for Ln = Nd and Er were determined. The early lanthanide, NdIII, crystallizes as the nona-coordinate complex [Nd(Pic)3(tdd)]. 2 CH3CN in the monoclinic space group P21n with a = 11.384(2), b = 18.805(4), c = 27.526(5) Å, β = 99.41(1)°, V = 5832(2) Å3, and Dc = 1.58 gcm-3 for Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.0505, based on 4772 observed Deflections. The late lanthanide, ErIII, forms an octa-coordinate complex [Er(Pic)3(tdd)]; crystals are triclinic, P1, with a = 12.449(2), b = 17.065(2), c = 26.243(4) Å, α = 72.12(1), β = 87.86(1), γ = 84.60(1)°, V = 5282(1) Å3, and Dc = 1.68 g cm-3 for Z, = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.0469, based on 10666 observed reflections, The results reveal that tdd forms a ring-like structure with its four O-atoms, coordinating to the metal ions as multidentate ligand, together with one O-atom of the bidentate picrate. The structure of the complexes is greatly affected by the ionic radius due to participation of the picrates in coordination.

    Notes: Intramolecular [Pd2(dba)3]/tri(2-furyl)phosphine-catalysed (dba = dibenzylideneacetone, PhCH=CHCOCH=CHPh) cyclisations of olefinic propargylic carbonates I provided alk-1-enyl-(3-aza)bicyclo[3.1.0]-hexanes VIII in good yields. A palladium cascade sequence I → II → III → IV → VII → VIII is proposed. Furthermore, chiral propargylic carbonates such as 23, 24 and 25 allowed diastereoselective formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes 29, 30 and 31, respectively. The first diastereoselective synthesis of the monoterpene, (-)-α-thujone 40 illustrates the potential of the method.

Employing the exciton-coupling technique for rogioldiol A p-bromobenzoate (2), the absolute configuration at C(9) of (-)-1 was assigned, and, together with extensive NMR experiments, the absolute configuration at C(10) and preferred conformations of (-)-1 were determined. The absolute configuration of the hetero-substituted cyclohexane ring was deduced in analogy from the X-ray structure of 4, a derivative of the aldehyde 3, which was isolated from the same seaweed and is believed to be a degradation product of (-)-1.

    Notes: New chromenes annulated with different six-membered azaheterocycles were prepared, i.e., the 3H-pyra-no[3,2-f]quinolines 9/10 and 14, the 8H-pyrano[2,3-h]isoquinoline 11, the 8H-pyrano[3,2-f]quinazolme 12, the 8-H-pyrano[3,2-f]quinoxaline 13, and the 2H-pyrano[2,3-f]isoquinoline 15. The synthesis was achieved using conveniently substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and organotitanium intermediates arising from azaheterocyclic phenols. Their photochromic behaviour (photocolouration yield, UV/VIS spectrum of photomerocyanines, rate constant of thermal bleaching) were studied besides those of corresponding naphthopyrans. The heterocycle effect and the role of substituents in the pyran moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. Diaryl-substituted azino-fused chromenes, especially isoquinoline derivatives, exhibit increased colourabilities and bathochromically shifted spectra for photomerocyanines which open up new prospects for photochromic applications.

    Notes: The 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine (1) reacts with MeI in the presence of an excess of NaH in THF giving 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-5′-O-methyluridine (2). Prolonged reaction time gives rise to 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-3,5′-O-dimethyluridine (4). The use of an equimolar amount of base and alkylating agent results predominantly in methylation at N(3) (→ 3).

    Notes: We describe a new, efficient synthesis of DX-9065a (4), a potent inhibitor of the blood coagulation enzyme factor Xa (fXa) which has previously been prepared in more than 20 steps. We saved approximately 10 steps starting with a Pd-catalyzed cyanation of the triflate 10 of 7-methoxynaphthalen-2-ol (9). After cleavage of the MeO group with boron tribromide, the triflate 6 was coupled to acrylate 5 in a Heck reaction (→3). The subsequent transformations led to DX-9065 a.

    Notes: The Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes of three reinforced tetraazamacrocycles, containing a piperazine subunit and one or two alkyl substituents at the other two N-atoms have been prepared and their structural properties studied. In solution, the Ni2+ complexes are square-planar and show no tendency to axially coordinate a solvent molecule or an N3- ion. In contrast, the Cu2+ complexes change their geometry depending upon the donor properties of the solvent, being square-planar in MeNO2 and pentacoordinate in DMF. They also easily react in aqueous solution with N3- to give ternary species with pentacoordinate geometry, the stabilities of which have been determined. In the solid state, the X-ray crystal structures of three Cu2+ complexes also show both geometrical arrangements, two having a square-planar, the other one a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The difference behavior of Ni2+ and Cu2+ stems from the fact that the structural change from square-planar to square-pyramidal can easily be accomplished for Cu2+, whereas, for Ni2+, it is accompanied by an electronic rearrangement from the low-spin to the high-spin configuration. The relatively rigid ligands cannot Adapt to the somewhat larger high-spin Ni2+ion.

    Notes: N-Monosubstituted 1,3-diamines were selectively functionalized at the secondary N-atom via 2-Ph-substituted hexahydropyrimidine intermediates. Reaction of the diamines with benzaldehyde, followed by treatment with an electrophile and hydrolysis, provided the desired products with excellent selectivity and in high yields. N4,N9-bis[3-phenylprop-2-enoyl]spermine (4a), which was further converted to N1,N1 2-bis[3-phenylprop-2-enoyl]spermine (15) by a transamidation reaction, was prepared by this way in 82% yield from spermine (1). Compound 4a was alternatively synthesized in 83% yield, equally from 1, by a sequence involving intermediary protection of the terminal amino groups.

    Notes: As previously shown, oligo- and poly(β-hydroxyalkanoates) have a high tendency to form lamellar crystallites with ca. 50-Å thickness which corresponds to chain lengths of 16 units (Fig. 1). To have monodisperse model compounds, we have now prepared bicyclic derivatives with three parallel (27-29) or two parallel and an antiparallel chain (68-70) consisting of up to 16 3-hydroxybutanoate (3-HB) units. We also prepared dendritic compounds (71-75, 82-85) containing oligo(3-HB) chains which cannot possibly be arranged as in the lamellae; the branching units were prepared from trimesic acid (= benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). So far, none of the prepared samples formed crystals or contained crystalline domains which would have been suitable for single-crystal or powder-diffraction X-ray analysis. The terminally deprotected dendrimers (74, 75, and 85) are multi-anionic (up to 12 peripheral CO2H groups) and biodegradable. The macromolecular HB derivatives (molecular weight up to 10150 Da) have been fully characterized by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, [α]D, and elemental analysis. Especially important is the analysis by mass spectrometry with the MALDI-TOF technique (Fig. 2), proving that the products are monodisperse; application of a new variation of this MS method (post source decay = PSD or fragment analysis by structural time of flight = FASTTM) allows for the observation of metastable fragment ions and, thus, is a tool for structural oligomer analysis (Fig. 3).

    Notes: 5-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (1) is a remarkable probe to study hydrogen and proton transfer reactions. The photoenol 4-hydroxy-5-methylidene naphthalen-1 (5H)-one (2) is formed in the ground state within 2 ps of excitation and with a quantum yield of unity, presumably through a conical intersection of the S0 and S1 hypersurfaces. In aqueous acid, enol 2 is hydrated to 5-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene-1,4-diol 3 (X = OH, Scheme 1). The rate of hydration of 2 increases linearly with acid concentration from ca. 1.5 × 104 s-1 at pH 6 to reach a maximum value of 9 ×107 s-1 when the remaining carbonyl function is protonated, pKa(2+) = 1.1. Contrary to an earlier suggestion, the rate-determining step in the acid-catalyzed hydration of 2 is addition of water to the conjugate acid 2+. Pronounced acceleration of the decay rate of 2 by hydrazoic-acid buffers indicates competitive trapping of 2+ by the azide ion. In neutral-to-weakly-basic solutions, enol 2 reacts by ionization, pKa(2) = 6.5, and nearly diffusion-controlled condensation of the carbanionic species 2- with quinone 1. Proto-nation at the methylidene C-atom does not compete measurably with protonation on carbonyl O-atom, despite a Substsial thermodynamic basic for carbon Portoation of ca. 50 kJ mol-1 for 2 and 100 mol-1 for 2-.

    Notes: O-Alkylation of 8-hydroxy-1H-quinolin-2-one (1) afforded 8-(2-oxopropoxy)-1H-quinolin-2-one (2) which was immediately cyclized to form the tricyclic 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-5H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzoxazine,-5-one (3). The Reformatsky-type condensation of 3 furnished antiplatelet 8-[(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-methylidene-5-oxofuran-2-yl)melhoxy]-1H-quinolin-2-one (4). Its counterparts 7a-f, Ph-substituted at C(2) of the furan ring, were obtained from 1 via alkylation and the Reformatsky-type condensation. Although compound 4 was less active against platelet aggregation than 7a-f, it was the only compound which exhibited significant inhibitory activity on high-K+ medium, Ca2+-induced vasoconstriction and was more active than most of its Ph-substituted counterparts against norepinephrine-induced vasoconstrictions.

    Notes: The synthesis of a variety of potent macrocyclic growth hormone secretagogues, i.e. 5, 9, 12, and 20-22, based on the known lead structure L-692,429 (1) is described. These conformationally constrained growth hormone secretagogues were prepared by joining the two essential pharmacophores, the amino-acid side chain at the 1H-1-benzazepine moiety and the 1,1′-biphenyl moiety with a variety of linkers. The most potent analog was found to be L-744,080 (21), a derivative in which a 2′-carboxamide moiety at 1,1-biphenyl is N,O-joined to the OH group of the (2-hydroxypropyl)amino-acid side chain by a C4 ester linker. This potent analog may be useful in determining the bound conformation of the benzolactam class of growth hormone secretagogues at the newly identified GHS receptor, L-744,080 (21) with an ED50 of 20 nM was up to fifty times more potent than the seco-acid precursor and 3-fold more potent than the parent 2′-tetrazole compound L-692, 429 (1).

    Notes: Addition of CH2N2 to 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-1-thio-mannono-1,4-lactone (1) gave the 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole 2 and the 4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-thiadiazole 3. First-order kinetics were observed for the thermolysis of 3 (Scheme 3) at 80-110° in C6D5Cl solution and of 2 (Scheme 3) at 20-35° in CDC13, respectively. The 1,2,3-thiadiazole 3 led to mixtures of the thiirane 9, the starting thionolactone 1, the thiono-1,5-lactone 8, and the enol ether 7, while the isomeric 1,3,4-thiadiazole 2 led to mixtures of the anomeric thiiranes 9 and 12, the O-hydrogen S,O,O-ortholactone α-D-14, the S-methyl thioester 15, the S,S,O-ortholactone 13, and the 2,3:5,6-di-Oisopropylidene-mannono-1,4-iactone (16). Pure products of the thermolysis were isolated by semipreparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), whereas preparative HPLC led to partial or complete decomposition. Thus, the β-D-mannofuranosyl β-D-mannofuranoside 10, contaminated by an unknown S species, was isolated by preparative HPLC of the crude product of thermolysis of 3 at 115-120° and partially transformed in CD3OD solution into the symmetric di(α-D-mannofuranosyl) tetrasulfide 11. Its structure was evidenced by X-ray analysis. Similarly, HPLC of the thermolysis product of 2 gave the enethiol 17, the sulfide 19, and the mercapto alcohol 18 as secondary products. Thermolysis of the thiirane 9 at 110-120° (Scheme 4) led to the anomeric thiirane 12 which was transformed into mixtures of the enethiol 17 and the enol ether 7. Addition of H2O to 17 and 7 gave the corresponding hemiacetals 18 and 20. The mechanism of the thermolysis of the dihydrothiadiazoles 2 and 3, and the thiiranes 9 and 12 is discussed.

Furthermore, enantiomerically pure aldehydes 23 can be obtained from α-substituted N-acylbornane-10,2-sultams 6 via a one-step reduction with (i-Bu)2AIH. No epimerization at the α-chiral center is observed during the cleavage reaction whereby the chiral auxiliary, bornane-10,2-sultam 1 or ent-l, was recovered. By using this methodology, several natural products or precursors thereof can be prepared.

    Notes: Benzo[a]heptalene has been synthesized by two different approaches. The first one follows a pathway to hexahydrobenzo[a]heptalenone 19a that has been already described by Wenkert and Kim(Scheme). Indeed, 19a was obtained in a mixture with its double-bond-shifted isomer 19b. Reduction of this mixture to the corresponding secondary alcohols 26a/26b and elimination of H2O lead to a mixture of the tetrahydrobenzo[a]heptalenes 23a-d (Scheme7 and 8). Reaction of 23a-d with 2 equiv. of triphenylmethylium tetrafluoroborate in boiling CHCl3, followed by treatment with Me3N in CH2Cl2, generated directly 2, unfortunately in a mixture with Ph3CH that could not be separated from 2 (Scheme 10 and 11). The second approach via dimethyl benzo[a]heptalene-6,7-dicarboxylate (30) (Scheme 12) that was gradually transformed into the corresponding carbaldehydes 37 and 43 (Scheme 14) both of which, on treatment with the Wilkinson catalyst [RhCl(PPh3)3] at 130° in toluene, smoothly decarbonylated, finally gave pure 2 as an unstable orange, viscous oil. UV/VIS, NMR, and mass spectra of 2 are discussed in detail (cf. Chapt.3).

    Notes: The stereochemistry of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides derived from aromatic aldehydes and i-proline alkyl esters with several nitroolefins was investigated. Cyclic and acyclic nitroolefins add to the anti form of the ylide in a highly diastereoselective but poorly regioselective manner to give pyrrolizidine derivatives. In a few cases, the stereochemical results strongly support a stepwise mechanism.
