    Notes: Summary Hairy roots of Brassica napus (rape cv. Giant) were produced by cocultivating leaf and cotyledon explants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T. The hairy roots grew prolifically on solid and in liquid media. Incorporation of ammonium sulphate or phosphinothricin (PPT) into the media reduced growth. PPT treatment reduced glutamine synthetase (GS) activity and increased the ammonia content of the hairy roots. We have found that PPT treatment also induces a loss of glutamine from the roots and this may influence root growth. To test this we grew hairy roots in a liquid medium containing 10 mM glutamine. This glutamine treatment overcame the PPT induced suppression of growth but also significantly increased GS activity, reduced ammonia accumulation and increased the levels of glutamate and asparagine.

    Notes: Abstract Hordothionins (HTHs) are small anti-bacterial proteins present in barley endosperm which are processed from larger precursor proteins, consisting of an amino-terminal signal peptide (SP), the mature highly basic HTH and a carboxy-terminal acidic peptide (AP). Different HTH precursor proteins were expressed in tobacco to study the effects of the pre-sequences (SP) and pro-sequences (AP) on expression, processing, sorting and biological activity and hence the feasibility of engineering bacterial disease resistance into crops which lack these proteins. Maximum HTH expression levels of approximately 0.7% (11 μmol/kg) of total soluble protein in young tobacco leaves were obtained using a semi-synthetic gene construct encoding a complete chimaeric HTH precursor protein. Tenfold lower HTH expression levels (maximum 1.3 μmol/kg) were obtained using synthetic gene constructs without the AP-coding sequence and no expression was found in plants containing synthetic HTH gene constructs without SP-and AP-coding sequences. In both cases where expression was found, the precursors were apparently correctly processed, although the HTH produced in plants containing a construct without AP sequence appeared to be slightly modified. No effect on plant phenotype was observed. Localization studies indicated that the HTH was in identical fractions of plants expressing the two different precursors, albeit at a different ratio, and was not secreted into the intercellular spaces of leaves or culture medium by protoplasts. Our results indicated that the AP is not involved in sorting and suggested that it might facilitate transport through membranes. The in vitro toxicity of HTH isolated from transgenic tobacco plants expressing the two different precursor proteins for the bacterial plant pathogen Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis appeared similar to that of the HTH purified from barley endosperm.

    Notes: Abstract An antisense approach was used to attempt to determine the function of the highly abundant, tapetum-specific A9 transcript in microsporogenesis. A Brassica napus A9 cDNA clone was linked in sense and antisense orientations to the Arabidopsis thaliana A9 promoter and the resulting chimaeric genes introduced into B. napus. A high proportion of the offspring of B. napus antisense A9 plants had very low or undetectable levels of A9 mRNA. However, these plants set seed and had pollen of normal or near normal viability. Therefore, under the conditions studied, the A9 protein appears not to be essential for male fertility in B. napus.

    Notes: Abstract Dehiscence of oilseed rape pods, commonly known as pod shatter, is a process of agronomic importance that results in seed loss causing yield reductions and carry-over of the crop into the following growing season. In an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying this developmental event, the changes in gene expression that accompany pod shatter have been examined with a view to understanding how the process is regulated. In order to achieve this, a cDNA library was constructed using mRNA extracted from the dehiscence zone of developing pods. Differential screening with non-dehiscence zone cDNA led to the isolation of a pod-specific clone, SAC25, with a transcript size of 1100 nucleotide encoding a predicted polypeptide of 34 kDa. The level of SAC25 mRNA accumulation increased during pod development. The sequence shows no significant homology to others within the databases but has two identifiable amino acid motifs, one is an adenine nucleotide binding site for NAD/FAD dehydrogenases and the other is a conserved feature of the ribitol dehydrogenase family. The amino acid sequence has four putative glycosylation sites and contains four cysteine residues. Genomic Southern analysis indicates that SAC25 may be encoded by a single gene or a small gene family. The function of this mRNA is unknown but possible roles in dehiscence and pod development are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In Brassica napus, oleosins are expressed at high levels in the seed during the latter stages of embryo development. The cis-acting regulatory properties of an 872 bp promoter fragment of a B. napus oleosin gene were examined by analysis of β-glucuronidase (GUS) expression in transgenic tobacco plants containing an oleosin promoter-GUS transcriptional fusion. The reporter gene was expressed at high levels only in seeds, specifically in embryo and endosperm tissue and regulated throughout seed development. These data demonstrate that oleosin gene transcription is regulated in a tissue-specific and temporally regulated manner and clearly indicate that oleosin protein expression is co-ordinated primarily at the transcriptional level. Oleosin mRNA was shown to be abscisic acid (ABA) inducible and an ABA-response element in the oleosin promoter was shown to be bound by a protein factor in a sequence-specific manner. Sequence analysis of the oleosin promoter has identified several other putative cis-acting sequences which may direct oleosin gene expression. The presence of a large open reading frame in the bottom strand of the oleosin promoter (ORF2) which encodes a polypeptide similar to the ethylene-induced E4 gene of tomato is reported. A PCR-generated DNA probe containing the ORF2 sequence hybridised with a 1.4 kb transcript in total RNA extracts of a variety of tissues, including leaves and germinated seed cotyledons. This finding suggests that the oleosin gene promoter directs transcription in both directions. It is the first report of a bi-directional nuclear gene promoter in plants.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of mRNA and the steady-state levels of two-component enzymes of plant fatty acid synthetase (FAS) were studied. Northern analysis of enoyl-ACP reductase (ER) and stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SD) gene expression showed that steady-state levels of both transcripts increase during lipid deposition in the seed reaching a maximum at 29 days after flowering (DAF). The steady-state level of ER message falls very quickly after reaching its maximum, whereas the SD message is longer-lived. The levels of these specific mRNAs in seed are 15–30 times greater than in leaf. Optimum mRNA expression precedes the maximum levels of synthesis of the two proteins, which in turn precede the maximum level of oil. The expression of isoenzymes of ER were examined by two-dimensional western blotting in both leaf and seed tissue. Four enzymes are expressed in both of these tissues; the two most abundant isoforms in seed material are also the most abundant in leaf tissue.

    Notes: Abstract To manipulate the quantity and quality of storage components in Brassica napus seeds, we have constructed an antisense gene for the storage protein napin. The antisense gene was driven by the 5′-flanking region of the B. napus napin gene to express antisense RNA in a seed-specific manner. Seeds of transgenic plants with antisense genes often contained reduced amounts of napin. In some transgenic plants, no accumulation of napin was observed. However, the total protein content of transgenic and wild-type seeds did not differ significantly. Seeds lacking napin accumulated 1.4 to 1.5 times more cruciferin than untransformed seeds, although the oleosin content was not affected. Fatty acid content and composition in the seeds of transgenic plants were also analyzed by gas chromatography. Though the total fatty acid content of the transformants was the same as that of non-transformants, there was a reduction in 18:1 contents and a concomitant increase of 18:2 in seeds with reduced napin levels. This observed change in fatty acid composition was inherited in the next generation.

    Notes: Abstract A cDNA clone (bra) encoding a small GTP-binding protein was isolated from Brassica napus by screening a root cDNA library with a degenerate oligonucleotide probe that corresponds to a highly conserved GTP-binding domain of the Ras superfamily. Sequence analysis shows that the clone contains an open reading frame of 219 amino acid residues with the estimated molecular mass of 24379 Da and this coding region contains all the conserved motifs of the Ras superfamily. The deduced amino acid sequence of the bra gene is most closely related to the Ypt/Rab family that functions in the vesicular transport (46% and 47% amino acid identity to the yeast Ypt1 and to the human Rab1, respectively) and is more distantly related to the other Ras-related families. The protein encoded by the bra gene, when expressed in Escherichia coli, shows the ability to bind GTP. Furthermore, when the bra gene is introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the regulation of the yeast GAL1 promoter, the gene can complement the temperature-sensitive yeast mutation ypt1-1 that has defects in vesicular transport function. The amino acid sequence similarity and the functional complementation of the yeast mutation suggest that this gene is likely to be involved in the vesicular transport in plants. Genomic Southern analysis shows that this gene is a member of a small gene family in Brassica napus.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) retrotransposon Tntl has previously been shown to be strongly regulated and driven from the 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR). We report here that the Tntl LTR can promote activity of the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in two heterologous species of the Brassicaceae family, namely rapessed (Brassica napus) and Arabidopsis thaliana. The translational LTR-GUS fusion was active in transient expression studies performed with tobacco and rapeseed protoplasts, indicating that the LTR sequences are recognized in heterologous species. Our results also showed that Tntl LTR-promoted GUS expression in transgenic Arabidopsis is strongly regulated, and that, in contrast to tobacco, hormonal activation plays a significant role in the expression of the Tntl LTR in Arabidopsis. LTR sequences were shown to be more effective than the CaMV 35S enhancer region in transient expression studies performed with tobacco or rapessed protoplasts; and substitution of the LTR sequences upstream from the major transcriptional start with the CaMV 35S enhancer region gave high levels of expression in transgenic tobacco and Arabidopsis leaves, suggesting that a Tntl element with similar substitutions in its 5′ LTR might be suited for gene-tagging experiments in heterologous species.

    Notes: Abstract A partial cDNA clone, Pis 63, corresponding to a mRNA highly expressed in Brassica napus pistils, was isolated by differential screening. PCR was used to complete the Pis 63 sequence (Pis 63-1) and to obtain the sequence of another related cDNA (Pis 63-2). Northern blot and in situ analyses demonstrated that these transcripts are expressed in the stigma throughout flower development. Pis 63-1 and Pis 63-2 display similarity to a cotton fibre cDNA clone.

    Notes: Abstract To explore the feasibility of employing antibodies to obtain disease resistance against plant root pathogens, we have studied the expression of genes encoding antibodies in roots of transgenic plants. A model monoclonal antibody was used that binds to a fungal cutinase. Heavy and light chain cDNAs were amplified by PCR, fused to a signal sequence for secretion and cloned behind CaMV 35S and TR2′ promoters in a single T-DNA. The chimeric genes were cloned both in tandem and in a divergent orientation. The roots of tobacco plants transformed with these constructs produced antibodies that were able to bind antigen in an ELISA. Immunoblotting showed assembly to a full-size antibody. In addition, a F(ab′)2-like fragment was observed, which is probably formed by proteolytic processing. Both antibody species were properly targeted to the apoplast, but the full-size antibody was partially retained by the wall of suspension cells. The construct with divergent promoters showed a better performance than the construct with promoters in tandem. It directed the accumulation of functional antibodies to a maximum of 1.1% of total soluble protein, with half of the plants having levels higher than 0.35%. The high efficiency of this construct probably results from coordinated and balanced expression of light and heavy chain genes, as evidenced by RNA blot hybridization.

    Notes: Abstract Brassica napus cv. Topas microspores can be diverted from pollen development toward haploid embryo formation in culture by subjecting them to a heat stress treatment. We show that this switch in developmental pathways is accompanied by the induction of high levels of napin seed storage protein gene expression. Changes in the plant growth or microspore culture conditions were not by themselves sufficient to induce napin gene expression. Specific members of the napin multigene family were cloned from a cDNA library prepared from microspores that had been induced to undergo embryogenesis. The majority of napin clones represented three members (BnmNAP2, BnmNAP3 and BnmNAP4) that, along with a previously isolated napin genomic clone (BngNAP1), constitute the highly conserved BnmNAP subfamily of napin genes. Both RNA gel blot analysis, using a subfamily-specific probe, and histochemical analysis of transgenic plants expressing a BngNAP1 promoter-β-glucuronidase gene fusion demonstrated that the BnmNAP subfamily is expressed in embryogenic microspores as well as during subsequent stages of microsporic embryo development.

    Notes: Abstract Transgenic, fertile barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) from the Finnish elite cultivar Kymppi was obtained by particle bombardment of immature embryos. Immature embryos were bombarded to the embryonic axis side and grown to plants without selection. Neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) activity was screened in small plantlets. One out of a total of 227 plants expressed the transferred nptII gene. This plant has until now produced 98 fertile spikes (T0), and four of the 90 T0 spikes analyzed to date contained the nptII gene. These shoots were further analyzed and they expressed the transferred gene. From green grains, embryos were isolated and grown to plantlets (T1). The four transgenic shoots of Toivo (the T0 plant) produced 25 plantlets as T1 progeny. Altogether fifteen of these T1 plants carried the transferred nptII gene as detected with the PCR technique, fourteen of which expressed the nptII gene. The integration and inheritance of the transferred nptII gene was confirmed by Southern blot hybridization. Although present as several copies, the transferred gene was inherited as a single Mendelian locus into the T2 progeny.

    Notes: Abstract A cDNA encoding an acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) homologue has been cloned from a λgt11 library made from mRNA isolated from developing seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The derived amino acid sequence reveals a protein 92 amino acids in length which is highly conserved when compared with ACBP sequences from yeast, cow, man and fruit fly. Southern blot analysis ofBrassica napus genomic DNA revealed the presence of 6 genes, 3 derived from theBrassica rapa parent and 3 fromBrassica oleracea. Northern blot analysis showed that ACBP genes are expressed strongly in developing embryo, flowers and cotyledons of seedlings and to a lesser extent in leaves and roots.

    Notes: Summary Hairy roots of Brassica napus (rape cv. Giant) have been produced that contain the cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS) gene from Glycine max (soybean). Leaf explants were cocultivated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T harbouring the binary vector pLN16. This vector was constructed by inserting a soybean cytosolic GS cDNA into the multiple cloning site of pGA643, placing it under the control of the CaMV promoter. In addition, the T-DNA region of pLN16 contained a NPTII gene for selection of transformed cells. Transgenic hairy roots grew prolifically on hormone-free media containing a selective level of kanamycin. Southern and northern analyses confirmed the presence of soybean GS DNA and transcripts, respectively. These transformed hairy roots also have a greater abundance of the GS polypeptide, approximately 3–6 fold greater GS activity and lower levels of endogenous ammonia. Hairy roots provide a useful system for studying responses to phosphinothricin (PPT). Hairy roots grown in media containing PPT had lower GS activity, greater ammonia accumulation and slower growth than controls. The presence of the soybean GS gene in the hairy roots reduced these PPT-induced effects and resulted in higher GS activity, lower ammonia levels and faster growth than in PPT-treated controls. Greater tolerance of PPT was also seen in shoots regenerated from the hairy roots displaying elevated levels of GS activity.

    Notes: Abstract RAPDs (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) were used to discriminate among 23 cultivars of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) selected from several breeding programs. A set of 100 random sequence 10-mer primers were tested, of which 70 produced bands and 22 showed evidence of polymorphism. A selection of six primers produced 23 polymorphic bands of between 300 to 2200 base pairs in size, sufficient to distinguish between the cultivars. An analysis of seed of five cultivars obtained from four different sites showed stability of banding pattern over source of seed. The analysis was repeated using four different thermocyclers, each of which produced the same band pattern. UPGMA cluster analysis indicates that the relationships among some of the cultivars is closer for those from the same breeding program than for those from different programs. The results of this study show that RAPDs can be used as a method of identification for oilseed rape cultivars.

    Notes: Abstract RFLP and RAPD markers were evaluated and compared for their ability to determine genetic relationships in a set of three B. napus breeding lines. Using a total of 50 RFLP and 92 RAPD markers, the relatedness between the lines was determined. In total, the RFLP and the RAPD analysis revealed more than 500 and 400 bands, respectively. The relative frequencies of loci with allele differences were estimated from the band data. The RFLP and RAPD marker sets detected very similar relationships among the three lines, consistent with known pedigree data. Bootstrap analyses showed that the use of approximately 30 probes or primers would have been sufficient to achieve these relationships. This indicates that RAPD markers have the same resolving power as RFLP markers when used on exactly the same set of B. napus genotypes. Since RAPD markers are easier and quicker to use, these markers may be preferred in applications where the relationships between closely-related breeding lines are of interest. The use of RAPD markers in fingerprinting applications may, however, not be warranted, and this is discussed in relation to the reliability of RAPD markers.

    Notes: Abstract Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is an important oilseed crop worldwide. Cultivars have been developed for many growing regions, however little is known about genetic diversity inB. napus germ plasm. The purpose of the research presented here was to study the genetic diversity and relationships ofB. napus accessions using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Eighty threeB. napus accessions were screened using 43 genomic DNA clones which revealed 161 polymorphic fragments. Each accession was uniquely identified by the markers with the exception of the near-isogenic cvs ‘Triton’ and ‘Tower’. The RFLP data were analyzed by cluster analysis of similarity coefficients and by principal component analysis. Overall, there were three major groups of cultivars. The first group included only spring accessions, the second mostly winter accessions and the third, rutabagas and oilseed rape accessions from China and Japan. These results indicate that withinB. napus, winter and spring cultivars represent genetically distinct groups. The grouping of accessions by cluster analysis was generally consistent with known pedigrees. This consistency included the grouping of lines derived both by backcrossing or self-pollination with their parents.

    Notes: Abstract Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to the restorer gene (Rfo) used in theOgura radish cytoplasmic male sterility of rapeseed. A total of 138 arbitrary 10-mer oligonucleotide primers were screened on the DNA of three pairs of bulks, each bulk corresponding to homozygous restored and male sterile plants of three segregating populations. Six primers produced repeatable polymorphisms between paired bulks. DNA from individual plants of each bulk was then used as a template for amplification with these six primers. DNA polymorphisms generated by four of these primers were found to be completely linked to the restorer gene with the polymorphic DNA fragments being associated either with the fertility restorer allele or with the sterility maintainer allele. Pairwise cross-hybridization demonstrated that the four polymorphic DNA fragments did not share any homology. Southern hybridization of labelled RAPD fragments on digested genomic DNA from the same three pairs of bulks revealed fragments specific to either the male sterile bulks or to the restored bulks and a few fragments common to all bulks, indicating that the amplified sequences are low copy. The four RAPD fragments that were completely linked to the restorer locus have been cloned and sequenced to develop sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs). This will facilitate the construction of restorer lines used in breeding programs and is the first step towards map-based cloning of the fertility restorer allele.

    Notes: Abstract We have developed an efficient PCR-based system that uses RAPD markers for the certification of F1 hybrids of canola. These markers were selected by screening five parental lines used in three crosses X, Y and Z with 131, 131 and 322 primers respectively. Stable DNA fragments that were homozygous and specific to the male inbreds were used to certify F1 hybrid populations. The hybrid production system was based on self-incompatibility (SI) alleles that prevent self-pollination of the female parent. The efficiency of two S-alleles was compared under both field and greenhouse conditions. The percentage of hybridity was estimated in different F1 populations. We found a significant difference between the two alleles for their efficiency in controlling selfing; both alleles were stable under greenhouse conditions, one allele appeared less reliable under field conditions.

    Notes: Abstract The combined use of doubled haploid lines and molecular markers can provide new genetic information for use in breeding programs. An F1-derived doubled haploid (DH) population of Brassica napus obtained from a cross between an annual canola cultivar (‘Stellar’) and a biennial rapeseed (‘Major’) was used to construct a linkage map of 132 restriction fragment length polymorphism loci. The marker loci were arranged into 22 linkage groups and six pairs of linked loci covering 1016 cM. The DH map was compared to a partial map constructed with a common set of markers for an F2 population derived from the same F1 plant, and the overall maps were not significantly different. Comparisons of maps in Brassica species suggest that less recombination occurs in B. napus (n = 19) than expected from the combined map distances of the two hypothesized diploid progenitors, B. oleracea (n = 9) and B. rapa (n=10). A high percentage (32%) of segregating marker loci were duplicated in the DH map, and conserved linkage arrangements of some duplicated loci indicated possible intergenome homoeology in the amphidiploid or intragenome duplications from the diploid progenitors. Deviation from Mendelian segregation ratios (P 〈 0.05) was observed for 30% of the marker loci in the DH population and for 24% in the F2 population. Deviation towards each parent occurred at equal frequencies in both populations and marker loci that showed deviation clustered in specific linkage groups. The DH lines and molecular marker map generated for this study can be used to map loci for agronomic traits segregating in this population.

    Notes: Abstract Rapeseed plants, of the summer annual variety Topas, that had been selfed twice consecutively were compared to outcrossed half-sibs for inbreeding depression in a rapeseed population at mating equilibrium. The effect of dominance-suppression competition was included in the effect of inbreeding. Both female-and male-fitness characters showed significant inbreeding depression. Biomass decreased 17% with inbreeding and was highly correlated with seed weight. The total number of flowers decreased 15% with inbreeding. There was a significant effect of lines. The possible importance of experimental design in studies that estimate inbreeding depression is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The cytological possibility of gene transfer from Sinapis pubescens to Brassica napus was investigated. Intergeneric hybrids between Brassica napus (2n = 38) and Sinapis pubescens (2n = 18) were produced through ovary culture. The F1 hybrids were dihaploid and the chromosome configurations were (0–1) III + (2–11) II + (5–24) I . One F2 plant with 38 chromosomes was obtained from open pollination of the F1 hybrid. Thirty-one seeds were obtained from the backcross of the F2 plant with B. napus. Five out of seven plants had 38 chromosomes, and the pollen stainability ranged from 0% to 81.4%. In the B2 plants obtained from the backcross of B1 plants with B. napus, 66.7% of the plants examined had 38 chromosomes. S. pubescens may become a gene source for the improvement of B. napus.

    Notes: Abstract Before novel transgenic plant genotypes are grown outside containment facilities and evaluated under field conditions, it is necessary to complete a risk assessment to consider the possible consequences of that release. An important aspect of risk assessment is to consider the likelihood and consequences of the transgene being transferred by cross-pollination to related species, including other crops, weeds and ruderal populations. The purpose of this report is to review the literature to assess the ease with whichBrassica napus can hybridize with related species. The evidence for hybridization is considered at three levels: a) by open pollination, b) by hand pollination and c) by the use ofin vitro ovule and embryo rescue techniques; and also examines the fertility and vigour of the F1, F2 and backcross generations. Four species are reported to hybridize withB. napus by open pollination:B. rapa andB. juncea using fully fertile parents; andB. adpressa andR. raphanistrum using a male-sterileB. napus parent. Seventeen species are reported to form hybrids (including the four species above) withB. napus when pollination is carried out manually. At least 12 of these species were unable to form F2 progeny, and eight were unable to produce progeny when the F1 was backcrossed to one of the parental species. Many factors will influence the success of hybridization under field conditions, including: distance between the parents, synchrony of flowering, method of pollen spread, specific parental genotypes used, direction of the cross and the environmental conditions. Even where there is a possibility of hybridization betweenB. napus and a related species growing in the vicinity of a release, poor vigour and high sterility in the hybrids will generally mean that hybrids and their progeny will not survive in either an agricultural or natural habitat.

    Notes: Summary The organization of actin microfilaments (MFs) was studied during pollen development ofBrassica napus cv. Topas. Cells were prepared using three techniques and double labelled for fluorescence microscopy with rhodamine-labelled phalloidin for MFs and Hoechst 33258 for DNA. Microfilaments are present at all stages of pollen development with the exception of tricellular pollen just prior to anthesis. Unicellular microspores contain MFs which radiate from the surface of the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm. During mitosis MFs form a network partially surrounding the mitotic apparatus and extend into the cytoplasm. Both cytoplasmic and phragmoplast-associated MFs are present during cytokinesis. Nuclear associated-, cytoplasmic, and randomly oriented cortical MFs appear in the vegetative cell of the bicellular microspore. Cortical MFs in the vegetative cell organize into parallel MF bundles (MFBs) aligned transverse to the furrows. The MFBs disappear prior to microspore elongation. At anthesis MFs are restricted to the cortical areas subjacent to the furrows of the vegetative cell. The use of cytochalasin D to disrupt MF function resulted in: (1) displacement of the acentric nucleus in the unicellular microspore; (2) displacement of the spindle apparatus in the mitotic cell; (3) symmetrical growth of the bicellular microspore rather than elongation and (4) inhibition of pollen tube germination in the mature pollen grain. This suggests that MFs play an important role in anchoring the nucleus in the unicellular microspore as well as the spindle apparatus during microspore mitosis, in microspore shape determination and in pollen tube germination.

    Notes: Summary Improved oil, protein and fibre contents are associated with light seed colour in rapeseed but the lack of reliable and efficient methods to measure seed colour has hindered breeding efforts for this trait. The feasibility of using light reflectance to assess seed colour in Brassica napus was examined using scanning light reflectance spectrophotometry and near infrared reflectance (NIR). Light reflectance by seed samples from 30 doubled haploid (DH) lines segregating for seed colour increased as the wavelength of the illuminating light in the scanning spectrophotometer increased between 550 and 650 nm. The largest reflectance values were measured for the yellow seed samples; the brown seed samples were intermediate and the black seed samples had the lowest reflectance values. The areas under the reflectance curves were used to transform the spectra to single values. Average light reflectance area values for the seed colour classes were significantly different from each other. The DHs and their corresponding light reflectance area values were also used to calibrate a NIR analyzer modified with 670 and 710 nm filters. The best calibration curve used three wavelengths (670, 2190 and 2208 nm) and had a multiple correlation coefficient of 0.987. Light reflectance area values determined with the calibrated NIR analyzer for 30 randomly selected breeding lines could be used to categorize the colour of the seed samples with no discrepancies between the visual and instrument classifications. The results indicate that NIR can be used to assess seed colour in rapeseed.

    Notes: Abstract Foliar treatment of oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus L.ssp. napus cv. Linetta) with the growth retardant BAS 111..W at the 5th leaf stage delayed pod senescence during early maturation. Changes of immunoreactive cytokinin- and abscisic acid (ABA)- like substances and of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclo-propane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and its malonyl-conjugate (MACC) were determined in intact whole pods. When compared with control plants, higher levels of total chlorophyll correlated with four-fold and three-fold increases of trans-zeatin riboside- and dihydrozeatin riboside-type cytokinins, respectively, in the pods of plants treated with 0.25 mg BAS 111..W per plant. Isopentenyladenosine-type cytokinins and ACC and MACC contents remained virtually unchanged, whereas ABA levels dropped considerably below those of controls (60% reduction). However, when analysed at late pod maturity, BAS 111..W treatment no longer affected the total chlorophyll content, or the levels of cytokinins, ABA, ACC and MACC. We hypothesize that the retardant-induced changes in the hormonal status of the pods, favouring the senescence-delaying cytokinins as opposed to abscisic acid, could contribute to the developmental delay.

    Notes: Summary Self-incompatibility was shown to be an effective method of pollination control in spring rapeseed (B. napus L. ssp. oleifera (Metzg.)) by comparing the yield of a Westar-Topas syn-1 produced by crossing two SI lines with the yield of the corresponding syn-1 produced by hand pollination. Although the trial showed high-parent heterosis in the syn-1s, there was insufficient replication to determine the level of heterosis.

    Notes: Summary The effect of colchicine on isolated microspore cultures of Brassica napus was evaluated in order to combine a positive effect of colchicine on the induction of embryogenesis with the possibility to induce chromosome doubling at an early developmental stage, thus avoiding the production of haploid or chimeric plants. Colchicine was added to the culture medium immediately after isolation of B. napus microspores. The cultures were incubated from 6 to 72 h with various concentrations of colchicine. Samples were taken from the regenerating embryoids after 6 weeks for ploidy determination by flow-cytometry. The highest diploidization rate was obtained after a 24 h treatment of microspores with 50 mg/l colchicine, leading to 80–90% diploid embroids. A concentration of 100 mg/l colchicine applied for the same duration resulted in a lower diploidization rate (76–80%). Treatment durations of 6 h were not long enough to induce a high rate of diploidization, whereas the application of 10 mg/l for 72 h was also very effective. A sample of the plants regenerated from the colchicine treated microspores was transferred to the greenhouse. The plants looked similar to normal diploid rapeseed plants and showed reasonable pod and seed set. Thus, an additional generation for seed increase in the greenhouse is rendered unnecessary. The advantage of applying a minimum volume of colchicine under controlled in vitro conditions means a considerable saving of time and labour in DH-breeding programs.

    Notes: β-Nitrostyrene derivatives of adenosine 5′-glutarates are potent and selective bisubstrate-type inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinase (EGF-R PTK). In an attempt to improve the inhibitory activity, this type of compounds was modified with alkyl spacers of varying length between the nitrostyrene and the glutaryl units. The spacers consisted of 1, 3, 4, and 5 atoms to give compounds of the benzyl, oxyethyl, oxypropyl, and oxybutyl series, respectively (Schemes 1 and 2). Adenosine 5′-esters were prepared in the benzyl and oxypropyl series only. Compared to the compounds in the parent series without spacer (IC50 = 0.7-12 μM), most of the modified compounds inhibited the EGF-R PTK only marginally or were inactive (IC50 ≥ 100 μM). The only exceptions were the free acids 19 and 20 with IC50 values of ca. 5 μM. It is noteworthy that esterification of these two hydrogen glutarates with either MeOH or adenosine yielded inactive compounds, which is in contrast to the corresponding substances without spacers.

    Notes: The conversion of the conformation of cyclosporin A (CsA) observed in CHCl3 to the receptor-bound state is investigated by two molecular-mechanics methods, template forcing and dynamic forcing. The conformations of CsA in CHCl3 and complexed with LiCl in THF as determined by NMR are used as starting structures. The transition starting from the CsA/CHCl3-derived conformation is hindered by steric interactions of two side chains (MeBmt1 and Val5). While starting with the CsA/LiCl-derived conformation, the conversion is facile. It is illustrated that these calculations, which are of artificial character, using only the starting and final structures of the observed conformational transition during the receptor-binding event, allow an insight into the interactions between the substrates and receptor in terms of an induced fit.

    Notes: The transfer properties of the ionic species involved in the Williamson ether synthesis by phase-transfer catalysis were investigated using electrochemical techniques developed for the study of polarised liquid/liquid interfaces. This approach allows the measurement of the apparent partition coefficients of the transferring species. From these data, it is proposed that the role of the phase-transfer catalyst salt in the reaction mechanism is to establish a Galvani distribution potential difference between the two phases which in turn acts as the driving force for transferring the reactive aqueous ions to the organic phase.

    Notes: Solutions (2 ml) of small linear and cyclic peptides (4-11), of a peptolide containing nine amino acids and a lactate moiety (12), of the cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CS, 1), and of the macrolides ascomycin, fujimycin, and rapamycin (13-15) in THF were added to excess LiCl, LiBr, or LiClO4 (up to 3000 equiv. in 40 ml THF) in a calorimeter (calorimetric titration). The enthalpies of interaction measured are in the range of ΔH = -8 to -37 kcal/mol. A similar experiment was carried out with one of the binding proteins of cyclosporin, the human cyclophilin A, to give the thermodynamic parameters for the complexation ΔH = -16, ΔG° = -10 kcal/mol, and ΔS° = -20 cal/mol·deg. at 25° which corresponds to an equilibrium constant K = 2·107 l/mol, in good agreement with the result of independent measurements using different methods. NMR Measurements of the macrolides in (D8)THF containing LiCl show strong down-field shifts of signals of the H-atoms next to C=O and C-OH groups in these molecules.

    Notes: The 17O-NMR signals of four true C-nitroso compounds 1-4 appear at particularly low field (1550-1265 ppm), whereas the dimers (azodioxy type) resonate at ca. 400 ppm and the ‘isonitroso compounds’ ( = quinone-oximes; 5 and 6) at ca. 250 ppm. S-Nitroso compounds ( = thionitrites; 8 and 9) show shift values of ca. 1300 ppm, not far from C - NO; the NO+ ion is much stronger shielded (474 ppm). The results, together with those for higher-shielded nitroso compounds X - NO (X = RO, R2N, Cl, O-) are discussed in terms of (a) resonance stabilization through n-donation from X(π-bond order, approximated by the known barriers of rotation around the X - N bond) and of (b) electronic excitation energies ΔE. The latter are approximated by long-wave (symmetry-forbidden) UV/VIS absorptions and confirmed, where available, by the maxima of the curves of circular dichroism (CD); the CD curve of thionitrite 9 has been measured. It is found that the δ(17O) values of X - NO depend both on bond order and on ΔE, which could not be separated. The higher shielding of NO+ compared with X - N=O is explained on the basis of anisotropy effects, which differ between sp and sp2 systems.

    Notes: A new and generally applicable synthetic path for the preparation of heteroditopic bis-macrocycles using tri-N-protected tetraazacycloalkanes as building blocks and bromoacetyl bromide as bridging reagent is described. In the first step, bromoacetyl bromide is used as acylating agent for one of the macrocycles, whereas in the second step it is used as alkylating agent for the second macrocycle, thus giving protected bis-macrocyclic amides (e.g. 6). After reduction of the amide moiety and deprotection, bis-azamacrocycles with an ethylene bridge are obtained (e.g. 8). The corresponding homoditopic bis-macrocycles 16 and 17 are also prepared for comparison purpose. Spectrophotometric studies indicate that bis-macrocycle 8, which consists of a 12- and a 14-membered ring, binds two metal ions with equal affinity, whereas compound 13, in which an unsubstituted (cyclam) and a trimethyl-substituted tetraazacyclotetradecane unit (Me3cyclam) are bridged, shows selective metal-ion binding. The first metal ion is always incorporated into the cyclam unit, whereas the second one binds to the Me3cyclam macrocycle. Thus, by sequential addition of two different metal ions, heterobinuclear complexes can easily be prepared. The electrochemistry of the binuclear Ni2+ complexes, studied by CV and DPV, as well as the EPR spectra of the binuclear Cu2+ complexes clearly indicate metal-metal interactions.

    Notes: A series of ceramides, called oceanapins A-F (2-7), which are unique for branching at both the sphingosine and fatty-acid chains, have been isolated as pure compounds from the haplosclerid sponge Oceanapia cf. tenuis of the Coral Sea. Following acid hydrolysis, both the fatty-acid and the sphingosine portions were obtained separately, which allowed their unequivocal structural definition. The absolute configuration was secured via protection of C(1′)-OH and Mosher's esterification at C(3′)-OH of the oceanapins.

    Notes: The one-electron transfer to large π-delocalized hydrocarbons provides an interesting possibility to crystallize solvent-separated ion-pair salts containing optimally solvated cations. Accordingly, the reduction of 9,10-diphenylanthracene in aprotic THF solution at a sodium metal mirror allows to grow dark-blue prismatic crystals of its radical anion and sixfold THF-solvated sodium cation. The structure of the radical anion is very similar to that recently published for the neutral molecule. According to AM1 hypersurface calculations based on the structural data, the phenyl twist angles obviously must be determined by lattice packing, and the negative charge is delocalized predominantly within the anthracene π system. The counter cation [Na⊕(THF)6], reported ordered for the first time, shows nearly octahedral coordination within a rather densily packed solvent shell. Due to the strong repulsions between the solvent molecules, its isodesmically calculated solvation enthalpy is smaller than that of the analogous dimethoxyethane complex [Na⊕(DME)3].

    Notes: 14N- and 1H-Coupling constants, determined by ESR, ENDOR, and general-TRIPLE-resonance spectroscopy, are reported for the radical cations of tetrazinodi(heteroarenes) 1-8. The results comply with the expectation that donor properties of these compounds are mainly due to the electron-rich dihydrotetrazine ring.

    Notes: The biphenyl-containing pseudo-amino acids 2′-(aminomethyl)biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (Abc; 1) and 2′-(aminomethyl)biphenyl-2-acetic acid (Aba; 2) are used as rigid spacers in the backbone of the cyclic peptides cyclo (-Abc-Ala-Phe-Gly-)2 (5), cyclo(-Abc-Ala-Val-Gly-)2 (6), cyclo(-Aba-Gly-Phe-Ala-)2 (7), and cyclo(-Aba-Ala-Phe-Gly-)2(8). Three different interconverting diastereoisomers are found in solutions of each of these cyclopeptides due to the atropisomerism of the biphenyl units. NMR Techniques and molecular-dynamics calculations allow to conclude that the major diastereoisomer of 5 (and 6) in (D6)DMSO adopts a β-sheet conformation. It is proposed that the pseudo-amino acid 1 of (R)-chirality forms, with attached L-amino acids, a H-bonding pattern comparable to a β-turn (see D in Fig. 4 and F).

    Notes: Vitamin-B12-Catalyzed C, C-Bond Formation: Synthesis of Jasmonates via Sequential Radical ReactionThe Cbl-catalyzed electroreduction of 3-(2′-bromo-1′-ethoxyethoxy)cyclopenten (1a) in presence of 1-cyanovinyl-acetate (8) gave, in a sequential radical reaction (5-exo-trig-cyclization of 1a followed by addition to 8), 1-cyano-2-(2′-ethoxy-hexahydro-2′H-cyclopenta[b] furan-4′-yl)ethyl acetate (10a). This intermediate was transformed to methyl jasmonate (7; four steps) and epituberolide (9; three steps) in 20 and 31% yield, respectively, from cyclopent-2-en-l-ol.

    Notes: The Synthesis of Azaisomers of the Triester of PQQ: 3H-Pyrrolo[3,2-f]-, 1H-Pyrrolo[3,2-h]-, and 7H-Pyrrolo[2,3-h]quinolinequinone DerivativesWe describe here the synthesis of the title compounds 3-5, starting from highly substituted aminoindoles. The annelated pyridine rings were built up in each case with dimethyl 4-oxoglutaconate according to Corey's procedure. All three o-quinone derivatives 3-5 are stable compounds, comparable to PQQ-triester. The azaisomers vary in biological activity from practically inactive to strong inhibition of the α-amidating enzyme or the ornithin decarboxylase.

The structure of the new racemic 1,2-dihydroquinolines 1-18 is determined by NMR spectroscopy. A reaction mechanism proceeding via a 6π-electrocyclic rearrangement of 2-(1-phenylvinyl)anils 19 as the key step is proposed for the formation of these compounds (Scheme 1). The scope and limitations of the novel methods are discussed (Scheme 2).

    Notes: The 2′-deoxyisoguanosine (1) was synthesized by a two-step procedure from 2′-deoxyguanosine (5). Amination of silylated 2′-deoxyguanosine yielded 2-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine (6) which was subjected to selective deamination of the 2-NH2 group resulting in compound 1. Also 2′,3′-dideoxyisoguanosine (2) was prepared employing the photo-substitution of the 2-substituent of 2-chloro-2′,3′-dideoxyadenosine (4). The latter was synthesized by Barton deoxygenation from 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (3) or via glycosylation of 2,6-dichloropurine (12) with the lactol 13. Compound 1 was less stable at the N-glycosylic bond than 2′-deoxyguanosine (5). The dideoxynucleoside 2 was deaminated by adenosine deaminase affording 2′,3′-dideoxyxanthosine (17).

Particularly hemiacetal 7, but also 6 and the ‘dimer’ 8 (obtained from 7) may serve as homochiral auxiliaries. The structure of 8 was determined by X-ray analysis. By arenesulfonyl halides, tryptimines 12-14 of 4 were diastereoselectively transformed into spirotricycles 15-17 and 19.

    Notes: A series of 2′-benzamido-2′-deoxyadenosine analogues were synthesized in an effort to find new lead structures for the treatment of sleeping sickness. The 2′-deoxy-2′-(3-methoxybenzamido)adenosine (1h) was proved to be a selective inhibitor of the parasite glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase which confirms the modeling studies. The solution-state conformation of 2′-(thiophene-2-carboxamido) analogue 1d demonstrates a 2′-endo conformation, an orientation of the thiophene ring under the ribose moiety, and the base part occupying a ‘syn’/‘anti’ equilibrium.

    Notes: The decomposition of cyclohexyl diazoacetate (5a) in the presence of the chiral [Rh2{(2S)-mepy}4] catalyst leads to a 3:1 cis/trans mixture of bicyclic lactone 6a with an enantiomeric excess of 95-97% (cis) and 90% (trans). The conformationally rigid tert-butyl derivatives 5b and 5c afford, in the presence of the same catalyst, 6b and 6c, respectively, via insertion into the equatorial C—H bonds exclusively, with ee's of ca. 95%. A remarkable degree of induction (92-95%) results in the lactone 6g upon decomposition of 1-isopropyl-2-methylpropyl diazoacetate (5g). The diazoacetates derived from 1-methylcyclohexanol, cyclopentanol and 1-methylcyclopentanol (5d-f) afford under similar conditions insertion products with higher diastereoselectivity, but significantly lower enantioselectivity. Other dirhodium catalysts are less efficient.

Hydrolysis of 2 affords a mixture of dithioacetal 5a and benzaldehyde 6; 1,6-addition of thiols to 2 gives the dithioacetals 5 of benzaldehyde 6; reaction of 2 with 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (= 2,2′-dimethyl-2,2′-azobis(propanenitrile)) leads to 9a, 9b, and 10, addition products of the 1-cyano-1-methylethyl radical. The structures of all products are confirmed mainly by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and the mode of their formation is discussed.

These calculations suggested the occurrence of two conformations for each compound characterized by different φ and Ψ glycosidic angles. However, 1H-NMR investigation of D2O solutions of 2-4 indicated a sure preference for one of the two conformers with a contribution of the other one ranging from negligible to low.

    Notes: The synthesis on solid phase of a new derivative of the anticoagulant protein hirudin is described (see Scheme and Fig.1, I). The henicosapeptide is a bivalent conjugate of the C-terminus of hirudin and of the active-site-binding tetrapeptide D-Phe-Pro-Arg-Pro linked via a tetraglycine spacer. The peptide, for which the name hirufos was coined, incorporates a stable phosphono derivative of L-phenylalanine which, combined with the other structural modifications, leads to a potent anticoagulant agent. Synthesis was readily achieved by the (9H-fluoren-9-yl)-methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) strategy followed by acidolytic cleavage from the resin and deprotection, including the liberation of the crucial phosphonic group on L-phenylalanine.

    Notes: Tri-o-thymotide (TOT) clathrates are enantiomorphous and enantioselective (chiral cages). It was shown that an external molecular reactant can diffuse into the TOT host crystal lattice and reacts with the included molecule (guest) in characteristic ways, differing from those occurring in liquid solutions. Several aspects of the action of hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr) on the chemical behavior of included oxiranes were investigated for solid-gas and solid-liquid (aqueous) systems. Under well established experimental conditions, these reactions gave regiospecifically one target product and were asymmetric. The included substrate underwent first an acid-catalyzed allylic isomerization that is cage-specific and mostly quantitative. In sheer contrast, strong basic conditions were required to promote, in reduced yield, the analogous transformation in solution. The regiospecificity and enantioselectivity of several intra-crystalline conversions allowed the accurate determination of the absolute configuration of several guest molecules. Kinetic measurements were achieved that disclosed some striking features of this new type of heterogeneous reactions. Tentative models for the cage stereoselective mechanisms are briefly discussed.

    Notes: The complex formation by Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ with tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (N(CH2CH2NMe2)3, Me6tren) was investigated at 25° and at an ionic strength of 1, using VIS spectroscopy and potentiometric measurements. The stability constants of these complexes are compared with those of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (N(CH2CH2NH2)3, tren), obtained under the same conditions. The values of the constants for Me6tren are much lower than those for tren, due to the bulky Me substituents. The values of the constants can be correlated with the ability of the individual metal ions to adopt coordination number 5. This appears to be easier for Cu2+ and Co2+ than for Cd2+ and Zn2+ and is very difficult for Ni2+. The 1:1 complexes [ML(H2O)]2+ are monoprotonic acids whose pKs values are similar or lower than those of the corresponding aquametal ions. The X-ray crystal structure of the copper(II) complex [Cu(SO4)(Me6tren)] · 8H2O reveals pentacoordination at the central ion. The UV/VIS spectra of the aqueous solutions of the Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ 1:1 complexes confirm that the same coordination number is present also in these complexes.

    Notes: The antivirally active 3′-deoxyadenylyl-(2′-5′)-3′-deoxyadenylyl-(2′-5′)-3′-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin trimer core) was modified at the 2′- or 5′-terminus, by attachment of cholesterol via a carbonate bond (→ 15) or a succinate linker (→ 16 and 27) to improve cell permeability. The corresponding monomeric conjugates 4, 7, and 21 of cordycepin were prepared as model substances to study the applicability of the anticipated protecting groups - the monomethoxytrityl (MeOTr), the (tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl (tbds), and the β -eliminating 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) groups - for the final deblocking steps without harming the ester bonds of the conjugate trimers. The syntheses were performed in solution using phosphoramidite chemistry. The fully protected trimer conjugates 13, 14, and 26 as well as all intermediates were characterized by elemental analyses, UV and 1H-NMR spectra. The deblocked conjugates 15, 16, and 27 were pure according to HPLC and showed the correct compositions by mass spectra. Comparative biological studies indicated that cordycepincholesterol conjugate trimers 16 and 27 were 333- and 1000-fold, respectively, more potent inhibitors of HIV-1-induced syncytia formation than cordycepin trimer core.

    Notes: The pyrophosphoric-acid-analogue phosphonoformic acid (pfa) and the amino-acid-analogue (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (ampa) both form, in the deprotonated state, i.e., as -OOC-PO32- and H2N—CH2—PO32-, respectively, five-membered chelate rings with metal ions. pfa inhibits both phosphate transport and virus replication, while ampa is a metabolic product of the common herbicide glyphosate ( = N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine). The acidity constants of H2pfa- and H2ampa± as well as the stability constants of the [M(Hpfa)], [M(pfa)]-, [M(Hampa)]+, and [M(ampa)] complexes, where M2+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cu(2,2′-bipyridyl)2+, Cu(1,10-phenanthroline)2+, Zn2+, or Cd2+, have been determined by potentiometric pH titrations in aqueous solution at 25° and I = 0.1M (NaNO3). The structures of isomeric complexes and the connected intramolecular equilibria are deduced and evaluated based on the equilibrium constants measured and those calculated via the pKa values of the above mentioned ligands and previously established log K vs. pKa straight-line plots (H. Sigel et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 1992, 75, 2634) for a simple phosphonate-M2+ coordination. pfa forms stronger complexes than ampa with all the above mentioned metal ions, with the single exception of [Cu(ampa)] which is slightly more stable than [Cu(pfa)]-. In neutral solutions, more precisely at pH of ca. 6, pfa complexes of alkaline-earth-metal ions retain one phosphonate-bound proton, [M(Hpfa)], while those of the transition-metal ions chelate with the trianionic ligand, pfa3-. In accord with increasing ligand-basicity, the stability-constant order for all metal-ion complexes is oxalate 〉 pfa 〉 pyrophosphate but, owing to proton competition in pyrophosphate, in neutral solutions metal-ion complexation of pfa3- competes with P2O74-. With ampa alkaline-earth-metal ions interact only with the phosphonate group of even the dianionic ligand (though Mg2+ appears to form a low fraction of a [Mg(ampa)] chelate) while transition-metal ions form chelates which are comparable in stability to those of glycinate.

    Notes: The crystal structure of the Sb2F11 salt of the 2-phenyladamant-2-yl cation, 1 · Sb2F11, was determined at 183 K (P21/c, R1 = 0.0652, σ(C—C) = 0.02 Å), because earlier published results indicated a charge delocalization from the cationic C(2) into the σ framework (C—C hyperconjugation) and a bending of the C(2) bridge. In the structure of 1, a displacement of the C(2) bridge by 7.8(12)° from the symmetrical position and C—C bond-length deviations from expectation values were found which are in agreement with preferential C—C hyperconjugation on one face of C(2). The interactions of 1 with two Sb2F11 counterions nearest to C(2) also indicate different behaviour of the two faces of C(2). The benzylic resonance in 1 is confirmed.

    Notes: The bicyclic monoselenoacetal 7, easily obtained from (±)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one (6) via a radical addition-acyl migration sequence, was converted to racemic 12-epiprostaglandins 3 and 4. The key intermediate was the all-cis-formyllactone 2b related to Corey lactone (see 12; Scheme 1). The presence of a (tert-butyl)-dimethylsilyl protective group for the 11-OH substituent (prostaglandin numbering) was found to be crucial in avoidingβ -elimination and epimerization during the Wittig-Horner reaction (Scheme 2). Epimerization at C(12) at the formyllactone stage (see 2b) was also possible and gave the known precursor 1b of naturally occurring prostaglandins and analogs.

    Notes: While trialkylamines and dialkyl(phenyl)amines do not react with CS2 in the sense of an addition reaction, the analogous phosphines react smoothly. Attempts to interpret the reaction course on the basis of semiempirical, HF, MP2, and MP4 calculations of energy changes failed completely. To understand why Me3P or Me2PhP react so vigorously (liquid phase, 300 K) with CS2, CASSCF and MRSDCI calculations must be carried out.

    Notes: (Hydroxymethyl)bilane synthase (HMBS) catalyses the conversion of porphobilinogen (2) into the (hydroxymethyl)bilane derivative 3, a linear tetrapyrrolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of haem, chlorophyll, and related pigments. The conversion involves the sequential formation of four intermediate covalent enzyme-substrate complexes, before the product is released. We analysed the pre-steady-state kinetics of the formation of the complexes, taking advantage of their remarkable chemical stability allowing chromatographic separation. The experimental approach involved the generation of the complexes while HMBS was immobilised on an anion-exchange column. A solution being 0.2 Km in substrate was pumped through the column during a time interval which was varied to sample the pre-steady-state period. Then, the enzyme and enzyme-substrate complexes were eluted and their proportions evaluated. A computer simulation of the pre-steady-state time course, in combination with a χ2 fitting to the experimental data, allowed the specificity constants kcat/Km for the individual steps of the process to be derived. By repeating the analysis with variants of HMBS in which specific amino acids were replaced by others, we demonstrated that it is possible to trace the consequences of amino-acid replacements down to the individual steps of the reaction sequence. Since the positions of the amino acids concerned in the three-dimensional structure were known, detailed structure-function relationships become evident in this way.

    Notes: Cyclic oligomers of (R)-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3-HV) are prepared from the monomer by three different methods, giving various ratios of the oligomers. The macrocycles containing three to twelve 3-HV units (12- to 48-membered rings) are isolated in pure form by chromatography. The triolide 3 can be separated by distillation and isolated on large scale. Biopol, the copolymer of (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (3-HB) and (R)-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (3-HV), is degraded to mixtures of Me- and Et-substituted triolides (‘mixolides’) with high crystallization tendency. The X-ray crystal structures of the tetrolide 4, pentolide 5, hexolide 6, heptolide 7, and of two ‘mixolides’ (with inclusions of solvent) have been determined (Figs. 3-7, 10, and 11) and are compared with those of the corresponding 3-HB derivatives reported previously. From the structural data, a 31 and a 21 helix of 3-HV can be modelled, and the latter one compared with helix structures of P9(3-HB) and P(3-HV) derived from stretch-fibre X-ray scattering. Crystals of a water-containing NaSCN complex of the triethyl triolide 3 were obtained in good quality for X-ray analysis. The structure (Figs. 12, 13, and Table 6) contains an interesting array of C=O and H2O O-atoms around the Na+ ions along a channel-type tube (a-axis of the crystal) which may be relevant to the role of P(3-HB) and P(3-HV) as components of cellular ion channels.

    Notes: By conventional peptide-coupling methods (C to N direction; mixed anhydride, bis(2)-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)phosphinoyl chloride (Bop-Cl), or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 2-amino-2-methyl-3-(methylamino)-propionic acid and 2-amino-2-ethyl-3-(methylamino)propionic acid ( = 2-amino-2-[(methylamino)methyl]butanoic acid) are incorporated in the central position of tri-, penta-, and heptapeptides (see 3-7, 21, and 22). The fragment coupling of the β -amino group of the diamino-acid moiety in a tetrapeptide led to partial epimerization, and thus, two epimeric heptapeptide derivatives were actually obtained (7 and epi-7). The final deprotection to the free heptapeptide (involving a Me3SiI cleavage of BocNH and MeOCONH, a saponification with NaOH, and HPLC purification) gave both the desired product (isopeptide 21), with the β -amino group inside the peptide backbone, and a product (peptide 22) of transpeptidation, with the α-amino group of the diamino acid incorporated and a (methylamino)methyl group as the side chain. Peptide 22 is completely converted to the isopeptide 21 by prolonged treatment with base. The heptapeptide 21 was analyzed by elaborate 2QF-COSY and NOESY NMR measurements in H2O/CD3OD at -5° (Table, Fig.); there is no indication for β -sheet or helical structures, a fact which was also confirmed by CD measurements.

    Notes: The triphenylstannyl β-D-glucopyranoside 4 was synthesized in one step from the 1,2-anhydro-α-D-glucopyranose 3 with (triphenylstannyl)lithium (Scheme 1). Transmetallation of 4 with excess BuLi, followed by quenching the dianion 7 with CD3OD gave (1S)-1,5-anhydro-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-[1-2H]-D- glucitol (8) in 81% yield (Scheme 2). Trapping of 7 with benzaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, or acroleine gave the expected β-D-configurated products 11, 12, and 13 in good yields. Preparation of C-acyl glycosides from acid chlorides, such as acetyl or benzoyl chloride was not practicable, but addition of benzonitrile to 7 yielded 84% of the benzoylated product 14. Treatment of 7 with MeI led to 15 (30%) along with 40% of 18, C-alkylation being accompanied by halogen-metal exchange. Prior addition of lithium 2-thienylcyanocuprate increased the yield of 15 to 50% and using dimethyl sulfate instead of MeI led to 77% of 15. No α-D-anomers could be detected, except with allyl bromide as the electrophile, which yielded in a 1:1 mixture of the anomers 16 and 17.

    Notes: Enantiomerically pure C2-symmetric 1,4-diols embodying bicyclic C-frameworks were synthesized by means of asymmetric carbo-Diels-Alder reactions as key steps (Scheme 1). They were investigated as chiral ligands in the enantioselective addition of ZnEt2 to aromatic aldehydes. In the presence of 20-40 mol-% of the titanates formed from these diols and [Ti(i-PrO)4] at -78°, the respective 1-arylpropanols were obtained with enantiomer ratios up to 93:7 (Scheme 2, Table).

    Notes: Preparation and screening of twenty new ligands, all analogs of α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL), for the Ti-catalyzed asymmetric addition of methyltri(isopropoxy)titanium and diethylzinc to benzaldehyde are described. These ligands have the dioxolane ring of the TADDOL's replaced by cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene and -heptane and bicyclo[2.2.2]octene and -octane moieties; several have H-atoms or alkyl groups in place of the aryl groups, and nine of them have C2 symmetry. X-Ray crystallography and molecular mechanics are used to analyze the structure of the ligands, and two structural features appear to correlate with selectivity: (i) the torsion angle for the chelating O-atom and the ortho-C-atom of the axial Ph group (a small, ca. 19°, angle is optimum, Fig.8) and (ii) the “degree of perpendicularity” of the axial Ph group (Fig. 9). Competition experiments indicate that TADDOL 1a catalyzes both the methyltitanium and diethylzinc additions ≥ 50 times faster than the related dioxolane analogs 12a, 12c, and 12e (Scheme 7), indicating that both axial and equatorial aryl groups (see Footnote 6) are necessary for ligand-accelerated catalysis of these reactions. A refined mechanistic hypothesis is presented (Fig. 10) to explain the selectivities observed for these new ligands. Our analysis suggests that a combination of structural features appear necessary for good catalytic efficiency and high selectivity. These features, especially the rather subtle conformational effects, appear to be optimized (among the ligands tested) in the TADDOL's.

    Notes: In a theoretical investigation of the structure and reactivity of indole derivatives of tricarbonylchromium(0), we have used two different semi-empirical quantum chemical models derived from the extended Hückel molecular-orbital (EHMO) formalism. The first one, based on the atom-superposition and electron-delocalization (ASED) method, is used to optimize the geometry of the systems; it is shown to lead to results in satisfactory agreement with experiment in the case of the complex for which X-ray structural data are available, the average errors being 0.03-0.05 Å for bond distances and 5° for bond angles. The second one consists of a local reactivity index, made of the intermolecular interaction energy between the organometallic substrate and a model reactant. It is seen that this procedure is able to reproduce the experimental trends as to the most reactive regions of the systems investigated towards nucleophilic and electrophilic addition reactions.

    Notes: 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thione oxides 2 were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (Table 1). Addition reactions of 2 with organolithium and Grignard reagents yielded 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl methyl sulfoxides of type 4 via thiophilic attack (Table 2). Whereas the reaction with the organolithium compounds proceeded with fair-to-excellent yields, the Grignard reagents reacted only very sluggishly. The sulfoxides 4 could also be prepared via oxidation of 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-5-(methylthio)-1,3-thiazoles of type 3 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, together with the corresponding sulfones 5 (Scheme 1).

    Notes: The α-D-allo-diol 9 possesses an intramolecular H-bond (HO—C(3) to O—C(1)) in solution and in the solid state (Fig. 2). In solution, it exists as a mixture of the tautomers 9a and 9b (Fig. 3), which possess a bifurcated H-bond, connecting HO—C(2) with both O—C(1) and O—C(3). In addition, 9a possesses the same intramolecular H-bond as in the solid state, while 9b is characterized by an intramolecular H-bond between HO—C(3) and O—C(4). In solution, the β-D-anomer 12 is also a mixture of tautomers, 12a and presumably a dimer. The H-bonding in 9 and 12 is evidenced by their IR and 1H-NMR spectra and by a comparison with those of 3-8, 10, and 11. The expected regioselectivity of glycosidation of 9 and 12 by the diazirine 1 or the trichloroacetimidate 2 is discussed on the basis of the relative degree of acidity/nucleophilicity of individual OH groups, as governed by H-bonding. Additional factors determining the regioselectivity of glycosidation by 1 are the direction of carbene approach/proton transfer by H-bonded OH groups, and the stereoelectronic control of both the proton transfer to the alkoxy-alkyl carbene (in the σ-plane) and the combination of the thereby formed ions (π-plane of the oxycarbenium ion). Glycosidation of 9 by the diazirine 1 or the trichloroacetimidate 2 proceeded in good yields (75-94%) and with high regioselectivity. Glycosidation of 9 and 12 by 1 or 2 gave mixtures of the disaccharides 14-17 and 18-21, respectively (Scheme 2). As expected, glycosidation of 12 by 1 or by 2 gave a nearly 1:1 mixture of regioisomers and a slight preference for the β-D-anomers (Table 4). Glycosidation of the α-D-anomer 9 gave mostly the 1,3-linked disaccharides 16 and 17 (α-D β-D) along with the 1,2-linked disaccharides 14 and 15 (α-D 〈 β-D, 1,2-/1,3-linked glycosides ca. 1:4), except in THF and at low temperature, where the β-D-configurated 1,2-linked disaccharide 15 is predominantly formed. Similarly, glycosidation of 9 with 2 yielded mainly the 1,3-linked disaccharides (1,2-/1,3-linked products ca. 1:3 and α-D/β-D ca. 1:4). Yields and selectivity depend upon the solvent and the temperature. The regioselectivity and the unexpected stereoselectivity of the glycosidation of 9 by 1 evidences the combined effect of the above mentioned factors, which also explain the lack of regio-complementarity in the glycosidation of 9 by 1 and by 2 (Scheme 3). THF solvates the intermediate oxycarbenium ion, as evidenced by the strong influence of this solvent on the regio- and stereoselectivity, particularly at low temperatures, where kinetic control leads to a stereoelectronically preferred axial attack of THF on the oxycarbenium ion.

    Notes: Condensation of 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline (4) with 4-methylnicotinoyl chloride (12) in refluxing pyridine gives 5,6,13,13a-tetrahydro-2,3-dimethoxy-8H-isoquino[2,1-b][2,7] naphthyridin-8-one (11), along with some of its 13,13a-didehydro derivative 7. A similar reaction of 4 with 4-(chloromethyl)nicotinoyl chloride (14) affords, in addition to 7, the isomeric product 10,11-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy-13H-pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1- b][3]benzazepin-13-one (3). Analogous pairs of products are obtained from 3,4-dihydro-6,7-(methylenedioxy)- and 3,4-dihydro-6,7,8-trimethoxy-isoquinolines (15 and 18, resp.). The structure of 3 was established by extensive NMR data and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray studies. Structure 7 has the ring system of the Alangium alkaloids like alangimarinc (1), while the isomeric ring system 3 is predicted to be present in nature on biogenetic reasoning.

    Notes: The crystal structure of (-)-corycavinium (+)-10-camphorsulfonate has been investigated by X-ray analysis. The structure of (-)-corycavinium ion ( = (-)-(7S,13S,14R)-5,6,13,13a-tetrahydro-13a-hydroxy-7-methyl-2,3;9,10-bis(methylenedioxy)-8H-dibenzo[a,g]quinolizinium), has been determined. The conformation with B/C-cis-conjunction, a twisted half-chair of ring B, and a half-chair of ring C, as well as α-oriented substituted groups N…Me, C…Me, and C…OH is revealed. Feeding experiments with cell suspension cultures of Corydalis incisa (Papaveraceae) defined the intermediacy of (-)-corycavinium in the route from protoberberine-type to hexahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridine-type of alkaloids. On the basis of the present crystal conformation, the stereospecificity of the relating enzyme is biogenetically considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: Symmetrical Azopyridinone Dyes: Synthesis, Spectrophotometrical and Acidobasic Properties, Metal-Complex Formation and Kinetical Investigation of the Azo-Dye FormationThe 13 substituted symmetrical azopyridinone dyes 2a-n were synthesized and their VIS spectra measured. The pK*a values of some dyes and of pyridinone coupling components were determined in MeOH/H2O 64:36. The metal-complex formation of the dyes with Cd2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ was investigated, and complex-formation constants of the 1:1 complexes were determined in H2O for 2k (Table 2) and in dimethylformamide/H2O 1:1 for some other azopyridinone dyes (Table 3). The mechanism of the azo-dye formation was investigated and found to be much more complicated than expected. A mechanism of the coupling reaction was developed (see Scheme 4) and fitted by least-squares calculations.

    Notes: The relation between H-bonding in diequatorial trans-1,2 and axial, equatorial cis-1,2-diols and the regioselectivity of glycosidation by the diazirine 1 was examined. H-Bonds were assigned on the basis of FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectra (Fig. 1). Glycosidation by 1 of the gluco-configurated diequatorial trans-2,3-diols 4-7 yielded the mono-glucosylated products 16/17/20/21 (69-89%); 1,2-/1,3-linked products (37-46:63-54), 24/25/28/29 (60-63%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 46-51:54-49), 32-35 (69-94%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 45-52:55-48), and 36/37/40/41 (59-63%; 1,2-/1,3-linked products 52-59:48-41), respectively (Scheme 1, Table 3). The disaccharides derived from 4, 5, and 7 were characterized as their acetates 18/19/22/23, 26/27/30/31, and 38/39/42/43, respectively. Glycosidation of the galacto-configurated diequatorial 2,3-diols 8 and 9 and the manno-configurated diequatorial 3,4-diol 10 by 1 (Scheme 2, Table 3) also proceeded in fair yields to give the disaccharides 44-47 (69-80%;1,2-/1,3-linked products ca. 1:1), 48-51 (51-61%;1,2/-1,3-linked products 54-56:56-54), and 56/57/60/61 (71-80%; 1,3-/1,4-linked products 49-54:51-46), respectively. The 1,3-linked disaccharides 56/57 derived from the diol 10 were characterized as the acetates 58/59. The regio- and stereoselectivities of the glycosidation by 1 were much better for the α-D-manno-configurated axial, equatorial cis-2,3-diol 11 and the galacto-configurated axial, equatorial cis-3,4-diol 13 (1,2-/1,3-linked disaccharides ca. 3:7 for 11 and 1,3-/1,4-linked disaccharides ca. 4:1 for 13; Scheme 3, Table 4). The regio- and stereoselectivity for the β-D-manno-configurated cis-2,3-diol 12 were, however, rather poor (1,2-/1,3-linked products 48:52). The 1,2-linked disaccharides 66/67 derived from 12 were characterized as the acetates 70/71. Koenigs-Knorr-type glycosidation of the cis-diols 11-13 by 2 or 3 proceeded with a similar regio- and a higher stereoselectivity (α-D 〉 β-D with the donor 2 and α-D 〈 β-D with the donor 3) than with 1, with the exception of 12 which did not react with 2. The regioselectivity of the glycosidations by 1 agrees fully with the H-bonding scheme of the diols and with the hypothesis that the intermediate carbene is preferentially protonated by the most weakly H-bonded OH group. The regioselectivity of the glycosidation by 2 and by 3 is determined by a higher reactivity of the equatorial OH groups and by H-bonding. Several H-bonded and equilibrating isomers of a given diol may intervene in the glycosidation by 1, or by 2 and 3, resulting in the same regioselectivity. The low nucleophilicity of 12 and the low degree of regioselectivity in its reaction with 3 show that stereoelectronic effects may also profoundly influence the nucleophilicity of OH groups.

    Notes: The luminescent EuIII ion has been used to probe the metal-binding sites of bovine α-lactalbumin (BLA) in D2O. Upon addition of apo-BLA to an EuIII-containing solution, the intrinsic luminescence of the protein is quenched, and the EuIII luminescence is enhanced. Luminescent titrations point to there being at least two different metal-binding sites in the apo-protein. Curve analysis of the high resolution 5D0←7F0 excitation spectra reveals the existence of three different environments for the bonded EuIII ions. Two environments, labelled Ia and Ib, give 5D0←7F0 bands very close in energy; they contain four negatively charged groups and are assigned to one site we identify as the calcium-binding site. Site I is protected from solvent influences and is somewhat rigid, since it displays selectivity towards lanthanide ions. The origin of the two similar environments Ia and Ib could not be determined unambiguously. The third environment is ascribed to a nonspecific metal-binding site in which the EuIII ion is more exposed to the solvent (site II). It is sequentially populated after saturation of site I, and its population is pH-dependent. The affinity constant of EuIII for this site was estimated from the excitation spectra: log K2app = 3.5(1). Assignment of the metal binding sites has been facilitated by comparison with model compounds, [Eu(dota)]- (dota = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane N,N′,N″, N‴-tetraacetate), [Eu(dtpa)]2- (dtpa = diethylenetriamine tetraacetate), and [Eu(bsa)] (bsa = bovine serum albumin). The usefulness and limits of the use of curve-analysis procedures to unravel the various components of 5D0←7F0 excitation spectra in biological materials are also discussed.

    Notes: The synthesis of four electropolymerizable 2,2′-bipyridinium salts with tuned reduction potential (E1∘) is described (N,N′-ethylene-4-methyl-4′-vinyl-2,2′-bipyridinium dibromide (4; E1∘ =-0.48 V), 4-methyl-N, N′-(trimethylene)-4′-vinyl-2,2′-bipyridinium dibromide (5; E1∘= -0.66 V), N,N′-ethylene-4-methyl-4′-[2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)ethyl]-2, 2′-bipyridinium bis(hexafluorophosphate) (6b; E1∘= -0.46 V), and 4-methyl-4′-[2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)ethyl]-N, N′-(trimethylene)-2,2′-bipyridinium bis(hexafluorophosphate) (7b; E1∘= -0.66 V)). E1∘-Tuning is based on the torsional angle C(3)-C(2)-C(2′)-C(3′), imposed by the N,N′-ethylene and N,N′-(trimethylene) bridge. The vinylic compounds 4 and 5 undergo cathodic, the pyrrole derivatives 6b and 7b anodic electropolymerization on glassy carbon electrodes from MeCN solutions, yielding thin, surface-confined films with surface concentrations of redox-active material in the range 5 · 10-9 〈 Γ 〈 2.10-8 mol/cm2, depending on experimental conditions. The modified electrodes exhibit reversible ‘diquat’ electrochemistry in pure solvent/electrolyte. Copolymerization of 6b or 7b with pyrrole yields most stable electrodes. Bi ayer-film-modified electrodes were prepared by sequential electropolymerization of the monomers. The assembly electrode/poly-6b/poly-7b behaves as a switch, it transforms - as a Schmitt trigger - an analog input signal (the electrode potential) into a digital output signal (redox state of the outer polymer film). Forward-(electrode/poly-7b/poly-6b) and reverse-biased assemblies (electrode/poly-6b/poly-7b) were coupled to the electrochemical reduction of redox-active solution species, e.g. N- (cyanomethyl)-N′-methyl-4,4′-bipyridinium bis(hexafluorophosphate) (8). Zener-diode-like behavior was observed. Aspects of redox-polymer multilayer-film assemblies, sandwiched between two electronic conductors, are discussed in terms of molecular electronic devices.

    Notes: Single crystals of 1-[2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenyl]-2-phenylphosphaethene (PPPE) and of 2D- and 13C-enriched PPPE were studied by ESR after X-ray irradiation. Two phosphorus-centered radicals were trapped in the crystals. The first one was characterized by its 31P, 1H-, and 13C-hyperfine tensors, the second one exhibited coupling with 31P only. Comparison of these parameters with those predicted by ab initio calculations on some phosphinyl species indicates that these two radicals probably result, on the one hand, from an addition of a H-atom to the C-atom of the P=C bond and, on the other, from a cyclization of the parent molecule. The proposed mechanisms are consistent with the mutual orientations of the hyperfine eigenvectors and bond directions in the undamaged molecule. A C-centered radical which results from an addition of a H-atom to the P-atom of the phosphaethylene bond is also detected.

    Notes: Two new C2 chiral bidentate phosphorous ligands have been prepared in enantiomerically pure form. The two phosphorous centers bear electron-withdrawing groups ((CF3)2CH—O, C6F5) and are linked by a trans-cyclopentane-1,2-diol-derived bridge. Photolysis of [Cr(η6-C6H6)(CO)3] in the presence of these two new ligands and of two previously reported bidentate phosphites, and fluorophosphinites (L) afforded [Cr(η6-C6H6)(CO)L] complexes. IR Spectral comparison of the complexes shows the new ligands to be intermediate in their bonding properties between alkyl phosphites and CO.

    Notes: From guanosine (1) as starting molecule, protected arabinoguanosine derivatives such as phosphoramidite precursors and arabinoguanosine (18) itself were prepared in high yields. Inversion of the configuration at C(2′) was achieved by introduction of the (trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl residue and subsequent displacement by nucleophiles like acetate, bromide, and azide. The guanine moiety was protected at the amide function by the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl (npe) group on O6 and at the NH2 function by the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) group.

    Notes: 4,4-Disubstituted Imidazole Derivatives from the Reaction of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with SalicylamideReaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines 1a-c with salicylamide (7) in MeCN leads to imidazoles 10 and 11 in different rates, depending on the conditions. In the case of 1a and 1b, 11a and 11b, respectively, have been obtained as the main product at 50°; in reactions at 80°, 10a and 10b are the favored products (Tables 1 and 2). 2,2-Dimethyl-3-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)-2H-azirine (1c) reacts with 7 in MeCN mainly to 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-3,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one (10a); in boiling toluene, 11c is formed with low preference (Table 3). The structure of the products has been established by spectroscopic means, and in the case of 10b and 11c, by X-ray crystallography. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of the products are discussed (Scheme 2).

    Notes: The optically active urobilin model compound 7 was synthesized, in which Me groups instead of H-atoms are bound to the asymmetric centers, thus preventing loss of chirality by tautomerization. The key intermediate of the eleven-step synthesis of 7 is the 1,4,5,10-tetrahydro-10-hydroxy-1-oxo-11H-dipyrrin-9-carboxylate rac-2, which could be resolved into enantiomers by fractional crystallization of the corresponding methyl N-[1-(naphth-1-yl)ethyl]carbamates 3 and 4. The absolute configuration of enantiomerically pure (-)-2 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of its camphor-10-sulfonate 5. As the CD spectrum of the urobilin analogue 7 obtained from (-)-(R)-2 displays a positive Cotton effect, the present results prove, in connection with previous work, that substitution of Me groups for the H-atoms bound to the asymmetric centers of a chiral urobilin chromophore do not influence the relationship between absolute configuration of the latter and its helicity.

    Notes: Hydrogen bonding of the triol 4 in chlorinated solvents was studied by IR (CH2Cl2 and CCl4) and 1H-NMR spectroscopy (CDCl3), and the regioselectivity of the glycosidation of the triol 4 by the diazirine 1 is predicted on the basis of two assumptions: preferred protonation of the intermediate glycosylidene carbene by the OH group involved in the weakest intramolecular H-bond, and attack in the π-plane of the thereby generated oxycarbenium cation either by the reoriented oxy anion, or by a properly oriented vicinal OH group. Glycosidation led to the disaccharides 5-10 (Scheme) which were separated and characterized as their acetates 11-16, to the lactone azines 17 and to the 2-(benzyloxy)glucal 18. In agreement with the predictions, glycosidation in non-coordinating solvents gave the 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-linked disaccharides in decreasing relative amounts. Glycosidation in THF proceeded with a lower degree of regioselectivity and led preferentially to the β -D-anomers, except for the minor, 1,4-linked disaccharides, where THF had only a weak influence on stereoselectivity at room temperature and led to a slight increase of the α -D-anomer at -80°.

    Notes: The dynamic behaviour of twelve polysubstituted derivatives of [Ir4(CO)12] has been investigated in solution, using 2D-EXSY, and VT-31P- and 13C-NMR. [Ir4(CO)6(μ2-CO)3(η4-diarsine) PPh3] and [Ir4(CO)6(μ2-CO)3(η4-nor-bornadiene)(PMePh2)] exhibit two isomeric forms in solution, which interconvert through an intramolecular change of basal face. The related cluster [Ir4(CO)6(μ2-CO)3(η4-norbornadiene)PPh3] exists as a single isomer in solution. It displays rotation of CO ligands about the apical Ir-atom, followed by two consecutive changes of basal face. The tetrasubstituted clusters with two chelating ligands [Ir4(CO)5(μ2-CO)3(η4-diolefin)2] also exhibit rotation of apical CO's, the activation energy increases with greater steric hindrance of the radical ligands. A quantitative analysis of the 31P- and 13C-2D-EXSY spectra followed by simulation of the corresponding VT-NMR spectra of [IR4(CO)5(μ2-CO)3(μ2-L)2] (L = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) revealed a pairwise averaging of the P-atoms, caused by two parallel changes of basal face averaging all CO ligands. In addition, the restricted rotation of ligands about the apical Ir-atom was identified at higher temperatures. The remaining clusters are either rigid on the NMR time scale, or display CO-scrambling about a single Ir-atom.

    Notes: The synthesis of a new type of oligonucleotide (‘bicyclooligodeoxynucleotide’ = bcd(Xn)) displaying less conformational flexibility in its sugar-phosphate backbone is described, and a characterization of the pairing properties and energetics of the decamers bcd(T10) and bcd (A10) with each other and with complementary RNA and DNA sequences by UV-spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques is given. The results can be summarized as follows: (i) bcd(T10) pairs less strongly to complementary RNA and DNA, whereas bcd(A10) forms stronger duplexes relative to the natural system. (ii) bcd(A10) discriminates between a complementary oligodeoxynucleotide with a mismatch in the center in the same way as d(A10), indicating equal base-pairing selectivity. (iii) bcd(A10) forms more stable triplexes with d(T10) of the pyrimidine-purine-pyrimidine (py · pu · py) motif than d(A10). (iv) The stability of duplexes containing a bicyclic strand is more sensitive towards salt concentration. The higher sensitivity in bcd(A10) containing duplexes is due to a higher differential cation uptake. (v) Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis of duplex-formation enthalpies shows ΔHvH in all duplexes containing bicyclooligonucleotides to be more negative than ΔHcal, which is compatible with the formation of catenated structures. (vi) Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provides a complete set of thermodynamic data including duplex and triplex association constants for the systems d(A10)/d(T10), bcd(A10)/d(T10), d(A10)/bcd(T10), bcd(A10)/bcd(T10). (vii) All duplexes containing bicyclic strands show a (numerically) reduced pairing entropy term with respect to that of the natural system. (viii) Enthalpies from DSC and ITC are similar, suggesting that the enthalpic contribution from ordered single strands to the overall duplex-formation enthalpy plays a minor role in the duplexes investigated.

    Notes: New tricyclic spacers, readily available through fourfold Mannich reaction of substituted dibenzyl ketones, were introduced into a series of ten H2O-soluble cyclophanes with spacious preorganized cavity binding sites. These spacers provide H2O-solubility with amine or crown-ether functionality remote from the cyclophane cavity while directing functional groups such as keto or OH groups in a precise geometrical array inside the cavity. The cyclophanes were designed to include organic substrates via a combination of apolar and specific polar functional group interactions. The X-ray crystal-structure analysis of the tritopic receptor 18 with one potential neutral-molecule and two cation-binding sites showed a large rectangular open cavity with dimensions of roughly 9 × 14 Å and a spacing of 9.7 Å between the O-atoms of two convergent C=O groups. Despite the binding-site preorganization, cyclophanes incorporating two of the new spacers did not show any substrate binding in aqueous solutions. The failure of these systems to function as receptors is mainly due to steric hindrance to important cyclophane aromatic ring-guest interactions. Also, the favorable solvation of the intracavity functionality may prevent the formation of complexes. Hybrid receptors constructed from the novel spacers and diphenylmethane units were found to bind flat aromatic substrates as well as bulky [4.2]paracyclophanes. The observed large differences in stability (ΔΔG°〉 2 kcal mol-1) of the complexes formed by three structurally closely related hybrid receptors with convergent C=O, OH or CH2 groups and 6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carbonitrile as guest can be explained by a strong solvation effect of the convergent functional groups on apolar inclusion complexation.

    Notes: The mono(glucosylthio)hydroquinone 2 was prepared by S-glycosidation of 2-mercaptobenzene-1,4-diol and by addition of the acetylated 1-thioglucose 3 to benzo-1,4-quinone (Scheme 1). The second, higher yielding procedure was adopted for the preparation of a range of (glucosylthio)hydroquinones. Addition of 3 to 2-chlorobenzo-1,4-quinone, followed by oxidation gave the 1-thioglucosides 7 and 12 (1.3:1), while addition of HCl to the (glucosylthio)quinone 4 and oxidation gave mainly 12 (Scheme 1). Similarly, the bis(glucosylthio)hydroquinone 33 was obtained from 3 and 4 (Scheme 4), and the (cellobiosylthio)hydroquinone 18 from the thiol 16 and benzo-1,4-quinone (Scheme 2). Addition of the 4-thioglucoside 21 to benzo-1,4-quinone (→22) and to 4 was followed by oxidation to yield the mono(glucosylthio)quinone 23 and the disubstituted quinones 24 and 25, respectively (Scheme 3). A mixture 24/25 was also obtained from the addition of 3 to 23. The tris(glucosylthio)hydroquinone 36 was obtained by addition/elimination to the dichloroquinone 29 or the dimesylate 31, which was prepared in a simplified way (Scheme 4). The tetrakis(glucosylthio)hydroquinone 37 was obtained from 3 and chloranil, followed by reduction. The acylated hydroquinones were deprotected (→5, 9, 14, 19, 27, 34, and 38), and oxidized to the corresponding quinones (6, 10, 15, 20, 28, 35, and 40). The (glucosylthio)quinones 6, 15, 20, 28, and 35 were tested as time-dependent inactivators of a retaining β-1,4-glucosidase from Agrobacterium faecalis (Abg), which has a strong exo-glucosidase action (Table 1). Similarly, compounds 20, 28, and 35 were tested with a cellulase from Cellulomonas fimi (Cex) which degrades cellulose and cellooligosaccharides by hydrolysis of a cellobiose unit from the nonreducing terminus. The most effective inactivators for Abg were 6, 15, and 35, which inactivated this enzyme with similar second-order rate constants. (Glycosylthio)quinone 28 was the worst inactivator and did not show normal saturation behaviour. Inactivation of Cex by the (glycosylthio)quinones was 3-500 times slower than that of Abg. The three inactivators 20, 28, and 35 had approximately the same efficacy with Cex, suggesting that they bind to this enzyme in a similar mode. Further, the Ki values observed are very similar to Km values measured for aryl cellobiosides, implying that they bind at the active site.
