    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene defects may play a role in the development of maternally inherited diabetes mellitus and deafness (MIDD). A family from Southern Italy who showed maternal transmission of type 2 diabetes mellitus with three individuals affected is described. A 10.4 kb deletion and mutations at nucleotide positions (np) 3243, 7445 and 11778 in the mtDNA of six relatives were sought. The mitochondrial np 3243 mutation of the tRNA Leu (UUR) gene was identified in a boy affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation, as well as in his diabetic mother. No other mutations or deletions were found. Our study points out the variable phenotypic expression of the np 3243 mtDNA mutation. This may suggest the presence of other mitochondrial or nuclear mutations required to modulate the phenotype. A clinical and metabolic follow-up of all family members was necessary to understand the role of the np 3243 mutation, especially in one child affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation. Further studies will be aimed at investigating the prevalence of mutations and deletions of mtDNA in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Notes: Abstract  We report the sequences of 17 primer pairs of microsatellite loci, which we have cloned and sequenced from two genomic libraries of peach [Prunus persica (L) Batsch] ‘Redhaven’, enriched for AC/GT and AG/CT repeats respectively. For ten of these microsatellite loci we were able to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance in a segregating back-cross population; the remainder did not segregate. The polymorphism of the microsatellites was evaluated in a panel of ten peach genotypes, including true-to-type peaches, nectarines and one canning-peach. Fifteen microsatellites (88%) were polymorphic showing 2–4 alleles each. The mean heterozygosity, averaged over all loci, was 0.32 and significantly higher than that reported in the literature for isozymes and molecular markers, such as RFLPs and RAPDs. We have also assayed the cross-species transportability and found that ten microsatellite (59%) gave apparently correct amplification in all Prunus species surveyed, namely P. domestica (European plum), P. salicina (Japanese plum), P. armeniaca (apricot), P. dulcis (almond), P. persica var. vulgaris (peach), P. persica var. laevis (nectarine), P. avium (sweet cherry) and P. cerasus (sour cherry), with three of them also being amplified in Malus (apple). The remaining microsatellites gave less-extensive amplification. Because of their appreciable polymorphism and wide cross-species transportability, most of these new markers can be integrated into the linkage maps which are currently being constructed in peach, as well as in other stone fruit crops, such as almond, apricot, cherry and plum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most important and a very heterogeneous group of malignant soft tissue tumors of childhood and adolescence.The two major subtypes (embryonal and alveolar) share a common myogenic differentiation, but seem to be histogenetically not related. The so-called ’International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma’ includes, besides the two major subtypes, the botryoid and leiomyomatous subtypes of embryonal RMS which are associated with a better prognosis and are treated less aggressively according to current protocols. In addition, the solid variant of alveolar RMS is included in the alveolar group of RMS. The identification of the various subtypes is necessary and important because the treatment with the current protocols is also related to histology. Using conventional stains and immunohistochemistry, these subtypes are distinguishable. Genetic analysis can be helpful in the demonstration of t(2;13) or t(1;13) translocations in alveolar RMS. The identification of alveolar RMS with t(1;13) translocation might become important in the future, because this type of translocation seems to be related to a better prognosis as compared to tumors with a t(2;13) translocation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Rhabdomyosarkome stellen eine heterogene Gruppe von ganz verschiedenartigen, histogenetisch wohl nicht zusammengehörenden Tumoren dar. Nach der heute verwendeten „Internationalen Klassifikation” der Rhabdomyosarkome werden neben der Unterteilung in embryonalen und alveoläre Rhabdomyossarkome auch Subtypen des embryonalen RMS identifiziert (botryoider und leiomyomatöser Subtyp), die durch eine günstigere Prognose und durch die Notwendigkeit einer weniger aggressive Therapie gekennzeichnet sind. Durch Einsatz von verschiedenen histologischen und immunhistochemischen Färbungen ist die Identifizierung der verschiedenen Typen der RMS heute möglich und auch zwingend notwendig, da die einzelnen Entitäten nach ganz unterschiedlichen Therapieprotokollen behandelt werden. Der Nachweis typischer molekulargenetischer Veränderungen kann in der Unterscheidung insbesondere von embryonalen und alveolären RMS hilfreich sein. In der Regel ist die Abgrenzung zwischen diesen beiden Entitäten auch an konventionell gefärbten Schnittpräparaten möglich. Die Identifizierung von alveolären RMS mit einer t(1;13)-Translokation könnte in Zukunft eine große Bedeutung haben, da diese genetische Veränderung möglicherweise mit einer günstigeren Prognose assoziert sein könnte als die t(2;13)-Translokation.

    Notes: Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are complex disorders. While the exact etiology of these diseases remains unknown, recent progress in the epidemiology and genetics of IBD has clearly demonstrated both environmental and genetic factors to play a role in the development of the disease, and it is expected that some risk factors are common for both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The environmental factor(s) are associated with the Western way of life in the second half of the twentieth century. Cigarette smoking is presently the best known environmental factor. However, the effect of tobacco is opposite in CD and UC. A familial history of IBD is the most important risk factor for developing the disease, suggesting a genetic predisposition to IBD. This hypothesis has recently been confirmed by the localization of at least two susceptibility loci on chromosomes 12 and 16. These genes seem to play a role in both CD and UC. They must now to be identified.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Schizophrenia is a genetic complex disease as it does not follow monogenic transmission while non-familial environmental factors have a strong additional impact. A heterogenous, continuous phenotype is transmitted in families which can now be more precisely characterized. Genes coding for proteins with presumed pathophysiological relevance are apparently not playing a major causal role. However, in the last three years several (currently seven) candidate regions have been identified in a replicable manner by linkage studies. These regions are likely to host susceptibility genes for schizophrenia, but none of them has been identified up to now. Given these findings, polygenic transmission has now become very likely. The candidate regions are currently being narrowed down by various promising techniques.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Schizophrenie gehört zu den genetisch komplexen Erkrankungen, die keinem monogenen Erbgang folgen und bei denen auch nichtfamiliäre Umgebungsfaktoren eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dabei wird intrafamiliär ein heterogener, quantitativ variierender Phänotyp übertragen, der zunehmend genauer charakterisiert werden kann. Keines der bekannten Gene mit vermuteter pathophysiologischer Relevanz spielt nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen eine substantielle Rolle. In den vergangenen drei Jahren ist es aber erstmals durch Kopplungsuntersuchungen gelungen, mehrere replizierbare Kandidatenregionen (derzeit sieben) auf dem Genom zu identifizieren, in denen vermutlich Suszeptibilitätsgene für Schizophrenie liegen. Keines dieser Gene wurde jedoch bislang identifiziert. Mit diesen Befunden ist eine polygene Übertragung der Schizophrenie sehr wahrscheinlich geworden. Verschiedene Techniken zur Eingrenzung der Kandidatenregionen werden derzeit erfolgreich angewandt.

    Notes: Abstract Recently intronic and exonic mutations in the Tau gene have been found to be associated with familial neurodegenerative syndromes characterized not only by a predominantly frontotemporal dementia but also by the presence of neurological signs consistent with the dysfunction of multiple subcortical neuronal circuitries. Among families, the symptomatology appears to vary in quality and severity in relation to the specific Tau gene mutation and often may include parkinsonism, supranuclear palsies, and/or myoclonus, in addition to dementia. We carried out molecular genetic and neuropathological studies on two patients from a French family presenting, early in their fifth decade, a cognitive impairment and supranuclear palsy followed by an akinetic rigid syndrome and dementia. The proband died severely demented 7 years after the onset of the symptoms; currently, his brother is still alive although his disease is progressing. In both patients, we found a Tau gene mutation in exon 10 at codon 279, resulting in an asparagine to lysine substitution (N279K). Neuropathologically, widespread neuronal and glial tau accumulation in the cortex, basal ganglia, brain stem nuclei as well as in the white matter were the hallmark of the disease. These deposits were shown by immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy, using a battery of antibodies to phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent epitopes present in multiple tau regions. In the neocortex, tau-immunopositive glial cells were more numerous than immunopositive neurons; the deeper cortical layers as well as the white matter adjacent to the cortex contained the largest amount of immunolabeled glial cells. In contrast, some brain stem nuclei contained more neurons with tau deposits than immunolabeled glial cells. The correlation of clinical, neuropathological and molecular genetic findings emphasize the phenotypic heterogeneitiy of diseases caused by Tau gene mutations. Furthermore, to test the effect of the N279K mutation and compare it with the effect of the P301L exon 10 mutation on alternative splicing of Tau exon 10, we used an exon amplification assay. Our results suggest that the N279K mutation affects splicing similar to the intronic mutations, allowing exon 10 to be incorporated more frequently in the Tau transcript.

    Notes: Abstract The human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax is a phosphoprotein, however, the contribution of phosphorylation to Tax activity is unknown. Previous studies have shown that phosphorylation of Tax occurs on serine residue(s), within one tryptic fragment, in response to 4β-phorbol-12β-myristate-13α-acetate, in both mouse and human cells. Studies were conducted in multiple cell lines to identify the specific phosphorylated serines as a prelude to functional analysis. The phosphorylation pattern of Tax was found to be different in 293T and COS-7 cells in comparison with MT-4 and Px-1 cells. However, one tryptic fragment remained consistent in comigration analyses among all cell lines. Using selected Tax serine mutants a tryptic fragment containing a serine at residue 113 believed to be the site of phosphorylation of Tax did not comigrate with the common phosphorylated tryptic fragment. Analysis of selected Tax mutants for ability totrans-activate the cytomegalovirus promoter demonstrated mutation of serine 77 to alanine reducedtrans-activation by 90% compared to wild-type Tax. However, examination of the phosphorylation pattern of the serine 77 mutant demonstrated that it is not the site of phosphorylation. These studies demonstrate the importance of using relevant cell lines to characterize the role of phosphorylation in protein function.

    Notes: Abstract The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe provides a simple eukaryotic model for the study of cytokinesis. S. pombe cells are rod-shaped, grow mainly by elongation at their tips, and divide by binary fission after forming a centrally placed division septum. Analysis of mutants has begun to shed light upon how septum formation and cytokinesis are regulated both spatially and temporally. Some of the proteins involved in these events have been functionally conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, suggesting that aspects of this control will be common to all eukaryotic cells.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of our study was to describe the prevalence and the clinical spectrum of monosomy 22q11.2 in a population of patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. We examined all 44 patients with this conotruncal cardiac malformation who presented to our institution from January 1994 until December 1997. The type of collateral lung perfusion was recorded including anomalies of the pulmonary arteries as well as facial and immunological abnormalities. Molecular-cytogenetic testing for a 22q11.2 microdeletion was performed using the probes D22S75 and cHKAD26. Statistical differences were evaluated with the Fisher's Exact Test. Monosomy 22q11.2 was present in ten children (23%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 1). The remaining 13 children (29%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 2) and all 21 children (48%) with ductus arteriosus (group 3) were negative for this microdeletion. All children in group 1 had facial anomalies, six had mild immunological abnormalities including decreased CD 4+ or CD 8+ cells. Anomalies of the pulmonary vascular bed were significantly more frequent in children of group 1 (9/10) than in children of group 2 (4/13) or group 3 (0/21). Due to these pulmonary vascular anomalies, corrective surgery had been accomplished in fewer children with monosomy 22q11.2 (none in group 1) as compared to 7/13 children in group 2 and 14/21 children in group 3. Conclusion In children with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect, monosomy 22q11.2 is preferentially associated with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Due to the higher incidence of pulmonary arterial abnormalities, successful surgical repair will require a different therapeutic approach in most patients with this microdeletion.

    Notes: ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. A complex genetic etiology is thought to underlie susceptibility to this disease. The present study was designed to analyze whether differences in genes that encode myelin proteins influence susceptibility to MS. We performed linkage analysis of MS to markers in chromosomal regions that include the genes encoding myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMGP), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in a well-characterized population of 65 multiplex MS families consisting of 399 total individuals, 169 affected with MS and 102 affected sibpairs. Physical mapping data permitted placement of MAG and PLP genes on the Genethon genetic map; all other genes were mapped on the Genethon genetic map by linkage analysis. For each gene, at least one marker within the gene and/or two tightly linked flanking markers were analyzed. Marker data analysis employed a combination of genetic trait model-dependent (parametric) and model-independent linkage methods. Results indicate that MAG, MBP, OMGP, and PLP genes do not have a significant genetic effect on susceptibility to MS in this population. As MOG resides within the MHC, a potential role of the MOG gene could not be excluded.

    Notes: Abstract  Acute leukemia is more common in males at almost every age, and this fact remains unexplained. A study was carried out in northeast peninsular Malaysia, where the population is predominantly Malay, to examine whether there was a difference in ABO blood group distribution between males and females with acute leukemia (AL). The ABO blood groups of 109 male and 79 female patients with AL (98 ALL, 90 AML) were compared with those of 1019 controls. In the control population, 39.7% were group O. Among males with AL, 39.4% were group O, whereas among females with AL, the proportion was 24.1% (p=0.03). The same trend to a lower proportion of group O among females was seen if the group was divided into adult/pediatric or lymphoblastic/myeloblastic groups, though these differences were not statistically significant. If these findings can be confirmed, they suggest the presence of a "sex-responsive" gene near to the ABO gene locus on chromosome 9, which relatively protects group O women against AL, at least in our population. The existence of such a gene might also partly explain why acute leukemia, and possibly other childhood cancers, are more common in males.

    Notes: Abstract The last two decades have seen clinical and molecular delineation of the different forms of neurofibromatosis. Differentiation of these forms is not just an academic exercise: their natural history, management and genetic counselling are quite different. Of the numerical classifications of neurofibromatosis proposed in the past, only neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (Nf2) are now well delineated clinically and have been shown to be distinct at the molecular level. For both forms of neurofibromatosis, patients with clinical generalised disease have been demonstrated to be mosaic at the molecular level, and features of segmental or mosaic Nf1 and Nf2 have been delineated. Other reported forms of neurofibromatosis are rarer; they include Watson syndrome, hereditary spinal neurofibromatosis, familial intestinal neurofibromatosis, autosomal dominant café-au-lait spots alone, autosomal dominant neurofibromas alone, and schwannomatosis, the latter believed to be a variant of Nf2. Further delineation is neeeded for individuals having overlapping features of Noonan's syndrome and neurofibromatosis (the so-called Noonan/neurofibromatosis syndrome) and the syndrome of “multiple naevi, multiple schwannomas and multiple vaginal leiomyomas”. In this article we review the forms of neurofibromatosis which we believe are true clinical entities. Particular attention is given to the neurological manifestations of neurofibromatosis.

    Notes: Abstract The etiology of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is usually explained as a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function. Phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK1) is a rate limiting enzyme in glycolysis, and its muscle subtype (PFK1-M) deficiency leads to an autosomal recessively inherited disorder known as glycogenosis type VII or Tarui’s disease. It was evaluated whether PFK1-M deficiency leads to NIDDM in humans. A core family of four was evaluated for PFK1-M deficiency by DNA- and enzyme-activity-analyses. All members underwent oral and intravenous glucose tolerance test (oGTT/ivgtt), as well as an insulin sensitivity test (IST) using octreotide. Results: Father (46 years, BMI 22.4 kg/m2) and older son (19 years, BMI 17.8 kg/m5) showed homozygous PFK1-M deficiency, while mother (47 years, BMI 28.4 kg/m5) and younger son (13 years, BMI 16.5 kg/m5) were shown to be heterozygously PFK1-M-deficient on enzyme activity levels. DNA analysis revealed an exon 5-missense-mutation at one allele of all four members, and an exon 22-frameshift-mutation at the other allele of the two homozygously affected individuals. By oGTT the father showed impaired glucose tolerance, and the mother clinical diabetes. By ivGTT both parents and the older son had a decreased first phase insulin secretion, and a diminished glucose disappearance rate. The IST showed marked insulin resistance in both parents and the older son, and moderate resistance in the younger son, previously not described. Conclusion: PFK1-M-deficiency leads to a metabolic state typical for early NIDDM in homozygously affected humans, especially concerning insulin resistance and loss of first phase beta-cell insulin secretion, and may contribute to the manifestation of NIDDM in a subgroup of patients.

    Notes: Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disorder characterised by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Whilst the primary pathogenic trigger is unknown in most cases, evidence is mounting to implicate a role for glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity in the disorder. Recent studies have shown reduced levels of the mainly astroglial glutamate transporter EAAT2 in ALS motor cortex and spinal cord and multiple abnormal EAAT2 mRNA species in ALS brain tissue. One cause of the low EAAT2 levels may be that point mutations in the EAAT2 gene, EAAT2, result in an abnormal unstable protein. To test this hypothesis we analysed EAAT2 in 128 sporadic and 23 familial European ALS cases. No variants within the coding sequence of EAAT2 to affect the protein sequence nor in the consensus splice sites of the flanking intronic sequences were found in any cases, similar to findings in other reports. Frequent polymorphisms within the flanking intronic sequences of both exons 2 and 4 were seen but at similar frequencies in controls. Mechanisms other than mutations within the coding region of EAAT2 must therefore be responsible for the low levels of EAAT2 seen in most cases of ALS.

    Notes: Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has a significant genetic background manifested as autosomal dominant inheritance in some early-onset families and as familial risk in late-onset cases. Three genes responsible for early-onset autosomal dominant AD have been identified, and one gene, apolipoprotein E, has been confirmed as a susceptibility gene for late-onset forms of the disorder. These findings raise the possibility of genetic testing, either for early diagnosis or prediction. For early-onset autosomal dominant AD genetic testing will have a limited but useful role in confirming diagnosis in established cases and in predictive counselling for relatives; a situation analogous to that for Huntington’s disease. For late-onset AD significant problems remain to be overcome before the advances in molecular genetics have a direct clinical application

    Notes: Abstract  The self-incompatibility in yellow passion fruit was previously described as homomorphic sporophytic with monofactorial inheritance. Five progenies were obtained by bud-selfing. The plants of these progenies were selfed, reciprocally crossed within each progeny and crossed with known incompatible phenotypes to identify their phenotypic group. Fruit set was evaluated at the 7th day after pollination. Two progenies consisted of two self-incompatible groups, the other three formed three suck groups. The groups were identified as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. The results provide evidence that the self-incompatibility of passion fruit is controlled by two loci, the S-gene and another, whose expression needs to be investigated.

    Notes: Abstract  Six almond progenies, each the product of a cross between a self-compatible and a self-incompatible parent, were analysed for stylar ribonucleases. Proteins were extracted and separated using non-equilibrium pH gradient electrofocusing (NEPHGE), and the gels were stained for ribonuclease activity. Most seedlings showed either two principal bands, interpreted as corresponding to two incompatibility alleles, or a single band. The seedlings were also bagged in the field at flowering time to determine fruit set after selfing, and some were also examined for the growth of pollen-tubes in selfed styles using UV fluorescence microscopy. With very few exceptions, those seedlings showing single-banded zymograms were found to be self-compatible according to field and microscope studies, and those with two bands were found to be self-incompatible. We conclude that the allele for self-compatibility in almond does not code for ribonuclease activity and that the ribonuclease isoenzyme assay is a convenient technique for predicting self-compatibility in segregating progenies. A novel band in two derivatives of ’Ferrastar’ was ascribed to a new incompatibility allele, S 10 .

    Notes: Abstract  The genetic studies of syndromic craniosynostoses lead to the characterisation of genes that regulate the correct development of the bones of the skull. From these studies, it appears that FGF/FGFR signalling has a crucial role in this problem. Numerous mutations affecting the genes coding for FGFR1, 2 or 3 are responsible for these syndromes. It is interesting to note that some identical mutations produced various different phenotypes, suggesting that other genes modulate the phenotypic expressivity. The other involved genes in these syndromes code for such proteins as Msx2 or Twist that interact in the cellular pathways responsible for FGF action. From these genetic studies, it is now important to establish the role of these proteins during the development of the skull. Msx2 plays a repressive role in osteogenesis, whereas FGFRs act as promoting proteins. In the near future, it will be very important to improve our understanding of these phenomena in order to test specific treatments to prevent the development of such syndromes.

    Notes: -The reaction of primary amines bearing tertiary alkyl groups (e.g. R-NH2; R = tBu, 1-adamantyl) with nitrosobenzenes has been found to proceed by oxidative nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen, thereby affording N-(tert-alkyl)-ortho- and -para-nitrosoanilines. The replacement of hydrogen proceeds more rapidly than the replacement of ortho- or para-nitro or -bromo substituents. With p-nitronitrosobenzene, both ortho-hydrogen atoms are substituted to afford N,N′-di(tert-alkyl)-4-nitro-2-nitroso-1,3-phenylenediamines 8a,b. The addition of oxidizing agents (e.g. MnO2) increases the yield of products. 1H-, 13C-, 14N- and 15N-NMR studies have confirmed the structures of the compounds under investigation. In ortho-nitrosoanilines, the rotamer with the nitroso group syn to the amino group is favored.

    Notes: -9,10-Didehydroanthracene (1) is an interesting derivative of p-benzyne that has been subject of several studies. In contrast to an earlier report, the photochemical decarbonylation of 9,10-dicarbonyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (2) does not lead to 1 but rather to the ring-opened ene-diyne 4. The key intermediate for this reaction is keto carbene 7 which is formed by monodecarbonylation of 2. Carbene 7 is labile towards visible-light irradiation and easily looses the second CO molecule to give 4. Carbene 7 and diyne 4 are characterized by IR and UV/Vis spectra, the IR spectra are compared to calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory.

    Notes: -Commonly observed, but rarely explored, is the possibility of modifying the diastereomeric excess (de%) by means of temperature. A complete reversal in the diastereofacial selectivity could be obtained whenever the diastereoisomers concerned are differentially favored by enthalpy and entropy. The enthalpic or entropic dominance of a diastereoisomer depends greatly on the reaction solvent used.

The components for condensations were 2-trimethylsilyl-1,3-dithiane (6), 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1H-cyclopropa[b]naphthalene (7), its 3,6-dimethoxy-substituted analogue 8, fluorene (12), xanthene (13), diethyl malonate (14), and malononitrile (15). The condensation reactions with 5 yielded mono- and disubstituted products, among them were the donor-acceptor-substituted 2,6-stellanes 33-35. The structures of 18 (prepared from stellanone and fluorene), 19, 24, 27, 31 and 32 (synthesized by condensation of 2,6-stelladione and 2-trimethylsilyl-1,3-dithiane and malononitrile, respectively) were determined by X-ray crystallography.

    Notes: -O-Alkylation of cyclic thiohydroxamic acids 1 and 3-5 has been studied with a view to developing an efficient method for the synthesis of N-(alkoxy)pyridine-2(1H)-thiones and N-(alkoxy)thiazole-2(3H)-thiones. Four issues have been addressed and the following conclusions can be drawn: (i) Thiones 1 and 5 exist as O-H acids in the solid state. (ii) According to NMR investigations (1H, 13C), the thione structures should be largely retained in CDCl3, [D6]DMSO, and CD3OD solutions of acids 1, 3-5, as is also the case for pyridinethione salts 2a-h. (iii) O-Alkylation of pyridinethione salts occurs in competition with S-alkylation. Selective O-alkylation is however possible, if thiohydroxamate salts with large countercations, such as M = NBu4, are treated with hard alkylating reagents in polar aprotic media. (iv) As tetrabutylammonium thiohydroxamates, such as 2f, are highly useful in the synthesis of cyclic thiohydroxamic acid O-esters, we have developed an efficient protocol for the preparation of N-(alkoxy)pyridine-2(1H)-thiones directly from acid 1 using phase-transfer conditions (alkyl halide or sulfonic acid ester, CH3CN, K2CO3, Bu4NHSO4). This method has proved particularly successful for the synthesis of N-(alkoxy)thiazole-2(3H)-thiones 11, 20-28, which were obtained in yields of up to 87%.

    Notes: -A collection of 5′-O-benzyl-2′,3′-dideoxy-4′-(fluoromethyl)nucleosides carrying both purinic and pyrimidinic nucleobases (uracil, 5-Br-uracil, 5-O2N-uracil, 6-Cl-purine and inosine) were synthesized in both the α and the β form. Through-space-transmitted 6JCF NMR coupling constants between F and C-6 (pyrimidinic base) or C-8 (purinic base) were observed for all of the α anomers of the compounds examined, whilst the corresponding 7JHF coupling constants were resolved only for the 5-substituted uracil derivatives. The absolute values of all the through-space couplings were found to decrease monotonically with increasing solvent polarity (CDCl3, MeOD, [D6]acetone, [D6]DMSO). This trend suggests that the through-space interaction is mediated by an intramolecular (sp3)C-F…H-C(sp2) hydrogen bond. The possibility of any relevant solvent-induced conformational change influencing the F/base mutual spatial relationship in the molecules investigated was ruled out by heteronuclear steady-state 1H{19F}-NOE experiments. A linear correlation was observed between 6JCF and 7JHF coupling constants and the Kamlet-Taft's hydrogen bond basicity parameter β. The crystal structures of the α and β anomers of the 5-nitrouracil nucleoside show evidence that the H-6 of the nucleobase forms hydrogen-bond-like interactions involving the O-benzyl oxygen atom in the β anomer, and that in the case of the α anomer this is replaced by the F atom of the fluoromethyl group.

    Notes: -The introduction of alkynyl groups into the 2,3-positions of the 1,4-diazabuta-1,3-diene (DAD) backbone succeeds along two complementary synthetic routes either by condensing triisopropylsilyl-terminated dialkynyl-1,2-diones with primary aromatic amines or by a palladium-mediated alkynylation of bis(imidoyl chlorides). X-ray crystallographic analyses of two dialkynyl DAD derivatives reveals their planar (E-s-trans-E) conformations in the solid state. However, the central CC bond of both DAD backbones investigated has a length of 1.491(2) Å, and is therefore too long to indicate efficient delocalization across the DAD core. The UV/Vis spectra of dialkynyl DADs demonstrate that their absorptions in comparison to those of non-alkynyl DADs are bathochromically shifted by more than 40 nm, thereby demonstrating the suitability of the title compounds for developing NIR chromophores. The electron absorption properties of differentially N,N′-disubstituted dialkynyl DADs gave no indication for a push-pull effect across the DAD skeleton and suggest the ynimine moiety as the active chromophore of dialkynyl DADs. The electrochemical properties of the title compounds were determined by cyclo- and steady state voltammetry and show that introducing alkynyl groups leads to more easily reducible DAD systems. Again, the perception of dialkynyl DADs as covalently linked, but electronically decoupled ynimine units is corroborated by the redox potential of a differentially N,N′-disubstituted dialkynyl DAD. Similar conclusions were drawn from semiempirical MO (PM3) calculations of dialkynyl DADs.

    Notes: -Two phosphonate analogs of mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) have been synthesized. The isosteric analog 1 was obtained by a Wittig-Horner reaction at position 6 of a sugar aldehyde. The non-isosteric analog 2 was obtained by a Michaelis-Arbuzov rearrangement of a 6-bromo derivative. In contrast to the non-isosteric analog 2, the isoster 1 was shown to bind to M6P receptors as effectively as does M6P itself, thus demonstrating the considerable potential of the system in drug design.

    Notes: -When treated with butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide for 2 h at 0 °C in hexanes, the unsaturated monoterpenic alcohol isopulegol is simultaneously deprotonated at the hydroxy function and the allylic methyl group. The metaloxy allylmetal species thus generated can be silylated, alkylated, carboxylated and oxidized to afford the expected products in good to excellent yields. Thus, a specific protection of hydroxy groups is not required, alcohols being instantaneously converted by superbases into alcoholates.

    Notes: -To gain insight into the chemical nature of drug-induced photoallergy, model studies have been carried out on the photochemical modification of proteins by tiaprofenic acid. Irradiation of decarboxylated tiaprofenic acid (DTPA) in the presence of p-cresol leads to C-C- and C-O-connected p-cresol “dimers”, together with DTPA hydrodimers. The p-cresol-DTPA cross-coupling product was not detected in this reaction. However, a product of this type is formed using a more hindered phenol, such as 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. Similar results are obtained when tiaprofenic acid (TPA) or its methyl ester are used as photosensitizers. The observed formation of “dimers” can be related to protein photo-crosslinking, through the coupling of two tyrosine units. On the other hand, phenol-(D)TPA cross-coupling may be relevant to the understanding of drug-protein photobinding.

    Notes: -A novel asymmetric synthesis of 1-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines has been developed. The key step in this synthesis is the diastereoselective addition of homochiral (2-lithiophenyl)acetaldehyde acetals to the sulfonylimine 25 and to the arylimines 28 and 31. The best diastereoselectivity is obtained by addition of the bis(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-substituted 1,3-dioxolane 6e to benzylidene-p-anisidine (31) with an HPLC-determined diastereomeric ratio 32c/33c = 92.1:7.9. The N-tosyl and the N-(4-methoxyphenyl) groups of the addition products 26d, 27d, 32c, and 33c are cleaved with sodium in liquid ammonia and ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate, respectively, to yield the primary amines 35 and 36. The acid-catalysed cyclization of the sulfonamides 26d and 27d and the carbamates 37 and 38, prepared from 35 and 36, leads to the enantiomerically pure dihydroisoquinolines 40 and 41, respectively. During the cyclization of the sulfonamides 26d, 27d and the carbamates 37, 38 the chiral auxiliary - the diol 39 - is cleaved unchanged and can be recovered in good yields.

    Notes: -The samarium diiodide pinacol coupling of benzaldehyde and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde in the presence of a variety of polyethylene glycols, including derivatives containing carbohydrates has been studied. Whereas such complexing agents allow for the formation of 1,2-diols, in the case of benzaldehyde the erythro-isomer predominates with diastereoselectivities of up to 7:1, while with cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde a stereoselectivity of up to 10:1 was observed but in favor of the threo-isomer. This divergence in the stereoselectivity of these two aldehydes suggests the presence of two different mechanisms occurring in these pinacol coupling reactions.

    Notes: -7,8-Dimethoxy-7,8-diphenyl- (1c), 7,8-dimethyl-7,8-diphenyl- (1d), 7-methoxy-7,8,8-triphenyl- (1e), 7-methyl-7,8,8-triphenyl- (1f), 7-isocyano-7,8,8-triphenyl- (1g), and 7,7,8-triphenylbenzocyclobutene (1h) are amenable to a variety of thermal rearrangements following initial electrocyclic ring-opening to the corresponding 7,8-diphenyl- (2c,d) and 7,8,8-triphenyl-o-quinodimethanes (2e-h). meso-1c was found to undergo a facile meso/rac isomerization at room temperature, indicating that other processes such as a symmetry-forbidden disrotatory ring-opening or a stepwise reaction compete with the symmetry-allowed conrotatory process. An estimate of the energy profile of the 1c/2c reaction system was made by kinetic simulation in combination with oxygen trapping of the intermediate o-quinodimethanes (2c) and semiempirical PM3 calculations, and revealed that the barrier for the symmetry-forbidden pathway is merely about 4 kJ·mol-1 higher than that for the symmetry-allowed one. o-Quinodimethanes 2c, 2g, 2e, and 2h underwent further electrocyclic hexatriene-cyclohexadiene ring-closure to give 4a,10-dihydroanthracene derivatives at temperatures between 20 and 80 °C. The 4a,10-dihydroanthracenes were further transformed to 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes by elimination of methanol or HCN, as well as to 9,10-substituted 9,10-dihydroanthracene derivatives. ESR and ENDOR spectroscopic detection of related 9-anthryl radicals lends support to the view that 9,10-dihydroanthracene products are formed by a homolytic hydrogen-transfer reaction (retrodisproportionation). By way of contrast, the aforementioned transformations play only a minor role in the case of methyl-substituted benzocyclobutenes 1d, 1f as here they are overruled by faster 1,5-H shift reactions of the corresponding o-quinodimethanes 2d, 2f, leading to styrene derivatives.

    Notes: -Acenaphtho[1,2-a]acenaphthylene (1) was sulfurated with elemental sulfur to give a pentathiepane derivative (2). A dynamic NMR spectrum analysis revealed that the two naphthalene rings of 2 are chemically nonequivalent up to 100 °C. The pentathiepane ring of 2 was shown to adopt a chair conformation both in solution and crystals. In accordance with the NMR spectrum analysis, the sulfuration of 5-phenylacenaphtho[1,2-a]acenaphthylene (12) gave a pair of conformers (16a and 16b), which were isolated in pure form. The Friedel-Crafts acetylation of 2, followed by dithioacetalization with 1,2-ethanedithiol, also gave a pair of isolable conformers (18a and 18b). These two pairs of conformers isomerized, as a result of the ring inversion, to each other in solution at room temperature in the first-order kinetics. The activation parameters for this process, Ea, ΔH#, and ΔS#, were determined. Based on the experimental observations, a probable mechanism for the inversion process is proposed.

    Notes: -Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in the presence of sodium iodide catalyses the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to α,β-unsaturated ketones and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with extraordinary efficiency. The very mild conditions allow high chemoselectivity as shown by the absence of the typical side reactions, which can be observed in the conventional base-catalyzed processes. More interestingly, when at least one of the starting materials is liquid at room temperature, the reaction can also be performed without solvents. The CeCl3· 7 H2O/NaI catalyst system can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and it can be reused without an appreciable loss of activity. Advantages of the present procedure, which utilizes cheap and “friendly” reagents, over the previously reported ones, are discussed.

    Notes: -Chemical reduction (Zn/AcOH) of the arene 1 and of 2(4),5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine 7 has been reinvestigated, resulting in the amendment of literature data concerning this reaction. Chemical, electrochemical, and photochemically induced reductions and ring contractions of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives have been compared. The first example of a triaryl-1,4-dihydrotriazine has been prepared. Some further evidence is presented that supports the proposed mechanism of the photochemically induced reduction and ring contraction of 1,2,4-triazines.

    Notes: -1-O-Acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-4-thio-L-arabino-furanose (9) has been prepared from D-xylose via the 1,4-dithio-L-arabino-furanoside 8. The crucial step of the reaction, i.e. the intramolecular cyclization of the open-chain dithioacetal 5, has been achieved in a yield of 90% by applying tetrabutylammonium iodide as promoter. Reaction of 9 with bis(trimethylsilyl)uracil or -thymine led to the benzyl derivatives 12 and 13 from which the deprotected 4′-thionucleoside analogues 14 and 15 have been prepared by debenzylation with boron tribromide.

    Notes: -The steric effects of allylic substituents in the epoxidations with methyltrioxorhenium/urea/hydrogen peroxide adduct (MTO/UHP) have been assessed for a series of 3-alkyl-substituted cyclohexenes. The trans selectivity increases with the size of the substituent and the diastereoselectivities follow an excellent linear correlation with the steric substituent constants of Taft (Es) or Charton (ν). Good cis selectivity is observed in the epoxidation of the cyclic allylic alcohols 2-cyclopentenol and 2-cyclohexenol due to a hydroxy-directing effect through hydrogen bonding; however, for 2-cycloheptenol and 2-cyclooctenol hydrogen bonding is ineffective and steric interactions cause a higher trans selectivity. The conformationally fixed cis- and trans-5-tert-butyl-2-cyclohexenols serve as suitable substrates for gauging the dihedral angle of the transition states for the oxygen transfer in these epoxidations. Thus, the MTO/UHP oxidant favours a quasi-equatorial arrangement of the hydroxy group for effective hydrogen bonding (hydroxy-group directivity), in analogy to m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) and dimethyldioxirane (DMD), and a dihedral angle of ca. 130° is suggested.

    Notes: -A stereoselective multi-step one-pot procedure for converting 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-alkenols into 3-methoxycarbonyl-2,5-dihydrofurans, using only catalytic amounts of diphenyl diselenide and an excess of ammonium persulfate, has been developed. The erythro alkenols give the trans dihydrofurans, while the threo stereoisomers give the corresponding cisproducts. The configurations of the starting alkenols were deduced from those of the intermediate phenylseleno tetrahydrofurans, which were independently obtained from reactions of the alkenols with stoichiometric amounts of phenylselenenyl sulfate.

    Notes: -Some naturally occurring carbohydrates, of which several hydroxy groups had been selectively protected, were condensed with formamidine to give the expected imidazole derivatives in the D-arabino (9), D-lyxo (12), L-xylo (17), D-threo (21), and in the L- and D-erythro (24) series. Introduction of a strong leaving group at the remaining free alcohol function of these products led at once to intramolecular SN2 cyclisation to the corresponding bicyclic aza sugar derivatives. This was followed by total deprotection to give the target aza sugars in the L-xylo (7), L-ribo (14), D-arabino (19), as well as in the D-threo (22) and the L- and D-erythro (26) series. Inhibitory assays with four glycosidases showed that the D-arabino aza sugar 19 is the only potent inhibitor (for an α-mannosidase of jack bean).

    Notes: -Two bis(2-oxy-1,3-propylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene-containing acyclic polyethers and two macrocyclic polyethers, each incorporating one bis(2-oxy-1,3-propylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene unit and one p-phenylene ring, have been synthesized. The two acyclic polyethers are bound by cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) with pseudorotaxane geometries in solution. The two macrocyclic polyethers have been mechanically interlocked with this tetracationic cyclophane to form [2]catenanes in a kinetically controlled self-assembly process. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of one of the two [2]catenanes and 1H-NMR-spectroscopic studies of both compounds showed that the p-phenylene ring of the macrocyclic polyether is located inside the cavity of the tetracationic cyclophane, while the bis(2-oxy-1,3-propylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene unit resides alongside. The [2]pseudorotaxanes and [2]catenanes show broad bands around 780 nm, arising from the charge-transfer (CT) interaction between the electron-donor tetrathiafulvalene-(TTF-)type unit and the electron-acceptor units of the tetracationic cyclophane. 1H-NMR-spectroscopic studies have shown that the [2]pseudorotaxanes dissociate into their separate components upon oxidation of the TTF-type unit, as a result of disruption of the CT interaction and electrostatic repulsion between the tetracationic host and the newly formed monocationic guest. The subsequent reduction of the guest to its neutral state affords back the pseudorotaxane-type complex restoring the original equilibrium. The results obtained from electrochemical experiments are consistent with the reversible, redox-driven dethreading/rethreading process observed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Variable-temperature 1H-NMR-spectroscopic investigations have revealed two dynamic processes, both involving the relative movements of the mechanically interlocked components in the [2]catenanes. The two consecutive oxidation processes involving the TTF-type unit, observed electrochemically, are displaced toward more positive potentials compared with the free cyclic polyethers. The two reversible two-electron reduction processes, characteristic of free cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), separate into four reversible one-electron processes because of the topological difference between the “inside” and “alongside” electron-acceptor units in the [2]catenane.

An exception was found with naphthyl derivatives, which gave mixtures of two regioisomers. In all cases, the products generated have been unambiguously characterized by 1H-, 13C-, and 31P-NMR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray-diffraction analysis.

    Notes: -The sulfur-linked pentathiohexasaccharide 3I,3IV-di-β-D-glucopyranosylthiogentiotetraose (12) has been prepared by a convergent approach involving the reaction of 1,2,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-iodo-3-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-thio-β-D-glucopyranose (10) with the sodium salt of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-S-[2,4-di-O-acetyl-3,6-di-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3,6-dithio-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-1,6-dithio-β-D-glucopyranose (4). A further reaction, involving the sodium salt of the peracetylated β-1-thio derivative of 12 with 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-iodo-β-D-glucopyranose (26), afforded the homologous sulfur-linked hexathioheptasaccharide 3II,3V-di-β-D-glucopyranosylthiogentiopentaose (28). Related sulfur-linked positional isomers 3II,3IV-di-D-β-glucopyranosylthiogentiotetraose (34) and 3III,3V-di-β-D-glucopyranosylthiogentiopentaose (39) have been prepared using analogous synthetic strategies. Thus, SN2 displacement of the iodine atom in 10 by the sodium salt of 2,4-di-O-acetyl-3,6-di-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,3,6-trithio-β-D-glucopyranose afforded a tetrathiopentasaccharide, which resulted in the pentathiohexasaccharide 34 by a sequence of reactions involving the 1-thioglycose 32 in reaction with 26. The hexathioheptasaccharide 39 was obtained conveniently by the reaction of 26 with the acetylated 1-thio-6I, 3II, 6II, 3IV, 6IV-pentathio derivative 37, followed by deacylation. The four isomeric pentathiohexa- and hexathioheptasaccharides 12,34 and 28,39, respectively, were all found to be active in eliciting phytoalexin accumulation in soybean cotyledon tissue and in binding to a glucan-binding protein of soybean, although to a lesser extent than the corresponding O-oligosaccharides, the alternate thiohexa- and thioheptasaccharides 12,28 being more active as compared to the geminally branched isomers 34,39.

    Notes: -Bicyclopropylidene (3) and 1,2-dimethylenecyclobutane (7) have been irradiated in rare-gas matrices. If 1,2-dimethylenecyclobutane (7) is exposed to the light of a KrF excimer laser (λ = 248 nm), an isomeric species is produced, showing an absorption at 793.1 cm-1 (argon matrix) or 791.2 cm-1 (xenon matrix) in the IR spectrum. The back reaction can be induced with light of λ = 254 nm. This photochemical interconversion, together with the comparison between the experimental and calculated band positions, supports the assignment of the IR absorption near 790 cm-1 to tetramethyleneethane (5).

    Notes: -N-(Hydroxy)thiazole-2(3H)-thiones 6-10 have been prepared in a short and efficient synthesis from p-substituted acetophenones. Alkylation of heterocycles 6-10 in the form of their potassium or tetraalkylammonium salts 11-15 affords N-alkoxy-4-arylthiazole-2(3H)-thiones 16-20 in good to satisfactory yields. The hitherto unknown thiones 16-20 have been subjected to a detailed structural investigation (NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography) and furthermore to a mechanistic study in order to explore their utility as sources of oxygen-centered radicals in solution. From the results of these studies, the following conclusions can be drawn: (i) X-ray analyses of the p-chlorophenyl-substituted acid 9, of the O-alkyl derivatives 19c, 19f, and of the O-mixed anhydride 19k indicate short C-S bonds [C2-S2 = 1.637(5)-1.684(2) Å] and long N-O connectivities [N3-O1 = 1.369(3)-1.379(2) Å] in the thiohydroxamate functionalities. Furthermore, O-alkyl- or O-acyl substituents at O1 are twisted out of the thiazolethione plane by ca. 90°, which points to lone-pair repulsion between nitrogen and oxygen atom as the underlying structural motif of the cyclic thiohydroxamate derivatives. (ii) Alkylation of ambidentate thiohydroxamate anions (salts 11-15; oxygen and sulfur nucleophiles) affords almost exclusively O-esters 16-20 (alkylation at the oxygen atom). (iii) Based on the results of X-ray diffraction studies and on the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, guidelines for the characterization of N-(alkoxy)thiazolethiones 16-20 and 2-(alkylsulfanyl)thiazole N-oxides 21-25, i.e. the products of S-alkylation of thiohydroxamate salts 11-15, could be derived. (iv) Photolyses of substituted N-(4-pentenoxy)-4-arylthiazolethiones 16-20 in general and in particular of p-chloro derivatives 19 were carried out in the presence of the hydrogen donor Bu3SnH, and afforded substituted tetrahydrofurans 31 or tetrahydropyrans 32 as major products in good yields. The observed stereo- and regioselectivities of ethers 31 and 32 point to alkoxyl radicals 30 as reactive intermediates, which add intramolecularly by selective 5-exo-trig or 6-endo-trig pathways to the olefinic double bonds. In terms of synthetic access and ease of handling of the radical precursors, the p-chlorophenyl-substituted thiazolethiones 9 and 19 exhibit significant advantages over all the other thiones used in this study and are considered as excellent substitutes for the pyridinethiones as efficient sources of free alkoxyl radicals. Consequently, the present compounds may be of use in both mechanistic and synthetic studies.

    Notes: -Starting from enones 7 and 8 siloxydienes 9 and 12 were synthesized. Cyclopropanation and subsequent alkylation with sorbyl bromide provided tetrasubstituted siloxycyclopropanes 15 and 16 in good overall efficiency. Their ring cleavage with fluoride reagents gave 1,7,9-decatrienones 5 and 17; the latter was converted into the protected compound 6. The thermal intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of 5 and 6 were compared with those of related trienones 3 and 4. Octalones 1, 2, 21, and 22 were formed as mixtures of three or four diastereomers. Thus, for the stereoselective construction of natural products such as α-eudesmol or dihydromevinolin alternative reaction conditions for the cycloaddition step have to be developed.

    Notes: -L-Ascorbic acid serves as chiral starting material for the synthesis of (+)-desoxoprosophylline. The synthetic pathway includes the formation of an O-protected 5-azido-2,3-dideoxysugar which is subjected to a tandem Wittig [2+3]-cycloaddition reaction, leading to the heterocyclic core unit of (+)-prosophylline. Stereoselective hydrogenation and chain elongation yields the desired alkaloid.

    Notes: -2,8-Didehydronoradamantan-9-one (2) was readily prepared by oxa-di-π-methane photorearrangement of brend-4-en-2-one (1). Other new 9-substituted 2,8-didehydronoradamantanes have also been prepared from 2, [i.e. 2,8-didehydronoradamantan-9-ol (3) and tosylhydrazone 4] and the ring-opening reactions have been studied. In acidic media, 2,8-didehydronoradamantan-9-ol (3) rearranges to the corresponding 2-substituted brend-4-ene derivatives. Exclusive formation of exo-2-substituted brend-4-enes supports the formation of a bridged bicyclobutonium ion. However, treatment of ketone 2 with PCl5 proceeds through a concerted mechanism by cleavage of the C-1-C-2 bond in 2 to give exo-2,5-dichlorotricyclo[4.2.1.03,8]non-4-ene (6). The tricyclo[4.2.1.03,8]nonane skeleton was also obtained by photochemically induced electron transfer reduction of 2 and reduction of 2 with Li/NH3, as well as by reduction of tosylhydrazone 4 with both NaBH3CN and BH3 × THF. On the other hand, Wolff-Kishner reduction of 2 gave the non-rearranged product, 2,8-didehydronoradamantane (10).

    Notes: -Three 1-alkoxycarbonyl-3-bromoazetidin-2-ones have been prepared by reaction of (3S)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)aminoazetidin-2-one with benzyl, trichloroethyl, and trifluoroethyl chloroformates followed by tBoc deprotection, diazotation of the exocyclic amino function and its substitution with potassium bromide. The 3-bromoazetidin-2-ones were obtained as racemic mixtures. Their hydroxide-catalyzed hydrolysis exclusively affords ring-opening products. Porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) catalyzes the same reaction stereospecifically. Model building suggests that it is the (R) isomer that is enzymatically hydrolysed. The PPE-catalyzed hydrolysis is characterised by low kcat and Km values. Accordingly, these compounds behave as transient inhibitors of the enzyme.

    Notes: -Carbanions of the 2-(alkylthio)thiolane 1-oxides 1 and 2 are generated and subjected to reaction with the epoxides 3-5. The resulting carbinols 6-11 are formed with high α diastereoselectivity, which is explained by a stabilization of the trans configuration of the carbanions in the activated complex. A minor γ stereoselectivity is also observed in case of the reactions with 4 and 5. The pure enantiomers (1S,2S,2′S)-9a and (1R,2R,2′S)-11b were obtained from 2 and (S)-4 or (R)-5, respectively, and their configurations were proved by X-ray structural analyses.

    Notes: From optically active (3Z,9Z)-cis-6,7-epoxy-3,9-henicosadiene (2), all stereoisomers of (3Z)-cis-6,7-cis-9,10-diepoxy-3-henicosene [leucomalure (1)], a sex pheromone component of the Satin moth, were prepared in addition to the cis-3,4-cis-6,7-diepoxy analog (3). Specifically, MCPBA oxidation of each enantiomer of this epoxydiene yielded a mixture of four compounds, namely two diastereomeric sets of leucomalure and the positional isomer, which were easily separable by chiral HPLC equipped with either a Chiralpak AD column or a Chiralcel OJ-R column. Their chemical structures were determined by 2D-NMR analyses, and it was further confirmed that the chiral HPLC columns also had a high capability of resolving the enantiomers of these diepoxides.

    Notes: Polyphosphane polyoxides with (O)PCP(O) linkages are powerful chelating agents for extraction of actinides from nuclear wastes. They are obtained either by the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction of chloromethylphosphane oxides and phosphorus(III) esters, or by the reaction of phosphane oxide carbanions with chlorophosphanes. With the latter method, the addition of a phosphane oxide carbanion in excess allowed us to overcome a transmetallation reaction and thereby obtain polyphosphane polyoxides in good yields. The 1H-NMR spectra of the PCH2P groups show the influence of the different R groups attached to the phosphorus atoms. We determined the coupling constants and the chemical shifts of these spin systems.

    Notes: The novel 2,6-donor-acceptor-substituted anthracene, namely 6-methoxy-2-anthracene carboxylic acid (7), was synthesized. The emission of this compound exhibits significant solvatochromism. The fluorescence band position and intensity are also remarkably sensitive to H+. Irradiation of the anthracene 7 in solution yields the syn and anti head-to-tail dimers exclusively. A synergistic electronic effect between the donor and acceptor substituents is proposed to operate on the photophysical and photochemical properties of anthracene 7.

While the cyclooctane derivatives 5 and 8 have conformations favourable for through-space interactions of the π(C=N) orbitals, in the other compounds no such interactions can be ascertained. Through-space orbital interactions in the molecules with an eight-membered ring lead to a splitting of the π(C=N) MOs of 0.4 eV.

Finally, the oxidation of tricarbonyl(η6-1,3-indandione)chromium(0) with dimethyldioxirane gave the ninhydrin complex in 75% yield in equilibrium with the indantrione complex. The latter reacts in hetero Diels-Alder reactions with dienes with diastereoselective formation of spiro anellated pyran derivatives.

    Notes: -Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs) are DNA mimics in which the deoxyribose phosphate backbone has been replaced by a pseudo-peptide skeleton composed of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units; they bind to complementary DNA strands with high affinity and selectivity. In order to study the effect of stereogenic centers within the backbone on PNA preorganization and DNA binding properties, chiral PNA decamers were synthesized which contained thymine monomers derived from L-Leu and D- or L-Lys inserted either at C-terminus and/or in the middle of an achiral PNA strand. PNAs containing three chiral thymine monomers derived from L-Leu, D- or L-Lys, L-Asp, or D-Glu were also synthesized. CD spectral analyses showed that a charged chiral monomer inserted in the middle of the strand is able to induce a strong preference in the helix handedness of a PNA-PNA duplex. The effect is increased by the presence of three chiral charged monomers. The L-Lys- and L-Asp-PNAs induced a preference for the left-handed and the D-Lys and D-Glu-PNAs for the right-handed conformation. As expected, the PNA-DNA duplexes are dominated by the DNA strand and thus are right-handed with both D- and L-PNAs. However, the D-PNAs, being inherently right-handed, lead to more stable PNA-DNA duplexes than the L-PNAs. The lysine-based PNAs form more stable complexes with the DNA at low ionic strength, due to the electrostatic interactions between the charged lysine side chain and DNA.

Ectyoplasides A and B have been shown to possess identical sugar chains (composed of two β-galactose units and one α-arabinose unit), but to differ in their aglycone moieties, which possess nortriterpene skeletons with an unprecedented substitution pattern on ring A. Ectyoplasides A and B show moderate cytotoxic activity when tested in vitro towards various cell lines

    Notes: -The title reactions have been studied to scrutinize rate data recently inferred for the two reverse steps - reaction of phenoxy radicals with chlorobenzene and bromobenzene - which were at variance with commonly accepted model values. Both with chlorine and bromine atoms, splitting to halobenzene and phenoxy radical was found to occur in competition with abstraction of o-, m-, p-hydrogen atoms. On this basis, the displacements of Cl and Br from the benzene ring by phenoxy radicals must have activation energies above 20 kcal/mol, and are therefore slow. As a consequence, formation of “dioxins” from halogenated phenols, in (slow) combustion, should proceed by combination of two (halo)phenoxy radicals rather than by displacement of (ortho-)halogen in a halophenol molecule.

    Notes: -The site of deprotonation of several types of amide acids (carboxylic amides and imides, sulfonamides, cyanamide, N-hydroxyurea) has been investigated by quantum chemical calculations and heteronuclear NMR measurements. Relative energies of tautomeric ions deriving from protonation at the various sites were determined both in the gas phase and in water (by the IPCM continuum solvation method). NMR properties (nuclear shielding and electric field gradient) of the involved heteronuclei were calculated and compared with experimental 14N, 17O and 33S chemical shifts and relaxation rates.

    Notes: The primordial influence of the silyl group in an intramolecular thermal H-ene reaction is reported. The silyl group lowered the energy of the transition state and allowed the reaction to proceed at a lower temperature than that of the simple all-carbon analog, thereby excluding the formation of undesirable by-products. This sequence has been applied for new access to a key intermediate in the diastereoselective synthesis of (±)-cis-γ-irone with high chemocontrol and significantly improved overall yield.

    Notes: The borate ester of 1a and 2e exhibits complete quaternization of the boron center. An equilibrium is observed between the two diastereomeric complexes 3 and 4 formed by coordination to the boron center of either amino group of 2e. At -78°C, this equilibrium is slow on the NMR timescale and a diastereomeric ratio of about 3:1 is observed. At room temperature, a rapid equilibration is observed resulting in two NMR resonances (both 1H and 13C) for the dimethylamino groups of 2e in 3/4. Comparison with the NMR characteristics of the analogous borate complexes of 1h and 1j and of 2c and 2d shows that these resonances each correspond to both methyl groups of a single dimethylamino group. The chemical shift difference occurs solely from the difference between the time fractions that the dimethylamino groups are coordinated to the boron center, and forms, therefore, a direct measure of the ratio 3/4. This ratio amounts to 63:37 at room temperature, which was confirmed by a protonation titration experiment. The elucidation of these NMR characteristics of B(1a)(2e) allowed the more rapid evaluation of the enantiotopic group recognition in many other borate complexes, which range from 57:43 to 67:33 at room temperature. The recognition of the (after complexation) diastereotopic dimethylamino groups of 2e in the borate complex B(1a)(2e) was utilized in a consecutive methylation reaction, which yielded enantiomerically enriched ammonium salt 7. The enantiomeric excess proved to be identical to the diastereomeric excess observed in the preceding recognition event. Strong evidence is presented that complex 3 is indeed the major diastereomer present in a solution of 3/4, as expected from molecular models.

    Notes: -The diphosphatricyclooctenes 8a, b are obtained from reactions of the phosphaacetylene 2 with the buta-1,3-dienes 6a, b through a reaction sequence involving Diels-Alder, ene, and intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with the intermediates 7 and 9. An ab initio MO investigation at the MP2/6-31+G* level of theory has provided reasons why the postulated intermediates cannot be detected. The polycyclic products 8a, b were characterized in the form of the corresponding metal carbonyl complexes 10a, b, and 11. Reaction of the silylated phosphaalkyne 2 with cyclohexa-1,4-diene (12) furnishes the monophosphatricyclooctene 14; this reaction has also been studied by means of ab initio calculations. The result of the reaction of 2 with cyclopentadiene (15), however, is a complete surprise: the triphosphaspiropolycyclic system 17 is formed, apparently through Diels-Alder, homo-Diels-Alder, and homo [4 + 1] cycloaddition reactions with the intermediates 16 and 18.

    Notes: -The reactions between 1,4-bis(diethylamino)-2,3-dinitro-1,3-butadiene (2), easily obtainable by ring-opening of 3,4-dinitrothiophene with diethylamine, and 2-substituted vinylmagnesium bromides gave good yields of the 4,5-dinitro-1,3,5,7-octatetraene derivatives 3a-e. With 1-phenylmagnesium bromide, conversely, only 3,4-dinitro-1,4-diphenyl-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene (4f) was obtained. From the unsubstituted dinitrooctatetraene 3a both the octatriene cycloisomer 4a and the valence tautomer of the latter (6a) could be isolated and characterized. The results obtained evidence an unfavourable effect of the two nitro groups on the cycloisomerization process of the octatetraene system.

    Notes: -The synthesis of a variety of kinked oligophenylene building blocks is described. The synthetic strategy is repetitive, utilizes the Suzuki cross-coupling protocol, and involves potentially bifunctional building blocks (modules) which carry one functional group for coupling and one group which serves as place holder. After the coupling, the placeholder is converted into a coupling functionality for the next growth step. The building blocks also carry chloro-substituents which are unaffected by all transformations. For one of the large building blocks it is shown that it actually can be cyclized into an oligophenylene macrocycle with a chloro-substituent at each corner and a pair of hexyl chains at each side.

    Notes: -The stereoselective preparation of 1-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivatives is reported. The key reaction is either a radical cyclization or a radical annulation mediated by the transfer of a phenylseleno group. The radical precursors are easily synthesized by two consecutive enolate alkylations. Excellent stereochemical control for the quaternary C(1) stereogenic center has been achieved.

    Notes: -A new strategy for the semi-synthesis of proteins and enzymes bearing non-natural functional groups is described. In line with our proposal that the replacement of native cofactors by modified cofactors may represent a useful and general methodology for introducing non-natural molecules into cofactor-dependent proteins and enzymes, we have shown that semi-synthetic cofactors bearing non-natural functional units can be incorporated in the proximity of the active sites of enzymes by cofactor reconstitution. A variety of non-natural building units such as a hydrophobic alkyl chain, a polyanion cluster, metal complexes, electron donors or acceptors, a photochromic moiety, peptides, and artificial receptors have successfully been introduced into hemoproteins (myoglobin, hemoglobin, and cytochrome b562) and their effects on the holoproteins have been examined. Incorporation of a long alkyl chain, for example, greatly facilitates conversion of a water-soluble protein into a membrane-bound protein. Attachment of a photosensitizer has enabled us to switch the enzyme activity by means of visible light. Artificial receptors introduced in the proximity of the active site can modulate the structures and activities of native proteins in response to specific guest molecules. This concept has been expanded to include flavoenzymes such as glucose oxidase. An immense variety of non-natural molecules are available that are potentially useful for protein engineering. By combination of the present cofactor reconstitution method with other techniques such as site-directed mutagenesis, chemical modification, peptide semi-synthesis, and non-natural amino acid incorporation using suppressor t-RNA, it should be possible to artificially manipulate native protein molecules with a similar degree of flexibility as that with which organic chemists manipulate small molecules.

    Notes: -The application of the new computer program COCON (Constitutions from Connectivities) to the 2D-NMR data sets of three different complex natural products is described. The investigated compounds are proton-poor and therefore underdetermined systems. For such molecules the number of possible constitutions and the computational speed of COCON are of interest. Our investigation is focused on how methods of 13C-NMR chemical shift prediction can assist chemists with regard to refining the selection among the constitutions proposed by COCON.

    Notes: -The reduction of α-X-acetophenones (X = PhO, Br, Cl), as model compounds for lignin liquefaction studies, has been investigated in the presence of a hydrogen-donating solvent such as 9,10-dihydroanthracene (AnH2) or 2-propanol, between 373 and 573 K. With α-phenoxyacetophenone (PAP) in AnH2, acetophenone and phenol have been obtained with high selectivities. The mechanism involves the reverse radical disproportionation (RRD) with AnH2. Hydrodebromination of α-bromoacetophenone (BrAP) is quantitative at 423 K using AnH2 as a reducing agent. Now, the hydrogen transfer proceeds by an uninhibited radical chain mechanism with anthracenyl radicals as the chain carriers. For the kinetic analysis, the C-X (X = Br, Cl) bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) have been determined by means of very low pressure pyrolysis to give BDE(C-Br) = 271 kJ mol-1 and, as a lower limit, BDE(C-Cl) ≈ 309 kJ mol-1, at 298 K. The BDEs are quite at variance with recently published insights derived from an electrochemical study. For comparison, density functional theory calculations (DFT) have been performed.

    Notes: -A novel, single-chained ammonium amphiphile that carries an o-hydroxyazobenzene unit at the terminus of its hydrophobic chain has been synthesized. This compound forms ordered thread-like aggregates upon dispersion in water. These aggregates exhibit a phase transition at 56 °C. The o-hydroxyazobenzene unit binds several transition-metal ions in a 2:1 stoichiometry. Binding of these metal ions results in a lowering of the critical aggregation concentration. From the changes in the UV absorption spectrum it is concluded that the Cu2+ complex forms more tightly packed aggregates in water than the Zn2+ and Ni2+ complexes.

    Notes: -Synthesis of ether-linked octyl 5a′-carba-β-lactosaminide 3 and -isolactosaminide 5 was carried out in seven steps, starting from the coupling products of 1,2-anhydro-5a-carba-β-D-mannopyranose derivative 7, and the oxide anions generated from the octyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide derivatives 13 and 16, respectively, under basic conditions. The 5a-carba-α-D-mannopyranose residues of the coupling products 17 and 26 were transformed into the β-D-gluco configuration through epimerization of the respective 2′-oxo derivatives 19 and 28, and selective reduction, and then into the β-D-galacto configuration by direct nucleophilic substitution of their 4′,6′-dimesylates 23 and 31 with an acetate ion. Biological assay has shown that 3 is an acceptor substrate for human-milk α-(1→3/4)-fucosyltransferase and, interestingly, 5 is not. In addition, the imino-linked congeners 4 and 6 have been synthesized by coupling of the 4-amino-4-deoxy- and 3-amino-3-deoxy derivatives 37 and 41 of octyl N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide, and the carba-sugar epoxide 8, respectively, and subsequent deprotection. Compound 4 is a substrate while 6 is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor for fucosyltransferase. Small-scale enzymatic synthesis was carried out by treatment of 3 and 4 with GDP-fucose and milk fucosyltransferase, which resulted in conversion into the corresponding trisaccharides 47 and 48, respectively.
