Rhodium(III) cis-dihydrido complexes with 3,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)pyridazine (dppn) and bidiazines. Crystal and molecular structure of [Rh(H)2(dppn)(PPh3)2]PF6· CH2Cl2

The acetone complex [Rh(H)₂(acetone)₂(PPh₃)₂]- PF₆ reacts with bidiazines and 3,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)- pyridazine (dppn) giving the air stable cis-dihydrido rhodium(III) [Rh(H)₂(L)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ complexes. The structure of the dichloromethane solvate of [Rh(H)₂(dppn)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ has been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, with a = 18.629(6), b = 15.339(5), c = 17.146(5) Å, β = 101.02(3)° and Z = 4. The structure has been solved from diffractometer data by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by block-matrix least-squares to R = 0.076 for 6225 observed reflections. In the structure discrete [Rh(H)₂(dppn)(PPh₃)₂]⁺ cationic complexes, PF₆⁻ anions and dichloromethane solvent molecules are present. The Rh atom is octahedrally surrounded by two cis hydride ligands and by two cis nitrogen atoms from a dppn molecule acting as a bidentate chelating ligand through two neighbouring pyridyl and pyridazinyl nitrogen atoms. Two P atoms from PPh₃, ligands in trans apical positions complete to octahedral the coordination of Rh.     

Stereospecific Synthesis and Anti-HIV Activity of (Z)2′- and (E)3′-Deoxy-2′(3′)-C-(chloromethylene) Pyrimidine Nucleosides

Abstract

Reaction of 1-[2,5(and 3,5)-di-O-trityl-β-D-erythro-pentofuran-3 (and 2)-ulosyl]uracil derivatives 5 and 6 with (chloromethyl)triphenylphosphorane resulted in the stereoselective formation of (E)-3′- and (Z)-2′-chloromethylene derivatives 7 (69%) and 8 (53%), respectively, deprotection of which gave 9 and 10. Transformation of the uracil nucleoside 7 into cytosine one followed by deprotection yielded 12. The latter was converted into the arabinoside 14. The fully deprotected chloromethylene nucleosides were tested for their activity against HIV-1 and HIV-2.     

The phenomenon of conglomerate crystallization. XV. Spontaneous resolution in coordination compounds. XIII. The crystallization behaviour and the crystal and molecular structure of Δ(λδ)-cis-Rh(en)2(NO2)2]Cl

The title compound, I, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with cell constants: a = 6.599(3), b = 11.121(2), c = 8.375(1) Å and β = 106.35(2)°; V = 589.74 ų and D(calc; Z = 2) = 1.974 g cm⁻³. The compound is isomorphous and isostructural with its Co analogue. A total of 2982 data were collected over the range of 4°  20  70°; of these, 2537 (independent and with I ⩾ 3σ(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (μ = 16.6 cm⁻¹) and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 1.000 to 0.9504. Refinement was carried out for both enantiomeric configurations and the crystal used was found to contain cations with Δ(λδ) absolute configuration. The final R(F) and R_w(F) residuals were, respectively 0.0220 and 0.0239 for (−−−; i.e.Δ(λδ)) and 0.0231 AND 0.0317 FOR (+++; i.e.Λ(δλ)). Thus, the former was selected as correct for our specimen.In the case of I, as well as in the Co derivative [cis-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂]Cl (II), the conformation of one of the rings is opposite that expected for the lowest energy conformation, which in the current case should be Δ(λλ)).The RhN(NO)₂ distances are 2.020(2) and 2.010(2) Å, while the RhN(amine) distances, trans to the NO₂ ligands are 2.085(2) and 2.093(1) Å, values distinctly longer than the other two RhN distances (2.064(1) and 2.068(1) Å). The latter are the RhN distances to the terminalNH₂ ligands located trans to each other. Thus, we observe a trans effect, which is more pronounced in I than in II, and which is of comparable magnitude to that observed in the case of the trien derivative, [cis-α-Rh(trien)(NO₂)₂]Cl(III).Parallel with an increase in metalN distances in going from [cis-α-Co(trien)NO₂)₂]Cl·H₂) (IV) to (III) is an increase in the torsional angles of the outer rings (NCCN) of about 10°. Comparison of these parameters in I and II reveal that this change is not so marked for this pair since in I they are −54.9° and 52.8° while in II they are 50.2° and −48.1°; i.e. a change of only 4°. This important difference between trien and en derivatives is caused by the presence of the central five-membered ring, which for compounds III and IV remains largely unchanged, except for the metalN distances.The NO bond lengths are 1.244(3), 1.220)(2), 1.237(2) and 1.211(2) Å, which are similar to those found for the analogous Co isomer. The CN bond lengths are 1.492(3), 1.474(2), 1.486(2) and 1.475(2) Å, while the CC bonds are 1.509(3) and 1.524(3) Å. These values are also comparable with those obtained for the Co isomer and, in fact, the pattern of the bonds is nearly identical in both, including the common feature of having a longer CC bond for the en ring with the conformation opposite that expected.As was the case with the Co analogue, the Cl⁻ anion is associated with the hydrogens of the secondary nitrogen (trans to the −NO₂) ligands, the Cl…H7 distance being 2.18(3) Å and the <Cl…H7N2 = 163°.     

Nucleosides. 124. 3-Amino-3-deoxyhexopyranosyl Nucleosides. 7. 1-(3-Deoxy-3-Nitro-β-D-glucopyranosyl) Uracil and Its Galactopyranosyl Isomer1

Abstract

Crystalline 1-(3-deoxy-3-nitro-β-D-glucopyranosyl) uracil (3), originally prepared by nitromethane condensation of “uridine dialdehyde,” was found to contain the galactosyl isomer (4). Each isomer was obtained in pure form by 4′,6′-O-benzylidenation of the mixture of 3 and 4, followed by chromatographic separation and subsequent O-debenzylidenation. The structure of each isomer was established by chemical conversion of the isomer into the corresponding known 3′-acetamido-2′,4′,6′-tri-O-acetyl derivative.

Design and modeling of new platelet-activating factor antagonists. 2. Synthesis and biological activity of 1,4-bis-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-2-alkyl and 2-alkyloxymethylpiperazines

In the continuation of our investigations on the structure of platelet-activating factor (PAF)-receptor, 25 additional 2-substituted 1,4-bis-(poly- and mono methoxybenzoyl)-piperazines were synthesized and their in vitro biological activities measured. Substituent at position 2 is representative of the classical balance lipophilicity/hydrophilicity, i.e. alkyl, phenylalkyl, alkoxy and polyalkoxy groups. A potent PAF-induced platelet aggregation inhibitory activity measured in PRP medium is obtained with 5c, IC₅₀ = 6 × 10⁻⁸ M, which displaces the [³H]PAF from platelet membrane with an EC₅₀ = 6 × 10⁻⁸ M, and compound 4 presents an EC₅₀ of 3 × 10⁻⁸ M. Examination of structure-activity relationships shows that molecules bearing a hydrophilic or slightly hydrophobic appendix in position-2 are still potent; their IC₅₀ being included between 10⁻⁶ and 10⁻⁷ M. After quantitative analysis, it seems that in PRP medium, the role of serum albumin must be taken into account instead of a pure hydrophobic interaction of the appendix Z into the receptor. The role of the methoxy groups in producing a potent antagonistic activity is demonstrated by syntheses of several 2-octylpiperazine analogs. These specific features will be quatitatively analysed in the following related publication (part 3).     

f-Element/crown ether complexes. 1. Synthesis and structure of [Y(OH2)8]Cl3·(15-crown-5)

The crystal and molecular structure of [Y(OH₂)₈]Cl₃·(15-crown-5) has been determined by single- crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Z = 4. Lattice parameters are a = 9.202(2), b = 17.247(3), c = 15.208(3) Å, and β = 92.39(2)°. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by least-squares to a final conventional R value of 0.081. The Y(III) ion is eight coordinate, bonded to the oxygen atoms of the eight water molecules. Three of the water molecules are hydrogen bonded to crown ether molecules. The three chloride ions participate in hydrogen bonds with the remaining five water molecules. The YO(water) distances range from 2.322(6) to 2.432(7) Å and average 2.37(4) Å. The average O(water)···Cl and O(water)···O(crown) hydrogen bonded separations are 3.08(4) and 2.76(7) Å, respectively.     

Nucleosides and Nucleotides. 139. Stereoselective Synthesis of (2′S)-2′-C-Alkyl-2′-deoxyuridines

Abstract

A synthetic method for (2′S)-2′-C-alkyl-2′-deoxyuridines (9) has been described. Catalytic hydrogenation of 1-[2-C-alkynyl-2-O-methoxalyl-3,5-O-TIPDS-β-D-arabino-pentofuranosyl]uracils (5) gave 1-[2-C-(2-alkyl)-2-O-methoxalyl-3,5-O-TIPDS-β-D-arabino-pentofuranosyl]uracils (4) as a major product, which were then subjected to the radical deoxygenation, affording (2′S)-2′-alkyl-2′-deoxy-3′,5′-O-TIPDS-uridines (7) along with a small amount of their 2′R epimers.

     

β-Glutamyl Peptides, 3-(2-Furoyl)-alanine and Ascorbalamic Acid in Roots of Rumex obtusifolius L. (Ezo-no-Gishigishi)

We found a potent platelet aggregation inhibitor in the culture broth of Streptomyces strain M-193. The inhibitor was purified as white crystals and investigated; it was identified as staurosporine. It strongly inhibited the platelet aggregation induced by collagen or ADP with IC₅₀ values of 3.4 μm, and 11.6 μm, respectively. The inhibitor had no effect on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation or membrane stabilization against heat-induced hemolysis.     

Synthesis of methyl O-(3-deoxy-3-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranosyl)-(1→6)-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-3-deoxy-3-fluoro -β-d-galactopyranoside and related n.m.r. studies

Sequential tritylation, benzoylation, and detritylation of methyl 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranoside gave crystalline methyl 2,4-di-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranoside (9), which was used as the initial nucleophile in the synthesis of the target oligosaccharide (16). Treatment of 9 with 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-O-bromoacetyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl bromide gave the corresponding disaccharide derivative 13, having a selectively removable blocking group at O-6′. Debromoacetylation of 13 afforded the disaccharide nucleophile 14 which, when treated with 2,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-α-d-galactopyranosyl bromide, gave the fully protected trisaccharide 15. Debenzoylation of 15 gave the title glycoside 16. Condensation reactions were performed with silver trifluoromethane-sulfonate as a promoter in the presence of sym-collidine under base-deficient conditions, and gave excellent yields of the desired β-(trans)-products. Analyses of the ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra, as well as determination of the J_CF and J_HF coupling constants, were made by using various one- and two-dimensional n.m.r. techniques.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of 1- and 2-O-α-d-Cellotriosyl-3-deoxy-2(R)- and 2(S)-glycerols Related to Rhynchosporoside

The stereoselective synthesis of 1- and 2-O-α-d-cellotriosyl-3-deoxy-2(R)- and 2(S)-glycerols, which determined the structure of rhynchosporoside produced by Rhynchosporium secalis, and their phytotoxicity toward the host plant (Hordeum vulgare) are described in detail.     

Enzymic glycosphingolipid synthesis on polymer supports. III. Synthesis of GM3, its analog [NeuNAcα(2-3)Galβ(1-4)Glcβ(1-3)Cer] and their lyso-derivatives

Two water-soluble polymers, carrying 0.24 meq g–1 of lactosyl-(1-1)-sphingosine (7) and 0.13 meq g–1 of lactosyl-(1-3)-sphingosine (8) were prepared. The polymers served as acceptors in the -(2-3)-sialyltransferase reaction (up to 55.3 and 38.5% transfer yields, respectively). Subsequent photolysis, released compounds 11 (lyso-GM3) and 12 (lyso-GM3 analog), respectively; acylation and chromatography afforded (5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero--D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonic acid)-(2-3)--D-galactopyranosyl-(1-4)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1-1)-(2S, 3R, 4E)-2-octadecanoylamino-4-octadecene-1,3-diol (13, GM3) and (5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero--D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonic acid)-(2-3)--D-galactopyranosyl-(1-4)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1-3)-(2S, 3R, 4E)-2-octadecanoylamino-4-octadecene-1,3-diol (14, GM3 analogue), respectively, thus presenting a route to glycosphingolipids possessing the unusual glycosyl-(1-3)-spingosine linkage.     

Stereocontrolled Facile Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of (3′S) and (3′R)-3′-Amino (and Azido)-3′-Deoxy Pyranonucleosides

This article describes the synthesis of (3 ′S) and (3 ′R)-3 ′-amino-3 ′-deoxy pyranonucleosides and their precursors (3 ′S) and (3 ′R)-3 ′-azido-3 ′-deoxy pyranonucleosides. Azidation of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-toluenesulfonyl-α-D-allofuranose followed by hydrolysis and subsequent acetylation afforded 3-azido-3-deoxy-1,2,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranose, which upon coupling with the proper silylated bases, deacetylation, and catalytic hydrogenation, obtained the target 3 ′-amino-3 ′-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranonucleosides. The desired 1-(3 ′-amino-3 ′-deoxy-β-D-allopyranosyl)5-fluorouracil was readily prepared from the suitable imidazylate sugar after azidation followed by a protection/deprotection sequence and reduction of the unprotected azido precursor. No antiviral activity was observed for the novel nucleosides. Moderate cytostatic activity was recorded for the 5-fluorouracil derivatives.
