K-region oxides and imines derived from alkylated benz[α]anthracene congeners: synthesis, stability in aqueous media and mutagenicity

1994

The K-region oxides and imines of benz[a]anthracene, 1-methylbenz[a]anthracene, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene, 7-ethylbenz[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene were synthesized and characterized (melting point, 1H-NMR and electron impact mass spectra, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy). All 10 compounds showed high mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium (reversion of his- strains TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA104). The arene imines were more potent than the corresponding arene oxides. Alkyl substitutions strongly influenced the activities. Furthermore, all compounds were more active when exposure took place in the absence of inorganic ions than when KCl (125 mM) was present. The in…

Stereoselective synthesis and transformation of pinane-based 2-amino-1,3-diols

2021

A library of pinane-based 2-amino-1,3-diols was synthesised in a stereoselective manner. Isopinocarveol prepared from (−)-α-pinene was converted into condensed oxazolidin-2-one in two steps by carbamate formation followed by a stereoselective aminohydroxylation process. The relative stereochemistry of the pinane-fused oxazolidin-2-one was determined by 2D NMR and X-ray spectroscopic techniques. The regioisomeric spiro-oxazolidin-2-one was prepared in a similar way starting from the commercially available (1R)-(−)-myrtenol (10). The reduction or alkaline hydrolysis of the oxazolidines, followed by reductive alkylation resulted in primary and secondary 2-amino-1,3-diols, which underwent a reg…

Synthèse de mono et diphosphines dérivées d'amino acides ou de peptides, appliquées en chimie de coordination et pour le greffage de fullerène C60

2013

The synthesis of secondary phosphine borane amino acids or dipeptides and their applications for the preparation of chiral ligands or for the grafting of fullerene, is described. These compounds were synthesized in good yield (up to 98%) without racemization. The principle of the synthesis is based on the alkylation of primary phosphine borane with a γ-iodo amino acid using phase transfer conditions. Tertiary diphosphine amino acids are obtained with 70% yield after a second alkylation. These compounds are one of the first examples of diphosphine grafted with a P-C bond on the side chain of amino acid. First of all, mono and diphosphine amino acid derivatives were used in asymmetric allylic…

Silyl modification of biologically active compounds. 13. Synthesis, cytotoxicity and antibacterial action ofN-methyl-N-(2-triorganylsiloxyethyl)-1,2,…

2012

A series of N-methyl-N-(2-triorganylsiloxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro(iso)quinolinium iodides has been synthesized via dehydrocondensation reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and 4,4-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-sila-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with trialkyl(aryl)hydrosilanes and subsequent alkylation, and characterized by 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR and mass spectroscopy. The biological activity data exhibited a marked enhancement of inhibitory activity against tumour cell lines and almost all the test bacterial/fungal strains in comparison with their 2-hydroxyethyl precursors. Cytotoxicity in the microgram range against …

Charged Tags for the Identification of Oxidative Drug Metabolites Based on Electrochemistry and Mass Spectrometry

2020

Abstract Most of the active pharmaceutical ingredients like Metoprolol are oxidatively metabolized by liver enzymes, such as Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases into oxygenates and therefore hydrophilic products. It is of utmost importance to identify the metabolites and to gain knowledge on their toxic impacts. By using electrochemistry, it is possible to mimic enzymatic transformations and to identify metabolic hot spots. By introducing charged‐tags into the intermediate, it is possible to detect and isolate metabolic products. The identification and synthesis of initially oxidized metabolites are important to understand possible toxic activities. The gained knowledge about the metabolism will…

An electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric study of the gas-phase stabilities and fragmentation ofN-alky…

2006

Five N-alkylated ammonium resorcarene derivatives, differing either in the nitrogen atom or in the lower rim alkyl chain, were studied using electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The main purpose was to clarify the fragmentation and the relative stabilities of the protonated molecules by collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments. The results indicate that fragmentation of the upper rim alkyl amino substituents at the 2-position occurs readily. Variation in the gas-phase stabilities of these molecules was also observed. In addition, the proposed fragmentation pathways are depicted.

Organocatalytic Enantioselective 1,6-aza -Michael Addition of Isoxazolin-5-ones to p -Quinone Methides

Unique regioselectivity in the C(sp3)-H α-alkylation of amines: the benzoxazole moiety as a removable directing group.

2014

The benzoxazol-2-yl- substituent was found to act as a removable activating and directing group in the Ir-catalyzed alkylation of C(sp(3))-H bonds adjacent to nitrogen in secondary amines. It can be easily introduced by oxidative coupling or by an SNAr reaction, and it can be removed by hydroxide or by hydride reduction. For 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, activation exclusively takes place in the 3-position. A variety of activated as well as unactivated terminal olefins are suitable reaction partners.

Assessing the reactivity of sodium alkyl-magnesiates towards quinoxaline : single electron transfer (SET) vs. nucleophilic alkylation processes

2015

By exploring the reactivity of sodium butyl-magnesiate (1) supported by the bulky chelating silyl(bisamido) ligand {Ph2Si(NAr*)2}(2-) (Ar* = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3) towards Quinoxaline (Qx), the ability of this bimetallic system to effectively promote SET processes has been disclosed. Thus 1 executes the single-electron reduction of Qx affording complex (2) whose structure in the solid state contains two quinaxolyl radical anions Qx˙ stabilised within a dimeric magnesiate framework. Combining multinuclear NMR and EPR measurements with DFT calculations, new insights into the constitution of 2 in solution and its magnetic behaviour have been gained. Further evidence on the SET reactivity of 1 was foun…

Experimental and theoretical investigations for the tandem alkylation–isomerization reactions between unsaturated carboxylic acids and allyl halides

2003

Abstract—Alkylation of dienediolates from unsaturated carboxylic acids with allylic halides when followed by solventless thermaltreatment at 150 to 2008C afford rearranged products on a trend highly dependent on the acarbon substitution. Thus, 2,2-bisallylated acidswith H atoms at C-2 lead to its 1,3-shift, whereas 2-methyl-2,2-bisallylated acids lead to the corresponding Cope rearrangement product. Inthe latter case, this tandem allylation-Cope reaction lead, in a highly regio and diastereoselective way, to products not accessible from directalkylation. B3LYP/6-31G p energies for the compounds involved at these isomerizations are in reasonable agreement with the experiments,allowing to exp…
