Angular Regioselectivity in the Reactions of 2-Thioxopyrimidin-4-ones and Hydrazonoyl Chlorides : Synthesis of Novel Stereoisomeric Octahydro[1,2,4]t…

2020

The regioselective synthesis of cis and trans stereoisomers of variously functionalized octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones was performed. The 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones used in the synthesis reacted with hydrazonoyl chlorides in a regioselective manner to produce the angular regioisomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones rather than the linear isomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones. The synthesis process took place with electronic control. The angular regiochemistry of the products was confirmed by X-ray experiments and two-dimensional NMR studies.

Synthesis of Unexpected Dimethyl 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,3-dicarboxylate via Hydrolysis/Cycloaddition/Elimination …

2021

Hydrolysis/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/elimination cascades employed for the synthesis of unexpected tricyclic compound derived from isoquinoline. Reaction of ethylene derivative 1 with the isoquinoline ester iminium ion 2 in alkaline medium (MeOH/NEt3) under reflux for 1 h resulted in the formation of the fused pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivative 3. Its structure was elucidated by X-ray single crystal and other spectrophotometric tools. Hirshfeld calculations for 3 and its crystal structure analysis revealed the importance of the short O…H (19.1%) contacts and the relatively long H…C (17.1%), Cl…H (10.6%) and C…C (6.1%) interactions in the molecular packing. DFT calculations were used to compu…

[3 + 2] Cycloadditions in Asymmetric Synthesis of Spirooxindole Hybrids Linked to Triazole and Ferrocene Units: X-ray Crystal Structure and MEDT Stud…

2022

Derivatization of spirooxindole having triazole and ferrocene units was achieved by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction approach. Reacting the respective azomethine ylide (AY) intermediate generated in situ with the ethylene derivative produced novel asymmetric cycloadducts with four contiguous asymmetric carbons in an overall high chemical yield with excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. X-Ray single-crystal structure analyses revealed, with no doubt, the success of the synthesis of the target compounds. The 32CA reaction of AY 5b with ferrocene ethylene 1 has been studied within MEDT. This 32CA reaction proceeds via a two-stage one-step mechanism involving a high asyn…

Cyclic Sulfoximine and Sulfonimidamide Derivatives by Copper‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reactions with Elemental Sulfur

2023

Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of α-bromoaryl NH-sulfoximines with elemental sulfur lead to benzo[d][1,3,2]dithiazole-1-oxides, which represent a new class of three-dimensional heterocycles. The reactions proceed under mild conditions showing good functional group and heterocycle tolerance. By imination/oxidation, the initial cross-coupling products can be converted to unprecedented cyclic sulfonimidamides derivatives. Furthermore, a seven-membered heterocycle was obtained by a ruthenium-catalyzed ring-expansion with ethyl propiolate. peerReviewed

Synthesis of Polycyclic Indolines utilizing a reduction/cyclization cascade reaction

2021

Subsequent reduction and dearomatizing cyclization reactions open up an entry into the synthesis of novel N-fused polycyclic indolines. The dearomatizing cyclization as key step of the sequence proceeds well with Cu(OTf)2 or TfOH as catalyst. At elevated temperature reduction of nitro-substituted precursors with iron under acidic conditions affords a broad variety of polycyclic indolines directly in a two-step cascade reaction in good to excellent yields. Using the developed protocol, the alkaloids Tryptanthrin and Phaitanthrin C have been prepared. peerReviewed

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Quadruple Domino Reactions through α,β-Unsaturated Acyl Azolium Intermediates : Asymmetric Synthesis of Cyclopenta[c…

2018

An N‐heterocyclic carbene catalyzed domino sequence via α,β‐unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates has been developed. This strategy provides a convenient enantioselective route to functionalized tricyclic coumarin derivatives and cyclopentanes. DFT studies and control experiments were performed to gain better insight into the reaction mechanism. peerReviewed

Clinical significance of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in chronic HBV carriers

1992

PCR was evaluated as a clinical tool for use in accurate identification of the specific etiologic agent in chronic HBV carriers. The method was found to be valuable in diagnosis and for monitoring therapy, as well as for elucidation of genotypic variants of HBV in chronic HBV cases. By this means an HBV defective variant with alterations in the preSl/preS2 sequence was detected and is consequently described here.

Immunoaffinity purification and characterization of mitochondrial membrane-bound D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Jaculus orientalis.

2008

Abstract Background The interconversion of two important energy metabolites, 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (the major ketone bodies), is catalyzed by D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH1: EC 1.1.1.30), a NAD+-dependent enzyme. The eukaryotic enzyme is bound to the mitochondrial inner membrane and harbors a unique lecithin-dependent activity. Here, we report an advanced purification method of the mammalian BDH applied to the liver enzyme from jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a hibernating rodent adapted to extreme diet and environmental conditions. Results Purifying BDH from jerboa liver overcomes its low specific activity in mitochondria for further biochemical characterization of the e…
