Voltamperometry of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives

Thirty-nine -substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were subjected to electrochemical oxidation on a rotating platinum microelectrode in acetonitrile, and the E_p (E_1/2) values were measured. A satisfactory linear correlation between the E_p and Taft. ^* constants of the substituents in the position was observed. A linear correlation of the E_p values with the ⁰, - and ^– constants also exists.See [1] for communication I.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1525–1529, November. 1975.

Synthesis of halogen substituted imidazo[4,5-e][1,4]diazepine-5,8-diones. Cyclic homologs of methylxanthines

Possible routes for synthesis of 2-haloimidazo[4,5-e][1,4]diazepines are discussed. Conditions for chlorination differ for homologs of caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. For the caffeine homolog, both the 2-chloroand 2,6,6-trichloro products are obtained depending on the synthetic conditionsTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 955–958, July, 1992.     

A new steroid glycoside from the starfishPatiria pectinifera

From the glycoside fraction of the starfishPatiria pectinifera, after its desulfation, an artefactural glycoside has been obtained: 29(-L-arabinofuranosyloxy)-5-stigmastane-3,6,8,15,16-pentaol (I). The structure of (I) was shown by¹H and¹³C NMR spectra and mass spectra and by acetylation and high-temperature hydrogenation.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Synthesis of bacterial antigenic polysaccharides and their fragments V. Use of 1,2-o-isopropylidene-4,6-O-ethylidene-α-D-galactopyranose for the synthesis of oligosaccharides with 3-o-substituted galactopyranose residue

Conclusions Trisaccharide-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 3)-D-galactose was synthesized by using, 2-O-isopropylidene-4,6-O-ethylidene--D-galactopyranose for producing 1 3-rhamnosylgalactose, linkage.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1609–1613, July, 1977.     

Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of 4-Substituted 3-Cyano-6,6-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones

The respective 4-(arylvinyl)lactones and compounds of the Michael adduct type were synthesized by the condensation of substituted benzaldehydes with 3-cyano-4,6,6-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranone in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium hydroxide. It was shown by the semiempirical AM1 method that the indicated products can be formed through one and the same intermediate compound. Some of the synthesized phenylvinyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones have a cytotoxic effect, and this corresponds to the prognosis of the OREX expert system.     

Synthesis and oxidation of 2,6-dimethyl-3, 5-di(phenoxycarbonyl)-1,4-dihydropyridines

A number of new aryl esters of acetoacetic acid were obtained in the reaction of phenols with diketene in the presence of triethylamine. Reaction of the esters thus obtained with hexamethylenetetramine gave, for the first time, aryl esters of 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid, the oxidation of which with chloranil gave the corresponding pyridines.     

Correlation effects and interaction energy of π-electron shells in cumulene and acetylene molecules

By means of Hartree—Fock energy variance calculations it has been shown that the specific electroncorrelation energy in extended cumulene molecules is approximately 0.3 eV/electron and the specific energy of interaction between -electron shells is 0.1 eV/electron.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 29, No. 6, pp. 514–517, November–December, 1993.     

Methylation of the cyclic homolog of xanthine

Alkylation of the cyclic homolog of xanthine in the methyl iodide-sodium hydride system as a function of the reagent-alkylating system ratio yields different products: for a 13 ratio of reagents, a homolog of caffeine is formed, while for a 12 ratio, a homolog of theobromine is formed. In contrast to xanthine, methylation of its cyclic homolog initially takes place at the imidazole ring and occurs in the sequence N₍₁₎, N₍₄₎, N₍₇₎.A. V.
