Reduction of the oxoindan acid (9) by potassium in liquid ammonia followed by in situ alkylation with 3-methylbut-2-enyl bromide furnished enol ether (14) which was transformed into the acetal (17) and thence aldehydes (18; R = COCH3 and COCHCl2). Acid- catalysed aldol reactions then afforded the ethanoindene derivatives (19; R=COCH3 and COCHCl2). Further elaboration gave carbinol (28) which is envisaged as an intermediate for the total synthesis of the diterpenoid antheridiogens obtained from gametophytes of the fern genus Anemia, including acid (2). The relative stereochemistry of acetal (17) was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

A novel Brønsted base system for the diastereoselective dimerization of azlactones using trichloroacetate salts and acetonitrile has been developed. Desired products were obtained in good yields (60–93%) and with up to >19:1 dr after one hour of reaction. Additionally, the relative stereochemistry of the major dimer was assigned as being trans, by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The kinetic reaction profile was determined by using 1H NMR reaction monitoring and revealed a second order overall kinetic profile. Furthermore, by employing this methodology, a diastereoselective total synthesis of a functionalized analogue of streptopyrrolidine was accomplished in 65% overall yield.

AbstractWe have developed a concise diastereoselective total synthesis of (±)-parvistemonine A. By using a Mukaiyama–Michael addition, an aza-Wittig reaction, a Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis, an acid-mediated annulation, and a Mitsunobu reaction as key steps, we achieved a total synthesis in which the longest linear sequence was ten steps and the overall yield was 19.6%. Additionally, the relative stereochemistry of parvistemonine A was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis for the first time.

The South African tree Combretumcaffrum has been shown to contain a constituent capable of significantly reversing astrocyte formation employing the National Cancer Institute's 9ASK system. The constituent responsible for astrocyte reversal was isolated and designated combretastatin (1). Structural elucidation was initiated employing spectral methods and completed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. By this means combretastatin was assigned structure 1. Further biological evaluation and a total synthesis are now in progress.

The title compound formed the major component in a rearrangement of an analogue of 4-amino-4-deoxychorismic acid (1), an intermediate in the chorismate-p-aminobenzoic acid biotransformation. X-Ray crystallographic analysis has defined the relative stereochemistry at the four chiral centres in the tricyclic molecule.

The relative stereochemistry of methyl 2-phthalimido-1- trimethylsilyloxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylate (9) and its 5,6-epoxide (10), intermediates in a synthetic approach to the amino acid antibiotic anticapsin, were established by the TiCl4-mediated cyclization of (10) to the carbolactone (12); the structure of which was proved by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Full-matrix least- squares refinement of all atomic parameters with individual isotropic thermal parameters for the hydrogen atoms by using 1446 reflections converged at R 0.036. Crystals of (12) are monoclinic, P21/c, a 12.342(3), b 12.239(2), c 13.405(3) Ǻ, β 99.34(2)°, Z 4.

Condensation of 2,3-dichloropyrazine with 2-aminobenzenetellurole and 2-amino-5-methylbenzenetellurole, generated in situ by reduction of the corresponding ditellurides, resulted in the formation of novel 10H-pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]benzotellurazine and its 7-methyl derivative. The products were purified via their well-crystallized 5,5-dibromo derivatives. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the title compound indicates that it has a pronounced V-shape and forms hydrogen-bonded dimers. Te, N-containing heterocycles have the potential of offering access to supramolecular assemblies.

The 6H-oxathiazines 1a-e having imine moiety underwent [2+2] cycloaddition with phenoxyacetylchloride in the presence of Et3N to give β-lactam derivatives 2a-e in high yield. The X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the relative stereochemistry that the substituents at C-2 and C-4 were cis configurated. The subtituents at C-6 and C-7 were also cis to each other. However, the 6H-oxathiazines 1f-i containing tert-butyl or methyl group at C-4 did not undergo the cycloaddition. Key words: Azetedinone, β-lactam, oxacepham, cycloaddition, imine, ketene, oxathiazine. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. Vol.5(1-2) 2006 The full text is of this article is available at the Dhaka Univ. J.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of (Z)-5-arylidene[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-6(5H)-one and azomethine ylide, which was generated in situ by the reaction of N-4-methoxyphenacylbenzothiazolium bromides and triethylamine, afforded novel 2-(aryl)-1-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-1,2-dihydrospiro[pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole-3,5′-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazol]-6′-ones in moderate yields. The structures of all the products were characterised thoroughly by NMR, IR and HRMS spectroscopy together with X-ray crystallographic analysis.
