Optically Pure

Partially resolved enantiomers of optically active alcohols I-V, obtained by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones with lithium aluminium hydride in the presence of (-)-quinine, were converted into crystalline 3,5-dinitrobenzoates or phenylcarbamates. The esters of the nearly optically pure enantiomers were separated by crystallization from the generally more soluble esters of the racemates. Optical purity of the hydrolytically liberated alcohols was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral shifting agents.

Epoxy Alcohols

Reaction of all stereoisomeric 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ols I-IV with lithium aluminium hydride and reduction of 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ones XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride were studied. It was found that reductive opening of the 5β,6β-epoxide ring occured only in the case of the derivatives III and IV due to 5(O)n participation of the 3α-oxygen-containing substituent under formation of the transannular 3α,5α-epoxides VIII and IX, resp. On reduction of the 4a-keto epoxides XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride the trans-epoxy alcohols III and I were formed. On the basis of 1H NMR data the conformation of the A-ring in the epoxides I-IV, XXII, and XXIII is also discussed.

Pharmacological Testing

Reactions of 2-(phenylthio)benzyl chloride with dimethylamine, diethylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, and 1-methylpiperazine afforded the title compounds VI-XI. Reaction of 2-(phenylthio)benzaldehyde with nitromethane gave the nitrostyrene XIV which was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to 2-(2-(phenylthio)phenyl)ethylamine (XVI). This was transformed to the N-methyl and N,N-dimethyl derivatives XVIII and XIX. The Claisen reaction of (2-(phenylthio)phenyl)acetonitrile with ethyl acetate afforded compound XXI which was cleaved by phosphoric acid to (2-(phenylthio)phenyl)acetone (XX). The Leuckart-Wallach reaction afforded the formamide XXIII which was used as starting material for preparing the amines XXIV-XXVI. The alternative approach to these compounds starting by reaction of the aldehyde XII with nitroethane was complicated by the fact that in addition to the nitropropene XV 2-(phenylthio)benzonitrile was also formed. The synthetic use of the inhomogeneous XV resulted then in mixtures of amines XXIV-XXVI with IV-VI which was followed by means of mass and 1H NMR spectra. The amines XXIV-XXVI were oxidized to the sulfoxides XXVII-XXIX. The oily bases were transformed to crystalline salts and spectra of all homogeneous bases were recorded. Pharmacological testing showed the amine VI (VÚFB-15 370) to be a promising potential antidepressant. The amines XI and XXV showed also pharmacological profile of potential antidepressants.

Reaction of ethyl (R)-oxiranecarboxylate (2a) with various nucleobases (adenine, 6-chloropurine, thymine, cytosine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one and 4-methoxypyrimidin-2(1H)-one) afforded ethyl 3-substituted-2-hydroxypropanoates 4-10. Enantioselectivity of this reaction is dependent on the type of the base: 6-chloropurine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one, thymine and cytosine gave optically pure R enantiomers. In other cases, partial or complete racemization occurred. Optically pure ethyl (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoate (5a) was hydrolyzed to give (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (11). Reactions of 11 with various primary or secondary amines led to N6-substituted (R)-3-(adenin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acids 14-19. Enantiomeric purity was determined from 1H NMR spectra measured in the presence of (-)-(R)-1-(9-anthryl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol.

AbstractNew optically active 1,1-disubstituted 2-vinylcyclopropanes ,3a, b were synthesized by esterification of the corresponding 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane- 1-carboxylic acid 2a,b with cholesterol and characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The liquid crystalline properties of the obtained monomers are reported. The effect of the structure of the 2-vinylcyclopropane monomers on the phase transition of the mesogen was investigated. Radical polymerization of the asymmetrically substituted monomers 3a,b in solution and in bulk resulted in liquidcrystalline polymers with 1,5-opened units, as evidenced by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
