Synthesis of the only unknown deoxyfructose, 4-deoxy-D-threohexulose, is reported. Its preparation involved reductive lithium aluminum hydride ring opening of 3,4-anhydro-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene- D-talitol, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting epimeric deoxy diisopropylidene hexitols and selective Acetobacter suboxydans oxidation of 3-deoxy-D-arabinohexitol. Kinetic studies using 4-deoxy-D-threohexulose as substrate for yeast hexokinase support the premise that the C-4 hydroxyl is a binding group in formation of the enzyme–substrate complex. Enzymatic synthesis of 4-deoxy-D-threohexulose 6-phosphate and 4-deoxy-D-threohexulose 1,6-diphosphate has been achieved in low yield from 4-deoxy-D-threohexulose.

An alkaloid isolated from Aconitum spicatum Stapf has been found to be identical not only with the originally described pseudaconitine but also with 'α-pseudaconitine'. The product of the partial hydrolysis of the base, i.e., veratroylpseudaconine, is dextrorotatory, and not laevorotatory as recorded in the old literature. On heating, pseudaconitine undergoes pyrolysis, loses the elements of acetic acid, and gives rise to pyropseudaconitine. This substance, on treatment with lithium aluminum hydride, is converted to demethoxyisopyropseudaconine which is identical with the Wolff–Kishner reduction product of pyraconine. This correlation establishes that pseudaconitine and aconitine possess the same absolute configuration, which, in the light of previous knowledge, is extended also to indaconitine, delphinine, mesaconitine, and jesaconitine.

Hydrolysis Of

The hydrolysis of a pyridine solution of lithium tetrakis(N-dihydropyridyl)aluminate (LDPA), which was prepared at 0 °C, yields a mixture of 1,4-, 1,2-, and 2,5-dihydropyridines (DHPs) in a ratio of 26:37:38. The subsequent reversible base-catalyzed condensation of a 1:1 mixture of 1,2- and 2,5-DHPs carried out in the presence of oxygen affords an 89% yield of (±)-anatabine. When the reaction mixture is allowed to stand in the presence of oxygen, anabasine is slowly formed from anatabine by the reaction of the residual DHPs. Anatabine can also be converted into (±)-anabasine by catalytic hydrogenation. Keywords: lithium aluminum hydride, pyridine, anatabine, anabasine.

The reaction of butyllithium in ether with 1,6:2,3-dianhydro-4-deoxy-β-DL-ribo-hexopyranose (1), a substance obtained in five steps from acrolein dimer, gave 1,6-anhydro-3,4-dideoxy-β-DL-erythro-hex-3-enopyranose (2). The compound 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-β-DL-allo-hexopyranose (3), obtained from 2, was converted by reaction with aqueous barium hydroxide followed by hydrolysis of the product, to DL-glucose 5. Treatment of 3 with sodium methoxide in methanol followed by acid hydrolysis of the 1,6-anhydro intermediate 6, gave 3-O-methyl-DL-glucose (7). The same intermediate, 6, along with the methyl glycoside 8, could be obtained by the acid-catalyzed reaction of 3 with methanol. Lithium aluminum hydride reacted with 3 to form 1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-β-DL-ribo-hexopyranose (9), which was hydrolyzed readily to 3-deoxy-DL-ribo-hexopyranose (10).Yields were excellent throughout. All products obtained from the oxirane 3 were those resulting only from trans diaxial opening of the oxirane ring.

Hydrolysis Of

It is shown that hydrolysis of rhyncophylline with dilute hydrochloric acid gives rhyncophyllal (C19H24O2N2), which contains an aldehyde group but no longer contains the methoxyl, the isolated double bond, and the carbomethoxy group originally present in the alkaloid. Rhyncophyllal is reduced by sodium borohydride to the corresponding alcohol, rhyncophyllal, and this is further reduced by lithium aluminum hydride to dihydrodesoxy-rhyncophyllal (C19H28ON2), which shows the properties of an aromatic amine. Reduction of rhyncophyllal by the Wolff-Kishner reaction gives rhyncophyllane (C19H26ON2), which, when dehydrogenated over palladium–charcoal, yields 3,4-diethylpyridine. Direct dehydrogenation of rhyncophyllal produces β-collidine. On the basis of these as well as previously described results a total structure for rhyncophylline is derived.
