Reaction of methyl 6-deoxy-6-iodo-α-D-glucopyranoside triacetate with an excess of bromine in glacial acetic acid; N in potassium acetate, gave a 1.1:1 mixture of the products resulting from replacement of the iodine by bromine and by acetoxy group, respectively. When 2 moles of silver acetate were present per mole of bromine, the reaction was much more rapid and only methyl α-D-glucopyranoside tetraacetate was formed. The brominolysis of methyl 2-deoxy-2-iodo-α-D-mannopyranoside triacetate proceeded at a useful rate only when catalyzed by silver acetate. The main product of the reaction appeared to be methyl 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-2-deoxy-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside triacetate. The compound could be converted by way of sodium borohydride reduction to methyl 2-bromo-2-deoxy-α-D-altropyranoside and by way of zinc dust reduction to methyl 2-deoxy-α-D-erythro-hexopyranoside-3-ulose diacetate. About 20% of the reaction proceeded with migration of the methoxy group to the 2-position to yield 2-O-methyl-D-glucose tetraacetate. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.

Abstract 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid is prepared from folic acid by sodium borohydride reduction, reac­ tion with formaldehyde and reduction to the methyl derivative by sodium borohydride. The crude product is precipitated as barium salt which after having been converted to the sodium salt by ion exchange is adsorbed to QAE-Sephadex and eluted by different acetic acid gradients in subsequent chromatographies. This method allows to process gram quantities on reasonably small columns

AbstractThe base catalyzed condensation reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin and 3-acetylcoumarin (3-benzoylcoumarin) in water at reflux led to the formation of 1-methyl (1-phenyl)- benzopyrano[4’,3’-c]-benzo[3”,4”-ƒ ]-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (2a, b) as final products. When 4-hydroxycoumarin and 3-acetylcoumarin reacted in a glacial acetic acid in the presence of potassium acetate the final product was 7-[3-acetyl-2-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-yl]methyl- 6H,14H,14bH-bis-([1]benzopyrano)[4,3-b:4’,3’-d]pyran-6,14-dione (4). 4-Hydroxycoumarin and 4-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one were condensed in water at reflux and 1- methylcoumarino-[4’,3’-c]-bromobenzo[3”,4”-ƒ ]-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane was a final product (3).

A strategy is devised to synthesize zwitterionic acetylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). The strategy included acetylation, periodate oxidation, Schiff base reaction, borohydride reduction, and a quaternary ammonium reaction. Acetylation was performed in glacial acetic acid with a short reaction time of 90 min, yielding, on average, mono-acetylated CNF with hydroxyl groups available for further modification. The products from each step were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, ζ-potential, SEM-EDS, AFM, and titration to track and verify the structural changes along the sequential modification route.

Abstract Alkaline degradation of inulin under controlled conditions shows that not all molecules in an inulin preparation are nonreducing and, thus, alkali-stable and suitable for clinical measurements. Reducing "inulin" molecules are degraded by the normal beta-alkoxy carbonyl mechanism, and the main product of degradation in calcium hydroxide solution is "α"-D-glucosaccharinic acid. An inulin preparation can be made alkali- stable by sodium borohydride reduction. There appears to be a difference in the alkali lability of inulin and other fructan preparations obtained from different sources.

Certain polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, do not give consistently positive or negative reactions with all lead tetra-acetate/Schiff techniques. This depends upon the conditions under which the oxidant is used. A simple glacial acetic acid solution of lead tetra-acetateis least active but most specific. Added potassium acetate acts as a catalyst. Dilution with water not only increases the activity of the reagent but also decreases the specificity of the test.

The rates of exchange of acetate—concurrent with anomerization—between the C1-acetoxy groups of the pentaacetates (0.05 M) of D-glucose and D-mannose and stannic trichloride acetate (0.05 M) in chloroform containing stannic chloride (0.05 M) were determined at 40 °C. using isotopically labelled acetate. 1,2-trans-α-D-Mannose pentaacetate underwent exchange seven times more rapidly than the β-1,2-cis-anomer but eight times less rapidly than 1,2-trans-β-D-glucose pentaacetate. The latter compound was 450 times more reactive than the α-1,2-cis-anomer. In accordance with these results, the D-mannose pentaacetate underwent mercaptolysis in ethyl mercaptan containing zinc chloride at rates intermediate to those found for the D-glucose pentaacetates. The main product from the mannose pentaacetates was in each case ethyl 1,2-trans-α-D-1-thiomannopyranoside tetraacetate (60–70% yield). Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl chloride with silver acetate gave β-D-glucose pentaacetate when the reaction was carried out in dry acetic acid but gave 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucose in 90% aqueous acetic acid. Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl chloride with methanol and silver carbonate gave a sirupy product with the properties expected for methyl 1,2-ortho-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranose triacetate. The substance was hydrolyzed by 0.005 N hydrochloric acid in 95% dioxane 18 times more rapidly than the corresponding derivative of β-D-mannose. The significance of these observations toward an understanding of the effect of configuration on reactivity is discussed.

6β-Bromocholest-4-en-3-one (I) was converted to 6β-bromo-4α,5-epoxy-5α-cholestan-3-one (II) with alkaline hydrogen peroxide. 5,6β-Dibromo-5α-cholestane- 3β,4β-diol (X) with alkali gave 6β-bromo-4β,5-epoxy-5β-cholestan-3β-ol (IXa), which was oxidized to non-crystalline 6β-bromo-4β,5-epoxy-5β-cholestan-3-one (XIII), characterized as the crystalline 3,3-dimethyl ketal (XIIa). Cleavage of (II) with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid gave 4,6β-dibromocholest-4-en-3-one (V) via the isomeric bromohydrins (IVa) and (IVb). Compound (XIII) yielded (V) directly. Sodium borohydride reduction of (I) gave cholesterol in high yield, while reduction with lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminium hydride afforded cholest-4-en-3-one (52%), cholesterol (30%), and cholest-4-en-6β-ol-3-one (7%).

The properties of chlorotrihydroxydihydrophenazine were thoroughly investigated. Oxidations with sodium perborate or hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid gave chloro-trihydroxyphenazine-5,10-dioxide. Methylation gave a monomethyl derivative and acetylation yielded mono-, di-, and tri-acetyl derivatives. Benzoylation gave a tetrabenzoyl compound. Bromination gave a monobromo derivative. Nitrosation produced a mononitroso and nitration a mononitro compound. Degradation by zinc dust distillation and thermal decomposition yielded phenazine. Molecular weight and absorption spectra determinations supported the chemical evidence that the compound was 1-chloro-2(or 3),6,8-trihydroxydihydrophenazine. 1,4,9-Trichloro-2(or 3),6,8-trihydroxydihydrophenazine, 1,4,9-trichloro-2(or 3, or 8),6-dihy-droxydihydrophenazine, and 1-bromo-2(or 3),6,8-trihydroxydihydrophenazine were similarly identified.

Reaction of methyl 2-deoxy-2-iodo-β-D-glucopyranoside triacetate with a 20-fold excess of bromine and a 10-fold excess of silver acetate in a 10% solution of potassium acetate in acetic acid gave a near-quantitative yield of an equimolar mixture of the anomeric forms of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2,5-anhydro-1-methoxy-D-mannose. Treatment of the mixture with methanolic hydrogen chloride gave the dimethylacetal of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose (chitose).
