Structure analysis of (−) scopolamine N-oxide (1) hydrobromide monohydrate by X-ray crystallography has proven that the N-methyl group is axial and the amineoxide function is equatorial. The absolute configuration of the tropic acid residue has also been determined by anomalous scattering as being S, in complete agreement with chemical correlation experiments.The N-stereoisomer of 1 has also been detected as a minor product 2 for the first time, as a result of using 100 MHz n.m.r. spectroscopy in the product analysis of the oxidation of (−) scopolamine with hydrogen peroxide in ethanol. A similar n.m.r. study was undertaken with atropine and tropine and correlation of chemical shifts with N-configuration in the N-oxides, 3–6, was attempted. N-oxidation of scopolamine, and by analogy of related tropane bases, has taken a preferentially equatorial course, similar to other quaternization reactions.

The reaction of tetra([Formula: see text]-tolyl)porphyrinato titanium (IV) oxide (2) with 4,7-diethyl-5,6-dimercaptobenzo[1,2,3] trithiole (3a) produced the corresponding titanium (IV) complex, tetra([Formula: see text]-tolyl)porphyrinato titanium (IV) trithiolobenzenedithiolate (4a), fused with a trithiole ring. Related compounds 4b and 4c were prepared by a similar reaction of 2 with 5,8-diethyl-6,7-dimercaptobenzo[1,4]dithiin (3b) and 3,6-diethyl-4,5-dimercapto-1,2-bis(2-cyanoethylthio)benzene (3c). The structure of 4b was determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 4c was further treated with cesium hydroxide to produce the corresponding dithiolate anion 4c2S, which was deposited on the gold electrode. The electrochemical property of the gold electrode was determined by cyclic voltammetry. The structure of simplified model compound 4b[Formula: see text] was optimized using the DFT method with the Gaussian 09 program. The optimized structure was utilized to calculate the NMR chemical shifts, the HOMO and LUMO energy levels, and the electronic transition in the absorption spectrum.

The weak resonances at + 22 and + 49 ppm appearing in the 31P NMR spectrum of melts or solutions of (PPh)5 that have been attributed previously in the literature to “dimeric” and “monomeric phenylphosphorus” are caused by (PPh)6 and (PPh)4, respectively. This was proved by comparison with the 31P NMR parameters of related compounds and by 31P NMR spectroscopic investigation of authentic samples of (PPh)6 and (PPh)4, the latter of which was prepared in high yield from (Me3Si)PhP–PPh–PPh(SiMe3) and PhPCl2. (PEt)4 and mixed-substituted phenyl-ethyl-cyclotetraphosphanes exhibit similar chemical shifts as (PPh)4, corresponding mixed-substituted cyclohexaphosphanes have similar chemical shifts as (PPh)6. Generally, cyclophosphanes establish an equilibrium between (PR)n-species of different ring-size. Probably, the ring-interconversion proceeds via a multi-center mechanism. No 31P NMR spectroscopic evidence for the existence of free PPh or P2Ph2 under the conditions described could be detected. On thermolysis of (PEt)4 the existence of (PEt)3 was proved for the first time.

X-Ray diffraction revealed the absolute configuration of 4aβ-methyl-4a-homo-7,19-dinor- 5α,10α-androstane-3,17-dione. Detailed NMR analysis suggested that the 5α configuration existed in the starting material, 3β-acetoxy-4a-methylidene-4a-homo-7,19-dinor- 5α-androst-9-en-17-one, and related compounds. Thus 5-methyl-5β-estr-9-ene derivatives with a leaving group in position 6β were found to react with nucleophiles to form rearranged 4a-homo-7,19-dinorandrostane derivatives with a 5α configuration.

Methanol extracts of the rhizomes or fruit of Amomum celsum Lamxay & M.F. Newman (Zingiberaceae) yielded 5 compounds one of which, 1,3 S,5 S-trihydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenylethyl)cyclohexane (2), is new and one, 4-hydroxybibenzyl (1), is reported as a natural product for the first time. In addition, 3 known compounds, 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (3), 3,5-diacetoxy-1,7- bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane (4), and 1,4-hydroquinone (5), were also isolated. Their structures were determined by performing extensive analysis of high-resolution electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of 2 was unambiguously established by X-ray crystallography and Mosher’s method. Cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 2 against MCF-7 and Hep-G2 human cancer cell lines were tested in the sulforhodamine B cytotoxic assay. A plausible biosynthesis of 1 and 2 in A. celsum was proposed.

Derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholane-20,24-diol XI and XIX were prepared by stepwise construction of the side-chain in the position 17β. Their absolute configuration at C(20) was determined on the basis of chemical correlation with the derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ol, XVI and XXIV. The absolute configuration of alcohols XVI and XXIV was determined from the ratio of the yields in which they are formed during the reduction of ketone X and using the benzoate rule. To compounds XI-XVIII the configuration 20R and to compounds XIX-XXVI the configuration 20S has been assigned.

Reaction of the aldehyde I with the lithium salt of 1-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-2-propyne yielded the compounds II and IV. From the compound II the lactone XII was prepared via the intermediates III and X, the lactone XVIII was prepared from the substance IV via the intermediates V and XVI. The unsaturated lactones XII and XVIII were also prepared by sulfenylation and dehydrosulfenylation of the saturated lactones XIII and XIX. Based on chemical correlation and 1H-NMR spectra analyses of the compounds II and IV, the lactone XII was assigned the 20R-configuration whereas the lactone XVIII was allotted the 20S-configuration.

Reaction of 5α-pregnan-21-al (V), obtained from ester of the corresponding acid III via the alcohol IV, with lithium salt of 1-methoxymethoxy-2-propyne afforded both the isomeric 25-methoxymethoxy-21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-23-yn-22-ols (VI and VIII) which were converted into two 21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholestane-22,25-diols (XI, XV). Absolute configuration of the alcohols X and XIV was assigned by chemical correlation with derivatives XXVI and XXVII of known absolute configuration at C(20). The correlation was based on reduction of thiocarbonates derived from the diols XXII and XXIV for which also Cotton effects of their complexes with nickel acetylacetonate were studied. Both diols were prepared from 5α-pregnan-20-one (XVIII) via 5α-pregn-20-yne (XIX) and the 21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-20-ene derivative XXI.

Abstract The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the DDT class of pesticides and related compounds are discussed, including a study of the resonances of the aromatic protons as they are affected by various substiluents. The CCl3 moiety on the α-carbon strongly deshields the ortho protons on the aromatic rings, and this deshielding effect is greatly enhanced by substitution of a chlorine ortho rather than para on the aromatic ring. These deshielding effects are explained by a consideration of the electronegativity of the substituents and the stereochemistry of the molecule. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are tabulated.

In viticulture, grafting is used to propagate Phylloxera-susceptible European grapevines, thereby using resistant American rootstocks. Although scion–rootstock reciprocal signaling is essential for the formation of a proper vascular union and for coordinated growth, our knowledge of graft partner interactions is very limited. In order to elucidate the scale and the content of scion–rootstock metabolic interactions, we profiled the metabolome of eleven graft combination in leaves, stems, and phloem exudate from both above and below the graft union 5–6 months after grafting. We compared the metabolome of scions vs. rootstocks of homografts vs. heterografts and investigated the reciprocal effect of the rootstock on the scion metabolome. This approach revealed that (1) grafting has a minor impact on the metabolome of grafted grapevines when tissues and genotypes were compared, (2) heterografting affects rootstocks more than scions, (3) the presence of a heterologous grafting partner increases defense-related compounds in both scion and rootstocks in shorter and longer distances from the graft, and (4) leaves were revealed as the best tissue to search for grafting-related metabolic markers. These results will provide a valuable metabolomics resource for scion–rootstock interaction studies and will facilitate future efforts on the identification of metabolic markers for important agronomic traits in grafted grapevines.
