Thermolysis of each of the enol silyl ethers 31–35 affords, cleanly and efficiently, the bicyclo[3.2.1]octadienes 36–40, respectively. Similarly, thermal rearrangement of the enol silyl ether 50 provides the diene 51. Hydrolysis of 36, 37, and 39, and decarbomethoxylation of the resultant keto esters 41, 42, and 44, gives the ketones 46–48, respectively. The ketone 46 is also obtained by acid hydrolysis of 51. Conversion of 6-methyl-1-hepten-4-yn-3-ol (56) into the enol ether 63 is described. Thermolysis of 63 gives 64, which, upon acid hydrolysis, affords 65. Thermolysis of the enones 68 and 69 produces the bicyclic dienones 70 and 71, respectively. On the other hand, thermolysis of 73 and 74, derived from the enone 69, provides the C-8 exo substituted bicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2,6-dienes 75 and 76, which are transformed smoothly, by acid hydrolysis, into the ketones 77 and 78, respectively.

Reaction of the acyl chlorides 14–21 with lithium (phenylthio)(cis-2-vinylcyclopropyl)cuprate (2) provided the ketones 22–29. Compounds 22–25, upon treatment with i-Pr2NLi-Me3SiCl, were converted cleanly into the enol silyl ethers 30–33, which gave the 1,4-cycloheptadienes 34–37 upon thermolysis (100–110 °C). Acid hydrolysis of the latter materials produced the corresponding 4-cyclohepten-1-ones 38–41. However, subjection of the cis-2-vinylcyclopropyl ketones 26–29 to i-Pr2NLi-t-BuMe2SiCl afforded, in each case, a mixture of isomeric enol ethers (26 → 42 + 44 (1:1); 27 → 43 + 45 (1:9); 28 → 56 + 58 (1:1); 29 → 57 + 59 (4:1)). Thermolysis (150–175 °C) of these mixtures, followed by acid hydrolysis of the resultant products, gave the 4-cyclohepten-1-ones 54, 55, 64, and 65, admixed with the corresponding 3-methylenecyclopentenes 52, 53, 62, and 63. On the other hand, treatment of the trans-2-vinylcyclopropyl ketones 70–74 with i-Pr2NLi–t-BuMe2SiCl provided exclusively or predominantly the enol ethers 75–79. Thermolysis (230 °C) of the latter materials and subsequent acid hydrolysis of the resultant products 80, 50, 51, 60, and 61 afforded the 4-cyclopenten-1-ones 38, 54, 55, 64, and 65.

Treatment of the 2-(iodomethylene)cycloalkanones 10 and 11 with lithium (phenylthio)(cyclopropyl)cuprate provided good yields of the corresponding β-cyclopropyl enones 12 and 13, respectively. Thermolysis of the latter substances produced relatively poor yields of the desired spiro-annulation products 14 and 15. However, conversion of 12 and 13 into the corresponding enol silyl ethers 24 and 25, followed by thermal rearrangement of the latter materials and acid hydrolysis of the resulting products, provided synthetically useful yields of the spiro enones 14 and 15. Cuprous iodide-catalyzed addition of methyl magnesium iodide to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, followed by trapping of the resultant enolate anion with cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde, provided the ketols 38, which could be converted readily into the mixture of enol silyl ethers 34 and 35. Thermal rearrangement of the latter substances gave, after acid hydrolysis of the crude thermolysate, the spiro enones 42 and 43 in a ratio of ~2.5:1 (57% yield). Treatment of 42 with methyllithium in ether gave the tertiary alcohols 44 and 45 (ratio ~4:1). Hydroboration (disiamylborane, tetrahydrofuran; H2O2, NaOH) of 44, followed by oxidation of the resultant diol 46 with pyridinium chlorochromate, provided the ketol 47. A similar sequence of reactions converted the olefinic alcohol 45 into the ketol 49. Dehydration (p-toluenesulfonic acid in benzene) of 47 gave the spiro enones 28 and 48, in a ratio of ~9:1. Compound 28, also prepared previously from the ketol 49, had been converted earlier into the spirovetivane-type sesquiterpenoids (±)-α-vetispirene (29), (±)-β-vetivone (30), (±)-hinesol (31), (±)-hinesol acetate (32), and (±)-agarospirol (33).

Total syntheses of the stemodane-type diterpenoids (±)-stemodin (2) and (±)-maritimol (4), as well as formal total syntheses of (±)-stemodinone (3) and (±)-2-desoxystemodinone (5), are described. The known ketol 12 was converted into the tricyclic enone 7. Photoaddition of aliène to 7 gave (96%) a mixture of the photoadducts 20–23 (40:51:6:3, respectively). Ozonolysis of 20, followed by treatment of the resultant dione 24 with MeONa–MeOH (room temperature, 2.5 h), provided the keto ester 26 (94%). Subjection of 21 to an identical sequence of reactions gave (86%) the same product 26. On the other hand, when the dione 25 was treated with MeONa–MeOH under much milder conditions (0 °C, 5 min), the isomeric keto esters 27 (39%) and 28 (33%) were produced. Both 27 and 28, upon reaction with MeONa–MeOH at room temperature, were converted efficiently into 26. Reduction (NaBH4 or Lisec-Bu3BH) of 26 provided separable mixtures of the ester alcohol 32 and the lactone 33, which could be transformed readily into the dimesylates 35 and 39, respectively. Reaction of 35 and 39 with NaCN in warm hexamethylphosphoramide afforded the dinitriles 37 and 40, both of which, upon treatment with t-BuOK in refluxing t-BuOH, produced the sameenaminonitrile 41. Acid hydrolysis of 41 provided the dione 42. Preparatively, compound 26 could be transformed conveniently into the dione 42 (52% overall yield) without separation of mixtures of isomeric synthetic intermediates. Treatment (CH2Cl2, −95 °C) of 42 with Mc3Sil–Et3N, followed by oxidation of the resultant products 46 and 47 with Pd(OAc)2 in acetonitrile, gave the bis enones 48 (67%) and 49 (19%). Compound 48 was converted into the dione 52 which, upon reaction with (i-PrO)3 TiMe in ether, provided an 86:14 mixture of the keto alcohols 53 and 54 (63% from 48). Reduction (NaBH4) of 53 afforded (±)-maritimol (4). On the other hand, conversion of the 86:14 mixture of 53 and 54 into the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazones 55 and subsequent reaction of 55 with NaH in refluxing toluene gave the alkene alcohols 56 (58%) and 57 (12%). Hydroboration–oxidation (9-BBN, refluxing tetrahydrofuran; NaOH, H2O2) of 56 afforded (88%) (±)-stemodin (2).

A reliable method for the synthesis of trisubstituted enol ethers (and of the corresponding methyl ketones) is described involving the condensation of the α-lithiated 2-methoxypropionic acid salt with a ketone to give a β-hydroxy acid, the cyclization to a β-lactone which is then decarboxylated (and mild acid hydrolysis of the enol ether).

The acid hydrolysis of cyclic orthoesters 1, 3–6 (R = Me), and 2 (R = Me and Et) as a function of pH was studied. The bicyclic orthoester 5 yields mainly the hydroxy-ester (less than 5% lactone), and this result is essentially independent of pH. For the other orthoesters, the relative percentage of products differs for each case and varies with pH. At pH ≤ 3, the percentage of lactone is always larger than at pH > 3. These results are explained on the basis of the stereoelectronic theory for the cleavage of tetrahedral intermediates.

Partial hydrolysis of per-O-acetyl- and per-O-benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose with methanolic hydrogen chloride and hydrazine hydrate was investigated. The acyl group at C(3) is of substantial influence on the course of hydrolysis. The esterified hydroxyl group at C(3) was found to be most stable on acid hydrolysis with methanolic hydrogen chloride when compared with that at C(2), or C(4); on the other hand, this ester group is the most labile upon hydrolysis with hydrazine hydrate. Selectivity of the respective ester groups towards hydrolysis made it possible to prepare all variations of acetyl and benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose.

Sixteen Japanese Artemisia taxa were surveyed for flavonoid aglycones and glycosides. The leaves were rinsed with acetone and then extracted with MeOH. Isolated flavonoids were identified by UV, LC-MS, acid hydrolysis, 1H and 13C NMR, and/or HPLC comparisons with authentic samples. Thus, nine flavone aglycones, apigenin (10), luteolin (5), chrysoeriol (11), hispidulin (6), jaseosidin (7), nepetin (15), sudachitin (8), luteolin 7-methyl ether (13) and eupatilin (14), three flavonol aglycones, axillarin (9), quercetin 3-methyl ether (16) and 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavone (12), one flavanone aglycone, pinocembrin (4), three dihydroflavonol aglycones, taxifolin (1), taxifolin 3-acetate (2) and padmatin (3) were found in their Artemisia taxa with the various combination. On the other hand, four flavonol glycosides, quercetin 3- O-rutinoside (17), quercetin 3- O-glucoside (18), patuletin 3- O-glucoside (19) and patuletin 3- O-rhamnosylglucoside (20), were isolated from a few Artemisia taxa.

There is a relationship between the use of fluoride, the reduction of dental caries and the increase of dental fluorosis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the fluoride kinetics in saliva after using the HappydentTM chewing gum, which contains 3.38 mg of fluoride as monofluorophosphate. Fifteen 7-9-year-old volunteers were instructed to chew the gum TridentTM (control) and HappydentTM on different days. Total saliva was collected for 3 minutes, at 0, 3, 6, 9, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after starting chewing. Salivary fluoride was analyzed with a fluoride-specific electrode (Orion 96-09) after acid hydrolysis. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and by Tukey’s post hoc test (p < 0.05). The mean amounts ± sd (mg) of fluoride released in saliva were 0.276 ± 0.126 and 0.024 ± 0.014 for HappydentTM and TridentTM respectively. The fluoride amount in the saliva samples after the use of Happydent was significantly higher than after the use of TridentTM in all experimental periods, except after 30 and 45 minutes. The high fluoride presence in saliva after the use of Happydent may be significant to prevent dental caries and this should be evaluated in clinical researches. On the other hand, children at an age of risk for dental fluorosis should avoid the use of HappydentTM.

Abstract A robust and reliable method has been developed for the measurement of β-glucan in mushroom and mycelial products. Total glucan (plus free glucose and glucose from sucrose) was measured using controlled acid hydrolysis with H2SO4 and the glucose released specifically was measured using glucose oxidase/peroxidase reagent. α-Glucan (starch/glycogen) plus free glucose and glucose from sucrose were specifically measured after hydrolysis of starch/glycogen to glucose with glucoamylase and sucrose to glucose plus fructose with invertase and the glucose specifically measured with GOPOD reagent. β-Glucan was determined by the difference. Several acid and enzyme-based methods for the hydrolysis of the β-glucan were compared, and the best option was the method using H2SO4. For most samples, similar β-glucan values were obtained with both the optimized HCl and H2SO4 procedures. However, in the case of certain samples, specifically Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocus, the H2SO4 procedure resulted in significantly higher values. Hydrolysis with 2 N trifluoroacetic acid at 120°C was found to be much less effective than either of the other two acids evaluated. Assays based totally on enzymatic hydrolysis, in general, yielded much lower values than those obtained with the H2SO4 procedure.

With the rapid-freeze, deep-etch replica technique, the structural conformations of outer dynein arms in demembranated cilia from Tetrahymena were analyzed under two different conditions, i.e., in the absence of ATP and in the presence of ATP and vanadate. In the absence of ATP, the lateral view of axonemes was characterized by the egg-shaped outer dynein arms, which showed a slightly baseward tilt with a mean inclination of 11.1 degrees +/- 3.4 degrees SD from the perpendicular to the doublet microtubules. On the other hand, in the presence of 1 mM ATP and 100 microM vanadate, the outer arms were extended and slender and showed an increased baseward tilt with a mean inclination of 31.6 degrees +/- 4.9 degrees SD. In ATP-activated axonemes, these two types of arms coexisted, each type occurring in groups along one row of outer arms. These findings strongly suggest that the interdoublet sliding is caused by dynamic structural changes of dynein arms that follow the hydrolysis of ATP.
