*Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Gunma University, 1-5-1 Tenjin-cho, Kiryu 376-8515, Japan

Abstract

A melamine derivative bearing a guanidinium ion was found to act as a flavin mononucleotide (FMN) receptor via complementaly hydrogen bonding. The receptor extracts FMN in H2O into CHCl3 and acts as as effective carrier for the transport of FMN through a liquid membrane of CHCl3.

*Department of Applied Chemistry and Molecular Science, Faculty of Engineering, Iwate University, 4-3-5 Ueda, Morioka, Iwate 020-8551, Japan

Abstract

Crystalline triselenide compounds, 4,7-dimethoxybenzotriselenole, was prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis; in the unit cell the two molecules stack each other with distorted triselenide rings sticking out from the benzene column. Interconversion accompanying one-electron transfer steps between the triselenole and the corresponding triselenolium radical cation salt has been constructed by chemical and electrochemical trreatments.

*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kumamoto University, 5-1 Oe-hon-machi, Kumamoto 862-0973, Japan

Abstract

Cyclization of the halohydrazones (3) prepared by the reaction of 5-hydrazinopyridazinones (1) with ethyl bromopyruvate (2a) and phenyl bromide (2b) in EtOH produced pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazinones (4). On the other hand, heating of ethyl bromopyruvate pyridazinylhydrazone (3a) in dioxane afforded 1,4-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazine (5a) in low yield. Compounds (5) were also obtained in good yields by heating the dihalohydrazones (7), which were synthesized from 4-chloro-5-hydrazinopyridazinones (6) and 2a,b in the presence of An(Cu). Heating of furylhydrazone (9) under similar consitions to those of the cyclization of 7 provides 3,6-provided 3,6-dihydrofuro[3,4-c]pyridazine (10).

Petrus J. Zeegers* and Malcolm J. Thompson

*Department of Chemistry, The Flinders University of South Australia, PO Box 2100 Adelaide SA 5001, Australia

Abstract

New quinoxaline spirans were synthesized by the condensation reaction between alloxan and a series of 2-amino-N,N-dimethylanilines derived from substituted nitrophenols. The spiro compounds were then subjected to treatment with hydrogen peroxide in acidic media. This procedure leads to the formation of coloured compounds which were previously proposed to be parabanic acid imines. This study shows the compounds to be quinoxaline carboxyureides.

Abstract

The reaction of 3,5-dochloro-4-pyridinecarbonitrile towards nucleophilic substitution of chlorine atoms and nucleophilic addition to the cyano group has been studied in presence of different nucleophiles and solvents in order to evidence the best conditions for the synthesis of 3,4,5-trifunctionalized pyridines. Besides the products of substitution of only one chlorine atom, 3,5-bis(ethylthio)-4-pyridinecarbonitrile and 3,5-bis(tert-butylthio)-4-pyridinecarbonitrile have been prepared in high yields and the reduction of their cyano to amino group has been studied in order to obtain model molecules and new selective inhibitors of extramitochondrial amine oxidase enzymes.

Substituent Effect of the Fluorine Atom on Electrophilic Deuteration of Benzo[h]quinoline

Wei Wu, Ken-ichi Saeki,* and Yutaka Kawazoe

*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya City University, Tanabe-dori, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya 467-8603, Japan

Abstract

Substituent effect of the fluorine atom on electrophillic substitution using the deuterium cation was examines by treating monofluorinated derivatives of benzo[h]quinoline with 96% D2SO4 at 80°C. The effect of the fluorine atom could not simply be explained by potent electron-withdrawing I-effect and electron-donating R-effect. The observed reaction rates were not simply correlated either with the stability of the σ-complexes estimated by a semiempirical molecular orbital MOPAC PM3 method. A fair correlation was found but not sufficiently for quantitative prediction of the rate.

Hydrogen N-Excange Reaction of Methyl-substituted N-Amino- and N-Methylquinolinium Ions

*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya City University, Tanabe-dori, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya 467-8603, Japan

Abstract

H-D Exchange rates of the hydrogens of methyl-substituted N-amino-quinolinium ions were comperad with those of the corresponding N-methylquinolinium derivatives. Intreatment carried out below 90°C in phosphate-buffered D2O solvents at pD’s ranging from 3.4 to 11.7, only the ring α-hydrogen and the α- and γ-methyl hydrogens underwent H-D exchange. The N-amino group facilitated exchanges of the ring α-hydrogen several tens of times more than did the N-methyl group, whereas the former facilitated the exchange of substituent methyl hydrogens only several times more than the latter. The pD-dependence of the exchange reactions are described.

Abstract

Photocyclization of tricyclic chloroacetamide (3) occurs on the indole 4-position to give the ten-membered lactam (4), whose structure was confirmed by conversion to the tetracyclic amine (6). Some conformational aspects of lactam (4) and thiolactam (5), namely the observation of conformers by nmr as a consequence of a restricted inversion of the ten-membered ring, are discussed.
