ALKYLATION AND OXIDATIONS OF SYMMETRICAL DIMETHYLENEBIPHENYL AND RELATED DIANIONS (CYCLOPHANE, BIPHENYLOPHANE, NMR, CONFORMATION).

WHITE, JAMES JEFFREY. January 1986 (has links)
Bis-benzyl dianions were prepared from the three symmetrical dimethylbiphenyls in yields of 79-86%, and shown to react with a variety of electrophiles on the benzylic carbons. Electrophiles included dimethyl and diethyl sulfate, isopropyl bromide, t-butyl iodide, allyl chloride, trimethylsilyl chloride, trimethylgermyl bromide, and trimethyltin chloride. Reaction of the dianions with (alpha),(omega)-dihalides provides an excellent route to n.0 - and n.0.n.0 cyclophanes. An X-ray study on 14.0 paracyclophane showed it to have a conformation different from that observed in solution by NMR; MM2 calculations were used in determining what the solution conformation is likely to be. Oxidation of the dianions produced the monomer dihydrophenanthrene from the ortho isomer, dimer 2.0.2.0 metacyclophane from the meta isomer, and polymer from the para isomer. An X-ray study on 2.0.2.0 metacyclophane showed it to have the same conformation in the crystal as is observed in solution by NMR. An NMR method for determining the angle of twist in a biphenyl based on the chemical shift of the ortho hydrogens was developed. Many oxidizing agents were evaluated for the oxidation of the dianion from 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to 1,2,5,6-tetramethylenecyclooctane; cupric bromide was found to be the best.

SYNTHESIS OF CHIRAL LIPIDS. APPLICATIONS TO THE SPECIFICITIES OF LIPOLYTIC ENZYMES.

KANDA, PATRICK. January 1984 (has links)
In this study, synthetic routes to certain short acyl chain phospholipids were developed. Their inhibitory or substrate properties for phospholipase A₂ were then examined. An improved method for the acylation of glycerophosphocholine is described using a mixed fatty acid - trifluoroacetic acid anhydride. This partial synthetic route is particularly suitable for obtaining short acyl chain phosphatidylcholines. A new pathway for constructing the unnatural sn-1-phosphatidylcholines is also described, starting from L-arabinose. This is converted first to a key intermediate, 2,3-O-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol, which is then phosphorylated and transformed into sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine. This can be acylated as above to give sn-1-phosphatidylcholines. Routes to the short chain phosphatidylethanolamines were investigated and discussed. A procedure, using phospholipase D, was used to convert L-diC₆ PC into L-diC₆ PE in a transphosphatidylation reaction. Failed attempts to obtain shorter chain homologs by this and other methods are also detailed. The kinetics of inhibition of the phospholipase A₂ hydrolysis of L-diC₆ PC by the D-isomer are also reported for the monomeric concentration range. It was found that the D- enantiomer did not behave as a pure competitive inhibitor, and that an enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complex can exist. The implications of these results with regard to PLA₂ hydrolysis of mixed micelles is discussed. The PLA₂ substrate properties of both the anionic and zwitterionic diC₆ PE's were also studied. It was established that the anionic diC₆ PE is either a very poor substrate relative to the zwitterionic diC₆ PE, or acts as a competitive inhibitor towards its hydrolysis. Similarly, the rates of base-catalyzed acyl ester hydrolysis are about 18 times greater for the zwitterionic than for the anionic diC₆ PE. The importance of a protonated amino group in both these hydrolyses studies is noted. In addition, certain physical properties of diC₆ PE, such as its critical micelle concentration and carbon-13 NMR spectrum, are also given.

Synthesis and antimicrobial screening of some C-4- hydroxybenzo[c]pyranquinones

Masenya, Tebogo January 2001 (has links)
Thesis (MTech(Chemistry))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2001 / Many naturally occurring antibiotics have been identified and their synthesis successfully carried out in laboratories. It was envisaged by our group that by preparing a variety of, for example, quinoid compounds and then comparing their biological properties and activities, a better insight would be gained into a molecular structure - activity relationship. Chapter 1 deals with the attempted synthesis of 2-(1 '-hydroxyethyl)-3-(prop-2'enyl)- 1,4-benzoquinone (17) which may be converted by known methods into benzopyran derivatives. The second chapter describes a synthetic route to (±)(3R, 4R)-3,4-dihydro-3methyl- 4-hydroxy-l H-benzo[c]pyran-5,8-dione (42) and its (±)(45) diastereomer (43), both of which were found to be active against Gram negative and Gram positive organisms. The trans-l,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxypyranquinones (45) and (46) were also successfully synthesised. A different route of synthesis for the compounds (53), (54), (55) and (56) was also investigated. Several compounds were evaluated for biological activity. It was found that the quinones synthesised during this study were active against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, with the exception of compound (25) which had an acetate group in place of a hydroxy group. It was found that this trend was carried through all of the quinone derivatives tested.
