چکیده

Computations provide insight to the stability and isomeric possibilities of thiotropocin, tropodithietic acid, and troposulfenin. Thiotropocin and tropodithietic acid contain a flat 7-membered ring and delocalized pi-bonds similar to those of tropylium ion (C(7)H(7)(+)). Troposulfenin is far less stable; it contains a puckered tropone ring and localized bonds similar to 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene. A facile 1,5-hydrogen shift suggests that thiotropocin and tropodithietic acid exist as a pair of interconverting tautomers. Loss of an acidic proton from these three tautomers produces the same conjugate base structure.

Synthesis and bioactivity of analogues of the marine antibiotic tropodithietic acid

Tropodithietic acid (TDA) is a structurally unique sulfur-containing antibiotic from the Roseobacter clade bacterium Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395 and a few other related species. We have synthesised several structural analogues of TDA and used them in bioactivity tests against Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio anguillarum for a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, revealing that the su...

Change of the tautomeric preference for radical cation of pyruvic acid. DFT studies in the gas phase

Keto-enol tautomerism was investigated for ionized pyruvic acid using the DFT(B3LYP) method and the larger basis sets [6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd) and aug-cc-pVDZ]. Change of the tautomeric preference was observed when going from the neutral to ionized tautomeric mixture. Ionization favors the enolization process (ketoenol) of pyruvic acid, whereas the ketonization (ketoenol) is preferred ...

Use of activated enol ethers in the synthesis of pyrazoles: reactions with hydrazine and a study of pyrazole tautomerism

Activated enol ethers derived from esters or the dinitrile of malonic acid, or from pentane-2,4-dione were treated with hydrazine hydrate. The structures of the obtained products - pyrazoles 5 - were studied with a focus on tautomerism and supramolecular structure. A reverse addition of the reagents led to the isolation of two novel products, namely bis-enehydrazines 6 with an unsymmetrical arr...
