New 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 6, 7 and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, 8, 9 containing a phenylalanine moiety have been synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides, 4, 5, in acid and alkaline media, respectively; the thiosemicarbazides were obtained by reaction of hydrazide 3 with appropriate aromatic isothiocyanates. The toxicity of the synthesized compounds was eval...

Selected 2,6-(disubstituted)purine 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxynucleosides and 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides were prepared and evaluated. Treatment of 5'-protected ribonucleosides with phenoxythiocarbonyl chloride and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, or under Schotten-Baumann conditions, gave high yields of 2',3'-O-thionocarbonates that underwent Corey-Winter elimination. Treatment of unprotected ribonuc...

Ebastine, 4-(benzhydr-yloxy)-1-[4-(4-tert-butyl-phen-yl)-4-oxobut-yl]piperidine, reacts with 3,5-di-nitro-benzoic acid in methanol solution to give the title 1:1 salt, ebastinium 3,5-di-nitro-benzoate, C32H40NO2+·C7H3N2O6-. In the cation, the disubstituted aryl ring exhibits orientational disorder over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies 0.706 (4) and 0.294 (6), with a dihedral angle of...

A strategy for the stereoselective functionalization of thietane 1-oxide has been developed. Mono (C2 substituted) and doubly (C2, C4 disubstituted) functionalized thietanes have been obtained from the readily available thietane 1-oxide by using the corresponding organometallic intermediates that reacted with electrophiles leaving intact the 4-membered ring.

A (2R,4S)-trans-disubstituted pyrrolidine ring system was constructed by employing iodine-mediated oxidative cyclization of (1R)-N-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-butenyl]acetamide 3 as a key step. The resulting diastereomeric mixture of (2R)-2-aryl-4-acetoxypyrrolidine 4 was stereoselectively converted to the side-chain of a novel ultrabroad-spectrum carbapenem 1, via (2R,4R)-2-aryl-4-hydroxypyrrolidine 7.
