The mechanisms of decomposition of the 1- and 2-phenyltetralin radical cations
摘要:
AbstractMechanisms for decomposition of 1‐ and 2‐phenyltetralins were investigated using low resolution mass spectrometry and metastable ion techniques. Four primary decompositions were observed for 1‐phenyltetralin radical cations: (1) the loss of C6H6 via a 1,4‐elimination; (2) the elimination of ethene via competing losses from carbons 3 + 4 and carbons 2 + 3; (3) the loss of C8H8, probably through a stepwise Diels‐Alder cycloreversion to expel styrene; and (4) the loss of methyl radical involving carbon 2 and possibly carbon 4. Three major decompositions were observed for 2‐phenyltetralin radical cations: (1) the loss of C8H8, possibly through a Diels‐Alder cycloreversion to expel styrene; (2) the loss of C6H6 via a 1,3 elimination; and (3) the loss of methyl radical from carbon 1. Various exchange reactions occur prior to these losses, but they proved to be incomplete even for metastable ions.
developed for reactions of malonates with styrene derivatives. The concept of this process lies in the photo-oxidation of catalytic amounts of the enolate to form reactive radicals that react with alkene double bonds under mild reaction conditions. This is an example of visible-light-activated C–C bond formation reactions of malonates with alkenes to realize high atom economy under very mild reaction conditions

Irradiation of arylcyclopropanes bearing at least one electron-withdrawing group with a tertiaryamine in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of the regioselective addition product of the amine along with the reduction product.

malonate, ethyl acetoacetate, and ethyl benzoylacetate under Knoevenagel conditions in the presence of molecularsieves to give the 1-naphthols (2), (5), and (6). Glass wool is a less effective catalyst for formation of (2). 3,3-Diethoxycarbonyl-1,1-diphenylpropene (4) is converted into the naphthol (2) in high yield by heating with molecularsieves but its saturated analogue (3) is unaffected.

A treatment for epilepsy is proposed based on analogues of 3-aminopropionic acid (beta-alanine), a putative neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). A model three point pharmacophore was proposed based on modelling data obtained from the study of antagonists for both the glial gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-uptake site and the glycine co-agonist site of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Three series of 3-aminopropionic acids containing, N-, alpha-, and beta-substituents, were designed and synthesized to probe the position and the size of a lipophilic binding pocket within the proposed pharmacophore. These analogues were tested in vivo for both their antiseizure activities and their neurologic toxicities. Among the fourteen novel 3-aminopropionic acids synthesized, eight were found to have promising antiseizure activity. This study shows that substitution on the N-terminus confers the greatest antiseizure activity, particularly against pilocarpine-induced seizures. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
