Synthesis of Isocoumarins: Rhenium Complex-Catalyzed Cyclization of 2-Ethynylbenzoic Acids
摘要:
When 2-ethynylbenzoic acids were treated with a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex, such as ReCl(CO())5, 6-endo cyclization of 2-ethynylbenzoic acids proceeded with a high selectivity to give the corresponding isocoumarins in moderate to good yields.
5-Substituted-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imines, derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as anticonvulsants.

The present invention is directed to novel tricyclic antidepressant drug derivatives synthesized for covalent attachment to proteins or polypeptide antigens for use in the preparation of antibodies or receptors to tricyclic antidepressant drugs and tricyclic antidepressant metabolites. The new derivatives are characterized by a saturated double bond on the amitriptyline portion of the molecule and are represented by the structure
where R1 is a saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched chain of 0-10 carbon or heteroatoms, X is a linker group consisting of 0-2 substituted or unsubstituted aromatic rings, and Y is an activated ester or NH—Z, where Z is a poly(amino acid). The novel tricyclic antidepressant activated hapten derivatives are useful for preparing tracers and conjugates for tricyclic antidepressant immunoassays, including an enzyme immunoassay and a microparticle capture inhibition assay using an antibody produced from the novel immunogen with a conjugate derivatized either at the N-1 position of imipramine or at the C-2 position of dihydroamitriptyline.

Complexation of phthalides and substituted 3-benzylidene phthalides with Cr(CO)6
The acid-catalysed complexation of various substituted phthalides with Cr(CO)6 has been studied. Complexation of substituted 3-benzylidene phthalides takes place at the phenyl ring in most cases, but with di-halogeno-substituted 3-benzylidene phthalides the complexation took place at the phthalide moiety. An explanation of this difference is based on molecular modelling quantum chemical calculations
