The novel oxidant of sodium hypochlorite
pentahydrate (NaOCl·5H2O) crystals is now available
for industrial and laboratory
use. It is superior to conventional aqueous sodium hypochlorite solutions
(aq. NaOCl). The crystalline material is 44% NaOCl and contains minimal
amounts of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride, and the aqueous solution,
which is prepared from NaOCl·5H2O and water, has a
pH of 11–12. Examples of the selective organic synthesis using
NaOCl·5H2O involve the oxidations of primary and secondary
alcohols, selective oxidations to sulfoxide and sulfone, oxidative
cleavage of disulfide to sulfonyl chloride and bromide, oxaziridine
synthesis, and oxidative dearomatization of phenols.
A series of novel chiral 7-(7-amino-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptan-4-yl)-8-chloro-1-(2-fluo rocyclopropyl)- quinolones were synthesized as a continuation of a research project of 1-(2-fluorocyclopropyl)-quinolones by considering stereochemical and physicochemical properties of the molecule. Absolute configurations of the 1-(cis-2-fluorocyclopropyl) moiety and the 7-(7-amino-5-azaspiro-[2.4]heptan-5-yl) moiety were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Stereochemical structure-activity relationship studies indicated that 1-[(1R,2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl] and 7-[(7S)-amino-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptan-5-yl] derivatives are more potent against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria than the other stereoisomers and 7-[(7S)-7-amino-5-azaspiro[2.4]-heptan-5-yl]-8-chloro-1-[(1R ,2S)-2- fluorocyclopropyl]quinolone (33) is the most potent of all stereoisomers. Pharmacokinetic profiles and physicochemical properties of the selected compounds were also examined, and it was found that 33 (DU-6859a) possesses moderate lipophilicity and good pharmacokinetic profiles.
We have found novel piperazinyloxoquinoline derivatives to be potent and selective inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in both acutely and chronically infected cells. 8-Difluoromethoxy-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-didehydro-7-[4-(2-met hoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (K-12), the most potent congener of the series, completely inhibited HIV-1 replication in acutely infected MOLT-4 cells at a concentration of 0.16 to 0.8 microM without showing any cytotoxicity. The compound completely suppressed tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced HIV-1 expression in latently infected cells (OM-10.1) and constitutive viral production in chronically infected cells (MOLT-4/III(B)) at a concentration of 0.8 microM. K-12 could also inhibit HIV-1 antigen expression in OM-10.1 and MOLT-4/III(B) cells at this concentration. Northern blot analysis revealed that K-12 selectively prevented the accumulation of HIV-1 mRNA in MOLT-4/III(B) and TNF-alpha-treated OM-10.1 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. It was not inhibitory to HIV-1 Tat or the cellular transcription factors NF-kappaB and Sp1, suggesting that the piperazinyloxoquinoline derivatives are a group of HIV-1 transcription inhibitors with a unique mechanism of action.
acetic acid by the method of Wilkinson et al.7 Dioxane was refluxed with sodium metal and distilled. Other starting materials were commercial grade.Intramolecular Aromatic Nuclear Acyloxylation Reaction of Phenylacetic Acid (Run 6). Into a 50-mL centrifuge tube containing a magnetic stirring bar were added phenylacetic acid (5 mmol), K2S208 (8 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.5 mmol), dioxane (10 mL), and CH3S03H (1.5 mL), and the tube was sealed under air (7)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
