The title compound {systematic name: (1R,4S,4aS,7R,8aR)-4-bromo-7-[(1S,3R)-3-bromo-1,2,2-trimethyl-cyclo-pent-yl]-1,4a-dimethyl-deca-hydro-naphthalene-1,7,8a-triol}, C(20)H(34)Br(2)O(3), is a neoirieane-type bromo-diterpenoid isolated from Laurencia yonaguniensis Masuda et Abe, species inedita. The absolute stereochemistry was established as (1S,4R,5R,7R,10S,11S,14R). The structure displays int...

Addition of 1-3 mM-8-bromo-cyclic AMP to monolayer cultures of H-4 rat hepatoma cells resulted in a rapid but short-lived increase in tyrosine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.5) activity. The transient nature of this induction is due to desensitization to 8-bromo-cyclic AMP. Throughout this time course of induction and desensitization, removal of 8-bromo-cyclic AMP resulted in a rapid and significan...

A practical synthesis of 1-bromo-2-amino-3-butene derivatives from homoallylic trichloroacetimidates was reported. Simply heating the mixture of substrates and N-bromoacetamide in DMF at 90 °C would give the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction may proceed through a domino bromo-cyclization and elimination pathway. The synthesis of 4,5-dihydrooxazoles from 1-bromo-2-am...

N-Galactopyranosyland N-glucopyranosyl imines of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes react with 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene in a domino Mannich-Michael reaction cascade to give 2-substituted 5,6-dehydro-piperidin-4-ones with high diastereoselectivity. Treatment of these cyclic enaminones with N-bromo-succinimide yields the corresponding 2-substituted 5-bromo-5,6-deh...

The regiocontrolled preparation of triarylisothiazoles is presented. 3-Halo-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitriles, 1 (hal=Cl) and 18 (hal=I), are converted into the corresponding 4-bromo derivatives 5 (3-hal=Cl) and 24 (3-hal=I) via a Hunsdiecker strategy while the 4-iodo analogues 7 (3-hal=Cl) and 22 (3-hal=I) are prepared via a Hoffmann and Sandmeyer strategy. Regioselective Suzuki, Stille and ...

New carboranyl thioethers 1-MeO(CH2)nS-1,2-C2B10H11 (n = 2, 3) were prepared by the alkylation of trimethylammonium salt 1-mercapto-ortho-carborane with 1-bromo- 2-methoxyethane and 1-bromo-3-methoxypropane, respectively. Their deboronation cesium fluoride in ethanol gave corresponding nido-carboranes Cs[7-MeO(CH2)nS-7,8-C2B9H11] 3). The reactions Cs[7-MeO(CH2)2S-7,8-C2B9H11] various nickel(II)...
