A range of twelve stabilised phosphonium ylides containing tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane rings have been prepared and fully characterised, including one X-ray structure determination of each type. The X-ray structures confirm the P=C and C=O functions to be syn and all the compounds undergo thermal extrusion of Ph3PO to give the corresponding alkynes. In some ca...

SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxy camptothecin) is a topoisomerase I inhibitor that is the active chemotherapeutic agent of irinotecan, indicated for colon cancer. Because the rate of response to irinotecan treatment is low, it is of interest to have a prognostic indicator to identify and more selectively treat those who are likely to respond to treatment. We have therefore prepared SN-38 labeled with ...

In the title compound, C(23)H(22)N(4)O(4), the essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.022 (1) Å] benzimidazole ring system forms dihedral angles of 86.16 (7) and 37.38 (6)°, respectively, with the imidazole and benzene rings. The dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene C atom at the flap. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a ribb...

Reacting an 1:1 stoichiometric molar ratio of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and 2,2,2-trimethoxy4,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholene, neat, at room temperature for one week, leads to the diastereoselective formation of a bis-ferrocenyl 1,3-dioxolane complex 1-(4-methyl-2,5diferrocenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)ethanone (1), in 30% isolated yield. The compound has been fully characterized by FT-IR, monoand two...

Ecdysteroids, molting hormones of insects, can exert several mild, non-hormonal bioactivities in mammals, including humans. In a previous study, we have found a significant effect of certain derivatives on the ABCB1 transporter mediated multi-drug resistance of a transfected murine leukemia cell line. In this paper, we present a structure-activity relationship study focused on the apolar dioxol...

The title compound, C23H25N3O4, {systematic name: 1-benzyl-4-[(3aR,5R,6R,6aR)-6-benz-yloxy-2,2-di-methyl-tetra-hydro-furo[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole}, consists of a substituted 2,2-di-methyl-tetra-hydro-furo[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole. The furan-ose ring adopts an envelope conformation close to C 3-exo, where the C atom substituted by the benz-yloxy group is the flap. The fused dioxolane...

A comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of the isothermal transport of species for the two model ternary-electrolytes with LiTFSI-Li2S4/dioxolane (DOL)-dimethoxyethane (DME) and LiTFSI-Li2S6/DOL-DME formulations is presented. An unambiguous picture of the polysulfide's mobility is set forth after a detailed investigation of the macroscopic transference number and diffusion coeffic...

In the title compound, C15H16O6, obtained from the acyl-ation reaction between 2,3-O-iso-propyl-idene-d-ribono-1,4-lactone and benzoyl chloride, the known absolute configuration for the lactone moiety of the ester substituent has been confirmed. The five-membered rings of the bicyclic lactone-dioxolane moiety both show envelope conformations and form a dihedral angle of 19.82 (7)° between the l...

We evaluated the in vitro anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) interactions between 1-beta-D-2,6-diaminopurine dioxolane (DAPD) and enfuvirtide (T-20) against clinical isolates sensitive and resistant to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors. Interactions between T-20 and DAPD were synergistic to nearly additive, with combination index values ranging from 0.53 to 1.06 at 95%...
