This thesis deals with the development of synthetic methodologies for the preparation of enantioand diastereomerically enriched nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Asymmetric Lewis acid mediated Diels-Alder reactions with 2H-azirines as dienophiles have been studied. Diastereoselective reactions with enantiomerically pure auxiliary-derived 2H-azirines afforded substituted biand tri-cyclic azahete...

The naturally occurring inositol polyphosphate, inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6, phytic acid) primes human neutrophils for enhanced responses to stimulatory agonists. Unlike other primers InsP6 has no effect at high doses (up to 500 microM) on the neutrophil's basal rate of superoxide production (O2-). Pretreatment of the cells for 2 min with InsP6 (100 microM) substantially enhances fMet-Leu-...

treatment of 1-(5-bromo-2-chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)-1-methylhydrazine withdimethylthiocarbamoylchloride gave 7-chloro-n,n, 1,5-tetramethyl-1h-pyrimido[4,5-e][1,3,4]thiadiazin-3-amine in basic acetonitrile. the latter compounds were reacted withsecondary amines in boiling ethanol to afford the related 7-amino derivatives.

To synthesize 4-chloro-5-methoxy-2-(b-trifluoroethyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone (4), the reactions of 4-chloro-5-methoxy-3(2H)-pyridazinone (5) with RCH(2)CF(3)(R = I, TsO, MsO, TfO) in different solvents were studied. It was found that methyl group migration took place during this reaction. An oxonium salt 9 was suggested as the active intermediate for the formation of the byproduct 4-chloro-5-methox...

In the title salt, C11H12ClN2O(+)·Cl(-), the ten non-H atoms comprising the quinolinium residue are coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.041 Å) and the hy-droxy-ethyl group is approximately perpendicular to this plane [Cring-N-Cmethyl-ene-C torsion angle = -74.61 (18)°]. A supra-molecular chain aligned along [101] mediated by charge-assisted O/N-H⋯Cl(-) hydrogen bonds features in the crystal packing....
