Oxidized l-glutathione was esterified to the tetra methyl ester using thionyl chloride in methanol solvent. Other alcohols were tested and the reaction progress was monitored via ESI-MS. This procedure proved to be compatible with other small peptides not containing serine and cysteine residues. In contrast to previously reported methods this procedure provided convenient access to esterified p...

The reaction of readily available 1 -methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2- carboxylic acid (1) with thionyl chloride afforded the corresponding acyl chloride 2. The reaction of compound 2 with thiosemicarbazides yielded 1-(1 -methyl-4-nitrop yrrole-2-carbony1)- thiosemicarbazides (3) which cyclized in basic medium to 5-(1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole- 2-y1)-2,4-dihydro-3H- l,2,4-triazole-3- thione 4. Alkylatio...

2,2'-disubstitutedamino-4-4'-bis-pyrimidines (3a-m) have been prepared by linking 2,4-dichloro-6-methyl-5-nitropyrimidine (1) with several diamines and subsequent reaction with suitable amines. some of these compounds (3c and 3j) which were reduced catalitically, on treatment with nitrous acid, urea in pyridine, and boiling thionyl chloride gave the corresponding bistriazolopyrimidin ...

modified form, the Wittig cyclisation chemistry of Woodwardet al.3) and Nayler et al.4) (Scheme 1). The racemic acids (4) were converted in conventional fashion into the corresponding chloromethyl ketones (5), which were then used to alkylate the azetidinone thiol5) (6). Addition of ^-butyl glyoxylate to the derived ketone (7), followed by elaboration of the aminols (8) with thionyl chloride an...

Syntheses of steroidal heterocycles containing a five-membered N,S- heterocycle attached at the 6,7 positions of the B ring are reported. 5Alpha-cholestane-6-one (1), its 3beta-acetoxy- (2) and 3beta-chloro- (3) analogues reacted with semicarbazide and aqueous sodium acetate in refluxing ethanol to yield 5alpha-cholestan-6-one-semicarbazone 1a and its 3-beta-acetoxy and 3beta-chloro derivatives...
