The syntheses and biological activity of ring-A heterocyclic steroids have been reviewed. The JV-cyano-2-aza-A-norandrostane (333) was synthesized from the dibromo-seco-compound (331) via the JV-phenyl-2-aza-A-norandrostane (332) (Scheme 17). The mixture of iodoisothiocyanates (334) and (335) (see ref. 

Synthesis of the 3-lactam antibiotics, particularly cephalosporin C and penicillin N, by Cephalosporium acremonium is inhibited by glucose, ammonium ions, and inorganic phosphate when one or more of these nutrients is present at high concentrations in the medium [94]. Each of these nutrients inhibited the formation and activity of ring expandase, an enzyme catalyzing the conversion of the five-membered ring intermediate isopenicillin N into the six-membered deacetoxycephalosporin C [94].

One of the two possible disconnections a is better as it gives us an acyl rather than an alkyl halide and an activated benzene ring.

The nature of the substituent on the exocyclic nitrogen also influences the ambident activity of anion 48 in DMF (Scheme 35) when R is an heterocyclic ring, nitrogen alkylation predominates (189) when R is a methylamino group, a mixture of the two isomers is reported (190) when... 

When unsubstituted, C-5 reacts with electrophilic reagents. Thus phosphorus pentachloride chlorinates the ring (36, 235). A hydroxy group in the 2-position activates the ring towards this reaction. 4-Methylthiazole does not react with bromine in chloroform (201, 236), whereas under the same conditions the 2-hydroxy analog reacts (55. 237-239. 557). Activation of C-5 works also for sulfonation (201. 236), nitration (201. 236. 237), Friede 1-Crafts reactions (201, 236, 237, 240-242), and acylation (243). However, iodination fails (201. 236). and the Gatterman or Reimer-Tieman reactions yield only small amounts of 4-methyl-5-carboxy-A-4-thiazoline-2-one. Recent kinetic investigations show that 2-thiazolones are nitrated via a free base mechanism. A 2-oxo substituent increases the rate of nitration at the 5-position by a factor of 9 log...

A reaction of aryl diazonium salts that does not involve loss of nitrogen takes place when they react with phenols and arylamines Aryl diazonium ions are relatively weak elec trophiles but have sufficient reactivity to attack strongly activated aromatic rings The reaction is known as azo coupling two aryl groups are joined together by an azo (—N=N—) function... 

The indole ring is incorporated into the stmcture of the amino acid tryptophan [6912-86-3] (6) and occurs in proteins and in a wide variety of plant and animal metaboUtes. Much of the interest in the chemistry of indole is the result of efforts to understand the biological activity of indole derivatives in order to develop pharmaceutical appHcations. 

Vinylpyridine (23) came into prominence around 1950 as a component of latex. Butadiene and styrene monomers were used with (23) to make a terpolymer that bonded fabric cords to the mbber matrix of automobile tires (25). More recendy, the abiUty of (23) to act as a Michael acceptor has been exploited in a synthesis of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (24) (26). The sequence consists of a Michael addition of (23) to 4-cyanopyridine (15), replacement of the 4-cyano substituent by dimethylamine (taking advantage of the activation of the cyano group by quatemization of the pyridine ring), and base-cataly2ed dequatemization (retro Michael addition). 4-r)imethyl aminopyri dine is one of the most effective acylation catalysts known (27). 

The N-oxide function has proved useful for the activation of the pyridine ring, directed toward both nucleophilic and electrophilic attack (see Amine oxides). However, pyridine N-oxides have not been used widely ia iadustrial practice, because reactions involving them almost iavariably produce at least some isomeric by-products, a dding to the cost of purification of the desired isomer. Frequently, attack takes place first at the O-substituent, with subsequent rearrangement iato the ring. For example, 3-picoline N-oxide [1003-73-2] (40) reacts with acetic anhydride to give a mixture of pyridone products ia equal amounts, 5-methyl-2-pyridone [1003-68-5] and 3-methyl-2-pyridone [1003-56-1] (11). 

A small fraction of the hydrocarbons decompose and deposit on the catalyst as carbon. Although the effect is minute ia terms of yield losses, this carbon can stiU significantly reduce the activity of the catalyst. The carbon is formed from cracking of alkyl groups on the aromatic ring and of nonaromatics present ia certain ethylbenzene feedstocks. It can be removed by the water gas reaction, which is catalyzed by potassium compounds ia the catalyst. Steam, which is... 

Titanium Silicates. A number of titanium siUcate minerals are known (160) examples are Hsted in Table 19. In most cases, it is convenient to classify these on the basis of the connectivity of the SiO building blocks, eg, isolated tetrahedra, chains, and rings, that are typical of siUcates in general. In some cases, the SiO units may be replaced, even if only to a limited extent by TiO. For example, up to 6% of the SiO in the garnet schorlomite can be replaced by TiO. In general, replacement of SiO by TiO bull ding blocks increases the refractive indices of these minerals. Ti has also replaced Si in the framework of various zeofltes. In addition, the catalytic activity of both titanium-substituted ZSM-5 (TS-1) and ZSM-11 (TS-2) has received attention (161), eg, the selective oxidation of phenol, with hydrogen peroxide, to hydroquinone and catechol over TS-1 has been operated at the 10,000 t/yr scale in Italy (162).
