D derivatives

The discovery that vitamin was metabolized to biologically active derivatives led to a significant effort to prepare 25-hydroxy vitamin and, subsequendy, the 1 a-hydroxy and 1,25 dihydroxy derivatives. Initial attempts centered around modification of steroidal precursors, which were then converted to the D derivatives by conventional means. 

Similarly, no systematic study of the IR spectra of the pyridopyridazines has been recorded, but the spectra of the [2,3-d] derivatives have been discussed <68AJCl29l). The diones of this series have also been studied <69MI21501), and IR used to distinguish between the structure (303) and the possible isomeric formulation (304) <74JHC35l). The IR spectra of some of the azodicarboxylic ester adducts <79X2027) have been recorded, whilst in the benzo fused systems some problems with the structure of acyl derivatives in the pyridazino[4,5-6]quinoline series have been resolved with the help of IR spectroscopy <71BSF906, 72BSF1588). 

In an interesting application, the charge density at the ring junction in [2,3-d] and [3,4-d] derivatives was related to the diuretic activity of the compounds (79MI21501). 

Finally, the [2,3-d] derivative (rather surprisingly in view of the above) is reported to undergo Tschitschibabin-type amination at the 2-position of the pyridine ring 69AJC1745). 

Some advantages of this reaction are high yield if the tosylate is in a sterically accessible position excellent isotopic purity of the product (usually higher than-95%) and perhaps most important, access to stereospecifically labeled methylene derivatives. For example, deuteride displacement of 3j -tosylates (183) yields the corresponding Sa-d derivative (185) in 96-98% isotopic purity. Application of this method to the labeled sulfonate (184), obtained. by lithium aluminum deuteride reduction of a 3-ketone precursor (see section HI-A) followed by tosylation, provides an excellent synthesis of 3,3-d2 labeled steroids (186) without isotopic scrambling at the adjacent positions. The only other method which provides products of comparable isotopic purity at this position is the reduction of the tosyl-hydrazone derivative of 3-keto steroids (section IV-B). 

The synthetic capabilities of this compound arc not yet exhausted. Acetoacetic ester and its alk d derivatives undergo decomposition in two wajs, accoidiiig to whether dilute alkalis and acids or, on the other hand, strong alkalis are employed. 

Dynamic shear moduli are conveniently determined with automated equipment, for instance, with the torsion pendulum. However, moduli derived from dynamic tests are often higher than the results from static tests for lack of relaxation. Examples are shown in Table 3.3. Young s moduli of the polymers A, B, C, D, derived from tensile tests (frequency 0.01 Hz) are compared with shear moduli S determined with the torsion pendulum (frequency > 1 Hz). For rubberlike materials is 3S/E = 1, according to Eq. 

Models of population growth are analogous to chemical reaction rate equations. In the model developed by Malthus in 1798, the rate of change of the population N of Earth is dN/dt = births — deaths. The numbers of births and deaths are proportional to the population, with proportionality constants b and d. Derive the integrated rate law for population change. How well does it fit the approximate data for the population of Earth over time given below ...

The concept of using diazaquinones for diene system protection was accomplished in the case of some vitamin D derivatives, as shown in Scheme 37 (86JOC4819). Acetyl vitamin D2152 was protected with phtha-lazinedione 83a, providing a mixture of both possible stereoisomeric adducts from which 153 was isolated. Then usual ozonolysis procedure afforded aldehyde 154, which after the Wittig coupling and hydrogenation provided 155. The most difficult part of the sequence proved to be the deprotection of this compound, but this transformation was accomplished...

Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone that (along with PTH and the vitamin D derivative, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) plays a central role in regulating serum ionized calcium (Ca2+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels. The adult human body contains up to 2 kg of calcium, of which 98 per cent is present in the skeleton (i.e. bone). Up to 85 per cent of the 1 kg of phosphorus present in the body is also found in the skeleton (the so-called mineral fraction of bone is largely composed of Ca3(P04)2, which acts as a body reservoir for both calcium and phosphorus). Calcium concentrations in human serum approximate to 0.1 mg ml-1 and are regulated very tightly (serum phosphate levels are more variable). 

Calcitriol and tacalcitol are other vitamin D derivatives that have been studied for treatment of psoriasis. 

An efficient synthetic route to (10Z)- and (10 )-19-lluoro-la,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 has been developed (488). The key feature of this pathway is the introduction of a 19-fluoromethylene group to a (5 )-19-nor-10-oxo-vitamin D derivative. The 10-oxo compound 445 has been obtained via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of (5 )-la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D with in situ generated nitrile oxide, followed by ring cleavage of the formed isoxazoline moiety with molybdenum hexacarbonyl. Conversion of the keto group of (5 )-19-nor-10-oxo-vitamin D to the E and Z fluoromethylene group has been achieved via a two-step sequence, involving a reaction of lithiofluoromethyl phenyl sulfone, followed by the reductive de-sulfonylation of the u-lluoro-j3-hydroxysulfone. The dye-sensitized photoisomerization of the (5 )-19-fluorovitamin D affords the desired (5Z)-19-fluorovitamin D derivatives, (10Z)- and (10 )-19-fluoro-la,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3. 

Halket and Lisboa (25) examined several Vitamin D derivatives by capillary gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. This technique offered the advantages of great sensitivity and separating power. Retention times and fragmentation patterns for ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol and calcitriol were reported.

Having explored the scope of this reaction, it was then possible to use an optically active phosphoramidate (232.d), derived from (5)-a-methyl-benzylamine, to perform a kinetic resolution procedure.134,138 Upon reaction of 221 with 0.5 equiv of the phosphoramidate anion 232.d, selective reaction with the 7 -isomer of 221 resulted in an enhancement in the proportion of 5-221 along with the expected ketenimine products (233). The absolute configuration of i -233.d was determined by X-ray crystallography, and thus all other absolute configurations assigned by comparison of CD and HPLC data.39,138... 

Chemical weed control in cacao plantations with volatile weed killers is generally considered detrimental to pollinating insects and to the flower and fruit set. Recently Naundorf (28) and Oliver (33) in Colombia conducted tests with compounds derived from 2,4-D and with an ammonium salt of dinitro-o-cresol to determine the effect of these materials on the flowers. They found that dinitro-o-cresol can be used at the dosages commercially recommended, and that only the volatile 2-4-D derivatives at concentrations of 500 to 750 grams per plaza (6400 square meters) can be used.
