Interestingly, one-electron oxidants partly mimic the effects of OH radicals in their oxidizing reactions with the thymine moiety of nucleosides and DNA. In fact, the main reaction of OH radicals with 1 is addition at C-5 that yields reducing radicals in about 60% yield [34, 38]. The yield of OH radical addition at C-6 is 35% for thymidine (1) whereas the yield of hydrogen abstraction on the methyl group that leads to the formation of 5-methyl-(2 -de-oxyuridylyl) radical (9) is a minor process (5%). Thus, the two major differences in terms of product analysis between the oxidation of dThd by one-electron oxidants and that by the OH radical are the distribution of thymidine 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxide diastereomers and the overall percentage of methyl oxidation products. 

The activity of PK and NRPSs is often precluded and/or followed by actions upon the natural products by modifying enzymes. There exists a first level of diversity in which the monomers for respective synthases must be created. For instance, in the case of many NRPs, noncanonical amino acids must be biosynthesized by a series of enzymes found within the biosynthetic gene cluster in order for the peptides to be available for elongation by the NRPS. A second level of molecular diversity comes into play via post-synthase modification. Examples of these activities include macrocyclization, heterocyclization, aromatization, methylation, oxidation, reduction, halogenation, and glycosylation. Finally, a third level of diversity can occur in which molecules from disparate secondary metabolic pathways may interact, such as the modification of a natural product by an isoprenoid oligomer. Here, we will cover only a small subsection of... 

Methylthiopyrido[2,3-e][ 1,2,4]triazine 41 was prepared (76KGSI140) by cyclization of 2-amino-3-hydrazinopyridine 40 with carbon disulfide followed by methylation. Oxidation of 41 with chlorine afforded the 3-methylsulfonopyridotriazine 42. Heating 41 with morpholine or pyrrolidine gave 43, whereas the reaction at 20°C gave 44. 

A simple example in this class with which to begin is A,A-diethyl-m-to-luamide 0V,/V-dicthyl-3-mcthylbenzamidc, DEET, 4.82), an extensively used topical insect repellant. The hydrolysis product 3-methylbenzoic acid was detected in the urine of rats dosed intraperitoneally or topically with DEET. However, amide hydrolysis represented only a minor pathway, the major metabolites resulting from methyl oxidation and A-dealkylation [52], Treatment of rats with /V,/V-dicthylbcnzamidc (4.83), a contaminant in DEET, produced the same urinary metabolites as its secondary analogue, A-ethylbenzamide (see Sect. 4.3.1.2). This observation can be explained by invoking a metabolic pathway that involves initial oxidative mono-A-deethylation followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the secondary amide to form ethylamine and benzoic acid [47], Since diethylamide was not detected in these experiments, it appears that A,A-diethylbenzamide cannot be hydrolyzed by amidases, perhaps due to the increased steric bulk of the tertiary amido group.

Initially Robinson and Sugasawa (8) proposed that laudanosoline (5), prepared from laudanosine (4) by O-demethylation with aluminium chloride in refluxing xylene, could be oxidized to an aporphine or morphine prototype. To demonstrate that no rearrangement had occurred, 4 was regenerated from 5 by O-methylation. Oxidation of 5 was accomplished with chloranil in buffered alcohol solution, and 6 was isolated in 60% yield as the chloride (Scheme 1). Di-benzopyrrocoline 6 was also obtained in 30-50% yield when aqueous solutions... 

The HPLC-MS/MS method has been recently applied for the measurement of the cis and trans diastereomers of 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine (8), 5-formyl-2 -deoxyuridine (11) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2 -deoxyuridine (10) within cellular DNA exposed to ionizing radiation and heavy particles. The two methyl oxidation products 10 and 11 and thymidine glycols 8 (Chart 3) that are produced within the range of 20 to 100 lesions per 10 normal bases and per Gy (Table 3) are likely to be derived from the decomposition of 5-(hydroperoxymethyl)-2 -deoxyuridine (7) and 5-(6)-hydroperoxy-6-(5)-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine 5 and 6, respectively.

A more efficient method for converting the oxide (258) to 2-azaquinolizinium bromide is by refluxing it in phosphorus tribromide (Scheme 129) <67JCS(C)2391>. Deoxygenation by use of phosphorus trichloride or tribromide proved effective (7lJCS(C)86l) with a number of 2-azaquinolizinium 2-oxides substituted in positions 1 and 3, although the 1-methyl oxide offered some resistance. 

The valency Of chlorine, bromine, and iodine.—Compounds are known in which the three halogens act as uni-, ter-, quinque-, or septa-valent elements. Usually, however, these elements are univalent. In chlorine dioxide, C102, the chlorine is bi- or quadri-valent.19 In M. Berthelot s hydrogen perchloride, HC13, the chlorine is probably tervalent, and R. Meldola (1888) showed that the oxygen in the hydrochloride of methyl oxide is best regarded as quadrivalent, the chlorine tervalent thus, (CH3)2 0 Cl.H. Iodine also appears to be tervalent in the so-called iodonium compounds. 

Methyl (2E,4E)Senoates. The dianion (2) of 1 can be prepared by treatment with I.DA and then sec-butyllithium in THF at —78°. The dianion is alkylated selectively at the a-allylic position to give 3 as the major product. Treatment of 3 with LDA induces a [2,3]sigmatropic rearrangement to 4. Remaining steps to the diunsaturated ester (6) are methylation, oxidation, and dchydrosulfcnylation.1... 

Many substances can serve as the stationary phase for gas chromatographic separations of methyl esters in most cases polyester, polyether, or silicone greases are used. Percival (18) has investigated the composition of polyesters by methanolysis with sodium methyl oxide. The dimethyl esters of the dicarboxylic acids present in the composition and free glycols are formed and subsequently are separated at temperatures between 110° and 180° C. on a column of GE silicone SF-96 and Fluoropak 80. It should be possible to adapt this method to the analysis of polyesters used as plasticizers. 

The increased temperature results in an increased rate of destruction of the branching intermediate (methyl hydroperoxide) with a consequent further increase of the rate, but also a decreased rate of formation of fresh hydroperoxide since Equilibrium 5 is displaced to the left, and the alternative reactions of methylperoxy increase in rate faster than that leading to formation of hydroperoxide. Consequently the quasi-stationary concentration of methyl hydroperoxide falls, and the rate of reaction declines since the new product of methyl oxidation—formaldehyde— cannot bring about branching at these temperatures. The temperature of the reaction mixture falls (because the rate has fallen), and when it has fallen sufficiently, provided sufficient of the reactants remain, the whole process may be repeated, and several further flames may be observed.
