Methylation systems

The first example of an indolo[2,3-a]carbazole derivative reported with a reasonably estabhshed structure was the mono N-methylated system 9, prepared via dehydrogenation with palladium on charcoal of the octahydro derivative 10, available via reaction of the aminocarbazole 11 with 2-hydroxycyclohexanone in the presence of a trace amount of anihnium bromide (Scheme 1). An approach toward the parent compound 1 using the same method has also been attempted, although without success (56JCS4783). The utility of this route is impaired by the complexity of the starting material, which requires multistep preparation, and the harsh conditions of the final step. 

Returning yet again to the concentration-jump data for the triphenyl methyl system, we find in Fig. 3-4 plots of 8, versus time and of In[8,/(a - 4A 1<5,)] versus time. The values of 8, follow from the values of [A], given in Table 3-2. Least-squares fitting gives fci = 0.401 0.001 s-1. 

The lines show data for the triphenyl methyl system, Eq. (3-30). The data represent the results of a relaxation experiment consisting of a concentration jump (i.e., a dilution) on a pre-equilibrated solution. The solid line shows the least-squares fit of the second data set in Table 3-2 according to Eq. (3-36). Panel A shows 5, itself, and panel B the quantity ln[S,/(a - 4K-- 5,)], as in Eq. (3-35). 

Opposing reactions. Calculate half-times for equilibration in the triphenyl methyl system starting with all A or with the equilibrated mixture, for the conditions given in Table 3-3. Use algebraic equations, not the tabulated numerical values. Compare the latter with the t fi from the approximate solution given in Eq. (3-39). Compare the values of 4AT-15o and a, to assess whether Eq. (3-39) provides an adequate representation. 

In view of the lack of success in discovering a plausible natural methylating source for the methylgermanium species14, some efforts have been made to investigate model methylating systems in laboratories.

Identity 5h 2 reactions of MeF + F- and MeCl + CP have been compared computationally with the reactions of MeF + LiF or NaF and of MeCl + LiCl.87 Calculations by new methods essentially confirm results obtained previously by other methods. Extension of the calculations to the corresponding ethyl systems gave lower barriers than for methyl systems in the reactions involving ion pairs as nucleophiles.

The pyridothiadiazinone dioxide (169a) was successfully methylated using Mel to yield the N-methyl derivative (169b) <77USP4014888). Methylation ofpyrido[2,3-c]-l,2,6-thiadiazines yields both N-l and N-8 monomethyl derivatives. For example, methylation of compound (51b) delivers the TV-methylated systems (49) and (50) <86CS607>.

The azabarrelenes (61)—(63) are all photoreactive on acetone sensitiza-tion." The formation of products is dependent, to some extent, on the substitution pattern. The authors also believe, as a result of calculations, that there is some stereo-electronic control. Thus irradiation of (61) affords a single product (64) involving vinyl-benzo bridging and stabilization of the resultant radicals by overlap with the phenyl group. With the all-methyl system (62) the two products obtained [(65) and (66)] arise from the two modes of vinyl-benzobridging. In the other cases (63) studied, in addition to the formation of the types of product already discussed, an alternative reaction mode affords products (67)—(69) see Scheme (4). 

Other electron-rich systems are 1,3-dioxols and dioxenes. With the former, OH adds to the 4,5-C-C bond to give (x-alkoxy-y9-hydroxyalkyl radicals, Scheme 19. With the fully methylated system (left side of Scheme 19), at pH 2 the OH adduct is quantitatively converted (by H+-induced dehydration) to the radical cation, as judged by ESR, whereas with only hydrogens as substituents (right side), at pH 2 dehydration is too slow to lead to a visible decrease of the (stationary) concentration of the OH adduct (Scheme 19) [45].

Many intracellular proteins can be modified after their biosynthesis by the enzymatic addition of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine. These posttransla-tional reactions can permanently or temporarily modify the structure and function of the target proteins. Importantly, these modifications can expand the repertoire of the cellular chemistry performed by proteins. Unmodified proteins must function with only the 20 amino acid residues incorporated in ribosomal protein synthesis, while methylation reactions can create a variety of new types of residues for specialized cellular roles. At this point, we understand best the processes that reversibly form methyl esters at carboxylic acid residues. One such reaction in bacteria methylates glutamate residues on several membrane-bound chemorecep-tors whose signaling properties are modulated by the degree of modification at multiple methylation sites. Another methylation system in higher cells leads to C-terminal methyl ester formation on a variety of proteins such as the small and...
