Ring System Data

The most important displayable field for ring analysis is the field Ring System Data (RSD). The following example of azacubane shows this RSD DISPLAY field s potential (Fig. 94).

Although many sterols and bile acids were isolated in the nineteenth century, it was not until the twentieth century that the stmcture of the steroid nucleus was first elucidated (5). X-ray crystallographic data first suggested that the steroid nucleus was a thin, lath-shaped stmcture (6). This perhydro-l,2-cyclopentenophenanthrene ring system was eventually confirmed by the identification of the Diels hydrocarbon [549-88-2] (4) and by the total synthesis of equilenin [517-09-9] (5) (7). 

Garbapenem P-Lactamase Inhibitors. Carbapenems are another class of natural product P-lactamase inhibitors discovered about the same time as clavulanic acid. Over forty naturally occurring carbapenems have been identified many are potent P-lactamase inhibitors. Garbapenem is the trivial name for the l-a2abicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene ring system (21) shown in Table 3. The synthesis (74), biosynthesis (75), and P-lactamase inhibitory properties (13,14,66) of carbapenems have been reviewed. Carbapenems are often more potent than clavulanic acid and include type I Cephases in the spectmm of inhibition. Table 3 Hsts the available P-lactamase inhibition data. Synergy is frequendy difficult to demonstrate because the compounds are often potent antibacterials. 

Penem B-Lactamase Inhibitors. The synthesis and antibacterial properties of penems, the trivial name for the 4-thia-l-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene ring system (24), have been reviewed (107,108). Like the closely related carbapenems, many of the penems are potent antibacterials. Additionally, penems are also susceptible to degradation by renal dipeptidase, but to a lesser extent. The limited -lactamase inhibitory data available for penems are presented in Table 4. SCH-29,482 [77646-83-4] (24, R = H, R = CH(OH)CH2, R = SCH2H ), C2qH23NO S2, is reported to be an inhibitor of type I Cephases and the OXA-2 enzyme (109). Compounds [101803-54-7] and [101914-68-5] (24, R = H, R = CH2CH(OH),... 

A large amount of data are available on the C spectra of saturated six-membered ring systems. The subject has been reviewed in detail by Eliel and Pietrusziewicz (79MI20101). 

The reactivity sequence furan > tellurophene > selenophene > thiophene is thus the same for all three reactions and is in the reverse order of the aromaticities of the ring systems assessed by a number of different criteria. The relative rate for the trifluoroacetylation of pyrrole is 5.3 x lo . It is interesting to note that AT-methylpyrrole is approximately twice as reactive to trifluoroacetylation as pyrrole itself. The enhanced reactivity of pyrrole compared with the other monocyclic systems is also demonstrated by the relative rates of bromination of the 2-methoxycarbonyl derivatives, which gave the reactivity sequence pyrrole>furan > selenophene > thiophene, and by the rate data on the reaction of the iron tricarbonyl-complexed carbocation [C6H7Fe(CO)3] (35) with a further selection of heteroaromatic substrates (Scheme 5). The comparative rates of reaction from this substitution were 2-methylindole == AT-methylindole>indole > pyrrole > furan > thiophene (73CC540). 

The spectrochemical data on 1,2- and 2,1-benzisoxazoles were reviewed in 1962 and reported on in greater detail in 1967 62HC(l7)l,p. 159, 62HC(17)l, p. 213, 67AHC(8)277). These reviews discuss tt-electron densities, bond order calculations and dipole moment studies for these ring systems. 

X-Ray structural data and recent high level theoretical calculations confirm that this neutral, diamagnetic dithiadiazole is an aromatic six k-electron ring system. The gas-phase infra-red and photoelectron spectra of S2N2CO have also been reported. ... 

ArNSNSAr from a mixture of ArNSNAr and Ar SNSNSAr. The limited data available indicate the occurrence of transformations analogous to the ring expansion or ring contraction processes observed for S-N ring systems. 

The influence of other groups in a pyridine or similar ring system is more difficult to assess because no kinetic data are available. The deactivating effect of the bromine atom in the 2-position is greater than that in the 3-position, while 2,6-dibromopyridine is very slow to react with dimethyl sulfate. Esters, amides, and nitriles of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids undergo fairly easy quaternization at about... 

The original objective of the synthetic work was the preparation of basic derivatives of the 3,1,4-benzoxadiazepine system (2) for animal testing. The basic ring system had been reported previously in the literature as the dehydration products of 2-acylaminobenzophenone oximes (1). Repetition of the work quickly cast doubt on the earlier structural assignment. Both the chemistry of the products and their spectral data suggested that the products were in fact quinazoline-3-oxides (3). ...
