Abinitio molecular orbital calculations are reported for several cyclic and acyclic sulfones. The geometries of XSO2Y, where X, Y = H, F, or CH3 are optimized at the STO-3G* level. Similar calculations are reported for the smallest cyclic sulfone, thiirane-1,1 -dioxide, as well as the corresponding sulfoxide, thiirane-1-oxide, and the parent sulfide, thiirane. Where comparison with experiment is possible, the agreement is satisfactory. In order to consider the possibility of substantial differences between axial and equatorial S—O bonds in the gas phase, as observed in the crystal structure of 5H,8H-dibenzo[d,f][1,2]-dithiocin-1,1-dioxide, STO-3G* calculations are reported for a six-membered ring, thiane-1,1-dioxide, and a model eight-membered ring. Limited geometry optimization of the axial and equatorial S—O bonds in the chair conformations of the six- and eight-membered rings leads to bond lengths of 1.46 Å with the difference being less than 0.01 Å.

The erm family of 23S rRNA adenine-N6-methyltransferases confers resistance to all macrolide-lincosamide-streptograminB (MLS) antibiotics, but not all MLS antibiotics induce synthesis of Erm methyltransferase with equal efficiency in a given organism. The induction efficiency of a test panel of MLS antibiotics was studied by using two translational attenuator-lac reporter gene fusion constructs, one based on ermSV from Streptomyces viridochromogenes NRRL 2860 and the other based on ermC from Staphylococcus aureus RN2442. Four types of responses which were correlated with the macrolide ring size were seen, as follows: group 1, both ermSV and ermC were induced by the 14-membered-ring macrolides erythromycin, lankamycin, and matromycin, as well as by the lincosamide celesticetin; group 2, neither ermSV nor ermC was induced by the 12-membered-ring macrolide methymycin or by the lincosamide lincomycin or the streptogramin type B antibiotic ostreogrycin B; group 3, ermSV was selectively induced over ermC by the 16-membered-ring macrolides carbomycin, chalcomycin, cirramycin, kitasamycin, maridomycin, and tylosin; and group 4, ermC was selectively induced over ermSV by the 14-membered-ring macrolide megalomicin. These data suggest that the leader peptide determines the specificity of induction by different classes of MLS antibiotics and that for a given attenuator, a major factor which determines whether a given macrolide induces resistance is its size.

A series of tetracoordinate spirocyclic silicates has been prepared from the reaction of a range of diols with tetraethoxysilane, Si ( OEt )4. The silicates can be converted into anionic pentacoordinate silicates by reaction with KOBut/18-crown-6 in toluene. Alternatively, the pentacoordinate spirocycles can be prepared directly without prior preparation of a tetracoordinate spiro silicate. 29Si n.m.r. studies have demonstrated that the chemical shifts are sensitive to both coordination number and ring size. Ring contributions to the 29Si chemical shifts are apparent for the five- membered ring spiro silicates, those for the pentcoordinate species being less than those for the tetracoordinate species. Acyclic and six- membered ring spiro silicates are virtually indistinguishable by 29Si n.m.r. spectroscopy, which demonstrates that no ring contribution to the chemical shift is apparent for this ring size.
