Three mono-O-isopropylidene derivatives of methyl β-D-glucoseptanoside have been prepared by acid-catalysed hydrolysis of methyl 2,3 : 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-glucoseptanoside or by acetonation of methyl β-D-glucoseptanoside. Two of these derivatives have been used for the preparation of methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-L-idoseptanoside (8a) and methyl 3,4-O-isopropylidene-α-L-idoseptanoside (10a). Hydrolysis of (10a) yielded methyl α-L-idoseptanoside (12a) and acetonation of (8a) and (12a) yielded methyl 2,3 : 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-α-L-idoseptanoside. Possible conformations of these compounds are discussed.

Oxidation of 1,2: 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranose (2) with ruthenium tetroxide affords crystalline 1,2: 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-erythro-hexopyranos-2,3-diulose (3) in high yield. The latter, on reduction with metal hydrides or on catalytic hydrogenation over platinum, yields 1,2: 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-allulopyranose (4) as virtually the sole product. By contrast, sodium amalgam reduction of 3 yields only the D-fructose derivative (2), although in low yield. Also, metal hydride reduction of impure 3, obtained by oxidation of 2 with dimethyl sulfoxide – acetic anhydride, yields equal amounts of both isomers (2 and 4). The stereochemistry of these reductions is complicated by uncertainty as to the conformation of 4 (and possibly of 2), owing to anomalous proton magnetic resonance spectral characteristics observed.Ketone 3, which is unstable in the presence of deuteroxide ion, is smoothly deuterated at C-4 by exchange in hot deuterium oxide – pyridine.Mono-O-isopropylidene derivatives have been prepared by partial acid hydrolysis of 2 and 4.

Background:: This article concentrates on the processes occurring in the medium around the cancer cell and the transfer of glycoside amides through their cell membrane. They are obtained by modification of natural glycoside-nitriles (cyano-glycosides). Hydrolysis of starting materials in the blood medium and associated volume around physiologically active healthy and cancer cells, based on quantum-chemical semi-empirical methods, is considered. Objective:: Based on the fact that the cancer cell feeds primarily on carbohydrates, it is likely that organisms have adapted to take food containing nitrile glycosides and / or modified forms to counteract "external" bioactive activity. Cancers, for their part, have evolved to create conditions around their cells that eliminate their active apoptotic forms. This is far more appropriate for them than changing their entire enzyme regulation to counteract it. In this way, it protects itself and the gene sets and develops according to its instructions. Methods:: Derived pedestal that closely defines the processes of hydrolysis in the blood, the transfer of a specific molecular hydrolytic form to the cancer cell membrane and with the help of time-dependent density-functional quantum- chemical methods, its passage and the processes of re-hydrolysis within the cell itself, to forms causing chemical apoptosis of the cell - independent of its non-genetic set, which seeks to counteract the process. Results:: Used in oncology it could turn a cancer from a lethal to a chronic disease (such as diabetes). The causative agent and conditions for the development of the disease are not eliminated, but the amount of cancer cells could be kept low for a long time (even a lifetime). Conclusion:: The amide derivatives of nitrile glycosides exhibit anti-cancer activity, the cancer cell probably seeks to displace hydrolysis of these derivatives in a direction that would not pass through its cell membrane and the amide- carboxyl derivatives of nitrile glycosides could deliver extremely toxic compounds within the cancer cell itself and thus block and / or permanently damage its normal physiology.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.

A new series of amino acid derivatives of quinolines was synthesized through the hydrolysis of amino acid methyl esters of quinoline carboxamides with alkali hydroxide. The compounds were purified on silica gel by column chromatography and further characterized by TLC, NMR and ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. All compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains using the microdilution method. Most of the synthesized amino acid-quinolines show more potent or equipotent inhibitory action against the tested bacteria than their correspond esters. In addition, many of them exhibit fluorescent properties and could possibly be utilized as fluorophores. Molecular docking and simulation studies of the compounds at putative bacterial target enzymes suggest that the antimicrobial potency of these synthesized analogues could be due to enzyme inhibition via their favorable binding at the fluoroquinolone binding site at the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase and/or the ParC subunit of topoisomerase-IV.

Khapli wheat leaves contain a very small quantity of a trihydroxydimethoxyflavone, tricin. Marquis yields a trace of the same compound. These two varieties also contain water-soluble coloring matters which are apparently glucosides of tricin or of a closely related compound. Dyeing tests carried out with six other wheat varieties indicate that all contain essentially the same coloring matters.Methylation of tricin and hydrolysis of the resulting O-trimethyltricin yielded 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone. It was therefore assumed that tricetin, the pentahydroxyflavone derived from tricin, was 5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentahydroxyflavone. This was synthesized from 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and phloracetophenone by the Allan-Robinson method. Mixed melting-point determinations showed that its O-pentamethyl and O-penta-acetyl derivatives are identical with the corresponding derivatives of tricetin. The dyeing properties and color reactions of synthetic and natural tricetin are identical and are in fair agreement with those described by Badhwar, Kang and Ventkataraman (3, p. 1111) who recently reported the synthesis of the same compound.
