Monobromination of 5α-lanost-8-en-3-one (la) under kinetic conditions gave exclusively the 2β- bromo ketone (3a) whilst under equilibrium conditions the product contained 85% of the 2α-bromo ketone (2a). Monobromination of 5a-lanost-8-ene-3,7,11-trione (1b) under kinetic conditions gave the 2a-bromo ketone (2b); 33% of the 2β-bromo ketone (3b) was formed under equilibrium conditions. The configuration assigned to the bromo ketones (2b) and (3b) has been confirmed by reduction with sodium borohydride and treatment of the derived bromohydrins (4b) and (6b) with base to give the 2β,3β-epoxide (5b) and the 3-ketone (1b) respectively. Cleavage of the 2β,3β(-epoxide (5a) with acetic acid gave 2α-acetoxy-5α-lanost-8-en-3β-ol (7) as the major product and 3α-acetoxy-5α-lanost- 8-en-2β-ol (a), in a boat like conformation, as the minor product.

Abstract 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid is prepared from folic acid by sodium borohydride reduction, reac­ tion with formaldehyde and reduction to the methyl derivative by sodium borohydride. The crude product is precipitated as barium salt which after having been converted to the sodium salt by ion exchange is adsorbed to QAE-Sephadex and eluted by different acetic acid gradients in subsequent chromatographies. This method allows to process gram quantities on reasonably small columns

Bridged steroids with a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ring A system are formed on thermolysis of 5-vinyl 3-keto steroids. 5-Vinyl-5α-cholestan-3-one (26) on being heated at 350 °C in decalin gave 2α,5-(syn-methylmethano)-5α-cholestan-3-one (27). Similar treatment of 17β-hydroxy-5-vinyl-5β-estran-3-one (21) gave 17β-hydroxy-2β,5-(syn-methylmethano)-5β -estran-3-one (30), which was also obtained by reduction of 2β,5-(syn-methylmethano)-5β-estrane-3,17-dione (31) with sodium borohydride on alumina. Compound 31 was formed as the major product on thermolysis of 5-vinyl-5β-estrane-3,17-dione (24) at 350 °C, together with 5-(trans-propenyl)-A-nor-5β-estrane-3,17-dione (32). Compounds 27, 30, and 31 are considered to arise via intramolecular ene reactions of the Δ2-enols of compounds 26, 21, and 24, respectively. Compound 32 is postulated to be formed via an analogous reaction of the Δ3-enol of 24, followed by thermolysis of the resulting 3′-methyl-4β,5-dihydrocyclopropa[4,5]-5β-estrane-3,17-dione (36). Photolysis of 30 in methanol results in α-cleavage of the C2—C3 bond and the formation of a ketene-derived ester and two enal-derived oxetanes.

N-(2-Pyridyl)-2-chloroacetamide reacted with 1-methylpiperazine and gave the expected compound III. Attempts at preparing the N-substituted N-(2-pyridyl)-2-chloroacetamides by reactions of N-substituted 2-aminopyridines with chloroacetyl chloride in benzene in the presence of N,N-dimethylacetamide were negative and took an unexpected course. 2-Anilinopyridine and 2-(cyclohexylamino)pyridine afforded compounds which were identified by 1H and 13C NMR spectra as the heterocyclic betaines IVa and IVb. 2-(1-Butylamino)pyridine, 2-(benzylamino)pyridine and 2-(2-phenylethylamino)pyridine gave similarly compounds IVc-IVe. The chloromethyl compounds IVa-IVe underwent normal substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine and gave the methylpiperazino compounds Va-Ve. Attempts to reduce the betaines with sodium borohydride in aqueous ethanol proceeded in one case as the hydrogenolytic displacement of the chlorine atom with hydrogen (product VIa), in another case as ethanolysis (product VIIb). Formation of VIb by treatment of IVb with hydrogen bromide in boiling acetic acid is probably the result of a disproportionation reaction. Compound III (dimaleate VÚFB-17 103) was practically equipotent with pirenzepine (I) as an anti-ulcer agent in the test of indomethacine-induced gastric lesions in rats but was much weaker in tests for antocholinergic and antisecretory activity.

4-(2-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-pyrazolin-5-ones (I) were best prepared by heating o-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-pyrazolin-5-ones in acetic anhydride containing fused sodium acetate (cf. Erlenmeyer azlactone synthesis). Pyrazolones of type I were reductively cyclized with cyclohexene and palladium–charcoal, and gave 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinolines (II) which, as expected, were amphoteric compounds. Of the three other methods of reduction used in this study, two (zinc and acetic acid; sodium borohydride and palladium–charcoal) were capable of producing pyrazoloquinolines, but were less reliable. The other method employed (hydrazine hydrate and palladium–charcoal) caused degradation of the pyrazolone molecule in the two cases examined, and in both, bis(2-aminobenzylidene) hydrazine (V) was the reduction product isolated.

Hydrogenation of p-tolil monoazine (1b) over palladium-on-charcoal gives as the major product 4,5-dihydro-5-(p-toluyl)-3,4,5-tri-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-ol (2b), which has previously been obtained by treatment of 1b with sodium methoxide. Several minor products are formed, which include p-tolualdehyde, p-toluic acid, and p-toluamide, p-tolunitrile, p-tolualazine, and 3,4,5-tri-(p-tolyl)-4H-pyrazo-4-ol (9). The structure of the last compound, which is also formed on reduction of 1b with sodium borohydride, was established by its independent synthesis from 1,2,3-tri-(p-tolyl)-1,3-propanedione by oxidation with lead tetraacetate followed by treatment with hydrazine. It is suggested that 2b arises via reduction of a C=N bond of 1b and aldol ring closure. The minor hydrogenation products are of interest in that their formation involves C—C hydrogenolysis; it is suggested that this is initiated by addition of a hydrogen atom to a carbonyl carbon atom of 1b.

Several syntheses of the previously unknown 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid and various 5- and 6-substituted derivatives thereof have been devised. Some of these processes have been extended to the heretofore unreported 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-9-carboxylic acid derivatives.Two new processes were developed for the conversion of pyrroles into the corresponding pyrrol-2-acetic acid esters. Both processes were based on the use of the readily available ethoxalylpyrrole derivatives as the starting material. One sequence involved saponification of the α-keto ester, followed by Wolff–Kishner reduction of the crude α-keto acid salt and subsequent esterification of the acetic acid derivative thus produced. The second synthesis commenced with reduction of the 2-ethoxalpyrrole with sodium borohydride to the α-hydroxy ester, which was further reduced to the acetic acid ester with an equimolar mixture of triphenylphosphine and triphenylphosphine diiodide.
