Reduction of diethyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-DL-tartrate (II) with lithium aluminium hydride afforded 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-threo-4,5-dimethanol (III) which was transformed to the monotosyl derivative VI. Reaction of this compound with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic deblocking, gave 9-(DL)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (IX). Analogously, 9-(DL)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (XVII) was prepared from diethyl meso-tartrate (XI) via the diol XIII and the tosyl derivative XV. 1,3-O-Benzylidene-D-threitol (D-XVIII) was converted successively into the 4-O-tosyl derivative XIX and the 2-O-benzoyl-4-O-tosyl derivative XX. Reaction of the compound XX with sodium salt of adenine, followed by removal of the protecting groups in the intermediate XXI, afforded 9-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XXII); analogously, 1,3-O-benzylidene-L-threitol (L-XVIII) was transformed into the 9-(L)-threo-derivative L-XXII. The D-threo-derivative D-XXII was prepared also from 5-O-tosyl-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranoside (XXIII) or from 3-O-benzyl derivative XXIX by condensation with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic hydrolysis, degradation of the 1,2-diol grouping by sodium periodate and sodium borohydride, and methanolysis or hydrogenolysis. An analogous procedure was used for preparation of 1-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)uracil (D-XXVII). Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-benzoyl-6-tosyl-D-mannofuranoside (XXXVI) was transformed to the 5-(adenin-9-yl) derivative XXXVII which after hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring, followed by cleavage of the cis-diol with sodium periodate, reduction with sodium borohydride and methanolysis, afforded 9-(D)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XL). The L-enantiomer (L-XL) was obtained from 5-O-(adenin-9-yl)-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-L-arabinofuranoside (XXXIIIb) by acidic cleavage, degradation of the intermediate XXXIV with periodate and methanolysis.

Reaction of sodium salt of adenine with 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-β-D-galactopyranose (I) afforded 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6:2,3-dianhydro-4-deoxy-β-D-mannopyranose (II) and 2,4-bis(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (IV). Compound II was converted into 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-4-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (VI). Cleavage of the 1,6-anhydro bond in this compound with hot concentrated hydrochloric acid led to 4-(adenin-9-yl)-4-deoxy-D-glucose (VIII) which was reduced with sodium borohydride to give 4-(adenin-9-yl)-4-deoxy-D-glucitol (IX). Epoxide II was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride and the obtained 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-arabinohexopyranose (VII) on treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride gave 4-(adenin-9-yl)-2,4-dideoxy-D-arabino-hexitol (XI).

Treatment of cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triyl tris(p-toluenesulphonate) with sodium azide in dimethyl-formamide at 100� for 6 h gave the corresponding cis,cis-triazide which upon hydrogenation or reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triamine, isolated as the tris-salicylidene derivative. Acid hydrolysis of this, removal of the salicylaldehyde, and treatment of the aqueous solution with sodium carbonate and 2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride gave r-1,c-5,c- 9-tris(2,3-dimethoxybenzamido)cyclododecane. ��� Treatment of (E,E,E)-cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene with an excess of acetonitrile and sulphuric acid at room temperature for three days gave 18% of (E,E)-1-acetamidocyclododeca-4,8-diene; no di- or tri-amides were isolated.

2'-Hydroxychalcones and α-alkoxy-2'-hydroxychalcones are converted by sodium borohydride in isopropanol into flav-3-enes and 3-alkoxyflav-3-enes in the convenient new synthesis which makes these flavenes readily available. Catalytic reduction of the flavenes gives the corresponding flavans or 3-alkoxyflavans in high yield, and the latter are obtained mainly in the 2,s-cis-form. The flavenes immediately give flavs lium cations in the cold when treated with acids in air, and oxidation of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflav-3-ene with benzoquinone in an acidic medium gave the flavylium salt, isolated as the ferrichloride. Reduction of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flavylium chloride with lithium aluminium hydride gave 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flav-2-ene identical with the flavene obtained from (-)-epicatechin tetramethyl ether, and confirms an earlier investigation by Gramshaw, Johnson, and King. In its N.M.R. spectrum the heterocyclic-ring protons of this flav-2-ene give an ABX multiplet which is easily distinguished from the ABX multiplet at much lower field characteristic of flav-3-enes.

Heating of 1-(2-iodobenzoyl)-4-methylpiperazine (II) with thiophenol and its 2-methyl, 4-methyl, 4-chloro and 2-hydroxymethyl derivatives in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate, copper and cuprous iodide gave the piperazides IV-VIII; compound VIII was transformed by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride to the title compound I. The acid IX, obtained by a reaction of 5-chloro-2-iodobenzoic acid with 2-methylthiophenol, was reduced to the alcohol X, which was transformed via the chloride XI to 1-[5-chloro-2-(2-methylphenylthio)-benzyl]-4-methylpiperazine (XII), an open model of the neuroleptic agent clorothepin. Heating of 2,5-dichloroacetophenone with thiosalicylic acid afforded the keto acid XIII whose reaction with 1-methylpiperazine was carried out with the help of N,N"-carbonyldiimidazole. The piperazide XIV obtained was reduced on the one hand with sodium borohydride to the secondary alcohol XV, and with lithium aluminium hydride to 1-(2-[4-chloro-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenylthio]benzyl)-4-methylpiperazine (XVI) on the other. None of the dibasic piperazines (I, XII, XVI) did show antireserpine activity. In the general screening, some of the piperazides displayed a mild hypotensive (II, VIII, XIV, XV), adrenolytic (VIII), mild stimulating and antitussic (V), and spasmolytic, antiinflammatory and negatively ino- and chronotropic (XIV) activities.

Reaction of all stereoisomeric 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ols I-IV with lithium aluminium hydride and reduction of 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ones XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride were studied. It was found that reductive opening of the 5β,6β-epoxide ring occured only in the case of the derivatives III and IV due to 5(O)n participation of the 3α-oxygen-containing substituent under formation of the transannular 3α,5α-epoxides VIII and IX, resp. On reduction of the 4a-keto epoxides XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride the trans-epoxy alcohols III and I were formed. On the basis of 1H NMR data the conformation of the A-ring in the epoxides I-IV, XXII, and XXIII is also discussed.

Partially resolved enantiomers of optically active alcohols I-V, obtained by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones with lithium aluminium hydride in the presence of (-)-quinine, were converted into crystalline 3,5-dinitrobenzoates or phenylcarbamates. The esters of the nearly optically pure enantiomers were separated by crystallization from the generally more soluble esters of the racemates. Optical purity of the hydrolytically liberated alcohols was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral shifting agents.

Lithium aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride reduced 1-thiaflavanone, 6-methyl-1-thiaflavanone, and 4'-chloro-1-thiaflavanone to the corresponding 2,4-cis-1-thiaflavan-4-ols. Deamination of 2,4-cis-4-amino-1-thiaflavans with nitrous acid gave rise to the 2,4-trans-1-thiaflavan-4-ols. N.m.r. measurements were used to determine the stereochemistry of these compounds.
