Reductive cleavage of the ozonides of aliphatic acids and their esters by sodium borohydride or by hydrogenation produces ω-hydroxy aliphatic acids and ω-hydroxy aliphatic esters, respectively, in high yields.

Ketones can be reduced with sulfurated sodium borohydride. Very high yield (≈90%) of the corresponding alcohol is obtained with the appropriate ratio of ketone and hydride at room temperature. The reaction is much influenced by the steric environment around the carbonyl group. At high temperature (65°) disulfides and tetrasulfides are produced. In some cases the structure of those sulfides have been established. Conjugated ketones can be reduced to the corresponding alcohols with very high yields.

Cyano(fluoren-9-yl)acetohydrazides cyclize readily under acid or basic conditions to give 3-amino-4-(9-substituted fluoren-9-yl)pyrazol-5(4H)- ones (3). Upon thermolysis of the hydrazides the pyrazolones and/or dimeric products are produced.��� The cyanoacetohydrazides condense with phthalic anhydride to give the 2-(fluoren-9-yl)-N-phthalimidoacetamides(7), whereas, with succinic anhydride, the open-chain compounds (10) are obtained which upon thermolysis afford the dimeric compounds (6). The acetamides (7) undergo unusual reductive cleavage with sodium borohydride affording the fluorenylpyrazolones (3). Electronic, infrared and N.M.R. spectra of the products are discussed.

Sulfurated sodium borohydride reacts with benzylic halides to give high yields of α-toluenethiol or benzylic polysulfldes depending upon the experimental conditions and the mode of hydrolysis.Aliphatic halides and dibenzylic halides react in the same manner as benzylic halides for a given experimental condition whereas benzylic halides substituted with other groups can be totally or partially reduced depending on the stability of the substituent towards NaBH2S3.Halogens directly attached on the aromatic ring do not react with NaBH2S3.

Photo-sensitized oxidation of the 6,7-dehydro ring-c aromatic diterpenoids (5), (8) and (38) affords high yields of the corresponding 5-ene-7-ones (62), (63) and (69). Similar oxygenation of 13-methoxy- totara-6,8,11,13-triene (21) gives a hydroperoxide (74) which undergoes a facile rearrangement to a naphthyl derivative (80) in the presence of acid. Photo-sensitized oxidation of the enol acetates derived from the 7-oxo diterpenoids, however, provides a general method for preparation of the corresponding 5-ene-7-one. Reduction of the enone (62) with lithium aluminium hydridealuminium chloride gives a mixture of the 5,8,11,13-tetraene (66) and the 6,8,11,13-tetraene (9) while reduction with sodium borohydride and treatment of the resulting alcohols (61) and (67) with acid gives a mixture of the tetraenes (5) and (68). Photo-oxygenation of the latter mixture provides a convenient method for isolating the tetraene (68). Similar reductions of 13-methoxytotara-5,8,11,13-tetraen-7-one (76) have been examined and products from the action of m-chloroperbenzoic acid on the enol acetates (19), (20) and (7) are reported.

Treatment of 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine-5′-aldehyde with the stabilized Wittig reagent, (p-toluenesulfonylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane, gave high yields of 1-[5,6-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-β-D-ribo-hex-5(E)-enofuranosyl]uracil (2). This vinylsulfone (2) underwent isomerization readily in base to give the allylic sulfone, 1-[5,6-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-β-D-erythro-hex-4(Z)-enofuranosyl]uracil (3). Treatment of 2 or 3 with aqueous trifluoroacetic acid gave the corresponding deprotected vinyl (5) or allylic (6) sulfones, and 5 was converted to 6 readily in basic solutions. Treatment of 2 with sodium borohydride, sodium thiomethoxide, or ammonia resulted in conjugate addition (at C5′ of the vinyl sulfone) to give the 5′-hydro, 5′-methylthio, or 5′-amino-5′,6′-dideoxy-6′-(p-toluenesulfonyl) nucleosides. The 5′-substituted diastereomers were deprotected, separated, and the configuration of a 5′-amino derivative was established by X-ray crystallography.Key words: allylic sulfones, amino-nucleosides, 5′,6′-dideoxynucleosides, nucleosides, uridine, vinyl sulfones.
