Benzenesulfenyl chloride adds diaxially to 5α-cholest-2-ene (1) yielding 2β-chloro-3α-(phenylthio)-5α-cholestane (3). Assuming that the reaction proceeds via the episulfonium ion (2), this allows the inclusion of these species within the scope of the diaxial opening rule. On heating, 3 undergoes rearrangement to 3β-chloro-2α-(phenylthio)-5α-cholestane (4). This reaction is the first instance of a diaxial → diequatorial rearrangement of β-halothioethers.Mild oxidation of 3 gives a mixture of the two sulfoxides epimeric at the sulfur atom (16a and 16b). On heating, both sulfoxides suffer pyrolytic elimination, without any sign of diaxial → diequatorial rearrangement. A major product of the elimination, evidently 2-chloro-5α-cholest-2-ene (18), was found to be formed a little more readily from the S-sulfoxide (16b) than from the R-isomer (16a). This observation is in accord with the conclusion of previous investigators that the elimination of the sulfenic acid from an alkyl sulfoxide involves bond formation between the hydrogen and sulfinyl oxygen during the rate determining stage (cf. 19).

Dialkoxytitanacyclopropane intermediates [or titanium (II)-olefin complexes] generated in situ from ethylmagnesium bromide and titanium (IV) isopropoxide react with allylic alcohols and allylic ethers to afford SN2' allylic ethylation products. The reaction proceeds with high regioselectivity and with low to high trans-/cis-stereoselectivity. This observation and others suggest a reaction mechanism involving an EtMgBr-initiated formation of titanacyclopentane ate complex 10 from titanacyclopropane-olefin complex 7 as a key step. Based on this assumption, a modified mechanism of titanium-mediated cyclopropanation of esters with Grignard reagents is proposed.

A detailed computational study is presented on the reaction mechanism of ynamide-mediated condensation of carboxylic acids with amines to produce amides, which elucidates the reactivity pattern of the coupling reagent ynamide and discloses crucial bifunctional catalytic effects of the carboxylic acid substrate during aminolysis.


Reactions of nucleophiles with triosmium carbonyl clusters, especially those containing unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands, are discussed. Attack may be at CO, the metal atoms, at carbon of the organic ligand, or, where there are acidic metal-bound hydrogen atoms, deprotonation to give anionic clusters may occur. New results on the reactions of LiBHEt3 with p3-alkyne clusters of type Os3(CO)10 (RC2R') are considered in the light of the range of possible sites of attack. Protonation of anionic species that are formed gives hydrogenation products with or without the loss of CO. Os3H2(CO)9(RC2R') is usually a minor product, while C-C coupling leads to Os3H(CO)9(CRCR'COH) (in general the major product) and to Os3H(CO)9- (CRCR'CH). With terminal alkynes RC2H H-atom transfer accompanies C-C coupling to give Os3H(CO)9(RC—C =C H 2) in substantial amounts. The initial site of hydride attack (CO, alkyne or metal) is considered in the context of low-temperature 1H n.m.r. results.

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the nine-membered ring cyclic vinyl ether, oxacyclonon-2,8-diene, occurs with a normal isotope effect, [Formula: see text], which indicates that this reaction proceeds by the conventional vinyl ether hydrolysis mechanism involving rate-determining proton transfer to carbon. The specific rate of this reaction, [Formula: see text], may then be used to show that there is no significant ring-size effect on the rate of hydrolysis of a vinyl ether group in a nine-membered ring. The previously noted unusually great reactivity of the vinyl ether group in 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, for which an unorthodox reaction mechanism has been claimed, must therefore be due to some other cause.

AbstractFor the first time, carborane complexes containing a B(4)–S bond were obtained directly by heating mononuclear Pd-B(4)-bound carborane complexes. A possible mechanism involved in sulfur atom migration is presented in which the leaving group, pyridine, benzyl isocyanide or PPh3, is demonstrated to be the trigger of the reaction process. In this work, efficient routes are developed through one-pot reactions to prepare B(4)-S carborane derivatives.

The theoretical mechanism of the interaction of 1,3-dichloropropene with 1,2- ethanedithiol in the system "hydrazine hydrate-KOH" has been proposed by the method of B3LYP / 6- 311 ++ G (d, p) in the framework of the theory of the electron-density functional according to which the reaction proceeds successively in several stages, including the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom present in the sp3-hybridized carbon atom with a sulfur atom to form a mono-substitution product that undergoes a prototropic allylic rearrangement that migrates the double bond to the sulfur atom, followed by closure in the dithiolane cycle due to the nucleophilic attack of the sulfide anion of the second thiol group of the reagent per carbon atom located in the γ-position with respect to the second chlorine atom.

Drug interactions can have desired, reduced or unwanted effects. The probability of interactions increases with the number of drugs taken. Side effects or therapeutic drug interactions can increase or decrease the effects of one or two drugs. Failure may result from clinically meaningful interactions. Clinicians rarely use foreseeable drug-drug interactions to produce the desired therapeutic effect. For example, when we consider two drugs each causing, peripheral neuropathy increases the likelihood of neuropathy occurrence. In this study geometry optimizations of tigecycline and sulbactam drugs and their combination have been carried out with the evaluation of B3LYP/6-311G (d, p), B3LYP/6-311G (2d, 2p) levels, and the reaction mechanism at semi empirical PM6, which was parameterized for biochemical systems and B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) levels. The main objective of the study is to understand the interaction ofsulbactam with tigecycline, to describe energetic condition of bond formation and electronic structure (orders of the broken and formed bonds). The reaction mechanisms of sulbactam with tigecycline have been studied as stepwise and concerted mechanisms using semi-empircal PM6 and B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) levels.
