Experiments with intact callus cultures of Andrographispaniculata and a derived cell-free system have established that: (1) the biosynthesised γ-bisabolene has the Z-configuration 6; (2) the biosynthetic intermediate is a 6-trans-13 and not a 6-cis-15 farnesyl pyrophosphate; (3) in paniculide B 17, and probably also in γ-bisabolene 14, the ring carbon derived from C-2 of mevalonate is anti to the side chain; (4) mevalonolactone and trans,trans-famesyl pyrophosphate are incorporated into γ-bisabolene without hydrogen loss respectively from C-5 and C-1; cyclisation to the bisabolenyl cation therefore does not involve prior trans to cis isomerisation of the terminal double bond of farnesol by a redox mechanism; (5) taken together with our previous findings, it is established that Andrographis cultures contain two independently functioning enzymes: (i) a trans,trans- to cis,trans-farnesol isomerase, and (ii) a trans,trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate isomerase-cyclase. The absolute configuration of paniculide B has been established by an X-ray cristallographic analysis of its bis-p-bromobenzoate.

The structure and absolute configuration of a bisepoxide (2) produced by oxidation of tetraacetylsecologanin dimethyl acetal (1) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid have been established by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Epoxidation of the vinyl side chain is unexceptional; epoxidation of the β-alkoxyacrylate moiety is novel. This determination represents a valuable bench mark for configurational assignments, since the bisepoxide has been correlated by chemical transformations with a number of synthetic and naturally-occurring derivatives of secologanin.

The chiral title compound, C19H32O2, contains a [4.3.0]-bicyclic moiety in which the shared C—C bond presents atransconfiguration and a side chain in which the C=C double bond shows anEconformation. The conformations of five- and six-membered rings are envelope (with the bridgehead atom bearing the methyl substituent as the flap) and chair, respectively, with a dihedral angle of 4.08 (17)° between the idealized planes of the rings. In the crystal, the molecules are self-assembledviaclassical O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [112]; these chains are linked by weak non-classical C—H...O hydrogen bonds, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to (010). The absolute configuration was established according to the configuration of the starting material.

Aim and Objective: Pyrazolone sulfones have been reported to exhibit herbicidal and antibacterial activities. In spite of their good bioactivities, only a few methods have been developed to prepare pyrazolone sulfones. However, the substrate scope of these methods is limited. Moreover, the direct sulfonylation of pyrazolone by aryl sulfonyl chloride failed to give pyrazolone sulfones. Thus, developing a more efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones is very important. Materials and Method: Pyrazolone, aryl sulphonyl hydrazide, iodine, p-toluenesulphonic acid and water were mixed in a sealed tube, which was heated to 100°C for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and m-CPBA was added in batches. The mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min at room temperature. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford sulfuryl pyrazolone. Results: In all cases, the sulfenylation products were formed smoothly under the optimized reaction conditions, and were then oxidized to the corresponding sulfones in good yields by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in water. Single crystal X-ray analysis of pyrazolone sulfone 4aa showed that the major tautomer of pyrazolone sulfones was the amide form instead of the enol form observed for pyrazolone thioethers. Moreover, the C=N double bond isomerized to form an α,β-unsaturated C=C double bond. Conclusion: An efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone thioethers by iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones with aryl sulfonyl hydrazides in water was developed. Moreover, this method was employed to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones in one-pot by subsequent sulfenylation and oxidation reactions.

Background: Vietnam currently imports up to 90% of the pharmaceuticals it consumes and 100% of the steroid-based pharmaceuticals. The ability for efficient chemical synthesis of the steroids could create commercial opportunities to address this issue. Synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)- triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione is considered a key intermediate in the scheme of steroidal drug synthesis. Previous synthesis attempts of such steroids (corticoids) introduce a double bond at C-1(2) in the final stage of synthesis, which delivers a poor yield and reduces the economic efficiency of the process. Objective: To study and develop a novel and effective method for the synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna- 1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione. Methods: Using 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione as a substrate chemical synthesis was performed as follows: pregnane side chain construction at C-17 (acetylene method), introduction of C-1(2) double bond (using SeO2), epimerization of C-17 (via 17-ONO2 ester) and Stork’s iodination. Results: 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione was prepared from 9α- hydroxyandrostenedione with an improved yield compared to previous attempts. Conclusion: Here, 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione has been synthesized from 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione based on a novel, effective and commercially feasible scheme. The introduction of the C-1(2) double bond at an earlier stage of the synthesis has increased the economic efficiency of the entire process. For the first time, the indirect epimerization mechanism has been clarified along with the configuration of the C-17 stereo-center which has been confirmed using NOESY data.

Derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholane-20,24-diol XI and XIX were prepared by stepwise construction of the side-chain in the position 17β. Their absolute configuration at C(20) was determined on the basis of chemical correlation with the derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ol, XVI and XXIV. The absolute configuration of alcohols XVI and XXIV was determined from the ratio of the yields in which they are formed during the reduction of ketone X and using the benzoate rule. To compounds XI-XVIII the configuration 20R and to compounds XIX-XXVI the configuration 20S has been assigned.

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.

Configuration on the C=N double bond of amidines and amidoximes is controlled by steric effects on the second nitrogen atom but there is a difference in the case of N’-monosubstituted derivatives: amidines prefer E configuration (conformation around the C-N bond sp) and amidoximes Z configuration (conformation ap). This was confirmed by the X-ray structures of two analogous model compounds N,N’-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzamidine (monoclinic, P21c, a = 10.855(3), b = 11.043(3), c = 8.593(3) Å, β = 105.69(2)°, V = 991.8(5) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.29 g cm-3, CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ = 7.91 cm-1, F(000) = 408, T = 291 K, R = 0.065 for 1 265 observed reflections) and N’-methyl-4-nitrobenzamidoxime (monoclinic, P21/a, a = 6.699(2), b = 24.178(9), c = 6.075(2) Å, β = 106.20(3)°, V = 944.9(6) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.37 g cm-3, CuKα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ =9.22 cm-1, F(000) = 408, T = 291 K, R = 0.079 for 1 278 observed reflections).
