Cyclonucleosides which are fixed in a specific conformation around the glycosyl bond by a carbon and heteroatom chain constitute a unique category of nucleoside derivatives. Because they are structural analogs, cyclonucleosides and oligodeoxynucleotides containing them would be useful tools for investigating the biological functions and conformations of DNA, RNA as well as their steric interactions with proteins. C-Cyclonucleosides bridged by a carbon chain between the base and sugar moieties are the most attractive from the synthetic points of view as well as for use as biological tools. In this review, recent progress of the synthesis of C-cyclonucleosides is surveyed. Among the C-cyclonucleosides, 5′,8-C-cyclodeoxyadenosine is one of the well-known derivatives of which the first practical synthesis was reported over 30 years ago. Recently, 5′,8-C-cyclodeoxyadenosine has attracted considerable interest as a biomarker, since its formation in oxidatively-damaged DNA is considered to be related to various diseases and aging. Another important analogue of cyclonucleosides is a unique thymidine phosphate dimer, a so-called spore photoproduct, which has been found in photo-damaged DNA. Recent advances in the synthesis, mechanism-studies, and stereochemical preference of repairing enzymes related to 5′,8-C-cyclodeoxyadenosine and spore photoproducts are also reviewed.

The σ-bond cross-exchange reaction, which involves cleavage and subsequent exchange between different nonpolar σ-bonds, constitutes an attractive protocol for rapid access to organic skeletons with 100% atom economy. Herein, we give a brief summary of recent achievements in this approach for the synthesis of diverse silacycles, highlighting our recent advances in the first intermolecular σ-bond exchange between C–C bonds of cyclopropenones and C–Si bonds of (benzo)silacyclobutanes.1 Introduction2 σ-Bond Exchange-Reaction of Benzocyclobutanones to Silacycles3 σ-Bond Exchange-Reaction of Ethyl Cyclopropylideneacetates to Silacycles4 σ-Bond Exchange-Reaction of Cyclopropenones to Silacycles5 Conclusion

Based on the unsaturated derivatives of polyfluoroalkanols chemical products are used to protect solid and fibrous materials surface from the effects of water, oils and other pollutants. A method for obtaining allyl ethers of polyfluoroalkanols (polyfluoroalkoxypropenes) is based on the Williamson ether reaction. This method is a heterophase process. The use of solvents to improve mass transfer requires complementary measures to ensure industrial and environmental safety. It is more preferable to obtain the target ethers in water with PTC. A series of experiments using different chain length polyfluoroalkanols was studied by GLC. Kovats retention indexes of the target ethers were determined. It was found that in the case of lower homologues (CF3CH2OH, (CF3)2CHOH, HCF2CF2CH2OH), the addition of 5-15 vol.% 1,4-dioxane as a solubilizer provides a high yield of products. The application of PTC (tetrabutylammonium bromide) is indispensable for using polyfluoroalkanols with a longer carbon chain (C≥5). PTC invariably provides the almost complete conversion of polyfluoroalkanols. The decomposition process of TBAB becomes noticeable (GLC method) upon completion of the main reaction. Polyfluoroalkoxypropenes form azeotrope with water, which can be used in the work up process.
