4-Aza-6-nitrobenzofuroxan (ANBF) reacts with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and other CH acids to give carbon-bonded 1,4-adducts – 1,4-dihydropyridines fused with furoxan ring. In the case of most acidic β-diketones, which exist mainly in the enol form in polar solvents, the reactions proceed in the absence of any added base emphasizing the highly electrophilic character of ANBF. The resulting compounds combine in one molecule NO-donor furoxan ring along with a pharmacologically important 1,4-dihydropyridine fragment and therefore can be considered as prospective platforms for the design of pharmacology-oriented heterocyclic systems.

1,2-Dicyano esters show an absorption band around 245 mμ in alcoholic solutions which is not found in non-polar and other polar solvents. This anomalous behavior has been found to be due to the unusual solvent dependence of the equilibrium between the keto and enol forms. The intensity of the absorption band in alcoholic solutions decreases with increase in concentration of the 1,2-dicyano ester, indicating association of the enol form. The keto–enol equilibrium is also found to be sensitive to the substituent R of the alcohol ROH.

The tautomerism of some N1- and N1,N2-substituted pyrazolidine-3,5-diones has been studied by N.M.R. spectroscopy. The diketo form is the only unambiguously detectable tautomer of N-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-diones in CDCl3 and (CD3)2SO whereas N-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)pyrazolidine- 3,5 diones exist as a mixture of the diketo form with other tautomers. Polar solvents shift the equilibrium towards the keto-enol form; the diketo form is favoured at raised temperatures.

The possible effect of curcumin as a potential natural cancer treatment drug has been intensively discussed. In the present study the probabilities of a series of curcumin analogues to possess potential as antineoplastic, prostate cancer treatment and anticarcinogenic agents has been studied theoretically applying a selection of quantitative structure-activity relation and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) approaches. From spectroscopic studies it is evident that these compounds can be found in both enol and diketo forms, the former in general the more predominant in non-polar solvents, whereas in polar solvents, like water an increasing amount of the diketo form can be noted. Hence, the probabilities for both the enols and diketo forms to possess the above-mentioned effects were studied. In most cases the enol form shows the highest probabilities for being effective although the differences are not significant. Thus, it is suggested to look at the sum of effects of the keto and the enol forms in relation to the possible therapeutic effects of the compounds here studied.

Abstract Amine adducts of diorganomagnesium compounds MgR2(L) are soluble in hydrocarbons and therefore valuable synthons for reactions in non-polar solvents. In this way unsymmetrically substituted derivatives MgRR'(L) become available by substituting one organic group by a different carbanion via acid-base reactions, according to eq. (1): R2Mg(L) + HR' -> RR'Mg(L) + HR (1) with HR' being stronger CH-acids than HR. Using the amin adducts R2Mg(L) (R = Me, Et) with chelating amines (L = tetramethyl­ ethylenediamine, TMEDA, pentamethylethylenetriamine, PMDTA) and the strong CH-acids cyclopentadiene, indene, fluorene and alkynes the following compounds have been synthesized and their structures derived by X-ray analyses: MgMe(η3-cyclopentadienyl)(tmeda) (1), MgMe(η3-indenyl)(tmeda) (2), MgMe(η1-fluorenyl)(tmeda) (3), [Mg2Me2(pmdta)2]2+[fluorenyl]−2benzene (4) and [Mg2Et(phenylethynyl)3(tmeda)]2 ∙ benzene (5). It is remarkable, that cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, and fluorenyl ligands have a lower hapticity than η5 to the metal, due to steric repulsion by the other ligands. In 4 the bulky tridentate base PMDTA prevents any direct interaction between the fluorenide anion and magnesium, giving solvens separated ion pairs with the unusual and hitherto rare example of an organomagnesium cation [Mg2Me2(pmdt)2]2+. The 1:3 compound 5 has a more complicated structure, related to that of alkali metal alkynyl magnesates.

An improved method for the synthesis of a new series of trichloromethyl-β-diketones including 1,1,1-trichloropentan-2,4-dione (2a), 1,1,1-trichloro-3-methylhexan-2,4-dione (2b), 4,4,4-trichloro-1-phenylbutan-1,3-dione (2c), 4,4,4-trichloro-2-methyl-1-phenylbutan-1,3-dione (2d), 2-trichloroacetylcyclohexanone (2e), 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone (2f), 4-tert-butylcycloheptanone (2g), and 4-tert-butylcyclooctanone (2h) is reported. A multinuclear NMR study showed that β-dicarbonyl compounds 2b and 2d–2h are predominantly in the keto form and 2a and 2c are in the enol form. The trichloromethyl-β-diketones react with hydroxylamine hydrochloride leading to three sets of isoxazole derivatives.Key words: acetals, acylation, trichloromethyl-1,3-diketones, 2-trichloroacetylcycloalkanones, isoxazoles, cyclocondensation.

In this study, a series of asymmetric aryl 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were synthesized and their enol forms were observed via experimental data and theoretical calculations. According to the 1H- and 13C-NMR results, all the investigated compounds were found as a single enol form in CDCl3 solution. Moreover, their HMBC spectra were applied to identify the observed enol forms and correlations between certain protons and carbon atoms were considered. The dihedral angles of the asymmetric compounds that have aryl units on both sides were calculated by DFT to understand the reason for the observed enol forms. Small dihedral angles caused longer conjugation, resulting in more stable compounds and it was found that the observed enol forms were based on small dihedral angles, namely, resonance is the driving force. Furthermore, the compounds possessing both aryl and alkyl moieties prefer the enol form towards the aromatic ring side due to longer conjugation.

Abstract In living systems, nucleophilic amino acid residues are prone to non-enzymatic post-translational modification by electrophiles. α-Dicarbonyl compounds are a special type of electrophiles that can react irreversibly with lysine, arginine, and cysteine residues via complex mechanisms to form post-translational modifications known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone are the major endogenous dicarbonyls, with methylglyoxal being the most well-studied. There are several routes that lead to the formation of dicarbonyl compounds, most originating from glucose and glucose metabolism, such as the non-enzymatic decomposition of glycolytic intermediates and fructosyl amines. Although dicarbonyls are removed continuously mainly via the glyoxalase system, several conditions lead to an increase in dicarbonyl concentration and thereby AGE formation. AGEs have been implicated in diabetes and aging-related diseases, and for this reason the elucidation of their structure as well as protein targets is of great interest. Though the dicarbonyls and reactive protein side chains are of relatively simple nature, the structures of the adducts as well as their mechanism of formation are not that trivial. Furthermore, detection of sites of modification can be demanding and current best practices rely on either direct mass spectrometry or various methods of enrichment based on antibodies or click chemistry followed by mass spectrometry. Future research into the structure of these adducts and protein targets of dicarbonyl compounds may improve the understanding of how the mechanisms of diabetes and aging-related physiological damage occur.
