As the first stage in the investigations of the mechanisms of action of carcinogenic lactones, the reactions of 4-hydroxypent-2-enoic acid lactone (II, R = CH3), which is a carcinogen, and of the non-carcinogenic 4-hydroxypent-3-enoic (III, R = CH3) and 4-hydroxypentanoic (IV, R = CH3) acid lactones with methylamine and benzylamine have been studied. As expected, the carcinogenic lactone reacts to give the Michael addition products, whereas both inactive lactones undergo ring opening by nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group. From the relative rates of reaction of the amines with the lactones it is concluded that the induction of tumors by II (R = CH3) does not involve alkylation of biological primary alkylamino groups. The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the products enable the different reaction pathways to be distinguished readily, and may provide the basis for rapid physicochemical screening of alkylation agents that are potential carcinogens.

AbstractA broad range of vicinal diamines based on styrene oxide are synthesisedvia mixtures of regioisomeric amino alcohols. The ring opening of the intermediate aziridinium ions by primary amines proceeds with high regioselectivity, leading to the target diamines as single regioisomers for all reaction series. The compounds are of potential biological interest as ligands for cisplatin analogues. Anticancer activity tests of both groups of compounds are in progress.

Ring opening of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with various N-nucleophiles provides a simple approach to 1,3-functionalized compounds that are useful building blocks in organic synthesis, especially in assembling various N-heterocycles, including natural products. In this review, ring-opening reactions of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with amines, amides, hydrazines, N-heterocycles, nitriles, and the azide ion are summarized.1 Introduction2 Ring Opening with Amines3 Ring Opening with Amines Accompanied by Secondary Processes Involving the N-Center3.1 Reactions of Cyclopropane-1,1-diesters with Primary and Secondary Amines3.1.1 Synthesis of γ-Lactams3.1.2 Synthesis of Pyrroloisoxazolidines and -pyrazolidines3.1.3 Synthesis of Piperidines3.1.4 Synthesis of Azetidine and Quinoline Derivatives3.2 Reactions of Ketocyclopropanes with Primary Amines: Synthesis of Pyrrole Derivatives3.3 Reactions of Сyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitriles with Primary Amines: Synthesis of Pyrrole Derivatives4 Ring Opening with Tertiary Aliphatic Amines5 Ring Opening with Amides6 Ring Opening with Hydrazines7 Ring Opening with N-Heteroaromatic Compounds7.1 Ring Opening with Pyridines7.2 Ring Opening with Indoles7.3 Ring Opening with Di- and Triazoles7.4 Ring Opening with Pyrimidines8 Ring Opening with Nitriles (Ritter Reaction)9 Ring Opening with the Azide Ion10 Summary
