- AN ORGANOMETALLIC ROUTE TO (+/-)-3-p-TOLUENESULFINYL-2-PYRONE
-
3-Bromo-2-pyrone reacts with dimethylcopperlithium and then with p-tolyl p-toluenethiosulfonate to form 3-p-toluenethio-2-pyrone.Organocopper species are likely intermediates in this reaction.Oxidation of the sulfide produces (+/-)-3-p-toluenesulfinyl-2-pyrone.The overall process involves an important and useful umpolung, a reversal of reactivity at C(3) of the pyrone ring from an electrophilic center to a nucleophilic center.

- 3-Bromo-2-Pyrone: An Alternative and Convenient Route to Functionalized Phosphinines
-
The facile access to 3-bromo-2-pyrone allows the preparation of 6-bromo-2-trimethylsilyl-phosphinine by a [4+2] cycloaddition with Me3Si-C≡P for the first time. The regioselectivity of this reaction could be verified by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction of the corresponding W0complex. In the presence of ZnBr2and dppp (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) as a bidentate ligand, the bromo-phosphinine quantitatively undergoes a Negishi cross-coupling reaction with PhLi that selectively leads to 6-phenyl-2-trimethylsilyl-phosphinine. This heterocycle could again be characterized by means of X-ray diffraction as a W0complex. These results describe a new and convenient route to 2,6-disubstituted phosphinines that makes use of readily available starting materials.

- Modified Nucleosides for Rna Interference
-
The present invention relates to the use of modified nucleotides and single or double stranded oligonucleotides having at least one of said modified nucleotides for performing RNA interference. The modified nucleotides are selected from 6-membered ring containing nucleotides such as hexitol, altritol, O-substituted or O-alkylated altritol, cyclohexenyl, ribo-cyclohexenyl and O-substituted or O-alkylated ribo-cyclohexenyl nucleotides. The present invention also relates to novel modified nucleosides or nucleotides and to the use of the novel modified nucleosides and nucleotides in single or double stranded oligonucleotides for RNA interference, antisense therapy or other applications.

- Synthesis and conformational analysis of a ribo-type cyclohexenyl nucleoside
-
A straightforward approach to a novel class of ribo-type cyclohexenyl nucleosides is described. An electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction forms the key-step of the chosen synthetic pathway. Although the difference is small, conformational analysis using NMR shows that this nucleoside analogue adopts preferentially an 2H3 conformation (S-type), while the "deoxy" cyclohexenyl analogue has a preference for a C3′ endo conformation (N-type). Analyses of the conformational equilibrium reveal that, in the given experimental conditions, the difference between adenosine and its cyclohexenyl congener resides in their different ΔG values; furthermore, in adenosine, the conformational preference is of enthalpic origin, whereas in the cyclohexenyl congener, the conformational preference is of entropic origin.

- Antiproliferative hybrid analogs of the hormone 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3: Design, synthesis, and preliminary biological evaluation
-
The combination of 10-12 kbar pressure plus Lewis acidic zinc dichloride promotes highly regioselective and stereoselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition between 3-bromo-2-pyrone, prepared in a new way, and unactivated terminal alkene 4-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-1-butene. The conjugate base of A-ring allylic phosphine oxide 20 adds chemospecifically to the C-8 keto group of some C-8,C-24-diketones to form directly metabolically resistant 24-oxo analogs of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol). Several of these new hybrid analogs are as efficacious in vitro as calcitriol at inhibiting growth of murine keratinocytes even at physiologically relevant 10-100 nanomolar concentrations.

- Vitamin D3 analogues
-
A vitamin D3 analogue which includes a hydroxyalkyl substituent in the 1-position and a modified D-ring side chain is described. This novel compound is a potent anti-proliferative substance with activity comparable to that of calcitriol but with a vitamin D3 receptor binding rating of approximately 10-3 compared to that of calcitriol.
