*Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica, Nankang, Taipei 11529, Taiwan, R.O.C.
Abstract
A facile two-step or three-step one-flask procedure for a synthesis of β-alkyl-β-phenylthio-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (3a-j) from readily prepared 3-methoxy-1-phenylthio-1-propyne (1) is described. Condensation of 3a-j with methyl thioglycolate readily affords a number of 3-alkyl- and 3,5-dialkylthiophene-2-carboxylic methyl esters.

*Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory, Tanabe Seiyaku Co., Ltd., 2-2-50, Kawagishi, Toda, Saitama 335, Japan
Abstract
Several N-protected 2-aminobutanoic acids (3) with aromatic or heteroaromatic ring at their terminal position were prepared in good yields by reduction of the corresponding ketones (1) with triethylsilane (Et3SiH) in the presence of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The reduction proceeded without racemization and was successfully applied to the synthesis of optically active 2-aminobutanoic acids (6).

Abstract
From 2-(2-aminoethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1), the synthesis of compounds possessing the azatetrahydrocarboline moiety was described. The Fujii procedure did not afford the expected tetracyclic compound (5). However, the Pictet-Spengler reaction led to tricyclic aza-γ-carbolinic type compounds (8a-c).

*Departamento de Química Fundamental e Industrial, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de La Coruña, Campus de A Zapateira, E-15071, La Coruña, Spain
Abstract
Pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]-1,2,3-triazines (2) and (3) were synthesized from 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine (1) by diazotization and subsequent treatment with electrophilic reagents. Reaction of triazinone (2) with phosphorus oxychloride lead to a mixture of the triheterocyclic compound (4) and the 4-chlorosubstituted triazine (5). Aminolysis of 4 with either hydrazine or primary and secondary amines yielded the derivatives (7a-h). Nitrosation of 7a afforded the 4-substituted triazinone (8). Finally, substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole (9) was prepared from acylhydrazine (7a) and triethyl orthoformate.

■ Synthesis of New 1-Chalcogenapurines by the Reaction of 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carbonitrile with Isochalcogenocyanates
Hiroatsu Matsumoto*, Sumiko Hara, Nobuyuki Nagata, Kazuyoshi Ikeda, and Yoshihisa Mizuno
*Reseach Laboratory, Minophagen Pharmaceutical Co., 2-5233, Komatubara, Zama 228, Japan
Abstract
1-Chalcogenapurines[1-thiapurine derivatives (6,12c,d) and 1-selenapurine derivative (15)] and 1-substituted 1,6-dihydro-6-imino-9H-purine-2(3H)-chalcogenone (4a,b,13) were synthesized by the reaction of 5(4)-aminoimidazole-4(5)-carbonitrile (3) with various isochalogenocyanates in pyridine. The reaction of 3 with methyl isothiocyanate in pyridine afforded only the 1,6-dihydro-1-methyl-6-imino-9H-purine-2(3H)-thione (4a). On the other hand, the reactions of 3 with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate, benzoyl isothiocyanate or benzhydryl isoselenocyanate preferentially gave the 1-chalcogenapurine derivatives (12c,d,15). In turn, both 1,6-dihydro-1-phenyl-6-imino-9H-purine-2(3H)-thione (4b) and 6,9-dihydro-2-phenylamino-6-(3-phenylthioureido)imino-1-thiapurine (6) were produced by the reaction of 3 with phenyl isothiocyanate. Modes of cyclization reactions involving 3 and isochalcogenocyanate (R-N=C=X, X; S,Se) depend in remarkable extent on the chalcogene atom as well as R portion of R-N=C=X.

■ Studies on the Alkylation of Chiral, Non-racemic, Tricyclic Pyrrolidinones
John A. Ragan* and Michelle C. Claffey
*Pfizer Central Research, Eastern Point Road, Groton, CT 06340, U.S.A.
Abstract
Condensation of cyclic keto acids with chiral amino alcohols provides tricyclic pyrrolidinones with high levels of diastereoselectivity. These pyrrolidinones can be alkylated via their lithium or sodium enolates. Optimal alkylation conditions vary with the nature of the amino alcohol; the phenylglycinol-derived pyrrolidinones suffer from an apparent benzylic metallation, whereas the valinol and norephedrine-derived substrates are good alkylation substrates. Application of this methodology to a vinylsilane/iminium ion cyclization approach to the synthesis of Whitesell’s amine was also investigated.

*Department of Organic Chemistry, University of Alcalá, 28871 Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), Spain
Abstract
Regioselective cyclizations of the condensation products obtained by the reaction of nitrogen nucleophiles with ketene dithioacetals or alkoxymethylene compounds are reported. Stereoelectronic factors or geometry of the carbon-carbon double bond determine the regioselectivity of heterocyclization processes.

■ Acid Decomposition of the Antimalarial Beta-Arteether
Nancy Acton* and Ronald J. Roth
*Division of Experimental Therapeutics, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, DC 20307-5100, U.S.A.
Abstract
The antimalarial agent β-arteether was reacted with aqueous ethanolic HCl. Four compounds (11,12,13,and 14) were isolated. Two, 11 and 12, have the same structure as analogs recently reported by Baker and Chi. Compound (13) is spectroscopically nearly identical with another compound isolated by Baker and Chi, but facile electrochemical reduction of this material suggests that the compound is in fact a peroxide.

Abstract
The behavior on lithiation of seventeen N-substituted benzotriazoles was investigated. In seven cases, the N-substituent was either removed or no lithiation occured, in six instances lithiation occurred in the N-substituent and in the four remaining compounds lithiation occurred at the ring 7-position, albeit in low yield.

Intramolecular cyclization of (2S,4R)-1-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl-4-methanesulfonyloxy-2-pyrrolidinethiocarboxylic acid (8), derived from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (3), afforded (1S,4S)-5-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl-2-thia-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-one (7). Reaction of 7 with primary amine, secondary amine and alkoxide afforded corresponding 2 in high yield.
