    Notes: Abstract When populations are exposed to different environments, evolutionary processes can lead either to genetically differentiated strains or to the appearance of increased generalism at the individual level. For evolution to occur, genetic variability in performance in different environments is required. Here, intraspecific genetic variation across environments was estimated in the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) by comparing the responses of two strains of T. castaneum to different flour types. Replicated groups from each strain were allowed to develop on either the standard whole wheat medium or on one of four novel flours (wheat, rice, corn and oat). In several of the novel flours, clear differences in mean development time or population size of one or both strains were seen relative to performance in the standard medium. Moreover, the strains differed significantly in their phenotypic responses to the flours. One strain did particularly poorly on oat flour. Reduced oviposition, reduced larval survivorship and increased larval cannibalism were examined as possible causes of the low productivity on oat flour. These three factors accounted for about 70% of the reduction in population size when this strain oviposited and developed in oat flour. The difference between these two outbred strains in response to these five flours suggests that genetic variation in resource use is present within T. castaneum and may also be present within strains and natural populations in grain storage facilities. Such variation would permit an evolutionary response to selection in multiple environments (flours). This process has agricultural implications when several types of grain are stored in a single location because it could eventually lead to the evolution of highly generalized populations of T. castaneum, an important pest of stored products.

    Notes: Abstract The salt marsh horse fly, Tabanus nigrovittatusMacquart, exhibits two nonoverlapping daily periods of hovering and mating activity, which are correlated with different environmental temperatures. Allelic and genotypic frequencies of hovering males collected during the two periods were compared by electrophoresis of three polymorphic enzyme loci. Approximately 26% of early-hovering males possessed a Pgmallozyme that was absent in our sample of late-hovering males. However, based on other allozyme loci, we found no evidence for reproductive isolation between early and late hoverers. All the genetic data are consistent with the hypothesis that the Pgmpolymorphism is associated with behaviorally and physiologically distinct groups of males that, by all other criteria, form a single Mendelian population.

    Notes: Summary Root-colonizingPseudomonas putida WCS358 enhances growth of potato in part by producing under iron-limiting conditions a yellow-green, fluorescent siderophore designated pseudobactin 358. This siderophore efficiently complexes iron(III) in the rhizosphere, making it less available to certain endemic microorganisms, including phytopathogens, thus inhibiting their growth. At least 15 genes distributed over five gene clusters are required for the biosynthesis of pseudobactin 358. High-affinity iron(III) transport in strain WCS358 is initiated by an 86-kDa outer membrane receptor protein (PupA) which appears to be specific for ferric pseudobactin 358. PupA shares strong similarity with TonB-dependent receptor proteins ofEscherichia coli, which suggests a TonB-like protein in strain WCS358 is required for iron(III) transport. Strain WCS358 possesses a second uptake system for ferric pseudobactin 358 and structurally diverse ferric siderophores produced by other microorganisms. A second receptor gene (pupB) responsible for iron transport from pseudobactin BN7 or pseudobactin BN8 has been identified. The production of this and certain other ferric siderophore receptor proteins requires that strain WCS358 be grown in the presence of these siderophores. An apparent regulatory gene required for the expression ofpupB is located adjacent topupB. Two positive regulatory genes have been identified which can independently activate, under low-iron(III) conditions, transcription of genes coding for the biosynthesis of pseudobactin 358.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic ecology is the extension of our modern knowledge in molecular genetics to studies of viability, gene expression and gene movements in natural environments like soils, aquifers and digestive tracts. In such milieux, the horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne genes between phylogenetically distant species has already been found to be much more frequent than had been expected from laboratory experience. For the study of exchanges involving chromosomally-located genes, more has to be learned about the behaviour of transposons in such environments. The results expected from studies in genetic ecology are relevant for considerations of evolution, biodiversity and biosafety. The role of this new field of research in restoring popular confidence in science and in its biotechnological applications is stressed.

    Notes: Abstract The present paper reviews the evidence for a possible involvement of renal eicosanoids in the pathophysiology of high blood pressure in genetically hypertensive rats of the Lyon strain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that an increased ability to synthesize the vasoconstrictor prostaglandin H2 and/or thromboxane A2 in renal vessels (1) acts as an autocrine amplifier of pressor agents and (2) may contribute to resetting the pressure natriuresis curve which is a prerequisite for the development and maintenance of hypertension.

    Notes: Summary Life-history traits of 101 clones from two populations of Daphnia magna were measured under controlled environmental conditions in the laboratory. Some individuals had four juvenile instars, others had five. This depended on their length at birth and on the population they came from. Females in the group with five juvenile instars were smaller at birth but larger and older at maturity than those with four juvenile instars. Within groups of females with equal numbers of preadult instars (instar groups) age and size at maturity increased with size at birth. This relationship differed significantly among instar groups for both age and size at maturity. Significant differences in age and size at maturity between two populations became non-significant when size at birth was used as a covariable in AN-COVA. Within populations, size at birth depended on the clone and on the parity of the clutch. First-clutch offspring were considerably smaller than those from later clutches. The results suggest that variability in life-history traits is common within and between clones, but that most of this variation can be accounted for by size at birth and the number of pre-adult instars.

    Notes: Abstract We have obtained one plant regenerated from rye tissue culture which showed a high percentage of polyembryonic seeds in its progeny. The mutation inducing the development of extra embryos is also influencing erroneous cell division, mitosis and meiosis. The genetic analysis indicated that the aptitude for polyembryonic seed formation is a heritable trait controlled by a dominant gene. However, for expression of the phenotype the female parent should have a specific cytoplasm.

    Notes: Summary Auxotrophic strains of Mucor genevensis and Zygorhynchus exponens were crossed and the resulting zygospores germinated. The presence of a true sexual cycle in both species was demonstrated by the recovery of recombinant genotypes. Expected Mendelian ratios were not realized, however. The presence of selfed zygospores among those isolated makes this observation understandable. It was possible to demonstrate nutritional complementation when young mating mycelium was transferred to minimal medium and forced heterokaryons were recovered.

    Notes: Summary Four strains of the honeybee (Apis mellifera capensis), which were selected for high (N=2) or low (N=2) performance levels in classic conditioning of olfactory and mechanosensory stimuli, were examined in two instrumental visual learning tasks. Bees were trained to coloured cardboards either at the hive entrance or at the feeding station. Positive correlations were detected between olfactory/mechanosensory conditioning and visual learning. Good and poor learners from strains selected for olfactory conditioning differed significantly in their visual learning values. These strain differences reflect genetic differences in a common learning system rather than task specific differences in sensory, motor or motivational components. Parameters that were influenced by activity of the colony (duration of stay at the feeding place, time between visits) also differed among selected strains. These effects were not due to selection. Instead, they reflect a specific genetic background produced in each strain independently of selection. The results indicate that associative learning has a genetic basis which is independent of the sensory stimuli associated with reward, the learning procedure (classical conditioning or instrumental learning) or the motor patterns used to execute the learned behavior (proboscis extension, control for flight behavior, open field orientation).

    Notes: Abstract Heterologous gene probes derived from cfxLp and cfxPp genes of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 revealed the presence of structural genes encoding ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK) on the genome of carboxydotrophic bacteria. The two genes were found to be rather conserved. In Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM5 cfx genes reside on the plasmid pHCG3 and the chromosome as well, indicating that they are duplicated. Also in all plasmidharboring carboxydotrophic bacteria cfxL and cfxP structural genes were found to be plasmid-coded. Our results extend the list of carboxydotrophy structural genes residing on the plasmid pHCG3 and strongly support the idea that the components essential for the chemolithoautotrophic utilization of CO by Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM5 are plasmid-coded. A cfxL gene probe from Rhodospirillum rubrum did not detectably hybridize with DNA from any of the carboxydotrophic bacteria examined.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Cet article présente une solution au problème de l'analyse de variance, pour certains cas où la variable à analyser est spatialement autocorr élée alors que le critère de classification représente des sous-régions connexes du territoire à l'étude. On sait que les méthodes classiques d'analyse de variance ne sont pas applicables dans ce type de situation puisque la condition d'indépendance des échantillons n'est pas respectée; l'autocorrélation positive réduit la variabilité intragroupe, si bien que la quantité relative de variabilité intergroupe s'en trouve artificiellement augmentée. Cette situation correspond en réalité à une vaste catégorie de problèmes en génétique des populations, en écologie et dans d'autres branches de la biologie, ainsi qu'en épidémiologie, en géographie, en géologie, en science économique, en science politique et en sociologie. Ce nouveau test appartient à la famille des tests par permutation. Nous calculons la somme des dispersions intragroupes et testons contre une distribution de référence obtenue en permutant les régions géographiques un grand nombre de fois sur la carte. La véritable difficulté de ce test est d'ordre algorithmique, puisqu'il n'est pas facile de permuter des régions sur une carte, de façon à ce que chaque groupe demeure connexe, et que la carte permutée occupe le même espace total que la carte d'origine. Cet article présente la théorie, les algorithmes, ainsi que des résultats obtenus par cette méthode. Un programme écrit en PASCAL est disponible.
    Notes: Abstract The classical method for analysis of variance of data divided in geographic regions is impaired if the data are spatially autocorrelated within regions, because the condition of independence of the observations is not met. Positive autocorrelation reduces within-group variability, thus artificially increasing the relative amount of among-group variance. Negative autocorrelation may produce the opposite effect. This difficulty can be viewed as a loss of an unknown number of degrees of freedom. Such problems can be found in population genetics, in ecology and in other branches of biology, as well as in economics, epidemiology, geography, geology, marketing, political science, and sociology. A computer-intensive method has been developed to overcome this problem in certain cases. It is based on the computation of pooled within-group sums of squares for sampled permutations of internally connected areas on a map. The paper presents the theory, the algorithms, and results obtained using this method. A computer program, written in PASCAL, is available.

    Notes: Summary To determine the relationship between nodulation restriction by the Rj4 allele of soybean, rhizobitoxine-induced chlorosis, and taxonomic grouping of bradyrhizobia, 119 bradyrhizobial isolates were tested in Leonard jar culture for nodulation response and chlorosis induction. In addition to strain USDA 61, the strain originally reported as defining the Rj4 response, eight other isolates (i.e., USDA 62, 83, 94, 238, 252, 259, 260, and 340) were discovered to elicit the nodulation interdiction of the Rj4 allele. Only 16% of all the bradyrhizobial strains tested induced chlorosis, but seven of the nine strains (78%) interdicted by the Rj4 allele were chlorosis-inducing strains. Furthermore, in tests for antibiotic resistance profile, eight of the nine interdicted strains (89%) were classed in DNA homology group II. This evidence suggests that the Rj4 allele has a positive value to the host plant in shielding it from nodulation by certain chlorosis-inducing bradyrhizobia of a DNA homology group with impaired efficiency of nitrogen fixation with soybean.

    Notes: Summary Genetic improvement in growth of poultry has traditionally proceeded via selection for body weight at a fixed age. Due to increased maintenance costs and reproductive problems of adult broiler breeders, the potential for genetic manipulation of the growth curve has been receiving increased interest. Research of both male and female progeny of a three-way diallel cross was used to investigate the inheritance of growth curve parameters. The Laird form of the Gompertz equation was used to determine growth curve parameters, and was suited to the juvenile growth data frequently collected from meat-type chickens. Growth rate exhibited significant heterosis due to both autosomes and the sex chromosomes. Age at inflection point also exhibited significant average heterosis, though only among females. Growth rate was also influenced by average line effects, as was age at inflection point. Maternal effects had no influence on growth curve parameters, while additive sex linkage was observed for growth rate. Phenotypic and genetic correlations were calculated among the growth curve parameters and suggest that specific breeding programs could alter the growth trajectory of the contemporary broiler chicken. Moderate heritabilities were observed for the growth curve parameters and support the hypothesis that the growth curve could be altered via genetic manipulation of early postnatal growth, especially during the first 14 days post-hatch.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and one morphological marker were used to investigate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for morphological and physiological traits evaluated on 150 F2∶3 maize (Zea mays L.) lines derived from the cross of elite U.S. Corn Belt inbreds Mo17 and H99. F2∶3 lines were grown in a replicated experiment and evaluated for plant and ear heights and flowering traits. QTL were identified for each trait, and genetic effects were determined. Estimated gene action for the flowering traits was predominantly overdominance. Both parents contributed toward increased values for anthesis and silk emergence. QTL for increased plant and ear heights were usually contributed by the taller parent, Mo17. Estimated gene action for these traits was mainly partial to overdominance. QTL for plant height were located in the vicinity of loci defined by alleles with qualitative effects on plant height.

    Notes: Abstract Recent work has revealed random chromosome pairing and assortment in Saccharum spontaneum L., the most widely distributed, and morphologically and cytologically variable of the species of Saccharum. This conclusion was based on the analysis of a segregating population from across between S. spontaneum ‘SES 208’ and a spontaneously-doubled haploid of itself, derived from anther culture. To determine whether polysomic inheritance is common in Saccharum and whether it is observed in a typical biparental cross, we studied chromosome pairing and assortment in 44 progeny of a cross between euploid, meiotically regular, 2n=80 forms of Saccharum officinarum ‘LA Purple’ and Saccharum robustum ‘ Mol 5829’. Papuan 2n=80 forms of S. robustum have been suggested as the immediate progenitor species for cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum). A total of 738 loci in LA Purple and 720 loci in Mol 5829 were amplified and typed in the progeny by arbitrarily primed PCR using 45 primers. Fifty and 33 single-dose polymorphisms were identified in the S. officinarum and S. robustum genomes, respectively (χ 2 at 98%). Linkage analysis of single-dose polymorphisms in both genomes revealed linkages in repulsion and coupling phases. In the S. officinarum genome, a map hypothesis gave 7 linkage groups with 17 linked and 33 unlinked markers. Four of 13 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase and 9 were in coupling phase. In the S. robustum genome, a map hypothesis gave 5 linkage groups, defined by 12 markers, with 21 markers unlinked, and 2 of 9 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase. Therefore, complete polysomic inheritance was not observed in either species, suggesting that chromosomal behavior is different from that observed by linkage analysis of over 500 markers in the S. spontaneum map. Implications of this finding for evolution and breeding are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The inheritance of phosphorous (P) — deficiency tolerance in rice was investigated by a sevenparent diallel. The parent materials involved were four P-efficient (IR20, IR54, IR28, and Mahsuri), one moderately P-efficient (TN1), and two P-inefficient (IR31406333-1 and IR34686-179-1-2-1), genotypes. Relative tilering ability (RTA) under P-deficient and P-supplemented soil conditions was the parameter used in determining the tolerance level of the different genotypes. Diallel graph analysis revealed that tolerant parents have an excess of recessive genes, while moderate and susceptible parents possess more dominant genes. Genetic-component analysis suggested that both additive and dominance gene effects are involved in the inheritance of P-deficiency tolerance in rice. The trait exhibited over doiminance as confirmed by the graphical analysis. Narrow-sense heritability of the trait was moderate (0.50) and environmental effects were low. Both the general combining ability (GCA) and the specific combining ability (SCA) were significant, but GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parents exhibited a high GCA whereas susceptibles have a very poor GCA, suggesting that tolerant parents were mostly enriched in additive genes and susceptible parents in non-additive genes. Crosses involving two high general combiners showed low SCA effects whereas crosses between poor general combiners manifested highly-significant SCA values.

    Notes: Summary The genetics and relationships between the genes in rye located in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the male sterility of the G-type were investigated. A factor inducing male sterility was found in the cytoplasms or rye cv Schlägler alt and rye cv Norddeutscher Champagner. Monogenic inheritance was observed in linkage tests. Using primary trisomies of rye cv Esto, the nuclear gene ms1 was found to be located on chromosome 4R. Modifying genes, probably masked in normal cytoplasm but expressed in male-sterility-inducing cytoplasm together with gene ms1, were located on chromosomes 3R (ms2) and 6R (ms3). Mono-, di-, and trigenic inheritance types were found in backcross progenies of trisomies.

    Notes: Summary The genetics of salinity tolerance in rice was investigated by a nine-parent complete diallel including reciprocals. Test materials involved susceptible (IR28, IR29, and MI-48), moderately tolerant (IR4595-4-1-13, IR9884-54-3-1E-P1, and IR10206-29-2-1), and tolerant (“Nona Bokra”, “Pokkali”, and SR26B) parents. Twoweek-old seedlings were grown in a salinized (EC = 12 dS/m) culture solution for 19 days under controlled conditions in the IRRI phytotron. Typical characteristics of salinity tolerance in rice were found to be Na+ exclusion and an increased absorption of K+ to maintain a good Na-K balance in the shoot. Genetic component analysis (GCA) revealed that a low Na-K ratio is governed by both additive and dominance gene effects. The trait exhibited overdominance, and two groups of genes were detected. Environmental effects were large, and the heritability of the trait was low. Our findings suggest that when breeding for salt tolerance, selection must be done in a later generation and under controlled conditions in order to minimize environmental effects. Modified bulk and single-seed descent would be the suitable breeding methods. Combining ability analysis revealed that both GCA and specific combining ability (SCA) effects were important in the genetics of salt tolerance. Moderately tolerant parents — e.g., IR4595-4-1-13 and IR9884-54-3-1E-P1 — were the best general combiners. Most of the best combinations had susceptible parents crossed either to moderate or tolerant parents. The presence of reciprocal effects among crosses necessitates the use of susceptible parents as males in hybridization programs. Large heterotic effects suggest the potential of hybrid rice for salt-affected lands.

    Notes: Abstract The concentration of potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), as measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in the foliage of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) of cv ‘Maris Piper’ with secondary infection was 2900 ng/g leaf, whereas in clones G7445(1) and G7032(5) it was 180 ng/g leaf and 120 ng/g leaf, respectively. To examine the genetic control of resistance to PLRV multiplication, reciprocal crosses were made between the susceptible cultivar ‘Maris Piper’ and the two resistant clones, and the three parents were selfed. Seedling progenies of these families were grown to generate tubers of individual genotypes (clones). Clonally propagated plants were graft-inoculated, and their daughter tubers were collected and used to grow plants with secondary infection in which PLRV concentration was estimated. The expression of resistance to PLRV multiplication had a bimodal distribution in progenies from crosses between ‘Maris Piper’ and either resistant clone, and also in progeny from selfing the resistant parents, with genotypes segregating into high and low virus titre groups. Only the progeny obtained from selfing ‘Maris Piper’ did not segregate, all genotypes being susceptible to PLRV multiplication. The pattern of segregation obtained from these progenies fits more closely with the genetical hypothesis that resistance to PLRV multiplication is controlled by two unlinked dominant complementary genes, both of which are required for resistance, than with the simpler hypothesis that resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene, as published previously.

    Notes: Summary The NADP-specific malate dehydrogenase isozymes were controlled by multiple gene systems. Three genes coding for dimeric enzymes segregated in a dependent fashion (NADP-Mdh 1, NADP-Mdh 2, NADP-Mdh 3). A fourth gene (NADP-Mdh 4), also coded for dimers, but was not polymorphic in B. vulgaris. A fifth gene (NADP-Me 1) coded for enzymes active as monomers. Two genes were found to control the main zone of NAD-specific malate dehydrogenase: one coded for dimers (Mdh 1), while a second (Mdh 2) was not polymorphic in the assessions studied. 6-P-Gluconate dehydrogenase was not polymorphic in B. vulgaris; the two types detected on SGE1 electrophoresis were due to developmental expression of the different systems. No genetical segregations could be detected in progeny of crosses of the distinct phenotypes. A shikimate dehydrogenase gene (Skdh 1) that coded for monomers was identified. The diaphorase system was rather complex, but one gene (Dia 1) coding for monomeric enzymes could be identified. Aconitase was found to be controlled by two independent genes (Aco 1, Aco 2), both polymorphic and coding for proteins active as monomers. Tight linkage was found between the genes NADP-Mdh 1, NADP-Mdh 2 and NADP-Mdh 3. Linkage was also found between a pollen fertility restorer (Z) and the Mdh 1 gene. The identification of linkage with Aco 1 needs further investigation. R segregated independently from Mdh 1, Aco 1 and Dia 1. Independent segregations were scored for isozyme genes Pgm 2, Icd 1, Ak 1, Gpi 1, Aco 1 and Dia 1.

    Notes: Summary Legumin and vicilin were purified from seeds of Vicia faba L. var. Scuro, characterized in different electrophoretic systems, and used to produce polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Two-dimensional electrophoretic studies showed a wide range of heterogeneity in the subunits of both legumin and vicilin. Legumin was found to be composed of 29 disulphide-linked subunit pairs with different molecular weight and/or isoelectric point. Western blot analysis of legumin of several mutants revealed molecular polymorphism based on a corresponding gene family. Three different α-major legumin patterns were found, and inheritance studies showed that the 34.3-kD legumin polypeptide is the product of one locus, Lg-1α, which is the first legumin genetic locus described in Vicia faba. Vicilin was found to be composed of as many as 59 subunits distributed in a molecular weight range of 65.7 to 42.8 kD (major polypeptides) and 37.2 to 15.2 kD (minor polypeptides), with different isoelectric points. A model is proposed that explains the possible formation of the minor subunits and the major subunits of 48.2 and 46 kD molecular weight (MW) from proteolytic cleavages and/or glycosilation of precursor polypeptides. Ten different vicilin electrophoretic patterns were observed among the analyzed accessions, which showed large molecular polymorphism that proved to be under genetic control.

    Notes: Summary Rye α-Amy1, α-Amy2, and α-Amy3 genes were studied in the cross between inbred lines using wheat α-amylase cDNA probes. The α-Amy1 and α-Amy2 probes uncovered considerable restriction fragment length polymorphism, whereas the α-Amy3 region was much more conserved. The numbers of restriction fragments found and the F2 segregation data suggest that there are three α-Amy1 genes, two or three α-Amy2 genes, and three α-Amy3 genes in rye. These conclusions were supported by a simultaneous study of α-amylase isozyme polymorphism. The F2 data showed the three individual α-Amy1 genes to span a distance of 3cM at the locus on chromosome 6RL. The genes were mapped relative to other RFLP markers on 6RL. On chromosome 7RL two α-Amy2 genes were shown to be separated by 5 cM. Linkage data within α-Amy3 on 5RL were not obtained since RFLP could be detected at only one of the genes.

    Notes: Summary Accessions of Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. (D genome donor to hexaploid wheat) vary in salt tolerance and in the rate that Na+ accumulates in leaves. The aim of this study was to determine whether these differences in salt tolerance and leaf Na+ concentration would be expressed in hexaploid wheat. Synthetic hexaploids were produced from five T. tauschii accessions varying in salt tolerance and two salt-sensitive T. turgidum cultivars. The degree of salt tolerance of the hexaploids was evaluated as the grain yield per plant in 150 mol m-3 NaCl relative to grain yield in 1 mol m-3 NaCl (control). Sodium concentration in leaf 5 was measured after the leaf was fully expanded. The salt tolerance of the genotypes correlated negatively with the concentration of Na+ in leaf 5. The salt tolerance of the synthetic hexaploids was greater than the tetraploid parents primarily due to the maintenance of kernel weight under saline conditions. Synthetic hexaploids varied in salt tolerance with the source of their D genome which demonstrates that genes for salt tolerance from the diploid are expressed at the hexaploid level.

    Notes: Abstract Molecular markers at 103 loci were used to identify the location of quantitative sources of resistance to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Host-plant response was measured in terms of the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity), and the average size of lesions. The location of quantitative trait loci were compared with three loci having known qualitative effects, namely Ht1, Ht2 and bx1. Chromosomal regions containing the Ht1 and Ht2 loci showed a small contribution in determining lesion size, even though alleles with dominant, qualitative effects at these loci have never been reported in either inbred parent. Similar effects were not observed for the number of lesions or for disease severity. Likewise, some contribution was observed for chromosomal regions encompassing the bx1 locus in determining lesion size but not the number of lesions or disease severity. Overall the contribution of loci in the vicinity of Ht1, Ht2 and bx1 was small relative to variation attributable to loci with quantitative effects identified in this study. Molecular-marker-facilitated mapping concurred with previous reciprocal translocation mapping studies on the importance of chromosomes 3, 5 and 7, despite the fact that these studies utilized diverse sources of resistant germplasm.

    Notes: Abstract RFLPs were used to investigate components of host-plant response to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 unselected F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Following inoculation with spore suspensions of the pathogen (race 0), components of disease development were measured and then quantitative trait mapping was performed to identify the location and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining host-plant response. Components of interest were the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity) and the average size of lesions (cm2). Based on a LOD threshold of 2.31 (P〈0.05), the number of lesions appears to be associated with QTLs on chromosomes 1S, 3L, 5S. Severity was associated with analogous regions and, in addition, QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 8L. Most QTLs, for either of these two components, involve additive gene action and partial dominance or overdominance. In contrast, lesion size was associated with QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 5L; recessive gene action may be involved at 7L.

    Notes: Abstract An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with A. wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. Eighty-eight F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map representing the A genome of cultivated hexaploid oat. Two hundred and eight RFLP loci have been placed into 10 linkage groups. This map covers 2416 cM, with an average of 12 cM between RFLP loci. Eighty-eight F3 lines, derived from F2 individuals used to construct the map, were screened for resistance to 9 isolates of P. coronata. One locus, Pca, was found to confer a dominant resistance phenotype to isolates 203, 258, 263, 264B, 290, 298, 325A, and 345. Pca also conferred resistance to isolate 276; however, an unlinked second gene may also be involved.

    Notes: Abstract Variability exists among worker honey bees for components of division of labor. These components are of two types, those that affect foraging behavior and those that affect life-history characteristics of workers. Variable foraging behavior components are: the probability that foraging workers collect (1) pollen only; (2) nectar only; and (3) pollen and nectar on the same trip. Life history components are: (1) the age the workers initiate foraging behavior; (2) the length of the foraging life of a worker; and (3) worker length of life. We show how these components may interact to change the social organization of honey bee colonies and the lifetime foraging productivity of individual workers. Selection acting on foraging behavior components may result in changes in the proportion of workers collecting pollen and nectar. Selection acting on life-history components may affect the size of the foraging population and the distribution of workers between within nest and foraging activities. We suggest that these components define possible sociogenic “pathways” through which colony-level natural selection can change social organization. These pathways may be analogous to developmental pathways in the morphogenesis of individual organisms because small changes in behavioral or life history components of individual workers may lead to major changes in the organizational structure of colonies.

    Notes: Abstract Previously we reported that there are subfamily differences in drone production in queenless honey bee colonies, but these biases are not always explained by subfamily differences in oviposition behavior. Here we determine whether these puzzling results are best explained by either inadequate sampling of the laying worker population or reproductive conflict among workers resulting in differential treatment of eggs and larvae. Using colonies composed of workers from electrophoretically distinct subfamilies, we collected samples of adult bees engaged in the following behavior: “true” egg laying, “false” egg laying, indeterminate egg laying, egg cannibalism, or nursing (contact with larvae). We also collected samples of drone brood at four different ages: 0 to 2.5-h-old eggs, 0 to 24-h-old eggs, 3 to 8-day-old larvae, and 9 to 14-day-old larvae and pupae. Allozyme analyses revealed significant subfamily differences in the likelihood of exhibiting egg laying, egg cannibalism, and nursing behavior, as well as significant subfamily differences in drone production. There were no subfamily differences among the different types of laying workers collected from each colony, suggesting that discrepancies between subfamily biases in egg-laying behavior and drone production are not due to inadequate sampling of the laying worker population. Subfamily biases in drone brood production within a colony changed significantly with brood age. Laying workers had significantly more developed ovaries than either egg cannibals or nurses, establishing a physiological correlate for the observed behavioral genetic differences. These results suggest there is reproductive conflict among subfamilies and individuals within queenless colonies of honey bees. The implications of these results for the evolution of reproductive conflict, in both queenright and queenless contexts, are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Three experiments were performed to determine whether brood care in honey bee colonies is influenced by colony genetic structure and by social context. In experiment 1, there were significant genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on observations of individually labeled workers of known age belonging to two visually distinguishable subfamilies. In experiment 2, no genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing drones or workers was detected, in the same colonies that were used in experiment 1. In experiment 3, there again were significant genotypic differences in the likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on electrophoretic analyses of workers from a set of colonies with allozyme subfamily markers. There also was an overall significant trend for colonies to show greater subfamily differences in queen rearing when the queens were sisters (half- and super-sisters) rather than unrelated, but these differences were not consistent from trial to trial for some colonies. Results of experiments 1 and 3 demonstrate genotypic differences in queen rearing, which has been reported previously based on more limited behavioral observations. Results from all three experiments suggest that genotypic differences in brood care are influenced by social context and may be more pronounced when workers have a theoretical opportunity to practice nepotism. Finally, we failed to detect persistent interindividual differences in bees from either subfamily in the tendency to rear queen brood, using two different statistical tests. This indicates that the probability of queen rearing was influenced by genotypic differences but not by the effect of prior queen-rearing experience. These results suggest that subfamilies within a colony can specialize on a particular task, such as queen rearing, without individual workers performing that task for extended periods of time.

    Notes: Summary We have improved zygote recovery 11–1,000 fold by optimizing the physiology of gamete release and mating inAcetabularia acetabulum. Gamete release was affected by agar purity, concentration, and volume/gametangial pair. Cold pre-treatment of gametangia (14–30 d at 10°C in the dark) synchronized subsequent gamete release at 21°C in the light. Cold pre-treatment was nearly twice as effective in synchronizing subsequent gamete release when intact, gametangia-bearing caps rather than isolated gametangia were pretreated. Synchronizing gamete release doubled mating efficiency. In a wild-type laboratory strain ofA. acetabulum, there were 1,561±207 gametes/gametangium which had half-lives of 14.5 d in 0.1% seawater-agar. We recovered 48–93% of the expected numbers of zygotes from a mass mating of 8 to 1,226 gametangia and 11–128% of the expected numbers of zygotes from mating single gametangial pairs: the large range in the calculated mating efficiency may be attributable to the variation in the numbers of gametes made per gametangium. Zygote recovery from single gametangial pairs was highly dependent on the volume of mating matrix. In addition, most zygotes recovered were unattached to any other zygotes in the subsequent generation (〉 95% single cells from matings of 1–500 gametangial pairs). Our improvements in mating conditions and zygote recovery (1) have facilitated cell manipulation and culture ofA. acetabulum in the laboratory; and (2) have made controlled crosses for selection and genetic analysis of mutants feasible. These advances have removed a major barrier to genetic analysis of development inAcetabularia.

    Notes: Abstract Definitions of the term ‘gene’ typically superimpose molecular genetics onto Mendelism. What emerges are persistent attempts to regard the gene as a ‘unit’ of structure and/or function, language that creates multiple meanings for the term and fails to acknowledge the diversity of gene architecture. I argue that coherence at the molecular level requires abandonment of the classical unit concept and recognition that a gene is constructed from an assemblage of domains. Hence, a domain set (1) conforms more closely to empirical evidence for genetic organization of DNA regions capable of transcription and (2) has ontological properties lacking in the traditional unit definition.

    Notes: Abstract A chimeric gene encoding a ribozyme under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was introduced into transgenic tobacco plants. In vivo activity of this ribozyme, which was designed to cleave npt mRNA, was previously demonstrated by transient expression assays in plant protoplasts. The ribozyme gene was transferred into transgenic tobacco plants expressing an rbcS-npt chimeric gene as an indicator. Five double transformants out of sixteen exhibited a reduction in the amount of active NPT enzyme. To measure the amount of ribozyme produced, in the absence of its target, the ribozyme and target genes were separated by genetic segregation. The steady-state concentrations of ribozyme and target RNA were shown to be similar in the resulting single transformants. Direct evidence for a correlation between reduced npt gene expression and ribozyme expression was provided by crossing a plant containing only the ribozyme gene with a transgenic plant expressing the npt gene under control of the 35S promoter, i.e. the same promoter used to direct ribozyme expression. The expression of npt was reduced in all progeny containing both transgenes. Both steady-state levels of npt mRNA and amounts of active NPT enzyme are decreased. In addition, our data indicate that, at least in stable transformants, a large excess of ribozyme over target is not a prerequisite for achieving a significant reduction in target gene expression.

    Notes: Summary We have isolated nine independent auxin-resistant mutants of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia by culturing M2 seedlings in the presence of indole-3-acetic acid ethyl ester or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid at concentrations which significantly inhibit hypocotyl elongation of the wild type. The mutations were induced by treating seed with ethyl methanesulphonate and were found in the course of screening 10 000 individual M2 families. Auxin resistance was in all cases the result of a mutation at a single, nuclear locus. The dominance relationships of two of the mutants could be defined as recessive or dominant; all other mutants showed partial dominance. In contrast to previously described mutants of Arabidopsis and N. plumbaginifolia, all of the present mutants were specifically resistant to auxin; the mutants were cross-resistant to several auxins, but showed no increased resistance to cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene or 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid. The importance of the choice of the selection criterion for the isolation of specific resistance traits is discussed.

    Notes: Synopsis The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of unpredictable environmental fluctuations on the demographic and genetic structure of Fundulus zebrinus populations. Collections of F. zebrinus were taken from three rivers in the Arkansas River basin: the Arkansas, Chikaskia, and Ninnescah. Fish were sampled from three sites on each river on nine collection dates throughout 1984 and 1985. Totals of 2100 fish and 6000 fish were included in electrophoretic and demographic analyses, respectively. The results of the study indicate that within a limited geographic region (i.e. within rivers) spatial differences and temporal changes in both demographic and genetic population characteristics occur frequently and are primarily stochastic. However, on a larger spatial scale (i.e. across rivers), general trends emerge for demographic and especially for genetic population characteristics. These results illustrate the importance of sampling scale for conclusions of life-history evolution in fluctuating environments. In addition, it was found that regulation of Fundulus zebrinus populations includes an important density-independent component. Stochastic demographic differences across space and changes through time and spatially and temporally heterogeneous allele frequencies, are both indicative of density-independent regulation. Variation in population parameters, both demographic and genetic, was observed between populations sampled from each river. These population differences were attributed to differences between the rivers themselves.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic basis of interpopulational differences in the pheromone blend emitted by the cabbage looper moth,Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), was examined by crossing individuals from a field-derived population (P1) with individuals from a long-maintained laboratory colony (P2). These colonies differed in the emission rate and relative proportions of four of the five known minor pheromone components, but not in the emission rate of the major component, (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7-12∶Ac). These differences in pheromone blend were quantitatively small but biologically significant, because in the field, males responded preferentially to traps baited with a pheromone blend that is similar to that emitted by P1 females relative to a blend similar to that emitted by P2 females. In initial crosses, variation in the quantity and quality of pheromone blends among families of P1, P2, and F1 hybrid females was examined. In F1 females the relative proportions (quantity relative to the major component) of (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate (Z5-12∶Ac) and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate (Z7-14∶Ac) were intermediate to parental lines. In a second more extensive set of crosses, analyses included P1, P2, F1, F2, and selected backcrosses. The relative proportion of Z5-12∶Ac, Z7-14∶Ac, and Z9-14∶Ac emitted by F1 females were intermediate to parental lines. The frequency distributions of relative proportions of these components emitted by females were not consistent with those expected under a single autosomal or sex-linked gene hypothesis, suggesting that more than one gene is involved in the quantitative differences in the pheromone blend.

    Notes: Summary The inheritance of resistance in cauliflower to stalk rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary) was investigated in population from six generations of six crosses. Disease incidence was recorded on 4 parents, 6 Fs 1, 6 Fs 2 and 12 back-crosses in a screenhouse under artificially created epiphytotic conditions. Resistance to stalk rot in this set of parents was found to be polygenic and under the control of recessive genes and due primarily to additive gene action. A breeding strategy emphasizing recurrent selection should lead to improvement in resistance.

In contrast, replacement of the prop-2-enyl (R = H) by a 2-methylprop-2-enyl (R = Me) side chain causes a change in the tricyclo[3.3.1.02,7]nonan-6-one 4 vs. tricyclo[4.2,1.03,8]nonan-7-one (5) product ratio from 100:0 (R = H) to roughly 2:1 (R = Me) but has almost no bearing on the relative rates of conversion of 1 to products. For C(6)-unsubstituted enones 1aa and 1ba (X = H), the efficiency of cyclization becomes low enough so that lumiketone rearrangement to bicyclohexanones 6 and 3-isopropylcyclopent-2-enones 9 becomes competitive. Enones 9 undergo consecutive intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition to tricyclo[3.2.1.03,6]octan-2-ones 7 and to tricyclo[3.2.1.03,6]octan-7-ones 8, compounds 8 only being formed when R = Me.

    Notes: Substituent, Heteroatom, and Solvent Effects on the Thermal-Bleaching Kinetics and Absorption Spectra of Photomerocyanines Issued from Spiro[indoline-oxazines]Quantitative information useful for the development of new photochromic systems is obtained from the study of heteroatom and substituent effects on the thermal-bleaching kinetics and the absorption spectra of the photomerocyanines issued from spiro[indoline-oxazines]. The effect on photochromic properties of the presence of N-atoms either in the dimethine bridge or in the aromatic rings has been investigated through the comparison of spiro[indoline-naphthopyrans] C with spiro[indoline-naphthoxazines] A and with spiro[indoline-quinolinoxazines] B. Besides the occurrence of biexponential thermal-bleaching kinetics in non-polar solvents is observed: a tentative explanation for this observation is given which involves the formation, in either sequential or parallel steps, of energetically distinct stereoisomers of the opened form.

    Notes: The kinetics of the electron transfer between reduced spinach [2Fe-2S]-ferredoxin and the optically active complexes [Co((R,R)- or (S,S)-alamp)py]+ (I), [Co((R,R)- or (S,S)-promp)H2O]+ (IIa), and [Co((R,R)- or (S,S)-promp)py]+ (IIb) have been investigated. The reactions are stereoselective, and for I and IIa, the Stereoselectivity strongly depends on temperature due to large differences in the activation enthalpy between enantiomeric reagents. Isokinetic behaviour is observed between enantiomers, the ΔΔHΔ-Λ# values being largely compensated by the ΔΔSΔ-Λ# values. The compensation behaviour is explained by the combination of stereochemical interactions and desolvation processes on formation of the precursor complex or the transition state.

    Notes: A stereocontrolled synthetic route to optically pure (-)-(S)-ipsenol (1), the pheromone of Pityokteines curvidens and various other bark-beetle species is described. Key step of the synthesis is an enantioselective aldol reaction using a chiral titanium-carbohydrate complex (Scheme 1). The carboxylate function of the optically pure β-hydroxy acid 5 thus obtained in mol quantities is then elaborated to the diene moiety by standard methodology (Scheme 2).

    Notes: A series of 5-substituted (-)-(S)-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-diniethoxybenzanndes were made by reaction of the corresponding benzoyl chlorides with (S)-1-ethylpyrrolidine-2-methylaruine (→ 14-16, 18-21). The acids required were prepared in a regiospecific manner from 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid which was protected as dihydrooxazole (→ 4-8), metalated, reacted with various electrophiles (MeI, EtI, BuBr, CC13CCl3 or MeSSMe), and hydrolyzed (→9-13). Alternatively, (-)-(S)-5-bromo-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-di-methoxybenzamide was treated with KH followed by BuLi and an electrophile (I2 or Me3SiCl) to give the 5-iodo and 5-(trimethylsilyl) derivatives 17 and 22, respectively. All 5-substituted amides were highly potent inhibitors of [3H]spiperone binding in rat striatal membranes with IC50 values of 0.5 to 5 nM (Table 3). Thus, a relatively large steric bulk can be accomodated in the position para to the 2-MeO group. This work also supports the notion that a positive as well as negative electrostatic potential can be located in this position. A selected number of derivatives were also investigated in vivo and found to inhibit apomorphine-induced behavioural responses in the same dose range as haloperidol and raclopride (Table 4). This new group of benzamides is suitable for investigations of dopamine D-2 receptors in labelled or unlabelled form.

    Notes: Chiral ligands coordinated to metal ions exert a selectivity towards the additional coordination of racemic substrates. Experimentally determined equilibria distributions of [Co(L3)2]3+ and [Co(L3)(L2)(X)]n+ are compared with calculated data based on strain-energy minimization (L3: trap = propane-1,2,3-triamine; 1,2,4-trab = butane-1,2,4-triamine; 1,2,3-trab = butane-1,2,3-triamine; 1,3,4-trpe = pentane-1,3,4-triamine; 1,3,4-tmeb = 2-methylbutane-1,3,4-triamine; 1,2,4-trpe = pentane-1,2,4-triamine; L2: en = ethane-1,2-diamine; pn = propane-1,2-diamine; X: NH3, OH2, OH-). Equilibration of Co(III) complexes was achieved by oxygenation of aqueous solutions of Co(II) salts in presence of the ligands. Quantitative isomer distribution was investigated with HPLC, and quantitative analysis of the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the racemic substrate (present in a two-fold excess) was studied, after chromatographical recovery, by 1H-NMR analysis of its Mosher-acid derivative. There is good agreement between calculated and experimental data. Systems with L = 1,2,4-trab are, as expected, relatively poorly discriminating (ee([Co(1,2,4-trab)2]3+) ∼ 5%; ee([Co(1,2,4-trab)(pn)(X)]n+) ∼ 10%). Calculations indicate that Me substitution of the ligand backbone of 1,2,4-trab (and trap) leads to an increased enantioselectivity (with practically constant isomer selectivity), and at the optimum site for substitution ∼ 90% ee is predicted.

    Notes: The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1a-c and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (picramic acid, 2) in MeCN at 0° to room temperature leads to a mixture of the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2-one 5, 3-(dimethylamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazoline 6, 2-(1-aminoalkyl)-1,3-benzoxazole 7, and N-[2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-α-aminocarboxamide 8 (Scheme 3). Under the same conditions, 3-(N-methyl-N-phenyl-amino)-2H-azirines 1d and 1e react with 2 to give exclusively the 1,3-benzoxazole derivative 7. The structure of the products has been established by X-ray crystallography. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of 7 are discussed in Scheme 6. Treatment of 7 with phenyl isocyanate, 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride, tosyl chloride, and HCl leads to a derivatization of the NH2-group of 7 (Scheme 4). With NaOH or NaOMe as well as with morpholine, 7 is transformed into quinazoline derivatives 5, 14, and 15, respectively, via ring expansion (Scheme 5). In case of the reaction with morpholine, a second product 16, corresponding to structure 8, is isolated. With these results, the reaction of 1 and 2 is interpreted as the primary formation of 7, which, under the reaction conditions, reacts with Me2NH to yield the secondary products 5, 6, and 8 (Scheme 7).

    Notes: The intramolecular cycloaddition of the previously described azidoalkene 16, the related diacetates 7 and 13, and the monoacetate 8 led diastereoselectivity to the (2R)- and (2S)-configurated hydropyridotriazoles 17, 9 and 11, 14 and 15, and 10 and 12, respectively (Scheme 1). Thermolysis of 16 gave also the aziridine 18, its proportion increasing with reaction time. The diastereoselectivity of the cycloaddition- is rationalized on the basis of steric interactions and of H—bonds in the transition state. Photolysis in benzene partially transformed 9 into the aziridine 19. Treatment of 9 with aqueous AcOH gave 19 and the tetrahydrofuran 20, with AcOH in benzene 20 and the triacetate 23, and with aqueous H2SO4 in THF, the primary alcohol 22 (room temperature) or 19 and 22 (0°). Deacetylation of 9 followed by reaction with pyridinium hydrochloride led to the tetrahydrofuran 21 and the chloride 24 (Scheme 2). The diacetate 22 and the triacetate 23 gave the tripl 25 which was deprotected to 26. Reduction of the keto-aziridine 18 (NaBH4) gave the alcohols 27 and 29 which were acetylated to give 28 and 19, respectively (Scheme 3). Treatment of the aziridine 28 with AcOH in benzene followed by deacetylation gave 30 and hence 31. AcOH in benzene transformed the triazoline 15 first into the aziridine 32 and hence into 33, which was deprotected to give the triol 34 and hence 35. The 2-(hydroxymethyl)piperidines 26, 31, and 35 inhibited Vibrio cholerae sialidase with K1 = 3.8 · 10-2 M, 3.4 · 10-3 M, and 1.5 · 10-4 M, respectively. The conformation of the glycerol side chain of these compounds and of the unbranched piperidines 2-4 deviates from the one of Neu5Ac (and Neu2en5Ac). This finding is rationalized by an H-bond between OH—C(8) and NH—C(6). The conformations and the K1 values of 26, 31, and 35 correlate with each other.

A reaction mechanism proceeding via ring enlargement of the bicyclic zwitterion A to give B, followed by transannular ring contraction to C, is proposed for the formation of 3. This mechanism is in accordance with the result of the reaction of 2a and the 15N-labelled 1a*: in the isolated product 3a*, only N(3) is labelled (Scheme 1). The analogous reaction of 1 and 1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione (5) is more complex (Schemes 4 and 5, Table 2). Besides the expected 3, 4-dihydro-3-(2-mercaptoacetyl)-2H-imidazol-2-ones 7, 5-amino-3, 4-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ones of type 8 and/or N-(1, 4-thiazin-2-ylidene)ureas 9 are formed. In the case of 2-(dimethylamino)-1-azaspiro[2. 3]hex-1-ene (1d), the postulated eight-membered intermediate 6d could be isolated. Its structure as well as that of 9f has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. A reaction mechanism for the formation of the 1, 4-thiazine derivatives of type 9 is proposed in Scheme 6.

    Notes: The stereochemical outcome of the base-catalyzed cyclization of diketones 5-8 has been investigated under protic conditions (Scheme 3). The more stable trans-fused ketols are preferentially formed in kinetically controlled aldol reactions, when the incipient angular substituent R = H (6 → 10a) or CN (7 → 11a, 8a → 12a). For R = Me (as in 5), axial attack of the side-chain enolate double bond on the ring C≡O group results in the rather selective formation of cis-9b. It is assumed that these cyclizations are controlled by relative product stabilities (product-like transition state) and steric effects. The competition between fused (e.g. 9) and bridged ketol (e.g. 13) formation in these cyclizations is discussed. The cis-fused (‘steroid’) ketols were readily equilibrated with their trans-counterparts (9b ⇄ 9a, 10b ⇄ 10a, 11b ⇄ 11a) under aprotic conditions (5 mol-% of LDA, THF, 0°), thus, allowing assessments of relative stabilities.

    Notes: The photo-oxygenation of adamantylideneadamantane (1) on siliceous supports using admixed granules of ion-exchange resin fixed to methylene blue (MB) and rose bengal (RB) gave exclusively the corresponding dioxetane derivative 2 for the former sensitizer, while the latter gave 2 and traces of the epoxide 3. RB and the charge-transfer complex produced from N-ethylcarbazole and 2,4,5,6-tetranitrofluoren-9-one both reacted with chemically generated singlet oxygen to give superoxide radical anion. Trapping of the latter with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide gave an adduct exhibiting a characteristic ESR spectrum. The treatment of 1 in MeOH with 30% aqueous H2O2 for 22 h at 60° gave 3 in 100% yield. Repetition of this experiment in the presence of 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-p-cresol caused no significant change. These results indicate that singlet oxygen reacts with 1, in the presence of RB, by two different processes. The first leads to dioxetane formation. The second process involves conversion of singlet oxygen by RB to superoxide radical anion which subsequently gives H2O2 so producing epoxide 3 from 1.

    Notes: Benzobenzvalene (naphthvalene; 1) is shown to add SO2 to a lateral bicyclobutane bond with formation of a sulfone 2 and a ‘γ-sultine’ 3. The structure of the latter is unambiguously established by X-ray diffraction. Both adducts extrude SO2 upon direct photolysis at 254 nm and regenerate 1 accompanied by naphthalene in a 1:3 ratio. This result is interpreted in terms of a reversible homolytic cleavage leading, for both, 2 and 3, to the same sulfinyloxy biradical 5, which by loss of SO2 gives the benzoprefulvene biradical 6. The latter in its singlet state undergoes ring closure to 1, or it opens to give naphthalene.

    Notes: Phenol, 4-methoxyphenol, 4-nitrophenol, methyl orsellinate (1), and 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol (BHT; 2) have been glycosylated by thermal reaction (20-60°) with various glycosylidene-derived diazirines.4-Methoxyphenol reacted with the D-glucosylidene-derived diazirine 3 to give O-glucosides (4 and 5, 69%, 3:1) and C-glucosides (6 and 7, 16%, 1:1). Similarly, phenol yielded O-glucosides (10 and 11, 70%, 4:1) and C-glucosides (12 and 13, 13%, 1:1). 4-Nitrophenol gave only O-glycosides, 3 leading to 14 and 15 (75%, 3:2; Scheme 1), and the D-galactosylidene-derived diazirine 17 to 22 and 23 (52% (from 16), 65:35; Scheme 2). The reaction of phenol with 17 yielded 58% (from 16) of the O-galactosides 18 and 19 (4:1) and 14% of the C-galactosides 20 and 21 (1:1). From the D-mannosylidene-derived diazirine 25, we predominantly obtained the α-D-configurated 26 (38 % from 24). These results are interpreted by assuming that an intermediate (presumably a glycosylidene carbene) first deprotonates the phenol to generate an ion pair which combines to give O- and - with electron-rich phenolates - also C-glycosides. A competition experiment of 3 with 4-nitro- and 4-methoxyphenol gave the products from the former (14 and 15) and the latter phenol (4-7) in almost equal amounts. Differences in the kinetic acidity of OH groups, however, may form the basis of a regioselective glycosidation, as evidenced by the reaction of 3 with methyl orsellinate (1) yielding exclusively the 4-O-monoglycosylated products 27 and 28 (78%, 85:15), although diglycosidation is possible (27→ 31 and 32; 67%, 4:3; Scheme 3). Steric hindrance does not affect this type of glycosidation; 3 reacted with the hindered BHT (2) to afford 33 and 34 (81 %, 4:1). The predominant formation of 1,2-trans -configurated O-aryl glycosides is rationalized by a neighbouring-group participation of the 2-benzyloxy group.

    Notes: The fundamental molecular aspects of trialkyltin compounds of the type R3SnY have been investigated in view of their applicability as ion-selective components in solvent polymeric membranes. The interaction between these compounds and anions has been studied using 119Sn- and 13C-NMR. Neutral tetracoordinated trialkyltin compounds form a negatively charged pentacoordinated complex upon interaction with Cl-ions in homogeneous organic phases as well as in membranes in contact with aqueous solutions. Although in a homogeneous phase, the electronegative substituent Y determines the complex-formation constant, it has no influence on the potentiometric anion selectivity in liquid membranes containing trialkyltin carriers R3SnY with different Y. The observed selectivity pattern is not given by the magnitude of the stability constants in a homogeneous phase but is dictated by the prevailing association-dissociation process leading to tetracoordinated compounds which change in constitution due to varying sample composition, The results obtained from equilibrium studies of tetravalent mono tin compounds with anions in both homogeneous phase and in two-phase systems confirm the earlier hypothesis that trialkyltin compounds incorporated in solvent polymeric membranes act as electrically neutral carriers for anions.

    Notes: High-level ab initio calculations have been made for fluoromethylamine to study structural and energetic effects of the relative orientation of the N lone pair to the C—F bond. The anti-conformer (N lone pair anti-planar to the C—F bond) corresponds to the global energy minimum. It has the longest C—F distance, the shortest C—N distance, and is 7.5 kcal·mol-1 more stable than the related perpendicular conformation (lone pair perpendicular to the C—F bond). The syn-conformation also shows hallmarks of the anomeric effect: long C—F bond, short C—N bond, and energetic stability when allowance is made for the two pairs of eclipsed hydrogens. The transition state for N inversion is close to the syn-structure; rotation about the C—N bond is strongly coupled with this inversion process. Small bond distance changes of ca. 0.02 Å between parallel and perpendicular conformations are associated with dissociation energy differences of ca. 30 kcal·mol-1. Various criteria for assessing the strength of the anomeric effect are discussed.

    Notes: Flavonoid disaccharide monoglycosides have been acylated by the catalytic action of the protease subtilisin in anhydrous pyridine. The effects of the nature of the sugars and of the interglycosidic bonds on the regioselectivity of the reactions have been analyzed. The selectivity was excellent with rutin (1), hesperidin (2), naringin (6), and quercetin 3-O-[O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnoside] (9), giving single monoesters on their glucose moieties (see la, 2a, 6a, and 9b, resp.); quite interestingly, in the last compound, acylation did not occur at the free primary OH group but at the secondary OH—C(3‴). On the other hand, a mixture of mono- and diesters was obtained with the flavonoid peltatoside (7).

    Notes: 4-Hydroxycoumarin (= 4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) reacts with enals to give 1,2- or 1,4-addition products, depending on the nature and relative location of the substituents on the olefinic double bond (Scheme 2). The resulting adducts further react intra- or intermolecularly, affording dimeric coumarins or pyranocoumarins in the case of 1,2-addition and acetalic pyranocoumarins in the case of 1,4-addition. With enals bearing alkyl groups at C(β), 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]coumarins are the only products formed, and the reaction represents an easy and straightforward entry into this class of recently described biologically active natural products.

    Notes: The synthesis of several configurationally defined hydroxymilbemycin derivatives is described. One of these allylic alcohols is the known 5-O-[(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl]-13α-hydroxymilbemycin D (= 5-O-[(tert-butyl)-dimethylsilyl]-22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b, aglycone; 15D), the synthesis of which represents LI conversion of the milbemycin to the avermectin series of natural products. The configurations at C(13), C(14), and C(15) of the new milbemycin derivatives were determined by NMR experiments and force-field calculations.

    Notes: The four possible A/B cis-fused diastereoisomers of Ambrox® have been synthesized and their configurations and conformations established by X-ray and NMR analysis. Only 5β-ambrox (= 1,2,3a,4,5,5β,6,7,8,9,9a,9bα-dodecahydro-3aβ,6,6,9aβ-tetramethylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan; 5) has an odor quality comparable to Ambrox®. The 1,3-synperiplanar/diaxial conformation of the substituents at C(8) ( = C(3a)) and C(10) (= C(9a)) has thus been confirmed to be a compulsory structure element for the particular odor.

    Notes: The substituted 2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones of type II and III have been prepared by acid-catalyzed cyclization of the corresponding substituted acetylenic ketones I in good to excellent yields (Scheme 1). These 2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones II and III have been used for the in situ preparation of highly reactive dienes of type IV-VI (Scheme 2) in carbonyl-alkyne exchange reactions with electron-poor alkynes VII to yield the highly substituted aromatic compounds VIII and IX. These reactions proceed in good yields and with excellent degree of regioselectivity. Aryl-substituted 2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones III (R1 = Ar) subsequently yield highly substituted biaryls. Reaction mechanisms are presented for the formation of the 2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones as well as for the carbonyl-alkyne exchange reactions with electron-poor acetylenes.

    Notes: The crystal and molecular structure of bis[dinitrato-(2,4,8,15,18,21-hexaoxatricyclo[20.4.0.09,14]hexacosane)europium(III)]pentakis(nitrato)europiate(III) [Eu(NO3)2LB]2([Eu(NO3)5]), has been determined at 170 K from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (ITC No. 14): a = 16.338(3) Å, b = 15.704(3) Å, c = 24.474(4) Å, β = 97.73(1)°, Z = 4. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.058 (Rw = 0.060). The asymmetric unit contains three independent ions lying on general positions: [Eu(NO3)5]2- and two distinct [Eu(NO3)2LB]+ cations with the macrocyclic ligand in the cis-anti-cis conformation (B-isomer). The EuIIIions are 10-coordinate with the following mean bond lengths: Eu-O(nitrate) = 2.48(2) Å in the anion and 2.45(2) Å in the two cations, Eu-O(ether) = 2.56(8) and 2.55(5) Å. Small but significant differences are observed between the two complex cations, especially with respect to the positions of the cyclohexyl substituent. A conformational analysis performed on the six O-atoms of the complex cations confirms the predictions of a simple model. The metal ion sites of the complex have been probed by high-resolution excitation and emission spectra at 296 and 77 K. The 5D0←7F0 excitation spectrum displays two main bands along with several other minor components. A detailed analysis of the corresponding and selectively excited emission spectra leads to the observation of three types of spectra corresponding to the three crystallographically different EuIII ions. Moreover, three minor sites are identified, one anionic and two cationic, with a population equal to ca. 10% of the population of the main sites. We interpret this finding as reflecting the presence of molecules with slightly different conformations.

    Notes: The C2-symmetrical chiral pyrrolidines 2 and 3 are of opposite helicity. The corresponding N-acylnitroso dienophiles 6 and 7 react in good yield with cyclohexadiene, leading thereby with excellent diastereoisomeric excess to the expected Diels-Alder cycloadducts (see Scheme). The [2.2.2] bicyclic moieties of the major diastereoisomers 9 and 11 proved to be of opposite configuration, as expected. Their configuration is best explained by assuming the acylnitroso dienophile to be in the s-cis conformation in the transition state, the approach of the diene being endo (see Fig.).

    Notes: An enzyme is extracted from the red peel of Amanita muscaria which cleaves the C(2)-C(3) and the C(4)-C(5) bond of the aromatic ring of L-dopa (1) to form a mixture of 4,5-secodopa (= salt of 6-amino-2-hydroxy-4-(2′-oxoethylidene)hept-2-enedioic acid; 2) and 2,3-secodopa ( = salt of 7-amino-5-formyl-2-hydroxyocta-2,4-dienedioic acid; 3), two hitherto hypothetical biosynthetic intermediates (see Scheme). Though isolation of these products has not been possible, structural evidence is inferred from reaction products, kinetics, and spectroscopical characteristics in comparison with known compounds. Secodopas 2 and 3 are characterized in dilute solution by HPLC and UV/VIS spectroscopy (anions; λmax 424 and 414 nm, resp., ∊420 = 25500; on acidification, shift to 380 and 372 nm, resp.). They cyclize without enzyme catalysis, optimally at pH 4.5-5; 3 produces muscaflavin (5) and 2 betalamic acid (4). The products arc identified by direct comparison with authentic samples in HPLC, by 1H-NMR of 5, and by condensation of 4 with L-proline to form the well known betalain indicaxanthin (7). The enzymatic conversion of L-dopa (1) via 2 to betalamic acid (4; (S)) and its condensation with L-proline leads to pure natural indicaxanthin (7; (2S,115)); correspondingly, the enzymatic conversion of D-dopa to (R)-betalamic acid and its condensation with L-proline produces isoindicaxanthin ((2S,11R)) which is unknown in nature. Particularly relevant is the fact that the same enzyme cleaves pyrocatechol to produce a solution of the enolate form of the known 2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate (secopyrocatechol; 9; see Fig. 5). Dissociation constants of the corresponding enolic functions in the cleavage products are determined by spectrometric titration and compared to those of known systems.

Dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of 1a-c gave the 1:1 adducts 5a-c of the corresponding 3,8a-epidioxy-3,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one 4 and H2O, whereas 1d gave 3,9a-epidioxy-1,3,5,6,7,8,9,9a-octahydro-2H-cyclohepta[b]pyrazin-2-one 4d (Scheme 2). The different kind of products was interpreted as being the result of the ring strain and steric hindrance of endoperoxides produced from 1a-d with singlet oxygen. Irradiation of 1a-b in the presence of alkenes gave tricyclic azetidine derivatives 9 by [2 + 2] cycloaddition of the C=N bond of 1 to the alkene.

    Notes: The piperidines 12-18, piperidmose analogues of Neu5Ac (1) with a shortened side chain, were synthesized from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine via the azidoalkene 32 and tested as inhibitors of Vibrio cholerae sialidase. Deoxygenation at C(4) of the uronate 22, obtained from the known D-GlcNAc derivative 20, was effected by β-elimination (→ 23), exchange of the AcO at C(3) with a (t-Bu)Me2SiO group and hydrogenation (→ 26; Scheme 1). Chain extension of 26 by reaction with Me3SiCH2MgCl gave the D-ido-dihydroxysilane 28, which was transformed into the unsaturated L-xylo-mesylate 29 and further into the L-lyxo-alcohol 30, the mesylate 31, and the L-xylo-azide 32. The derivatives 29-31 prefer a sickle zig-zag and 32 mainly an extended zig-zag conformation (Fig. 2). The piperidinecarboxylate 15 was obtained from 32 by ozonolysis (→ 33), intramolecular reductive animation (→ 34), and deprotection, while reductive animation of 34 with glycolaldehyde (→ 35) and deprotection gave 16 (Scheme 2). An intramolecular azide-olefin cycloaddition of 32 yielded exclusively the fused dihydrotriazole 36, while the lactone 39 did not cyclize (Scheme 3). Treatment of 36 with AcOH (→ 37) followed by hydrolysis (→ 38) and deprotection led to the amino acid 18. To prepare the (hydroxymethyl)piperidinecarboxylates 12 and 17, 32 was first dihydroxylated (Scheme 4). The L-gluco-diol 40 was obtained as the major product, in agreement with Kishi's rule. Silylation of 40 (→ 42), oxidation with periodinane (→ 44), and reductive animation gave the L-gluco-piperidine 45. It was, on the one hand, deprotected to the amino acid 12 and, on the other hand, N-phenylated (→ 46) and deprotected to 17. While 45 and 12 adopt a 2C5 conformation, the analogous N-Ph derivatives 46 and 17 adopt a 5C2 and a B3,6 conformation, respectively, on account of the allylic 1,3-strain. The conformational effects of this 1,3-strain are also evident in the carbamate 47, obtained from 45 (Scheme 5), and in the C(2)-epimerized bicyclic ether 48, which was formed upon treatment of 47 with (diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (DAST). Fluorination of 40 with DAST (→ 49) followed by treatment with AcOH led to the D-ido-fluorohydrin 50. Oxidation of 50 (→ 51) followed by a Staudinger reaction and reduction with NaBH3CN afforded the (fluoromethyl)piperidine 52, while reductive amination of 51 with H2/Pd led to the methylpiperidine 55, which was similarly obtained from the keto tosylate 54 and from the dihydrotriazole 36. Deprotection of 52 and 55 gave the amino acids 13 and 14, respectively. The aniline 17 does not inhibit V. cholerae sialidase; the piperidines 12-16 and 18 are weak inhibitors, evidencing the importance of an intact 1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl side chain.

    Notes: Synthesis of Monomorin I, a Trail Pheromone of the Pharao Ant (Monomorium pharaonis)Katalytic hydrogenation of the 4-nitroalkanone 5 yielded the cis-pyrrolidine ester 6 (Scheme). The preparation of 5 was accomplished by ethanolysis of the nitrocyclohexanone derivative 4. Iodination at C(α) of 6, followed by cyclization, gave a nearly 5:6 mixture of the two C(5)-epimers 10/9 of octahydroindolizine. Epimerisation of the undesired 10 to 9 and subsequent transformation of the latter gave racemic monomorine I (1; 34% yield from 5).

    Notes: Crystal Structure of a Thiazolorifamycine: Rifamycine PThe crystal structure of a natural thiazolorifamycin, rifamycin P, as an adduct with EtOH and H2O, has been determined by X-ray crystallography by a combination of direct methods and Patterson techniques. Block-diagonal least-squares refinement using 5996 independent reflections and 1475 parameters led to an R factor of 0.092 (two independent molecules of rifamycin P). The middle part of the ansa chain, essential for activity against the bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DDRP) resembles that of active rifamycins. The four OH groups lie on the same side of the molecule and are almost in the same plane. Interatomic distances between the O-atoms agree well with a spatial model derived from X-ray studies, performed on semisynthetic active rifamycins.

    Notes: Oximes are used in the therapy of organophosphate poisoning. They form an interaction product with the organophosphate which is claimed to be more toxic than the organophosphate itself. We have synthesized one of these compounds which would be formed by the reaction of pyridine-4-carbaldehyde oxime methiodide with sarin (GB). Thus, reaction of oxime 1 with sarin chloridate (2), yielded 4-{{[(isopropyloxy)methylphosphoryloxy]-imino}methyl}-1-methylpyridinium iodide (4) which was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

    Notes: Aphelandrine (1) is shown to be biosynthesized in the root cells of Aphelandra tetragona (VAHL) NEES from labelled putrescine (4), spermidine (5), and cinnamic acid (3). Whether spermine (6) and the (p-hydroxycinnamoyl)spermidine 8 are precursors of 1 is uncertain, since the latter is hydrolysed to a large extent before incorporation, and the former is metabolized to 4 and 5. Methionine (7) is the source of the 3-aminopropyl unit of 5 and 6.

    Notes: Thermolysis of the glycosylidene-derived O-benzylated diazirine 1 in the presence of N-phenylmaleimide (2), acrylonitrile (3), dimethyl fumarate (4), or dimethyl maleate (5) led in good yields to mixtures of the spirocyclopropanes 6/7, 8-11, 12/13, and 12/13/16/17. The diastereoselectivity depends upon the alkene. The cycloaddition of 1 to 5 is not diastereospecific, in keeping with previous results. Deprotection of 12, 13, 16, and 17 yielded the tetrols 14,15, 18, and 19, respectively.

    Notes: The course of solid-phase peptide-coupling reactions as well as the swelling properties of a peptide-resin are influenced by the addition of inorganic salts (LiCl, LiBr, LiClO4, KSCN). Used as additives, these salts can (i) improve coupling yields (e.g., for Fmoc-(Ala)5-Phe-resin → Fmoc-(AIa)6-Phe-resin in DMF/CH2Cl2 1:1 from 89.4 to 97.1% (for polyethylene oxide) on polystyrene (= PEO-PS) resin) or from 77.5 to 93.8% (for poly-(N,N′-dimethylacrylamide) on ‘Kieselgur’ (=PDMAA-KG) resin) without and with 0.4M LiCl, respectively), (ii) increase resin swelling (e.g. for Fmoc-(Ala)5-Phe-(polystyrene resin) from 2.42- to 5.73-fold in 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (=NMP) without and with LiCl, (respectively), and (iii) change coupling rates. Example;; of coupling reactions and swelling behaviour (degree and rate) in different solvents (DMF, DMF/CH2Cl2 1:1, THF, NMP, N,N-dimethylpropyleneurea (= DMPU) with and without salts) using different resins (polystyrene (PS); PEO-PS, and PDMAA-KG) and an improved analysis of alanine oligomers up to Ala12-Phe by HPLC and FAB-MS are reported.

    Notes: The rearrangement of methyl 2-(methylthio)benzenesulfonate (1) to the zwitterionic 2-(dimethyl-sulfonium)benzenesulfonate (2) is known to proceed in solution by intermolecular Me transfers. The same rearrangement has been observed to occur in crystalline 1, but the crystal structure shows that the molecular packing is not conducive to intermolecular Me transfer. The reaction has been carried out with mixed crystals composed of 1 and deuteriomethylated (D6)-l. By fast-atom-bombardment mass spectroscopy, it has been shown that the product consists of a 1:2:1 mixture of the non-, tri-, and hexadeuterated species, the mixture expected, if the solid-state reaction proceeds by intermolecular Me transfers. From this result, together with the slower rates of conversion in the single crystal compared with the melt, it can be concluded that the reaction must occur not topochemically but rather at defects such as microcavities, surfaces, and other irregularities in the ordered crystal arrangement.

    Notes: 1-(2′-Deoxy-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)thymine (= 1-(2′-deoxy-β-D-xylofuranosyl)thymine; xTd; 2) was converted into its phosphonate 3b as well as its 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite 3c. Both compounds were used for solid-phase synthesis of d[(xT)12-T] (5), representing the first DNA fragment build up from 3′-5′-linked 2′-deoxy--β-D-xylonucleosides. Moreover, xTd was introduced into the innermost part of the self-complementary dodecamer d(G-T-A-G-A-A-xT-xT-C-T-A-C)2 (9). The CD spectrum of d[(xT)12-T] (5) exhibits reversed Cotton effects compared to d(T12) (6; see Fig. 1), implying a left-handed single strand. With d(A12) (7) it could be hybridized to form a propably Left-handed double strand d(A12) · d[(xT)12-T] (7·5) which was confirmed by melting experiments in combination with temperature-dependent CD spectroscopy. While 5 was hydrolyzed by snake-venom phosphodiesterase, it was resistant towards calf-spleen phosphodiesterase. The modified, self-complementary duplex 9 was hydrolyzed completely by snake-venom phosphodiesterase, at a twelvefold slower rate compared to unmodified 8; calf-spleen phosphodiesterase hydrolyzed 9 only partially.

    Notes: Temperature-dependent 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra reveal that polyhalogenated marine β-chamigrenes or synthetic derivatives thereof which are trans-diequatorially, substituted at C(8) and C(9), such as rogiolol ((-)-2), obtusol ((+)-3), and their acetates (+)-1 and (-)-4, undergo slow ring-A chair-chair inversion. Conformational equilibria and kinetics are investigated with the aid of synthetic model compounds and molecular-mechanics calculations. Thus, steric repulsions between Brax-C(2) and Heq-C(7) are seen to disfavour thermodynamically conformers 1b, 2b, 3b, and 4b, which can only be detected through cross-saturation transfer, while additional steric repulsions between Meax-C(1) and OHax-C(3) make conformer 8b of obtusol epimer so scarcely populated that it can not be detected. In agreement, with (+)-9 and (+)-10, which have a trigonal C(2), two conformers can be directly observed by NMR. The kinetic barriers, which are seen to arise mainly from steric repulsions between Hax-C(14) and the axial H or halogen atoms at C(8) and C(10), are calculated and discussed with respect to well documented exocycliemethylidene-substituted cyclohexane(ene) systems. This helps to rationalize why in rogiolol acetate ((+)-1) ring B is unusually inert towards Zn/Et2O/AcOH which causes bromohydrine-group elimination from ring A.

    Notes: The synthesis of quinic acid (4) via epoxide 13, starting from shikimic acid (5), is described (Scheme 1). Treatment of 13 with thiophenol yielded not only 17, but also the γ-lactones 18 and 19 as result of migration of silyl groups within a cis- and trans-diol system. The conversion provides a direct stereoselective epoxidation of a shikimic-acid derivative as well as an alternative pathway for the preparation of 4. A shorter approach via the disilylated epoxide 22 was unsuccessful because the γ-lactone 25 was obtained in place of the desired α-hydroxy ester 24 (Scheme 2).

Biochemical characterization of these (3′-5′)phosphorothioate analogues of adenyiate trimer indicate that these compounds, and the corresponding 5′-monophosphates, neither bind to nor activate RNase L, and are considered to be valuable control compounds in screening experiments.

    Notes: The crystal structures of four inclusion compounds of 2,6-dimethylideneadamantane-1,3,5,7-tetracarboxylic acid (4) are described, which involve the following guest species: (a) a mixture of 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one, 2,6-dimethylhepta-2,5-dien-4-one, and mesitylene (condensation products of acetone); (b) mesitylene; (c) a mixture of 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one and mesitylene; (d) (tert-butyl)benzene. In all four cases, the host architectures consist of two interpenetrating super-diamond networks built up by the tetra-acid molecules via pairwise H-bonds between the tetrahedrally directed COOH groups. In the first three cases (tetragonal crystal symmetry), the two diamond-like host lattices interpenetrate symmetrically, in the fourth case (monoclinic) asymmetrically. This asymmetry is brought about by the increased steric bulk of the (tert-butyl)benzene guest molecules. Attempts to enforce an inclusion compound of 4 with a single, extremely hollow diamond-like host lattice by offering still bulkier guest molecules have as yet not been met with success. The generally very high propensity of 4 to form inclusion compounds was envisaged and designed beforehand by appropriate evaluation and modulation of the crystal structure of the parent adamantane-1,3,5,7-tetracarboxylic acid, which represents a fivefold diamond-like self-inclusion compound. Crystals of the free, uncomplexed 4 appear to be extremely unstable and could so far not be obtained. On the other hand, from aqueous solution a very stable monohydrate of 4 may be crystallized (4-H2O), which was also subjected to X-ray analysis. The (triclinic) crystal structure of 4·H2O involves an interesting dichotomy inasmuch its pattern of H-bonding may be rationalized either in terms of a double, cross-linked super-zincblende (sphalerite) architecture, or as a system of porous, puckered 4-connected sheets, which interpenetrate each other pairwise and are cross-linked by the H2O molecules. Various structure and (space group) symmetry characteristics of the supramolecular solid-state complexes reported here are highlighted by pointing out analogies with comparable structures retrieved from the literature.

    Notes: As the root bark CH2Cl2 extract of Bauhinia rufescens showed antifungal activity in a bioassay with the plant pathogenic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum, a phytochemical investigation was undertaken on material collected in Niger. Activity-guided fractionation of this extract, using different preparative chromatographic methods, allowed the isolation of the four new antifungal tetracyclic compounds 1-4. Their structures were established by 1H- and 13C-NMR data, and single-crystal X-ray analyses were used to confirm the structures of 1 and 3. The isolated compounds seem to be biogenetically related to a stilbene.

These derivatives, which are obtained via base-catalyzed opening of the oxazolidinones (2S,4R)- and (2R,4S)-2, can be directly employed in peptide synthesis. The synthesis of both enantiomers of Z-protected α-methylaspartic acid β-(tert-butyl)ester (O4-(tert-butyl) hydrogen 2-methylaspartates (R) or (S)-4a), α-methyl-glutamic acid γ-(tert-butyl) ester (O5-(tert-butyl) hydrogen 2-methylglutamate (R)- or (S)-4b), and of Nε-bis-Boc-protected α-methyllysine (N6,N6-bis[(tert-butyloxy)carbonyl]-2-methyllysine (R)- or (S)-4c) is described in full detail.

    Notes: A series of [Leu5]enkephalin-related glycoconjugates with an ester-, ether-, or amide-type linkage were synthesized and evaluated for antiviral activity against HIV-1 in a cell-culture system using peripheral blood lymphocytes. All tested glycoconjugates exhibited a certain antiviral activity which was significantly higher than the activity of the parent peptide compound itself. These results indicate that synthetic glycoconjugates of opioid peptides are good candidates for the development of anti-HIV agents.

    Notes: Developmental efforts to improve the yield of the chemical synthesis of (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin resulted in the isolation, partly by chromatography from reaction mixtures, and full spectroscopic characterization by 1H-NMR, UV/VIS, and CD spectrosocpy of eleven (Z/E)-isomers of zeaxanthin: (7Z)-, (9Z), (13Z)-, (15Z)-, (7Z,7′Z)-, (9Z,9′Z)- (7Z,9Z,7Z)-, (7Z,11Z,7′Z)-, (9Z,13Z,9′Z)-, (7Z,9Z,7′Z,9′Z)-, and (7Z,9Z,11Z,7′Z,9′Z)-zeaxanthin. Five of these isomers were obtained by specific synthesis, namely the (7Z)-, (7Z,7′Z)-, (9Z,9′Z)-, (7Z,9Z,7′Z)-, and (7Z,9Z,7′Z-9Z)-isomers.

The structure of some of the new 8-membered heterocycles as well as the structure of the minor by-product 6 (Scheme 3) have been established by X-ray crystallography (Chapt. 4). The proposed reaction mechanism for the ring expansion to 5 and 8 (Scheme 2) is in accordance with previously published results of reactions of 2 and NH-acidic heterocycles and is further supported by the results of the reaction of 4a and the (1-15N)-labelled aminoazirine 2a*.

Hydrogenation of 10 in AcOH yields the corresponding saturated 1,2-thiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxides 16 (Scheme 3). Cycloalka[c]-1,2-thiazoles 18 are prepared from 2-[(thiocyanato)methyliden]cycloalkan-1-ones and ammonia (Scheme 4). Surprisingly, oxidation of 18a with H2O2 in AcOH yields the tricyclic oxaziridine 19.

    Notes: On the Synthesis of Derivatives of Pyrido[1,2-a]lazepineThe conjugated pyridinium ylides of type 4 undergo 8π -electrocyclisation affording the heterobicyclic allenes 5 which, in the presence of H2O and H2O2, are subsequently transformed into the substituted pyrido[1,2-a]-azepinones 6, a novel heterocyclic system. The chemical behaviour of 6a,b is dominated by cleavage of the lactam bond and subsequent reaction to pyridinc and isoquinoline derivatives, respectively; e.g. reaction of 6a, b with 4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione affords the cycloadducts 11 and 12 almost quantitatively. The successful transformation of 6b into 15 is described, the latter being the first representative of the presently unknown, potentially antiaromatic pyrido[1,2-a]azepine (1).
