Triterpenoid saponins from Verbascum songaricum

Songarosaponin A, B and C isolated from the aerial parts of Verbascum songaricum were shown to be 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)]-[b eta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)-beta-D-fucopyranosyl]-olea-11,13-die ne-3 beta-23,28-triol, 3-0-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)]-[b eta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)]-beta-D-fucopyranosyl]-olea-1 1-ene-3 beta-13,23,28-tetrol and 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)]-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)]-[b eta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)]-beta-D-fucopyranosyl]-13 beta,28-epoxyolea-11-ene-3 beta,23-diol.

Regiocontrolled electrochemical cyanation of ergolines

Abstract An electrochemical procedure for the preparation of the 2-cyano ergolines (2) is described.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of some dihydrolysergic acid derivatives

Abstract Due to the interest in the conformation of the ergot alkaloids the 1H-NMR spectra of 1 , 3 and the 13C-NMR spectra of 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 were recorded and the conformations determined. The synthesis of 1 , 2 and 3 was described elsewhere.

Chinazolincarbonsäuren, 10. Mitt. Synthese von 1-Methyl-2,4-dioxo-chinazolin-3-yl-essigsäure, 2,4-Dioxo-chinazolin-1-yl-essigsäuren, 2,4-Dioxo-1,3-chinazolindiessigsäuren und deren Estern

Abstract2,4-Dioxo-quinazolin-1-yl-acetic acid esters (2) were prepared by the reaction of either 3,1-benzoxazine-2,4-diones (1) with urea in the melt or in solution or of the substituted anthranilic acid ester4 with potassium cyanate in acid solution. The anthranilamides5 with trichloromethyl chloroformate (diphosgene) gave also2. Alkaline hydrolysis of2 affords the 2,4-dioxo-quinazolin-1-yl-acetic acids (3), which were independently obtained by the sequence5 →6 →7. 2,4-Dioxo-1,3-quinazolinediacetic acids (11) were synthesized from1 and glycine ester. Reaction of8 with ethyl chloroformate gave9 and treatment of the latter with KOH furnished the potassium salt10, which was converted to11 by acids.Quinazoline-2,4-dione (12) with ethyl bromoacetate yielded13 and with chloroacetonitrile14. 13 was hydrolyzed to11. 14 could not be converted into11.1-Methyl-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4-dione (15) was transformed under similar conditions into 1-methyl-2,4-dioxo-quinazolin-3-yl-acetic acid (16).
