Acetochlor-a comparative study on parameters governing the potential for water pollution.

Abstract

The leaching behaviour of the herbicide acetochlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(ethoxymethyl)acetamide] was determined as compared with two congener compounds, alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide] and metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamid e]. The leaching profiles of the herbicides in columns with different types of soil and their capacity factors in reverse phase HPLC were compared. An approach for preliminary characteristic of the potential for water pollution of acetochlor is presented. The herbicide is classified as a leacher in soil and its potential for contamination of ground water is comparable with those of alachlor and metolachlor.

Development of orally bioavailable and CNS penetrant biphenylaminocyclopropane carboxamide bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists.

A series of biphenylaminocyclopropane carboxamide based bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists has been developed that possesses good pharmacokinetic properties and is CNS penetrant. Discovery that the replacement of the trifluoropropionamide in the lead structure with polyhaloacetamides, particularly a trifluoroacetamide, significantly reduced P-glycoprotein mediated efflux for the series proved essential. One of these novel bradykinin B1 antagonists (13b) also exhibited suitable pharmacokinetic properties and efficient ex vivo receptor occupancy for further development as a novel approach for the treatment of pain and inflammation.

Spontaneous enzymatically mediated dynamic kinetic resolution of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline.

A spontaneous dynamic kinetic resolution of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline 1 was observed in the presence of Candida antarctica Lipase B, in which a >60% yield of (R)-acetamide [(R)-2] was isolated from the racemic amine. The spontaneous formation of ketone 3, followed by a condensation/hydrolysis sequence with the remaining (S)-amine 1, via enamine 4, provides the necessary racemization pathway.

Total synthesis of bistramide A.

An asymmetric synthesis of the marine metabolite bistramide A is reported. The synthesis relies on the utility of three different organosilane reagents to construct all principle fragments and 8 of the 11 stereogenic centers of the natural product. [structure: see text].
