Eight analogues of 1N, 12N-bisethylspermine (BES) with restricted conformations were synthesized in the search for new spermine mimetics with cytotoxic activities. By replacing the central butane segment of BES with a 1,2-disubstitut

Efficient preparations of pure diastereomers of dimethyl 1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylates 2, dicarboxylic acids 3, dicarbonyl dichlorides 4, and dihydrazides 5 are reported.Mixtures of diastereomers of dimethyl dicarboxylates 2a, b, d, e are obtained from α,β-unsaturated methyl carboxylates 7 and methyl α-chlorocarboxylates 8 as well as from 7c, d and the sulfur ylide 10 (2c, d).The diastereomers are separated by fractionating distillations (2a, b, c, e) or crystallization (2d) on a 100-g to 1-kg scale (d.e. >99percent).Only low yields of 2c are obtained in the reaction of methyl crotonate (7c) with methyl α-chloroacetate (8a), since 7c predominantly dimerizes to afford 12.The diesters 2 are converted into the pure diastereomeric diacids 3, dicarbonyl dichlorides 4, and dihydrazides 5. 3,3-Dimethyl-cis-1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid (cis-3f) is obtained by trans-->cis isomerization of trans-3f with the help of acetic anhydride and sodium acetate as catalyst.The configurations of 2-6 and 12 are confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy.Derivatives of cis-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid tend to form bicyclic products.Thus, the reaction of cis-3e with phosphorus pentachloride yields mainly the cyclic anhydride 6e and only small amounts of the dicarbonyl dichloride cis-4e.Furthermore, the dihydrazide cis-5e slowly cyclizes in the solid state to give the N-aminoimide 13 and hydrazine, a reaction which is fast in solution.Pure 13 is obtained by thermolysis of cis-5e at 60-65 deg C under high vacuum.
