Iron(II) and iron(III) complexes of 2,4-dithiobiuret

Ferrous and ferric complexes of 2,4-dithiobiuret (Dtb) of the type Fe(Dtb)m Xn where m, n = 1-3, and X = CI–, Br–, I– and SO 4 2– , and a neutral Fe(Dtb-H)2 complex have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, i.r., electronic and Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. From its i.r. spectrum Dtb was found to act as a S,S-coordinating bidentate chelate. The magnetic moment, electronic and Massbauer spectra are consistent with a low spin distorted octahedral structure for the ferric complexes and a high spin form for ferrous complexes.

Studies in metal-ammonia reduction. Part 4. Reduction and reductive methylation of 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydrophenanthren-1(2H)-one and 7-methoxy-1,2-dihydrophenanthren-4(3H)-one

Birch reduction and reductive methylations of the title compounds have been investigated. 7-Methoxy-3,4-dihydrophenanthren-1(2H)-one (2) yields the cis-3,4,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-derivative (15) while the 7-methoxy-1,2-dihydrophenanthren-4(3H)-one (5) is reduced to the corresponding 1,2,9,10-tetrahydro-derivative (7). The factors influencing the mechanism of the reduction process have been discussed. The reductive methylation products of the ketone (2) are useful substrates in the synthesis of 9-methyl steroids.

An essential arginine residue at the substrate binding site of 4-hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylase.

4-Hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylase was inactivated by treatment with phenylglyoxal by a process obeying pseudo-first order kinetics indicating the presence of an essential arginine located presumably in the active site. Addition of saturating amounts of 4-hydroxyisophthalate during the treatment resulted in complete protection of the enzyme from the inactivation, but addition of NADPH was totally ineffective. Analysis of the effect of various substrate analogs on the protection of the enzyme showed that carboxyl and hydroxyl groups at para positions on the aromatic ring are essential for substrate binding to the active site. It was also observed that analogs which protect the enzyme against phenylglyoxal inactivation are themselves effective inhibitors of the enzyme activity.
