    No. 7] 609 129. Some Derivatives from Cotchicine''2' By Tetsuo NOZOE,Toshiaki IKEMI, and Sho ITo ChemicalInstitute, Faculty of Science,Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan (Comm. by R. MAJIMA,M.J.A., July 12, 1954) On the structure of colchicine, Dewar3' proposed that its C- ring is corresponding to the methyl ether of tropolone, and as is well known, colchicine possesses some specific biological actions, such as the interference of cell mitosis, that deep interest is being shown on this compound. Many workers have reported on various kinds of N-substituted colchicine derivatives in connection with chemotherapy of cancer and other diseases. The present writers utilized variuos reactions carried out with tropolones on colchicine (I), which seemed of interest from biological standpoint, and these attempts are briefly described in the present paper. Some time ago, various kinds of mercaptotropones and mercapto- tropolones4' were obtained in this laboratory by the reaction of halotropolones and their methyl ethers with thiols. This reaction was first taken up, and an attempt was made to obtain thiocolchicine (II) by the reaction of colchicine (I)5' and sodium mercaptide. However, the objective (II) was not obtained and only the rearrange- ment products, allocolchicine and allocolchiceines~" were obtained in 10% and 80% yield. When (I) and equimolar amount of sodium hydrosulfide were reacted under the same conditions, besides the recovery of 2O% of (I), levorotatory acidic substance was obtained as an amorphous power of m.p. 175-190° (decomp.).8' This substance was very hard to crystallize and was therefore purified by repeated reprecipitation.

  • A•Monoaminohinokitiol. by Tetsuo Nozoe and Egai SERE
    No. 9.] (9) 45 62. On a•Monoaminohinokitiol. By Tetsuo NozoE and Egai SERE. Chemical Institute, Faculty of Science, Tohoku University ; and Pharmacological Institute, Medical Faculty, Kumamoto University. (Comm. by R. MAJIMA,M.J. A., Nov. 13, 1950.) The authors, some time ago, recognized the formation of an amphoteric substance, besides p-toluidine, during reduetion of p- tolyl-azo-hinokitiol (I) with zinc dust and acetic acid°, although it could not be obtained in a pure state. Later, by the reduction of (I) with sodium hydrosulfite, similar substance (II), m.p. 131-132°, soluble in both acids and alkalies, was obtained. (II) gave a picrate, m. p. 144- 145°, and diacetate, m. p. 141-142°, and was found, from their analytical values, to be monoaminohinokitiol. In order to distinguish it from isomeric monoamino compounds obtained by the reduction of several kinds of mononitrohinokitiols°'', (II) was designated as a-aminohinokitiol. In spite of being an unsaturated 7-membered amine, (II) can be diazotized, and leads to various halogen and cyano compounds by the Sandmeyer reaction, although the yield is poor, and resinous substance is formed due to the unstability of the diazonium salt which easily decomposes with liberation of N2. The reaction products all give red coloration with FeCI;; in ether solution, showing that they form inner complex salts, so that they are true substitu. tion products of hinokitiol (IIIa) still retaining the tropolone nucleus. The ehloro compound (Tub), m.p. 118.5-119.5°, obtained from (II), was proved to coincide with oc-monochloro derivative 3', m.p. 118-119°, obtained by the direct chlorination of (IIIa).

  • 42. on the Synthesis of Tropolone ~Cycloheptatrienolone)'~
    (7) 38 [Vol. 26, 42. On the Synthesis of Tropolone ~Cycloheptatrienolone)'~. By Tetsuo NozoE, Shuichi SETO,Yoshio KITAHARA, Masao KUNORI,and Yuya NAKAYAMA. ChemicalInstitute, Faculty of Science,Tohoku University. (Comm. by R. MAJIMA,M.J.A., July 12,1950.) During the recent several years it has been proved that some natural products e. g. hinokitiol2~,stipitatic acid3~,colchicine4~, a-, - , and 7-thujaplicins5~, purpurogallins~ and puberulic acid's etc. -- contain the unsaturated seven-membered cyclic structure (I). Dewar3~assigned the name of "tropolone " to the hitherto unknown cycloheptatrienolone (I) and tried its synthesis, but did not suc- ceeded. Afterward Haworth0>obtained methyltropolone (II) as one of the oxidation products of purpurogallin. Cook9jet al. and recent- ly Tarbell10~et al. reported the syntheses of Benztropolone (III) and its isomer (IV) respectively, The syntheses of tropolone and its alkyl homologues, however, have never been reported. From the fact that tropolone derivatives are being successively found in nature, their antibiotic properties, the striking action of colchicine to cell division, its curative effect to Sarcoma, and the characteristic prorerties of hinokitiol proved by the studies of Nozoe2~ et al., the problem of synthesizing tropolone has become an attractive one. Hence we tried to synthesize it by various methods. Unlike the case of benztropolone9~, cycloheptanedione (V), on heating with Pd-charcoal, is not dehydrogenated, but resiniied. We, however, succeeded in the synthesis of monocyclic tropolone by dibromination 1) Presented at the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Chemical Society of Japan in Kyoto, April, 2, 1950. 2) Nozoe and Katsura : J. of Pharm.

  • The Development of Organic Chemistry in Japan: Riko Majima and His Research School of “Natural Product Che- Mistry” in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
    The Development of Organic Chemistry in Japan: Riko Majima and His Research School of “Natural Product Che- mistry” in the First Half of the Twentieth Century Masanori Kaji* 1. Chemistry before the Meiji Restoration In Japanese history, the year 1868 is usually considered to be the beginning of modern Japan. In that year, the Tokugawa government, ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family, based in Edo (today’s Tokyo) was replaced by a modern gov- ernment ruled by an Emperor, who was formerly confined to Kyoto. This revolu- tionary political change is called the Meiji Restoration, because the ancient Imperial system was nominally restored under Emperor Meiji. Although initially mixed in its leanings, the new government soon adopted a policy of full-fledged modernisation.1 The introduction of western science had already started long before the Meiji Restoration. From the middle of the 17th century until 1853, the Netherlands was the only European country with which Japan traded; some books in Dutch on sci- ence, technology, and medicine were imported into Japan during that period. In the 1770s, some Japanese medical doctors, including Genpaku Sugita (1733- 1817), Ryoutaku Maeno (1723-1803), Junan Nakagawa (1739-86), Hoshu Katsu- ragawa (1751-1809), began to learn Dutch and translated a Dutch introductory anatomy textbook, Ontleedkundig Tafelen,2 into Japanese. This was the begin- ning of the so-called “Dutch learning (Rangaku),” that is, learning of about west- ern civilisation through the Dutch language.3 By the 1830s-40s, Yoan Udagawa (1798-1846), a scholar of Dutch learning, had already written a textbook “Seimi Kaiso [An Introduction to Chemistry]” –basical- ly Lavoisier’s chemistry– using contemporary Dutch chemistry textbooks, includ- ing the Dutch translation of Lavoisier’s Traité Elémentaire de Chimie.4 * Tokyo Institute of Technology, Graduate School of Decision Science and Technology, Group of History of Science and Technology.

  • 60. General Considerations on the Substitution Reactions O F Hinokitiol
    (9) 30 [Vol. 26, 60. General Considerations on the Substitution Reactions o f Hinokitiol. By Tetsuo NozoE. ChemicalInstitute, Faculty of Science, T~hokuUniversity. (Comm.by R. MAJIMA,M.J.A., Nov. 13, 1950.) The author'}, some time ago, discovered the presence of an enolic substance, C,OH,2O, in the essential oil of Chamaecyparis taiwanensis, Masamune et Suzuki, and named it hinokitiol. It existed in the oil mainly in a free state and partly as a ferric complex salt, hinokitin, m.p. 252°. From its oxidation and reduc- tion products, especially by the study of crystalline products ob- tained by H202-oxidation, the formula (I), corresponding to C10H1g0~, was adopted. However, as a result of extensive study by the author and his co-workers3~, hinokitiol, m, p. 52°, was found to be isopropylcycloheptatriene-2, 4, 6-ol-2-one-1 (II), corresponding to C,OH,~O2. From its remarkable characteristics, i.e. great stability in spite of its highly unsaturated structure, and the extreme aro- maticity, he assumed4~ its structure to be the resonance hybrid between formulae (ha) and (lib) by the formation of an intra- molecular hydrogen bond. As a result, the links between C-atom constituting the 7-membered ring, tends to acquire the double-bond character, and the molecule as a whole, takes a plane heptagone structure. This probably, is responsible for the aromaticity of hinokitiol, similar to- that of aromatic compounds of benzene series. The position of the isopropyl group was assumed to be at 4 or meta5~. Erdtman, Gripenberg and Anderson6), entirely independent of the foregoing research, studied the structure of 3 isomeric thuja- plicins, isolated from the heart wood of Thuja plicata, Ikon., and gave the same structure (III, R = i-CH) to its $-isomer, m.p.

To identify genes involved in tropolone synthesis, we systematically constructed mutations in the genes encoding 55 histidine kinases and 72 response regulators. From http://jb.asm.org/ the resulting defective strains, we isolated three mutants, KE1, KE2, and KE3, in which tropolone production was repressed. The deleted genes of these mutants were named troR1, troK, and troR2, respectively. The mutant strains did not cause rice seedling blight, and complementation experiments indicated that TroR1, TroK, and TroR2 were involved in the synthesis of tropolone in B. plantarii. However, tropolone synthesis was repressed in the TroR1 D52A, TroK H253A, and TroR2 D46A site-directed mu- tants.
