He is also indebted to the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, for the award of a Research Scholarship. Because of war-time demands, this scholarship was held for only one year, and covers Part 1 of this thesis. There is an interval of about four years between the work described in Parts I and II, and this has necessitated a somewhat lengthy Historical Introduction to Part II. The micro-analyses, unless otherwise acknowledged were carried out by Mr. JVM . L. Cameron and his staff to whom the author is also grateful. (iii} IHDEX page PART I . Attempts to synthesise.

Historical Introduction The seeds and corms. of the Autumn Crocus, or Meadow Saffron. (Colchicum Autumnale, Linn.) yield an alkaloid Colchicine, together with a number of related substances (X). Although known from earliest times as a specific for gout, later interest in colchicine centred on its property of arresting cell-division, and recent chemical interest in the alkaloid has been stimulated by the claim (2) that it caused regression of tumours in mice. Colchicine, originally isolated in 1820, (3) was only obtained in a, pure state in 1915, by Clewer, Green and Tutin (4). More recently, chromatography has been used (5) to obtain the pure alkaloid of m.p* 15?°, [a]*7 , - 120.7°. The chemical investigation of colchicine was begun by Zeisel (6), who showed that it had the molecular formula C22H2,-0gM, anE 011 ® i U hydrolysis, it lost methanol, yielding an acidic product - Colchiceine - of formula C ^ E ^ O G21H2205M^00E35 — > c 21h 22o 5u (o h ) 5 In. contrast to .colchicine, this hydrolysis product gives a green colouration .with aqueous ferric chloride, and forms a copper salt (7). Hydrolysis of colchiceine under less mild conditions gives acetic acid, and an amphoteric substance — trimethyl colehicinic acid - C19H21° j-He Zeisel was able to show by exhaustive methylation of this latter product, that the nitrogen was present as a primary amino group, and formulated the second hydrolysis step as follows, 0 ^ 0 4 . (Off) CHHOOCHj) ------ ClgH1804 (0H)(HH2) Analysis showed also the presence of three methoxyl groups, and these observations led Zeisel to assume that colchicine was the methyl ester of an aeetamido acid. This allocation of the oxygen atoms was apparently supported by the fact that neither colchicine nor its .hydrolysis products gave carbonyl derivatives. A ketonic derivative, oxy-colchicine was obtained (14) by oxidation of the alkaloid and revealed the presence of a methylene group in the molecule, whose partial structure was apparently I (CH50)5.C14H7 .(c h 2)(e e .o o c h ^)(c o o c h ^) I This formulation was re-examined and modified by Windaus (8), in a series of investigations (9) which eventually led him to propose the following structure for the alkaloid. o He; showed that trimethyl eolchicinic acid could readily he acylated, yielding 0,H—diacyl derivatives. This, he pointed out, was indicative of an enol rather than a carboxyl structure, and this concept is supported by the green colouration shown by colchiceine and trimethyl colchicinic acid with aqueous ferric chloride. Yfindaus therefore postulated a tautomeric a,ldehyde hydroxy— methylene structure to account for the acid oxygen function of colchiceine, and supported it with three pieces of evidence:- a) On treatment with bromine water (10) colchiceine is converted into an acid with the same number of carbon atoms 020H22°5E * (GH°) * G20®l9Br3*05^* (G02H ^ The 0 ,F—dibenzene- sulphonyl derivative of trimethyl colchicinic acid exists in two distinct forms. This cannot be explained on a carboxylic acid formula, but may be readily accommodated in a hydroxy—methylene formula, where two. stereo­ isomers II may be expected. H 0*S0o»Ph \ y \ y 2 js = c a = 0 \x0S02*Ph ^ ^SI II c) Colchiciene reacts with iodine and caustic potash, to give a phenolic product, F—acetyl iodocolchino1, in which the —GEO group is replaced by iodine C20E22°5.3Sr* ^GE°) — > c 20h 2205n i b This reaction may he compared with that of hydroxy- methylene camphor with bromine and KOH (ll) or iodine and KOH (12). In these latter cases, the hydroxy- meth.yl.ene group is removed, and a halogenated camphor is obtained. Windaus showed moreover (13) that under identical conditions, 2-hydroxy~l-naphthaldehyde III, (but not m-hydroxy aldehydes) gave the iodophenol IT These analogies, led Windaus. to postulate for colchiceine the phenol-aldehyde, hydroxymethylene-fcetone formula T, although he appreciated its shortcomings. T In particular, it does, not account for the absence of carbonyl properties in colchicine or its. hydrolysis products;. The FLndaus partial Y may be re-written as Ya, in the light of Zeisel!s work, and it therefore (c h 3o )3 ^ Va E = IT; R'= CHO - CB Vb E = H; R'= X •2 CHjCOHS - ^ CgH To E = CH^; E '= X Yd E = OE^;R'= H Vi XX J follows, that IT—acetyl iodocolchinol is represented by Y b , and its methyl ether by Yc. This latter substance, may be reduced to UF—acetyl, colchino 1 methyl ether Yd. The structure' of E—acetyl iodocolchinol methyl ether was supported by its oxidation to an iodomethoxy phthalic acid (1.6) , which Grewe (15) subsequently identified as: YI. The oxidation of colchicine to YII (16) served to; locate: the remaining three methoxy groups, and revealed the presence of another ring. 8 When the oxidation of colchicine is preceded by alkali- fusion, two non—methoxylated acids VIII and IX are obtained, and although open to re—interpretation in the light of the modern tropolone formula, this was taken by Windaus as evidence of a third, central, ring in the colchicine molecule. He was also able to show (9) that the tricyclic ring system was of the phenanthrene type. Hoffmann deamination of coldhinol methyl ether gave a tetramethoxylated hydrocarbon, deamino colchinol methyl ether, which on demethylation and zinc dust distillation yielded 9~methyl phenanthrene X (17)• Prom its degradation to X, Windaus, assumed a partial formula XI for colchiceine and XII for colchicine with the proviso that the substituents of ring C may require to be interchanged. Orientation of the Cttofs o remaining substituents was accompanied (9) in the following manner:- a) From the oxidation of IT—acetyl colchinol methyl ether, 4-methoxy phthalimide XIII was isolated. This demonstrated that the nitrogen atom was situated adjacent to ring C. b) Since Zeisel (14) had previously demonstrated the presence of a methylene group in the molecule, the methyl group was assumed to be located on the same carbon atom as the nitrogen. c) Careful oxidation of F-benzoyl trimethyl colchicinic acid gave two degradation products whose compos­ itions indicated that only 3 carbon atoms had been lost, and whose properties suggested a lactone and an anhydride respectively. They were formulated as XIV (F-benzoyl colchide) and XV 10 (H-benzoyl colchinic anhydride) in the light of structure XII. This orientation of the methoxy groups follows from a further degradation of the anhydride XT. Reduction of the olefinic double bond, and simultaneous hydrolysis of the anhydride, • gave a dicarboxylic acid (Cg^Hg^OgH) which on d&methylation with HI lost one molecule of 00^, and yielded a lactone. The formation of a lactone in such a molecule is only possible y/hen both groups are in the peri—positions (18) , and Yfindaus accordingly formulated the lactone as XYI. With the orientation of the substituents now complete, Windaus was able; to formulate colchicine as XTII or XTIII, and colchiceine as XIX or XX. It followed therefore ■NViOoW O XVI] VvTd ; £ * 5oT : that K-acetyl iodocolchinol methyl ether, must he represented by XXI, colchinol methyl ether by XXII, and deaminocolchinol methyl ether by XXIII. N.XH1 Concluding his notable examination of the alkaloid Windaus investigated its reduction. The product, erroneously described by him as an octahydro-derivative, was later shown by Bursian (19) to be a hexahydrocolchicine retaining a resistant double bond. In contrast to colchicine, this substance contained no readily hydrolysabl methoxy group, and although this provided no direct support for the Windaus formula, it was compatible with it* Windaus was nevertheless dissatisfied with this colchicine formula for a number of reasons (9). These may be summarised as follows a) It does not readily account for the formation of oxalic and succinic acids in certain oxidations (9)* h) Neither colchicine nor colchiceine gives carbonyl derivatives and colchiceine (XIX or XX) which should readily isomerise to a phenolic aldehyde, can be reconverted (6) by methylation, to the readily hydrolysed methyl ether (colchicine).

II Thesis abstract The convulsant alkaloid strychnine is a selective and highly potent antagonist at postsynaptic receptor for the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine . These properties have led to the extensive use of strychnine as a ligand to probe the postsynaptic glycine receptor. Despite the recent increased understanding of the molecular structure of this receptor protein there is still much dispute as to the nature of the interaction between glycine and strychnine.

  • 20 More About Oxidation–Reduction Reactions
    More About 20 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions OOC n important group of organic reactions consists of those that O A involve the transfer of electrons C from one molecule to another. Organic chemists H OH use these reactions—called oxidation–reduction reactions or redox reactions—to synthesize a large O variety of compounds. Redox reactions are also important C in biological systems because many of these reactions produce HH energy. You have seen a number of oxidation and reduction reactions in other chapters, but discussing them as a group will give you the opportunity to CH3OH compare them. In an oxidation–reduction reaction, one compound loses electrons and one com- pound gains electrons. The compound that loses electrons is oxidized, and the one that gains electrons is reduced. One way to remember the difference between oxidation and reduction is with the phrase “LEO the lion says GER”: Loss of Electrons is Oxi- dation; Gain of Electrons is Reduction. The following is an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction involving inorganic reagents: Cu+ + Fe3+ ¡ Cu2+ + Fe2+ In this reaction,Cu+ loses an electron, so Cu+ is oxidized. Fe3+ gains an electron, so Fe3+ is reduced. The reaction demonstrates two important points about oxidation– reduction reactions. First, oxidation is always coupled with reduction. In other words, a compound cannot gain electrons (be reduced) unless another compound in the reaction simultaneously loses electrons (is oxidized). Second, the compound that is oxidized (Cu+) is called the reducing agent because it loses the electrons that are used to reduce the other compound (Fe3+). Similarly, the compound that is reduced (Fe3+) is called the oxidizing agent because it gains the electrons given up by the other compound (Cu+) when it is oxidized.

HOURIGAN, B.Sc. July, 1971. (11) The work contained in this thesis has not been submitted for a degree or similar award to any other University or Institution. J.A. HOURIGAN (111) Aspects of the radiation chellliatry and protection of the polypeptide chain of catalase were investigated, employing the soluble enz,111le and also insoluble, poly(diazostyrene)-bound catalase. Prior investigation of the structure of the inaolubilized catalase by ion-exchange chromatography of its hydrolysate showed that approximately 140 residues (histidine, lysine, cysteine and tyrosine, i.e. roughly half the total number of these residues per catalase aolecule) were covalently linked to poly(diazostyrene) molecules. The conjugate was pictured as a catalase molecule to which a large number (20-100) of poly(diazostyrene) molecules were covalently linked. The results indicate further, and in agreement with the results of irradiation experiments, that the tyrosine and arginine residues are mainly located in the interior of the active conformer of the catalase molecule. A novel pyrolysis-gas chromatographic technique was developed for the estimation of the protein content of poly(diazostyrene)-bound catalase.

ABSTIUCT Stannous chloride interacts with platinum-metal compounds to form complex anions of ruthenium, rhodium, iridium and platinum which have been isolated as salts of larEe cations. The anions are 2- formulated as ERLIC1 (SnC1 ) j Rh Cl (SnC1 2 3 2 , E 2 2 3 (Ir2C16(SnC13)0 4- and cis- and trans- CptC1 where 2(SnC13 ) 2- , 2- the trichlorostannate(II) ion is considered to be acting as a donor anionic ligand.
