mum inhibitory concentrations are as follows (in ug/ml): 11, S.. aweug (WLRI-25), 31; E . coli, 62; P . vulgayis, 125; 111,IV, Ib, and IIa, X.auwus (WTARIX ) , >12-5; E. coli, >125.
Experimental Section Physical constants and arialyt,ical values are reported in Table
I. Melting points were determined using the Thomas-Hoover capillary melting point apparatus which was calibrated against known standards. The ultraviolet and infrared spectra were obtained, respectively, with a Beckman DK-1 spect'rophot,ometer and a Baird Model 455 double-beam instrument. Unlers otherwise stated, the former were determined as solutions in 95% ethanol and the lat'ter as Sujol mulls. Tetrahydrofuran ( T H F ) used was purified and dried by distillation from LiAlH,. Prior t o evaporation or concentration, the nonaqueons organic solut,ions were dried over Na2S04. The evaporations and concentrations were carried out in vacuo with a rot8aryflash evaporator at, temperatures not exceeding 30". ~-threo-2-Acetamido-l-(~-cyanophenyl)-l,3-propanediol was prepared as describedl for the corresponding DL compound: ~ (e 3, CILOH); vmaL (cm-I) 2300 mp 122.5; [ a I z 5 +4.1" ( C s X ) , 1645 (amide C=O). Anal. Calcd for Cl2Hl4X2O3:C, 61.53; H, 6.02; IL', 11.96. Found: C, 61.65; H, 6.17; N, 11.82. D-threo-l-( p-Acetylphenyl)-2-( 2,2-dichloroacetamido)-1,3-propanediol (I).-Ethereal CHILi (300 ml, 0.8 LV)was added at 40" over a period of 4 hr to a stirred solution of 8 g of D-threo-1-(pcyanophenyl)-2-acetamido-1,3-propanediolin 600 ml of THF. After 2 hr of additional stirring, a solution of 100 g of (NH4)2SO4 in 100 ml of water was added over a period of 1 hr. The organic layer was separated; the aqueous phase was extracted four times with 200-ml portions of ethyl acetate-THF (1: 1). The extracts were combined with the organic layer, dried (Na2SOa),and evaporated. The residiie was heated on a steam bath with 300 ml of 10% I T 8 0 4 for 3 hr. The sollition was cooled, washed twice with 25-ml portions of ethyl acletat>e,made basic with 20% KOIl at 0-3', and estixcated eight times with 400-ml portions of ethyl
acetate. The combined extracts were dried and evaporated. The residue was refluxed for 4 hr with 13 ml of methyl dichloroacetate in 50 ml of methanol. hfter evaporation, the oily residue was passed through 100 g of an activated magnesium silicate column (Florisil) which was eluted with ethyl acetate. The crystalline fractions were combined and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane ( 1 : l ) to give 2.8 g of product: Xmnx [mfi ( e ) ] 252.5 (15,7c50). vmax (em-') 1672 (amide C=O), 1693 (ketone C=O); v:::c"(cm-l) 1685 (ketone C=O), 1708 (amide C=O).6 In an alternate procedure, the solution of 1.5 g of o-threo-l(p-cyanophenyl)-2-acetamido-1,3-propanediolin T H F (400 ml) was treated with 1.50 ml of 1 S ethereal C H J I g I over a period of 23 hr a t reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was worked up as above to give 0.46 g of product. DL-threo-l-( p-Acetylphenyl)-2-( 2,2-dichloroacetamido)-1,3propanediol (Ia) was prepared from o~-threo-l-(p-cyanophenyl)-2acetamido-1,3-propanediolby the above procedure. ~-threo-l-(p-Acetylphenyl)-2-acetamido-l,3-propanediol (Ib) was prepared by the above procedure omit,ting the hydrolysis and dichloroacetylation steps; vmar (cm-1) 1634 (amide C=O) and 1676 (ketone C=O). ~-threo-l-(p-Acetylphenyl)-2-am~no-1,3-propaned~ol (IC).-A suspension of 2.5 g of I in 25 ml of 107, H?SOI was heated on a steam bath for 3 hr. After cooling, the solution was washed with 50 ml of ethyl acetate, made basic with NH40H a t 0-5', aiid extracted five times with 150-ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried and concentrated to ca. 25 ml to give on cooling 1.05 g of off-white crystals which were recrystallized from ethyl acetate: vmgX (cm-l) 1678 (ketone C=O), v~~~~~ (cm-1) 1682 (ketone C=O). D-threo-1 -( p-Acetylpheny1)-2-( 2,2-dichloroacetamido)-1,3-propanediol Thiosemicarbazone (Id).-A solution of 0.132 g of I and 0.037 g of thiosemicarbazide in 25 ml methanol was refluxed for
(6) T h e dicliloracetamido carhonyl band undergoes a 25-35-em-' shift t o liigher frequency on passage from mull t o solution (see example 1110). The hand of the ketone function shifts only slightly or remains a t the same position (see examples IC a n d IIh). A s a result, t h e absorption frequency of tlie dicliloroacetyl carhonyl is believed to be below t h a t of tlie ketone carbunhl wllen determined as a mull and above it when determined in soliition.
