N-PHOSPHORYL AMINO ACIDS AND PEPTIDES: PART I. THE CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF N-(O,O-DIISOPROPYL PHOSPHORYL)-TRANS-4-HYDROXY-D,L-PROLINE

Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of N-(O,O-diisopropyl phosphoryl)-trans-4-hydroxy-D,L-proline has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and is compared with proline or hydroxyproline residue in a peptide chain described in the literature. The compound crystallized in orthorhombic system with space group P2₁2₁2₁, a=6.934(2), b=8.694(3), c=26.727(7) Å, V=1611.3(8) ų, Z=4, Dx=1.22 g/cm³. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by anisotropic least squares to a discrepancy index R=0.072. In the compound, the nitrogen atom is trigonal and its remaining 2p orbital is conjugated with the P?Oπ system; the conformation of the phosphorimidate function is favoured by the trans orientation of the P=O bond with respect to the N-C4 bond. In the pyrrolidine ring moeity, the C2-C1-N-C4 atoms are nearly copolnar and the C3 atom is out of the plane by about 0.47 Å.     

Determination of N-methylcarbamate insecticides in water samples using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and HPLC with the aid of experimental design and desirability function

A rapid and simple method for the extraction and preconcentration of N-methylcarbamates (NMCs) (carbofuran, carbaryl and promecarb) in water samples using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) using chemometrics was developed. Influence variables such as volume of extracting (CHCl₃) and dispersing solvents (ACN), pH and ionic strength, extraction time and centrifugation time and speed were screened in a 2^7–4 Plackett–Burman design was investigated. The significant variables were optimized by using a central composite design (CCD) combined with desirability function (DF). At optimum conditions values of variables set as 126 μL chloroform, 1.5 mL acetonitrile, 1 min extraction time, 10 min centrifugation at 4000 rpm min⁻¹, natural pH, 4.7% (w/v) NaCl, the separation was reached in less than 14 min using a C₁₈ column and an isocratic binary mobile phase (acetonitrile: water (50:50, v/v)) with flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹. At optimum conditions method has linear response over 0.001–10 μg mL⁻¹ with detection limit between 0.0001 and 0.0005 μg mL⁻¹ with relative standard deviations (RSDs) in the range 2.18–5.06% (n = 6).     

Synthesis and properties of (−)-menthol-derived chiral liquid crystals by introducing adipoyloxy spacer between mesogenic core and chiral menthyl

A homologous series of new chiral liquid crystal compounds, M6BnB (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18), with varying length of n-alkoxy chains at one end, was formed by covalently linking a chiral (?)-menthyl with biphenyl-benzoate via adipoyloxy spacer group. A combination of analysis methods such as Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, polarised optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction was carried out to systematically investigate their phase structures and phase transition behaviours. The length of the flexible terminal alkoxy group has a profound influence on the clearing points (T_iso) and T_iso decrease with the increase of alkoxy chain (n). In addition, increasing the length of the terminal alkoxy group tends to narrow the temperature range of the N* phase and favour the development of chiral smectic C phase.

Synthesis,antimicrobial evaluation and docking study of triazole containing triaryl-1H-imidazole

An efficient route for the synthesis of triazole containing triaryl-1H-imidazole (3a–3r) was achieved involving multicomponent condensation of triazole aldehydes, ammonium acetate and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds in glacial acetic acid. The structure of newly synthesized imidazoles was established by the FTIR, HRMS and NMR spectra. All the compounds displayed considerable antimicrobial activity against fungal and bacterial strains. The triazolyl imidazole 3p was substantially potent against P. aeruginosa (0.0113?µmol/mL), A. niger (0.0113?µmol/mL) and C. albicans (0.0056?µmol/mL) wherein triazolyl imidazoles 3i was found to be more potent against B. subtilis (0.0122?µmol/mL) & A. niger (0.0121?µmol/mL); and compound 3r was also found to be more potent against S. epidermidis (0.0117?µmol/mL) & C. albicans (0.0058?µmol/mL). As a result of docking studies, the binding affinity of the compound 3o was –9.6?kcal/mol which was even more in comparison to the binding affinity of co-crystallized ligand CBN (–9.4?kcal/mol).

Performance evaluation of a new nanocomposite polymer gel for water shutoff in petroleum reservoirs

Abstract

A new polymer gel nanocomposite is fabricated for excess water production control (water shut off) in petroleum reservoirs and its rheological behavior is evaluated in the presence of sea water and formation water at the temperature of 100?°C. It is shown that at a high salinity without using SiO₂ nanoparticles, the elastic modulus of synthesized polymer gel in the presence of sea water and formation water are 12.5?Pa and 9.8?Pa respectively. However by incorporation of SiO₂ nanoparticles in the polymer gel matrix, the elastic modulus of synthesized polymer gel in the presence of sea water and formation water can be improved to 13.56?Pa and 11.57?Pa respectively, which is quite interesting from reservoir engineering viewpoint. Equilibrium Swelling Ratio (ESR) of the nanocomposite polymer gel in sea water and formation water decreases as the concentration of the SiO₂ increases. Thermal stability of the polymer gel is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The inflexion temperature of the polymer gel is improved by incorporation of 2000?ppm SiO₂ nanoparticles. The fabricated polymer gel nanocomposite in this work can have potential application in reduction of excess water production during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations in petroleum industry.     

Rheological properties of water-soluble cross-linked xanthan gum

Water-soluble crossslinked xanthan gum (CXG) was prepared from xanthan gum (XG) and epichlorohydrin under alkaline condition by ethanol solvent method. Rheological properties and heat resistance performance of different concentrations of aqueous XG and CXG solutions were investigated. The results showed that the apparent viscosity of 4 g · L^?1 CXG solution was 2.57 times that of 4 g · L^?1 XG solution. The storage modulus G′ and the loss modulus G″ of CXG solutions were greater than those of XG solutions, and viscoelastic and thixotropic properties were more significant in CXG solutions. At 80°C, these two solutions were sheared at 170 s^?1 for 90 minutes, the reserved viscosity was 32.30 and 62.15 mPa · s for XG and CXG solutions, respectively. The heat resistance performance of CXG solution was better than that of XG solution. Nonlinear co-rotational Jeffreys model could be applied to describe the flow curves of XG and CXG solutions correctly, and the calculated values were in good agreement with the experimental data.     

COPPER(II) COORDINATION COMPOUNDS: CLASSIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC AND STRUCTURAL DATA II. MONONUCLEAR-, HEXA-, HEPTA-AND OCTACOORDINATE COMPOUNDS

Abstract

This review summarizes the data for over five hundred and fifty six-, seven- and eight-coordinate Cu(II) coordination compounds. The six-coordinate derivatives are mostly distorted tetragonal (elongation along a single C ₄ axis). The seven-coordinate derivatives are only penta-gonal-bipyramidal with different degrees of distortion and the eight-coordinate complexes are dodecahedral. The most common ligands are O- and N-donors. There is a trend for the Cu-L distance to increase with covalent radius of the coordinated atom and also increasing coordination number. In general, Cu(II) compounds “prefer” a monoclinic class and are blue or green. Several relationships were found and discussed. The data are compared and discussed with those of four- and five-coordinate Cu(II) compounds.

New Types of Functionally Substituted Methylphosphonites and Their Derivatives

Abstract

Organophosphorus compounds containing a functional group in the a-position of the alkyl radical are of great interest in both theoretical fundamental investigations and for practical applications. Functionally substituted methyl-phosphonites and their derivatives, belonging to this broad class of organophosphorus compounds, are convenient objects for investigating mutual effects of trivalent phosphorus and a heteroatom, or functional groups attached to it in the a-position. They have also become key substances in obtaining new organophosphorus compounds. Functionally sub-stituted compounds of tetracoordinated phosphorus have been intensively investigated in recent years; rather convenient methods of synthesis of these compounds have been proposed and their properties have been studied in detail¹. However, the corresponding compounds of tricoordinated phosphorus are not available or difficult to obtain. Recently we re-ported on the properties of halogen-substituted methylphos-phines and their derivatives². The present paper is devoted to the synthesis and investigation of the reactivity of alkoxy-, dialkylamino- and carbonyl substituted methylphos-phonites and their derivatives. In synthesis of alkoxymeth-ylphosphonites and their analogs we were the first to use labile alkoxymethylmagnesium chlorides in the reactions with tricoordinated phosphorus acid chlorides³. Previously unknown dialkoxymethylphosphonites and their analogs were obtained from hypophosphorous acid and trialkylorthofor-mates. The process of esterification and dialkoxymethylat-ion of hypophosphorous acid, being dependent on a catalyst, proceeds in different ways and results in the formation of dialkoxymethylphosphonite structures

Roccellatol,a new β-orcinol based metabolite from the lichen Roccella montagnei

Roccellatol, a new (2′R,3′S)-erythrityl-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoate was isolated along with nine known compounds from the fruticose lichen, Roccella montagnei Bel. em. D.D. Awasthi. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis (¹H, ¹³C, DEPT and HRMS). The present isolation of roccellatol (10) assumes significance as the esters of p-orcellinic acid are rare in lichens. Interestingly, among the known compounds, (+)-montagnetol (9) was now isolated in very large quantity (4.66%).     

Indole-based distinctive chemosensors for ‘naked-eye’ detection of CN and HSO4−, associated with hydrogen-bonded complex and their DFT study

Colorimetric detection of anions (HSO₄^? and CN^?) was achieved via analyte triggered colour changing of the dipodal and tripodal sensors in CH₃CN–H₂O (1:1). The sensors exhibited very sharp visual colour changes and fluorescence quenching–enhancing effect upon addition of the HSO₄^? and CN^?. The large downfield shift of the NH proton signals in ¹H-NMR complexation studies and quantum chemical DFT calculations proved the formation of hydrogen-bonded complexes where no proton transfer mechanism was found.
