Prearranged Glycosides,Part 10. Intramolecular Glycosylation with Cellobiosyl,Lactosyl, and Maltosyl Donors

ABSTRACT

Acetyl protected 1,2-O-(1-methoxyethylidene)-disaccharides 1 of maltose, cellobiose, and lactose, respectively were converted via the corresponding benzyl protected couterparts 2, the benzyl protected phenyl 2-O-acetyl- 3 and 2-O-unprotected 1-thio-glycoside disaccharides 4 into 2-O-succinoylated disaccharides 5. The latter were esterified with benzyl 2-O-benzoyl-4,6-di-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside (6) to afford succinyl linked derivatives 7 the benzylidene groups of which were regioselectively opened to give prearranged glycoside trisaccharides 8. Intramolecular glycosylation of the latter with N-iodosuccinimide resulted in exclusive formation of the corresponding α-(1→4)-linked trisaccharides 9. No influence of the donor moiety on the diastereoselectivity of the intramolecular glycosylation was observed.     

Phenylene-Bridged Perylene Monoimides as Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells: A Study on the Structure–Property Relationship

A series of non-fullerene acceptors based on perylene monoimides coupled in the peri position through phenylene linkers were synthesized via Suzuki-coupling reactions. Various substitution patterns were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with experimental data to elucidate the geometry and their optical and electrochemical properties. Further investigations of the bulk properties with grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) gave insight into the stacking behavior of the acceptor thin films. Electrochemical and morphological properties correlate with the photovoltaic performance of devices with the polymeric donor PBDB-T and a maximum efficiency of 3.17 % was reached. The study gives detailed information about structure–property relationships of perylene-linker-perylene compounds.     

Analytical Methods for Determination of Phytic Acid and Other Inositol Phosphates: A Review

From the early precipitation-based techniques, introduced more than a century ago, to the latest development of enzymatic bio- and nano-sensor applications, the analysis of phytic acid and/or other inositol phosphates has never been a straightforward analytical task. Due to the biomedical importance, such as antinutritional, antioxidant and anticancer effects, several types of methodologies were investigated over the years to develop a reliable determination of these intriguing analytes in many types of biological samples; from various foodstuffs to living cell organisms. The main aim of the present work was to critically overview the development of the most relevant analytical principles, separation and detection methods that have been applied in order to overcome the difficulties with specific chemical properties of inositol phosphates, their interferences, absence of characteristic signal (e.g., absorbance), and strong binding interactions with (multivalent) metals and other biological molecules present in the sample matrix. A systematical and chronological review of the applied methodology and the detection system is given, ranging from the very beginnings of the classical gravimetric and titrimetric analysis, through the potentiometric titrations, chromatographic and electrophoretic separation techniques, to the use of spectroscopic methods and of the recently reported fluorescence and voltammetric bio- and nano-sensors.     

氟利昂F113分子在飞秒激光作用下的多光子电离解离动力学

大气臭氧层因吸收太阳紫外光, 是人类必不可少的保护伞. 氟利昂在太阳光辐射下解离生成破坏臭氧的游离态氯原子, 是破坏大气臭氧层的主要元凶之一. 本文利用飞行时间质谱技术和离子速度成像技术研究了氟利昂F113(三氟三氯乙烷)分子在800 nm 飞秒光作用下的多光子电离解离动力学. 利用飞行时间质谱探测技术, 得到了三氟三氯乙烷在该波长飞秒激光作用下发生多光子电离解离产生的碎片质谱. 通过荷质比对碎片质谱进行了详细的标定和分析. 在质谱上未发现母体离子, 所有观察到的离子都是由于激光脉冲作用下产生的碎片. 三个最主要的碎片离子是CFCl₂⁺, CF₂Cl⁺, C₂F₃Cl₂⁺. 通过飞行时间质谱标定, 发现并归属了多个解离通道. 三个主要的解离机理分别为: 1) C-Cl键断裂直接生产氯自由基的通道C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→C₂F₃Cl₂⁺+Cl; 2) C--C键断裂C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→CFCl₂⁺+CF₂Cl; 3) C--C键断裂C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→CF₂Cl⁺+CFCl₂. 利用离子速度成像技术对这三个主要通道产生的碎片离子进行成像, 得到了C₂F₃Cl₂⁺, CFCl₂⁺和CF₂Cl⁺离子的速度影像. 由C--Cl键断裂产生的碎片离子C₂F₃Cl₂^{+}的速度分布由两个高斯分布曲线拟合, 而由C--C键断裂产生的碎片离子CFCl₂⁺和CF₂Cl⁺可以用一个高斯曲线拟合. 通过影像分析得到了解离碎片的平动能分布和角向分布各向异性参数等详尽的动力学信息. 结合高精度密度泛函理论计算对解离动力学进行了进一步的分析和讨论.深入认识氟利昂的解离动力学可为进一步控制破坏臭氧层提供理论参考和实验依据.     

Spin-locking and recoupling of homonuclear dipolar interaction between spin-3/2 nuclei under magic-angle sample spinning

Numerical simulations and experiments were used to examine the possibility of employing strong spin-lock fields for recoupling of homonuclear dipolar interactions between spin-3/2 quadrupolar nuclei and to compare it to the rotary-resonance recoupling at weak spin-lock fields. It was shown that strong spin-lock pulses under MAS conditions can lead to recoupling, provided that the electric-field gradient principal axes systems of the coupled nuclei are aligned and that their quadrupolar coupling constants are approximately the same. The phenomenon is based on the fact that strong spin-lock pulses induce adiabatic transfer of magnetization between the central-transition coherence and the triple-quantum coherence with equal periodicity as is the periodicity of the time-dependent dipolar coupling. Because of the synchronous variation of the state of the spin system and of the dipolar interaction, the effect of the latter on the central-transition coherence and on the triple-quantum coherence is not averaged out by sample rotation. The approach is, however, very sensitive to the relative orientation of the electric-field gradient principal axes systems and therefore less robust than the approach based on weak spin-lock pulses that satisfy rotary-resonance condition.     

Novel multifunctional water- and oil-repellent,antibacterial, and flame-retardant cellulose fibres created by the sol–gel process

This research aimed to prepare cotton fibres with novel multifunctional water- and oil-repellent, antibacterial, and flame-retardant properties. A three-component equimolar sol mixture, which included 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride, and P,P-diphenyl-N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl) phosphinic amide, was applied to the cotton fabric using the sol–gel process. The presence of the coating on the cotton fibres was confirmed by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The functional properties of the coated cotton fabric were determined from liquid contact angle measurements and antibacterial activity, burning behaviour, and thermo-oxidative stability studies. The results demonstrate that a unique, compatible, and uniform organic-inorganic hybrid polymer network was formed on the fabric surface, which preserved its simultaneous hydrophobic (water contact angle of 135 ± 2°), oleophobic (n-hexadecane contact angle of 117 ± 1°), and bactericidal (bacterial reduction of 100 %) properties and incorporated the enhanced thermo-oxidative stability of the modified cellulose fibres.     

Synthesis and Reaction of the First 1,2‐Oxaphosphetane Complexes

While P^V 1,2‐oxaphosphetanes are well known from the Wittig reaction, their P^III analogues are still unexplored. Herein, the synthesis and reactions of the first 1,2‐oxaphosphetane complexes are presented, which were achieved by reaction of the phosphinidenoid complex [Li(12‐crown‐4)(solv)][(OC)₅W{(Me₃Si)₂HCPCl}] with different epoxides. The title compounds appeared to be stable in toluene up to 100 °C, before unselective decomposition started. Acid‐induced ring expansion with benzonitrile resulted in selective formation of the first complex bearing a 1,3,4‐oxazaphosphacyclohex‐2‐ene ligand.
