Repeatable ring expansions by [2,3]-sigmatropic shifts in cyclic allylsulfonium allylides; synthesis of medium- and large-sized thiacycles Allylation of a 2-vinyl thiacyclus with allyl bromide in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol followed by ylide generation by use of aqueous potassium hydroxide results in a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement with formation of a new 2-vinyl thiacyclus enlarged by three carbon atoms (Scheme 1). In this way, starting from the 5-membered ring 1 , a series of four ring enlargement sequences leads to the 17-membered thiacycles 9 and 10 via the 8-, 11- and 14-membered rings 4 , 7 and 8 (Scheme 2). 相似文献
It is the aim of this paper to introduce two new notions of discrepancy. They are defined by the formulas $$\begin{gathered} \Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\left| z \right| = r} \left| {\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 N}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} N}} \right)\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {f\left( {z e^2 \pi i\omega \left( n \right)} \right)} - f\left( 0 \right)} \right|, and \hfill \\ \delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\left| z \right| = r} \left| {\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 N}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} N}} \right)\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {f\left( {z \omega \left( n \right)} \right)} \cdot z - \int\limits_0^z {f\left( \zeta \right)d\zeta } } \right|, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ wheref is a holomorphic function defined in the unit disc withf(k)(0)≠0 for allk∈?,r<1 is a positive number, and ω is a sequence in [0, 1]. The first of these discrepancies can be generalized for multidimensional sequences. ω is uniform distributed if and only if limN→∞ΔNr(ω;f)=0 resp. limN→∞δNr(ω;f)=0. These results are proved in a quantitative way by estimating the classical discrepancyDN(ω) by means ofΔNr(ω;f) and δNr(ω;f): $$\begin{gathered} \Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) \ll D_N \left( \omega \right) \ll \Phi \left( {\Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right)} \right), \hfill \\ \delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) \ll D_N \left( \omega \right) \ll \Psi \left( {\delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right)} \right). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The functions Φ and Ψ only depend onf andr. These estimations are based on the inequalities ofKoksma-Hlawka andErdös-Turán. 相似文献
The diphosphate ester (ThDP) of thiamin (vitamin B1) is an important cofactor of enzymes within the carbohydrate metabolism. The initial reaction step shared by all ThDP-dependent enzymes is the deprotonation of the C2–H of the thiazolium ring. The replacement of the 4′-amino group by a hydroxyl one in the pyrimidine ring leads to the oxy-ThDP analogue which is known as an antagonist in thiamin catalysis.
Ab initio and DFT calculations on the MP2/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to study the proton relay function in thiamin and oxythiamin systems. Both MP2 and B3LYP calculations show significant differences of the reaction coordinate of the ylide formation in the systems. Tautomers, protonated and deprotonated species of both systems show different trends regarding their stability. The influence of correlation effects on the results is discussed by comparison with the HF-SCF/6-31G* data. Frequency calculations on the B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to characterize the minima and transition state structures, respectively. 相似文献
Several mono- and bicyclic 6-methoxy-2-pyrones having substituents at C4 and C5 can be prepared regiospecifically by either of two routes: (1) regiospecific construction of a glutaconic half-ester followed by dehydrative cyclization, and (2)regiospecific Friedel-Crafts acylation of 6-methoxy-2-pyrones at C5. These pyrones undergo clean and regiospecific Diels-Alder cycloadditions with various unsymmetrical dienophiles, e.g., quinones, unsaturated esters, etc, with subsequent loss of carbon dioxide. In this manner several polycyclic aromatic natural products have been prepared such as chrysophanol, helminthosporin, pachybasin, 2-acetylemodin and the purported structure for orientalone. The utility of this approach for the synthesis of the anthracyclines is demonstrated by its use in the preparation of various tetracyclic intermediates for anthracycline synthesis. 相似文献
Magnetic measurements onHeusler alloys (Co,T)2XY (field and temperature dependence) are performed around theCurie points (temperature range:TC–50 toTC+50). A method otherwise used to get rid of ferromagnetic impurities only (g versus 1/H plot) is applied to pure ferromagnets and yields completely new g (extrap.) versusT curves with a maximumTmax>
TC. The method was applied to pure gadolinium first which has aCurie point within the accessible region of the susceptibility measuring device. 相似文献
Summary The activities of218Po,214Po and211Bi were determined in samples obtained of soil/gas. Sampling work was taken in Jáchymov (Czech Republic) at the outcrop of
the Geister-vein,by electrostatic precipitation from filtered soil gas on stainless steel disks.The samples were measured
in a field laboratory using a semi-conductor alpha-spectrometer.The activities of218Po,214Po and211Bi were calculated.Samples taken from active dump material (near-by radon source) exhibited a high211Bi/214Po ratio, while those of the vein outcrop (a relatively deeper source) had a low ratio.A mathematical model was employed to
determine the radon age calculated from the actinon/radon input ratio.This varied in a range of 5.6 to -7.7 seconds.Negative
age values are probably caused by the preference for actinon, which rapidly comes into equilibrium with the source of this
gas. 相似文献
The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectra of free base phthalocyanine (Pc), Mg-Pc, and Zn-Pc molecules in superfluid helium droplets at T=0.38 K have been studied. The spectra reveal the rich vibronic structure of the S(1)<--S(0) electronic transitions. The band origins of the transitions consist of zero phonon lines accompanied by phonon wings, which originate from simultaneous electronic excitation of the molecule and excitation of the collective modes of the helium surrounding it. The phonon wings have discrete structures suggesting localization of some helium atoms in the neighborhood of the molecules. Zero phonon lines of Mg-Pc and Zn-Pc molecules are split into three components, which are separated by 0.2-0.4 cm(-1). Possible mechanism of splitting involves static or dynamic Jahn-Teller interaction of metal-phthalocyanine molecules in the twofold degenerate S(1)((1)E(u)) state with the helium shell. 相似文献
Summary While the reaction of the 4-oxo-Neu 5 Ac derivative2 a with tributoxy methyl zirconate led exclusively to equatorial 4-C-methyl derivative3 a, the analogous reaction with tetramethyl zirconate yielded a 3:2 mixture of both diastereoisomeres3 a and4 a. After removal of protecting groups the 5-acetamido-3,4-dideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid5 a and 5-acetamido-3,4-dideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonic acid6 a were obtained. The 4-C-methylene derivative was prepared by treatment of the same 4-oxo-derivative with CH2I2/Zn/Cp2ZrCl2. Subsequent hydrogenation led to both epimeric 4-deoxy-4-C-methyl derivatives8 a and9 a. Final removal of protecting groups gave the 5-acetamido-3,4,5-trideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid10 a respectively the 5-acetamido-2,7-anhydro-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-trideoxy-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonic acid11 a. The -methylketosides of the 4-deoxy-4-C-methyl- (16) and 4-C-methylene-Neu 5 Ac (15) were prepared via the peracetylated derivatives to obtain modell substrates for enzymatic studies. Thus all free acids were tested for inhibition of CMP-sialate synthease. Only the 4-C-methylene compound15 showed most unexpectedly a strong competitive inhibition of this enzyme.
Strukturelle Abwandlungen an N-Acetylneuraminsäure, 19. Mitt.: Synthese der beiden Epimerenpaare der 4-C-Methyl- und 4-Deoxy-4-C-methyl- sowie des -Methylketosids der 4-Deoxy-4-C-methylen-N-acetylneuraminsäure. Verhalten gegenüber CMP-Sialat-Synthase
Zusammenfassung Während die Umsetzung des 4-Oxoderivates2 a mit (BuO)3MeZr ausschließlich zur equatorialen 4-C-Methylverbindung3 a führt, wurde bei der Reaktion mitMe4Zr ein 3:2-Gemisch der beiden Diastereomeren3 a und4 a erhalten. Das 4-C-Methylenderivat7 a wurde durch Reaktion derselben 4-Oxoverbindung mit CH2I2/Zn/Cp2ZrCl2 erhalten. Eine anschließende Hydrierung (H2-Pd/C) führte zu einem trennbaren Germisch der beiden 4-Deoxy-4-C-methylderivative8 a und9 a. Diese Verbindungen konnten durch das Entfernen der Schutzgruppen einerseits in die 5-Acetamido-3,4,5-trideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonsäure10 a und 5-Acetamido-2,7-anhydro-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-tridoxy-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonsäure11 a umgewandelt werden. Die Verbindungen Methyl-5-acetamido-4-C-methylen-3,4,5-trideoxy--D-manno-2-nonulopyranosidonat (15) und Methyl-5-acetemido-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-tridoxy--D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulopyranosidonat (16) wurden als Modellverbindungen für enzymatische Untersuchungen über peracetylierte Zwischenstufen hergestellt. Überraschenderweise zeigte nur die 4-C-Methylenverbindung15 eine starke kompetitive Hemmung gegenüber CMP-Sialat-Synthase.
Control of DNA binding of HDH-3, a 18-residue polypeptide based on the recognition helix of the Q50K engrailed homeodomain, has been achieved. HDH-3 was linked to an azobenzene cross-linker through two cysteine residues in an i, i + 11 spacing. For the thermodynamically stable trans configuration of the cross-linker, the dark-adapted peptide (dad-HDH-3) adopted a mainly alpha-helical structure as judged by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. After irradiation with light of 360 nm, the helical content of the peptide (irrad-HDH-3) was reduced significantly and the CD spectrum of the irradiated peptide resembled that of the largely unstructured, unalkylated peptide. Despite lacking helices-1 and -2 and the N-terminal arm of Q50K engrailed, dad-HDH-3 bound to its natural DNA target sequence TAATCC (QRE) with high affinity (K(D) = 7.5 +/- 1.3 nM). The binding affinity for the mutant DNA sequence, TAATTA (ERE), was reduced significantly (K(D) = 140 +/- 11 nM). Unlike irrad-HDH-3, which like the unalkylated parent peptide displayed only marginal DNA binding specificity, dad-HDH-3 specified base pairs 5 and 6 of QRE with an accuracy rivaling that of the intact wild-type Q50K engrailed homeodomain, making dad-HDH-3 the most specific designed DNA binding miniature homeodomain reported to date. Moreover, DNA binding affinity and specificity of HDH-3 could be controlled externally by irradiation with light. 相似文献
Reversible control of the conformation of proteins was employed to probe the relationship between flexibility and specificity of the basic helix-loop-helix protein MyoD. A fusion protein (apaMyoD) was designed where the basic DNA binding helix of MyoD was stablized by an amino-terminal extension with a sequence derived from the bee venom peptide apamin. The disulfide-stabilized helix from apamin served as a nucleus for a helix that extended for a further ten residues, thereby holding apaMyoD's DNA recognition helix in a predominantly alpha-helical conformation. The thermal stability of the DNA complexes of apaMyoD was increased by 13 degrees C relative to MyoD-bHLH. Measurements of the fluorescence anisotropy change on DNA binding indicated that apaMyoD bound to E-box-containing DNA sequences with enhanced affinity relative to MyoD-bHLH. Consequently, the DNA binding specificity of apaMyoD was increased 10-fold. 相似文献
