The piperidine alkaloid (–)-allosedamine ( 1 ) has been synthesized, in 21% overall yield, in nine steps starting from the formyl-ester 4 . The synthesis features the reaction cascade 7 → 3 → 2 , involving asymmetric electrophilic enolate hydroxyamination, hydroxylamine/aldehyde condensation, and nitrone/styrene cycloaddition, as well as the reductive N/O cleavage-decyanation 12 → 1 . 相似文献
The Pd(II) complexes of new 2N1O-donor ligands containing a pendent indole, 3-[N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzylamino]ethylindole (Htbu-iepp), 1-methyl-3-[N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzylamino]ethylindole (Htbu-miepp), 3-[N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzylamino]methylindole (Htbu-impp), and 3-(N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-4-hydroxybenzylamino)ethylindole (Hp-iepp) (H denotes a dissociable proton), were synthesized, and the structures of [Pd(tbu-iepp)Cl] (1a), [Pd(tbu-iepp-c)Cl] (1b), [Pd(tbu-miepp)Cl] (3), and [Pd(p-iepp-c)Cl] (4) (tbu-iepp-c and p-iepp-c denote tbu-iepp and p-iepp bound to Pd(II) through a carbon atom, respectively) were determined by X-ray analysis. Complexes 1a prepared in CH(2)Cl(2)/CH(3)CN and 3 prepared in CH(3)CN have a pyridine nitrogen, an amine nitrogen, a phenolate oxygen, and a chloride ion in the coordination plane. Complex 1b prepared in CH(3)CN has the same composition as 1a and was revealed to have the C2 atom of the indole ring bound to Pd(II) with the Pd(II)-C2 distance of 1.973(2) A. The same Pd(II)-indole C2 bonding was revealed for 4. Interconversion between 1a and 1b was observed for their solutions, the equilibrium being dependent on the solvent used. Reaction of 1b and 4 with 1 equiv of Ce(IV) in DMF gave the corresponding one-electron-oxidized species, which exhibited an ESR signal at g = 2.004 and an absorption peak at approximately 550 nm, indicating the formation of the Pd(II)-indole pi-cation radical species. The half-life, t(1/2), of the indole radical species at room temperature was calculated to be 20 s (k(obs) = 3.5 x 10(-)(2) s(-)(1)) for 1b. The cyclic voltammogram for 1b in DMF gave two irreversible oxidation peaks at E(pa) = 0.68 and 0.80 V (vs Ag/AgCl), which were ascribed to the oxidation processes of the coordinated indole and phenolate moieties, respectively. 相似文献
Three new pseudoguaiane-type sesquiterpenes, dichrocepholides A-C, and two new pseudoguaiane-type sesquiterpene dimers, dichrocepholides D and E, were isolated from the aerial part of Dichrocephala integrifolia. Their stereostructures were determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. In addition, the extract and its principal sesquiterpene constituent, parthenin, showed an inhibitory activity on nitric oxide (NO) production and on induction of inducible NO synthase. 相似文献
A chitosan resin functionalized with 3-nitro-4-amino benzoic acid moiety (CCTS-NABA resin) was newly synthesized for the collection/concentration of trace molybdenum by using cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) as base material. The carboxyl group of the moiety was chemically attached to amino group of cross-linked chitosan through amide bond formation. The adsorption behavior of molybdenum as well as other 60 elements on the resin was examined by passing the sample solutions through a mini-column packed with the resin. After the elution of the elements collected on the resin with 1 M HNO3, the eluates were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
The CCTS-NABA resin can adsorb several metal ions, such as vanadium, gallium, arsenic, selenium, silver, bismuth, thorium, tungsten, tin, tellurium, copper, and molybdenum at appropriate pHs. Among these metal ions, only molybdenum could be adsorbed almost completely on the resin at acidic regions. An excellent selectivity toward molybdenum could be obtained at pH 3–4. The adsorption capacity of CCTS-NABA resin for Mo(VI) was 380 mg g−1 resin. Through the column pretreatment, alkali and alkaline earth metals in river water and seawater samples were successfully removed.
The CCTS-NABA resin was applied to the adsorption/collection of molybdenum in river water and seawater samples. The concentrations of molybdenum in river water samples were found in the range of 0.84 and 0.95 ppb (ng g−1), whereas molybdenum in seawater was about 9 ppb. The validation of the proposed method was carried out by determining molybdenum in the certified reference materials of SLRS-4, CASS-4, and NASS-5 after passing through the CCTS-NABA resin; the results showed good agreement with the certified values. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] A concise and enantioselective synthesis of (S)-2-cyclohexyl-2-phenylglycolic acid as a key intermediate for (S)-oxybutynin is reported. The crucial asymmetric tetrasubstituted carbon center was constructed with excellent stereoselectivity through the proline-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and ethyl phenylglyoxylate under mild conditions. 相似文献
To clarify the nature of the propagating species in cationic polymerization of styrene catalyzed by acetyl perchlorate, the molecular weight distribution of the polymer was investigated under various conditions. The molecular weight distribution curve for the polymer obtained in methylene chloride at 0°C showed a double peak phenomenon. This suggests that two or more kinds of propagating species participate simultaneously in the propagation reaction. The weight fraction W(H) of the polymer corresponding to the higher molecular weight peak increased with increasing polarity of the solvent. W(H) decreased when the concentration of the ionic species was increased either by an increase of the catalyst concentration or by the addition of the common salt such as tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. On the other hand, the position of the peak in the molecular weight distribution curve was independent of polymerization conditions. It was concluded that the higher molecular weight part of the polymer was produced under conditions for conductive to dissociation of the propagating species and the less dissociated propagating species was responsible for the lower molecular weight part of the polymer. 相似文献
Heating mixtures of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes and aryl amines under argon afforded 9-arylamino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, via cyclization of the resulting 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldimine intermediates. Heating in the presence of oxygen afforded (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, which were successfully hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to give pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones. 相似文献
A highly sensitive, selective and simple method is described for the determination of histamine by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The method is based on an intramolecular excimer-forming fluorescence derivatization of histamine with 4-(1-pyrene)butyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PSE), followed by reversed-phase HPLC. Histamine, having two amino moieties in a molecule, was converted to the dipyrene-labeled derivative by reaction with PSE. The derivative afforded intramolecular excimer fluorescence (450-540 nm), which can clearly be discriminated from the monomer fluorescence (370-420 nm) emitted from PSE. Typically, a 10 micro L sample solution was mixed with 100 micro L of derivatization reagent solution, which was a mixture of 0.5 mm PSE in acetonitrile and 0.5 mm potassium carbonate in water (8:2, v/v). The derivatization was carried out at 100 degrees C for 90 min. The PSE derivative of histamine could be separated by reversed-phase ODS column with isocratic elution using acetonitrile:water (82:18, v/v) containing 0.03% triethylamine. The detection limit (singnal-to-noise ratio = 3) of histamine was 0.5 fmol for a 30 micro L injection. The method was successfully applied to the determination of histamine in human urine, and had enough selectivity and sensitivity for urinary histamine quantification. 相似文献
Abstract— We established a monoclonal antibody(DEM–1) that recognizes UV-induced DNA damage other than cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers or(6–4)photoproducts. The binding ofDEM–1 antibody to 254 nm UV-irradiated DNA increased with subsequent exposure to UV wavelengths longer than 310 nm, whereas that of the 64M-2 antibody specific for the(6–4)photoproduct decreased with this treatment. Furthermore, the increase inDEM–1 binding was inhibited by the presence of the 64M-2 antibody during the exposure. We concluded that theDEM–1 antibody specifically recognized the Dewar photoproduct, which is the isomeric form of the(6–4)photoproduct. TheDEM–1 antibody, however, also bound to DNA irradiated with high fluences of 254 nm UV, suggesting that 254 nm UV could induce Dewar photoproducts without subsequent exposure to longer wavelengths of UV. Furthermore, an action spectral study demonstrated that 254 nm was the most efficient wavelength for Dewar photoproduct induction in the region from 254 to 365 nm, as well as cyclobutane dimers and(6–4)photoproducts, although the action spectrum values in the U V-B region were significantly higher compared with those for cyclobutane dimer and(6–4)photoproduct induction. 相似文献
The lankacidin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces rochei strain 7434AN4 was found to span 31 kb of the giant linear plasmid pSLA2-L and contain a polyketide synthase (PKS)/nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) hybrid gene (lkcA), type I PKS genes, and pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) biosynthetic genes (lkcK-lkcO). Feeding of PQQ to a pqq mutant restored the lankacidin production, suggesting its crucial role in an oxidation process. However, formation of the 17-membered macrocyclic ring was not catalyzed by PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase (Orf23), but was by flavin-dependent amine oxidase (LkcE). Compound LC-KA05 isolated from an lkcE disruptant was an acyclic intermediate lacking the C2-C18 linkage. These results suggested a cyclization mechanism for the synthesis of the lankacidin macrocyclic skeleton. 相似文献
