Synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction using organocatalysts

A novel and green approach for efficient and rapid synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction using organocatalysts at room temperature was reported. The process is a simple, environmentally friendly, rapid, and high yielding reaction for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The catalytic efficiency of various small organocatalysts such as l-proline, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, l-thiaproline, dl-phenylglycine, and (−)-cinchonidine was studied under aqueous, organic, and solvent free conditions.     

Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Activity of n-Tributyltin Derivatives of Pharmaceutically Active Carboxylates

Summary.  Tributyltin(IV) derivatives of six different pharmaceutically active carboxylates were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by different analytical techniques (elemental analysis; infrared, NMR, and mass spectroscopy). ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data were also recorded in six different coordinating and non-coordinating solvents. The antibacterial activities of the compounds were tested using ten different bacteria relative to the reference drugs ampicillin and cephalexin. Received September 20, 2001.

Cystine and cysteine analysis as the same phenylthiocarbamyl derivatives by HPLC in protein hydrolyzates

Summary A new approach is described, and a novel explanation presented, for the high performance liquid chromatographic analysis of cystine and cysteine as their phenylthiocarbamyl derivatives. PTC cystine and cysteine have been eluted with the same retention times and molar responses, most probably due to electrophilic attack of phenylisothiocyanate on cystine resulting in the scission of the disulfide bond yielding two moles of cysteine. Further, total PTC cystine and cysteine have been measured both in model solutions and in standard protein hydrolyzates (lysozyme, bovine albumin, ribonuclease) with the same linearity as the other ineteen amino acids. The reproducibility of the measurements, at the 250–750 pmole level, proved to be 4.1% (Relative Standard Deviation %) or less.     

Electrospray ionization ion-trap multistage mass spectrometric study of sodium cationized aldobiuronic and pseudoaldobiuronic acid derivatives

Fragmentation mechanisms of electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry of aldobiuronic and pseudoaldobiuronic acid derivatives were elucidated by multistage mass spectrometric (MS(n), n = 2-5) measurements of selected ions. Characteristic under the conditions of ESI-MS analysis is the production of alkali metal (Na and K) cationized adducts. The probability the of locations of Na cations in per-O-methylated compounds was proved by quantum chemical calculations, using the Jaguar program. The most probably position of alkali metal attachment is the carboxy group of the methoxycarbonyl C-5 group of the uronic acid unit. Characteristic cleavages vary according the kind of O-derivatization. In most cases they take place on the acidic part of the dimer and at the interglycosidic oxygen atom. As a result, the criteria for the differentiation of aldobiouronic and pseudoaldobiouronic acids derivatives were elucidated.

Study of retention of isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons on GTCB and cyclodextrins

Summary A study has been made of the interaction between graphitized thermal carbon-black and cyclodextrins and a series of 28 derivatives of benzene (benzene, alkyl-, isoalkyl-, dialkyl-, trialkylbenzenes, vinyl-, and allyl-benzene). The specificretention volumes form the basis for a discussion of the mechanism of interaction and drawing conclusions for the practical separation of isomeric compounds.     

Determination of the specific interaction of disubstituted aromatic compounds on hydrous zirconium oxide-loaded porous polymer resin

Summary A porous polymer resin loaded with hydrous zirconium oxide (Zr-gel) was evaluated as a stationary phase for the liquid chromatographic separation of disubstituted aromatic compounds. The prepared Zr-gel was used to separate disubstituted phenols andortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives in reversed-phase mode. The retention time of catechol was greater than those of other disubstituted phenols; this implies that the Zr-gel has specificity for the phenolic hydroxyl group. The retention behavior ofortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives on the Zr-gel was also evaluated in reversedphase mode using buffer. Phthalic acid was specifically retained in the vicinity of pH 6.0, which has been regarded as the equal adsorbic point. Similar behavior was also observed for salicylic acid, although the retention time of salicylic acid was less than that of phthalic acid. It seems that the specific retention behavior of hydrous zirconium oxide is a result of complexation with ligands such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The results of this study have revealed that the retention mechanism of hydrous zirconium oxide is a combination of ion exchange and interaction based on complexation with ligands.     

Determination of the micelle-solute association constants of some benzene and naphthalene derivatives by micellar high performance liquid chromatograph

Summary The interaction of some benzene and naphthalene derivatives with sodium dodecyl sulphate, hexadecyltrimethylmmonium bromide and polyoxyethylene [23] dodecanol micelles has been evaluated by high operformance liquid chromatography using micellar mobile phases. The micelle-solute association constants have been obtained for the compounds investigated. Good correlation between free energy of transfer for water-micelles and for octanol-water has been observed.     

Liquid chromatography of benzene derivatives on a porous methacrylate copolymer containing epoxy groups

Summary The retention of benzene derivatives with nonpolar and polar substituents on a porous methacrylate copolymer containing epoxy groups using both nonpolar and polar eluents was investigated. When n-hexane is used as the eluent, the retention of n-alkylbenzenes and polymethylbenzenes is weaker than that of benzene. In the case of benzene derivatives containing polar functional groups their capacity ratios (k) on this porous polymer increases approximately linearly with the increase of the adsorbate molecules dipole moment. The retention characteristics of the methacrylate copolymer were compared with that of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer and silica gels with a hydroxylated surface and with a surface modified by chemically bonded alkylsilyl groups.
