Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as Efficient Catalyst for One‐pot Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Piperidines

Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O is used as an efficient and effective catalyst for the one‐pot three‐component synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines from aromatic aldehydes, anilines and b–ketoesters in ethanol at ambient temperature. This procedure includes some important aspects like the easy work‐up, no need to column chromatography, simple and readily available precursors, and good to high yields.     

A novel condition for capillary electrophoretic analysis of reductively aminated saccharides without removal of excess reagents

We have identified novel CE conditions for the separation of 7‐amino‐4‐methylcoumarin‐labeled monosaccharides and oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. Using a neutrally coated capillary and alkaline borate buffer containing hydroxypropylcellulose and ACN, saccharide derivatives form anionic borate complexes, which move from the cathode to the anode in an electric field and are detected near the anodic end. Excess labeling reagents and other fluorescent products remain at the cathodic end. Fluorimetric detection using an LED as a light source enables determination of monosaccharide derivatives with good linearity between at least 0.4 and 400 μM, may correspond to 140 amol to 140 fmol. The lower LOD (S/N = 5) is only 80 nM in the sample solution (ca. 28 amol). The results were comparable to reported values using fluorometric detection LC. The method was also applied to the analysis of oligosaccharides that were enzymatically released from glycoproteins. Fine resolution enables profiling of glycans in glycoproteins. The applicability of the method was examined by applying it to other derivatives labeled with nonacidic tags such as ethyl p‐aminobenzoate‐ and 2‐aminoacridone‐labeled saccharides.

Synthesis of 7‐Alkoxy/Hydroxy‐α‐methyltryptamines

Abstract

A simple method for the preparation of 7‐alkoxy/hydroxy‐α‐methyl‐DL‐tryptamines is reported. The key steps of the synthesis are the Japp–Klingemann coupling of 2‐piperidone‐3‐carboxylic acid 3 with diazonium salts 4, the Fischer‐type cyclization of hydrazones 5 to β‐carboline derivatives 6 and their hydrolysis to title compounds 8.     

Message passing interface and multithreading hybrid for parallel molecular docking of large databases on petascale high performance computing machines

A mixed parallel scheme that combines message passing interface (MPI) and multithreading was implemented in the AutoDock Vina molecular docking program. The resulting program, named VinaLC, was tested on the petascale high performance computing (HPC) machines at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. To exploit the typical cluster‐type supercomputers, thousands of docking calculations were dispatched by the master process to run simultaneously on thousands of slave processes, where each docking calculation takes one slave process on one node, and within the node each docking calculation runs via multithreading on multiple CPU cores and shared memory. Input and output of the program and the data handling within the program were carefully designed to deal with large databases and ultimately achieve HPC on a large number of CPU cores. Parallel performance analysis of the VinaLC program shows that the code scales up to more than 15K CPUs with a very low overhead cost of 3.94%. One million flexible compound docking calculations took only 1.4 h to finish on about 15K CPUs. The docking accuracy of VinaLC has been validated against the DUD data set by the re‐docking of X‐ray ligands and an enrichment study, 64.4% of the top scoring poses have RMSD values under 2.0 Å. The program has been demonstrated to have good enrichment performance on 70% of the targets in the DUD data set. An analysis of the enrichment factors calculated at various percentages of the screening database indicates VinaLC has very good early recovery of actives. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

FOX-7转晶行为的太赫兹光谱及理论计算研究

1, 1 -二氨基- 2, 2 -二硝基乙烯(FOX-7)是一款新型高能钝感炸药, 为了研究温度变化对其分子结构特性的影响, 利用太赫兹时域光谱技术对持续升温(298K→393 K)过程中FOX-7 在0.2—2.5 THz 频率范围内的吸收光谱进行了在线探测, 结果发现随着样品温度的升高, FOX-7 的吸收谱带发生变化, 于384 K 时出现一个新的吸收特征峰, 且该吸收峰的峰强逐渐升高. 基于密度泛函理论(DFT), 对样品在298 K 和393 K 温度下的晶体结构进行了小于2.5 THz 范围内吸收频谱的模拟计算, 完成了对FOX-7 两种晶型实验吸收特征峰的指认. 分析表明FOX-7 的分子结构会受温度的影响而发生改变, 互为异构晶型的基团表现出的振动模式不同, 温度384 K 时FOX-7 开始发生α→β 晶型转变, 且该晶型转变过程是可逆的, 新出现的1.12 THz 特征峰在393 K 时的振动是由—NO₂ 和—NH₂ 的摆动及各自的扭动所致.
