Fragmentation studies on monensin A and B by accurate-mass electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

Monensin A and B were studied by electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and the fragment ions were confirmed by accurate-mass measurements. Analyses were performed on both a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) and a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer. The analysis revealed that fragment ions were produced by Grob-Wharton fragmentations and pericyclic rearrangements in addition to various simple neutral losses. A study of the protonated and sodiated sodium salt revealed different fragmentation pathways for these species, thus complementary structural information could be gained. A complete fragmentation pathway of monensin A and B protonated sodium salt [(M-H+Na)+H])+) and sodiated sodium salt [(M-H+Na)+Na](+) is proposed. MS(3) analysis confirmed the separate fragmentation pathways.     

A formal total synthesis of (-)-FR901483, using a tandem cationic aza-Cope rearrangement/Mannich cyclization approach

A formal total synthesis of the immunosuppressant FR901483 has been accomplished. The key step in the synthesis utilizes a tandem cationic aza-Cope rearrangement/Mannich cyclization reaction for accessing the unprecedented bridging tricyclic azaspirane substructure of this compound. The tandem reaction proceeds through a bridgehead iminium ion, a functionality that has rarely been explored in the context of natural product syntheses. Improved stereoselectivity was observed in an aldol reaction when using a Boc-protected amino aldehyde and zinc chloride as an additive. A stereoselective epimerization of the aldehyde-containing stereocenter was achieved with l-phenylalanine upon completion of the Mannich cyclization. Finally, this synthesis is the only one to date that controls the stereochemistry of the oxygen-bearing stereocenters. All other synthetic routes required late stage adjustments to at least one of these stereocenters.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Organocobalt(III) Complexes with Secondary Alkyls or Bulky Schiff Base Equatorial Ligands

Alkylcobalt(III) Schiff base B(12) model complexes with secondary alkyls or a bulky diamine in the equatorial position were synthesized and characterized. Structures have been first determined by X-ray diffraction analysis for i-C(4)H(9)Co(salen)(gamma-pic) (I), n-C(3)H(7)Co(salen)(gamma-pic) (II) and C(2)H(5)Co(SB) (III), where salen = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneamine) dianion; SB = 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneamine) dianion, gamma-pic = gamma-picoline. Crystal data for I (CoC(26)N(3)O(2)H(30)): space group P2(1)/c with a = 6.661(5) ?, b = 18.612(2) ?, c = 19.533(3) ?, beta = 98.93(1) degrees, V = 2392.10 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.320 g.cm(-3), Z = 4, and R = 0.048 for 4469 measured reflections. Crystal data for II (CoC(25)N(3)O(2)H(28)): space group P2(1)/c, a = 9.609(6) ?, b = 19.169(8) ?, c = 12.995(9) ?, beta = 106.9(7) degrees, V = 2290.4 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.332 g.cm(-1), Z = 4, and R = 0.048 for 4358 measured reflections. Crystal data for III (CoC(22)N(2)O(2)H(27)): space group P2(1)/c, a = 8.318(3) ?, b = 21.579(2) ?, c = 11.572(2) ?, beta = 93.35(1) degrees, V = 2073.7 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.314 g.cm(-1), Z = 4, and R = 0.060 for 3954 measured reflections. The crystal structure data reveal that complexes I and II display six-coordinate octahedral geometry; their Co-C, Co-N bond lengths, as well as the Co-C-C angles, are very close to those in 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Complex III is one of the very few compounds having five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry and observed instability of the Co-C bond.     

Titania membrane preparation with chemical stability for very hash environments applications

The high-quality tubular titania MF membranes are successfully prepared by dip-coating techniques and systematically investigated with regard to their corrosive resistances. The experiments show that dispersants PAA and anatase powder were preferably employed to prepare desired suspensions with solid loading 10–15 wt.% and that suspensions properties significantly affect the final membranes quality. The titania MF membranes with pure water permeability 742.42 l m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹ and 0.1 μm pore diameter have been obtained using the prepared suspensions. The corrosion resistance of titania membranes exhibits that the anatase layers are more stable than the alumina supports in boiling corrosive medium and that the poor quality titania MF membranes become more deteriorated due to its top layer pore blockages and fouling layer formation, which provides a wide range of practical application fields in very hash environments with reliable data supports.     

Theoretical Study of Weakly Bound Dimers between Hydrogen Fluoride and Some Polar Molecules

Weakly bound linear and bent dimers, FH—X (where X = CO, OC, CNH, NCH, N₂O and ON₂), are investigated using the DFT B3LYP and ab initio MP2 methods with the same basis sets (6–311++G(3df,2pd)). The strengths of the H—C or H—N H‐bonds in dimers FH—CO, FH—CNH, and FH—N₂O are compared with those of the H—O or H—N H‐bonds in dimers FH—OC, FH—NCH, and FH—ON₂. The results obtained for the H‐bond distances, the elongation effect of the HF bond, the red shift of the HF stretching frequency, and the energy difference between the dimer and the charge transfer reveal that the H‐bonds of the first group of dimers are stronger than those of the second. The Gibbs energies calculated for the six dimer formations indicate that the weakly bound dimers are unstable at room temperature (T = 298 K) (FH—X's → FH + X's, ΔG < 0).     

[Co(3,3-tri)(amp)Cl][ZnCl4]一对邻位差向异构体的晶体结构

The crystal structures of a pair isomers of [Co(3,3-tri)(amp)Cl][ZnCl₄] (here 3,3-tri = N-(3-Aminoprop- yl)-1,3-propanediamine; amp=2-(Aminomethyl)pyridine) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffrac-tion. They are the epimers with the only difference of the orientation of the Sec-NH proton in 3,3-tri ligand. The crystals with the anti-epimer (m1[ZnCl₄]·CH₃OH·H₂O) are monoclinic, space group C2/c with eight molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=30.401(5)?,b=8.0469(13)?,c=18.817(3)?,β=93.346(3)°,V=4595.3(12)?³,D_c=1.708g·cm^-3,Z=8,F₀₀₀=2416,R=0.0462,R_w=0.1304. The crystals of the syn-epimer (m2[ZnCl₄]·H₂O) are triclinic, space group P1 with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=8.9752(12)?,b=9.8855(12)?,c=12.6886(16)?,α=89.228(3)°,β=76.447(2)°,γ=80.428(3)°,V=1078.8(2)nm³,D_c=1.721g·cm^-3,Z=2,F₀₀₀=568,R=0.0313,R_w=0.0929. The crystal parameters, such as bond lengths and angles, are well consistent with the data of an ab initio computational result (RHF/LANL2DZ opti-mised structure). The average error for bond length is about 1.6%, only two of them in the isomer m3 (Co-N2 and Co-N4) are over 3%, (3.09% and 4.28% respectively). The errormax for bond angle is 2.52%, the bond angles with an over 2% error are only 3.6% out of all bond angles.
