Simple and efficient cleavage reaction of the boc group in heterocyclic compounds

Dedicated to the memory of Pr. Ladjama Daif A series of chiral cyclosulfamides have been synthesized by alkaline cyclisation starting from N‐benzoylamino acids (Ala, Val, Leu, Phe) derivatives and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. A simplified and regioselective deprotection of the cyclic compounds (cyclosulfamides) containing the tert‐butyloxycarbonyl group (Boc) has been achieved in good yield by fusion under reduced pressure.     

A discontinuous Galerkin method/HLLC solver for the Euler equations

This paper proposes a fully three‐dimensional non‐linear Euler methodology for solving aerodynamic and acoustic problems in the presence of strong shocks and rarefactions. It uses a discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) within the element, and a Riemann solver (HLLC) at the boundaries to propagate rarefactions while preserving the entropy condition and capturing shocks with no spurious oscillations. This approach is thought to marry the best aspects of finite element and finite volume methods, achieving conservation while not requiring the solution of a large matrix. Examples in which shock and rarefaction waves are well captured are presented and the propagation of acoustic pulses is well demonstrated. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Validated HPLC method for simultaneous quantification of mutant IDH1/2 inhibitors (enasidenib,ivosidenib and vorasidenib) in mouse plasma: Application to a pharmacokinetic study

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) inhibitors comprise a novel class of anticancer drugs, which are approved to treat acute myeloid leukemia patients having mutations on IDH1/2. We report the development and validation of a high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous quantitation of IDH inhibitors, namely enasidenib (EDB), ivosidenib (IDB) and vorasidenib (VDB), in mouse plasma as per the US Food and Drug Administration regulatory guidelines. The method involves extraction of EDB, IDB and VDB along with internal standard (IS; phenacetin) from mouse plasma (100 μl) using a simple protein precipitation process. The chromatographic analysis was performed on an HPLC system using a gradient mobile phase (comprising 10 mm ammonium acetate and acetonitrile in a flow‐gradient) and an X‐Terra Phenyl column. The UV detection wave length was set at λ_max 265 nm. EDB, IDB, VDB and the IS eluted at 7.36, 8.60, 9.50 and 5.12 min, respectively, with a total run time of 10 min. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 0.20–12.5 μg/ml for EDB and 0.50–12.5 μg/ml for IDB and VDB (r² = ≥0.998 for all of the analytes). Validation results met the acceptance criteria. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in mice.     

Efficient Method for The Synthesis of α-Amidophosphonates via the Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction

Abstract

A new series of modified α-amidophosphonates (or β-ketophosphonate) was synthesized by an efficient method, starting from aminoesters and chloroacetyl chloride. We have established that chloroacetyl chloride is a suitable reagent allowing the introduction a halogen moiety for the Arbuzov reaction. The α-amidophosphonates were prepared in two steps (acetylation, phosphorylation).

Synthesis and Biological Activity of New Chiral N‐Acylsulfonamide Bis‐oxazolidin‐2‐ones

A new series of chiral 5‐substituted bis‐oxazolidinones containing an acylsulfonamide moiety has been synthesized starting from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, (l )‐ethyl lactate, and oxazolidin‐2‐ones. All the reactions were conducted at ambient temperature, and the N‐acylsulfonamide bis‐oxazolidin‐2‐ones were obtained with high yields within 2 h. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro against the virulent strain RH of Toxoplasma gondii and the human lymphocytes, and showed promising results.     

A Very Short and Efficient Total Synthesis of Otanthus Maritima Amide.

A new total synthesis of Otanthus Maritima amide 1 was achieved from 6-trimetylsily N-tert-butyl sorbaldimine 6 in 76% global yield. The natural product 1 was obtained in three steps by condensation of 6 on thiophenal in the presence of catalytic amount of CsF (10%) in DMSO followed by oxidation and amidification of the corresponding intermediate.     

Improved Synthesis,Structure, and Solution Characterization of the Cyclic 48-Tungsto-8-Arsenate(V), [H4As8W48O184]36−

We report on an improved synthesis and structural characterization of the cyclic 48-tungsto–8-arsenate(V) [H₄As₈W₄₈O₁₈₄]^36? (1). The mixed lithium–potassium salt of this polyanion, K_26.5Li_9.5[H₄As₈W₄₈O₁₈₄]·90H₂O (KLi-1), has been studied in the solid state by IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis, and in solution by ¹⁸³W NMR spectroscopy.     

Spectroscopic investigations of neodymium cyclotriphosphates

In the framework of systematic investigations in the properties of rare-earth cyclotriphosphates, polycristalline samples of La_1−xNd_xP₃O₉·3H₂O have been synthesized with x=5×10⁻³, 10⁻², 5×10⁻², 10⁻¹ and 1. Absorbance spectra were measured at 300 K in the 300-1000 nm region. Fluorescent emissions from the ⁴F_3/2 multiplet were observed at 300 and 6 K under pulsed laser excitations in either the ⁴F_7/2 or ⁴F_3/2 multiplet and the decays of these emissions were measured. These decays are exponential with decay-times on the order of 100 ns for all values of x. No important lengthening is observed as either the Nd concentration is decreased from 100 to 0.5 at% or the temperature is lowered from 300 to 6 K. These results are in contradiction with those obtained for the anhydrous La_1−xNd_x(PO₃)₃ compounds prepared by progressively heating the corresponding La_1−xNd_xP₃O₉·3H₂O powder materials, a fact which shows the predominant role played by the water molecules in the Nd³⁺ luminescence in the considered hydrated compounds.     

Stability analysis of jointed rock slope

The stability analysis of a jointed rock slope with two sets of unfilled joints, under its own weight, is carried out directly by considering failure surfaces along some particular joints and also going through the intact rock. Simple failure mechanisms using uniform rigid rock-block motions are incorporated in the yield design kinematic approach. They yield an improvement of known results as long as the characteristics strength of the joints are weak enough.
