Fluorous mixture synthesis of fused-tricyclic hydantoins. Use of a redundant tagging strategy on fluorinated substrates

Simple HPLC experiments were used to identify a redundant tagging scheme wherein six different amino acids were tagged with only four fluorous tags. The tagged amino acids were converted to regiosiomeric mixtures of tricyclic hydantoins. Despite the lack of selectivity, the mixtures were demixed and detagged to give 11 individual pure products in just 25 steps.     

Oximidobenzotetronic acid as a reagent for the separation and gravimetric determination of palladium and cobalt

Oximidobenzotetronic acid is recommended for the separation and gravimetric determination of palladium and cobalt An ethanolic solution of the reagent quantitatively precipitates palladium(II) from solutions which are 0.75 N in acid up to pH 5.1, the complex is weighed as Pd(C₉H₅NO₄)₂. Cobalt(II) can be determined in the filtrate after the precipitation of palladium.

Synthesis and high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry single-bead decoding of split-pool structural libraries of polyamines supported on polystyrene and polystyrene/ethylene glycol resins

Natural polyamines are ubiquitous biomolecules present in all living cells. These cationic compounds play essential roles in both cell growth and differentiation and are known to interact in complex ways with polyanionic biomolecules. Consequently, there is significant interest in expanding nature's polyamine diversity using combinatorial synthesis and screening strategies. This article describes an efficient split-pool solid-phase synthetic strategy toward the generation of encoded libraries of polyamines via the exhaustive borane-promoted reduction of trityl-linked, resin-bound polyamides. Model structural libraries of tetra- and pentaamines were designed from a set of geometrically diverse amino acid building blocks. To encode the libraries, a partial termination synthesis approach was employed at the polyamide stage, allowing each library to be analyzed from single beads by HPLC/ESMS under two sets of conditions featuring both pH extremes. Determination of the sequence of polyamine residues was simply achieved by the mass differences observed between the full oligomers and the terminated ones. Both polystyrene- and TentaGel-supported libraries, including a library of 4913 pentaamines, were prepared and successfully decoded. For the TentaGel-supported libraries, suitable for on-bead aqueous screening of biomolecules, a novel trityl-derivatized resin was prepared in which the trityl group is anchored to the poly(ethylene glycol) chains via a methylene group. The resulting resin is much more resistant than other commercially available polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) trityl resins to the harsh borane reduction conditions required. Two workup conditions for the cleavage of the resultant borane-amine adducts were evaluated on the TentaGel bound polyamide 14. Although the two methods showed a comparable efficiency when using the polystyrene support, with 14 it was found that the piperidine-exchange method afforded polyamines of higher purity than the iodine-based oxidative method previously developed in our laboratory.     

Shape resonances in slow electron scattering by aromatic molecules. I. Anthraquinone derivatives

A series of anthraquinone (C(14)O(2)H(8)) derivatives has been studied by means of electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (ECNI-MS), photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and AM1 quantum chemical calculations. Mean lifetimes of molecular negative ions M(-.) (MNI) have been measured. The mechanism of long-lived MNI formation in the epithermal energy region of incident electrons has been investigated. A simple model of a molecule (a spherical potential well with the repulsive centrifugal term) has been applied for the analysis of the energy dependence of cross sections at the first stage of the electron capture process. It has been shown that a temporary resonance of MNI at the energy approximately 0.5 eV corresponds to a shape resonance with lifetime 1-2.10(-13) s in the f-partial wave (l = 3) of the incident electron. The next resonant state of MNI at the energy approximately 1.7 eV has been associated with the electron excited Feshbach resonance (whose parent state is a triplet npi* transition). In all cases the initial electron state of the MNI relaxes into the ground state by means of a radiationless transition, and the final state of the MNI is a nuclear excited resonance with a lifetime measurable on the mass spectrometry timescale.

Modular solid-phase synthetic approach to optimize structural and electronic properties of oligoboronic acid receptors and sensors for the aqueous recognition of oligosaccharides

This article describes the design and optimization of the first entirely modular, parallel solid-phase synthetic approach for the generation of well-defined polyamine oligoboronic acid receptors and fluorescence sensors for complex oligosaccharides. The synthetic approach allows an effective building of the receptor polyamine backbone, followed by the controlled diversification of the amine benzylic side chains. This approach enabled the testing, in a modular fashion, of the effect of different arylboronic acid units substituted with unencumbering para electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. The feasibility of this approach toward automated synthesis was also investigated with the assembly of a sublibrary of receptors by means of the Irori MiniKan technology. Several sublibraries of anthracene-capped sensors containing two or three arylboronic acids were synthesized, and their binding to a series of model disaccharides was examined in neutral aqueous media. The calculation of association constants by fluorescence titrations confirmed that subtle changes in the structures of the interamine spacers in the polyamine backbone can have a significant effect on the stability of the resulting complexes. Most importantly, this study led to the determination of the preferred electronic characteristics for the arylboronate units, and suggests that a new generation of receptors containing very electron-poor arylboronic acids could lead to a significant improvement of binding affinities.
