甲酸铵催化转移氢化还原肽链中的芳香硝基——对氨基苯丙氨酸的间接引入

研究了用甲酸铵催化转移氢化法(AF-CTH)对不同类型肽中的芳香硝基的还原行为, 这些肽类化合物包括促黑激素(MSH: 四肽)、促黄体素释放激素(LHRH: 十肽)和强腓肽(十七肽)的类似物. 用HPLC对还原过程进行了跟踪监测, 结果显示, 除含对氯苯丙氨酸残基的LHRH类似物因发生脱氯副反应不适合用AF-CTH还原外, 其余序列还原过程中均无明显副反应发生, 硝基几乎定量地转化成为相应的氨基, 实现了对氨基苯丙氨酸向肽链的间接引入. 另外发现, 硝基还原所需的时间与肽链长度有关, 肽链越长, 还原所需时间越长, 但与其在序列中的位置关系不明显.

Abstract

Lead/ammonium acetate is a convenient reagent for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding symmetrically substituted azo compounds.

The conversion is reasonably fast, clean, high yielding and occurs at room temperature in methanol.

Reductive amination of ketones: novel one-step transfer hydrogenations in batch and continuous-flow mode

Various ketones were efficiently transformed into the corresponding amines using ammonium formate in the presence of Zn dust or 10% Pd/C. The low-cost Zn dust method proved to be effective in amine formation from carbonyl groups at the benzylic side-chain position of aromatic systems, whereas 10% Pd/C was an efficient catalyst in the reductive aminations of carbonyl groups non-conjugated with any π-system. The 10% Pd/C-catalyzed reductions were performed more effectively in a continuous-flow X-Cube reactor than in the batch system.

Rapid Preparation of C18 Monoliths for Micro‐column Separation Using Ultraviolet and Microwave Irradiation

An organic‐based monolith with long alkyl chain ligands was prepared by UV photo‐initiation using (a) 1‐octadecene as a functional monomer, (b) ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross‐linking agent, (c) 1‐propanol, 1,4‐butanediol and dimethylformamide as triporogenic solvents, and (d) Irgacure 1800 as the initiator. The monoliths containing a high fraction of 1‐octadecene possessed a better total porosity, improved permeability, and result in faster separation. Similar monolithic capillary was quickly fabricated in 3 min by microwave irradiation using azobisisobutyronitrile as the thermal initiator. Conventional polyimide‐coated capillaries were used instead of expensive UV‐transparent capillaries in both methods.
