Oligonucleotides with 2'-O-carboxymethyl group: synthesis and 2'-conjugation via amide bond formation on solid phase

An efficient method for synthesis of oligonucleotide 2'-conjugates via amide bond formation on solid phase is described. Protected oligonucleotides containing a 2'-O-carboxymethyl group were obtained by use of a novel uridine 3'phosphoramidite, where the carboxylic acid moiety was introduced as its allyl ester. This protecting group is stable to the conditions used in solid-phase oligonucleotide assembly, but easily removed by Pd(0) and morpholine treatment. 2'-O-Carboxymethylated oligonucleotides were then efficiently conjugated on a solid support under normal peptide coupling conditions to various amines or to the N-termini of small peptides to give products of high purity in good yield. The method is well suited in principle for the preparation of peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates containing an amide linkage between the 2'-position of an oligonucleotide and the N-terminus of a peptide.

Magnetic nanoparticles as an orthogonal support of polymer resins: applications to solid-phase suzuki cross-coupling reactions

[reaction: see text] Most of the reactants immobilized on conventional solid-phase resins are buried inside the interiors of lightly cross-linked polystyrene beads. An orthogonal support of solid-phase resins needs to be small enough to penetrate the interpolymeric chain spaces of a swollen resin to reach reaction sites. In this paper, we report the use of magnetic nanoparticles ( approximately 4 nm) as an orthogonal matrix to assist solid-phase reactions. A magnetic nanoparticle-supported homogeneous Pd catalyst was employed for promoting the Suzuki cross-coupling of an aryl halide on resins and an excessive arylboronic acid in solution. The workup separating three components (the catalyst, product, and remaining arylborate) is a chromatography-free process. The Pd catalyst was magnetically isolated and recycled from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field. Then, a filtration process was followed to recover the excess borate reagent from the resins/product. Our work here presents the first example of an orthogonal matrix of solid-phase resins and shows the promise of employing nanomaterials in organic synthesis.     

Controlled synthesis of magnetic Pd/Fe3O4 spheres via an ethylenediamine-assisted route

A simple route based on time-dependent growth was employed to synthesize solid and hollow spheres of Pd/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) imaging shows that the spheres are composed of nanocrystals with the solid spheres having a diameter of 533 nm whereas the hollow ones having a diameter of 520 nm and a shell thickness of 100 nm. An assembly-then-growth mechanism for the formation of the magnetic Pd/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite has also been elucidated on the basis of the experimental observations. It is demonstrated that the Pd/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite functions as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation reaction of p-nitrophenol at room temperature under atmospheric pressure. Both the solid and hollow spheres possess unique magnetic properties so that they may be conveniently separated and recovered by a magnet after the catalytic reaction.     

Investigation for the cyclization efficiency of linear tetrapeptides: Synthesis of tentoxin B and dihydrotentoxin

Investigation of the cyclization efficiency of N-methyl linear tetrapeptides using a molecular modeling study and chemical synthesis is described. The linear peptide with two N-methyl groups, MeAla-Leu-MePhe-Gly, forms γ-turn like conformation with the amine at N-terminus and the carbonyl at C-terminus in closer proximity to give the desired cyclic tetrapeptide, dihydrotentoxin. In addition, synthesis of tentoxin B by the combination of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclization in solution phase has been reported. An unusual amino acid, an L-N-methyl-β-hydroxyphenylalanine derivative, which was assembled on solid support, was prepared from ethyl cinnamate. Cyclic tetrapeptide formation and cleavage of benzyl ether were optimized with DIPCI/HOBt/DIPEA and Et₃SiH/Pd(OH)₂, respectively.

The experimental conditions (pH, sample and eluent flow rates, type and quantity of eluent) were optimized. The recovery values were ~ 99.7 and ~ 93.4% for dipy-MCM-48 and dipy-SBA-15, respectively, the limits of detection were <0.08 and <0.11 ng L^?1, the pre-concentration factors were 725 and 550, and the adsorption capacity was >78 mg g^?1. The procedure was applied to the preconcentration of Pd(II) in real samples.

Genesis of coordinatively unsaturated palladium complexes dissolved from solid precursors during Heck coupling reactions and their role as catalytically active species

The Forum Article critically summarizes investigations and discussions on the nature and role of potential active species in C-C coupling reactions of the Heck type using catalyst systems with "ligand-free" inorganic salts, simple inorganic complexes, and supported and nonsupported (colloidal) Pd particles. From a series of experiments and reports, it can be concluded that the "active species" is generated in situ in catalytic systems at higher temperature conditions (>100 degrees C). In all heterogeneous systems with solid Pd catalysts, Pd is dissolved from the solid catalyst surface under reaction conditions by a chemical reaction (complex formation and/or oxidative addition of the aryl halide), forming extremely active coordinatively unsaturated Pd species. Pd is partially or completely redeposited onto the support at the end of the reaction when the aryl halide is used up. The Pd dissolution-redeposition processes correlate with the reaction rate and are strongly influenced by the reaction conditions. Skilled preparation of the catalyst and careful adjustment of the reaction conditions allowed the development of highly active heterogeneous catalysts (Pd/C, Pd/metal oxide, and Pd/zeolite), converting aryl bromides and aryl chlorides in high yields and short reaction times. Reaction conditions have been developed allowing the conversion of bromobenzene with turnover numbers (TONs) of 10(7) and even of unreactive aryl chlorides (chlorobenzene and chlorotoluene) in high yields with simple "ligand-free" Pd catalyst systems like PdCl2 or Pd(OH)2 in the absence of any organic ligand. Simple coordinatively unsaturated anionic palladium halide (in particular, bromo) complexes [PdXn](m-) play a crucial role as precursor and active species in all ligand-free and heterogeneous catalyst systems and possibly in Heck reactions at all.     

Direct detection of a phase change in PdO/CeO2 supported on chi-Al2O3 by means of in situ high-temperature measurements of XRD and FTIR.

Phase changes between PdO and Pd metal can be directly detected in PdO/CeO2 catalysts supported on chi-Al2O3 by means of in situ high-temperature measurements of X-ray diffraction and FT-IR in relation to the catalytic activity for the methane oxidation of microcrystalline PdO. Reversible changes in the solid phases are observed from PdO to Pd and Pd to PdO under O2-deficient and O2-excess atmospheres, respectively. Nanosizes of PdO and Pd crystallites, the distorted PdO crystal structure along the (110) plane, and also a distorted Pd metal crystal structure along the (200) plane as well as the large surface area elucidate the high catalytic activity for the methane oxidation of PdO/CeO2 catalysts prepared with an atomic ratio of Pd:Ce = 1:1.     

Synthesis of ruthenium(iii) and rhodium(iii) tris-acetylacetonates and palladium(ii) bis-ketoiminate using microwave heating

Preparation of ruthenium(iii) and rhodium(iii) tris-acetylacetonates and palladium(ii) bisketoiminate (Pd(i-acac)₂) under microwave irradiation using different synthetic conditions, both in the solid-phase and in solution, was studied with precise control of parameters. In the solid-phase systems, the preparation of the target product was hindered. The efficiency of the microwave heating increased when liquid phases of the reagent mixtures were used. For Pd(i-acac)₂, the highest yield was achieved under elevated temperature of the process, with the reaction time decreasing to several minutes. A laboratory procedure for the microwave synthesis of ruthenium(iii) and rhodium(iii) tris-acetylacetonates and palladium(ii) bis-ketoiminate in aqueous solutions was developed, which allowed us to obtain them in 85, 55, and 80% yields, respectively. These yields are higher than those reported in the literature, with the process becoming considerably less time consuming and laborious.     

Selective solid-phase extraction and separation of trace gold, palladium and platinum using activated carbon modified with ethyl-3-(2-aminoethylamino)-2-chlorobut-2-enoate

Activated carbon was chemically modified with ethyl-3-(2-aminoethylamino)-2-chlorobut-2-enoate to obtain a material for selective solid-phase extraction of trace Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) prior to their determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Experimental conditions such as effects of pH, shaking time, sample flow rate and volume, elution and interfering ions were studied. The ions Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) can be quantitatively adsorbed on the new sorbent from solution of pH 1. The adsorbed ions were then eluted with 0.1 mol L^?1 hydrochloric acid and containing 4% thiourea. Many common ions do not interfere. The adsorption capacity of the material is 305, 92, and 126 mg g^?1 for Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV), respectively, and the detection limits are 5, 11 and 9 ng mL^?1. The relative standard deviation is less than 3.0% (n?=?8) under optimum conditions. The method was validated by analyzing two certified reference materials and successfully applied to the preconcentration and determination of these ions in actual samples with satisfactory results.

Sorption preconcentration and separation of Palladium(II) and Platinum(IV) for visual test and densitometric determination

We have demonstrated the advantages of the dynamic preconcentration and separation of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) on paper carriers modified with 3-methyl-2,6-dimercapto-1,4-thiopyrone. The optimal conditions of the solid-phase reaction have been determined in Pd(II) sorption; after its separation Pt(IV), has been preconcentrated by sorption as its dimercaptides. Test scales have been produced for the visual determination of 0.5–40 μg Pd(II) and 1–195 μg Pt(IV) in 10- and 100 mL-samples, respectively. In addition, a procedure of their sorption-chromaticity densitometry determination from a single aliquot portion has been developed with detection limits of 5 and 1 ng/mL, respectively, and a procedure of Pd(II) determination using a test strip (c _min = 0.40 mg/L) has been proposed. The procedures have been applied to the determination of palladium and platinum in electrolytes, sludges, and alloys.

"Polysiloxane-Pd" nanocomposites as recyclable chemoselective hydrogenation catalysts

Polysiloxane-encapsulated "Pd"-nanoclusters were generated by reduction of Pd(OAc)(2) with polymethylhydrosiloxane, which functions as a reducing agent as well as a capping material for production and stabilization of catalytically active "Pd"-nanoparticles. Chemoselective hydrogenation of functional conjugated alkenes was achieved by in-situ- or ex-situ-generated polysiloxane-stabilized "Pd"-nanoclusters under mild reaction conditions in high yields. Electron microscopy, UV-vis, and NMR studies of the reaction mixture during the catalytic transformation were performed and, in conjunction with catalyst poisoning experiments, demonstrated unequivocally the role of polysiloxane-encapsulated "Pd"-nanoclusters as the real catalytic species. The recyclability of the "Pd"-nanoclusters was established by reusing the solid left after the reaction.     

Adsorption behavior of noble metal ions (Au, Ag, Pd) on nanometer-size titanium dioxide with ICP-AES.

The adsorption behavior of gold (Au), silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd) on nanometer-size titanium dioxide (NSTD) at low concentrations was studied using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). A preconcentration procedure of the analytes was carried out using NSTD as a solid-phase extractant before their determination by ICP-AES. The optimum conditions for adsorption were studied in detail, and under the condition that Au, Ag and Pd ions could be adsorbed and recovered quantitatively. The static adsorption capacities of Au, Ag and Pd on NSTD were 22.63, 14.06 and 11.82 mg/g, respectively. For the elution of gold, silver and palladium, a mixture of 5% thiourea solution and 3 mol L(-1) HNO3 was used. The parameters tested included: pH conditions, contact time of the analytes with NSTD, flow rate, adsorption capacity and sorption kinetics. According to the definition of IUPAC, the detection limits (3sigma) of this method for Au, Ag and Pd with an enrichment factor of 50 were (0.016), (0.006) and (0.012) microg mL(-1), respectively, the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 8.7%, 4.5% and 7.4%, respectively (n = 6). Some geological samples were determined with satisfactory results.     

CO and C3H8 Total Oxidation over Pd Catalysts Supported on Commercial Ce-Zr Solid Solution: Effects of the Calcination Temperature and Hydrothermal Treatment

A series of Pd catalysts supported on commercial Ce-Zr solid solution(Pd/CZ) calcined at different temperatures(750, 900 and 1050 ℃) was prepared via an incipient wetness impregnation method. The activities of the fresh and hydrothermally aged Pd/CZ catalysts were tested for total oxidation of CO and C₃H₈. For CO oxidation, the activity of either fresh or aged Pd/CZ catalysts decreased with the elevating of calcination temperature of CZ support, with a fresh catalyst calcined at 750 ℃ possessing the highest activity and hydrothermal stability. For C₃H₈ total oxidation, the activity of Pd/CZ catalysts could be improved by increasing the calcination temperature of support. However, the aged Pd/CZ catalysts showed higher activity than corresponding fresh Pd/CZ catalysts. The turnover frequency(TOF) over Pd/CZ catalyst for CO oxidation increased with increasing reduction ability of the catalysts, with a fresh catalyst calcined at 750 ℃ having the highest value(0.27 s^-1). However, the TOF of Pd/CZ catalyst for C₃H₈ total oxidation was mainly affected by the size of Pd particles, and large Pd particles possessed a higher activity, with the highest TOF value(0.96 s^-1) obtained over an aged catalyst calcined at 1050 ℃.

Synthesis and structure of colloids and films from Pd–Ag in organic solvents

Pd/Ag bimetallic particles are dispersed in acetone, 2-propanol and 2-methoxyethanol. The colloids are prepared by codeposition of the vapors of metals and solvents at 77 K. The stabilities of the Pd/Ag colloids are in the order acetone>2-methoxyethanol~2-propanol. The particles are studied by transmission electron microscopy to determine their size and also by electron diffraction to study their crystal structure. The Pd/Ag samples exhibit more than one metallic phase in the different solvents, these being Pd, Ag and Pd/Ag. The crystallinity is controlled by the Pd/Ag ratio; the crystalline phases in the bimetallic particles can be observed using the dark field technique. The differential scanning calorimetry of Pd/Ag-2-methoxyethanol solids shows three exothermic peaks in which phase transformation, microcrystal growth and solvent decomposition of the solvent in the solid are observed. However, the differential scanning calorimetry of Pd/Ag-acetone solids shows two exothermic peaks.
