A simple, highly selective and sensitive colorimetric system for the detection of fluoride ion in an aqueous medium has been developed using 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,3‐dihydroquinolin‐4(1 H)‐one. This system allows selective “turn‐on” fluorescence detection of fluoride ion, which is found to be dependent upon guest basicity. An excited‐state proton transfer is proposed to be the signaling mechanism, which is rationalized by DFT and TD‐DFT calculations. The present sensor can also be applied to detect fluoride levels in real water samples. 相似文献
Co‐conversion of alkane with another reactant over zeolite catalysts has emerged as a new approach to the long‐standing challenge of alkane transformation. With the aid of solid‐state NMR spectroscopy and GC‐MS analysis, it was found that the co‐conversion of propane and methanol can be readily initiated by hydride transfer at temperatures of ≥449 K over the acidic zeolite H‐ZSM‐5. The formation of 13C‐labeled methane and singly 13C‐labeled n‐butanes in selective labeling experiments provided the first evidence for the initial hydride transfer from propane to surface methoxy intermediates. The results not only provide new insight into carbocation chemistry of solid acids, but also shed light on the low‐temperature transformation of alkanes for industrial applications. 相似文献
The synthesis of N‐arylimidazoles substituted at the sterically encumbered 5‐position is a challenge for modern synthetic approaches. A new family of imidazolyl aryliodonium salts is reported, which serve as a stepping stone on the way to selective formation of N1‐aryl‐5‐iodoimidazoles. Iodine acts as a “universal” placeholder poised for replacement by aryl substituents. These new λ3‐iodanes are produced by treating the NH‐imidazole with ArI(OAc)2, and are converted to N1‐aryl‐5‐iodoimidazoles by a selective copper‐catalyzed aryl migration. The method tolerates a variety of aryl fragments and is also applicable to substituted imidazoles. 相似文献
Thiol‐containing amino acids (aminothiols) such as cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) play a key role in various biological processes including maintaining the homeostasis of biological thiols. However, abnormal levels of aminothiols are associated with a variety of diseases. The native chemical ligation (NCL) reaction has attracted great attention in the fields of chemistry and biology. NCL of peptide segments involves cascade reactions between a peptide‐α‐thioester and an N‐terminal cysteine peptide. In this work, we employed the NCL reaction mechanism to formulate a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy for the design of ratiometric fluorescent probes that were selective toward aminothiols. On the basis of this new strategy, the ratiometric fluorescent probe 1 for aminothiols was judiciously designed. The new probe is highly selective toward aminothiols over other thiols and exhibits a very large variation (up to 160‐fold) in its fluorescence ratio (I458/I603). The new fluorescent probe is capable of ratiometric detection of aminothiols in newborn calf and human serum samples and is also suitable for ratiometric fluorescent imaging of aminothiols in living cells. 相似文献
Chemistry of Free Cyclic Vicinal Tricarbonyl Compounds (‘1,2,3‐Triones'). Part 2. Redox Reactions of 1,2,3‐Triones with Ene‐1,2‐diols (‘Reductones'), 2‐Alkoxy‐en‐1‐ols, Ene‐1,2‐diamines, and Related Species . Midstanding carbonyl groups of cyclic 1,2,3‐triones 4 possess outstanding electrophilic (electron‐pair accepting) as well as oxidizing (one‐electron accepting) properties. Their reactions with selected electron‐rich CC bonds as efficient nucleophiles (AN reactions) and as efficient reducing agents (SET (single electron transfer) reactions) are studied. In a few cases, short‐lived charge‐transfer colors could be observed. Particularly, free didehydro‐5,6‐O‐isopropyliden‐L ‐ascorbic acid ( 4g ), its O,C‐adduct 8g to 5,6‐O‐isopropylidene‐L ‐ascorbic acid ( 1g ), and – via an independent pathway – the ostensible C,C‐dimer 10a of mono‐dehydrodimedone reductone were prepared. Intermediate radical anions 4 .− can be considered to be ideal representatives of dicapto‐dative radicals. Novel large‐scale syntheses of 3,4‐dihydroxyfuran‐2(5H)‐one ( 1e ) and of its vicinal trione 4e are presented. 相似文献
The successful application of imidazole‐modified ketones in asymmetric anti‐selective Michael reactions with trans‐β‐nitroalkenes is presented by employing a newly developed 3‐bromothiophene‐modified chiral diamine ligand. The corresponding conjugate adduct was submitted to further transformations with Grignard reagents to solve the problem of α‐site selectivity of simple linear ketones. Additionally, the syn‐selective product was obtained by treating the anti‐selective adduct with a simple base. In this way, the site‐specific products for both diastereomers in the asymmetric conjugate addition of simple ketones to nitroalkenes can be obtained. 相似文献
A series of 3‐substituted 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[g]quinazolin‐4‐ones 4a – e were synthesized from the reaction of 3‐aminonaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid 1 with isothiocyanate derivatives 2a – e . The alkylation of 4a – e with alkyl halides gave 3‐substituted 2‐alkylsulfanyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[g]quinazolin‐4‐ones 5a – o . S‐Glycosylation was carried out via the reaction of 4a – e with glycopyranosyl bromides 7a and 7b under anhydrous alkaline conditions. The structure of the compounds was established as S‐nucleoside and not N‐nucleoside. Conformational analysis has been studied by homonuclear and heteronuclear two‐dimensional NMR methods (2D DFQ‐COSY, heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation). The S site of alkylation and glycosylation was determined from the 1H and 13C heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence experiments. 相似文献
A meso–meso‐linked diphenylamine‐fused porphyrin dimer and its methoxy‐substituted analogue were synthesized from a meso–meso‐linked porphyrin dimer by a reaction sequence involving Ir‐catalyzed β‐selective borylation, iodination, meso‐chlorination, and SNAr reactions with diarylamines followed by electron‐transfer‐mediated intramolecular double C?H/C?I coupling. While these dimers commonly display characteristic split Soret bands and small oxidation potentials, they produced different products upon oxidation with tris(4‐bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate. Namely, the diphenylamine‐fused porphyrin dimer was converted into a dicationic closed‐shell quinonoidal dimer, while the methoxy‐substituted dimer gave a meso–meso, β‐β doubly linked porphyrin dimer. 相似文献
The photocatalyzed ortho‐selective migration on a pyridyl ring has been achieved for the site‐selective trifluoromethylative pyridylation of unactivated alkenes. The overall process is initiated by the selective addition of a CF3 radical to the alkene to provide a nucleophilic alkyl radical intermediate, which enables an intramolecular endo addition exclusively to the ortho‐position of the pyridinium salt. Both secondary and tertiary alkyl radicals are well‐suited for addition to the C2‐position of pyridinium salts to ultimately provide synthetically valuable C2‐fluoroalkyl functionalized pyridines. Moreover, the method was successfully applied to the reaction with P‐centered radicals. The utility of this transformation was further demonstrated by the late‐stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules. 相似文献
Dopamine‐containing monomers, N‐3,4‐dihydroxybenzenethyl methacrylamide (DMA) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), are successfully copolymerized in a well‐controlled manner via ambient temperature single‐electron transfer initiation and propagation through the radical addition fragmentation chain transfer (SET‐RAFT) method. The controlled behaviors of the copolymerization are confirmed by the first‐order kinetic plots, the linear relationships between molecular weights, and the monomer conversions while keeping relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn ≤ 1.45). Moreover, biomimetic self‐assembly of poly(N‐3,4‐dihydroxybenzenethyl methacrylamide‐co‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) PDMA‐co‐PDMAEMA and inorganic particles are employed to prepare tunable honeycomb‐like porous hybrid particles (HPHPs) by regulating the predesigned chemical composition. In addition, the inorganic sacrificial templates are successfully selective etched for the formation of porous organic materials.
