Regioselective Cycloaddition of the Dimethyl Ester of Acetylenedicarboxylic Acid to 2,4,6-Triazidopyridines

2,4,6-Triazido-3,5-dichloropyridine was obtained in the reaction of pentachloropyridine with sodium azide. At room temperature, this azide reacts regioslectively with norbornene at the -azide group to give the corresponding 4-(3-azatricyclo[3.2.1.0]octanyl)-2,6-diazidopyridine in 88% yield. The cycloaddition of the dimethyl ester of acetylenedicarboxylic acid to this triazide proceeds at the azide groups at C₍₂₎ and C₍₆₎ in the pyridine ring to give 4-azido-2,6-di(4',5'-dimethoxycarbonyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazolopyridine. The analogous reaction of 2,4,6-triazido-3,5-dicyanopyridine with the dimethyl ester of acetylenedicarboxylic acid stops at the formation of 2,4-diazido-6-(4',5'-dimethoxycarbonyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazolopyridine. In contrast to reactions with electron-rich dipolarophiles, the cycloaddition of electron-deficient dipolarophiles to 2,4,6-triazidopyridines proceeds with thermodynamic control primarily a! t the azide groups bearing the highest orbital density in the HOMO.

Exploring the relation between amplification and binding in dynamic combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic synthetic receptors in water

Herein we describe an extensive study of the response of a set of closely related dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) of macrocyclic receptors to the introduction of a focused range of guest molecules. We have determined the amplification of two sets of diastereomeric receptors induced by a series of neutral and cationic guests, including biologically relevant compounds such as acetylcholine and morphine. The host–guest binding affinities were investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry. The resulting dataset enabled a detailed analysis of the relationship between the amplification of selected receptors and host–guest Gibbs binding energies, giving insight into the factors affecting the design, simulation and interpretation of DCL experiments. In particular, two questions were addressed: Is amplification by a given guest selective for the best receptor? And does the best guest induce the largest amplification of a given receptor? Our experimental results and computer simulations showed that the relative levels of amplification of hosts by a guest are well‐correlated with their relative affinities, and simulations have confirmed previous observations that amplification can be selective for the best receptor when only modest amounts of guest are used. In contrast, the correlation between guest binding and the extent of amplification of a given receptor across a wide range of guests tends to be poorer, because every guest has its own unique set of affinities for competing receptors in the DCL. This implies that the results of screening a DCL for selective receptors by comparing the response of the mixture to two different guests should be interpreted with caution. DCLs are complex mixtures in which all compounds are connected through a set of equilibria. Obtaining quantitative information about all host–guest binding constants from such systems will require the explicit and simultaneous consideration of all of the main equilibria within a DCL.     

Effect of medium acidity on the efficiency of oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene to 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid

An effect of boric acid additives on oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) to 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid (TNBA) with chromic anhydride in concentrated (96—100%) H₂SO₄ has been studied. In the presence of tetrahydrosulfatoboric acid HB(HSO₄)₄ formed in situ (up to 5 mol.%) or added as a preliminary prepared solution (up to 1 mol. %), TNT is selectively oxidized to TNBA in the yields up to 95—99%. The mechanism including formation of TNT dication as a key step of its oxidation at the methyl group has been suggested.     

Determination of myo-inositol (free and bound as phosphatidylinositol) in infant formula and adult nutritionals by liquid chromatography/pulsed amperometry with column switching: first action 2011.18

Myo-inositol is a 6-carbon cyclic polyalcohol also known as meso-inositol, meat sugar, inosite, and i-inositol. It occurs in nature in both free (myo-inositol) and bound (inositol phosphates and phosphatidylinositol) forms. For the determination of free myo-inositol, samples are mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid to extract myo-inositol and precipitate proteins, diluted with water, and filtered. For the determination of myo-inositol bound as phosphatidylinositol, samples are extracted with chloroform, isolated from other fats with silica SPE cartridges, and hydrolyzed with concentrated acid to free myo-inositol. Prepared samples are first injected onto a Dionex CarboPac PA1 column, which separates myo-inositol from other late-eluting carbohydrates. After column switching, myo-inositol is further separated on a CarboPac MA1 column using a 0.12% sodium hydroxide mobile phase; strongly retained carbohydrates are eluted from the PA1 column with a 3% sodium hydroxide mobile phase. Eluant from the CarboPac MA1 analytical column passes through an electrochemical detector cell where myo-inositol is detected by pulsed amperometry using a gold electrode. The method showed appropriate performance characteristics versus selected established standard method performance requirement parameters for the determination of myo-inositol: linear response; repeatability (RSDr) of 2%; and intermediate precision (RSDir) of 2.5%. Instrument LOD and LOQ were 0.0004 and 0.0013 mg/100 mL, respectively, and correspond to a free myo-inositol quantitation limit of 0.026 mg/100 g and a phosphatidylinositol quantitation limit of 0.016 mg/100 g. Correlation with the reference microbiological assay was good. The proposed method has been accepted by the Expert Review Panel as an AOAC First Action Method, suitable for the routine determination of myo-inositol in infant formula and adult nutritionals.

New efficient organic activators for highly enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketones by trichlorosilane

[reaction: see text] Aryl ketones were reduced to the corresponding alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.7% ee) by Cl3SiH in the presence of a catalytic amount of N-formyl-alpha'-(2,4,6-triethylphenyl)-L-proline as an activator. Both carboxyl group at the alpha-position of the activator and 2,4,6-triethylphenyl group at the alpha'-position were critical for the high enantioselectivity.     

Metal Ion-Driven Constitutional Adaptation in Dynamic Covalent C=C/C=N Organo-Metathesis

Knoevenagel barbiturate derivatives and imines are able to undergo efficient component recombination through dynamic covalent C=C/C=N organo-metathesis in absence of a catalyst. A [2×2] dynamic covalent library (DCL) containing two Knoevenagel derivatives Kn1 and Kn2 and two imines A1 and A2 has been established and its adaptive features in response to the addition of metal cations have been investigated. Addition of Cu(I) triflate as an effector, induces fast and remarkable constitutional selection of the DCL towards amplification of the Cu(I)- A2 complex and its agonist Kn1 . This adaptation process could be reversed by addition of neocuproine as a competitive Cu(I) ligand. Furthermore, separate addition of five other metal cations as input agents, i. e. Ag(I), Fe(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Li(I), led to the generation of cation-specific distribution patterns as outputs, showing the ability of the present DCL to recognize different effectors.

Aggregation behavior of amphiphilic D-p -A molecules bearing recognition group

Aggregation behavior of two amphiphilic D-π-A molecules bearing barbituric acid as both recogniton group and electron-drawing substituent , 5-(4-dodecyl oxybenzylidene)-(1H, 3H)- 2,4,6-pyrimidine trione (PB12) and 5-(4-N,N-didodecyl aminobenzylidene)-(1H,3H)-2,4,6-pyrimidine trione (AB12) was studied by UV-visible, fluorescence, and surface voltaic spectroscopies (SPS). The experimental results indicate that PB12 tends to form J-aggregate and AB12 tends to form H-aggregate under increasing concentration. An intramolecular twisted charge transfer (TICT) emission around 500 nm is observed when J-aggregate is formed between PB12 molecules, and an excimer emission around 600 nm is observed when H-aggregate is formed between AB12 molecules.

Dual reactivity in 1,2-disubstituted dihydro-N-heteroaromatic systems. 12. Aromatization of 1-substituted-2-(indol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydroquinolines with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene

As the electron-acceptor properties of the N-substituents in 1-R-2-(indol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydroquinolines decrease, their ability to undergo heterolysis of the internuclear C-C bond to give ion pairs of 1-R-quinolinium cations and indole anions decreases. Reaction of these ion pairs with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene gives salts of 1-R-quinolinium cations and the 1-(indol-3-yl)-2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadiene anion. With undissociated dihydroquinolines, aromatization under similar conditions gives salts of 1-R-2(indol-3-yl)quinolinium cations and the 1,1-dihydro-2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadiene anion.For Communication 11, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 80–84, January, 1988.     

Direct organocatalytic asymmetric aldol reactions of alpha-amino aldehydes: expedient syntheses of highly enantiomerically enriched anti-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids

[reaction: see text] A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives has been developed. Direct asymmetric aldol reactions of a glycine aldehyde (aminoacetaldehyde) derivative have been performed under organocatalysis using l-proline or (S)-5-pyrrolidine-2-yl-1H-tetrazole. The reactions afforded anti-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino aldehydes in good yield with high diastereoselectivity (dr up to >100:1) and high enantioselectivity (up to >99.5% ee), which were easily transformed into beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives.     

Synthesis,Structural, and Physicochemical Study of First- and Second-Generation Melamine-Based Dendrimers

Abstract

First-tier (G₁) 2,4,6-tridiethymalonate-triazine (2,4,6-TDEMTA) and second-tier (G₂) 2,4,6-hexadiethylmalonate-triazine (2,4,6-HDEMTA) dendrimers were prepared with melamine (1,3,5-triazine) as core (G₀) and sodium malonate ester for bifurcation of chains. The trichlorotriazine (TCT) and sodium diethyl malonate (SDEM) aqueous solutions were mixed, and a creamy white precipitate of G₁ was obtained. The G₁ was hydrolyzed in alkaline medium to prepare 2,4,6-tridisodiummalonate-triazine (2,4,6-TDSMTA) by replacing ?C₂H₅ groups of COOC₂H₅ by Na, which was further neutralized by dilute HCl to obtain 2,4,6-trimalonicacid-triazine (2,4,6-TMATA). The TMATA was treated with PCl₅(s) to form –COCl, which was treated with SDEM to form the G₂.     

Optical resolution and racemization mechanism of a tellurinic acid

[reaction: see text] Optically active tellurinic acid was obtained for the first time by chromatographic resolution of racemic 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenetellurinic acid (1) using a chiral column. Optically active tellurinic acid (+)-1 was stable toward racemization in hexane, although racemization occurred in hexane/2-propanol. The kinetic studies for the racemization, oxygen exchange reaction using H(2)(18)O, and theoretical studies clarified that the racemization of the optically active tellurinic acid in solution proceeds via a hypervalent tellurane formed by addition of water remaining in solvent.

Dansyl amino acid enantiomer separation on a teicoplanin chiral stationary phase: effect of eluent pH

A sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of loratadine and its major active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine (DCL) in plasma was developed, using high-performance liquid chromatographic separation with tandem mass spectrometric detection. The samples were extracted from plasma with toluene followed by back-extraction into formic acid (2%) for DCL after which the toluene containing the loratadine was evaporated, the analyte reconstituted and combined with the DCL back-extract. Chromatography was performed on a Phenomenex Luna C18 (2) 5-microm, 150x2.1-mm column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid using gradient elution (10 to 90% acetonitrile in 2 min) at a flow-rate of 0.3 ml/min. Detection was achieved by a Perkin-Elmer API 2000 mass spectrometer (LC-MS-MS) set at unit resolution in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. TurbolonSpray ionisation was used for ion production. The mean recovery for loratadine and descarboethoxyloratadine was 61 and 100%, respectively, with a lower limit of quantification at 0.10 ng/ml for both the analyte and its metabolite. This is the first assay method described for the simultaneous determination of loratadine and descarboethoxyloratadine in plasma using one chromatographic run. The method is sensitive and reproducible enough to be used in pharmacokinetic studies.     

Chemie von a-Aminonitrilen. Aldomerisierung von Glycolaldehyd-phosphat zu racemischen Hexose-2,4,6-triphosphaten und (in Gegenwart von Formaldehyd) racemischen Pentose-2,4-diphosphaten: rac-Allose-2,4,6-triphosphat und rac-Ribose-2,4-diphosphat sind die Reaktionshauptprodukte

Chemistry of α-Aminonitriles. Aldomerisation of Glycolaldehyde Phosphate to rac-Hexose 2,4,6-Triphosphates and (in Presence of Formaldehyde) rac-Pentose 2,4-Diphosphates: rac-Allose 2,4,6-Triphosphate and rac-Ribose 2,4-Diphosphate Are the Main Reaction Products Glyclaldehyde phosphate aldomerizes in aqueous NaOH solution to a product mixture containing the racemates of the two diastereoisomeric tetrose 2,4-diphosphates and eight hexose 2,4,6-triphosphates. At room temperature in the absence of air and after 7 days, a solution 0.08M in glycolaldehyde phosphate (=formylmethyl dihydrogenphosphate)and 2M in NaOH gives products, in up to 80% yield, with a tetrose/hexose derivative ratio of ca 1:10 and with rac-allose, 2,4,6-triphosphate comprising up to 50% of the mixture of sugar phosphates. When the reaction is run under the same conditions but in the presence of 0.5 mol-equiv. of formaldehyde, sugar phosphates are formed in up to 45% yield, with pentose 2,4-diphosphates now predominating over hexose triphosphates by a ration f 3:1 rac-Ribose 2,4-diphosphate is found to be the major component, the ratios am ribose, arabinose, lyxose, and xylose 2,4-diphosphates being 52:14:23:11 in a representative experiment. The pentose diphosphates are constitutionally stable under the reaction conditions (observed for 23 weeks), but the diastereoisomeric ratios slowly change with time (tc 22:34:30:14 after 23 weeks), showing that ribose 2,4-diphosphate is not the thermodynamically favored diastereoisomer. The observed product distributions in both the pentose and the hexose series (after 1 week) reveal an aldolization mode that is preferentially erythro in the product-determining step (the reaction of glycolaldehyde phosphate as its enolate with glycerinaldehyde 2-phosphate and tetrose 2,4-diphosphate, respectively). An attempt is made to rationalize both this fact and the kinetic predominance of ribose 2,4-diphosphate in the pentose series and allose 2,4,6-triphosphate in the hexose series. Their configuration along the C-chain can be interpreted as corresponding to a minimum number of 1-5 repulsions in the packing of phosphate and OH substituents and minimal steric interaction between substituents at the reaction centers in the transition state of the product-determining step. The aldomerization of glycolaldehyde phosphate in the presence of formaldehyde is a variant of the formose reaction, It avoids the formation of complex formose product mixtures, largely as a consequence of the fact that aldoses which are phosphorylated at the C(2)     

Quantum chemical predictions of IR spectra and thermodynamic properties of tetrazole derivates

We have predicted the optimized geometries, infrared spectrum, and thermodynamic properties for six tetrazole derivates at density functional theory and second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) level with the 6-31G** basis set. Their heats of formation were calculated accurately using the designed isodesmic and isogyric reactions. The computed total energies, heat of formation, and enthalpy of combustion consistently indicate the stability: 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-2H-tetrazole > 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole > 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-5H-tetrazole The similar result for the isomers of 5-(2,4,6-trinitrobenzyl)-tetrazole: 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-2H-tetrazole > 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole > 5-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-5H-tetrazole.
