1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Nitrones with 5-Methylenehydantoins: Synthesis and Transformation of New Spirohydantoin Derivatives

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of various acyclic nitrones with 5-methylenehydantoin derivatives afforded new chiral spiroadducts in good yields. All the spirohydantoins were obtained through a regio- and stereospecific pathway, and the spirocarbon atom was linked to the isoxazolidine oxygen atom. A representative example of the reduction of the spirohydantoin 8 with Zn/AcOH led to the substituted 1,3-aminoalcohol hydantoin 20.     

Straightforward and Highly Diastereoselective Synthesis of a New Set of Functionalized Dispiropyrrolidines Involving Multicomponent 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition with Azomethine Ylides

The diastereoselective synthesis of novel series of dispiropyrrolidines has been achieved by a one‐pot three‐component [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of (E)‐2‐arylideneindanones, glycine ethyl ester, and the cyclic diketones 1H‐indole‐2,3‐dione (isatin) or acenaphthenequinone. Moreover, we disclose an unprecedented epimerization of spiroadducts leading to a new family of dispiropyrrolidines with an unusual relative stereochemistry.

The molecular structure of the spiroadducts is discussed.     

Head-to-head vinyl polymers. IV. Preparation and characterization of equimolar head-to-head copolymers of acrylic acid and its esters

The alternating copolymer of ethylene with maleic anhydride was esterified with a number of aliphatic alcohols to yield its monoesters, which correspond structurally to equimolar (1:1) head-to-head (h-h) copolymers of acrylic acid with alkyl acrylates. In addition, they were methylated with diazomethane to 1:1 h-h copolymers of methyl acrylate with alkyl acrylates. For comparison the 1:1 head-to-tail (h-t) copolymers of methyl acrylate with alkyl acrylates were prepared by radical copolymerizations. Some chemical, physical, and thermal properties of these 1:1 h-h and h-t copolymers were evaluated and compared. The softening and glass transition temperatures of the 1:1 h-h copolymers were somewhat higher than those of the corresponding 1:1 h-t copolymers, which indicated that the h-h replacements made the polymer chain stiffer and less flexible. The 1:1 h-h copolymers were also observed to degrade thermally at somewhat higher temperatures and with higher rates than the 1:1 h-t copolymers. The ratio of alcohol to monomer found in the pyrolysis products was higher for the 1:1 h-h than for its respective 1:1 h-t copolymer.

Product analyses of ozone mediated nitration of benzimidazole derivatives with nitrogen dioxide: formation of 1-nitrobenzimidazoles and conversion to benzotriazoles

Several benzimidazole derivatives having electron-withdrawing or -donating substituent(s) at the benzene moiety were used as models of the imidazole moiety of purine bases and their nitration with nitrogen dioxide and ozone (so-called Kyodai nitration) were examined. Products were extracted from the reaction mixture with AcOEt and their structures were analyzed. 1-Nitrobenzimidazole derivatives and unexpected 1-nitrobenzotriazole derivatives were identified. Although the yields of 1-nitrobenzimidazole derivatives were quite low, these were all new compounds that could be obtained only by Kyodai nitration. It was speculated that benzotriazoles were formed via 1-nitrobenzimidazoles and subsequent nitration toward benzotriazoles resulted in the formation of 1-nitrobenzotriazoles.     

Sub-Doppler rotationally resolved spectroscopy of lower vibronic bands of benzene with Zeeman effects

Sub-Doppler high-resolution excitation spectra and the Zeeman effects of the 6(0)(1), 1(0)(1)6(0)(1), and 1(0)(2)6(0)(1) bands of the S1(1)B2u<--S(0)(1)A1g transition of benzene were measured by crossing laser beam perpendicular to a collimated molecular beam. 1593 rotational lines of the 1(0) (1)6(0) (1) band and 928 lines of the 1(0)(2)6(0)(1) band were assigned, and the molecular constants of the excited states were determined. Energy shifts were observed for the S1(1)B2u(v1=1,v6=1,J,Kl=-11) levels, and those were identified as originating from a perpendicular Coriolis interaction. Many energy shifts were observed for the S1(1)B2u(v1=2,v6=1,J,Kl) levels. The Zeeman splitting of a given J level was observed to increase with K and reach the maximum at K=J, which demonstrates that the magnetic moment lies perpendicular to the molecular plane. The Zeeman splittings of the K=J levels were observed to increase linearly with J. From the analysis, the magnetic moment is shown to be originating mostly from mixing of the S1(1)B2u and S2(1)B1u states by the J-L coupling (electronic Coriolis interaction). The number of perturbations was observed to increase as the excess energy increases, and all the perturbing levels were found to be a singlet state from the Zeeman spectra.

Use of multitoxin immunoaffinity columns for determination of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in ginseng and ginger

Conditions were optimized for the simultaneous, alkaline, aqueous methanol extraction of aflatoxins (AFL), i.e., B1 (AFB1), B2 (AFB2), G1 (AFG1), and G2 (AFG2), and ochratoxin A (OTA) with subsequent purification, isolation, and determination of the toxins in ginseng and ginger. Powdered roots were extracted with methanol-0.5% NaHCO3 solution (7 + 3). After shaking and centrifugation, the supernatant was diluted with 100 mM phosphate buffer containing 1% Tween 20 and filtered through glass microfiber filter paper. The filtrate was then passed through an immunoaffinity column, and the toxins were eluted with methanol. The AFL were separated and determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with fluorescence detection after postcolumn UV photochemical derivatization. OTA was separated and determined by RPLC with fluorescence detection. Recoveries of AFL added at 2-16 ng/g and OTA added at 1-8 ng/g to ginseng were 72-80 and 86-95%, respectively. Recoveries of AFL and OTA added to ginger were similar to those for ginseng. A total of 39 commercially available ginger products from 6 manufacturers were analyzed. Twenty-six samples were found to be contaminated with AFL at 1-31 ng/g and 29 samples, with OTA at 1-10 ng/g. Ten samples contained no AFL or OTA. Ten ginseng finished products were also analyzed; 3 contained AFL at 0.1 ng/g and 4 contained OTA at levels ranging from 0.4 to 1.8 ng/g. LC/tandem mass spectrometry with multiple-reaction monitoring of 3 collisionally induced product ions from the protonated molecular ions of OTA, AFB1, and AFG1 was used to confirm the identities of the toxins in extracts of the finished products.     

A quantum chemical study on structure of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)ethane and phenol cocrystal

The cocrystal of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)ethane (DPPEO) with phenol (1:1) were studied theoretically with AM1, PM3, MNDO and MINDO/3 semi-empirical methods to elucidate its structure.

Determination of the cardiolipin content of individual mitochondria by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

We report the application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with postcolumn laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection to measure the cardiolipin content of individual mitochondria from cultured NS1 cells. Mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation and stained with the fluorescent dye 10-N-nonyl acridine orange which stoichiometrically binds to cardiolipin in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio depending on the dye concentration. The green fluorescence resulting from the 1:1 complex was chosen for analysis because it is substantially more intense than the red fluorescence resulting from the 2:1 complex. Two dye concentrations that resulted in maximal and submaximal formation of the 1:1 10-N-nonyl acridine orange-cardiolipin complex were identified by spectrofluorometry. Individual mitochondria stained with both dye concentrations were separated and detected by CE with LIF detection. The data from mitochondria dosed with the lower dye concentration, where it is assumed that all the dye added to the mitochondrial sample was bound to cardiolipin, were used to derive a sensitivity factor relating fluorescence intensity of a mitochondrial event to its cardiolipin content. Using this factor, the cardiolipin contents of individual mitochondria stained with the higher dye concentration were determined, and ranged from 1.2 to 920 amol, with a median value of 4 amol. These results suggest a new strategy for estimating the organellar content of compounds that can be fluorescently tagged.     

Matrix Isolation FTIR and Theoretical Study of Weakly Bound Complexes of Isocyanic Acid with Nitrogen

Weak complexes of isocyanic acid (HNCO) with nitrogen were studied computationally employing MP2, B2PLYPD3 and B3LYPD3 methods and experimentally by FTIR matrix isolation technique. The results show that HNCO interacts specifically with N₂. For the 1:1 stoichiometry, three stable minima were located on the potential energy surface. The most stable of them involves a weak, almost linear hydrogen bond from the NH group of the acid molecule to nitrogen molecule lone pair. Two other structures are bound by van der Waals interactions of N⋯N and C⋯N types. The 1:2 and 2:1 HNCO complexes with nitrogen were computationally tracked as well. Similar types of interactions as in the 1:1 complexes were found in the case of the higher stoichiometry complexes. Analysis of the HNCO/N₂/Ar spectra after deposition indicates that the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complex is prevalent in argon matrices with a small amount of the van der Waals structures also present. Upon annealing, complexes of the 1:2 and 2:1 stoichiometry were detected as well.

Preparation of chiral alpha-oxy-[2H1]methyllithiums of 99% ee and determination of their configurational stability

(Tributylstannyl)methyl 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-carboxylate was metalated with t-BuLi/TMEDA at -78 degrees C and borylated with the mixed borate derived from (R,R)-1,2-dicyclohexylethane-1,2-diol and t-butanol to give diastereomeric boronates 31/32 in equal amounts. Boronates 31 and 32 were reduced with LiBEt3D and then oxidized with basic H2O2 to give (S)- and (R)-tributylstannyl-[1-2H1]methanol of 99% ee, respectively. Treatment of their respective phosphates with n-BuLi at -78 and 0 degrees C gave microscopically configurationally stable phosphinyloxy-substituted [2H1]methyllithiums, which rearranged to hydroxy-[1-2H1]methylphosphonates of ee > 98% (phosphate-phosphonate rearrangement). The N,N-diisopropylcarbamates of the enantiomeric tributylstannyl-[1-2H1]methanols were transmetalated to give carbamoyloxy-substituted chiral [2H1]methyllithiums, which were macroscopically configurationally stable for prolonged periods of time (up to 3 h, ee still 99%) at -78 degrees C, deduced from trapping experiments with benzaldehyde. The chemical stability of these methyllithiums ended at -50 degrees C. The stereochemistry of the monoprotected and monodeuterated 1-phenylethane-1,2-diols obtained was secured by spectroscopic comparison of their Mosher esters with that of all four stereoisomeric 1-phenyl-[1-2H1]ethane-1,2-diols synthesized independently. Furthermore, the configurations of the boronates and the chiral methyllithiums derived from them were deduced from a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of a carbamate in which the tributylstannyl group had been replaced by the [(1R)-menthyl]dimethylstannyl group.

Effect of addition of dendritic C60 amphiphiles on the structure of cationic surfactant solutions

The aggregation behavior of two water-soluble carboxylic C60 derivatives, dendritic methano[60] fullerene octadeca acid (1) and ennea acid (2), in aqueous solutions was investigated. Both 1 and 2 were highly soluble in pure water and buffer solutions with pH >or=7.0. Their spectral properties, especially those in the visible region, were found to be influenced greatly by solution parameters and additives. In pure water, dynamic laser light scattering (DLS) measurements revealed that both 1 and 2 could form aggregates. When 1 or 2 was added to micelle solution of a cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (TTAOH), unilamellar vesicles with diameters of several hundreds of nanometers were detected by freeze-fracture transmission electron microscope and DLS both below and above the critical micellar concentration of TTAOH. Vesicle formation was greatly suppressed when 1 or 2 was added to tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide micelle solution and no vesicles were detected for 1 or 2 mixed with the aqueous solutions of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide or tetramethylammonium hydroxide, indicating that counterions and the hydrophobic chain length of the cationic surfactants played important roles in vesicle formation. At the same time, for mixtures of 1 and 2 with anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate, no vesicles were detected. In highly concentrated NaCl solutions, it was found that 1 and 2 could also form vesicles, which could be due to the shielding of the electrostatic interactions among hydrophilic parts of 1 and 2.
