PHOTOCHEMICAL COUPLING OF 5-BROMOURACIL TO TRYPTOPHAN, TYROSINE AND HISTIDINE, PEPTIDE-LIKE DERIVATIVES IN AQUEOUS FLUID SOLUTION

Direct irradiation of 5-bromouracil (BU) in aqueous fluid solution in the presence of tryptophan (trp), tyrosine (tyr) or histidine (his) derivatives using a XeCl excimer laser at 308 nm yielded photocoupling of BU to the aromatic ring of each amino acid. Irradiation of BU at 308 nm most likely results in excitation of the n-φ* transition, intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold, and coupling via electron transfer from the aromatic amino acid. The coupling observed was regiospecific between the 5-position of uracil (U) and the 2-position of the indole and phenol rings and the 5-position of the imidazole ring of the respective amino acids. Quantum yields of photocoupling to BU ranged from 1 × 10^-3 to 7 × 10^-3 and paralleled known rates of electron transfer and ionization potentials of the aromatic rings. The photocoupling between BU and some of the aromatic amino acid peptide-like derivatives possibly mimics photocrosslinking of BU-DNA to associated proteins, a potentially useful photoreaction for studying nucleic acid-protein interactions. Formation of crosslinks of the type proposed here might be detected by the characteristic fluorescence emission of the uracil amino acid adducts.     

SPECIFIC PHOTOCOUPLING OF 5-BROMOURIDINE TO TRYPTOPHAN IN AQUEOUS FROZEN SOLUTION§

Abstract —5-Bromouridine (BrUd) photochemically reacted with l -tryptophan (trp) only in aqueous frozen solution giving rise to 2-[1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-(β-d -ribofuranosyl)-2,4-dioxo-5-pyrimidinyl]-l -tryptophan ( 1a ). Under similar conditions irradiation of 5-bromouracil (BrU) and trp gave the corresponding coupled product 2. Addition of acetone, potassium carbonate or sodium chloride to the frozen system completely inhibited the photocoupling reaction. These photocoupling reactions are suggested to proceed via mixed aggregate formation between trp and BrUd (or BrU) in frozen aqueous solution. Stacking interactions in these aggregates are characterized by an efficient quenching of trp fluorescence by BrUd. Under the same conditions other amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, histidine and lysine did not react with BrUd, indicating that the photocoupling of BrUd (or BrU) is specific for trp.     

Photocoupling Reactions of Haloaromatic Hydrocarbons With Aromatic Compounds——Synthesis and Mechanism

An effective method of synthesizing polyaromatic hydrocarbons with high selectivity was developed through our research work on the photocoupling reactions between several haloaromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds. The structures of polyaromatic hydrocarbons synthesized were determined by IR, UV, ~1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis, and the crystal structure of 3-(1-naphthyl)-coumarin was established by an crystallographic analysis. Further study of the regioselectivity, orientational effect of substituents, solvent effect, sensitizing and quenching effect supported the proposed mechanism of this type of reaction involving election transfer process under excited triplet state.     

Unambiguous structure elucidation of the reaction products of 3-acyl-4-methoxy-1-methylquinolinones with hydroxylamine via NMR spectroscopy

Reaction of 3-acyl-4-methoxy-1-methylquinolinones 2a,b with hydroxylamine has been investigated under different experimental conditions. Whereas compound 2a gives rise selectively and exclusively to the regioisomeric isoxazolo[4,5-c]- or isoxazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-4(5H)one (compound 3a or 4a, respectively), reaction of 2b always led to a mixture of the required isoxazole together with the oxazole derivative. Structural elucidation of all products has been independently achieved by multinuclear (¹³C and ¹⁵N) magnetic resonance spectroscopy.     

Polymer-based photocoupling agent for the efficient immobilization of nanomaterials and small molecules

A highly efficient photocoupling agent, based on perfluorophenylazide (PFPA)-conjugated polyallylamine (PAAm), was developed for the efficient immobilization of polymers, nanoparticles, graphene, and small molecules. The conjugate, PAAm-PFPA, was synthesized, and the percentage of the photoactive moiety, PFPA, can be controlled by the ratio of the two components in the synthesis. By treating epoxy-functionalized wafers with PAAm-PFPA, photoactive surfaces were generated. Compared with the PFPA surface, these polymer-based photocoupling matrix resulted in significantly enhanced immobilization efficiencies, especially for nanomaterials and small molecules. Thus, polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NPs) and alkyl-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SNPs) were successfully immobilized on the PAAm-PFPA surface, resulting in a high material density. Graphene flakes patterned on the PAAm-PFPA surface showed improved feature resolution in addition to a higher material density compared to that of flakes immobilized on the PFPA surface. Furthermore, 2-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-D-mannopyranose (Man2) immobilized on the PAAm-PFPA surface exhibited significantly enhanced signals when treated with lectin concanavalin A (Con A).     

Photochemistry of 6-halo- and 5,6-dihalouracils. A simple synthesis of fluorescent uracil derivatives

Regioselective synthesis of 2,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-4-ones by the cyclization of 3-acyl-4-methoxy-1-methylquinolinones with hydrazines

Reaction of 3-acyl-4-methoxy-1-methylquinolinones 2 and 5 with hydrazines has been investigated under different experimental conditions. Compound 2 always gave rise selectively and exclusively to the regioisomeric 1,3-disubstituted- or 2,3-disubstituted-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-4(5H)one (compounds 3a,b or 4a,b, respectively), while reaction of 5 with N-methylhydrazine led to a mixture of pyrazoles 7a and 8a. With N-phenylhydrazine, compounds 7b or 8b were regioselectively obtained. Compound 8a could be selectively synthesized working in solventless conditions. Structural elucidation of all products was independently achieved by NMR spectroscopy.

On‐chip protein isoelectric focusing using a photoimmobilized pH gradient†

An immobilized pH gradient was directly constructed on the inner wall of a microfluidic chip channel by photoimmobilizing focused carrier ampholytes onto the wall. A mixture of carbonic anhydrase, myoglobin, and trypsin inhibitor was successfully isoelectric‐focused and separated with good linearity between the pI values of proteins and the location of the focused bands. Furthermore, coating methods for the resistance of protein nonselective adsorption and simultaneously for pH gradient photocoupling were screened. The PEG‐silane coating method was found to be better than the cross‐linked polyacrylamide coating and aminosilane modification methods. Finally, based on the open tubular column mode of carrier ampholytes’ immobilization and effective antiadsorption coating, the immobilized pH gradient was reused and the chip was recycled for the first time. By virtue of its remarkable features including simplicity, convenience, high efficiency of protein enrichment and separation, and potential for coupling site‐selective IEF with other analytical or separation techniques, this novel method promises to be useful in several applications related with zwitterionic biomolecules.     

Photochemical Labeling: Can Photoaffinity Labeling be Differentiated from Site-Directed Photochemical Coupling?

Site-directed photochemical labeling is a methodology designed to irreversibly and specifically label, through the action of light, a ligand binding site of a biological mac-romolecule. Photoaffinity labeling, a widely used site-directed labeling methodology, uses photosensitive ligand analogs generally obtained after chemical modification of the ligand by introducing an appropriate photoactivata-ble moiety. This methodology can be applied to natural ligands showing inherent photosensitivity, without any additional modification, and which can be linked efficiently to their receptor binding site by direct photoac-tivation. The emergence of an alternative methodology that links nonphotosensitive ligands to their receptors has raised the question of their potential use and their mechanisms of photocoupling. This article presents a series of examples that are meant to compare the general characteristics of the different site-directed labeling reactions and proposes distinct photochemical activation processes between photoaffinity labeling and site-directed photochemical coupling reactions. We suggest in particular that the former is necessarily a ligand-mediated activation process while the latter might involve a receptor-mediated mechanism.

Preparation of 1-Trifluoroethyl-4-methoxy-5-chloropyridazin-6-one: Methyl Shift of 4-Methoxy-5-chloropyridazin-6-one

N1-Trifluoroethyl-4-methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (4) was synthesized by the substitution reaction of 4methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (1) with trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (A) at basic condition. In the most of reaction conditions, N1-methyl-4-methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (2) was obtained as a major by-product, which means that the methyl group in the 4-methoxy shifted to N-1 position inter-molecularly aided by A or trifluoroethyl methanesulfonate (B). We obtained N1-methyl-4-trifluoro-ethoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (3) in the reaction of 1 with B at higher temperature in different solvents with different yield (Table 1 ), which mechanism was shown in Figure 1. When we tried to synthesize 4 in the reaction of 1 with trifluoroethyl toluenesulfonate under basic condition, 6 was obtained (Figure 2). All the detailed mechanisms are undergoing investigated.     

Raney nickel reductions—VIII A synthesis of 1:2-benzanthracene and its 3′-methyl and 4-methyl derivatives

1:2-Benzanthracene and the 3′-methyl derivative have been prepared by Raney nickel reduction of the sulphuric esters of the leuco derivatives of 1:2-benzanthraquinone and 4′-chloro-3′-methyl-1:2-benzanthraquinone, followed by dehydrogenation. 3-Hydroxy-1:2-benzanthraquinone was methylated in the 4-position by formaldehyde, sodium hydrosulphite and sodium hydroxide solution (the Marschalk reaction). Simultaneous reduction of the nuclear hydroxyl and quinone groups was effected by Raney nickel reduction of the trisulphuric ester of 3:9:10-trihydroxy-4-methyl-1:2-benzanthracene, and the resultant hexahydro-4-methyl-1:2-benzanthracene was dehydrogenated to 4-methyl-1:2-benzanthracene. The preparation of 3:4:9:10-dibenzopyrene from Mayvat brilliant red AF by Raney nickel reduction of the sulphuric ester of the leuco derivative and subsequent dehydrogenation is described.

Regioselective alkylation of 2-alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (1) and 2-alkyl-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (2) was investigated. 3-[2'-(1-tert-Butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-2-propyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (6) was preferentially obtained under the conditions by using NaH in DMF or THF. On the other hand, 3-[2'-(1-tert-butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-2-propyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (5), the synthetic intermediate compound of Pratosartan, was obtained selectively in the presence of n-Bu(4)NBr in toluene by using aqueous sodium hydroxide as a base. In this reaction, it was found that the concentration of the alkaline solution influences its regioselectivity. This selectivity was observed even for aldehyde and ester derivatives.

4-Alkoxycarbonyl, 4-alkylthiocarbonyl and 5-alkoxycarbonyloxy derivatives of 1-substituted-3-methylpyrazol-5-ones

The reaction of 1-substituted-3-methylpyrazol-5-ones 1 with alkyl chloroformates and calcium hydroxide in dioxane have been studied. With 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one, the isolated product was alkyl 3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenylpyrazole-4-carboxylate 2 but with 1-alkyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one formation of 1-alkyl-5-alkoxycarbonyloxy-3-methylpyrazole 3 was observed. Replacement of alkyl chloroformate by bis(alkoxythiocarbonyl) sulfide results in the formation of 4-alkoxythiocarbonyl derivatives 4 in low yield with both 1-substituted-3-methylpyrazol-5-ones.
