Effects of Bases on the Stabilities of Nucleoside C4'''' Radicals

C4'-H bond dissociation enthalpies of nucleosides were predicted using theoretical methods to a precision of 1-2 Kcal/mol. It was found that the stability of the C4' nucleoside radical is slightly dependent on the base. The orders of stability are dA < dG < dT < dC for deoxynucleosides and U < G < A = C for nucleosides.     

Formulation ofα-linolenic acid microemulsion free of co-surfactant

<正>A novel class ofα-linolenic acid-in-water microemulsion free of co-surfactant was investigated as potential food delivery systems.Rough demarcation within the transparent region was deduced from the results of conductivity and polarizing optical microscopy.The microemulsion mean hydrodynamic diameter and characterization were determined by dynamic light scattering and negative-staining TEM.The location of ALA molecules in the microemulsion formulations was determined by ~1H NMR spectroscopy.     

Thermodynamic Study of the Three Isomers of Bromobenzoic Acid

The enthalpies of sublimation and fusion and triple-point temperatures of 2-bromo-. 3-bro-mo- and 4-bromobenzoic acids have been determined precisely by sublimation calorimetry, drop calorimetry and differential thermal analysis. The measurements of sublimation enthalpy of the three acids were made at 333, 348 and 363 K, respectively, using a Tian-Calvet microcalorimeter equipped with Knudsen effusion cells. The derived standard molar enthalpies of sublimation at 298.15 K are (95. 94±0. 41), (99. 20± 0.18), and (103. 08±0. 59) kJ · mol-1for the 2-bromo-, 3-bromo- and 4-bromobenzoic acids, respectively. In addition, the saturated vapour pressure of these compounds was also calculated on the basis of the sublimation experiments. The enthalpy of fusion, the triple-point temperatures and the mole fraction purities of the samples of the investigated substances were measured using the mean temperature version DTA apparatus developed by the CTM of the CNRS in Marseille. The triple-point temperature and the     

Establishment of “one-piece” large-gel 2-DE for high-resolution analysis of small amounts of sample using difference gel electrophoresis saturation labelling

Large-gel two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) is the method of choice for high-resolution proteome analysis of complex protein mixtures. Until now, however, the advantages of large 2-DE in combination with multiplexed fluorescence dye protein labelling has been complicated by the separate handling and analysis of the second-dimension gels. Therefore, we adapted the large 2-DE procedure allowing us to run “one-piece” large 2-DE gels (40 cm × 30 cm) in the second dimension for high resolution proteome analysis. Here, we show that in combination with fluorescence dye protein saturation labelling “one-piece” large 2-DE enables analysis of small amounts of sample (3 μg protein) for high-resolution proteome analysis.

I2/TBHP mediated multiple CH bonds functionalization of azaarenes with methylarenes to synthesize iodoisoquinolinones via iodination/N-benzylation/amidation sequence

An oxidative multi-functionalization of azaarenes with benzylic CH bonds of methylarenes via iodination/N-benzylation/amidation cascade, to produce N-benzyl-4-iodoisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones and N-benzyl-3-iodoquinolin-2(1H)-ones is developed. The molecular iodine plays a triple role in activating benzylic sp³ CH bond of methylbenzenes, accelerating the oxidation process and serving as iodination reagent. This reaction utilizes cheap and readily available azaarenes and methylarenes as starting materials and proceeds under metal-free conditions to construct C-I, CN and CO bonds consecutively and afford iodo(iso)quinolinones efficiently.     

New Grafted Copolymers Carrying Betaine Units Based on Gellan and N-Vinylimidazole as Precursors for Design of Drug Delivery Systems

New grafted copolymers possessing structural units of 1-vinyl-3-(1-carboxymethyl) imidazolium betaine were obtained by graft copolymerization of N-vinylimidazole onto gellan gum followed by the polymer-analogous reactions on grafted polymer with the highest grafting percentage using sodium chloroacetate as the betainization agent. The grafted copolymers were prepared using ammonium persulfate/N,N,N′,N′ tetramethylethylenediamine in a nitrogen atmosphere. The grafting reaction conditions were optimized by changing one of the following reaction parameters: initiator concentration, monomer concentration, polymer concentration, reaction time or temperature, while the other parameters remained constant. The highest grafting yield was obtained under the following reaction conditions: c_i = 0.08 mol/L, c_m = 0.8 mol/L, c_p = 8 g/L, t_r = 4 h and T = 50 °C. The kinetics of the graft copolymerization of N-vinylimidazole onto gellan was discussed and a suitable reaction mechanism was proposed. The evidence of the grafting reaction was confirmed through FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The grafted copolymer with betaine structure was obtained by a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the betainization agent was sodium chloroacetate. Preliminary results prove the ability of the grafted copolymers to bind amphoteric drugs (cefotaxime) and, therefore, the possibility of developing the new sustained drug release systems.     

Synthesis and reactivity of subvalent compounds. Part 13: Reaction of triethyl orthoformate with amines and selenium—a convenient one-step three-component synthesis for selenoureas

Selenoureas are obtained by a novel three-component condensation reaction from metallic selenium, triethyl orthoformate and a primary or secondary amine. The reaction is carried out as solvent-free one pot-procedure at 180-190°C under inert gas with a reaction time of 8 h. The reaction was tested for piperidine, isopropylamine, N,N′-dimethylpropylenediamine (Me-NH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-NH-Me) and N,N′-disubstituted ethylenediamines (R-NH-CH₂-CH₂-NH-R, R=Me, Et, ⁱPr, ^tBu, Ph).     

Synthesis of Rh(I) and Ir(I) complexes with chiral C2-multitopic ligands: Structural and catalytic properties

Four multitopic ligands, N,N′-bis[(S)-prolyl)phenylenediamine, N,N′-bis{[(S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]methyl}phenylenediamine, N,N′-bis[(S)-N-benzylprolyl]phenylenediamine, N,N′-bis{[(S)-N-benzyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl]methyl}phenylenediamine, were synthesised and their co-ordination properties with Rh(I) and Ir(I) studied. The complexes were prepared by the reaction of [MCl(cod)]₂ with AgPF₆ and further treatment with the ligand. All ligands form one to one [ML] species with the above metal ions. The structures of these complexes were elucidated by analytical and spectroscopic data (elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR). Complexes show excellent activities and enantioselectivities up to 30% for the hydrogenation of prochiral olefins under mild reaction conditions.     

Sulfide oxygenation by tert-butyl hydroperoxide with mononuclear (Me3TACN)Mn catalysts

Mononuclear (Me₃TACN)MnX₃ compounds, where X is Cl⁻, Br⁻, or N₃⁻, and Me₃TACN is 1,4,7-N,N′,N″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, have been tested for catalyzing both sulfide oxygenation and styrene epoxidation by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and display turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 200 h⁻¹ at room temperature. Sulfoxides or sulfones may be produced selectively by varying reaction conditions. Product distribution from the oxygenation reactions of ethyl phenyl sulfide, 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide, and styrene is consistent with a mechanism involving an early single-electron transfer (SET) step.     

Synthesis of polyfunctionalized methylphosphine oxides

N,N-Dialkylamino(diphenylphosphoryl)chloromethanes, a new type of organophosphorus compounds, were synthesized. On dissolving in polar and low polar solvents, N,N-dialkylamino(diphenylphosphoryl)chloromethanes dissociate spontaneously with the P??C bond cleavage to form the diphenylphosphinite anion Ph₂PO^?. This was confirmed by the reaction of N,N-dimethylamino(diphenylphosphoryl)chloromethane with electrophilic substrates to form the corresponding addition or substitution products of Ph₂PO^?. The capability of spontaneous generating the diphenylphosphinite anion considers accessible N,N-dimethylamino(diphenylphosphoryl)chloromethane as a synthetic equivalent of the diphenylphosphinite anion.     

Cobalt complexes of a selenium diimide and a tellurium diimide dimer

[CoCl₂{N,N′-Te₂(N^tBu)₄}] (1) was obtained in good yields by the reaction of equimolar amounts of (^tBu)NTe(μ-N^tBu)₂TeN(^tBu) and CoCl₂ in toluene under an argon atmosphere. The crystal structure of 1·CH₂Cl₂ showed that the dimeric tellurium diimide ligand is N,N′-chelated to cobalt. The related reaction of Se(N^tBu)₂ and CoCl₂ affords a green product tentatively identified as a 1:1 adduct [CoCl₂{N,N′-Se(N^tBu)₂}] (CHN analysis). However, recrystallization from thf produces the ion-separated complex [Co₂(μ-Cl)₃{N,N′-Se(N^tBu)₂}₂(thf)₂][CoCl₃{NH₂(^tBu)}]·1½thf (2·1½thf), in which the monomeric selenium diimide ligand is N,N′-chelated to cobalt in the cation. A pathway for the formation of 2 from [CoCl₂{N,N′-Se(N^tBu)₂}] in thf is proposed.     

Kinetic and mechanistic investigations on the oxidation of N’-heteroaryl unsymmetrical formamidines by permanganate in aqueous alkaline medium

Kinetic studies on the oxidation of two substituted azinyl formamidines (Azn-Fs), namely N,N-dimethyl-N’-(pyrimidin-2-yl) formamidine (Pym-F) and N,N-dimethyl-N’-(pyridin-2-yl) formamidine (Py-F), by alkaline permanganate have been performed by spectrophotometry. The spectroscopic and kinetic evidence reveals the formation of 1:1 intermediate complexes between the oxidant and substrates. The influence of pH on the oxidation rates indicated that the reactions are base-catalyzed. The reactions show identical kinetics, being first order each in [MnO₄ ^?]₀ and [Azn-F]₀, but with a fractional first-order dependence on [OH^?]. The effect of temperature on the reaction rate has been studied. Increasing ionic strength has no significant effect on the rate. The final oxidation products of Pym-F and Py-F were identified as 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-aminopyridine, respectively, in addition to dimethyl amine and carbon dioxide. Under comparable experimental conditions, the oxidation rate of Py-F is higher than that of Pym-F. A reaction mechanism adequately describing the observed kinetic behavior is proposed, and the reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism have been evaluated. The activation parameters with respect to the rate-limiting step of the reactions, along with thermodynamic quantities, are presented and discussed.     

Novel chiral tetraaza ligands: synthesis and application in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Novel chiral tetraaza ligands, N¹,N²-bis(2-(piperidin-1-yl)benzylidene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine 1 and N¹,N²-bis(2-(piperidin-1-yl)benzyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine 2, have been synthesized and fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. The structure of (R,R)-1 has been established by X-ray crystallography. Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones with the catalysts prepared in situ from [IrHCl₂(COD)]₂ and the chiral tetraaza ligands in 2-propanol gave the corresponding optically active secondary alcohols in high conversions and good ees (up to 91%) under mild reaction conditions.     

Comparison of Nonheme Manganese- and Iron-Containing Flavone Synthase Mimics

Heme and nonheme-type flavone synthase enzymes, FS I and FS II are responsible for the synthesis of flavones, which play an important role in various biological processes, and have a wide range of biomedicinal properties including antitumor, antimalarial, and antioxidant activities. To get more insight into the mechanism of this curious enzyme reaction, nonheme structural and functional models were carried out by the use of mononuclear iron, [Fe^II(CDA-BPA*)]²⁺ (6) [CDA-BPA = N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-cyclohexanediamine], [Fe^II(CDA-BQA*)]²⁺ (5) [CDA-BQA = N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis-(2-quinolilmethyl)-cyclohexanediamine], [Fe^II(Bn-TPEN)(CH₃CN)]²⁺ (3) [Bn-TPEN = N-benzyl-N,N’,N’-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-diaminoethane], [Fe^IV(O)(Bn-TPEN)]²⁺ (9), and manganese, [Mn^II(N4Py*)(CH₃CN)]²⁺ (2) [N4Py* = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-di(2-pyridyl)ethylamine)], [Mn^II(Bn-TPEN)(CH₃CN)]²⁺ (4) complexes as catalysts, where the possible reactive intermediates, high-valent Fe^IV(O) and Mn^IV(O) are known and well characterised. The results of the catalytic and stoichiometric reactions showed that the ligand framework and the nature of the metal cofactor significantly influenced the reactivity of the catalyst and its intermediate. Comparing the reactions of [Fe^IV(O)(Bn-TPEN)]²⁺ (9) and [Mn^IV(O)(Bn-TPEN)]²⁺ (10) towards flavanone under the same conditions, a 3.5-fold difference in reaction rate was observed in favor of iron, and this value is three orders of magnitude higher than was observed for the previously published [Fe^IV(O)(N2Py2Q*)]²⁺ [N,N-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-di(2-pyridyl)ethylamine] species.
