Synthesis of arylglycine and mandelic acid derivatives through carboxylations of α-amido and α-acetoxy stannanes with carbon dioxide

Incorporation reactions of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) with N-Boc-α-amido and α-acetoxy stannanes were developed using CsF as a mild tin activator. Monoprotected α-amido stannanes could be used, and the corresponding arylglycine derivatives were obtained in moderate-to-high yields under 1 MPa (10 atm) of CO(2) pressure. α-Acetoxy stannanes also underwent carboxylation to afford mandelic acid derivatives in excellent yields under ambient CO(2) pressure. Both transformations enabled the synthesis of α-tertiary and α-quaternary carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, the chirality of (S)-N-tert-butylsulfonyl-α-amido stannanes was transferred with up to 90% inversion of configuration at 100 °C.     

Chemical aspects of penicillin allergy. The direct formation of penicilloyl determinants in penicillin

The aminolysis of two penicillin-like compounds which cannot form penicillenic acid has been studied:

• 1 6-Aminopenicillanic acid (which is highly immunogenic) reacts directly with ε-amino groups at pH 7,4 under CO₂-free conditions; the possible role of its polymerisation in this reaction remains to be studied.
• 2 6-Dinitrophenylamino-penicillanic acid reacts with εamino groups at pH 7,4 as fast as benzylpenicillin and other penicillins. Its immunogenicity in the rabbit is similar to that of benzylpenicillin.

     

Aspects of formation of the D-penicillamine-antigenic determinant from penicilloyl compounds

The formation of D -penicillamine-L -cysteine mixed disulfide from benzylpenicilloic acid, benzylpenilloic acid and benzylpenicilloyl amide derivatives in L -cysteine suspensions at pH 7,6 and 37° was studied. The reaction is faster than direct penicilloylation of proteins known to be a route to penicilloyl antigenic determinants. The production of S-bound penicillamine on protein from penicilloyl compounds must therefore definitely be considered as a potential antigenforming step. The reaction may be partly if not fully blocked by acylation of the thiazolidine nitrogen of penicilloyl compounds. When formylation is applied a considerable reduction of the capacity of penicilloyl antigenic determinants to interact with anti-penicilloyl antibody is noted. A D -penicillamine-specific test antigen was prepared by binding D -penicillamine via thioether links to a partly succinylated poly-L -lysine. Clinical test reactions elicited with this conjugate and with penicilloic acid cannot be well correlated. Penicilloic acid probably detects reactions of undefined specificity in addition to D -penicillamine-specific ones.

1H-NMR-Untersuchungen an Sialinsäuren,V1 N-Acetyl-α-D-Neuraminsäure: Chemische Verschiebungen und Kopplungskonstanten; Konfiguration und Konformation in Lösung

Abstract

The enzymatic cleavage of N-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-d-neuraminic acid in the probe of the NMR spectrometer allows the accumulation of ¹H NMR spectra of the released a anomer of the N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid before it mutarotates to the β anomer. The analysis and computer simulation of the spectra yield the ¹H NMR data set of chemical shifts and coupling constants of N-acetyl-α- d-neuraminic acid. Using this data set, configuration and conformation in solution are discussed by comparing it with the ¹H NMR data set of the β anomer, the structure of which is known from an X-ray study.

Local protein backbone folds determined by calculated NMR chemical shifts

NMR chemical shifts (CSs: δN(NH), δC(α), δC(β), δC', δH(NH), and δH(α)) were computed for the amino acid backbone conformers (α(L), β(L), γ(L), δ(L), ε(L), α(D), γ(D), δ(D), and ε(D) [Perczel et al., J Am Chem Soc 1991, 113, 6256]) modeled by oligoalanine structures. Topological differences of the extended fold were investigated on single β-strands, hairpins with type I and II β-turns, as well as double- and triple-stranded β-sheet models. The so-called "capping effect" was analyzed: residues at the termini of a homoconformer sequence unit usually have different CSs than the central residues of an adequately long homoconformer model. In heteroconformer sequences capping effect ruins the direct applicability of several chemical shift types (δH(NH), δC', and δN(NH)) for backbone structure determination of the parent residue. Experimental δH(α), δC(α), and δC(β) values retrieved from protein database are in good agreement with the relevant computed data in the case of the common backbone conformers (α(L), β(L), γ(L), and ε(L)), even though neighboring residue effects were not accounted for. Experimental and computed ΔδH(α)-ΔδC(α), ΔδH(α)-ΔδC(β), and ΔδC(α)-ΔδC(β) maps give qualitatively the same picture, that is, the positions of the backbone conformers relative to each other are very similar. This indicates that the H(α), C(α), and C(β) chemical shifts of alanine depend considerably on the backbone fold of the parent residue also in proteins. We provide tabulated CSs of the chiral amino acids that may predict the various structures of the residues.     

Polarographic determination of penicilloic acid in penicillin preparations with a flow-injection system

A flow-injection method for the determination of the penicilloic acid content of benzylpenicillin, phenoxymethylpenicillin, ampicillin, cloxacillin and carbenicillin is described. The penicilloate is detected polarographically at a dropping mercury flow-through detector mounted on a conventional polarographic capillary. A constant potential of + 0.04 V vs. SCE is applied and the current is measured in the sampled direct current mode. A pH 9.2 borate buffer containing 0.05% Triton X-100 is used. Triton displaces the reduction wave of oxygen about 400 mV towards negative potentials so that deaeration is not necessary. The penicilloate gives linear calibration graphs for 2 × 10^-6–1 × 10^-4 M solutions. The relative standard deviation for 10 injections of a 5 × 10^-5 M solution is 0.2%. Results for the determination of penicilloate in the presence of large amounts of penicillin (the latter in 10–1000-fold excess) are compared with results obtained by two titrimetric procedures.     

Controlled ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters with phosphoric acid as catalysts

(R)-(?)-1,1′-Binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogen phosphate (BPA) has been demonstrated as an efficient organocatalyst for controlled ring-opening homopolymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and copolymerization of ε-CL with glycolide and lactide. High molar mass PCL with narrow molar mass distribution has also been synthesized from the bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-CL with BPA as catalysts; the highest molar mass of PCL is 4.35?×?10⁴ g/mol with polydispersity index of 1.20. The successful synthesis of high molar mass PCL is attributed to the bifunctional activation mechanism for the ROP of ε-CL catalyzed by BPA. More interestingly, ppm level of BPA is sufficient to catalyze controlled ROP of ε-CL.     

Capillary electrophoresis‐based enzyme assays for β‐lactamase enzymes

Generic in‐capillary as well as offline CE‐based enzyme assays were developed for serine‐β‐lactamases and metallo‐β‐lactamases. The hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin to benzylpenicilloic acid was analyzed using 100 mM sodium phosphate solution, pH 6.0, as a background electrolyte. In‐capillary assays employed an uncoated as well as a polyethylene oxide‐coated capillary, while the offline assays employing long end and short end injection were performed in an uncoated capillary. Using procaine hydrochloride or 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid as internal standard, the respective assays were validated with regard to linearity, LOD and LOQ, repeatability, precision, and accuracy. The assays were applied to the determination of the Michaelis‐Menten parameters K_m and V_max of Bacillus cereus penicillinase as well as New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase 1 and Verona integrin‐encoded metallo‐β‐lactamase 2. Furthermore, the inhibition of the enzymes by irreversible and competitive inhibitors was evaluated. Comparable data were obtained with all assays. The use of a simple substrate ensured broad applicability to the various types of β‐lactamases.     

A Novel and Convenient Preparation of 1-(γ-Aminoalkyl)-Substituted 1,2,4-Triazoles

1-(α-Aminomethyl)-1,2,4-triazoles readily add to enol ethers or enamides to give novel classes of compounds, 1-(γ-amino-α-alkoxy)propyl- (8) and 1-(γ-amino-α-amido)propyl- (10) substituted 1,2,4-triazoles, in excellent yields.     

Practical synthesis of N-Boc- and N-Cbz-α-amido stannanes from α-amido sulfones using TMSSnBu3 and CsF

In the presence of TMSSnBu(3) and CsF, stannylation of N-Boc- and N-Cbz-α-amido sulfones proceeded very well to afford the corresponding α-amido stannanes in moderate-to-high yields. This reaction tolerated α-aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkyl-substituted α-amido sulfones as well as substrates containing either an ester or cyano moiety, which might be reactive with lithium or magnesium stannides employed in conventional stannylation.     

Remarkable effect of alkali metal on polymerization of cyclic esters catalyzed by samarium-alkali metal multinuclear alkoxide clusters

The remarkable effect of alkali metal on catalytic reactivity of samarium-alkali metal multinuclear alkoxide clusters is systematically studied. Three samarium-alkali metal multinuclear alkoxide clusters are synthesized in high yield by the reaction of anhydrous SmCl(3) with different molar ratios of alkali metal alkoxide and MOH (M = Na or K) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). These clusters were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR and single-crystal structural analysis. These clusters exhibited good catalytic activity for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL), L-lactide (L-LA) and trimethylene carbonate (TMC). It is interesting to note that the catalytic activity is much influenced by the alkali metals of the clusters. For the polymerization of these cyclic esters, the catalytic activities all increase with the increase of the molar ratio of alkali metal to samarium metal.     

Study of the interaction between ethanol and natural amino acids containing ionic side groups in water at T = 298.15 K

The enthalpies of solution of l-α-aspartic acid, l-α-glutamic acid, l-α-arginine, l-α-lysine, and l-α-histidine have been measured in aqueous ethanol solutions at 298.15 K. From the obtained experimental results, the standard enthalpies of solution of amino acids in water–ethanol solutions have been determined. These data were used to calculate the heterogeneous enthalpic pair interaction coefficients based on McMillan–Mayer’s formalism. These values were interpreted in the terms of the ionic or no polar effect of the side chains of l-α-amino acids on their interactions with a molecule of ethanol in water.     

Facing unexpected reactivity paths with Zr(IV)-pyridylamido polymerization catalysts

This work provides original insights to the better understanding of the complex structure-activity relationship of Zr(IV)-pyridylamido-based olefin polymerization catalysts and highlights the importance of the metal-precursor choice (Zr(NMe(2))(4) vs. Zr(Bn)(4)) to prepare precatalysts of unambiguous identity. A temperature-controlled and reversible σ-bond metathesis/protonolysis reaction is found to take place on the Zr(IV)-amido complexes in the 298-383 K temperature range, changing the metal coordination sphere dramatically (from a five-coordinated tris-amido species stabilized by bidentate monoanionic {N,N(-)} ligands to a six-coordinated bis-amido-mono-amino complexes featured by tridentate dianionic {N(-),N,C(-)} ligands). Well-defined neutral Zr(IV)-pyridylamido complexes have been prepared from Zr(Bn)(4) as metal source. Their cationic derivatives [Zr(IV) N(-),N,C(-)}Bn](+)[B(C(6)F(5))(4)](-) have been successfully applied to the room-temperature polymerization of 1-hexene with productivities up to one order of magnitude higher than those reported for the related Hf(IV) state-of-the-art systems. Most importantly, a linear increase of the poly(1-hexene) M(n) values (30-250 kg mol(-1)) has been observed upon catalyst aging. According to that, the major active species (responsible for the increased M(n) polymer values) in the aged catalyst solution, has been identified.     

Chromatographic separation and chemical analysis of polymers formed by penicillin G

To elucidate the chemical structures of penicillin polymers that may elicit an allergic reaction, a 25% aqueous solution of penicillin G potassium was kept standing in the dark at room temperature for 14 days and was then separated by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-25. The fractions of Kav 0.0-0.3, 0.3-0.55 and 0.55-0.75 were designated fractions A, B and C, respectively. Chemical and spectral data indicated that fractions A and B had almost similar chemical structures, but differed in molecular weight. They consisted of equimolar phenylacetyl and thiazolidine moieties and showed a C:N:S ratio almost equal to that of penicillin G. Their degrees of polymerization were 10 for A and 3.2 for B. Comparison of 1H NMR and IR spectra and thin-layer chromatographic RF values with those of authentic standards showed that the main components of fraction C were N- formylpenicillamine , benzylpenilloic acid, benzylpenicilloic acid and benzylpenillic acid.     

Differentation of penicilloic acids from functional derivatives of their alpha carboxyl group with the penamaldate stability test

The distinction between derivatives of penicilloic acids with modified α-carboxyl function and the corresponding penicilloic acids themselves by means of a photometric test is described. The procedure involves conversion of the penicillin derivatives to penamaldates by the action of mercuric chloride, and comparison of the stability of the extinction at 282 nm in phosphate buffer at pH 7,4. The stabilities of the free penamaldates made from penicilloic acids are quite low (half life 4 to 5 minutes) and contrast with the high stabilities of penamaldoyl derivatives obtained from the α-derivatives of penicilloic acids. Some characteristics of the method are discussed, and its potential usefulness for the quantitative analysis of mixtures of penicilloic acid and α-derivatives of penicilloic acid is demonstrated.     

Water-DMF-L-α-alanine and water-carbamide-L-α-alanine systems. Thermodynamic properties, solvation, and interspecies interactions at 273–333 K

Thermal effects of dissolution of L-α-alanine in water-N,N-dimethylformamide mixtures (0–0.1 molar parts of DMF) at 283–318 K were measured calorimetrically. Standard enthalpies and heat capacities of dissolution of the amino acid and also thermal variations in entropies and free energies were calculated. The comparison with previously obtained data on the thermodynamics of dissolution of L-α-alamine in the carbamide water solution was performed. Temperature variations in the reduced Gibbs energy in the course of dissolution of L-α-alanine in water-DMF and water-carbamide mixtures have negative values originating from the prevalence of the entropy component. At the increase in temperature both mixtures become less structured. The interaction of L-α-alanine with hydrophilic and hydrophobic amides differs fundamentally: In the first case it is enthalpy-attractive and does not depend on temperature, while in the second case it is repulsive and decreases with the increase in temperature.
