Synthesis,chemical reactivity,and photophysical properties of 2′,7′ phenylated rhodamine dyes

While exploring water soluble rhodamine based fluorescent polymeric systems for biological imaging applications we came across new rhodamine derivatives that possess interesting optical properties. We report the synthesis of three different 2′,7′-diphenylated rhodamine derivatives (1–3) with distinct photophysical properties. The three rhodamine derivatives differ by the number of methyl groups present on the nitrogens and their absorption maxima are red-shifted on increased methylation. We observed an unusual inertness of these compounds toward traditional DCC–DMAP esterification conditions, which we attribute to the ease of lactonization in the presence of even minute amounts of the nucleophile/base DMAP (pK_a = 9.2). Synthesis of acrylate esters was successfully accomplished using MSNT (1-(Mesitylene-2-sulfonyl)-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole) coupling conditions using a much milder nucleophile/base, for example, N-methyl imidazole (pK_a = 6.95).     

Synthesis and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity of chrysin,diosmetin,apigenin,and luteolin derivatives

Several derivatives have been synthesized from chrysin, diosmetin, apigenin, and luteolin, which were isolated from diverse natural plants. The a-glucosidase inhibitory activity of these compounds was evaluated. The glucosidase inhibitory activity of all derivatives(IC50 24.396 mmol/L) was higher compared with that of the reference drug, acarbose(IC50= 563.601 40.492 mmol/L), and 1-deoxynojirimycin(IC50= 226.912 12.573 mmol/L). O30,O7-Hexyl diosmetin(IC50= 2.406 0.101 mmol/L)was the most potent inhibitor identified. These compounds showed a higher inhibitory ability compared with their precursors except the luteolin derivatives. In general, the inhibitory activity of the synthetic derivatives was enhanced with long alkyl chains at positions 30, 40 and 7 of the flavonoid.     

Synthesis of 8-halogenated-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine as an 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine analogue and evaluation of its base pairing properties

8-Halogenated-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosines (8-halo-7-deaza-dG) were designed to structurally mimic 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), which is representative of an oxidized nucleoside. It has been shown by NMR that the conformation around the N-glycosidic bond of (8-halo-7-deaza-dG) is preferably syn, similar to 8-oxo-dG. The base pairing properties of 8-halo-7-deaza-dG were studied by measuring the thermal denaturation temperature of the duplexes, showing that their base pair with dC is destabilized compared with natural dG. These results also support their preference for syn conformation. Unlike 8-oxo-dG, 8-halo-7-deaza-dG did not form a stable base pair with dA, most likely due to the lack of N7-H hydrogen bonding with dA. In conclusion, the newly-designed 8-halo-7-deaza-dG analogs resemble 8-oxo-dG in its shape and preference for syn conformation, but they do not form Hoogsteen base pair with the opposing dA.     

Synthesis and biological activity of novel 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-thiazole-5-carboxamide derivatives

Synthesis and crystalline state photochromism of 3,3′-diaryl biindenylidenedione derivatives

A new series of 3,3′-diaryl biindenylidenedione derivatives were synthesized through Grignard reaction. Some of their stereoisomers were obtained by photochemical transformation upon heating and a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed. Most of these compounds exhibited photochromism in crystalline states as well as generation of stable organic radicals. The absolute configurations of the stereoisomers were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The results showed that the position of substituent could dramatically affect molecular structure and photochemical properties of the biindenylidenedione derivatives.

A new compound, Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇, was synthesized from the PbF₂/B₂O₃ flux system, which is the first compound found in the PbF₂/Al₂O₃/B₂O₃ system. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Cmca (No. 64) with unit cell parameters a = 11.649(7) Å, b = 18.300(11) Å, c = 6.394(4) Å, Z = 4. The crystal structure of Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ contains the group [Pb₆BO₁₁F₁₀] as basal building unit, which connects with each other forming two‐dimensional _∞[Pb₆BO₁₁F₁₀] layers, whereas aluminum atoms are filled in the interlayers. The IR spectrum further confirms the presence of BO₃ groups. The calculated band structures and the density of states of Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ suggest that its indirect gap is 2.968 eV. The DSC analysis and X‐ray diffraction technique prove that Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ is a congruent‐melting compound.
