Influence of polarity of solvents on the spectral properties of bichromophoric coumarins

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of bichromophoric coumarins were investigated in different solvents and in polymer matrices. These bichromophoric coumarins were composed of a coumarin dimethylamino-substituted at position 7 or unsubstituted coumarin and phthalimide or a 1,8-naphthylimide linked with an iminomethyl bridge to the position 3 or 8 of the coumarin ring. Absorption spectra of 7-dimethylamino derivatives in position 3 of coumarin were quite similar, exhibiting broad bands around 430-440 nm like the parent compound 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde. For coumarin derivatives substituted in position 8, the absorption maximum was shifted to shorter wavelength as for derivatives without position 7 dimethylamino substitution. The most intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin in polar solvent, while intense fluorescence was observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]-coumarin in non polar solvent (chloroform), comparable with the fluorescence of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Spectral measurements of bichromophoric coumarins in polymer matrices revealed that the maxima lies in between those for chloroform and methanol yielding more intense fluorescence then in solutions. Completely different solvent effects were observed for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxobenz[de]isoquinolinyl)imino-methyl]coumarin and 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin. With addition of polar methanol the intensity of fluorescence decreases, yielding a Stern-Volmer-like constant of 0.54 dm3 mol?1 for 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[N-(1,3-dioxo-benz[de]isoquinolinyl)iminomethyl]coumarin and an even higher one of 1.08 dm3·mol?1 for 7-dimethylaminocoumarin-3-carbaldehyde compared to the rather low one of 0.024 dm3 mol?1 for 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. Contrary to this, addition of methanol under identical conditions brings about an increase in fluorescence intensity of 7-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-[(N-phtalimidoyl)iminomethyl]coumarin (about 60-fold). The reasons for these different solvent effects are discussed.

Photochemistry of 7-azide-1-ethyl-3-carboxylate-6,8-difluoroquinolone: a novel reagent for photoaffinity labeling

A novel reagent for photoaffinity labeling, 7-azido-1-ethyl-3-carboxylate-6,8-difluoroquinolone, was obtained by nucleophilic substitution of 1-ethyl-3-carboxylate-6,7,8-trifluoroquinolone. Photochemical reaction of this azide with diethyl amine gave 7-hydrazino-derivative as the major product. This compound was generated by singlet nitrene N-H insertion. In addition, 7-amino-1-ethyl-3-carboxylate-6,8-difluoroquinolone was also obtained.     

A sensitive method for the detection of catecholamine based on fluorescence quenching of CdSe nanocrystals

A sensitive method for the detection of catecholamine based on the fluorescence quenching of CdSe nanocrystals was developed. The sodium citrate-protected CdSe nanocrystals were synthesized in water solution. The fluorescence quenching of CdSe nanocrystals by dopamine, uric acid, ascorbic acid and catechol was studied; the results showed that all of these four kinds of compounds could quench the fluorescence of nanocrystals, and the quenching constant was 6.3 × 10⁴, 2.57 × 10³, 2.14 × 10³ and 1.168 × 10³, respectively. The order of sensitivity for the biosensor was: dopamine > lactic acid > ascorbic acid > catechol. This method shows good selectivity for dopamine, the detection limit reaches 5.8 × 10⁻⁸ M.

The first example of the stereoselective synthesis of 7 beta-carbamoyl-4,5alpha-epoxymorphinan via a novel and reactive gamma-lactone

7beta-Carbamoyl-4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans 5 were stereoselectively synthesized from the 7alpha-carboxylate intermediate 3 in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and amines under reflux conditions in mesitylene via a novel and reactive gamma-lactone 7. These were the first examples of the stereoselective syntheses of 7beta-substituted 4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans. The mechanism of the reaction process was elucidated as follows: 1) epimerization of 7alpha-carboxylate 3, 2) intramolecular lactonization of 7beta-carboxylate 6, and 3) aminolysis of the resultant gamma-lactone 7. The aminolysis of the isolated reactive gamma-lactone 7 with allylamine and the alcoholysis with MeOH in the presence of NaBH(4) proceeded at room temperature. The gamma-lactone 7 can be a useful intermediate for the preparation of 7beta-substituted 4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans that would be potent selective delta opioid receptor ligands. The stereoselective syntheses of the 7alpha-carbamoyl-4,5alpha-epoxymorphinans 9 from 7alpha-carboxylate 3 via 7alpha-carboxylic acid were also successful.

Synthesis and stereoisomerism of derivatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl 7-alkylideneceph-3-em-4-carboxylate

By condensation of tert-butyl 3-methyl-7-oxoceph-3-em-4-carboxylate and its 3-acetoxymethyl analog with acetylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane and 3-trimethylsilylpropyn-2-ylindenetriphenylphosphorane tert-butyl 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methylceph-3-em-4-carboxylate and also 7Z-and 7E-isomers of tert-butyl 3-acetoxymethyl-7-(3-trimethylsilylpropyn-2-ylidene)ceph-3-em-4-carboxylates were synthesized. Oxidation of these compounds with 1 equivalent of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid gave their 1R-and 1S-sulfoxides, and oxidation with 2 equivalents gave the corresponding sulfones. According to data from ¹H NMR spectroscopy, the carbonyl of the β-lactam descreens proton H-9 of the alkylidene group in the 7Z-isomers more strongly than in the 7E-isomers, shifting their signals to weaker field. Analogous shifts of the H-6 signal to weaker field was observed in the 1R-sulfoxides in comparison with that for the 1S-sulfoxide. These results were confirmed by X-ray crystallography of tert-butyl 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methyl-1S-oxoceph-3-em-4-carboxylate and tert-butyl 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxoceph-3-em-4-carboxy-late.

Stereospecific synthesis of t,t-1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopentanes and of angularly disubstituted t-hydrindanols

Anodic oxidative decarboxylation of endo-3-methoxycarbonyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-endo-2-carboxylate anion gave exclusively an oxygen-assisted Wagner-Meerwein-rearranged product, methyl 3-methoxy-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-anti-7-carboxylate, constituting a method for the stereospecific synthesis of c-3-acyl-t-2-methoxycarbonyl-r-1-cyclopentanols. Synthesis of 7a-methoxycarbonyl-t-hydrindane-3a,1-carbolactones was also attained.     

A density functional study of N NQR parameters of imidazole derivatives and extrapolation to PfHRP2–Fe-PPIX complex

In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate ¹⁴N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC), χ, and asymmetry parameters, η, for a series of imidazole derivatives: imidazole, 5-methylimidazole and histidine. These calculations were carried out with the PW91P86 method via the Gaussian 98 package. A systematic theoretical investigation of the different environmental effects on (χ, η) values of amino ¹⁴N1 and imino ¹⁴N2 of imidazole ring of these compounds, reveals that the local surrounding of nitrogen atoms play an important role in determining their χ and η values. Our calculations in solution show that adding explicit solvent molecules to the polarizable continuum model (PCM) has a strong effect on (χ, η) values, thereby indicating that for long-range effects, PCM, is not sufficient to describe the whole solvent effects. We also evaluate the influence of [Fe³⁺ (S = 1/2)] on the (χ, η) values of proximal and remote nitrogens of an axial ligand and compare with those of free ligands. The results show that Fe³⁺ has a strong effect on the (χ, η) values of proximal nitrogen unlike remote nitrogen. Finally, our results predict (χ = 1.56 MHz, η = 0.690) for proximal nitrogen and (χ = 2.75 MHz, η = 0.169) for remote nitrogen in PfHRP2–Fe³⁺-PPIX complex.     

Conformationally restricted goniofufurone mimics with halogen,azido or benzoyloxy groups at the C-7 position: Design,synthesis and antiproliferative activity

A series of new conformationally restricted goniofufurone mimics, bearing an additional 1,3-dioxan ring and a halogen, azido or benzoyloxy functionality at the C-7 position has been designed and synthesized. The Appel reaction was used for replacement of 7-OH group with Cl or Br functions in tricyclic lactone (3). 7-Iodo derivative (3d) was prepared by using the Ph₃P/I₂/2,6-lutidine reagent system. 7-Fluoro group was introduced by treatment of 3 with DAST, while the corresponding 7-azido and 7-benzoyloxy derivatives have been prepared by multistep sequences. Synthesized products were evaluated for their ability to inhibit growth of selected human malignant cell lines. Structure-activity relationships demonstrated that the nature of a substituent at the C-7 position could enhance the antiproliferative activity of the analogues. The preliminary study on the mechanisms indicated that all synthesized compounds induced apoptosis in 61–77% of K562?cells.     

Reductive coupling of metal triangles in sandwich complexes

The one-electron reduction of [Pd3(C7H7)2(CH3CN)3][BF4]2 in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of the dimer dication [Pd6(C7H7)4(CH3CN)4][BF4]2, whose structure containing a novel bitriangle hexapalladium skeleton was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The dimer is stable in CD3CN at ambient temperature for several days but is highly air-sensitive. Similarly, the cycloheptatriene tripalladium complex [Pd3(C7H7R)2(CH3CN)3][BF4]2 (R = H, t-Bu) dimerized upon one-electron reduction. Both monomer and dimer of cycloheptatriene complexes were structurally determined by X-ray crystallographic analyses.     

Ni-CH_3CH_2NH_2/H_(1.78)Sr_(0.78)Bi_(0.22)Nb_2O_7复合层状钙钛矿的合成及光催化分解水产氢性能(英文)

自从分解水产氢被首次报道以来,许多光催化剂被开发出来并用于光催化分解水产氢.然而,由于光生电子和空穴的复合率普遍较高,大部分的光催化剂分解水产氢效率都很低.因此,开发新型高效的光催化材料至关重要.具有(Bi_2O_2)~(2+)(A_(m-1)M_mO_(3m+1))~(2-)通式的Aurivillius相层状钙钛矿材料因具有独特的层状结构、元素可调性以及优异的电荷传输和分离能力而广泛应用于光催化分解水和去除有机污染物.此外,当该类层状钙钛矿被剥离成超薄纳米片时,其光催化性能进一步提高.为了进一步提高层状钙钛矿的载流子分离能力,将客体(如贵金属,半导体等)通过化学反应的途径插入到层状钙钛矿的层间区域,从而合成出复合层状钙钛矿被广泛发展和应用.然而,引入的客体主要是贵金属和半导体,这类客体的高成本和不均匀分布制约了其进一步的应用.由于廉价、无毒和稳定等优点,镍基材料如Ni,NiO,Ni_2O_3,NiS,NiS_2,Ni(OH)2和Ni(OH)x等被广泛用作增强电极材料的光电性能和催化剂的光催化分解水产氢性能的助催化剂.本文采用简单的原位化学反应法制备出镍基配合物Ni-CH_3CH_2NH_2(Ni-EA)插层的Ni-CH_3CH_2NH_2/H_(1.78)Sr_(0.78)Bi_(0.22)Nb_2O_7(Ni-EA/HSNNs)复合层状钙钛矿;然后采用X-射线衍射(XRD)、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X-射线光电子能谱(XPS)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱等手段对Ni-EA/HSNNs光催化剂进行了系统的研究.XRD结果表明,引入Ni~(2+)后,HSNNs层间距减小并且平行于钙钛矿层的晶面结晶度增强,证明HSNNs沿垂直于钙钛矿层的方向出现了层层组装.FTIR和XPS结果表明,引入的Ni~(2+)与HSNNs层间和表面的乙胺分子之间存在较强的相互作用,结合高分辨透射电镜图可知,Ni的存在形态可能为配合物Ni-EA.由此可见,当向HSNNs中引入Ni~(2+)时,Ni~(2+)和HSNNs层间和表面的乙胺分子反应生成带正电的配合物Ni-EA,由于Ni-EA与HSNNs的钙钛矿层带有异种电荷,两者之间存在较强的静电相互作用力,从而引起钙钛矿纳米片HSNNs的层层组装,最后形成Ni-EA/HSNNs复合层状钙钛矿.光催化分解水产氢性能测试结果表明,当引入0.5 wt%Ni时,复合层状钙钛矿表现出最优的光催化性能.与HSNNs(241.58μmol/h)相比,0.5%Ni-EA/HSNNs的光催化分解水产氢速率(372.67μmol/h)提高了0.54倍,表现出与0.5%Pt/HSNNs可比拟的光催化活性,可见,非贵金属Ni具有替代贵金属Pt的能力.进一步的研究表明,镍基配合物Ni-EA显著增强了催化剂的光生载流子的传输和分离能力,从而提高了其光催化分解水产氢性能.该文为光催化分解水产氢提供了一种简便的合成非贵金属配合物助催化剂的方法.

Role of support nature （γ-Al2O3 and SiO2-Al2O3） on the performances of rhenium oxide catalysts in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-pentene

The metathesis of ethylene and 2-pentene was studied as an alternative route for propylene production over Re2O7/γ-Al2O3 and Re2O7/SiO2-Al2O3 catalysts. Both NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) results showed that Re2O7/SiO2-Al2O3 exhibited stronger acidity and weaker metal-support interaction than Re2O7/γ-Al2O3. At 35 60℃, isomerization free metathesis was observed only over Re2O7/γ-Al2O3, suggesting that the formation of metal-carbene metathesis active sites required only weak acidity. Our results suggest that on the Re2O7/SiO2-Al2O3, hydrido-rhenium species ([Re]-H) were formed in addition to the metathesis active sites, resulting in the isomerization of the initial 1-butene product into 2-butenes. A subsequent secondary metathesis reaction between these 2-butenes and the excess ethylene could explain the enhanced yields of propylene observed. The results demonstrate the potential for high yield of propylene from alternative feedstocks.

Conformational features and recognition properties of a conformationally blocked calix[7]arene derivative

The shaping of a calix[7]arene macrocycle into cone-like structure 3, through exhaustive alkylation of doubly bridged calix[7]arene derivative 2 with bulky groups, has been investigated. Conformational details about the structure adopted by calix[7]arene derivative 3 in solution have been obtained by using chemical shift surface maps, as previously reported by our group. Thus, chemical shift contour plots indicated that 3 adopted a cone-shaped structure in solution analogous to that adopted by the known p-tert-butylcalix[7]arene heptacarboxylic acid derivative 4. Interestingly, the X-ray structure of derivative 3 showed a high degree of similarity to the theoretical structure, which confirmed the validity of the contour plots method. The preorganized calix[7]arene host 3 showed interesting recognition abilities toward both organic and alkali cations. In fact, an unprecedented endo-cavity complexation of linear and branched alkyl ammonium cations with a larger calix[7]arene host was evidenced. A comparable affinity for branched tBuNH(3)(+) and linear nBuNH(3)(+) guests was observed.     

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of ester-linked docetaxel-monosaccharide conjugates as water-soluble prodrugs

Three new docetaxel prodrugs, i.e., 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-glycopyranosides, which contain ester-linked monosaccharides, were synthesized by a chemo-enzymatic procedure involving enzymatic transglycosylations with lactase, β-galactosidase, or β-xylosidase. The water-solubility of 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside was 52-fold higher than that of docetaxel. 7-Propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-xylopyranoside were effectively hydrolyzed by the relevant enzyme(s) of human cancer cells to release docetaxel, whereas 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside was relatively resistant under similar conditions. 7-Propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-xylopyranoside showed in vitro cytotoxic activity against human cancer cells, whereas 7-propionyldocetaxel 3'-O-β-D-galactopyranoside exerted low cytotoxicity.     

Reduction of 6/7-substituted 3-phenyltrop-3-en-2-ones: stereoselectivity and conformational analysis of the products

Reduction of 6/7-carboethoxy-3-phenyltrop-3-en-2-ones with H₂/Pd/C and NaBH₄ was studied in order to find a stereoselective route to the corresponding 3-phenyltropan-2-ones and 2α/2β-hydroxy-3-phenyltropanes. The 6/7-exo-carboethoxy-3-phenyltrop-3-en-2-ones were selectively reduced by Pd/C to 3β-phenyltropan-2-ones and 2α-hydroxy-3β-phenyltropanes. The corresponding 2β-hydroxy-3β-phenyl analogues were synthesized using NaBH₄, with a yield of 40%. Reduction of 6-endo-carboethoxy-3-phenyltrop-3-en-2-one yielded several products. The corresponding 7-endo-substituted analogue was selectively reduced with both Pd/C and NaBH₄ to 7-endo-carboethoxy-3β-phenyltropin-2-one. Analysis of stereochemically important ¹H NMR spectroscopy parameters was performed for all the products and used for conformational analysis in solution. X-ray analysis was performed for selected compounds.
