Reactivity of thio (amino) derivatives of the ω-(4-hydroxyaryl)alkyl type in radical reactions

The enthalpies, activation energies, and rate constants of the reactions of thio (amino) alkylphenols of different structures were calculated and compared with those of the reactions of alkyl-substituted phenols, alkoxyl and alkyl radicals, hydroperoxides, and nitrogen dioxide, as well as the reactions of phenoxyl radicals with molecules of the substrate being oxidized. The calculation was performed by the intersecting parabolas method using O-H bond energy data for phenols. The correlation between the molecular structure of the thio (amino) alkylphenols and their reactivity in radical reactions is considered.     

Controlling the properties of poly(amino ester urethane)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(amino ester urethane) triblock copolymer pH/temperature-sensitive hydrogel

A series of triblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(β-amino ester urethane) (PAEU) was synthesized and characterized. Its aqueous solution can be used as a non-cytotoxic, biodegradable, and pH/temperature-sensitive hydrogel system. The copolymer solutions exhibited sol-to-gel and gel-to-sol transitions with increasing pH and temperature, respectively. The properties of this hydrogel system, such as its sol–gel transition diagram, mechanical properties, and degradation rate, can be controlled by modulating the PEG molecular weight, PAEU block length, copolymer concentration, or structure of the monomers. The presence of urethane groups and ionized tertiary amine groups in the copolymer solution at lightly acidic pH may lead to a strong interaction of the copolymer with formulated bioactive therapeutic agents, while the existence of the gel state under physiological conditions (37 °C, pH 7.4) may enable this copolymer hydrogel to be applicable as a drug/protein carrier.     

9-α-Nitro(hydroxy,amino)benzylidene- and 9-Hydroxy(amino)methylene-4-azafluorenes

Nitration of 9-benzylidene-4-azafluorene with acetyl nitrate leads to the formation of its 9--nitrobenzylidene derivative; reduction of the latter gives the corresponding enamine and oxime. Reaction of 4-azafluorene with ethyl benzoate and ethyl formate gives the hydroxybenzylidene and hydroxymethylene derivatives, which upon condensation with amines generate the corresponding enamines. Reduction of 9-formylazafluorene oxime gives 9-aminomethyleneazafluorene. All of the newly synthesized compounds were isolated in the form of mixtures of their Z- and E-isomers, and their structures were established using PMR spectroscopy.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 212–217, February, 1991.

Improved procedures for the synthesis of (S)-2-[N-(N′-benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone (BPB) and Ni(II) complexes of Schiff's bases derived from BPB and amino acids

(S)-N-Benzylproline (BP) was obtained by the reaction of (S)-proline and benzylchloride in high chemical yield (89%). (S)-2-[N-(N′-Benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone (BPB) was synthesized in amounts greater than 100 g by the SOCl₂ promoted condensation of BP with 2-aminobenzophenone (yield 82%). Ni(II) complexes of Schiff's bases derived from BPB and amino acids were prepared by an improved procedure involving the use of KOH as a base and MeOH as solvent (yield 90–91%).     

Glycoconjugates of amino acids. Preparation throughN-alkylation of amino acids withN-chloroacetyl-β-glycopyranosylamines

Monoalkylation of amino acids of different structural types withN-chloroacetyl-glycosylamines was shown to be applicable for the preparation of glycoconjugates containing β-d-galactose,N-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine, β-d-mannose, and lactose residues. The glycoconjugates were synthesized from amino acids with secondary (sarcosine,l-proline) or primary (l-2- and 4-aminobutyric acids,l-tryptophan) amino groups as well as from various amino dicarboxylic acids (N-methyl-dl-aspartic,dl-aspartic,l-glutamic, anddl-2-aminoadipic acids). The derivatives obtained may be of interest for glycotargeting of physiologically active compounds of this series. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Topological evolution of cerium(Ⅲ) molybdate microflake assemblies induced by amino acids

In this work, cerium(Ⅲ) molybdate microspheres configured as microflakes were synthesized in the presence of lysine via a hydrothermal process. We studied the role of lysine and other amino acids on the morphologic control of cerium(Ⅲ) molybdate crystals. First, with the increase of lysine, thinner microflakes and smaller microspheres are obtained. Moreover, a transformation in topology of cerium(Ⅲ) molybdate assemblies from three-dimensional(3D) into two-dimensional(2D) can be ascribed to controlled nucleation and growth of cerium(Ⅲ) molybdate induced by lysine. Second, amino acids with strong hydrophilic ‘‘R' groups tend to induce nucleation and result in spherical assemblies formed by nanoparticles or nanoflakes, while those with weaker hydrophilic ‘‘R' groups tend to induce growth and yield spherical assemblies of microflakes.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of an (N-Protected amino)-β-lactam Derivative of 1,5-Benzothiazepine

1 INTRODUCTION 1,5-Benzothiazepines are a kind of compounds which have important biological activitives[1, 2]. Cycloaddition reactions of their active C=N bond with ketene permit the construction of new -lactam ring. The -lactam moiety is the main part of the antibiotics such as penicillins. So the product of this reaction possesses two active centers and can be beneficial to pharmaceutical research. In this paper we have achieved the asymmetric ketene-imine cycloadditions employing the…     

Ternary mixed-ligand complexes of copper(II) with α-aminoalkylphosphonic acids and amino acids

Formation of ternary mixed-ligand complexes of copper (II) with 16 -amino acids and -aminophosphonic acids (APA) with a 111 ratio of initial concentrations has been studied by potentiometric titration at 25C and 0.1 M KC1 in aqueous solution. The complexes Cu_pA_nB_sH_q are formed in solution, where A and B are the deprotonated ligands. The stability of the mixed-ligand complexes (log ) increases and the equilibrium is displaced more towards their formation (log K) as the hydrophobic nature of the ligands increases.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 570–575, March, 1991.     

The structural characterization of some palladium (Ⅱ) complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline and amino acids by NMR spectroscopy

The complexes [Pd(phen)(aa)]Cl.3H2O, where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and aa is the anion of glycine (gly), .DL-alanine (ala), DL-serine (ser) or DL-asparagine (asn), were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopies. The NMR signals were assigned completely on the basis of the double irradiation, 1H-1H COSY and 1H-13C COSY techniques. In the 1H NMR spectra of phen in the complexes, the signals of 2-H and 9-H show upfield shifts 0.8-1 ppm, while the signals of 4-H and 3-H show downfield shifts or almost no shift, as compared to the free phen ligand, and the signal of 4-H appears in the lowest field. The signals of ring B which is trans to the carboxyl group show significant upfield shifts as compared to those of ring A. The probable structures were described on the basis of a metal-non-bonded hydrogen interaction, trons effect and ligand-ligand interaction. There may exist three conformation isomers in the [Pd(phen)(asn)]Cl.3H2O complex at room temperature. The preferred conformation isomer is about     

Copper(II)salen catalysed, asymmetric synthesis of α,α-disubstituted amino acids

Cu(salen) complex 1 was found to be a versatile catalyst for the asymmetric alkylation of a range of enolates derived from α-amino acids, leading to α,α-disubstituted amino acids. The enantioselectivity of the process decreases as the size of the amino acid sidechain increases, but functionalized amino acids such as allylglycine and aspartic acid are substrates for the process. Benzylic bromides are found to be more enantioselective alkylating agents than propargylic bromides. As an example of the utility of this chemistry, an α-propargylic allylglycine derivative is prepared and subjected to ene-yne metathesis using Grubbs' catalyst to give a non-racemic cyclopentenyl amino acid.     

Reactivity of the amino groups in 3,3′-diamino-4,4′-di(p-aminophenoxy)diphenylsuIfone

Reactivities of the amino groups in 3,3-diamino-4,4-di(p-aminophenoxy)diphenylsulfone were estimated by MO calculations using the Paryzer-Parr-Pople method, by potentiometric measurement of their pK _a values, and by the¹³C NMR spectroscopic study of the products obtained on reaction of the tetramine with two moles of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride. The results of these studies prove unambiguously the higher reactivity of the amino groups in positions 4 and 4 of the phenoxide moieties.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal and molecular structure of cyano(ethylenediamine) [Ethylenediamine-N,N′-Diacetato(1-)]Cobalt(III) Trichloromercurate(II) [Co(HEdda)En(CN)]HgCl3

An X-ray diffraction analysis of [Co(HEdda)En(CN)]HgCl₃ crystals (a = 6.664(4), b = 16.613(13), c = 16.684(7) å, space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4) showed that the crystals contain distorted tetrahedra HgCl₄ linked by one of their vertices into infinite chains [HgCl₃] _n ^n- . In isolated complex cations, three donor atoms of the HO₂CCH₂NHCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CO ₂ ^- (HEdda) ion occupy a face of the coordination octahedron around the cobalt atom; the opposite face is occupied by the cyanide ion and the nitrogen atoms of the ethylenediamine (En) molecule; the latter are in trans positions relative to the terminal donor atoms of the HEdda ligand.     

Coordination geometries and crystal structures of cadmium(II) complexes with a new amino alcohol (NN′O) ligand

The new ligand 2-(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylamino)cyclohexanol, (HEAC), was prepared under microwave conditions through ring opening of cyclohexene oxide with 2-(2-amino-ethylamino)ethanol. Its cadmium(II) complexes [Cd₂(HEAC)₂(μ-Cl)₂Cl₂] (1) and [Cd(HEAC)₂][CdI₄] (2) were identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, ¹H NMR spectroscopies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. HEAC formed 1?:?1 M?:?L complexes with cadmium chloride and cadmium iodide. Complex 1 crystallized as a dimer with two asymmetrically bound bridging Cl^? and a terminally coordinated Cl^? on each metal. The geometry around the cadmiums in 1 with four five-membered chelate rings and four Cl^? ligands is distorted octahedral for each Cd(II). The cyclohexanol OH of each ligand forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In 2, the coordination numbers for cadmium in [Cd(HEAC)₂]²⁺ and [CdI₄]^2? moieties are six and four, respectively. In [Cd(HEAC)₂]²⁺ each ligand coordinates through two N- and one O-donors, leading to a distorted octahedral geometry. The geometry of [CdI₄]^2? in 2 is slightly distorted tetrahedral. The protonation equilibrium constants of the two secondary amino groups in HEAC, determined by pH-potentiometry, were 6.26 and 9.26, respectively, at 25°C. Stability constants for this ligand with Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) (1?:?1 M?:?L), determined by glass-electrode potentiometry, were 7.13, 10.50, and 5.42, respectively.     

Facile rearrangement of N-(α-aminoacyl)cytidines to N-(4-cytidinyl)amino acid amides

Under near neutral and mildly basic conditions, primary N⁴-(α-aminoacyl)cytidines (4a-g) undergo a facile rearrangement to form N-(4-cytidinyl)amino acid amides (5a-g). Secondary aminoacyl derivatives rearrange with other competing pathways. Tertiary aminoacyl derivatives do not rearrange.     

A reappraisal of the Ni-[(Benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone complex in the synthesis of α,α-disubstituted amino acid derivatives

α,α-Disubstituted alkenyl amino acid derivatives (e.g. Fmoc-S₅-OH) are valuable monomers in the construction of stapled peptide derivatives. Synthetic access to these is possible using the Ni-[(Benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone (BPB) complex as a chiral auxiliary. We discuss a reappraisal of the use of this, and demonstrate that epimerisation of the proline α-centre occurs during formation of the complex, leading to erosion in the enantiomeric excess of the final product. Modified conditions have been developed, providing the target compounds in high enantiomeric excess.

Theoretical study on tetrazole and its derivatives (3) MP2 and thermodynamic calculations of amino derivatives of tetrazole

Fully optimized geometries and electronic structures of amino derivatives of tetrazole are obtained at MP2/6-31G* level. The tetrazole rings are planar and aromatic for all the amino derivatives of tetrazole. The amino group is not co-planar with the ring and its conformation is mainly determined by the lone pair electronic repulsion between the substituent and the ring. N(4) atom is more negatively charged and is the most probable coordination site. The energy gaps between LUMOs and HOMOs of 2H-aminotetrazoles and C-aminotetrazole neutrals are smaller than those of the corresponding 1H-isomers and N-aminotetrazole neutrals respectively. The IR frequencies, thermodynamic properties and temperature-dependent functions for heat capacities in the form (a bT cT2) in the 300-1000K range are reported.
