A new unusual natural pigment from Selaginella sinensis and its noticeable physicochemical properties

A new unusual pigment with a novel carbon framework named selaginellin (1) was isolated from the acetone extract of Selaginella sinensis, and its methoxy derivative (1a) was synthesized. Both selaginellin 1 and 1a are racemic compounds. The structure of selaginellin 1 was established as (R,S)-4-[(4'-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-3-((4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one and 1a as (R,S)-4-[(4'-methoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)-3-((4-methoxyphenyl)ethynyl)biphenyl-2-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one by the analysis of one- and two-dimensional NMR data, HR-ESIMS, EI-MS, IR, UV, CD, and single-crystal X-ray experiments, and the mechanism of their color change according to different pH values and fluorescent properties was studied.     

A novel colorimetric sensor of dihydrogen-phosphate based on metal complex between 8-hydroxy quinoline-5-azo-4'-nitrobenzene and cobalt

A novel colorimetric sensor based on 8-hydroxy quinoline-5-azo-4'-nitrobenzene (1) was prepared and used for recognizing anions. 1 and its metal complex (1.Co) were found to show response to anions such as CH(3)CO(2)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), HSO(4)(-), F(-) and dramatic color changes were observed. The selectivity and sensitivity of 1 and 1.Co for sensing anions were different, which was in the order of CH(3)CO(2)(-)>F(-)>H(2)PO(4)(-)>HSO(4)(-) for 1 and H(2)PO(4)(-)>HSO(4)(-)>CH(3)CO(2)(-) approximately F(-) for 1.Co, respectively. In CH(3)CN, sensor 1.Co exhibited excellent specificity toward H(2)PO(4)(-), and the color variety was dependent on the concentration of H(2)PO(4)(-) which was attributed to anion structure and stability of anionic complex (1-anion), metal complex (1-Co) and inorganic complex (Co-anion).     

Reactions of Pinacols with One-Electron Oxidants

Oxidation of the tetraarylpinacols (Ar(2)COH)(2), 1a-e, in which Ar = C(6)H(5) (1a), 4-ClC(6)H(4) (1b), 4-MeC(6)H(4) (1c), 4-MeOC(6)H(4) (1d) and 4-Me(2)NC(6)H(4) (1e), by thianthrene cation radical (Th(*+)) in CH(3)CN and in CH(2)Cl(2) led quantitatively to the corresponding diaryl ketones Ar(2)C=O (2a-e), provided a sufficient amount of base, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine (DTBMP), was present to prevent presumed acid-catalyzed rearrangement. In the case of 1e, continued oxidation of 2e was also observed. Oxidation of 1a by (4-BrC(6)H(4))(3)N(*+)SbCl(6)(-) and (4-BrC(6)H(4))(3)N(*+)SbF(6)(-) (Ar(3)N(*+)) occurred analogously. Evidence for the catalytic, cation-radical rearrangement of 1a by Ar(3)N(*+) (reported in earlier literature) and by Th(*+) could not be found. Quantitative oxidation of 1a to 2a and of 1d to 2d was obtained also with NOBF(4), again provided that sufficient DTBMP was present to prevent acid-catalyzed rearrangement. Catalytic, oxidative rearrangement of 1d at room temperature and (as reported in earlier literature) at -5 degrees C was not observed. Oxidation was also observed of 2,3-diphenyl-2,3-butanediol (3) to acetophenone (9) and of 1,1-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylethanediol (4) to 2a and acetone by Th(*+). Oxidation of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol (5) by Th(*+) was not observed. Instead, even in the presence of DTBMP, pinacolone (10) and tetramethyloxirane (11) were formed, through, it is proposed, a mechanism involving complexation with Th(*+).

Reactions and polymerization of 1-trityl-4-vinylimidazole

1-Trityl-4-vinylimidazole was prepared by direct tritylation of 4(5)-vinylimidazole and polymerized using a free radical initiator. Poly(1-trityl-4-vinylimidazole) was hydrolyzed using aqueous acetic acid to give poly[4(5)-vinylimidazole]. The poly[4(5)-vinylimidazole], which was obtained from the hydrolysis of poly(1-trityl-4-vinylimidazole), was compared with poly[4(5)-vinylimidazole] prepared directly from 4(5)-vinylimidazole for differences in stereochemistry. The stereochemistry of both polymers was found to be similar by high-resolution NMR. Thus, the trityl does not influence the stereochemistry of poly[4(5)-vinylimidazole]. The reaction of 1-trityl-4-vinylimidazole with n-butyllithium gave 2-lithio-1-trityl-4-vinylimidazole. This intermediate was used to prepare 2-substituted 4(5)-vinylimidazoles, which are new monomers that can be polymerized using free radical initiators.     

四氟乙烯齐聚体的反应 III: 四氟乙烯四聚体与脂族胺以及烷氧亲核试剂的反应

3, 4-Bis (trifluoromethyl)-perfluorohexene-(3) (1) reacted with diethylamine to give the 1-N, N-diethylamino-2-pentafluoroethyl -3-trifluoromethyl-perfluoropentene-(1)(2), which was easily hydrolyzed to the corresponding N, N-diethyl-2-penta-fluoroethyl- 3-trifluoromethyl-perfluoropenteno-(2)-amide (3). When compound 1 was allowed to react with n-butyl amine at 40-50`C, the 2,3,4-tris(trifluoromethyl)-4-pentafluoroethyl-1-n-butyl-aza- cyclobutene-(2) (5) was obtained as the main product and at-30-40`C, 3,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-n-butylamino-perfluorohexene-(2) (4) as the main product. The isomers 3, 4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-allyloxy-perfluoro-hexen-(2) (6) and 2-pentafluoroethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-3-allyloxy-perfluoropentene-(1)(7) were formed when 1 was reacted with sodium allyl alcoholate.     

Preparation of 1-Trifluoroethyl-4-methoxy-5-chloropyridazin-6-one: Methyl Shift of 4-Methoxy-5-chloropyridazin-6-one

N1-Trifluoroethyl-4-methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (4) was synthesized by the substitution reaction of 4methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (1) with trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (A) at basic condition. In the most of reaction conditions, N1-methyl-4-methoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (2) was obtained as a major by-product, which means that the methyl group in the 4-methoxy shifted to N-1 position inter-molecularly aided by A or trifluoroethyl methanesulfonate (B). We obtained N1-methyl-4-trifluoro-ethoxy-5-chloro-3-pyridazone (3) in the reaction of 1 with B at higher temperature in different solvents with different yield (Table 1 ), which mechanism was shown in Figure 1. When we tried to synthesize 4 in the reaction of 1 with trifluoroethyl toluenesulfonate under basic condition, 6 was obtained (Figure 2). All the detailed mechanisms are undergoing investigated.

We report a dynamic polymerization system based on the reversible nucleophilic Michael polyaddition of activated alkynes and dithiols. Four poly(dithioacetal)s(P1-P4) were prepared via the base-catalyzed thiol-yne "click" polyaddition of two dithiols(1,4-butanedithiol(4 S) and 1,5-pentanedithiol(5 S)) and two alkynones(3-butyn-2-one(Y1) and 1-phenyl-2-propyn-1-one(Y2)) at high concentrations. We systematically investigated the base-catalyzed polymerization of 4 S and Y1(for polymer P1) under dif...     

Regioselective alkylation of 2-alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3h-cycloheptimidazol-4-ones and 2-alkyl-3h-cycloheptimidazol-4-ones

Regioselective alkylation of 2-alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (1) and 2-alkyl-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (2) was investigated. 3-[2'-(1-tert-Butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-2-propyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (6) was preferentially obtained under the conditions by using NaH in DMF or THF. On the other hand, 3-[2'-(1-tert-butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-2-propyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-cycloheptimidazol-4-one (5), the synthetic intermediate compound of Pratosartan, was obtained selectively in the presence of n-Bu(4)NBr in toluene by using aqueous sodium hydroxide as a base. In this reaction, it was found that the concentration of the alkaline solution influences its regioselectivity. This selectivity was observed even for aldehyde and ester derivatives.

Intercalating nucleic acids (INAs) with insertion of N-(pyren-1-ylmethyl)-(3R,4R)-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol. DNA (RNA) duplex and DNA three-way junction stabilities

N-(Pyren-1-ylmethyl)-(3R,4R)-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol was synthesised from (3R,4R)-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol and (3R,4S)-4-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl] pyrrolidin-3-ol using alkylation with 1-(chloromethyl)pyrene or reductive amination with pyrene-1-carbaldehyde and NaCNBH3. The incorporation of N-(pyren-1-ylmethyl)azasugar moiety into oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) as a bulge to form an intercalating nucleic acid (INA) induced a slight destabilization of INA-DNA duplex, whereas the INA-RNA duplex was strongly destabilized and 9 degrees C difference per modification in thermal stability between INA-DNA over INA-RNA duplexes was observed. The stabilization of a DNA three way junction (TWJ) was improved when the intercalator moiety was inserted into the junction region as a bulge.     

New C21 steroidal glycosides from the roots of Cynanchum stauntonii and their protective effects on hypoxia/reoxygenation induced cardiomyocyte injury

Phytochemical investigations from the roots of Cynanchum stauntonii led to obtain four new C_(21) steroidal glycosides(1–4) and one known compound stauntoside F(5). Their chemical structures were characterized by sophisticated analyses of IR, HRESI-TOF-MS, 1D, and 2D-NMR data, together with chemical methods, which showed interesting 13,14:14,15-disecopregnane-type skeleton or 14,15-secopregnane-type skeleton C_(21) steroidal glycosides. Among them, compound 1 was determined to be glaucogenin C 3-O-b-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-thevetopyranoside. Compound 2 was characterized to be hirundigenin 3-O-a-L-diginopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-30-demethyl-thevetopyranoside. Compound 3 was identified to be(14S,16 S,20R)-14,16-14,20-15,20-triepoxy-14,15-secopregn-5-en-3-ol-3-O-a-L-cymaropyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-oleandropyranoside.Compound 4 was identified to be(14S,16 S,20R)-14,16-14,20-15,20-triepoxy-14,15-secopregn-5-en-3-ol-3-O-a-L-cymaropyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-b-Dthevetopyranoside. Among them, compound 2 was hirundigenin type C21 steroidal glycoside that existed in nature as epimers due to the presence of 14-hemiketal hydroxyl group in its structure. In addition, the anti-inflammatory and cardiomyocyte protective effects of compounds 1–4 were evaluated. We found that they exhibited significant protective effects on hypoxia/reoxygenation induced cardiomyocyte injury, but did not showed obvious anti-inflammatory function.     

Gelation and its relevance to the function of polysaccharides

(1→4)-α- and (1→4)-β-D-linked glucosidic oligosaccharide chains were generated by the Monte Carlo method, and the scattering from the systems composed of simulated chains was calculated to compare with the results of small-angle X-ray scattering from the oligosaccharides in aqueous solution. By extending the simulation to a longer chain, a single chain conformation of (1→4)-α- and (1→4)-β-D-linked polysaccharides was evaluated. On the basis of the simulation, the suprastructure of (1→4)-α- and (1→4)-β-D-linked polysaccharides and their gel formation mechanism were discussed in some detail by analyzing the small-angle X-ray scattering from the aqueous solutions of (1→4)-α- and (1→4)-β-D-linked polysaccharides.
