The High-Anti Conformation of 7-Halogenated 8-Aza-7-deaza-2′-deoxy-guanosines: A Study of the Influence of Modified Bases on the Sugar Structure of Nucleosides

The conformation of the 7-bromo- and 7-iodo-substituted 8-aza-7-deazapurine nucleosides 1 and 2 in the solid state and in aqueous solution was studied by single-crystal X-ray analyses and by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, both compounds display a high-anti conformation around the glycosylic bond, and their 2′-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranose moieties adopt an N-type sugar puckering. The orientation of the exocyclic C(4′)−C(5′) bond was found to be ap in both cases. In D₂O solution, both compounds display i) an 8 – 10% higher N-conformer population than 2′-deoxyguanosine and ii) a preference of the −sc conformation about the C(4′)−C(5′) bond. A comparative study on the influence of modified bases on the sugar structure of nucleosides is made.

Evaluation of the 'antioxidant power' of olive oils based on a FIA system with amperometric detection

A new method for the evaluation of the 'total antioxidant power' of olive oils, based on a flow injection analysis system with electrochemical detection, is described. It represents a attractive alternative to the mostly used Rancimat method since it is based on the chemical structure of antioxidants and does not require the manipulation of several parameters, such as temperature and oxygen pressure, to accelerate oil oxidation. The proposed procedure is simple, rapid, allows a throughput of 90 samples h-1 and provides a good precision: an RSD of 3.5% was obtained for caffeic acid at the concentration level of 5 mg L-1 (n = 12). A comparison of the proposed was obtained for caffeic acid at the concentration level of 5 mg L-1 (n = 12). A comparison of the proposed procedure with two other methods (Rancimat method and ABTS.+ decoloration assay) was performed to investigate the applicability and limitations of the proposed method.     

Thermodynamics of alcohols and monosaccharides in aqueous solutions of thiourea at 25°C

The excess enthalpies of twelve ternary aqueous solutions of alcohols or monosaccharides containing thiourea have been determined by flow microcalorimetry at 25°C. The coefficients of the virial expansion of the excess enthalpies are compared with those reported in the literature for the same ternary solutions containing urea in place of thiourea. The cross-interaction coefficients are positive for the thiourea-alcohol systems and depend on the length and branching of the alkyl chain of the alcohols. On the other hand, they are negative for the thiourea-monosaccharide systems. Thus, thiourea, as urea, can be used as a probe to reveal differences in the behavior of families of solutes characterized by the same functional groups. The results can be interpreted in terms of the relative stabilities of hydration cospheres of hydrophobic or hydrophilic solutes toward a chaotropic agent such as thiourea.Presented at the sixth Italian meeting on Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AICAT) held in Naples, December 4–7, 1984.     

Mass spectrometry of heterocyclic compounds—III. Electron-impact-induced fragmentation of 1,2-benzisothiazole and some 3-substituted derivatives

The mass spectra of fifteen 1,2-benzisothiazoles are reported; their fragmentation patterns have been investigated by labelling experiments, high resolution mass measurements and defocused metastable ion detection. The parent compound of the series, 1,2-benzisothiazole, eliminates HCN after partial inter-ring hydrogen scrambling. The extent of scrambling has been determined for normal daughter ions produced at different electron beam energies and also for metastable daughter ions, and is compared with the data reported for benzothiazole. Some 3-substituted derivatives show unusual fragmentation patterns. The mechanisms of these processes are under further investigation.     

Partial least-squares modelling of dye fastness to light

Several physicochemical properties (¹³C-n.m.r., spectrophotometric, chromatographic, calorimetric) were measured for a series of 38 azo dyes in order to test the existence of relationships between one or more of these data sets and the fastness of the dyes on polyester fabric. The partial least-squares method was applied; it had previously proved useful in establishing structure/property relationships for the same dyes. It is shown that ¹³C-n.m.r. data can be used successfully to predict dye fastness to light. These data are quickly and cheaply obtained with small amounts of compound.
