On the correlation of implantation defects and implanted species

Using high-sensitive deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), we have determined ion-related defects in monocrystalline silicon in the asimplanted state. In comparison with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) data and neutron depth profiling (NDP) results it is demonstrated that the defect profiles and the chemical distributions have nearly identical shape. From these experimental facts it can be concluded that this electrical spectroscopy can be applied for the detection of very low concentrations (down to 10¹⁰ cm^–3) of implanted ion species.     

Additionsreaktionen von 3-Dimethylamino-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin an Isothiocyanate

Addition Reactions of 3-Dimethylamino-2, 2-dimethyl- 2 H-azirine and Isothiocyanates. The title azirine readily reacts with two molecules of benzyl- or methylisothiocyanate to form the zwitterionic 1:2 addition compounds 4 and 13 , respectively (Scheme 2). The presumed 1:1 addition products, which are intermediates in the formation of 4 and 13 , cannot be detected. The structure of 4 and 13 follows from their spectroscopic and chemical properties. With water they give the thiourea derivates 5 and 14 , respectively; treatment with aqueous acid leads to the Δ²-1, 3-thiazolin-5-on-derivates 7 and 15 , respectively. With sodium borohydride compounds 8 and 16 , respectively, are obtained (Scheme 2). The zwitterionic compounds 4 and 13 are able to react further with one molecule of the isothiocyanates to give, in high-yield, triazines 9 and 18 , respectively (Scheme 3). The structure of these compounds was again derived from their spectroscopic data. The mechanism for the formation of 9 and 18 is given in Scheme 3. Acid catalysed hydrolysis of 9 and 18 lead to the trithiocyanuric acid derivates 12 and 20 , and to the spiro compounds 11 and 19 , respectively (Sceme 6). Reaction of 4 with one molecule of phenylisocyanate gives triazine 10 (Scheme 5). According to the X-ray analysis of the methyl compound 18 , there are strong steric interactions in this molecule which are due to the side chain. This is demonstrated by the small distances between C(2) … C(13), N(7) … C(11), and C(8) … C(11) (Table 4). These steric interactions, in addition, cause widening of the bond angles N(1)? C(2)? N(7) and C(9)? N(10)? C(11) (Fig.2). Furthermore, the triazine ring is no longer planar. This deformation of the ring diminishes repulsion between the methyl groups C(13) and C(15).     

Sequence Analysis of Polypeptides and Proteins by Combined Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

A new method for determining the amino acid sequence of polypeptides consists in initial partial hydrolysis to yield a complex mixture of oligopeptides. After derivatization to enhance its volatility, the mixture is analyzed by combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The sequence of the polypeptide is established by a computer from the identified oligopeptides. So far polypeptides having up to 40 amino acids have been analyzed by this method. The advantages and disadvantages of the new method compared with the stepwise procedure of the Edman degradation are considered. Since the two methods are based on fundamentally different principles they may prove to be complementary.     

Novel urea-linked cinchona-calixarene hybrid-type receptors for efficient chromatographic enantiomer separation of carbamate-protected cyclic amino acids

Two novel diastereomeric cinchona-calixarene hybrid-type receptors (SOs) were synthesized by inter-linking 9-amino(9-deoxy)-quinine (AQN)/9-amino(9-deoxy)-epiquinine (eAQN) and a calix[4]arene scaffold via an urea functional unit. Silica-supported chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from these SOs revealed, for N-protected amino acids, complementary chiral recognition profiles in terms of elution order and substrate specificity. The AQN-derived CSP showed narrow-scoped enantioselectivity for open-chained amino acids bearing pi-acidic aromatic protecting groups, preferentially binding the (S)-enantiomers. In contrast, the eAQN congener exhibited broad chiral recognition capacity for open-chained as well as cyclic amino acids, and preferential binding of the (R)-enantiomers. Exceedingly strong retention due to nonenantioselective hydrophobic analyte-calixarene interactions observed with hydro-organic mobile phases could be largely suppressed with organic mobile phases containing small amounts of acetic acid as acidic modifier. With the eAQN-calixarene hybrid-type CSP particularly high levels of enantioselectivity could be achieved for tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-, benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)- and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected cyclic amino acids using chloroform as mobile phase, e.g. an enantioselectivty factor alpha >5.0 for Boc-proline. Increasing amounts of acetic acid compromised enantioselectivity, indicating the crucial contributions of hydrogen bonding to chiral recognition. Comparison of the performance characteristics of the urea-linked eAQN-calixarene hybrid-type CSP with those of structurally closely related mutants provided evidence for the active involvement of the urea and calixarene units in the chiral recognition process. The urea linker motif was shown to contribute to analyte binding via multiple hydrogen bonding interactions, while the calixarene module is believed to support stereodiscrimination by enhancing the shape complementarity of the SO binding site.

Über den Einfluss des Donor-Teilchromophors bei Dimethinmerocyanin-Farbstoffen auf das Aggregationsverhalten in wässriger Lösung

On the Influence of the Donor Part of the Chromophor of Dimethinmerocyanine Dyes upon the Aggregation Tendency in Aqueous Solution A series of novel long-chain alkyl-dimethinmerocyanine dyes containing the (rhodaninyl)benzenesulfonate or (cyanoacetoxy)alkanesulfonate group is synthesized in good yield and their aggregation tendency in H₂O and/or in various organic solvents/H₂O mixtures without addition of salt investigated. Except for the merocyanine 2h , all dyes give J-aggregation in H₂O or in organic solvents containing H₂O. The Lambert-Beer rule is proved for the solution of 3a (4) in H₂O. The degree of aggregation of 3a (4) in H₂O is investigated by ultracentrifugation. The kind of the aggregation (J- or H-type) can be found out very quickly by dissolving the dye in H₂O with the help of ultra-sound.     

Structural determination of a recalcitrant molecule (S2F4)

The structure determination of S₂F₄ (or SF₃SF), the dimer of SF₂, is made difficult by the large variety of possible conformers and the instability of the compound. An electron diffraction and microwave study succeeded only with the help of a molecular model derived from ab initio calculations, after initial experimental attempts had failed. The force field required for a joint electron diffraction and microwave spectroscopy analysis was calculated by ab initio methods and adjusted to the experimental vibrational frequencies. The structure of S₂F₄ is a trigonal bipyramid with the electron lone pair, the SF group and one fluorine atom in equatorial positions. The SF₃ group is strongly distorted with the two axial SF bonds differing by 0.10 Å and bond angles between axial bonds and equatorial plane of about 77° and 92°, respectively. The geometric structure of S₂F₄ in combination with the ab initio calculations allows one to visualize the dissociation process SF₃SF → 2 SF₂ more clearly.     

Thermische und photochemisch induzierte intramolekulare, 1,3-dipolare Cycloadditionen von 4-Phenyl-3-(2-allylphenyl)-sydnon. Vorläufige Mitteilung. 53. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Thermal and photochemically induced intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 4-phenyl-3-(2-allylphenyl)-sydnone The title compound 9 was synthesised in the usual way, starting from 2-allylaniline and ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate, via the nitrosaminacid 8 (Scheme 2). 9 reacts at room temperature with its potential azomethinimine-function in an intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition to give the tricyclic compound 11 (Scheme 2). On irradiation, 9 yields the dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[2,3-a]indole 10 which probably arises by intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition of the corresponding intermediate nitrilimine.     

Ringöffnungen von sterisch gehinderten spirocyclischen 2, 5-Dihydro-1, 3, 4-thiadiazolen mit cycloaliphatischen,sekundären Aminen

Ring Opening of Sterically Crowded Spirocyclic 2, 5-Dihydro-l, 3, 4-thiadiazoles by Cycloaliphatic Secondary Amines At room temperature, the spirocyclic 2, 5-dihydro-l, 3, 4-thiadiazole 3 reacted with cyclic secondary amines 6 via ring opening to give N-alkylidene-hydrazones of type 7 (Scheme 2). A reaction mechanism via a base-catalyzed transformation of the dihydrothiadiazole ring to the corresponding thiolate 19 and the intermediate thioaldehyde 21 is proposed in Scheme 6. An analogous reaction occurred with the mixture of the dispiro compounds 4/5 and morpholine ( 6a ) or azetidine ( 6d ), leading to a mixture of isomeric dihydrazones 8 and 9 (Scheme 3). The structure of the symmetrical isomer 8a was established by X-ray crystallography. In addition to 8a and 9a , the thiirane lOa (Scheme 3) was isolated as a minor product.     

Synthesis of Modified Tripeptides and Tetrapeptides as potential bisubstrate inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinase

The synthesis of a series of bisubstrate inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor protein kinase (EGF-R PTK) consisting of small pep tides linked covalently to adenosine via appropriate triphosphate substitutes is described. Boc-Glu(O^tBu)-Tyr-Leu-OBzl ( 5 ) and Ac-Glu(O^tBu)-Tyr-Leu-Arg(Pmc)-NH₂ ( 8 ; Pmc = 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulfonyl) were prepared by standard peptide chemistry, (Scheme 1), then modified at the OH group of tyrosine either with adipic anhydride or with 4-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoic acid, 4-(chlorosulfonyl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, or benzene-1,4-disulfonyldichloride (Scheme 2), and finally coupled with the 5′-OH group of 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneadenosine (Scheme 3). In addition, N⁶-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-adenosine 5′-(hydrogenhexanedioate) ( 26 ), an ATP substitute, was coupled with the morpholide of 5 (Scheme 4). Removal of the protecting groups gave the bisubstrate analogs 23, 24 , and 28. The compounds synthesized were tested as inhibitors of the EGF-R PTK. The most active bisubstrate-type inhibitor was 24 , composed of the tripeptide sequence H-Glu-Tyr-Leu-OBzl, the 2-hydroxy-4-sulfonylbenzoyl moiety, and adenosine; it showed an IC₅₀ value of 33 μM.
