Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular cyclocarbonylation of diethyl (2-iodoaryl)malonates with N-tosylimines produces 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones in moderate to good yields. This reaction is highly stereoselective. This protocol involves Mannich addition, and subsequent cyclocarbonylation. 相似文献
Insider dealing : Self‐assembled hosts applied as “molecular flasks” can alter and control the reactivity and properties of molecules encapsulated within their well‐defined, confined spaces. A variety of functional hosts of differing sizes, shapes, and utility have been prepared by using the facile and modular concepts of self‐assembly.
Let k,n be integers with 2≤k≤n, and let G be a graph of order n. We prove that if max{dG(x),dG(y)}≥(n−k+1)/2 for any x,y∈V(G) with x≠y and xy∉E(G), then G has k vertex-disjoint subgraphs H1,…,Hk such that V(H1)∪?∪V(Hk)=V(G) and Hi is a cycle or K1 or K2 for each 1≤i≤k, unless k=2 and G=C5, or k=3 and G=K1∪C5. 相似文献
For the development of biofunctional carbon nanotubes for biosensors, drug carriers, and nanobiocatalysts, their aggregation and biofouling in aqueous solutions are crucial problems because this behavior leads to a reduction of their excellent optical and electrical properties and nanoscale size effects. This paper presents a new method for enhancing the dispersibility of protein–carbon nanotube conjugates and for exfoliating the protein from the carbon nanotube sidewalls through controlling the concentration of guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn ? HCl) in the solution. In medium concentrations (2–3 M ) of Gdn ? HCl, the dispersibility of protein–carbon nanotube conjugates was found to be substantially increased without denaturation or aggregation of the proteins. At higher concentrations (>6 M ) of Gdn ? HCl, pristine carbon nanotubes were precipitated instantly as a result of dissociation of the protein. These phenomena indicate that Gdn ? HCl functions not only as a dispersion adjuvant for biofunctional protein–carbon nanotube conjugates, but also as a cleaning agent for the purification of biofouled carbon nanotubes. The dissociation concentrations of Gdn ? HCl were higher than the midpoint of protein denaturation, suggesting that protein adsorption on carbon nanotubes is more stable than protein folding toward Gdn ? HCl. 相似文献
To design a suitable periodontal disease formulation using basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), legally available thickeners were evaluated focusing on their viscosity, extrusive force from a syringe, flow property and inertness to bFGF. Thirteen candidate thickeners showed appropriate viscosity (about 1×10? mPa·s), and further evaluations were conducted on them. Flow property was evaluated by the tilting test tube method. As a result, most thickener solutions with the optimum viscosity showed appropriate flow time (about 100 s) and the flow time did not depend on thickener concentration, whereas the extrusive force from a syringe depended on thickener concentration despite the thickener type and grade. Thickener solutions of 2-3% showed ideal result (10-20 N) and thickener solutions prepared outside of the concentration range (2-3%) were found to show unsuitable extrusive force. Consequently, to obtain required properties for a dental drug formulation, thickener solutions needed to show adequate viscosity (about 1×10? mPa·s) at 2-3% thickener concentration. In addition, several types of cellulose derivatives showed inertness to the bFGF because of their structure, without strong ionic dissociable groups, and neutral pH. Overall, the present work demonstrates that some water-soluble cellulose derivatives, such as hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), were suggested to have required properties for a dental drug formulation including bFGF. 相似文献
Novel water-soluble Cp*Ir-ammine complexes have been synthesized, and a new and highly atom-economical system for the synthesis of organic amines using aqueous ammonia as a nitrogen source has been developed. With a water-soluble and air-stable Cp*Ir-ammine catalyst, [Cp*Ir(NH(3))(3)][I](2), a variety of tertiary and secondary amines were synthesized by the multialkylation of aqueous ammonia with theoretical equivalents of primary and secondary alcohols. The catalyst could be recycled by a facile procedure maintaining high activity. A one-flask synthesis of quinolizidine starting with 1,5,9-nonanetriol was also demonstrated. This new catalytic system would provide a practical and environmentally benign methodology for the synthesis of various organic amines. 相似文献
Perfectly monodisperse DNA nanoparticles were prepared via the self-assembly of 12 Pd(II) ions and 24 bidentate ligands functionalized with oligonucleotides of varying length (n = 1-3). The DNA nanoparticles formed hydrogen bonds with cDNA strands and an insoluble aggregate formed only with matching trimeric nucleotide strands (tri-A). 相似文献
A new and facile method for the preparation of 2‐substituted 2,3‐dihydro‐3,3‐dimethyl‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐ones 3 and 3,3‐disubstituted (E)‐1‐(arylimino)‐1,3‐dihydroisobenzofurans 6 has been developed. Thus, treatment of N‐alkyl(or aryl)‐2‐(1‐methylethen‐1‐yl)benzamides 2 with concentrated hydriodic acid (HI) in MeCN at room temperature afforded 3 . Similar treatment of N‐aryl‐2‐(1‐phenylethen‐1‐yl)benzamide 5 with concentrated HI at 0° afforded 6 . 相似文献
