测定手性有机酸对映体纯度的新试剂

用NMR技术测定微量手性化合物的对映体纯度,已有多种方法。其中,加手性镧化物位移试剂法适用面最广,但对有机酸,结果常不理想。另一种使用较广的方法是加手性试剂,将样品中两对映体转变成非对映异构体,然后比较非对映基因NMR信号的强度,确定原样品中对映体的组成比例。国外已出售的手性试     

Low energy,variable angle electron-impact excitation of 1,3,5-hexatriene

A mixture of cis and trans 1,3,5-hexatriene has been studied by electron impact at incident electron energies of 20 eV, 40 eV, 50 eV, and 70 eV, at scattering angles from 0° to 80°, and with effective energy resolutions in the range from 0.05 eV to 0.15 eV. Singlet → triplet transitions with maximum intensities at 2.61 eV and 4.11 eV are observed. The lowest energy spin-allowed excitation which can be detected is the electric dipole-allowed $\text{X}$¹ A_g → 1 ¹B_u transition (in the notation appropriate for the trans isomer). No evidence has been found for a spin-allowed but symmetry-forbidden $\text{X}$¹ A_g → 2 ¹A_g excitation in the vicinity of 4.4 eV transition energy. Many other spin-allowed excitations are observed in the 6–11 eV energy-loss region, and the correlation between these features and those observed in high resolution ultraviolet absorption spectra and other electron-impact spectra is discussed.     

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution with the anion of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazole-4-carboxylic acids

The preparation of the anion of a series of protected 3,5-disubstituted 4-isoxazolecarboxylic acids and the resulting addition of the anion to 9-chloroacridine is described. The addition-elimination reaction proceeds to give the expected acridinylmethylisoxazoles and has been justified based on calculated molecular mechanics energies and solvent effects.     

Inhibition of blood coagulation factor XIIIa-mediated cross-linking between fibronectin and collagen by polyamines

Soluble fibronectin is found in body fluids and media of cultured adherent cells. Insoluble fibronectin is found in tissue stroma and in extracellular matrices of cultured cells. Fibronectin is a substrate for factor XIIIa (plasma transglutaminase) and can be cross-linked to collagen and to the alpha chain of fibrin. We have used sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to investigate the possibility that factor XIIIa-mediated cross-linking is influenced by polyamines. Spermidine inhibited cross-linking between fibronectin and type I collagen, isolated alpha 1 (I) collagen chains, or iodinated cyanogen bromide fragment 7 of alpha 1 (I) chains (125I-alpha 1 (I)-CB7). Half-maximal inhibition of cross-linking between 125I-alpha (I)-CB7 and fibronectin was observed when 0.1 mM spermine or spermidine was present. Spermidine, 0.7 mM, partially inhibited cross-linking between fibronectin and the alpha chain of fibrin but failed to inhibit cross-linking between the fibrin monomers of a fibrin clot. Spermidine also failed to inhibit cross-linking between fibronectin molecules when aggregation of fibronectin was induced with dithiothreitol. In contrast, 0.7 mM monodanyslcadaverine inhibited fibronectin-collagen, fibronectin-fibrin, fibronectin-fibronectin, and fibrin-fibrin cross-linking. Spermidine or spermine, 0.7 mM, enhanced the cross-linking between molecules of partially amidinated fibronectin, suggesting that N1,8-(di-gamma-glutamyl)-polyamine cross-linkages were formed. Spermidine and spermine failed to enhance cross-linking between monomers of amidinated fibrin. These results indicate that physiologic concentrations of polyamines specifically disturb transglutaminase-catalyzed cross-linking between fibronectin and collagen.     

1,4-Di-[2-phenyl-1-diazenyl]perhydro-1,4-diazepine: X-ray crystal structure

1,4-Di-[2-phenyl-1-diazenyl]perhydro-1,4-diazepine (1) has been synthesized by reaction of benzenediazonium chloride with homopiperazine (perhydro-1,4-diazepine). The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) adopts an extended conformation which precludes any close intramolecular interaction of the phenyl rings. The heterocyclic seven-membered ring adopts a chair conformation, with the triazene side chains occupying alternate axial and equatorial positions consistent with cis-geometry. Internal torsion angles of the seven-membered ring have been measured. The crystal packing is determined by short contacts between C=H groups of phenyl rings and nitrogens of triazene moieties and by van der Waals interactions, with no evidence for intermolecular – interactions. This work establishes the structure of the product of diazonium coupling with homopiperazine as 1,4-di[(E)-2-phenyl-1-diazenyl]perhydro-1,4-diazepine.

High-resolution electrophoretic simulations: performance characteristics of one-dimensional simulators

Three comprehensive one-dimensional simulators were used on the same PC to simulate the dynamics of different electrophoretic configurations, including two migrating hybrid boundaries, an isotachophoretic boundary and the zone electrophoretic separation of ten monovalent anions. Two simulators, SIMUL5 and GENTRANS, use a uniform grid, while SPRESSO uses a dynamic adaptive grid. The simulators differ in the way components are handled. SIMUL5 and SPRESSO feature one equation for all components, whereas GENTRANS is based on the use of separate modules for the different types of monovalent components, a module for multivalent components and a module for proteins. The code for multivalent components is executed more slowly compared to those for monovalent components. Furthermore, with SIMUL5, the computational time interval becomes smaller when it is operated with a reduced calculation space that features moving borders, whereas GENTRANS offers the possibility of using data smoothing (removal of negative concentrations), which can avoid numerical oscillations and speed up a simulation. SPRESSO with its adaptive grid could be employed to simulate the same configurations with smaller numbers of grid points and thus is faster in certain but not all cases. The data reveal that simulations featuring a large number of monovalent components distributed such that a high mesh is required throughout a large proportion of the column are fastest executed with GENTRANS.
