Non-Racemic Mixtures of 1,3,2-Oxazaphosphacyclanes - Enantiomeric Composition Determination by NMR

Abstract

The enantiomeric ratio in non-racemic mixtures of 2-anilino-2-oxo-1,3,2-oxazaphospho-rinane (I) and 3-(α-rnethylbenzyl)-(I)¹ enantiomers was determined by measurement of the integral intensity ratio of two ³¹P-NMR signals, assigned to enantiomers and differentiated due to the effect of statistically controlled associate-diastereoisomerim (scada), ² when association occurs under conditions of fast exchange.     

Synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetra[6' -nitro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro- (indolino-2,2' -2H-chromen-5-yl)]porphyrin and its metal complexes

A new 5,10,15,20-tetrasubstituted porphyrin containing four 6’-nitro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro(indolino-2,2’-2H-chromene) substituents and its complexes with Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions were prepared and characterized by physicochemical methods of analysis.     

A layer potential analysis for transmission problems for Brinkman‐type systems in Lipschitz domains in

The aim of this paper is to establish a well‐posedness result for a boundary value problem of transmission‐type for the standard and generalized Brinkman systems in two Lipschitz domains in , the former being bounded, and the latter, its complement in . As a first step, we establish a well‐posedness result for a transmission problem for the standard Brinkman systems on complementary Lipschitz domains in by making use of the Potential theory developed for such a system. As a second step, we prove our desired result (in L²‐based Sobolev spaces) by using a method based on Fredholm operator theory and the well‐posedness result from the previous step.

A Facile Method for the Separation of Methionine Sulfoxide Diastereomers,Structural Assignment,and DFT Analysis

Methionine (Met) oxidation is an important biological redox node, with hundreds if not thousands of protein targets. The process yields methionine oxide (MetO). It renders the sulfur chiral, producing two distinct, diastereomerically related products. Despite the biological significance of Met oxidation, a reliable protocol to separate the resultant MetO diastereomers is currently lacking. This hampers our ability to make peptides and proteins that contain stereochemically defined MetO to then study their structural and functional properties. We have developed a facile method that uses supercritical CO₂ chromatography and allows obtaining both diastereomers in purities exceeding 99 %. ¹H NMR spectra were correlated with X-ray structural information. The stereochemical interconversion barrier at sulfur was calculated as 45.2 kcal mol⁻¹, highlighting the remarkable stereochemical stability of MetO sulfur chirality. Our protocol should open the road to synthesis and study of a wide variety of stereochemically defined MetO-containing proteins and peptides.     

Different spectrophotometric methods for antioxidant activity assay of four Romanian herbs

The present study investigates the antioxidant activities of some Romanian plants, using different spectrophotometric methods (FRAP I, FRAP II, and CUPRAC). The plants investigated are hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha), bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), rosehip (Rosa canina), and chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa). Hawthorn is used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, but the primary use is generally restricted for treating hypertension, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia. Investigations have proved the safe and reliable use of plant and plant extracts for treatment of cardiovascular disorders.     

Controlled ring‐opening homo‐ and copolymerization of ɛ‐caprolactone and d,l‐lactide by iminophenolate aluminum complexes: An efficient approach toward well‐defined macromonomers

The aluminum complexes containing two iminophenolate ligands of the type (p‐XC₆H₄NCHC₆H₄O‐o)₂AlR' (R′=Me ( 3, 4 ) or R′=O(CH₂)₄OCH=CH₂ ( 5, 6 ), X=H ( 3, 5 ), F( 4, 6 )) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystallography. The reaction of AlMe₃ with two equivalents of substituted iminophenols gave five‐coordinated {ONR}₂AlMe ( 3, 4 ) complexes. Subsequent reaction of these methyl complexes with unsaturated alcohol, HO(CH₂)₄OCH=CH₂, resulted in target compounds 5 and 6 in a good yield. It was shown that the complexes ( 3 ‐ 6 ) are monomeric in solution (NMR) and in solid state (X‐ray analysis). The catalytic activity of the complexes 5 and 6 towards ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of ?‐caprolactone and d,l ‐lactide was assessed. Complex 5 showed higher activity as compared with 6 , while both of these catalysts induced controlled homo‐ and copolymerization to afford the macromonomers with high content of vinyl ether end groups (F_n > 80%) in a broad range of molecular weights (M_n = 4000–30,000 g mol^?1) with relatively narrow MWD (M_w/M_n = 1.1–1.5). © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
