Pyryliumverbindungen—XII: Synthesen und eigenschaften von 1,2-benzoxalenen (indeno[2,1-b]pyranen)

Pseudoazulenes of the 1,2-benzoxalene type C (indeno[2,1-b]pyranes) are accessible by two new ways: The title compounds 1–10 were synthesized by acid catalysed cyclodeamination of ketovinylated 2-piperidinoindenes F, the compounds 13–36 by deprotonation of 9H-indeno[2,1-b]pyrylium salts L obtained from indan-2-ones and β-diketones. The aromatic nature of the pseudoazulene system is described in terms of various physical and theoretical results (electronic spectra, resonance energies, HMO calculations).

Coupling of narrow-bore liquid chromatography to thin-layer chromatography : Part I. Interfacing

The coupling of liquid chromatography (l.c.) on narrow-bore columns to thin-layer chromatography (t.l.c.) is described. The effluent from a l.c. column can be deposited on a t.l.c. plate after a normal-phase or reversed-phase separation without serious loss of chromatographic information. Both silica and alkyl-modified silica plates can be used for storage. The interface is a fused silica capillary which connects the column outlet to the spray jet assembly of a Linomat applicator for t.l.c. The stored chromatogram can serve as starting point for a new separation, but also allows the use of detection principles which are normally not compatible with l.c. The chromatography of some polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is used to illustrate the possibilities of the combinations.     

Multi-step polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) library synthesis of functionalized diaminobenzamides

A parallel solution-phase library synthesis of functionalized diaminobenzamides is described. The four-step library synthesis is accomplished using polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis techniques. This high-yielding, multi-step sequence utilizes sequestering resins for the removal of reactants, reactant by-products, and employs a resin capture/release strategy as a key library synthesis step. Step one of the sequence relies on the displacement of an activated fluoro-group from the aromatic ring of 1a, b with a variety of primary amines to introduce the first diversity position. Step two is hydrolysis of the benzoate ester to a benzoic acid which is subsequently captured on a polyamine resin, washed, and released to give 4a, b in pure form. Step three utilizes PASP resins to mediate the amide coupling of a benzoic acid with a variety of primary amines to give the aminonitrobenzamides 5a, b and introduces the second diversity position. Step four is the parallel reduction of the aminonitrobenzamides 5a, b to the functionalized diaminobenzamides 6a, b. This library synthesis proceeds with high overall purities which average 80 % over the 4-step sequence.     

Light olefin production from CO/H2 over silica supported Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from a bimetallic carbonyl anion, [Fe2Mn(CO)12]?

Fe/Mn/K catalysts derived from support of the anionic carbonyl, [Fe₂Mn(CO)₁₂]^– on silica were compared with catalysts prepared by aqueous impregnation methods, and found to be more selective for production of C₂–C₄ olefins. Addition of K had little effect, whereas variations in reaction conditions altered selectivity owing to secondary reactions of the alkene products.

Concurrent adsorption and complex formation in reversed-phase liquid-liquid chromatography with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide

Summary Reversed-phase liquid-liquid chromatographic systems consisting of an aqueous mobile phase and an organic liquid stationary phase of the proton acceptor tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) inn-decane, coated on LiChrosorb RP-8, have been studied. The solutes were hydrophilic aromatic carboxylic acids and phenol. The retention of the carboxylic acids shows a minimum at 10 mM of TOPO, whereas increasingly tailing peaks have been obtained with decreasing concentrations of TOPO. This behaviour is due to a concurrent complex formation by hydrogen bonding with TOPO in the liquid stationary phase and adsorption at the interface between the support and the liquid stationary phase. The adsorption of TOPO, ketones and aromatic acids from hexane on Li-Chrosorb RP-8 has been studied, and seems to be due to residual silanol groups. The adsorption isotherm of TOPO has been determined and can be described by a two-site Langmuir adsorption model. Non polar solutes are not adsorbed. The influence of TOPO on the retention and the peak symmetry of carboxylic acids in the liquid-liquid chromatographic system appears to be due to a competition between TOPO and the acids for the same adsorption sites. No competition was found for phenol.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Structural characterization by chromatographic profiling of the oligosaccharides of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) recombinant envelope glycoprotein gp120 produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells

This report together with the paper by T. Mizuochi, M. W. Spellman, M. Larkin, J. Solomon, L. J. Basa and T. Feizi (1988) Biochem. J. 254, 599-603 describes the structural elucidation of the N-linked oligosaccharides of the HIV envelope glycoprotein, gp120 (cloned from the HTLV-III B isolate and expressed as a secreted fusion protein after transfection of Chinese hamster ovary cells), which is known to bind with high affinity to human T4 lymphocytes. Oligosaccharides were released from peptide by hydrazinolysis, fractionated by paper electrophoresis, high performance lectin affinity chromatography and Bio-Gel P-4 column chromatography, and their structures determined by sequential exoglycosidase digestions in conjunction with methylation analysis. The glycoprotein was found to be unique in its diversity of oligosaccharide structures. These include high-mannose type and hybrid type, as well as four categories of complex type chains: mono-, bi-, tri- and tetra-antennary, with or without N-acetyllactosamine repeats, and with or without a core region fucose residue. Among the sialidase-treated oligosaccharides no less than 29 structures were identified as follows: (formula; see text) where G = galactose; GN = N-acetylglucosamine; M = mannose; F = fucose; +/- = residues present in a proportion of chains. The actual number of oligosaccharide structures is much greater since before desialylation there was evidence that among the hybrid and complex type chains all but 6% contained sialic acid at the C-3 position of terminal galactose residues, and partially sialylated forms of the bi- and multiantennary chains were present.     

Quantitative determination of glutathione in single human erythrocytes by capillary zone electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

Glutathione (GSH) in single human erythrocytes is determined by capillary zone electrophoresis with end-column amperometric detection at a gold/mercury amalgam microelectrode. A capillary of 10 microm inner diameter is suitable for determination of GSH in an individual erythrocyte with a good signal-to-noise ratio. The limit of detection is 1 x 10(-7) mol/L or 26 amol and the linear dynamic range is 2 x 10(-7) to 2 X 10(-5) mol/L for the capillary. In this method, the calibration line is obtained with a capillary adsorbed before a certain amount of hemoglobin can be used for the quantification of GSH in the external standardization. The whole cell injection and the lack of necessity of a derivatization reaction lead to more accurate and precise results, which are closer to the macroscopic values of glutathione in human red blood cell (i.e., hemolysate) than those determined by indirect laser-induced fluorescence detection.     

Supramolecular framework adducts constructed of hexamethylenetetramine,aquated alkali metal cationic clusters,and hexacyanoferrates(II/III)

The reaction of alkali metal hexacyanoferrate(II/III) with (CH₂)₆N₄ (hexamethylenetetramine, abbreviated HMT) in an acidic medium yielded crystalline compounds of stoichiometries HK₂[Fe¹¹¹(CN)₆]·2HMT·4H₂O, H₂K₂[Fe¹¹(CN)₆]·2HMT·4H₂O, and HNa₂[Fe¹¹¹(CN)₆]· 2HMT·5H₂O. Their crystal structures are based on a packing of three molecular components: neutral and/orprotonated HMT, hexacyanoferrate, and an alkali metal ion-water cluster. The resulting three-dimensional supramolecular framework is constructed from the coordination of the alkali metal ion by aqua ligands as well as [Fe(CN)₆]{n–} and HMT units, and further stabilization is achieved by hydrogen bonding between water molecules and the noncoordinated nitrogen atoms of HMT and hexacyanoferrate.
