Intramolecular alkylative arylation of oxabicylic alkene: a potential diene approach for the synthesis of estrone and analogous steroid structures

Regioselective and stereospecific intramolecular alkylative arylation of unsaturated oxabicyclic diol 6, mediated by Lewis acid or strong protic acid to give the tetracyclic products 7a and 7b, as shown above, represents the first example of an electrophilic (cationic in character) ring-opening-cyclization of oxabicyclic alkene. This constitutes the key cyclization step for a long-standing and potentially useful diene approach for the synthesis of estrone and analogous steroid structures. [structure: see text]

Microscale sample deposition onto hydrophobic target plates for trace level detection of neuropeptides in brain tissue by MALDI-MS

A sample preparation method that combines a modified target plate with a nanoscale reversed-phase column (nanocolumn) was developed for detection of neuropeptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A gold-coated MALDI plate was modified with an octadecanethiol (ODT) self-assembled monolayer to create a hydrophobic surface that could concentrate peptide samples into a approximately 200-500-microm diameter spot. The spot sizes generated were comparable to those obtained for a substrate patterned with 200-microm hydrophilic spots on a hydrophobic substrate. The sample spots on the ODT-coated plate were 100-fold smaller than those formed on an unmodified gold plate with a 1-microl sample and generated 10 to 50 times higher mass sensitivity for peptide standards by MALDI-TOF MS. When the sample was deposited on an ODT-modified plate from a nanocolumn, the detection limit for peptides was as low as 20 pM for 5-microl samples corresponding to 80 amol deposited. This technique was used to analyze extracts of microwave-fixed tissue from rat brain striatum. Ninety-eight putative peptides were detected including several that had masses matching neuropeptides expected in this brain region such as substance P, rimorphin, and neurotensin. Twenty-three peptides had masses that matched peaks detected by capillary liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization MS.     

Utilization of hypervalent iodine in organic synthesis: A novel and facile two‐step protocol for the synthesis of new derivatives of 1H‐Imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazole by the cyclocondensation involving α‐Tosyloxyacetophenones

A series of new 2‐aryl‐7‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methylthio‐1H‐imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazoles ( 5 ) have been synthesized in moderate to good yields, via a two‐step cyclocondensation procedure of 5‐amino‐4‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1 ) and α‐bromoacetophenones ( 3 ) or α‐tosyloxyacetophenones ( 2 ), which were prepared by the reactions of acetophenones with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB). The intermediates, 5‐amino‐1‐(aroylmethyl)‐4‐ cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazoles ( 4 ), have been isolated, serving as evidence for the regioselectivity. When utilizing α‐tosyloxy‐acetophenones, the reactions were more eco‐friendly, the reaction time was significantly reduced and the synthetic procedure was more convenient and easier to manipulate. Surprisingly, using potassium carbonate to displace sodium carbonate in the synthesis of 4 , in the case of 1 (R? CN), two novel cyclocondensation products have been isolated and fully characterized, followed by the proposal of a plausible mechanism.     

μ‐{N,N′‐Bis[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamidato(2–)}‐1κ2O,O′:2κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐bis­(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′)dinickel(II) bis­(perchlorate)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni₂(C₁₀H₂₀N₄O₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ or [Ni(dmaeoxd)Ni(dmbp)₂](ClO₄)₂ {H₂dmaeoxd is N,N′‐bis­[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamide and dmbp is 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine}, the deprotonated dmaeoxd²⁻ ligand is in a cis conformation and bridges two Ni^II atoms, one of which is located in a slightly distorted square‐planar environment, while the other is in an irregular octa­hedral environment. The cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis running through both Ni atoms. The dmaeoxd²⁻ ligands inter­act with each other via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions, which results in an extended chain along the c axis.     

Investigation on the Extraction Mechanism of Au（I） from Cyanide Solution with Quaternary Ammonium System

During the past decades, there has been a renewed interest in the application of solvent extraction to the recovery of Au (I) from cyanide solutions1,2. Among those various extractants, the amine extractants with the addition of organic phosphorus oxide as cosolvent have been widely investigated3,4. Various diluents and modifiers have been selected to optimize the extraction system so as to increase the loading capacity, improve the selectivity and/or reduce emulsification5.

Ab initio study on the kinetics and mechanisms of the formation of Agn (n = 2–6) clusters

The CCSD(T)/11e-RECP//MP2/11e-RECP method was used to explore the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the formation of Ag_n (n = 2–6) clusters. Two kinds of reaction mechanisms were revealed in the formation of Ag_n clusters, the association mechanism for the formation of Ag₂, Ag₅, and Ag₆ clusters and the association–isomerization mechanism for the formation of Ag₃ and Ag₄ clusters. Based on the canonical transition state theory, the calculated rate constants of the formation of Ag_n clusters displayed an odd–even effect: the rate constants of formation of Ag_n clusters with odd number were larger than those with even number. The rate constant of formation of Ag₄ was the lowest, whereas that of Ag₅ was the highest among Ag_n (n = 2–6) clusters. The formation of Ag₄ was the most difficult step in the aggregation process of the silver clusters. The formation of Ag₄ may be related with the critical point in the silver aggregation process.
