A route with less congestion : A practical method for the highly diastereoselective preparation of anti tertiary homoallylic alcohols has been developed. The reaction of allyltitanocenes, generated by the reductive titanation of various allylic substrates with a titanocene(II) species, with a variety of ketones produced the anti tertiary homoallylic alcohols in good diastereoselectivity, even when using sterically less congested ketones (see scheme; Cp: cyclopentadienyl; Piv: pivaloyl).
The stereocontrolled total synthesis of the originally proposed ( 1 ) and correct ( 2 ) structures of (+)‐neopeltolide, a novel marine macrolide natural product with highly potent antiproliferative activity against several cancer cell lines as well as potent antifungal activity, has been achieved by exploiting a newly developed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling/ring‐closing metathesis strategy. Alkylborate 44 , which was generated in situ from iodide 34 , was coupled with enol phosphate 8 by a Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Ring‐closing metathesis of the derived diene 45 followed by stereoselective hydrogenation afforded tetrahydropyran 47 as a single stereoisomer in high overall yield from 34 . Our convergent strategy enabled us to construct the 14‐membered macrolactone core structure of 2 in a rapid and efficient manner. Total synthesis and biological evaluation of synthetic intermediates and designed synthetic analogues, performed to establish the structure–activity relationships of 2 , led to the discovery of a structurally simple yet potent cytotoxic analogue, 9‐demethylneopeltolide ( 54 ). 相似文献
Halorhodopsin (HR) is a transmembrane seven-helix retinal protein, and acts as an inward light-driven Cl− pump. HR from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpHR) can be expressed in Escherichia coli inner membrane in large quantities. Here, we showed that NpHR forms the trimer structure even in the presence of 0.1% (2 m m ) to 1% (20 m m ) dodecyl-β- d -maltoside (DDM), whose concentrations are much higher than the critical micelle concentration (0.17 m m ). This conclusion was drawn from the following observations. (1) NpHR in the DDM solution showed an exciton-coupling circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. (2) From the elution volume of gel filtration, the molecular mass of the NpHR–DDM complex was estimated. After evaluation of the mass of the bound DDM molecules, the mass of NpHR calculated was approximately equal to that of the trimer. (3) The cross-linked NpHR by glutaraldehyde gave the SDS-PAGE corresponding to the trimer. Mass spectra of these samples also support the notion of the trimer. Using the membrane fractions expressing NpHR ( Escherichia coli and Halobacterium salinarum ), CD spectra showed exciton-coupling, which suggests strongly the trimer structure in the cell membrane. 相似文献
We have developed a compact polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) assembly-type capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence (CL) detection system. Luminol-microperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence reaction was adopted. The device is rectangular in shape (60 mm x 40 mm x 30 mm) and includes three reservoirs (sample, migration buffer, and detection reservoirs) with electrodes. The detection reservoir includes an optical fiber to transport light at the capillary tip to a photomultiplier tube. Isoluminol isothiocyanate (ILITC) was analyzed as a model using this device with fused-silica or polytetrafluoroethylene capillary tubes 10 cm in length. We also used the sample reservoir as a reactor for an immune reaction between anti-human serum albumin immobilized on glass beads and isoluminol isothiocyanate-labeled human serum albumin. The present polytetrafluoroethylene assembly with the capillary tube was useful as a palm-sized analysis device for separation and detection, as well as a reactor. 相似文献
Reversible vapochromic behavior of a porous copper(II) coordination polymer {[Cu(bhnq)(THF)2](THF)}n (1; THF = tetrahydrofuran) constructed from a flexible hingelike ligand H2bhnq [2,2'-bis(3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone)] has been investigated by adsorption measurements. The isotherms show large hysteretic and stepwise profiles, suggesting the occurrence of the guest-induced framework transformation. The dynamic coil-like behavior of 1 can be controlled through the change of the hydrogen-bonding interactions caused by the reversible and selective incorporation of guest molecules. 相似文献
Chemical oxidation of [Ru2(6+)(3,6-DTBCat)4]2- affords [n-Bu4N][Ru2(3,6-DTBDiox)4].acetone (2.acetone). The oxidized species was characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis and EPR, and the delocalization of the unpaired electron over the entire molecule was indicated. This example showed that the utilization of redox-active ligands into a Ru2 complex expanded the degree of freedom in the electronic structure. DFT calculations support this view, and the spin population was estimated to be approximately 18% and 82% for the Ru2 core and the four dioxolene ligands, respectively. 相似文献
The highly enantioselective synthesis of helically chiral 1,1'-bitriphenylenes has been achieved via rhodium-catalyzed double [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of biaryl-linked tetraynes with 1,4-diynes (up to 93% ee). Crystal structures and photophysical properties of these helically chiral 1,1'-bitriphenylenes have also been studied. 相似文献
In order to evaluate the effect of annealing treatment on the proton conductivity of ??-alumina, the electrical conductivity of Mg-doped polycrystalline ??-alumina kept at 1,873?K under various conditions of the surrounding atmosphere and then cooled in the furnace was measured in the temperature range 1,173?C1,473?K. The H+/D+ isotope effect on the electrical conductivity was also examined under a hydrogen atmosphere at 1,273?K. The protonic conductivity measured at 1,273?K increased with the increase in the activity of oxygen and water vapor in the annealing atmosphere at 1,873?K. It is considered that the solubility limit of magnesium ions in ??-alumina in equilibrium with the small amount of the spinel phase increased with the increase in the activity of oxygen and water vapor at 1,873?K. This enhanced amount of magnesium ions is frozen in a non-equilibrium state to 1,273?K and works as the enriched acceptor dopant for the incorporation of protons. 相似文献
We simultaneously measured the force and tunneling current in three-dimensional (3D) space on the Si(111)-(7 × 7) surface using scanning force/tunneling microscopy at room temperature. The observables, the frequency shift and the time-averaged tunneling current were converted to the physical quantities of interest, i.e. the interaction force and the instantaneous tunneling current. Using the same tip, the local density of states (LDOS) was mapped on the same surface area at constant height by measuring the time-averaged tunneling current as a function of the bias voltage at every lateral position. LDOS images at negative sample voltages indicate that the tip apex is covered with Si atoms, which is consistent with the Si-Si covalent bonding mechanism for AFM imaging. A measurement technique for 3D force/current mapping and LDOS imaging on the equivalent surface area using the same tip was thus demonstrated. 相似文献
