We describe herein a catalytic, enantioselective process for the synthesis of 4H‐chromenes which are important structural elements of many natural products and biologically active compounds. A sequence comprising a conjugate addition of β‐diketones to in situ generated ortho‐quinone methides followed by a cyclodehydration reaction furnished 4‐aryl‐4H‐chromenes in generally excellent yields and high optical purity. A BINOL‐based chiral phosphoric acid was employed as a Brønsted acid catalyst which converted ortho‐hydroxy benzhydryl alcohols into hydrogen‐bonded ortho‐quinone methides and effected the carbon–carbon bond‐forming event with high enantioselectivity. 相似文献

In the present work, molecular docking of the chalcone analogues with receptor EGFR carried out using erlotinib as reference drug is reported. About 15 chalcone analogues were analyzed CHL(1–15). Molecules CHL2, CHL3, CHL9, CHL11, and CHL15 found strong affinity for receptor EGFR exhibiting binding energies ??7.7 kcal/mol, ??7.5 kcal/mol, ??7.6 kcal/mol, ??7.9 kcal/mol, and ??8.1 kcal/mol, respectively, when erlotinib a reference drug exhibits binding energy ??7.6 kcal/mol. Toxicity for molecules was assessed against the cytochromes P450 (CYP) and P-gp using Swiss ADMET. Molecule CHL9 could be a suitable lead compound inhibitor to CYP1A2 followed by CHL2 inhibitor of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 and CHL15 with a most stable binding affinity of ??8.1 kcal/mol, inhibiting CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. CHL3 has a binding affinity of ??7.5 kcal/mol, inhibiting all the 05 CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4). CHL11 has a binding affinity of ??7.9 kcal/mol, inhibiting CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9. Considering inhibition of CYP family enzymes by molecules, further here we have perform the enrichment analysis to these CYP family enzymes and reported the metabolic pathways which were probably affected by inhibition of these enzymes using EnrichR online enrichment analysis server. The current predictions over these 15 chalcone derivatives will be needed to further investigate in vivo and in vitro conditions to identify the optimum therapeutic efficacy and least toxicity.
Understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the decomposition of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) still represents a major challenge for the energetic materials and physical (organic) chemistry communities mainly because multiple competing dissociation channels are likely involved and previous detection methods of the products are not isomer selective. In this study we exploited a microsecond pulsed infrared laser to decompose thin RDX films at 5 K under mild conditions to limit the fragmentation channels. The subliming decomposition products during the temperature programed desorption phase are detected using isomer selective single photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PI-ReTOF-MS). This technique enables us to assign a product signal at m/z=42 to ketene (H2CCO), but not to diazomethane (H2CNN; 42 amu) as speculated previously. Electronic structure calculations support our experimental observations and unravel the decomposition mechanisms of RDX leading eventually to the elusive ketene (H2CCO) via an exotic, four-membered ring intermediate. This study highlights the necessity to exploit isomer-selective detection schemes to probe the true decomposition products of nitramine-based energetic materials. 相似文献
AbstractA new sesquiterpene lactone geigerianoloide (1) and four known flavonoids axillarin (2), quercetin (3), 3-methoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-flavone (4) and hispidulin (5) were isolated from Geigeria alata (DC) Oliv. & Hiern. (Asteraceae). Structures were deduced using 1H- and 13C- NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, while the structure of compound 1 was also deduced using X-ray crystallography technique.Geigeria alata is traditionally used for diabetes, therefore compounds were tested for anti-glycation activity, in which compounds 2 and 3 showed potent activities (IC50 values of 246.97?±?0.83 and 262.37?±?0.22 µM, respectively) compared to IC50 value 294.50?±?1.5 µM of rutin. Moreover, compound 4 exhibited a comparable activity to rutin (IC50?=?293.28?±?1.34 µM). Compound 5 showed a weak activity.Compounds 2, 3, and 4 exhibited potent DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50?=?0.1?±?0.00, 0.13?±?0.00 and 0.15?±?0.01 µM, respectively). Compounds 2, 3, and 4 demonstrated significant superoxide anion scavenging activity with IC50 values of 0.14?±?0.001, 0.17?±?0.00, and 0.11?±?0.006 µM, respectively. 相似文献

Resonant tunneling through a 4 nm nanocrystal Ge (nc‐Ge) layer and a 2.4 nm monolayer of Si colloidal quantum dots (QD) is achieved with 0.7 nm amorphous Al2O3 (a‐Al2O3) barriers. The nc‐Ge resonant tunneling diode (RTD) demonstrates a peak‐to‐valley current ratio (PVCR) of 8 and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 30 mV at 300 K, the best performance among RTDs based on annealed nanocrystals. The Si QD RTD is first achieved with PVCRs up to 47 and FWHMs as small as 10 mV at room temperature, confirming theoretically expected excellences of 3D carrier confinements. The high performances are partially due to the smooth profile of nc‐Ge layer and the uniform distribution of Si QDs, which reduce the adverse influences of many‐body effects. More importantly, carrier decoherence is avoided in the 0.7 nm a‐Al2O3 barriers thinner than the phase coherence length (≈1.5 nm). Ultrathin a‐Al2O3 also passivates well materials and suppresses leakage currents. Additionally, the interfacial bandgap of ultrathin a‐Al2O3 is found to be similar to the bulk, forming deep potential wells to sharpen transmission curves. This work can be easily extended to other materials, which may enable resonant tunneling in various nanosystems for diverse purposes. 相似文献
The present work deals with the computation of the gas-solid two-phase flow pressure drop across thin and thick orifices for a vertically downward flow configuration at the higher limits of a dilute phase flow situation(0.01≤αs,in≤0.10).The Eulerian-Eulerian(two-fluid)model has been used in conjunction with the kinetic theory of granular flow with a four-way coupling approach.The validation of the solution process has been performed by comparing the computational result with the existing experimental data.It is observed that the two-phase flow pressure drop across the orifice increases with an increase in the thickness of the orifice,and the effect is more prominent at higher solid loading.The pressure drop is found to increase with an increase in the solid volume fraction.An increase in the Reynolds number or the area ratio increases the pressure drop.An increase in the size of the particles reduces the pressure drop across the orifice at both small and relatively large solid volume fractions.Finally,a two-phase multiplier has been proposed in terms of the relevant parameters,which can be useful to evaluate the gas-solid two-phase flow pressure drop across the orifice and can subsequently help to improve the system performance. 相似文献
