Substituted pyrazolopyridines are potent inhibitors of phosphodiesterases and cyclin-dependent kinases. In this study, NMR was used to investigate the potential N1-H and N2-H tautomerism of 5-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives. Six compounds were fully characterized by using (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N chemical shifts and indirect (1)H--(13)C and (1)H--(15)N coupling constants. The (1)H NMR spectra were measured over a broad range of temperatures. All of the compounds were shown to exist predominantly in the N1-H tautomeric form. Complementary quantum-chemical calculations of the chemical shieldings and indirect spin-spin couplings support the structural conclusions drawn. 相似文献
The tautomeric equilibria of 2-(4'-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA) and 2-(3',5'-dimethyl-4'-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (3',5'-dimethyl-HABA) have been studied by a combination of spectroscopic and computational methods. For neutral HABA in solvents of different polarity (toluene, chloroform, DMSO, DMF, butanol, and ethanol) the azo tautomer (AT) is largely predominant. For monoanionic HABA, the hydrazone tautomer (HT) is the only detected species in apolar solvents such as toluene and chloroform, while the AT is the only detected species in water and a mixture of both tautomers is detected in ethanol. Comparison of the results obtained for HABA and its 3',5'-dimethylated derivative shows that dimethylation of the hydroxybenzene ring shifts the tautomeric preferences towards the hydrazone species. These findings have been used to examine the differences in binding affinity to streptavidin, as the lower affinity of HABA can be explained in terms of the larger energetic cost associated with the tautomeric shift to the bioactive hydrazone species. Overall, these results suggest that a balanced choice of chemical substituents, embedding environment, and pH can be valuable for exploitation of the azo-hydrazone tautomerism of HABA biomimetics in biotechnological applications. 相似文献
This study highlights the straight-forward synthesis of substituted 1,2-amino alcohols from simple and readily available aromatic methyl ketones. Starting from acetophenone derivatives, the straight-forward synthesis strategy involved an initial bromination of the alpha-positioned methyl group in the first step, followed by a simple hydrolysis to the hydroxyketone (2-hydroxyacetophenone). The hydroxylated intermediate was subsequently converted from Silicibacter pomeroyi to the final 1,2-amino alcohol by using the transaminase. The transaminase-catalyzed reaction proceeded with yields up to 62 % and always excellent enantiomeric excess of >99 %. Interestingly, the keto-enol-tautomerism of the hydroxyl ketone yields an unexpected amino alcohol isomer. 相似文献
A series of novel Schiff bases has been synthesized by reacting 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromene-8,10-dicarbaldehyde 3 and 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2,4-dicarbaldehyde 8 with several primary alkylamines in ethyl alcohol at room temperature within 1-2 min. Schiff bases 4a-i and 9 were formed regioselectively by condensation with only one aldehyde, which is in chelation with a hydroxyl group. Extensive 2D NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that all the compounds 4a-i and 9 exist in the keto-enamine tautomeric form at room temperature. The high reactivity, regioselectivity and stable keto-enamine tautomeric form are due to the presence of an electron-withdrawing aldehyde group. 相似文献
A novel corrole-type macrocycle, oxocorrologen (2), substituted with hemiquinone groups, has been synthesized. It was found to undergo multiple tautomerism of its exchangeable protons between electronegative atom sites at the macrocyclic core (nitrogen atoms) and periphery (phenol oxygen atoms). Alkylation at one macrocyclic nitrogen atom with a 4-nitrobenzyl group gave 3, which can exist in only two tautomeric forms depending on the solvent. Tautomerism has been studied by means of (1)H NMR spectroscopy in a variety of solvents and solvent mixtures. Tautomer structure assignments have been supported by DFT calculations of the relative energies of the tautomers. X-ray crystallography of the N-nitrobenzyl derivative has revealed that intramolecular hydrogen bonding may be responsible for stabilizing the observed tautomers. The solvent dependence of the tautomerism of 2 and 3 confers solvatochromism. Electrochemical measurements on 2 and 3 in their respective quinone forms have revealed irreversible processes, but indicate that they are both electron-deficient with a small HOMO-LUMO gap and first reduction potentials close to those of fullerene electron acceptors. 相似文献
ABSTRACTIn many cases, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is the first-line drug used in combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments due to its radio-sensitization properties. It could participate in a tautomerization process similar to that of uracil, where 5-FU may couple to adenine in DNA. At present, we performed structural and spectroscopic studies using quantum chemical methods of neutral and cationic isolated 5-FU anticarcinogenic drug tautomers, either interacting with a water molecule or embedded into an implicit water solvent. Also, we determined the stationary points (both stable structures and transition states) on their ground potential energy surfaces playing a role during the tautomerization processes. For neutral and ionic species in the gas phase and in solvent, the ordering of the tautomers is found to be the same, where the di-keto form of 5-FU is the most stable structure, followed by the keto–enol and di-enol structural forms. The energy barriers for tautomerization are strongly reduced in solvent (< 0.5?eV) compared to isolated species (~2?eV). The patterns of their lowest electronic states are also computed. Our data may help for the identification of these species in vivo and in the laboratory. 相似文献
Radically different : Contrary to previous proposals, the main reaction of the HO. radical with guanosine or 2′‐deoxyguanosine is the hydrogen abstraction from the NH2 moiety to give a guanyl radical. This radical, characterized by a broad band in the visible region (around 610 nm), undergoes tautomerization to the most stable isomer.
Five 5-substituted-4-(arylidene)amino-2,4-dihydro-3H-1, 2,4-triazole-3-thiones (2a-2e) and seven 6-aryl-3-(D-gluco-pentitol-1-yl)-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines (3a-3g) were synthesized. The complete 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift assignments were analyzed on one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques, including DEPT, NOE-DIF, COSY, gHMBC, and gHSQC. 相似文献
