Synthesis and properties of fluorous arenes and triaryl phosphorus compounds with branched fluoroalkyl moieties (“split pony tails”)

Most compounds designed for immobilization in fluorous media feature linear pony tails of the formula (CH₂)_m(CF₂)_n−1CF₃ [(CH₂)_mR_fn]. This paper presents a first-generation approach to compounds with branched or “split” pony tails of the formula (CH₂)_lCH[(CH₂)_mR_fn]₂. Allyl tri(n-butyl)tin is reacted twice with perfluorooctyl iodide (R_f8I; first, photochemical, 78-81%; second, thermal with radical initiator, 71%; 13-18 g scales) to give the secondary alkyl iodide ICH(CH₂R_f8)₂ (3). A subsequent Ni(Cl)₂(PPh₃)₂-catalyzed reaction with allyl tri(n-butyl)tin yields the branched alkene H₂CCHCH₂CH(CH₂R_f8)₂ (74%). A palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling with OP(p-C₆H₄Br)₃ gives the fluorous phosphine oxide OP(p-C₆H₄CHCHCH₂CH(CH₂R_f8)₂)₃ (84%), and Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation affords OP(p-C₆H₄(CH₂)₃CH(CH₂R_f8)₂)₃ (>99%). Reduction with SiHCl₃ gives P(p-C₆H₄(CH₂)₃CH(CH₂R_f8)₂)₃, which is protected as the air-stable borane adduct H₃B·P(p-C₆H₄(CH₂)₃CH(CH₂R_f8)₂)₃ (9, 64%). The CF₃C₆F₁₁/toluene partition coefficient of 9 is much higher than that of the analog with p-(CH₂)₃R_f8 groups (96.6:3.4 versus 37.3:62.7). The iodide 3 is unreactive towards PAr₃ at 175-250 °C. However, a CuBr-catalyzed reaction with C₆H₅MgBr gives C₆H₅CH(CH₂R_f8)₂, which also exhibits a high partition coefficient (97.9:2.1).

Nucleophilic substitution in 1-alkyl-4,5-dichloro-3-nitropyridazin-6-ones

Treatment of 1-alkyl-4,5-dichloro-3-nitropyridazin-6-one with C-nucleophiles and with ambident nucleophiles (2-azahetarylacetonitriles) leads to a selective substitution of a chorine atom by the quaternary carbon atom of the carbanion formed from a substituted acetonitrile. The pK_a of the CH-acid 2-(1-alkyl-5-chloro-3-nitro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-4-pyridazinyl)malononitrile was determined by potentiometric titration. Reaction of 2-(1-alkyl-5-chloro-3-nitro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-4-pyridazinyl)-2-hetarylacetonitriles with primary amines gives 6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-7-ones. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 556–564, April, 2006.     

Quantitative validation of different protein precipitation methods in proteome analysis of blood platelets

For the preparation of proteins for proteome analysis, precipitation is frequently used to concentrate proteins and to remove interfering compounds. Various methods for protein precipitation are applied, which rely on different chemical principles. This study compares the changes in the protein composition of human blood platelet extracts after precipitation with ethanol (EtOH) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Both methods yielded the same amount of proteins from the platelet preparations. However, the EtOH-precipitated samples had to be dialyzed because of the considerable salt content. To characterize single platelet proteins, samples were analyzed by two-dimensional fluorescence differential gel electrophoresis. More than 90% of all the spots were equally present in the EtOH- and TCA-precipitated samples. However, both precipitation methods showed a smaller correlation with nonprecipitated samples (EtOH 74.9%, TCA 79.2%). Several proteins were either reduced or relatively enriched in the precipitated samples. The proteins varied randomly in molecular weight and isoelectric point. This study shows that protein precipitation leads to specific changes in the protein composition of proteomics samples. This depends more on the specific structure of the protein than on the precipitating agent used in the experiment.

Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene——A Novel Efficient Process for the Synthesis of Brominated Aromatic Compound

The reaction of aromatic carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride gives rise to the corresponding acid chloride which without purification is treated with the sodium salt of mercaptopyridine oxide in the presence of 2,2-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), radical initiator to give a brominated aromatic compound. After etherification and oxidation, 5-iodovaniline was converted to trisubstituted benzene carboxylic acid which give 1-bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene by this new brominating process with a yield of 74%.
