All-trans-N-retinylidenetryptamine Schiff base in surfactant solubilized water pools in heptane—a fluorescence study

All-trns-N-retinylidenetryptamine Schiff base was incorporated into aerosol-OT (AOT, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate)/heptane reverse micelles. This micellar system was used as a model to study the retinal-tryptophan interactions in retinal proteins. The retinylidene Schiff base remains stable in the presence of reverse micelle-solubilized water pools. Partition coefficient and microviscosity measurements show that the Schiff base is located in the micellar interphase. The results are discussed in terms of the interaction between the retinylidene chromophore and the active site environment of rhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin. In the present model, the quencher and emitting units are covalently attached, and are separated by two carbon spacer units. The fluorescence emission data obtained for the micelle-intercalated Schiff base chromophore are compared with the fluorescence of the native protein and intermediates in the photochemical cycle of bacteriofhodopsin. A comparison of the data obtained for tryptamine and the Schiff base with the results available for bacteriorhodopsin and bacterioopsin reveals that there is a large degree of quenching on intercalation of the retinylidene chromophore in the vicinity of the fluorophore. Evidence provided by this model suggests that energy transfer to retinal can occur from tryptophan residues located in the retinal pocket in the native protein. Thus the retinylidene unit can act as a quencher of the energy of tryptophan, the nature and extent of which may depend on the conformation and relative orientation of the protein-bound fluorophore.     

One-Pot Convenient and High Yielding Synthesis of Dithiocarbamates

Summary. A convenient and high yielding method for the synthesis of diverse dithiocarbamates having various substituents including alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and alkylaryl at the thiol chain or at the amine chain or at both thiol and amine chains were developed by the one-pot reaction of mercaptans, amines, and bis(benzotriazolyl)methanethione in presence of amidine base under mild reaction conditions.

Novel ring transformation of quinolines to indole derivatives in two steps via 1,4-dihydroquinoline derivatives

Diphenyl 1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydroquinoline-4-phosphonates 5c-g, obtained from the reaction of corresponding quinoline derivatives 1 with phenyl chloroformate and triphenyl phosphite in one step, were ozonized in CHCl₃ and CH₃COOH. Treatment of the resulting mixture with NaHCO₃ produced the 3-formyl-1-phenoxycarbonylindole derivatives 8a-e in high yields. The ring transformation of quinolines 1 to indoles 8 proceeds under mild conditions.     

异亚硝基乙酰乙酸乙酯亚胺Pd(Ⅱ)配合物的合成、表征和tran Pd(p-CH3C6H4-IEAI)2的晶体结构

Six palladium(Ⅱ) complexes with isonitrosoethylacetoacetate imine Schiff base ligands, Pd(R-IEAI)₂, were prepared and characterized by IR, Raman and electronic spectra. Complex tran Pd(p-CH₃C₆H₄-IEAI)₂ (2) cry- stallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c,with a=1.2002(2),b=0.9972(2),c=1.1121(2)nm,β=90.43(3)°,Z=2,F(000)=616,μ=7.44cm^-1. The final R and wR are 0.0244 and 0.0625 for 2620 ob-served reflections with I≥2σ(I), respectively. The geometry around the Pd(Ⅱ) ions in those complexes has a distorted PdN₄ square plane, the Schiff base ligands R-IEAI^- being coordinated through their oximino-nitrogen atoms and imino-nitrogen atoms.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of poly(p‐phthaloyl‐disacetylaceton‐ethylenediimine) metal complexes

Macrocyclic Schiff‐base ligand, bisacetylaceton‐ethylenediimine (BAE) and its transition metal complexes M(BAE) (M = Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺) were synthesized. The complexes having characteristics of aromatic systems and well‐defined one‐dimensional structures, reacted with p‐phthaloyl chloride, to obtain polymer complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), FT‐IR, and thermal analysis and show good thermal stability. ESR spectra analysis discovered that there are free radicals in the chain of polymers, indicating that a weak magnetic spin‐exchange interaction operates between the metal ions and free radicals. It is found that, as the bridging p‐phthaloyl group is able to propagate the magnetic exchange interaction, the polymer complexes show paramagnetic properties by measurement of temperature dependence of the magnetic property, and obey Curie–Weiss law.

Mono- and diboronates derived from tridentate ONO ligands and arylboronic acids

The syntheses of eight [4.3.0] heterobicyclic boronates containing a N → B coordinative bond are described. The monomeric compounds were prepared by reaction of arylboronic acids with a tridentate ligand having the ONO donor set of atoms. It was shown that substituents at the para-position of the B-phenyl moiety transmit electronic effects to the CN bond which in turn is polarized by formation of the N → B coordination bond. At the same time, related tridentate ligands were also reacted with 1,4-benzenediboronic acid in order to prepare benzene diboron complexes. The structure of this type of compounds was confirmed by X-ray analysis for one of the derivatives.
