Observations on the use of microwave irradiation in azaheterocycle synthesis

A comparison of conventional heating and microwave irradiation in the synthesis of azaheterocycles is discussed. Microwave irradiation was found to increase the yields of the desired products, shorten the reaction times, and extended this chemistry to recalcitrant amide substrates and weak nucleophiles.     

Selective enhancement effects of silver salts on the transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of gem-difluorinated heterocyclics using 2,2-difluorohomopropargyl amides

The addition of silver salts had an effect on the catalyst activity in the Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization-coupling tandem reaction, as well as in the Rh(I)-catalyzed Pauson-Khand reaction. The cationic palladium complex generated from Pd(PPh₃)₄ (2.5 mol%) with AgSbF₆ (1.5 equiv.) activates the triple bond of 2,2-difluoropropargylic amides to give the 4,5-disubstituted 3,3-difluoro-γ-lactams, through a sequential 5-endo-dig cyclization and cross-coupling reaction. The γ-lactam was transformed into ring-opened monofluorovinylic compounds after silica-gel chromatography. Pauson-Khand reaction of fluorinated 1,7-enyne amides using catalytic amounts of [Rh(COD)₂]₂ (5 mol%) and AgOTf (20 mol%) gave the corresponding gem-difluorinated bicyclic lactam.     

Synthesis,characterization, docking and antimicrobial studies of binol based amide linked symmetrical bistriazoles

The antimicrobial resistance and excessive use of modern drugs has hampered the treatment of infectious disease. Therefore, the development of new antibiotics with very good efficacy and lesser side effects is the focused area of medicinal chemists. In the present work, the design and copper (I) catalyzed click synthesis of some amide linked binol based 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-bistriazole hybrids from bisalkyne precursor is reported along with characterization of the newly synthesized bistriazoles with the support of IR, NMR and HRMS spectral techniques. The in vitro antimicrobial screening of these bistriazoles against selected bacterial (S. aureus, B. subtilis, and E. coli) and fungal (A. niger and C. albicans) strains signifies the importance of amide and triazole moiety in the final derivatives. The in silico docking studies further supports the antimicrobial results through various binding interactions with binding energies of compound 6f (1KZN: 9.7 kcal/mol) and 6h (4WMZ: 13,3 kcal/mol).     

The Indenyl Effect: Accelerated C−H Amidation of Arenes via Ind*RhIII Nitrene Transfer Catalysis**

Investigations into C−H amidation reactions catalysed by cationic half-sandwich d⁶ metal complexes revealed that the indenyl-derived catalyst [Ind*RhCl₂]₂ significantly accelerated the directed ortho C−H amidation of benzoyl silanes using 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones. Ring slippage involving a haptotropic η⁵ to η³ rearrangement of the indenyl complex proposedly enables ligand substitution at the metal centre to proceed via associative, rather than dissociative pathways, leading to significant rate and yield enhancements. Intriguingly, this phenomenon appears specific for C−H amidation reactions involving weakly coordinating carbonyl-based directing groups with no acceleration observed for the corresponding reactions involving strongly coordinating nitrogen-based directing groups.     

金/钯双金属纳米颗粒协同催化酰胺和醇间氢自转移反应中路易斯酸驱动反应路径

金属纳米颗粒,特别是金和它的双金属纳米颗粒作为强大的绿色催化剂广泛用于有机合成反应中。在一个反应体系中使用2个不同催化剂(如协同催化),在均相催化中是一个很好的策略。然而,这种方法仍在发展中。最近我们发现,金/钯双金属纳米颗粒与路易斯酸的协同催化体系可用于伯胺的N-烷基化：即酰胺与醇之间的氢自转移反应。我们详细报道了路易斯酸对该氢自转移反应的影响。结果表明,所选的路易斯酸不仅影响生成目标产物的反应路径,而且影响生成多个中间体和副产物的反应路径。弱的路易斯酸,如三氟甲磺酸碱土金属盐,非常适合酰胺的N-烷基化反应。     

In situ Detection of Amide A Bands of Proteins in Water by Raman Ratio Spectrum

The amide A band of protein is sensitive to the hydrogen bands of amide groups of proteins. However, it is hard to distinguish the amide A band of aqueous protein in situ directly, since it overlaps with O-H stretching vibration of water. In this work, we presented a new analytical method of Raman ratio spectrum, which can extract the amide A band of proteins in water. To obtain the Raman ratio spectrum, the Raman spectrum of aqueous protein was divided by that of pure water. A mathematical simulation was employed to examine whether Raman ratio spectrum is effective. Two kinds of protein, lysozyme and α-chymotrypsin were employed. The amide A bands of them in water were extracted from Raman ratio spectra. Additionally, the process of thermal denaturation of lysozyme was detected from Raman ratio spectrum. These results demonstrated the Raman ratio spectra could be employed to study the amide A modes of proteins in water.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted indazolyl amide derivatives as S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase inhibitors

A series of novel amide derivatives bearing an indazole moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHase) inhibitory activity. Among these compounds, 8b, 8m, 8r and 8w showed better or similar inhibitory effects compared to the positive control aristeromycin. These results provide a novel lead for the discovery of more potent non-adenosine analogs as SAHase inhibitors.     

拉曼除谱原位测量水溶液中蛋白质的酰胺A谱带

蛋白质的酰胺A谱带对蛋白质的酰胺氢键结构很敏感. 然而由于该谱带和水的OH伸缩振动谱带严重重叠,导致在蛋白质水溶液中原位测量酰胺A谱带依旧很困难. 我们提出了一种新的分析方法用于原位测量水溶液中的酰胺A谱带. 这个方法称为拉曼除谱法. 将蛋白质水溶液光谱除以纯水光谱即可获得拉曼除谱. 利用数值模拟从数学上肯定了使用拉曼除谱可以直接获得酰胺A谱带. 我们还通过测量溶菌酶和α-糜蛋白酶的固体和水溶液的拉曼光谱,这些光谱也证实了可以通过拉曼除谱法直接获取酰胺A谱带. 利用拉曼除谱还分析了溶菌酶的热变性过程. 这些研究表明拉曼除谱可以原位地表征水溶液中的蛋白质酰胺A谱带.     

The role of aromatic groups in the Tobey-Simon additivity rule for vinylic protons

The Tobey-Simon (additivity) rule for aromatic groups which was devised about 40 years ago has been found to need revision. The rule shows an aromatic group attached to a C==C double bond as causing a downfield chemical shift of a cis-related vinylic proton and a small upfield shift of a trans-related proton. A search of data in the recent literature has shown that this rule should apply mainly to monosubstituted phenyl groups and some polynuclear aromatics. In contrast with them, 2,6-disubstituted phenyl, 2,4,6-trisubstituted phenyl and 9-anthracenyl groups cause cis-related vinylic protons to resonate upfield of comparable trans-related protons. Further, the current rule for o-substituted phenyl groups has been found to be inaccurate. In writing a rule for aromatic groups, therefore, greater attention needs to be given to the diversity of effects that these groups have on chemical shifts of vinylic protons.
