One-pot synthesis of 1-aryl-3-methyl-1,3-dienes using methallyl(trimethyl)silane and aldehydes and their low temperature (Z)→(E) isomerization induced by sulfur dioxide

2-Methylprop-2-ene-1-sulfonyl fluorides can be easily prepared via the ene reaction of methallylsilanes and SO₂. In the presence of a base, aldehydes and 2-methylprop-2-ene-1-sulfonyl fluorides give 1,3-(E) and (Z)-dienes. Their (Z)→(E) isomerization by classical means fails or leads to their polymerization. It is shown that SO₂ can isomerize 1-aryl-3-methyl-1,3-dienes at low temperature, without formation of sulfolenes (cheletropic addition/elimination). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that SO₂ adds to 1,3-dienes forming 1,4-diradical intermediates that are responsible for the (Z)→(E) isomerizations.     

A high-pressure mass spectrometric and density functional theory investigation of the thermochemical properties and structure of protonated dimers and trimers of glycine

A new modification of pulsed-ionization high-pressure mass spectrometry (PHPMS) has been used to perform equilibrium thermochemical studies for relatively nonvolatile biomolecules such as amino acids. Binding enthalpy and entropy changes have been measured for proton-bound clusters of glycine, which are in good agreement with both theoretical (DFT) results of this work and a previous blackbody infrared dissociation experiment. Experimental data indicate that a number of conformers of the proton-bound dimer of glycine may coexist in the explored temperature range (360-460 K). Several new, conceptually different isomers (two of them zwitterionic) have been found by DFT calculations, one of which is 7 kJ mol(-1) lower in energy than the structure previously reported to be the energy minimum.     

Diorganomorpholinometallane von Gallium und Indium – Monomer‐Dimer‐Gleichgewichte in Lösung

Diorganomorpholinometalates of Gallium and Indium – Monomer‐Dimer‐Equilibrium in Solution The reaction of Li[N(CH₂CH₂)₂O] (LiMorpholinate; Li(Morph)) with Me₂GaCl and Me₂InCl gives by salt‐elimination the diorganoamidometalates Me₂M(Morph) ( M = Ga: 1 ; M = In: 2 ), respectively. 1 and 2 were characterized by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy as well as by X‐ray structure determinations. According to this, centrosymmetrical dimers are present in the solid state while a monomer‐dimer equilibrium was assumed for the THF‐solution. Cryoscopic molecular weight determinations confirmed our assumptions.     

Hetero Diels-Alder reactions (HDAR) of α,α′-dioxothiones on solid support

Solid-supported α,α′-dioxothiones are easily obtained starting from β-ketoester modified Wang and hydroxymethylated polystyrene resins. The hetero Diels-Alder reactions (HDAR) of these species, used either as electron-poor dienes or dienophiles, followed by a simple cleavage of the products from the resin by trans-esterification with sodium methoxide, allowed the isolation of the desired cycloadducts in overall yields up to 90%.     

Advanced Methodologies for Adsorption/Thermal Desorption with Tenax-TA for the Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Sulfur Compounds

We have evaluated an analytical method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and sulfur compounds in air by means of adsorption/temperature-programmed thermal desorption (ATPTD) with small bed volume (0.08g) Tenax-TA cartridges, followed by a cryogenic trap in a precolumn with liquid nitrogen as an appropriate concentration method before capillary gas chromatography is described. The enriched components from the adsorption cartridges are transferred to the capillary column with a valveless switching system. Recoveries were determined for the complete ATPTD method. Desorption recoveries near 100% were found for various of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds. The sulfur compounds known to cause nuisance odors in the atmosphere near sulfur recovery and sewerage treatment works were also determined.     

EFFECT OF CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF SULFOXIDE GRAFTED POLY (VINYL ALCOHOL) ON GAS PERMEABILITY

The effects of chemical structure, i. e. side chain structure and their contents, on thepermeability of pure SO_2, N_2 and their mixture gases for the sulfoxide grafted poly (vinylalcohol) (RVSO-PVA) membranes have been investigated:where R=Me, Et, Pr, t-Bu and Ph. It was notable that introduction of sulfoxide group intoPVA side chain greatly enhanced the permselectivity of sulfur dioxide. SO_2 permeability andseparation factor of these polymers increased markedly as the size of side chain increased. Thesulfoxide content of the polymer also played an important role in the pure and mixture gasespermeation. Some explanations have been made to interpret this unique gas separation behaviour.     

Photoredox‐Catalyzed Functionalization of Alkenes with Thiourea Dioxide: Construction of Alkyl Sulfones or Sulfonamides

Sulfonylation of alkenes through photoredox‐catalyzed functionalization of alkenes with thiourea dioxide under visible‐light irradiation is achieved. The reaction of alkenes, thiourea dioxide and electrophiles provides a green and efficient access to alkyl sulfones and sulfonamides. A broad reaction scope is presented with good functional group compatibility and excellent regioselectivity. A plausible mechanism involving a radical addition process with sulfur dioxide radical anion (SO₂^‐) derived from the oxidation of sulfur dioxide anion (SO₂^2–) is proposed, which is supported by fluorescence quenching experiments.     

Cathodic reduction of SO2 in the presence of organic dihalides

The reaction of the electrolytically generated SO ₂ ^– anion radical with 1,-dihalides is used for the synthesis of sulfur containing heterocycles like oxathiolane-, oxathiane-, thiane- and thiepane-oxides. 1,2-Dihalides are reductively deblocked to give olefines.

Adaptation of a fast Fourier transform-based docking algorithm for protein design

Designing proteins with novel protein/protein binding properties can be achieved by combining the tools that have been developed independently for protein docking and protein design. We describe here the sequence-independent generation of protein dimer orientations by protein docking for use as scaffolds in protein sequence design algorithms. To dock monomers into sequence-independent dimer conformations, we use a reduced representation in which the side chains are approximated by spheres with atomic radii derived from known C2 symmetry-related homodimers. The interfaces of C2-related homodimers are usually more hydrophobic and protein core-like than the interfaces of heterodimers; we parameterize the radii for docking against this feature to capture and recreate the spatial characteristics of a hydrophobic interface. A fast Fourier transform-based geometric recognition algorithm is used for docking the reduced representation protein models. The resulting docking algorithm successfully predicted the wild-type homodimer orientations in 65 out of 121 dimer test cases. The success rate increases to approximately 70% for the subset of molecules with large surface area burial in the interface relative to their chain length. Forty-five of the predictions exhibited less than 1 A C(alpha) RMSD compared to the native X-ray structures. The reduced protein representation therefore appears to be a reasonable approximation and can be used to position protein backbones in plausible orientations for homodimer design.
