Synthesis of cationic water-soluble esters of chlorin e6

Two esters of chlorin e₆ have been synthesized by esterification with aminoalcohols via the formation of acid chloride using oxalyl chloride and converted to the corresponding cationic water-soluble esters of chlorin e₆. The visible absorption and circular dichroism spectra have revealed that these two cationic chlorin e₆ esters synthesized are readily soluble in water as a monomer.     

Ab Initio (GIAO) Calculations of Absolute Nuclear Shieldings for Representative Compounds Containing 1(2)H, 6(7)Li, 11B, 13C, 14(15)N, 17O, 19F, 29Si, 31P, 33S,and 35Cl Nuclei

Two kinds of ab initio calculations (B3LYP and HF) using the GIAO approach have been carried out for fifteen H, three Li, three B, eleven C, seven N, nine O, four F, three Si, four P, six S and five Cl containing derivatives. The calculated absolute nuclear shieldings have been compared with experimental absolute values (either measured or estimated from relative chemical shifts) when available or with relative chemical shifts (¹¹B, ³⁵Cl). The correlations range from good to excellent and only three compounds (PN, P₂H₂, SO₂) deviate significantly.     

Neurosteroid analogues: synthesis of 6-aza-allopregnanolone

An efficient synthesis of 6-azapregnane derivatives and their biological activity is described. The nitrogen was introduced into the B ring using Beckmann rearrangement of the (E)-oxime of 6-oxo-B-nor-5α-pregnane derivatives. The required 3α-hydroxyl was produced either by solvolysis of the corresponding 3β-mesyloxy group or by the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of the 3-oxo group; this reduction could be carried out selectively with an unprotected 3,20-dioxo derivative. The binding of the 6-aza-steroids to the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABA_A) was measured using [³⁵S]-tert-butyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]phosphorothionate (TBPS) and [³H]flunitrazepam. The only analogue to be slightly active was that lacking any oxygen function in position 3.     

γ-射线辐照对尼龙6纤维结构的影响

<正> 过去的大多数研究表明,高能射线辐照会引起聚乙烯及聚丙烯等稀烃类聚合物分子链交联及降解,而且会导致结晶度下降。张利华等人最近的研究表明,对于尼龙1010塑料,仅当辐照剂量高到一定程度后,辐照才会破坏结晶。此外,Stowe等人曾经研究过近紫外线对尼龙66纤维结构的影响,结果表明,在空气气氛中的近紫外辐照主要导致尼龙66纤维降解,并使纤维结晶度提高。有关高能射线辐照对高度取向的合成纤维结构及性能的影响的研究尚不多见。本工作将讨论γ-射线对于尼龙6纤维结构的影响。     

The IINS, IR and DFT studies of hydrogen bonds in 6-Furfuryl and 6-Benzylaminopurines

FTIR and IINS spectra of 6-Furfurylaminopurine (6-FAP) and 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) taken at different temperatures have been analysed and compared with the spectra calculated by the ab initio DFT/B3LYP method and the semiempirical PM3 method in the isolated molecule approximation, for the tautomers N3-H, N7-H and N9-H, and dimers with hydrogen bonds. For 6-FAP the best agreement between the calculated and experimental (at 20 K) spectra has been found for the N9-H tautomer, whose structure was established by X-ray diffraction. For 6-BAP the analogous agreement for the N9-H tautomer structure has been poor and much better for the N7-H tautomer. The vibrational spectra calculated for dimers of the molecules studied involved in hydrogen bonds, permitted also an interpretation of the bands whose positions and FWHM in the FTIR spectra changed with temperature.     

Purine Nucleoside Analogs. 12. Synthesis of Novel 8,9-Disubstituted Guanine Derivatives by S-Alkylation of 2-Acetamido-9-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)-6-oxo-8-thioxopurine

S-Alkylation of 2-acetamido-9-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)-6-oxo-8-thioxopurine was used to synthesize its novel S- and N₍₇₎-substituted derivatives. We have established the effect of the structure of the alkylating agent on the reaction conditions and its regioselectivity. We have shown that the synthesized guanine derivatives can be modified further.     

Instantaneous strain recovery elasticity and endothermic heat change in nylon-6 monofilaments and silicone rubbers

The instantaneous elastic moduli for a nylon-6 monofilament were derived on strain recoveries right after creep, stress relaxation, and rapid elongation,E _c ,E _s andE _e , respectively. It was found that during strain recoveryE _s (>E _e ) andE _e increase monotonically with increasing load,m ₁, on the sample. The extrapolated value of E_s atm ₁=0 g is almost equal to Young's modulus, 4.06 GPa. The value ofE _c also increased with increasingm ₁, and atm ₁=600 g (1.93 t cm^–2) reached about 14 GPa. The endothermic heat change right after creep, stress relaxation or rapid elongation,Q, was negligibly small. For comparison,E _s ,E _c andQ were also investigated for silicone rubber. It was found thatE _s (53.8 M Pa at the draw ratioD=1.2) decreased abruptly atD=1.3. In the range ofD=1.4–1.9,E _s was only 22.6 MPa. In the case of stress relaxation,Q increased with increasingD from 4 J mol^–1 (atD=1.2) to 56 J mol^–1 (atD=1.9). FurthermoreE _c (5.58 MPa atm ₁=133.8 g (429.4 kg cm^–2)) increased gradually with increasing m₁ and attained 16.6 MPa atm ₁=548.4 g (1.76 t cm^–2). In the case of creep,Q was in the range of 0–11.5 J mol^–1 and larger when larger loads,m ₂ were removed during the later stages of creep.Dedicated to Professor Bernhard Wunderlich on the occasion of his 65th birthdayThe author wishes to thank Mr. Keizi Igarashi and Mr. Tetsuya Yasui for helping in the experiments.     

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.     

Theoretical study of reaction channels for the weakly bound complex systems created with HF,CO2, and various amines

This investigation conducted reaction channels of weakly bound complexes CO₂…HF, CO₂…HF…NH₃, CO₂…HF…NH₂CH₃, CO₂…HF…NH(CH₃)₂, and CO₂…HF…N(CH₃)₃ systems, using the Gaussian 98 package at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,2pd) level. The syn‐fluoroformic acid or syn‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers are more stable than the related anti‐fluoroformic acid or anti‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers. However, the above‐mentioned weakly bound complexes are more stable than both the related syn‐ and anti‐type fluoroformic acid or acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers and their related decomposed into CO₂ + HF or CO₂ + NHR₃F (R?H, CH₃) combined molecular systems. Five reaction channels of the weakly bound complexes exist. Each channel includes weakly bound complexes and their related above‐mentioned systems. Moreover, each reaction channel contains two transition states. The transition state between the weakly bound complex and anti‐fluoroformic acid type structure (T₁₃) is significantly higher than that of internal rotation (T₂₃) between syn‐ and anti‐FCO₂H (or FCO₂H…NR₃) structures. However, the above‐mentioned T₁₃ can significantly decrease its energy by adding the third molecule NH₃ or NR₃ (R?H or CH₃). The more CH₃ that is substituted in NR₃ of the reaction channel, the lower the activation energy of the transition state in the system is affected. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
