Base‐dependent selectivity of an SNAr reaction

A detailed kinetic analysis and computational study of an S_NAr reaction between 2,5,6‐trifluoronicotinonitrile, 2 , and the ambident 3‐isopropoxy‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐amine, 3 , is presented. The selectivity with respect to the reaction at the primary amino group of 2 , to give the desired product, 2,5‐difluoro‐6‐[(3‐isopropoxy‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)amino]nicotinonitrile, 1 , is strongly dependent upon reaction conditions. Reaction is found to proceed via both uncatalysed and base catalysed routes, and selectivity towards 1 is strongly enhanced in the presence of the base diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO). Computational studies in tetrahydrofuran solution at the B3LYP/6‐31G* level of theory have provided valuable insight into alternative kinetically indistinguishable reaction pathways. The results suggest that for reaction at the primary amino group, proton removal by DABCO accompanying amine addition allows avoidance of a high‐energy, zwitterionic Meisenheimer intermediate. Reactions at the alternative pyrazole nitrogen atoms are less sensitive to the presence of base because of stabilisation of the Meisenheimer zwitterions by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Unnatural base pair systems toward the expansion of the genetic alphabet in the central dogma

Toward the expansion of the genetic alphabet of DNA, several artificial third base pairs (unnatural base pairs) have been created. Synthetic DNAs containing the unnatural base pairs can be amplified faithfully by PCR, along with the natural A-T and G-C pairs, and transcribed into RNA. The unnatural base pair systems now have high potential to open the door to next generation biotechnology. The creation of unnatural base pairs is a consequence of repeating "proof of concept" experiments. In the process, initially designed base pairs were modified to address their weak points. Some of them were artificially evolved to ones with higher efficiency and selectivity in polymerase reactions, while others were eliminated from the analysis. Here, we describe the process of unnatural base pair development, as well as the tests of their applications.(Communicated by Takao SEKIYA, M.J.A.).

席夫碱稀土配合物与DNA的作用方式

以糠醛和对氨基苯磺酸反应合成席夫碱配体,与稀土离子配位制得相应的稀土配合物,并运用光谱法研究配合物与DNA之间的作用机制,为新型抗癌药物的设计开发提供依据。采用元素分析、红外和紫外光谱对配合物性质进行表征测试,确定其化学组成为REL(OH),RE为La~(3+)、Nd~(3+)、Eu~(3+),L为去质子形式的希夫碱配体。此外,运用光谱法和循环伏安法研究了REL(OH)配合物与鲱鱼精DNA之间的作用方式。配合物在加入DNA后,特征吸收峰强度发生明显的减色效应,但峰位红移不明显。配合物能够猝灭中性红-DNA体系的荧光。Fe(CN)_6~(3-)/~(4-)的氧化还原峰电流在配合物加入后减小,式量电位有正移趋势,表明配合物、Fe(CN)_6~(3-)/~(4-)与DNA的作用存在竞争。研究结果表明:这3种席夫碱稀土配合物与鲱鱼精DNA的作用均属于嵌插,且含有不同稀土离子的配合物与DNA的作用强弱不同,作用大小次序为Eu配合物La配合物Nd配合物席夫碱,这可能与DNA和配合物中的稀土离子所发生的作用有关。

Sonochemical effect on two new Ruthenium(II) complexes with ligand (E)-N-((6-bromopyridin-2-yl)methylene)-4-(methylthio)aniline precursors for synthesis of RuO2 nanoparticles

Two novel Ru(II) complexes [(η⁶-p-cymene)RuCl(L2)]PF₆ (R2) and [(η⁶-C₆H₆)RuCl(L2)]PF₆ (R4), with ligand (E)-N-((6-bromopyridin-2-yl)methylene)-4-(methylthio)aniline (L2), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Based on X-ray crystallography studies, complexes R2 and R4 have coordination environments with formulated (η⁶-p-cymene)Ru(N₂Cl) and (η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(N₂Cl), respectively. The thermal stabilities of compounds R2 and R4 were studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal decomposition of these complexes was at 280 °C and 260 °C under air atmosphere respectively. The interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was explored through electronic absorption spectra, fluorescence and redox behavior studies. The results showed that the complexes bind to CT-DNA with electrostatic interactions. Nanoparticles of RuO₂ were prepared by calcination of R2 and R4. Also the role of the ultrasound waves on the characteristics of the RuO₂ nanoparticles was studied. The nanoparticles were characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also size and morphology of nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
