Analysis of combinatorial chemistry samples by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

A micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method has been developed that can evaluate the purity of samples generated in combinatorial chemistry libraries. This method uses an open tube capillary (27 cm x 50 microm) along with a run buffer composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, and sodium tetraborate coupled with UV detection. Neutral compounds and compounds that were insoluble in aqueous buffers could be analyzed under these conditions in approximately 3 min. The concentration of SDS and the concentration of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin effected the separation. The affect on selectivity resulting from the addition of an organic modifier to the run buffer was examined. The low background absorbency of the run buffer made for easy detection of compounds that absorbed at low UV wavelengths. The quick analysis time made this suitable for analysis of combinatorial chemistry samples.     

Combined capillary gas chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry quantitative methods using labeled or unlabeled internal standards

Three methods of operating an ion trap mass spectrometer (ITMS) were investigated for the determination of quantitative information by combined capillary GC/MS and GC/MS/MS. Separate regression Lines for a hexynone drug were examined by using bath unlabeled and stable-isotope-labeled internal standards. The ITMS modes of operation examined were (1) the full-scan, rf-voltage-only mode, useful on ion trap detectors as well as on the ITMS, (2) a scan using combined rf and dc voltages (rf/dc) for mass-selective storage analyses, and (3) rf/dc followed by collision-induced dissociation, Results of over 200 analyses in the 0.1–10 ng on-column range, with 5 ng of internal standard, showed that the unlabeled internal standard, separated by retention time on the capillary GC column, gave the best relative standard deviatiod (less than 5% over the range) and linear correlations (r ² typically > 0.9992).     

Thermally stable silarylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole polymers

The effects of incorporating a p-phenylene- (or m-phenylene)-1,3,4-oxadiazole fragment into the backbone of poly[1,4-phenylene(diphenylsilyl)-1,4-phenylene-2,5-(1,3,4-oxadiazole)], which was developed by the authors, was investigated. Bis[(p-carbohydrazidophenyl)]diphenylsilane was copolymerized with dipentachlorophenyl terephthalate or isophthalate to produce the prepolymers poly[N-(p-diphenylsilylbenzoyl)-N′N″-(terephthaloyl)-N″′-(p-benzoyl)dihydrazide] and poly[N-(p-diphenylsilylbenzoyl)-N′,-N″-(isophthaloyl)-N″′-p-(benzoyl) dihydrazide], respectively. The polyhydrazides were converted by thermal dehydration into poly[1,4-phenylene(diphenylsilyl)-1,4-phenylene-(1,3,4-oxadiazole-2,5-diyl)-1,4-phenylene-2,5-(1,3,4-oxadiazole)] and poly[1,4-phenyl-ene(diphenylsilyl)-1,4-phenylene-(1,3,4-oxadiazole-2,5-diyl)-1,3,4-(oxadiazole)]. The new polymers were soluble in organic solvents. Films cast from these solutions exhibited good adhesion to glass and metal surfaces. Thermal analysis showed that the heat stability of all these polymers was about the same and that they were resistant to decomposition when heated in air to about 400°C. The results also indicated that these polymers were somewhat less heat-resistant than samples of poly-[1,4-phenylene(diphenylsilyl)-1,4-phenylene-2,5-]1,3,4-(oxadiazole) synthesized from bis(p-carbohydrazidophenyl)diphenylsilane and bis-(p-carbopentachlorophenoxy-phenyl)diphenylsilane.

On the thermal behavior of 4-(o-carboranyl)-1-butylmethyl siloxane–dimethyl siloxane copolymers

Polysiloxanes containing carboranylbutyl and methyl pendant groups were investigated, to determine their resistance to thermal decomposition when heated in air. Results indicate that the copolymers degrade through Si? C as well as Si? O bond rupture. At 300°C. thermooxidative scission of pendant groups was the predominant reaction. whereas Si? O and Si? C bond rupture occurred at 500°C. Variations in the behavior of the copolymers studied suggest that the carborane nucleus provides some inhibiting influence on their thermal decomposition. This is mainly attributed to steric hindrance effects rather than polarity factors. Chain extension with tin octoate caused a reduction of thermal stability, probably because of the addition of Sn? O bonds to the molecules.     

Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Monofunctional trans-a(2)Pt(II) Complex Tethered to a Single-Stranded Oligonucleotide

Cross-linking ability is possible with the oligonucleotide-tethered, monofunctional trans-Pt(II) complex shown. It was synthesized by a novel solid-phase approach comprising conjugation of immobilized tetrathymidylic acid with a trans-a(2)Pt(II) building unit, ammonolysis, and transformation of the resulting complex (R=1-N-cyclohexylmethylthyminate) into the chloro derivative (R=Cl). a=NH(2)CH(3), T=thymine.
