The triflate salts of cyclic hydrazides function as asymmetric catalysts for the [3+2]cycloadditions of nitrones with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The camphor-derived hydrazides show a preference for the exo isomers during these reactions, providing a compliment to other organically catalyzed dipolar cycloadditions. Enantiomeric excesses as high as 93% were realized for the exo isomers, while some endo products were obtained in 94% ee. 相似文献
Grignard reagents react with 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride and produce in high yields the corresponding substituted bicyclo-γ-butanolides. These lactones produce the title compounds by retro Diels-Alder reaction during distillation. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] Cyclic hydrazides function as asymmetric organocatalysts in aqueous Diels-Alder reactions. The hydrazide is employed as the catalytic machinery in a compact camphor-derived framework that imparts facial selectivity to the cycloadditions. Kinetic evidence suggests the reaction involves rapid iminium formation. 相似文献
We exhibit the cartesian differential categories of Blute, Cockett and Seely as a particular kind of enriched category. The base for the enrichment is the category of commutative monoids—or in a straightforward generalisation, the category of modules over a commutative rig k. However, the tensor product on this category is not the usual one, but rather a warping of it by a certain monoidal comonad Q. Thus the enrichment base is not a monoidal category in the usual sense, but rather a skew monoidal category in the sense of Szlachányi. Our first main result is that cartesian differential categories are the same as categories with finite products enriched over this skew monoidal base. The comonad Q involved is, in fact, an example of a differential modality. Differential modalities are a kind of comonad on a symmetric monoidal k-linear category with the characteristic feature that their co-Kleisli categories are cartesian differential categories. Using our first main result, we are able to prove our second one: that every small cartesian differential category admits a full, structure-preserving embedding into the cartesian differential category induced by a differential modality (in fact, a monoidal differential modality on a monoidal closed category—thus, a model of intuitionistic differential linear logic). This resolves an important open question in this area.
We report on the use of polymyxin (PM), a cyclic cationic lipodecapeptide, as an electrode modifier for studying protein film voltammetry (PFV) on Au and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) electrodes. Pretreating the electrodes with PM allows for the subsequent immobilization of an active submonolayer of [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Allochromatium vinosum ( Av H2ase). Probed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), the adsorbed enzyme exhibits characteristic electrocatalytic behavior that is stable for several hours under continuous potential cycling. An unexpected feature of the immobilization procedure is that the presence of chloride ions is a prerequisite for obtaining electrocatalytic activity. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) relates the observed catalytic activity to enzymatic adsorption at the PM/Au(111) surface, and a combination of concentration-dependent CV and AFM is used to investigate the interaction between the enzyme and the PM layer. 相似文献
The efficient regioselective and stereospecific synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins using a mild and convenient method is disclosed. 2-Alkynyl esters are selectively converted to E-beta-chloro-alpha-iodo-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters by exposure to Bu4NI in refluxing dichloroethane. These products are produced cleanly, regio- and stereoselectively, and in high yields. Single-isomer tetrasubstituted olefins bearing four different carbon substituents are then synthesized by sequential palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. Selectivity results from reactivity differences in the intermediate substrates. 相似文献
Amperometric detection is ideally suited for integration into micro- and nanofluidic systems as it directly yields an electrical
signal and does not necessitate optical components. However, the range of systems to which it can be applied is constrained
by the limited sensitivity and specificity of the method. These limitations can be partially alleviated through the use of
redox cycling, in which multiple electrodes are employed to repeatedly reduce and oxidize analyte molecules and thereby amplify
the detected signal. We have developed an interdigitated electrode device that is encased in a nanofluidic channel to provide
a hundred-fold amplification of the amperometric signal from paracetamol. Due to the nanochannel design, the sensor is resistant
to interference from molecules undergoing irreversible redox reactions. We demonstrate this selectivity by detecting paracetamol
in the presence of excess ascorbic acid.
