Electroreduction of some pyridine carboxamides on carbon electrodes in aqueous solutions

The electroreductions of the NAD⁺ model compounds nicotinamide (I), N₁-methyl nicotinamide (II), N′-methyl nicotinamide (III) and isonicotinamide (IV) on carbon electrodes have been studied in aqueous media in the pH range 0–12 by linear-sweep cyclic voltammetry (Scheme 1, I-IV). Logarithmic analyses of the reduction peaks were performed by computing the convolution of the current with time as a function of the potential. On the basis of the experimental results it was concluded that the irreversibility of the electron transfers increased when a glassy carbon electrode was used, and this irreversibility being more marked when a plastic formed carbon electrode was employed. The reduction processes occurred with more difficulty on carbon electrodes than on mercury electrodes. Both the reduction and the reoxidation (when occurred) processes changed with respect to those observed on mercury electrodes, being irreversible electron transfers the rate-determining steps in most cases. Thus, for compounds I, II and III at pH < 2 the reductions occurred by the uptake of two electrons and two H⁺ ions, and the rate determining step was found to be the first one-electron transfer, for I and III, and the irreversible second electron transfer, preceded by the uptake of an H+ ion, for II. At pH>3 the processes consisted of electrodimerization reactions, preceded by the protonation of the heterocyclic nitrogen in cases I and III. The second electron transfer of the electroreduction of IV always appeared irreversible, in contrast with that found for mercury electrodes.

An experimental and theoretical study of vibrational spectra of picolinamide, nicotinamide, and isonicotinamide

The molecular structures and vibrational spectra of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide (picolinamide, nicotinamide, isonicotinamide) were calculated with the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the B3LYP function and the 6-31++G(d,p), Z2PolX, Z3PolX basis sets. The calculations were performed by using the Gaussian98W packet program set. The total energy distributions (TED) of the vibrational modes of these molecules were calculated by using the Scale 2.0 program and the vibrational modes of the molecules were determined. The Scaled Quantum Mechanical (SQM) method was used in the scaling procedure. In the experimental part of the study, the solid phase FT-IR and Micro Raman spectra of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide have been recorded in the range of 4000-650 and 1200-100 cm⁻¹, respectively. The calculated wavenumbers were compared to the corresponding experimental values. As a result, the observed bands of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide were assigned with good accuracy.

Interaction of adenine and thymine with aqueous sugar solutions

The solubility of the nucleic acid bases, adenine and thymine, in aqueous erythritol, xylose, glucose, and sucrose solutions has been studied. The solubility of adenine increases linearly with glucose and sucrose concentration, whereas with the other reagents a nonlinear increase is observed. Below 1.5M reagent concentration, the solubility of adenine increases in the order erythritol < robose, xylose < glucose < sucrose. The solubility of thymine in these solutions, on the other hand, decreases, increases, or does not change depending upon the reagent. The effect of temperature on the solubility of adenine and thymine in sugar solution indicates that the transfer of these molecules from water to sugar solution is exothermic.Presented in part at the VIIth All-India Symposium in Biophysics held at Visva Bharati University during October 1976.

First synthesis of enantio-uracil dinucleotide, comparison of physicochemical properties of their enantiomers, and separation by chiral column chromatography

Enantio-uracil dinucleotide 5, which consists of two l-uridylic acids and one pyrophosphate, was synthesized for the first time in our laboratory. Benzolyated l-uridine was prepared by a stereoselective glycosylation of silylated uracil with l-1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoylribose (l-ABR 7). After deprotection, l-uridine 9 was converted to P¹,P⁴-di(l-uridine 5′-) tetraphosphate tetrasodium salt (l-UP₄U 5) by treatment of l-UMP morpholidate 10c with triethylammonium pyrophosphate (TEA-PPi 11b). Spectral data of synthesized l-UP₄U 5 are given in the references. All spectral data were identical with those of UP₄U 3 except the specific rotation, which showed a positive value compared to UP₄U 3 having a negative value. Furthermore, the separation by chiral column chromatography was investigated.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of a coordination polymer of silver(I) with saccharinate and nicotinamide

A silver(I)-saccharinato (sac) complex with nicotinamide (nia), [Ag(sac)(nia)] _n has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, DTA-TG analyses and single crystal X-ray diffractometry. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with unit cell parameters of a=7.0258(4) Å, b=24.3784(10) Å, c=8.4301(5) Å, β=109.407(5)°, V=1361.85(13) ų and Z=4. [Ag(sac)(nia)] _n contains [Ag(sac)(nia)] units, which are doubly bridged by both nia and sac ligands, leading to a linear one-dimensional polymeric chains running along the a axis. The silver(I) ion has a highly distorted AgN₂O₂ tetrahedral geometry and the coordination polymer exhibits relatively short intra-chain ligand supported Ag···Ag separations of 3.1593(4) Å. The one-dimensional chains are crosslinked by N–H···O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π(sac)···π(nia) stacking interactions to generate a two-dimensional layer structure. IR spectra and thermal analysis data are in agreement with the crystal structure.
