Oligoamide Foldamers as Helical Chloride Receptors-the Influence of Electron-Withdrawing Substituents on Anion-Binding Interactions.
2019
The anion-binding properties of three closely related oligoamide foldamers were studied using NMR spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry and mass spectrometry, as well as DFT calculations. The 1 H NMR spectra of the foldamers in [D6 ]acetone solution revealed partial preorganization by intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which creates a suitable cavity for anion binding. The limited size of the cavity, however, enabled efficient binding by the inner amide protons only for the chloride anion resulting in the formation of a thermodynamically stable 1:1 complex. All 1:1 chloride complexes displayed a significant favourable contribution of the entropy term. Most likely, this is due to the …
Unsaturated carboxylic acid dienolates. Addition to substituted cyclohexanones. Inverted kinetic and thermodynamic stereoselectivities.
1987
Abstract Addition of the lithium dienolate derived from crotonic acid to monosubstituted cyclohexanones occurs through the α and γ carbon atoms of the dienolate in the cold and on heating, respectively. For any regioselectivity, equatorial approach is found under kinetic conditions, but equilibration favours products from axial attack and selectivity may be inverted.
Solid lipid nanoparticles from amphiphilic calixpyrroles
2016
Abstract Hypothesis Macrocyclic amphiphiles form interesting self-assembling structures, including solid lipid nanoparticles, which have potential applications in drug encapsulation. Aryl-extended calixpyrroles, which act as anion binding hosts, are expected to form solid lipid nanoparticles, even though the alkyl chains have unusual perpendicular geometry with respect to the hydrophilic head group. The preparation conditions and the alkyl chain length should affect the size and stability of the particles. Experiments Solid lipid nanoparticles of two aryl-extended calixpyrroles with resorcinol walls and either meso-dodecyl or meso-methyl alkyl chains were compared. Ethanolic solutions of th…
