A combined experimental and theoretical study of the alkylation of 3,5-dithioxo-[1,2,4]triazepines
2008
The chemo- and regioselective alkylation reactions of 3,5-dithioxo[1,2,4]triazepine 1 in a basic medium with α,ω-dibromoalkanes 2a–c, Br(CH2)nBr (n = 1–3), are studied experimentally and theoretically. These alkylations, which occur at the thioxo sulfur atom in position 5, afford mainly 5-bromomethylthio-2,7-dimethyl- 2,3-dihydro- 4H[1,2,4]triazepin-3-one 3 for n = 1, 6,8-dimethyl-5-thioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazepine 4 for n = 2 and 7,9-dimethyl-6-thioxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro[1,3]thiazino [4,5-d][1,2,4]triazepine 5 for n = 3. Theoretical calculations have been carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP(benzene)/6-311+G*//B3LYP/6-31G* levels, in order to rationa…
Alkylation of RNA by Vinyl Chloride and Vinyl Bromide Metabolites in Vivo: Effect on Protein Biosynthesis
1981
Alkylation of DNA is viewed as representing the initial critical step in carcinogenesis induced by chemical substances. Vinyl chloride and vinyl bromide, compounds with proven carcinogenic potency toward the liver, are biotransformed to reactive metabolites which covalently bind to DNA (see Bolt et al. 1980). Furthermore, extensive covalent binding of metabolites of both vinyl chloride (Laib and Bolt 1977, 1978) and vinyl bromide (Ottenwalder et al. 1979) occurs to RNA of liver when rats are exposed to both vinyl halides. Defined products of alkylation are 1,N6-ethenoadenosine (Laib and Bolt 1777; Ottenwalder et al. 1979) and 3,N4-ethenocytidine (Laib and Bolt 1978; Ottenwalder et al. 1979)…
Selective Gold Recovery and Catalysis in a Highly Flexible Methionine-Decorated Metal–Organic Framework
2016
A novel chiral 3D bioMOF exhibiting functional channels with thio-alkyl chains derived from the natural amino acid l-methionine (1) has been rationally prepared. The well-known strong affinity of gold for sulfur derivatives, together with the extremely high flexibility of the thioether "arms" decorating the channels, account for a selective capture of gold(III) and gold(I) salts in the presence of other metal cations typically found in electronic wastes. The X-ray single-crystal structures of the different gold adsorbates Au(III)@1 and Au(I)@1 suggest that the selective metal capture occurs in a metal ion recognition process somehow mimicking what happens in biological systems and protein r…
Rhodium catalyzed oxidative coupling of salicylaldehydes with diazabicyclic olefins: a one pot strategy involving aldehyde C–H cleavage and π-allyl c…
2013
An efficient one pot strategy for the synthesis of cyclopentene fused chromanone derivatives through the direct oxidative coupling of salicylaldehydes with bicyclic olefins in the presence of a rhodium-copper catalyst system is described. This is the first report on the ring opening-ring closing of bicyclic hydrazines via metal catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction.
Synthesis, crystallographic and electrochemical study of ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophane derived cobalt metallatetrahedranes
2012
Abstract A series of alkynyl cobalt complexes [Co2(μ-η2-HCC–PCP)(CO)6−nLn] [n = 0 (2); n = 2, L2 = dppa (3), dppm (4), dcpm (6), 2 P(OPh)3 (7)] and [Co2(CO)4L2]2(μ-η2:μ-η2-HCC–PCP–CCH)] (L2 = dppm (8), dcpm (9); (PCP = [2.2]paracyclophane) has been prepared and characterized. The molecular structures of 3 and 4, as well as that of [Co2(CO)4(μ-CO)2(μ2-dcpm)] (5), have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies (Cyclic Voltammetry, Rotating Disk Electrode) and luminescence spectroscopy have been used to evaluate the extent of the electronic communication through the PCP motif using the “Co2C2” centres as a probe. No electronic coupling between the Co2(CO)n centres via the b…
DELAYED ELECTRON EMISSION OF NEGATIVELY CHARGED TUNGSTEN CLUSTERS
1996
The delayed electron emission of negatively charged tungsten clusters has been investigated on a time scale from 1 to 500 ms. After being stored in a Penning trap clusters ions [Formula: see text] were heated via multiphoton absorption (hν=1.81 eV). In contrast to alkali and coinage metals no photofragmentation could be detected. Instead, for all cluster sizes studied so far only a decrease in the initial ion intensity as a function of time after excitation was observed. This decrease is not caused by ion loss from the trap, but has to be attributed to neutralization via delayed electron emission. The presented results strongly suggest that this process can be viewed as “thermionic emissio…
Electrochemical monitoring of the oxidative coupling of alkynes catalyzed by triphenylphosphine gold complexes
2012
Electrochemical monitoring of the oxidative coupling of alkynes in the homogeneous phase through catalytic cycles involving triphenylphosphine gold complexes and selectfluor as oxidant reveals that at least two gold species in +3 and +1 oxidation states are implicated. Electrochemically driven homocoupling of terminal alkynes using molecular oxygen as the oxidant can be performed using such catalysts. Keywords: Gold catalysis, Oxidative coupling of alkynes, Oxygen, Voltammetry
Palladium-based catalytic systems for the synthesis of conjugated enynes by Sonogashira reactions and related alkynylations
2007
Conjugated alkynes are recurring building blocks in natural products, a wide range of industrial intermediates, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and molecular materials for optics and electronics. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between sp(2)-hybridized carbon atoms of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl halides with sp-hybridized carbon atoms of terminal acetylenes is one of the most important developments in the field of alkyne chemistry over the past 50 years. The seminal work of the 1970s has initiated an intense search for more general and reliable reaction conditions. The interest in the catalytic activation of demanding substrates, the need to minimize the consumption of depletive r…
Daily physical activity and physical activity in soccer practice with children
2017
Päivittäisen fyysisen aktiivisuuden määrässä ja intensiteetissä on eroja ihmisten välillä. Suurin osa fyysisestä aktiivisuudesta tapahtuu vapaa-ajalla, lapsilla koulupäivän ulkopuolella. Liikuntasuositukset ohjeistavat riittävästä päivittäisen fyysisen aktiivisuuden määrästä ja laadusta. Yhä useammat lapset eivät saavuta näitä suosituksia ja jako aktiivisiin ja vähemmän aktiivisiin lapsiin on tullut entistä selkeämmäksi. Osallistumista ohjattuun liikuntaan on pidetty yhtenä ratkaisuna lisätä lasten päivittäisen fyysisen aktiivisuuden määrää. Tutkimukset kuitenkin ovat osoittaneet, ettei järjestettyyn liikuntaan osallistuminen kasvata lasten kokonaisaktiivisuutta. Saman päivän aikana tapahtu…
The hedgehog receptor patched is involved in cholesterol transport.
2011
International audience; BACKGROUND: Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling plays a crucial role in growth and patterning during embryonic development, and also in stem cell maintenance and tissue regeneration in adults. Aberrant Shh pathway activation is involved in the development of many tumors, and one of the most affected Shh signaling steps found in these tumors is the regulation of the signaling receptor Smoothened by the Shh receptor Patched. In the present work, we investigated Patched activity and the mechanism by which Patched inhibits Smoothened. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using the well-known Shh-responding cell line of mouse fibroblasts NIH 3T3, we first observed that enhancement …
