Enlarging the family of ferrocenylphosphine dinuclear rhodium complexes: synthesis and X-ray structure of a novel “A-frame”-type trimetallic Rh/Fe/Rh…
2004
Abstract The symmetrically substituted ligand 1,1 ′ -bis[di(5-methyl-2-furyl)phosphino]ferrocene ( 1 ) has been obtained from the bromophosphine BrP(Fu Me ) 2 and the dilithioferrocene/TMEDA adduct. The quantitative addition of this ferrocene derivative to the tetracarbonyl dimer [(CO) 4 Rh 2 {μ-(S t Bu) 2 }] leads, through decarbonylation, to the dinuclear rhodium complex [(CO) 2 Rh 2 {μ-(S t Bu) 2 }{μ- P , P -Fc[P(Fu Me ) 2 ] 2 }] ( 2 ) in high yield. A X-ray structure [ orthorhombic , space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 ; a =11.2982(2) A, b =13.3165(3) A, c =27.2687(7) A] and the solution multinuclear NMR characterization are reported, which show that the rare “quasi-closed bridging” A-frame struc…
Preparation of trichloro- and tribromocyclopentadienyltungsten(IV)
2000
International audience; The thermal decarbonylation of (Ring)WX3(CO)2 in refluxing toluene has led to the preparation of the CO-free compounds [(Ring)WX3]2 [Ring=η5-C5H5 (Cp) and X=Cl (1a) or Br (1b); Ring=η5-C5H4Me (Cp′), X=Cl (2a) or Br (2b); Ring=η5-C5Me5 (Cp*), X=Cl (3)]. The NMR properties of these molecules are consistent with diamagnetism and thereby indicate a different structure from that of the paramagnetic molybdenum analogues. Compounds 1a and 2a react with dppe to afford mononuclear 18-electron adducts, (Ring)WCl3(dppe) (Ring=Cp (4) or Cp′ (5)). The X-ray structure of 5 shows a pseudo-fac-octahedral geometry with the dppe ligand occupying two equatorial (e.g. cis relative to Cp…
Protective effect of trehalose-loaded liposomes against UVB-induced photodamage in human keratinocytes
2014
Trehalose, a naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide, is known to act as a major protein stabilizer that can reduce ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced corneal damage when topically applied to the eye. However, due to the low skin permeability of trehalose, which makes the development of topical formulations difficult, its use as a skin photoprotective agent has been limited. Previous findings demonstrated that liposomes may significantly improve the intracellular delivery of trehalose. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the protective effects of trehalose-loaded liposomes against UVB-induced photodamage using the immortalized human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT. The effects were al…

Early reductive stress followed by a late onset oxidative stress in acute myocardial infarction
2018
Introduction The idea that the cells might suffer from reductive rather than oxidative stress and that such stress may be relevant in pathophysiology has gained momentum. Aim We aimed at studying markers of oxidative stress and damage as well as the expression of antioxidant enzymes in a swine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) followed by reperfusion. Results and Discussion We found an increase in the GSH to GSSG ratio, a decrease in protein glutathionylation and a decrease in p38 MAPK phosphorylation after 90 minutes of ischaemia in heart samples. It was accompanied by an increase in the expression of Thioredoxin (TrX) and Peroxiredoxin (PrX) and a decrease in the expression of Gl…
G6PD Overexpression Protects Mice Against Associated Oxidative Stress and Delays the Occurrence of Frailty
2016
To assess the impact of lifelong overexpression of G6PD on reactive oxygen species (ROS)-derived damage and the prevention of frailty, we measured the levels of macromolecular oxidative damage in young and old mice and the we tested the neuromuscular fitness and the grip strength in old mice. Old G6PD-Tg male and female mice showed diminished accumulation of DNA oxidation (measured as 8-hydroxyguanosine or 8-OHdG) in liver and brain. Old females also showed reduced lipid oxidation (measured as malondialdehyde or MDA) in the liver. Old G6PD-Tg males, but not females, presented a small but significant increase in brain protein carbonylation. In accordance with these findings, liver from 2-yea…
Ruthenium(II) meso-tetra-(benzo-15-crown-5)-porphyrinates: synthesis and spectroscopic investigation
2007
The synthesis of novel ruthenium(II) meso-tetra-(benzo-15-crown-5)-porphyrinates, meso-[( B 15 C 5)4 Por ] Ru ( CO )( MeOH ) (1) and meso-[( B 15 C 5)4 Por ] Ru ( L )2 (2)-(4) (meso-[( B 15 C 5)4 Por ]2-= 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(benzo-15-crown-5)-porphyrinato-dianion; L = pyridine (py), pyrazine (pyz), 4,4′-bipyridyl (4,4′-bpy)), where CO and MeOH , or two N -donor ligands are axially coordinated to the central metal, are reported. The metalation of the free ligand performed by the reaction of Ru 3( CO )12 with meso-[( B 15 C 5)4 Por ] H 2 in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB, bp = 215°C), gives (1) in a high yield. The synthesis of (2)-(4) involves the decarbonylation of (1) with trimethylamine N …
Susceptibility of Methyl 3-Amino-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate to Acylation
2009
Abstract In the search for a new method of synthesis of hybrid peptides with aminopyrazole carboxylic acid, we tried to force selective acylation at the aromatic amino group instead of at the ring nitrogen atom with fairly gentle acylating agents. The acylating agents used were acid anhydrides: acetic anhydride, tert-butyl pyrocarbonate, and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxyacetic acid/dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. We succceded in acylation at this amino group with almost none at the ring nitrogen atom. Sometimes, however, acylation in small quantities at the ring nitrogen atom was observed as a by-product. To remove this by-product, imidazole was used. Thus, we were able to obtain the hybrid peptides …
Multicomponent Synthesis of Benzothiophen-2-acetic Esters by a Palladium Iodide Catalyzed S-cyclization – Alkoxycarbonylation Sequence
2021
A catalytic carbonylative approach to the multicomponent synthesis of benzothiophene derivatives from simple building blocks [1-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ols, carbon monoxide, and an alcohol)] is presented. It is based on an S-cyclization-demethylation-alkoxycarbonylation-reduction sequence promoted by the PdI2/KI catalytic system, occurring under relatively mild conditions (40 atm, 80 °C, 15 h). Benzothiophene-2-acetic esters are obtained in moderate to good yields (35–70%) starting from variously substituted substrates in combination with different alcohols as external nucleophiles (17 examples). (Figure presented.).
Linear Organic Carbonates
2003
The most common and successful method for producing organic carbonates, including polycarbonates, has been based for long time on the reaction between an alcohol or phenol and phosgene. The existing strict environmental regulations and the expanding market for organic carbonates do not assure that this technology can continue to have a leading role in this area, due to the inherent riskfulness of the processes. The market expansion of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diphenyl carbonate (DPC), and bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC) is a reality, finding its driving force from the industrialization of alternative routes by EniChem (Italy) and UBE (Japan). This favorable situation can be foreseen for…
