Interaction of Alkyltin(IV) Compounds with Ligands of Interest in the Speciation of Natural fluids: Complexes of (CH3)2Sn2+ with Carboxylates

1997

Complex formation by (CH3)2Sn 2+ with acetate (ac), malonate (mal), 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (tricarballylate, tca) and 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate (btc) ligands in aqueous solution is reported. The study has been performed by potentiometry ([H + ]‐glass electrode) at T = 25 °C, and in the 0 < I < 1 mol dm 2 3 ionic strength range. In order to evaluate the salt effects on the formation constants of the complex species, and to contribute to the definition of the chemical speciation of diorganotin(IV) compounds in natural waters where carboxylic ligands are naturally present, interactions of NaCl (which is the major component of all natural fluids), with the components of the systems un…

Speciation of organotin compounds in NaCl aqueous solution: interaction of mono-, di- and tri-organotin(IV) cations with nucleotide 5′ monophosphates

2004

Formation constants for complex species of mono-, di- and tri-alkyltin(IV) cations with some nucleotide 5'-monophosphates (AMP, UMP, IMP and GMP) are reported, at T=25°C and at I = 0.16 mol 1 -1 (NaCI). The investigation was performed in the light of speciation of organometallic compounds in natural fluids in the presence of nucleotides whose biological importance is well recognized. The simple and mixed hydrolytic complex species formed in all the systems investigated in the pH range 3-9 are (L = nucleotide; M = organotin cation R x Sn (4-x)+ , with x = 1 to 3): ML + , ML(OH)° and ML(OH) 2 - for the system CH 3 Sn 3+ -L (L = AMP, IMP, UMP); ML 0 and ML(OH)-for the system (C 2 H 5 ) 2 Sn 2+…

Proteolytic cleavage of soybean Bowman-Birk inhibitor monitored by means of high-performance capillary electrophoresis. Implications for the mechanis…

1996

The hydrolysis of the soybean Bowman-Birk inhibitor in the presence of catalytic amounts of bovine trypsin and the formation of the non-covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex with an equimolar amount of enzyme are monitored by means of high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE). The inhibitor is cleaved in the trypsin-reactive and more slowly in the chymotrypsin-reactive subdomain. HPCE proves itself as the only reliable analytical tool to monitor these reactions in clear contrast to classical electrophoretic, chromatographic and enzymatic methods. The most efficient separation of the intact and the two active site cleaved forms of the inhibitor was achieved in borate buffer at pH 10.0. T…

Hydrolytic degradation of PLA/Posidonia Oceanica green composites: A simple model based on starting morpho-chemical properties

2021

Abstract In this work, we studied the degradability of PLA-based biocomposites containing Posidonia Oceanica flour at different loading levels and aspect ratios. Hydrolytic tests were carried out in neutral (pH = 7.4) and alkaline (pH = 10) environment. Time-dependent evolution of some key features, including residual mass and solution uptake, was monitored, and correlated with the changes observed in both morphology and chemical structure of the matrix. The results pointed out that biocomposites degraded much faster than neat PLA in both conditions, up to lose 70% of their initial weight after 1000 h immersion. A complex mechanism was unveiled, evidencing the crucial role of the fillers, c…

Interactions of organotins with biological systems

1992

The bonding and structure in the environments of tin atoms in organotin-biological molecules has been investigated by 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy, mainly through the rationalization of the nuclear quadrupole splitting parameter by pointcharge model approaches. Organotin moieties R2SnIV and R3SnIV (R = Me, nBu, Ph) generally assume trigonal-bipyramidal type configurations in membranes of human erythrocytes, when incubated with whole erythrocytes and erythrocyte ghosts at the level of micromolar (μmol dm−3) organotin per mg of membrane protein. Corresponding structures are assumed by Me2SnIV and Me3SnIV in the cytoplasm. Ethanolic Me2SnCl2 yielded distorted trans-octahedral species when reac…

The enzymatic mechanism of epoxide hydrolysis

Soluble oligoaramide precursors--a novel class of building blocks for rod-coil architectures.

2005

A new synthetic route is described that allows the reversible conversion of the inherently insoluble oligo-p-benzamides into soluble materials through the formation of imidoyl chlorides. Syntheses of the corresponding dimer, trimer, and tetramer are reported; these compounds can easily be purified by crystallization and are accessible on the multigram scale. Structural proof was obtained by single-crystal X-ray structures of the trimer and tetramer precursors. They can be selectively functionalized into amides or esters at the terminal carboxylic acid group followed by hydrolysis of the imidoyl chlorides to the parent amides. This new class of compounds gives access to strongly aggregating …

Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung, 45. Elektroreduktion aromatischer Carbonsäureester

1977

Bei der Elektroreduktion der Benzoesaureester 1 in Alkoholen an einer Quecksilberkathode mit quartare Ammoniumleitsalzen entsteht ein Gemisch von partiell kernhydrierten Reaktionsprodukten und Benzylalkohol (Tabelle 3). Elektroreduziert man jedoch in Gegenwart von Essigsaure, so wird die Kernhydrierung vollstandig unterdruckt und es entstehen ca. 70% Benzylalkohol (3) neben ca. 30% 1,2-Diphenylethylenglykol (9) als Hydrodimerem (Tabelle 4). Benzoesaure-phenylester (2h) wird nahezu ausschlieslich zu Benzylalkohol (3) elektroreduziert; Substituenten an der Benzoesaure (Verbindungen 2a-i) verandern diesen Reaktionsablauf nicht, wenn in Gegenwart von Essigsaure gearbeitet wird (Tabelle 8).Gleic…

Peptide p-nitrophenylanilides containing (E)-dehydrophenylalanine—synthesis, structural studies and evaluation of their activity towards cathepsin C

2006

Tetrapeptide p-nitroanilides containing (E)-dehydrophenylalanine were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors and substrates of cathepsin C. Peptides containing a free, unblocked amino group appeared to be quite good substrates of the enzyme, whereas fully protected peptides acted as very weak inhibitors. Structural studies by means of NMR and CD, alongside with molecular modelling, have proved that these peptides are hydrolysed in one step by direct removal of p-nitroaniline from the tetrapeptide.

Hemicellulose hydrolysis catalysed by solid acids

2013

Depolymerising hemicellulose into platform sugar molecules is a key step in developing the concept of an integrated biorefinery. This reaction is traditionally catalysed by either enzymes or homogeneous mineral acids. We compared various solid catalysts for hemicellulose hydrolysis, running reactions in water, under neutral pH and relatively mild temperature and pressure (120°C and 10 bar) conditions. Sulphonated resins are highly active, but they leach out sulphonic groups. Sulphonated silicas are less active, but more stable. They have weakly and strongly bound sites and the strongly bound ones do not leach. Zeolites are moderately active and stable. Among them, H-ferrierite especially, d…
