Polystyrene-supported proline and prolinamide. Versatile heterogeneous organocatalysts both for asymmetric aldol reaction in water and α-selenenylati…
2007
A simple and efficient synthesis of polystyrene-supported proline and prolinamide has been carried out. Polystyrene-supported proline has been used as organocatalyst in the asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and substituted benzaldehydes in water without any additive. High yields, diastereoselectivities and ee values have been observed. The versatility of this resin was demonstrated in the α-selenenylation of aldehydes. Both proline and prolinamide resins gave high yields. Recycling studies showed that the proline resin gave better results than prolinamide resin.
Selective oxidation of C3–C4 olefins over Mo-containing catalysts with tetragonal tungsten bronze structure
2009
Abstract Mo–V–Nb–P–O-based catalysts with a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type (TTB) structure have been prepared hydrothemally from a H 3 PMo 12 O 40 Keggin-type heteropolyacid. These catalysts have been tested in the oxidation of C 3 –C 4 olefins (propene, isobutene and 1-butene). Although the catalytic performance depends on the nature of the olefin fed the TTB-type catalysts prepared in the presence of elements of the V and VI groups such as Te, Sb and Bi have shown a high selectivity to partial oxidation products, especially that with Te. However, in the absence of these elements the TTB-catalysts present a high catalytic activity to deep oxidation. The selectivity to partial oxidation pr…
Proteome-Wide Characterization of the RNA-Binding Protein RALY-Interactome Using the in Vivo-Biotinylation-Pulldown-Quant (iBioPQ) Approach
2013
RALY is a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, a family of RNA-binding proteins generally involved in many processes of mRNA metabolism. No quantitative proteomic analysis of RALY-containing ribonucleoparticles (RNPs) has been performed so far, and the biological role of RALY remains elusive. Here, we present a workflow for the characterization of RALY's interaction partners, termed iBioPQ, that involves in vivo biotinylation of biotin acceptor peptide (BAP)-fused protein in the presence of the prokaryotic biotin holoenzyme synthetase of BirA so that it can be purified using streptavidin-coated magnetic beads, circumventing the need for specific antibodies and providing e…
Proteomic identification of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K as irradiation responsive protein related to migration
2014
Abstract Irradiation resistance is a major obstacle of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) therapy, limiting treatment success and patient survival. The aim of our experiments was to identify irradiation-regulated proteins as potential drug targets. Two established HNSCC cell lines (HNSCCUM-01T and HNSCCUM-02T) were treated with a single 8 Gy (Gray) fraction of irradiation. Changes in cellular protein expression were studied after 24 h by means of 2D-electrophoresis and MALDI–TOF-mass spectrometry. Ninety-four differentially expressed proteins were identified. The expression levels of four proteins were regulated similarly in both cell lines after irradiation treatment, i.e., GRP7…
Psicopatología de las compulsiones de lavado en el trastorno obsesivocompulsivo: no todos los pacientes lavan por los mismos motivos
2016
Abstract: Psychopathology of washing compulsions in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Not all patients wash for the same reasons. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous disorder in terms of the contents of obsessions and compulsions. Washing, being one of the most frequent compulsion modalities, has been associated with different variables such as: physical or mental contamination fears, fears associated with negative affect (including disgust) and the loss of control, a high level of perfectionism, or the avoidance of a sense of dirtiness or incompleteness. In this study, these variables are examined through the descriptive analysis of the psychopathological symptoms and tr…
Asset Return Dynamics under Alternative Learning Schemes
2009
In this paper we design an artificial financial market where endogenous volatility is created assigning to the agents diverse prior beliefs about the joint distribution of returns, and, over time, making agents rationally update their beliefs using common public information. We analyze the asset price dynamics generated under two learning environments: one where agents assume that the joint distribution of returns is IID, and another where agents believe in the existence of regimes in the joint distribution of asset returns. We show that the regime switching learning structure can generate all the most common stylized facts of financial markets: fat tails and long-range dependence in volati…
Carbocatalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenative Couplings of (Hetero)Aryls by Oxidized Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Phase
2019
HNO3-oxidized carbon nanotubes catalyze oxidative dehydrogenative (ODH) carbon-carbon bond formation between electron-rich (hetero)aryls with O-2 as a terminal oxidant. The recyclable carbocatalytic method provides a convenient and an operationally easy synthetic protocol for accessing various benzofused homodimers, biaryls, triphenylenes, and related benzofused heteroaryls that are highly useful frameworks for material chemistry applications. Carbonyls/quinones are the catalytically active site of the carbocatalyst as indicated by model compounds and titration experiments. Further investigations of the reaction mechanism with a combination of experimental and DFT methods support the compet…
Hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene rich feedstocks: Comparison between palladium catalysts supported on pumice and alumina
1998
Abstract The activity–selectivity patterns of Pd/pumice catalysts are compared with industrial and home prepared Pd/Al2O3 catalysts in the hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene rich feedstocks (front-end and tail-end cuts). The iso-kinetic relationship (IKR) approach and a new mathematical model, surface site evolution model (SSEM), are employed in this comparison. Pumice and alumina supported Pd catalysts show different metal redox properties. A similar reaction mechanism is adequate to describe the reaction pathway independently by the catalysts and the gas mixtures considered. This mechanism involves the formation of surface polymers during the catalytic reactions and different catalyti…
Pd/C-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Enals and Enones with Triethylsilane: Conformer Populations Control the Stereoselectivity
2016
The palladium-on-charcoal-catalyzed chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective 1,4-hydrosilylation and transfer hydrogenation reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones with triethylsilane have been investigated with a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. The reaction mechanism has been studied experimentally by monitoring the reactions by 1H NMR from aliquots withdrawn from the stirred reaction mixtures, labeling experiments, and control experiments. Our density functional theory results indicate that both aforementioned reactions are initiated with a dissociative adsorption of the triethylsilane on the palladium catalyst. In the hydrosilylation reaction, the α,β-unsaturat…
Unraveling the Role of the Rh–ZrO2 Interface in the Water–Gas-Shift Reaction via a First-Principles Microkinetic Study
2018
The industrially important water–gas-shift (WGS) reaction is a complex network of competing elementary reactions in which the catalyst is a multicomponent system consisting of distinct domains. Herein, we have combined density functional theory calculations with microkinetic modeling to explore the active phase, kinetics, and reaction mechanism of the WGS over the Rh–ZrO2 interface. We have explicitly considered the support and metal and their interface and find that the Rh–ZrO2 interface is far more active toward WGS than Rh(111) facets, which are susceptible to CO poisoning. CO2 forming on the zirconia support rapidly transforms into formate. These findings demonstrate the central role of…
