N-Glycosyl Amides as Glycosyl Donors in Stereoselective Glycosylation Reactions
2004
Due to their high stability, N-glycosyl amides have so far not been considered as glycosyl donors for glycosylation reactions. Two new procedures for the cleavage of the anomeric amide functionality under mild reaction conditions and further stereoselective in situ conversions of the activated glycosyl donors with alcohols and amines to give β-configured O- and N-glycosides are described in this article.
Karen Knorr, le faux et les variations d'une fabuliste
2012
Dans sa serie de photographies, Fables (2003-2009), Karen Knorr place sa demarche sous le signe du faux et de la fiction, par un jeu de references culturelles et de dispositifs procedant de la mise en scene, du montage et de la narration. Dans des environnements museographiques ou des espaces patrimoniaux reputes et aisement identifiables, qui sont de somptueuses demeures d’Ancien Regime ou de froides architectures modernes, la photographe provoque l’irruption improbable d’un bestiaire sauvage suscitant l’amusement ou l’inquietude. Dans chacune de ses compositions jouant avec la veracite pretee a l’image photographique, Karen Knorr cree une confrontation entre culture et nature, dont l’arti…
A new method of anomeric protection and activation based on the conversion of glycosyl azides into glycosyl fluorides
1993
Glycosyl azides provide reliable anomeric protection stable to conditions for hydrolytic removal of ester groups, for reductive opening or release of acetalic diol protection, for the introduction of ether-type protection, and for glycosylation processes. The utility of this anomeric protection is further enhanced as glycosyl azides may be converted into glycosyl fluorides, which can be activated for glycosylation reactions. To this end, glycosyl azides have been subjected to 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with di-tert-butyl acetylenedicarboxylate. On treatment with hydrogen fluoride-pyridine complex the N-glycosyl triazole derivatives directly give glycosyl fluorides.
Convenient Synthesis of Biologically Important Retinoids
1995
The toxic and teratogenic effects caused by the highly biologically active (all-E)-retinoic acid and its derivatives prompted us to synthesize a number of retinoids. We developed synthetic approaches to (all-E)-retinyl β-D-glucuronide 3, methyl (retinoyl β-D-glucopyranoside)uronate 5, (all-E)-retinoic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester 8 and (all-E)-retinoyl β-D-glucuronide 6 in high purity and yield. Compound 3 was synthesized under Koenigs-Knorr conditions from (all-E)-retinol and an α-halogenose. Compounds 5 and 8 were prepared by esterification of a silver salt of (all-E)-retinoic acid with an α-glycosyl halide in pyridine. (all-E)-Retinoyl β-D-glucuronide 6 was prepared by reaction of (all-…
(Table 1) Sea surface temperature reconstruction for eastern equatorial Pacific surface sediment samples
2012
Significant uncertainties persist in the reconstruction of past sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific, especially regarding the amplitude of the glacial cooling and the details of the post-glacial warming. Here we present the first regional calibration of alkenone unsaturation in surface sediments versus mean annual sea surface temperatures (maSST). Based on 81 new and 48 previously published data points, it is shown that open ocean samples conform to established global regressions of Uk'37 versus maSST and that there is no systematic bias from seasonality in the production or export of alkenones, or from surface ocean nutrient concentrations or salinity. The flattening…
