Polysarcosine-containing copolymers: Synthesis, characterization, self-assembly, and applications

2018

Although the first polysarcosine (pSar) synthesis by Wesseley et al. was reported almost a century ago, it was only recently that pSar gained broader attention and is considered a potential alternative of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). In contrast to polyethers, such as PEG, pSar is a polypeptoid based on the amino acid sarcosine, i.e. N-methylated glycine. As a polymer, pSar combines PEG-like properties, e.g., excellent solubility in water, protein resistance, low cellular toxicity and a non-immunogenic character, while being based on endogenous material. Sarcosine can be obtained in a simple one-step reaction of bromoacetic acid and methylamine, easily transferred into the sarcosine N-(thio…

Diastereoselective Functionalization of a Spherand‐Type Calixarene

1994

Condensation of 5,5'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl (1) with formaldehyde yields a cyclic trimer 2 (and tetramer 3) having three (four) methylene groups less than a calix[6]arene (calix[8]arene). Alkylation of the (flexible) trimer with ethyl bromoacetate gives exclusively the stereoisomer 4 with C 2 symmetry, while the isomer with D 3 symmetry is not observed. Two isomers 6a and 6b (C 2 and C 1 symmetry) are obtained by treatment with tert-butyl bromoacetate which both are converted by transesterification with methanol into the same hexamethyl ester 5 having C 2 symmetry. These results are rationalized by restricted rotation around Ar-Ar bonds for larger O-alkyl groups also around Ar…

Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones by Treatment ofN-(Anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea with Bromoacetic Acid Derivatives

2002

The reaction between N-(anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea (1) and methyl bromoacetate yielded mainly 2-[(anthracen-9-yl)imino]-3-ethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (2), together with some of the regioisomeric 3-(anthracen-9-yl)-2-ethylimino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (3). The structures of the products were elucidated by NMR techniques and, for 3, X-ray crystallographic analysis. Treatment of 1 with bromoacetyl bromide again yielded 2 and 3, but with a reversed product distribution ratio, thus providing an interesting and unexpected regioselectivity, depending on the electrophile selected. The underlying cause of the observed regioselectivity is a result of different reaction pathways taken by the two e…

Preparation of potentially porous, chiral organometallic materials through spontaneous resolution of pincer palladium conformers.

2013

Understanding the mechanism by which advanced materials assemble is essential for the design of new materials with desired properties. Here, we report a method to form chiral, potentially porous materials through spontaneous resolution of conformers of a PCP pincer palladium complex ({2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]phenyl}palladium(II)halide). The crystallisation is controlled by weak hydrogen bonding giving rise to chiral qtz-nets and channel structures, as shown by 16 such crystal structures for X = Cl and Br with various solvents like pentane and bromobutane. The fourth ligand (in addition to the pincer ligand) on palladium plays a crucial role; the chloride and the bromide primaril…

'VA HAVER-HI UN TEMPS NO TAN LLUNYÀ...' RELATS I ESTÈTIQUES DE LA MEMÒRIA I IDEOLOGIA DE LA RECONCILIACIÓ A ESPANYA

2011

En la última década se han consolidado en España nuevos estilos culturales con los que representar el pasado reciente, en estrecha relación con la emergencia de los debates en torno a la llamada memoria histórica y con el desarrollo contemporáneo de las industrias culturales. Esos estilos han llegado a estandarizar una serie de procedimientos de composición y efectos textuales que permiten que el público los identifique con las estéticas de la memoria. El testimonio, como forma paraliteraria y discurso cívico, ha alcanzado un lugar de excepción en esa estandarización de las estéticas de memoria, pero su uso mecanizado ha privilegiado su rentabilidad dramática sobre su potencial crítico.

Recent developments and applications of the chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed allylboration of carbonyl compounds

2018

The 50-year-old allylboration reaction has seen dramatic developments since the dawn of the new century after the first catalytic asymmetric versions came into play. In the past decade alone, several methodologies capable of achieving the desired homoallylic alcohols in over 90% ee have been developed. This review focuses on the chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed allylboration reaction, covering everything from the very first examples and precedents to modern day variations and applications.1 Introduction2 Early Developments3 Synthetic Applications4 Variants5 Computational Contribution6 Conclusions

Systematic study of physicochemical properties of a homologous series of aminobisphosphonates

2012

Aminobisphosphonates, e.g., alendronate and neridronate, are a well known class of molecules used as drugs for various bone diseases. Although these molecules have been available for decades, a detailed understanding of their most important physicochemical properties under comparable conditions is lacking. In this study, ten aminobisphosphonates, H2N(CH2)nC(OH)[P(O)(OH)2]2, in which n = 2–5, 7–11 and 15 have been synthesized. Their aqueous solubility as a function of temperature and pH, pKa-values, thermal stability, IR absorptions, and NMR spectral data for bothliquid (1H, 13C, 31P-NMR) and solid state (13C, 15N and 31P-CPMAS NMR) were determined. peerReviewed

Strength Training Improves Metabolic Health Markers in Older Individual Regardless of Training Frequency

2019

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of frequency, thereby increasing training volume, of resistance training on body composition, inflammation markers, lipid and glycemic profile in healthy older individuals (age range 65-75 year). Ninety-two healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups; performing strength training one- (EX1), two- (EX2), or three- (EX3) times-per-week and a non-training control (CON) group. Whole-body strength training was performed using 2-5 sets and 4-12 repetitions per exercise and 7-9 exercises per session. All training groups attended supervised resistance training for 6 months. Body composition was measured by dua…
