ChemInform Abstract: Studies on the Biosynthesis of Paraherquamide. Construction of the Amino Acid Framework.
2010
Abstract It has been previously established in this laboratory that the β-methyl-β-hydroxyproline moiety of the potent anthelmintic agent paraherquamide A, is biosynthetically derived from l -isoleucine. The downstream events from l -Ile to paraherquamide A have now been investigated. The synthesis of [1- 13 C]-labeled l -β-methylproline is described by means of a Hoffman–Loeffler–Freytag reaction sequence from [1- 13 C]- l -Ile. This amino acid is shown to be a direct biosynthetic precursor to paraherquamide A by feeding and incorporation experiments in growing cultures of Penicillium fellutanum . Three tryptophan-containing dipeptides of l -β-methylproline have been constructed: [ 13 C 2 …
Predominance of 2-arylhydrazones of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,2,3-trione over its proton-transfer products
2001
2-Phenylhydrazones of 1,3-diphenyl-1,2,3-trione are the dominant tautomeric form detected in chloroform solution by 15N NMR chemical shifts. The substituent in the phenylhydrazone moiety does not affect this tautomeric preference. The substituent effect is transmitted effectively only to the hydrazone nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Ab initio calculations show that the ketohydrazone tautomer is really very much favoured over its proton-transfer products in chloroform solution. The same tautomer was also detected in the crystal state by X-ray crystallography. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Single-pump bi-dimensional LC applied to the characterization of derivatized fatty alcohol ethoxylates.
2010
A column selection valve and a 6-port 2-position injection valve were combined to implement bi-dimensional LC in a system driven by a single pump. The system was applied to the separation of linear fatty alcohol ethoxylates with 12-18 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon moiety, previous derivatization with diphenic anhydride. Separation on the first separation dimension (C(1)) was carried out with a propyl-diol column and an acetonitrile/aqueous ammonium acetate gradient. Fatty alcohol ethoxylate hydrocarbon series (oligomers with the same number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain but differing in the number of ethylene oxide units) were resolved without distinguishing the oligomers within the …
Stereochemistry of terpene derivatives. Part 4:☆ Fragrant terpenoid derivatives with an unsaturated gem-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexane system
2005
Abstract Starting from (+)-3-carene 1 several chiral fragrant compounds with the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane system 4–6 and 10–20 were synthesized. These compounds are structural analogues of naturally occurring fragrant compounds, such as ionones and damascones, and possess either an endo- or an exo-cyclic double bond in the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane moiety. The absolute configuration of selected products was confirmed by X-ray crystallography and circular dichroism analysis.
Amphiphilic derivatives of a polyaspartamide: their aggregation and solubilization ability
2006
Abstract The self-aggregation and solubilization capability of a series of amphiphilic copolymers obtained by derivatisation of polymeric chain of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)- dl -aspartamide (PHEA) with polyethylene glycols (PEG, being different molecular weight 2000 or 5000 Da, PEG2000 and PEG5000, respectively) and/or hexadecylamine alkyl chain (C16), namely PHEA–PEG2000, PHEA–PEG5000, PHEA–C16, PHEA–PEG2000–C16 and PHEA–PEG5000–C16, have been evidenced by performing systematic tensiometric and spectrophotometric studies. All measurements have been performed at 25.0 °C over a wide copolymer concentration range. The tensiometric results have shown that, for all copolymers studied, the surf…
Synthesis and Characterization of a New Class of Fully Aromatic Liquid Crystal Polymers
1999
Abstract A new fully aromatic LCP, obtained by polycondensation of N-(4-carboxyphenyl) trimellitimide and tert-butyl hydroquinone (FAPT), was previously described. The polymer shows very interesting physical and mechanical properties but a very high glass transition temperature which does not allow a good processability. In order to overcome this problem, a new class of LCPs, obtained by partial substitution of the dicarboxylic moiety with isophthalic acid, is described. The new thermoplastic materials were characterized from the physicochemical and mechanical point of view. All the polymers obtained with an isophthalic acid (FA-IA) content varying from 10 to 40% of the substituted moiety s…
Controlling the electronic properties of polythiophene through the insertion of nonaromatic thienyl S,S-dioxide units
1999
A new class of thiophene-based polymers characterized by the presence of one nonaromatic thienyl S,S-dioxide moiety (O) to every two, four, and six aromatic thienyl units (T) was prepared from the newly synthesized precursors TOT, TTOTT, and TTTOTTT, and electrochemically characterized. The polymers displayed remarkably greater electron affinities than that of polythiophene and could be reversibly n-doped at moderate potentials, while still maintaining the property of also being p-doped at moderate potential values. All polymers were characterized by good p-doping/undoping cyclability, while at least four aromatic units to every nonaromatic one were needed to ensure good n-doping/undoping c…
The 2-oxoglutarate binding site of prolyl 4-hydroxylase. Identification of distinct subsites and evidence for 2-oxoglutarate decarboxylation in a lig…
1984
The structure and function of the 2-oxoglutarate binding site of prolyl 4-hydroxylase was studied by assaying the inhibitory potential of 24 selected aliphatic or aromatic compounds. All except one of them inhibited the enzyme competitively with respect to 2-oxoglutarate and noncompetitively with respect to Fe2+, the Ki values ranging from 0.8 microM to over 15 mM. The Ki values for the two most effective inhibitors, pyridine 2,5-dicarboxylate and 2,4-dicarboxylate, were about 0.8 microM and 2 microM, these compounds being the most potent inhibitors of prolyl 4-hydroxylase with respect to 2-oxoglutarate known so far. Only one of the compounds tested, 2-oxoadipinate, was able to support hydr…
ChemInform Abstract: Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cycloaddition of Allenamides with α,β-Unsaturated Hydrazones: Efficient Access to Highly Substi…
2015
α,β-Unsaturated N,N-dialkyl hydrazones undergo a mild [2 + 2] cycloaddition to allenamides when treated with a suitable gold catalyst. The method, which represents the first application of N,N-dialkyl hydrazones in gold catalysis, is compatible with a wide variety of substituents at the alkenyl moiety of the hydrazone component, proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity, and provides densely substituted cyclobutanes with good to excellent yields.
Preparation and Structures of Isoindolone- or Pyrimidone-Condensed Heterocycles Containing a Hydroxy Group on a Cyclohexane or Norbornane Moiety
2009
With DL-valinol, 3-amino-1-propanol and o-aminothiophenol, aroyl(bi/tri)cyclic lactones 1 and 2 were cy- clized to isoindole- 4-6, 8, 9, pyrimidinone- 10 or thiazepine- 7 condensed heterocycles. The ketal lactone 3 furnished the benzthiazoloisoindole 9 and mixtures of epimeric hydroxyphthalazinoquinazolinones 11 and 12. The structures were es- tablished by means of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and in some cases by X-ray crystallography.
