Über die kinetik und den mechanismus der biosynthese der cellulose in den höheren pflanzen (nach versuchen an den samenhaaren der baumwolle)
1966
Abstract The quantity of cellulose synthesized on growing cotton bolls and the corresponding degree of polymerisation have been measured as a function of time. It was found that the biosynthesis proceeds in two distinct stages, beginning with a slow process yielding the “primary” cellulose with a non-uniform degree of polymerisation of about 2000–6000 followed by a more rapid process yielding a large amount of “secondary cellulose” with a high and uniform degree of polymerisation of about 14000 (mol. wt. 2.3·106). During the second stage the degree of polymerisation is independent of time. It is shown that the two kinds of cellulose correspond to the primary and secondary cell wall. In orde…
A Bichromophore Based on Perylene and Terrylene for Energy Transfer Studies at the Single-Molecule Level
1999
A functionalized dialkylperylene and a modified terrylenetetracarboxdiimide (TTCDI) were joined by a hexanediyl spacer. The resulting bichromophoric molecule 1 (R = 4-tert-butylphenoxy) is a suitable model system for donor–acceptor energy transfer studies at the single-molecule level.
Tricks and Tracks in the Identification and Quantification of Endocannabinoids
2013
Abstract The endocannabinoid system serves pivotal roles in a diverse range of physiological and pathophysiological states, including behavior, pain, schizophrenia, obesity, Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular disease. A number of endocannabinoids (eCBs) and their receptors have been characterised and identified in a plethora of biological matrices. The eCBs include N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide), 2-arachidonoyl glycerol, 2-arachidonoyl glyceryl ether (noladin ether), O-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (virodhamine) and N-arachidonoyl dopamine. Advanced targeted mass spectrometry methods, particularly the selected reaction monitoring, has facilitated sensitive quanti…
Thermische Autoxydation und thermische Polymerisation des Styrols. Der Mechanismus der Startreaktion
1964
Die thermische Autoxydation des Styrols wurde bei verschiedenen Sauerstoffpartial drucken und in verschieden konzentrierten Losungen in Chlorbenzol mit Hilfe einer WARBURG-Apparatur gemessen. Aus den kinetischen Beziehungen folgt, das sich zuerst aus swei Styrolmolekulen ein Zwischenprodukt bildet, das von molekularem Sauerstoff unter Radikalbildung dehydriert wird. The thermal autoxidation of styrene was carried out in a WARBURG apparatus in different concentrations in chlorobenzene and under different partial pressures of oxygen. In consequence of the kinetic relations an intermediate is formed by two styrene molecules and this intermediate is dehydrated by molecular oxygen under the form…
Spectroscopic study of polynucleotides in cationic W/O microemulsions
2007
Water has an active and key role in determining the structure of DNA. Entrapment of DNA and of synthetic model polynucleotides in reverse micelles, where the water activity can easily be modulated, may be a useful way of assessing the influence of water on DNA characteristics; it may also offer useful ideas on the problem of how the giant DNA molecule can be confined in the limited space of cell nuclei. The quaternary microemulsion CTAB n-hexane|n-pentanol| water was used to entrap calf thymus DNA, and the model polynucleotides single-strand polyA, single-strand polyT and duplex polyAT. Ultraviolet spectros-copy, specifically the band at 260 nm, was used to compare the pairing of complement…
ChemInform Abstract: Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Ring-Opening of Strained Olefins Through C-H Activation of O-Acetyl Ketoximes: An Efficient Synthesis of …
2014
An efficient strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of functionalized cyclopentenes and spiro[2.4]heptenes from strained olefins via C–H activation of aryl ketone O-acetyl ketoximes using [RhCl2Cp∗]2 catalyst is described. The results revealed that a wide range of readily accessible aryl and heteroaryl ketoximes are compatible in this method for the ring opening of bicyclic and spirotricyclic olefins.
Multinuclear magnetic resonance study of 1,3,3-trimethylbicyclo [2.2.1]heptan-2-one (fenchone) oxime, its five monochloro derivatives and a dehydroch…
1991
Fenchone oxime, 5-exo-chlorofenchone oxime, 6-exo-chlorofenchone oxime, 7-anti-chlorofenchone oxime, 8-chlorofenchone oxime, 9-chlorofenchone oxime and a dehydrochlorination product of 10-chlorofenchone oxime were synthesized from fenchone and the corresponding chlorofenchones. The 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra of the oximes and the dehydrochlorination product were recorded. The NMR data were compared with the corresponding parameters obtained earlier for fenchone and monochlorofenchones in order to determine the differences between the carbonyl and oxime substituents from the NMR spectroscopic point of view, and to assign the stereochemistry of the oxime group. This stereochemistry could not…
Why Do Five-Membered Heterocyclic Compounds Sometimes Not Participate in Polar Diels–Alder Reactions?
2013
The reactions of bicyclic enone (BCE, 1) with cyclopentadiene (Cp, 2) and the five-membered heterocyclic compounds (FHCs) furan 3 and N-methyl pyrrole 4 for the construction of polycyclic heterocyclic compounds have been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. No reaction takes place in the absence of Lewis acid (LA) catalysts as a consequence of the high activation energy associated with these reactions. Electrophilic activation of BCE 1 by formation of a complex with the BF3 LA, 1-BF3, and solvent effects favor the reactions. However, a different reactivity is manifested by Cp 2 and FHCs 3 and 4. Thus, while the reaction of 1-BF3 with Cp 2 yields the expected exo [4 + 2] cycloadduct, the react…
Diels-Alder reactions of 1-phenylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones with alkynes: New functionalized carbazoles
1990
3-Indolylalkanoic acids 2 react with benzoic acid anhydride under catalysis of Et2O - ZnCl2 and mild conditions to furnish the 1-phenyl-substituted pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones 1c, 1d, and 3a, 3b. Products 1c, 1d, and 3b may be converted into the novel functionalized carbazoles 4 and 5 by reaction with acceptor-substituted alkynes.
Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. Part24. Pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinolinone by thermal rearrangement of a pyrrolylbenzotriazinone
1992
Rearrangement under acidic conditions of the pyrrolylbenzotriazinone 7 afforded the pyrrolylbenzamides 10 and 11. By thermal rearrangement instead, the first fully aromatic derivative of the pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline ring system 9 was obtained.
