Nitration of Wheat Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors Increases Their Innate and Adaptive Immunostimulatory Potential
2018
Amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATI) can be found in all gluten containing cereals and are, therefore, ingredient of basic foods like bread or pasta. In the gut ATI can mediate innate immunity via activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on immune cells residing in the lamina propria, promoting intestinal, as well as extra-intestinal, inflammation. Inflammatory conditions can induce formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and, thereby, endogenous protein nitration in the body. Moreover, air pollutants like ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can cause exogenous protein nitration in the environment. Both reaction pathways may lead to the nitration of ATI. To investigate if and how nitration mo…
ChemInform Abstract: A Catalytic Highly Enantioselective Direct Synthesis of 2-Bromo-2-nitroalkan-1-ols Through a Henry Reaction.
2009
Highly enantiomerically enriched 2-bromo-2-nitroalkan-1-ols are prepared by direct condensation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with bromonitromethane in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) acetate and a C1-symmetric camphor-derived amino pyridine ligand.
ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Addition of Nitromethane to 2-Acylpyridine N-Oxides. Expanding the Generation of Quaternary Stereocenters with …
2014
The direct asymmetric Henry reaction with prochiral ketones, leading to tertiary nitroaldols, is an elusive reaction so far limited to a reduced number of reactive substrates such as trifluoromethyl ketones or α-keto carbonyl compounds. Expanding the scope of this important reaction, the direct asymmetric addition of nitromethane to 2-acylpyridine N-oxides catalyzed by a BOX-Cu(II) complex to give the corresponding pyridine-derived tertiary nitroaldols having a quaternary stereogenic center with variable yields and good enantioselectivity, is described.
ChemInform Abstract: New Highly Asymmetric Henry Reaction Catalyzed by CuIIand a C1-Symmetric Aminopyridine Ligand, and Its Application to the Synthe…
2008
A new catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed that uses a C(1)-symmetric chiral aminopyridine ligand derived from camphor and picolylamine. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and unsaturated aldehydes react with nitromethane and other nitroalkanes in the presence of DIPEA (1.0 equiv), Cu(OAc)(2)*H(2)O (5 mol %), and an aminopyridine ligand (5 mol %) to give the expected products in high yields (up to 99 %), moderate-to-good diastereoselectivites (up to 82:18), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 %). The reaction is air-tolerant and has been used in the synthesis of the antifungal agent miconazole.
Synthesis and structure of tetrakis(tetramethylammonium) octacosachlorooctaantimonate(III) [(CH3)4N]4Sb8Cl28
2000
Abstract The reaction between antimony trichloride and tetramethylammonium chloride in nitromethane gives transparent, irregular crystals of tetrakis(tetramethylammonium) octacosachlorooctaantimonate(III) [(CH 3 ) 4 N] 4 Sb 8 Cl 28 . Crystals are triclinic, space group P-1, a =11.846(2), b =12.217(2), c=14.120(3) A , α =95.71(3), β =101.39(3), γ =118.59(3)°, V=1713.7(5) A 3 , Z =1, d c =2.193, d m =2.17(2) Mg m −3 . The structure contains a structurally novel Sb 8 Cl 28 4- anion. It is composed of eight deformed octahedra, connected with each other by faces. In cavities formed by inorganic sublattice are located two crystallographically nonequivalent tetramethylammonium cations. One of them…
Entropy of transfer of n-nitroalkanes from n-octane to water at 25�C
1984
Entropy of transfer of nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitrobutane, 1-nitropentane, and 1-nitrohexane from n-octane to water at 25°C is calculated using an electrostatic model. The calculations indicate that the electrostatic transfer entropy depends primarily on the dipole moment and the size of the-C−NO2 group, showing a trend which is similar to that previously found for the transfer free energy of the same process.
Catalytic activity of a CuGHK peptide-based porous material
2021
The CuGHK peptide-based porous material with a periodic distribution of pockets decorated with lysine side chain active sites was synthesized using a room temperature one-step method and used as a heterogeneous organocatalyst. The pockets are capable of benzaldehyde molecule uptake and show high activity in the Henry reaction with nitromethane. Mechanistic pathways are investigated using an integrative experimental/computational approach.
New phosphathiamacrocycles containing polypypiridine units
2006
Abstract A new 2,2′-bipyridine-based phosphadithiamacrocycle: 3,3′-5-phenyl-2,8-dithia-5-phospha[9]-2,2′-bipyridinophane (L) has been synthesized by reacting 6,6′-bis(bromomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine and dilithium 3-phenyl-3-phosphapenta-1,5-dithiolate. The phosphoryl derivative: 3,3′-5-oxo-5-phenyl-2,8-dithia-5-phospha[9]-2,2′-bipyridinophane (Lox) synthesized by direct oxidation of L at open atmosphere. Both compounds have been isolated as white solids containing different amounts of LiBr. The reaction of acetonitrile solutions of these solids with Fe(II) perchlorate gave the complexes [FeBr(L)](ClO4) · 2H2O and [FeBr(Lox)](ClO4) · 3H2O, which were crystallized as [FeBr(L)]Br · H2O and [ FeBr…

2012
Three novel heterobimetallic Re(IV) compounds of formulae [ReBr(4)(μ-ox)M(4,7-Cl(2)phen)(2)]·CH(3)CN·CH(3)NO(2) [M = Co(II) (1) and Ni(II) (2)] and [ReBr(4)(ox)](3)[Co(III)(5,6-dmphen)(3)](2)·CH(3)CN·2CH(3)NO(2)·4H(2)O (3) [ox = oxalate, 4,7-Cl(2)phen = 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline and 5,6-dmphen = 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline] have been synthesised and the structures of 1 and 3 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is an oxalato-bridged Re(IV)Co(II) heterodinuclear complex where the [ReBr(4)(ox)](2-) unit acts as a bidentate ligand towards the [Co(4,7-Cl(2)phen)(2)](2+) entity, the separation between Re(IV) and Co(II) across the oxalate being 5.482(1) Å. Compou…
Enantioselective addition of nitromethane to α-keto esters catalyzed by copper(ii)–iminopyridine complexes
2008
The copper complex of a chiral iminopyridine easily prepared from (R)-(-)-fenchone and picolylamine catalyzes the enantioselective Henry (nitroaldol) reaction between nitromethane and alpha-keto esters. Good yields and modest to good enantioselectivities are obtained for a wide range of alpha-keto esters, bearing aromatic, alkyl or alkenyl groups attached to the ketone carbonyl group.
