Ortho-Metalated Primary Amines. 6.1 The First Synthesis of Six-Membered Palladacycles from Primary Amines Containing Electron-Withdrawing Substituent…
2003
When H 2 N(CH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 4 OMe-4 (RNH 2 ) and Pd(OAc) 2 are reacted in a 2:1 molar ratio, the complex [Pd(OAC) 2 (NH 2 R) 2 ] (1) is obtained. Complex 1 reacts with 1 equiv of Pd(OAc) 2 to give the dinuclear complex [Pd(OAc)(μ-OAc)(NH 2 R)] 2 (2). When complex 2 is heated in acetonitrile at 80 °C, the ortho-metalated complex [Pd{C 6 H 3 (CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 -2-OMe-5-κ 2 C,N}(μ-OAc)] 2 (3a) is obtained. Complex 3a is also prepared by refluxing RNH 2 and Pd(OAc) 2 in a 1:1 molar ratio in acetonitrile. Complex 3a reacts with NaBr or LiCl to afford the complexes [Pd{C 6 H 3 (CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 -2-OMe-5-κ 2 C,N}(μ-X)]2 (X = Cl (3b), Br (3c)). PPh 3 splits the acetate or halide bridge in complex 3a or 3b t…
Chemically driven phase separation in black lipid membranes and its coupling to membrane functions
1992
Abstract We analysed the single-channel current fluctuations of gramicidin in bimolecular lipid membranes in order to demonstrate (i) the influence of protein binding to the lateral organisation of a mixed membrane, and (ii) how this couples to the function of the ionophore. Examples of phase separations induced by synthetic polyelectrolytes, as models for peripheral membrane proteins, and specific ligand-receptor interactions are presented and discussed in view of the important lateral order-function relationship in biomembranes.
Hyper-Rayleigh scattering and two-photon luminescence of phenylamine- indandione chromophores
2012
Based on results of quantum chemical (QC) screening, we put under research several phenylamine indane-1,3-dione derivatives including octupolar NLO chromophore A3BI. According to these calculations, molecular first hyperpolarizability (βHRS) should be enhanced upon replacement of methyl substituents with phenyl groups. Surprisingly, βHRS values obtained in our measurements by hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) are much higher than one could expect from QC. Bearing in mind that two-photon luminescence (TPL) is usual cause for overestimation of βHRS in HRS measurements, we have accomplished investigations of TPL properties of these compounds. All investigated triphenylamine derivatives exhibit s…
11H‑Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2‑c]cinnoline and Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2‑c][1,2,3]benzotriazine: Two New Ring Systems with Antitumor Activity
2014
Derivatives of new ring systems 11H-pyrido[3',2':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-c]cinnoline and pyrido[3',2':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,2,3]benzotriazine have been prepared from the key intermediates 2-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)anilines in excellent yields (94-99%) and screened by the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD) on about 60 human tumor cell lines derived from nine cancer cell types. The tested compounds exhibited antiproliferative activity against all the human cell lines, showing comparable MG_MID (mean graph midpoint) values in the range of 0.74-1.15 μM. A particular efficacy was observed against the leukemia subpanel (GI50 = 0.73-0.0090 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle demons…
Two fungal lanostane derivatives as phospholipase A2 inhibitors.
1996
The hydroalcoholic extract of Poria cocos and two lanostane derivatives isolated from it, pachymic acid (1) and dehydrotumulosic acid (2), were active as inhibitors of phospholipase A2 from snake venom when a polarographic method was used. Dehydrotumulosic acid exhibited an IC50 of 0.845 mM. These two compounds are structurally related to certain triterpenoids from Ganoderma and Schinus that have previously been described as competitive inhibitors of phospholipase A2. These comprise a new group of natural potential antiinflammatory agents due to their interaction with that enzyme.
Superexchange-mediated electronic energy transfer in a model dyad
2010
On the basis of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations coupled to the polarizable continuum model (PCM) and single molecule spectroscopic studies, we provide a detailed investigation of excitation energy transfer within a model bi-chromophoric system where a perylene monoimide (PMI) donor is bridged to a terrylene diimide (TDI) acceptor through a ladder-type pentaphenylene (pPh) spacer. We find that the electronic excitation on the PMI donor significantly extends over the bridge giving rise to a partial charge transfer character and inducing a approximately 3-fold increase in the electronic interaction between the chromophores, which explains the failure of the Först…
Lewis Acid Mediated Domino Reaction between 2-Cyclohexenone and Methyl Azide - A DFT Study
2005
We have studied the Lewis acid mediated domino reaction between 2-cyclohexenone and methyl azide at the B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31+G**//B3LYP/6-31G* levels of theory. A complete survey of the potential energy surface is presented, and the structures of the stationary points and the corresponding molecular mechanism are discussed. The calculations suggest that the product, a cyclopentanone derivative, is formed by means of a domino process that comprises three consecutive reactions. The first and rate-limiting step is a concerted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between the Lewis acid coordinated cyclohexenone and methyl azide that yields the corresponding bicyclic 1,2,3-triazoline. The second rea…
A density functional theory study of the regio- and stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-methyl substituted pyrazinium-3-olates wi…
2013
Abstract A DFT [B3LYP/6-31G(d)] study was carried out on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of multi C-methyl substituted pyrazinium-3-olates with methyl acrylate (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the possible endo/exo stereoisomeric and 6-ester/7-ester regioisomeric pathways have been determined. The skeleton rearrangement of the 6-exo [3 + 2] cycloadducts into the [4 + 2] adducts is also considered. The electrophilic, P k + , and nucleophilic, P k - , Parr functions are used to have better understanding of the regioselectivity of these 13DC reactions. In all cases the exo pathways are more favourable compared to the endo alternatives. …
Dual Substituent Parameter Modeling of Theoretical, NMR and IR Spectral Data of 5-Substituted Indole-2,3-diones
2002
Correlations of AM1 and PM3 theoretical data, 13C-NMR substituent chemical shifts (13C-SCS) and IR carbonyl group wave numbers [ν(C3â•ÂO)] were studied using dual substituent parameter (DSP) models for 5-substituted indole-2,3-diones. For the C7 atom a reverse substituent effect attributed to extended À-polarization was observed. On the other hand, the DSP approaches for the C3 atom showed normal substituent effects with some contribution of reverse effect supported strongly by 13C-SCS correlations. In the ν(C3â•ÂO) and p(C3â•ÂO) DSP correlations the field effect contribution predominates over the resonance effect, which justifies the using of earlier suggested vibrational cou…
endo-Functionalized molecular tubes : selective encapsulation of neutral molecules in non-polar media
2016
Four endo-functionalized molecular tubes with urea/thiourea groups in the deep cavities have been synthesized, and their binding ability to neutral molecules studied. Very high binding affinity and selectivity have been achieved, which are rationalized by invoking the shape and electrostatic complementarity and dipole alignment.
