Determination of the protein and free amino acid content in a sample using o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl-L-cysteine
1990
A spectrophotometric method is proposed for determining the protein content in a sample after total acid hydrolysis. In the procedure, free amino acids are caused to react with o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl-L-cysteine at pH 9.5, using isoleucine as the reference compound. Correction factors are used to take into account the differences between the molar absorptivities of the amino acid isoindoles and the recoveries of the amino acids after the hydrolysis treatment. The limit of detection was in the range 40-50 micrograms of protein, and the recoveries were usually 101 +/- 3% with a coefficient of variation lower than 4%. The free amino acid content in a partially hydrolysed protein was also…
Arynic species II
1986
Abstract o-Benzyne and its 4-methyl, 4-chloro and 4-bromo-derivatives were generated in the thermal decomposition of two new kinds of polymer-bound precursors: 1(2-carboxyaryl)triazenes and 2-carboxyaryl-sulphonates. New kinds of trapping polymers for these elusive species are also presented.
Stable 17-electron Mo(III) complexes containing alkyl ligands
1999
Abstract The alkylation of the half-sandwich complex CpMoCl 2 ( η 4 -diene) (diene=C 4 H 6 , 2,3-Me 2 C 4 H 4 ) affords the first thermally stable 17-electron compounds containing Mo(III)–alkyl bonds.
Application of Furan as a Diene: Preparation of Condensed 1,3-Oxazines by Retro-Diels−Alder Reactions
2004
(Di-exo-3-amino-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)methanol (3) was treated with oxo carboxylic acids [p-toluoylpropionic acid, cis- or trans-(p-toluoyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, -benzoic acid or methanobenzocyclooctenecarboxylic acid] to furnish the oxanorbornene-fused pyrrolo[1,3]oxazine 4, the isoindolo[1,3]oxazines 5 and 6, and the methanobenzocyclooctenepyrrolo[1,3]oxazine 10, together with the retro-Diels−Alder products pyrrolooxazinone 7, oxazinoisoindolones 8 and 9, and oxazinopyrrolobenzocyclooctene 11. On reflux in chlorobenzene, furan was released from the oxanorbornene heterocycles 5 and 10 to give the retro-Diels−Alder products. The structures of the new compounds were establi…
Stereoselective Total Synthesis of the Diastereomeric Tricyclic Alkaloids Tetraponerine-7 and Tetraponerine-8 Using O-Pivaloylated d-Arabinopyranosy…
2015
Based on a diastereoselective domino Mannich–Michael reaction cascade of 2- N -[( S )-3-{(benzyloxycarbonyl)[4-( tert -butyldiphenylsiloxy)butyl]amino}octylidene]-2,3,4-tri- O -pivaloyl-α- d -arabinopyranosylamine with the Danishefsky diene, the major component of the neurotoxic venom of the New Guinean ant Tetraponera punctulata , tetraponerine-8, and its diastereomer tetraponerine-7 were synthesized in pure form. While the Mannich reaction of the arabinosyl imine of the required ( S )-configured β-aminoaldehyde gave the 2-substituted piperidinone precursor of tetraponerine-8 with excellent diastereoselectivity, the analogous Mannich reaction of the ( R )-configured β-aminoaldehyde afforde…
Chemical gels of scleroglucan obtained by cross-linking with 1,w-dicarboxylic acids: Synthesis and characterization
2005
Chemical gels obtained by cross-linking reaction between scleroglucan and I, omega-dicarboxylic acids having a number of carbon atoms from 4 to 8 in the chain, have been prepared and characterised. The networks show properties correlated with the number of carbon atoms of the acid and with the molar ratio carboxylic acid/glucose unit of the polymer (r) employed in the cross-linking reaction. The diffusion of theophylline, chosen as model drug, through the swelled cross-linked polymers has been also investigated and it has enabled the diffusion coefficients of the drug to be calculated under different environmental conditions. The release profiles of theophylline from tablets prepared with t…
Photolysis of enol acetates and α-bromo derivatives ofo-(acyloxy)acetophenones
1985
UV irradiation of enol acetates 3a – g in benzene gives mainly o-(acetoxy)acetophenones 2 and 2-methylchromones 4. Under the same conditions, the dimethyl derivatives 3h and 3i remain unaffected. The α-bromo ketone 5a gives rise to mixtures of o-(acetoxy)acetophenone (2a), the diketone 6, and/or α-acetoxy-o-hydroxyacetophenone (7), depending on the irradiation conditions. The similarities and differences between the two series of experiments, as well as their possible mechanistic implications, are discussed. Photolyse von Enolacetaten und α-Bromderivaten von o-(Acyloxy)acetophenonen UV-Bestrahlung der Enolacetate 3a – g in Benzol liefert o-(Acetoxy)acetophenone 2 und 2-Methyl-chromone 4 als…
Modular Hemisyntheses of Boronato- and Trifluoroborato-SubstitutedL-NHBoc Amino Acid and Peptide Derivatives
2013
Modular hemisyntheses of boronato- and trifluoroborato-substituted amino acid and peptide derivatives by using Wittig and C–H iridium-catalyzed borylation as key reactions, are described. Amino ester precursors bearing an aromatic moiety on a lateral chain were prepared by reaction of a new L-NHBoc-amino acid Wittig reagent with the corresponding aromatic aldehydes. After esterification and hydrogenation, the borylation of amino esters was achieved with yields up to 82 % by using the catalysed reaction of bis(pinacolato) diborane reagent (B2Pin2) in the presence of an iridium complex. Interestingly, this iridium-catalyzed borylation was also performed with a dipeptide in 78 % yield. Finally…

1984
Condensation of amides of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)- and N-(trifluoroacetyl)amino acid with pyruvic and phenylpyruvic acid yields, in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst, N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)- and N-(trifluoroacetyl)dehydro dipeptides with C-terminal Δ Ala and ΔPhe, respectively (Table 2 and 3). Synthese von Peptiden mit α,β-Dehydroaminosauren, I. - Synthese von N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-und N-(Trifluoracetyl) dipeptiden von Dehydroalanin und Dehydrophenylalanin Die Kondensation von Nα-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)- und Nα-(Trifluoracetyl)aminosaureamiden mit Brenztrauben- und Phenylbrenztraubensaure in Gegenwart von p-Toluolsulfonsaure als Katalysator fuhrt zu N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)- und N-…
A three-component Mannich-type condensation leading to phosphinic dipeptides—extended transition state analogue inhibitors of aminopeptidases
2011
Abstract N-Protected α-aminoalkylphosphinic acids bearing a P–H function were found to be novel practical building blocks in three-component condensations with formaldehyde and secondary amines (amino acids). Such Mannich-type N -phosphonomethylation is a common approach for phosphorus acid derived substrates and leads to multifunctional (phosphonic/amino/carboxylic) compounds of diverse relevance. The utility of this reaction was examined for construction, in a single synthetic step, of advanced phosphinic pseudodipeptides designed to act as extended transition state analogue inhibitors of selected aminopeptidases. Phosphinomethylation of primary amino acids was less efficient and yielded …
