Selektive enzymatische Schutzgruppenabspaltungen: Der n-Heptylester als Carboxylschutzgruppe in der Peptidsynthese
1991
Selective Enzymatic Removal of Protecting Groups: n-Heptyl Esters as Carboxy Protecting Functions in Peptide Synthesis Amino acid heptyl (Hep) esters are accessible as generally crystalline hydro tosylates 3 from the amino acids by azeotropic esterification with 1-heptanol in high yields. They can be condensed with Z-, Boc-, and Aloc-protected amino acids to give the dipeptides 7–9 in the presence of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ). From the fully protected dipeptides the N-terminal protecting groups are cleaved by chemical methods without affecting the Hep esters. On the other hand, the heptyl esters can be hydrolyzed under mild conditions (pH = 7.0, 37°C) and with hi…
On the behaviour of the (Z)-Phenylhydrazones of some 5-alkyl-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles in solution and in the gas phase: kinetic and spectrometric …
2008
Abstract Rate constants, k A,R , for the rearrangement of the ( Z )-phenylhydrazones ( 1a – e ) of a series of 5-alkyl-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles substituted at C(5) with linear alkyl chains of different length (from C 4 up to C 12 ) into the relevant 4-acylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazoles ( 2a – e ) have been measured in dioxan/water in the base-catalyzed region (pS + 10.5–12.6). For each substrate log k A,R are linearly related to pS + . The significant decrease of the slopes of these straight lines (from 0.96 down to 0.78) upon increasing the length of the linear alkyl chain at C(5) and that of the reactivity (down to 14–26%) upon increasing the substrate concentration suggest a decr…
Pressure dependence in the methyl vinyl ketone + OH and methacrolein + OH oxidation reactions: an electronic structure study.
2005
High-level electronic structure calculations were carried out for the study of the reaction pathways in the OH-initiated oxidations of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR). For the two conformers of MVK (called synperiplanar and antiperiplanar), the addition channels of OH to the terminal and central carbon atom of the double bond dominate the overall rate constant, whereas the abstraction of the methyl hydrogen atoms has no significant kinetic role. In the case of MACR, only the antiperiplanar conformer is important in its reactivity. In addition, the lower Gibbs free energy barrier for MACR corresponds to the aldehydic hydrogen abstraction reaction, which will be somewhat mor…
Lithium enediolates and dienediolates of carboxylic acids in synthesis: Alkylation with secondary halides
1998
Abstract High yields in the alkylation of dianions of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with secondary halides can be obtained despite elimination reactions occurring. α-Regioselectivity for the alkylation of but-2-enoic acids ( 1–4 ) is seldom obtained. Although double bond stereoselectivity is higher than 99% for γ-alkylated products, stereoselectivity is rather poor for most of the α-alkylated products.
Asymmetric diastereodivergent Michael addition of 2-chloromalonate esters to conjugated imines enabled by catalyst metal change
2019
Despite recent progress in asymmetric diastereodivergent reactions leading to products bearing two stereogenic centers, little research has been devoted to processes were a stereogenic center and a double bond are formed. Here, we report the asymmetric diastereodivergent Michael addition of 2-chloromalonate esters to N-tosyl β,γ-unsaturated α-ketimino esters to give chiral α,β-dehydro-α-aminoesters bearing either a Z or E enamine moiety, using pyBOX-metal complexes. Diastereodivergency is achieved by simply changing the metal ion from a trivalent La(III) to a divalent Ca(II) ion, providing the Z or E enamines. Computational studies reveal the crucial role of London interactions between the …
1,2-Dipolar addition model for the cytoprotective activity of selected α,β-unsaturated compounds with CO functionality: an ab initio study
2001
Abstract The mechanism of the addition of a nucleophile (an alkylthiol group) to a double bond of α,β-unsaturated systems in the gas phase was explored. In this study, intermediates of the reaction were also investigated using ab initio calculations (RHF/6-31G ∗ and MP2/6-31+G ∗ ). Our results indicate that direct dipolar attack of the S–H group of an alkylthiol on the CC double bond is a reasonable reaction path. The present results represent, therefore, additional support for our hypothesis. This suggests that the mechanism of cytoprotection might be mediated, at least in part, by a reaction between the olefinic acceptor and the sulfhydryl-containing groups of the mucosa.
Synthesis of novel functionalized cispentacins through C–C oxidative cleavage of diendo-norbornene β-amino acid
2013
Difunctionalized cispentacin derivatives with two new stereogenic centres have been synthesized from a diendo-norbornene β-amino acid in a stereocontrolled route, involving C–C double bond functionalization by dihydroxylation, followed by oxidative ring cleavage and transformation of the dialdehyde intermediates through a Wittig reaction.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthetic Approaches to Antiinflammatory Macrolactones of the Oxacyclododecindione Type.
2015
A variety of attempts to synthesize oxacyclododecindione macrolactones through carbonylative ring-closure, intramolecular alkyne hydroacyalation, and Ru-catalyzed double bond isomerization fails.
Estimation of the density of the protocatechuate-degrading bacterial community in soil by real-time PCR
2008
Summary The β-ketoadipate pathway is the major route for degradation of aromatic compounds by various soil microorganisms. Protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, a key enzyme of this pathway and which is encoded by pcaGH genes, catalyses the ring cleavage of protocatechuate. Microorganisms harbouring pcaGH genes are widely distributed in the environment but little is known about their relative abundance within the total microflora. Hence, this paper reports the development of a real-time PCR assay to quantify the bacterial pcaH sequence that encodes the β sub-unit of the protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase. This real-time PCR assay was linear over seven orders of magnitude with a calculated efficienc…
A new C–C bond formation model based on the quantum chemical topology of electron density
2014
ELF topological analyses of bonding changes in non-polar, polar and ionic organic reactions involving the participation of CC(X) double bonds make it possible to establish a unified model for C–C bond formation. This model is characterised by a C-to-C coupling of two pseudoradical centers generated at the most significant atoms of the reacting molecules. The global electron density transfer process that takes place along polar and ionic reactions favours the creation of these pseudoradical centers at the most nucleophilic/electrophilic centers of the reacting molecules, decreasing activation energies. The proposed reactivity model based on the topological analysis of the changes in electron…
