Synthesis of fluorinated allylic amines: Reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides with fluorinated imines
2007
A new synthesis of fluorinated allylamines through the reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides (as vinyl anion equivalents) with imines and imino esters has been described. The process includes a TBAF-mediated fragmentation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones to afford the desired allylic amines. When the reaction is performed with the corresponding sulfoxides, the fragmentation takes place under the addition conditions, affording the final products in a single step. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Estimation of formamide harmonic and anharmonic modes in the Kohn-Sham limit using the polarization consistent basis sets.
2010
Formamide harmonic and anharmonic frequencies of fundamental vibrations in the gas phase and in several solvents were successfully estimated in the B3LYP Kohn-Sham complete basis set limit (KS CBS). CBS results were obtained by extrapolating a power function (two-parameter formula) to the results calculated with polarization-consistent basis sets. Anharmonic corrections using the second order perturbation treatment (PT2) and hybrid B3LYP functional combined with polarization consistent pc-n (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and several Pople’s basis sets were analyzed for all fundamental formamide vibrational modes in the gas phase and solution. Solvent effects were modeled within a PCM method. The anhar…
RAB3GAP1 and RAB3GAP2 modulate basal and rapamycin-induced autophagy
2014
Macroautophagy is a degradative pathway that sequesters and transports cytosolic cargo in autophagosomes to lysosomes, and its deterioration affects intracellular proteostasis. Membrane dynamics accompanying autophagy are mostly elusive and depend on trafficking processes. RAB GTPase activating proteins (RABGAPs) are important factors for the coordination of cellular vesicle transport systems, and several TBC (TRE2-BUB2-CDC16) domain-containing RABGAPs are associated with autophagy. Employing C. elegans and human primary fibroblasts, we show that RAB3GAP1 and RAB3GAP2, which are components of the TBC domain-free RAB3GAP complex, influence protein aggregation and affect autophagy at basal an…
Synthesis of fluorinated oxadiazoles with gelation and oxygen storage ability
2012
A new family of fluorinated low molecular weight (LMW) gelators has been synthesized through SNAr substitution of 5-polyfluoroaryl-3-perfluoroheptyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with glycine ester. The obtained compounds give thermal and pH-sensitive hydrogels or thermo-reversible organogels in DMSO. Oxygen solubility studies showed the ability to maintain high oxygen levels in solution and in gel blend with plate counter agar (PCA).
Contact Sensitizers Specifically Increase MHC Class II Expression on Murine Immature Dendritic Cells
2000
Contact sensitivity is a T-cell-mediated immune disease that can occur when low-molecular-weight chemicals penetrate the skin. In vivo topical application of chemical sensitizers results in morphological modification of Langerhans cells (LC). Moreover, within 18 h, LC increase their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens expression and migrate to lymph nodes where they present the sensitizer to T lymphocytes. We wanted to determine if such an effect could also be observed in vitro. However, because of the high genetic diversity encountered in humans, assays were performed with dendritic cells (DC) obtained from a Balb/c mouse strain. The capacity of a strong sensitizer, DN…
Conformational mobility of thianthrene-5-oxide.
2005
[reaction: see text] Data on the apparent dipole moment of thianthrene-5-oxide (1) and (1)H NMR spectra in different solvents support the conformational mobility of 1, which flaps between two limit boat conformations with the sulfinyl group in pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial positions, respectively. The conformational equilibrium of 1 occurs too fast for the (1)H NMR (500 MHz) time-scale even at -130 degrees C, and the equilibrium constant has not been determined. The apparent dipole moments of 1 in n-hexane and 1,4-dioxane and the (1)H NMR spectra of 1 and the model compounds cis- and trans-thianthrene-5,10-dioxides (2) and thianthrene (5) in different solvents and at various temperatures…
Ethyl 5-amino-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate dimethyl sulfoxide hemisolvate
2012
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H13Cl3N4O2·0.5C2H6OS, contains two almost identical molecules and one dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6) solvent molecule. The pyrazole ring forms dihedral angles of 54.6 (4) and 80.0 (4)° in one molecule, and dihedral angles of 54.2 (4) and 81.2 (4)° in the other molecule, with the directly attached pyridine and trichlorophenyl rings, respectively. The dihedral angles of the pyridine and trichlorophenyl rings are 51.2 (4) and 52.0 (4)°, respectively. The crystal packing is characterized by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal is a nonmeroh…
Dinuclear alkoxo-bridged copper(II) coordination polymers: Syntheses, structural and magnetic properties
2010
Abstract The alkoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu2(ap)2(NO2)2] (1), [Cu2(ap)2(C6H5COO)2] (2) and [Cu2(ap)2μ-1,3-C6H4(COO)2(dmso)2]·dmso (3) (ap = 3-aminopropanolato and dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide) have been synthesized via self-assembly from copper(II) perchlorate, 3-aminopropanol as main chelating ligand and nitrite and isophthalate anions as spacers and benzoate anion as auxiliary ligand. Complexes 1 and 3 crystallize as 2D and 1D coordination polymers, respectively, and their structures consist of dinuclear [Cu2(ap)2]2+ units connected with nitrite and isophthalate ligands. The adjacent dinuclear units of 2 and 1D polymers of 3 are further connected by hydrogen bonds resultin…
Bio-based 1,3-diisobutyl imidazolium hydrogen oxalate [iBu 2 IM](HC 2 O 4 ) as CO 2 shuttle
2017
International audience; This manuscript describes the using of biosourced L-valine, oxalic acid and glyoxal to produce a biobased imidazolium hydrogen oxalate [iBu(2)IM](HC2O4) which is converted to its related hydrogen carbonate salt by a simple electrolysis without using strong base. The addition of weak protic acids to the latter compound leads to a rapid and quantitative CO2 release with formation of the starting hydrogen oxalate salt or a new halide free bio-based ionic liquid [iBu(2)IM](AcO) which is able to adsorb reversibly the CO2 at room temperature. The protonation reactions, combined with electrolysis, could then be a promising alternative solution for storage and transport of C…
Liver X Receptor Regulates Arachidonic Acid Distribution and Eicosanoid Release in Human Macrophages
2013
Objective— Liver X receptors (LXRs) are oxysterol-activated nuclear receptors that are highly expressed in macrophages and regulate lipid homeostasis and inflammation. Among putative LXR target genes, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3) involved in the Lands cycle controls the fatty acid composition at the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids and, therefore, the availability of fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid (AA), used for eicosanoid synthesis. The aim of our study was to determine whether LXRs could regulate the Lands cycle in human macrophages, to assess the consequences in terms of lipid composition and inflammatory response, and to work out the relative contribut…
