Aminomethyl-Substituted Ferrocenes and Derivatives: Straightforward Synthetic Routes, Structural Characterization, and Electrochemical Analysis
2013
A variety of aminomethyl-substituted ferrocenes and the parent compounds (iminomethyl)ferrocenes, azaferrocenophanes, and diferrocenylamines can be selectively synthesized from reductive amination of 1,1′-diformylferrocene or formylferrocene. The optimized one- or two-step reactions have delivered 13 new compounds, isolated in 65–97% yields, which include tertiary (ferrocenylmethyl)amines and azaferrocenophanes by using NaBH(OAc)3 as a mild reducing agent and (iminomethyl)ferrocenes and secondary (ferrocenylmethyl)amines by using LiAlH4. X-ray structures of representative members of these ferrocene derivative families have evidenced the preferred conformation adopted by ferrocene backbones,…
Pyrrolidine in Drug Discovery: A Versatile Scaffold for Novel Biologically Active Compounds
2021
AbstractThe five-membered pyrrolidine ring is one of the nitrogen heterocycles used widely by medicinal chemists to obtain compounds for the treatment of human diseases. The great interest in this saturated scaffold is enhanced by (1) the possibility to efficiently explore the pharmacophore space due to sp3-hybridization, (2) the contribution to the stereochemistry of the molecule, (3) and the increased three-dimensional (3D) coverage due to the non-planarity of the ring—a phenomenon called “pseudorotation”. In this review, we report bioactive molecules with target selectivity characterized by the pyrrolidine ring and its derivatives, including pyrrolizines, pyrrolidine-2-one, pyrrolidine-2…

Comparison of linear and hyperbranched polyether lipids for liposome shielding by 18F-radiolabeling and positron emission tomography
2018
Multifunctional and highly biocompatible polyether structures play a key role in shielding liposomes from degradation in the bloodstream, providing also multiple functional groups for further attachment of targeting moieties. In this work hyperbranched polyglycerol (hbPG) bearing lipids with long alkyl chain anchor are evaluated with respect to steric stabilization of liposomes. The branched polyether lipids possess a hydrophobic bis(hexadecyl)glycerol membrane anchor for the liposomal membrane. hbPG was chosen as a multifunctional alternative to PEG, enabling the eventual linkage of multiple targeting vectors. Different hbPG lipids (Mn = 2900 and 5200 g mol-1) were examined. A linear bis(h…
ChemInform Abstract: nBuLi-Mediated Hydrophosphination: A Simple Route to Valuable Organophosphorus Compounds.
2010
A straightforward synthesis of homoallyl- and allylphosphanes has been developed using nBuLi-mediated hydrophosphination of conjugated dienes. In all the cases the phosphorus atom of the reacting phosphane attacked the sterically less demanding side of the diene exclusively. In addition, high regioselectivities towards 1,2- or 1,4-addition products were observed depending on the nature of the dienes. This hydrophosphination reaction was extended to a variety of substrates such as styrene derivatives, alkynes and 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene. The structures of three hydrophosphination products were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.
Performances of symmetrical achiral ferrocenylphosphine ligands in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions: A review of syntheses, catalytic app…
2007
Abstract Ferrocene derivatives bearing donor atoms led to the generation of several classes of metallo-ligands, which collectively show an impressive diversity of applications, especially in metal-catalyzed modern organic reactions. Based on the impetus provided by the use of the diphosphine 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) the investigations directed towards the synthesis of new ferrocenylphosphines remain of fundamental and industrial interest. The present review aims to describe the performances in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of symmetrical achiral ferrocenylphosphine ligands, mainly diphosphines. We specifically choose to restrict our review efforts to these …
Bond-based 3D-chiral linear indices: Theory and QSAR applications to central chirality codification
2008
The recently introduced non-stochastic and stochastic bond-based linear indices are been generalized to codify chemical structure information for chiral drugs, making use of a trigonometric 3D-chirality correction factor. These improved modified descriptors are applied to several well-known data sets to validate each one of them. Particularly, Cramer's steroid data set has become a benchmark for the assessment of novel quantitative structure activity relationship methods. This data set has been used by several researchers using 3D-QSAR approaches such as Comparative Molecular Field Analysis, Molecular Quantum Similarity Measures, Comparative Molecular Moment Analysis, E-state, Mapping Prope…
Surface functionalization and surface recognition: Plasmon optical detection of molecular recognition at self assembled monolayers
1991
The synthesis of biotin- functionalized organic mercaptans and their chemisorption on gold surfaces is described. Biotin bound covalently to self assembled monolayers is recognized by streptavidin from aqueous buffer solutions. Spacer length and packing density of the biotin labels on the organic surface determine the docking kinetics. With a flexible and hydrophilic spacer very fast -diffusion controlled-docking is observed. As an alternative method of self assembly the spreading of organic mercaptans on water surfaces is established. Pressure-area diagrams of different functionalized mercaptans and disulfides are shown and their monolayer properties are discussed.
Specific Protein Binding to Functionalized Interfaces
1992
We report on the characterization of specific binding reactions between streptavidin and biotinylated model membrane surfaces. Self-assembly techniques as well as the Langmuir-Blodgett-Kuhn method were employed to prepare reactive, functionalized surfaces on various solid supports in contact with the aqueous protein solution. Plasmon surface polaritons optical measurements as well as atomic force microscopy and studies with the surface forces apparatus give rather detailed information as to the streptavidin monolayer formation, the kinetics of this process (either binding site- or diffusion limited), the selectivity of the reaction at laterally heterogeneous membranes, and the involved inte…
Measuring diversity. A review and an empirical analysis
2021
Abstract Maximum diversity problems arise in many practical settings from facility location to social networks, and constitute an important class of NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization. There has been a growing interest in these problems in recent years, and different mathematical programming models have been proposed to capture the notion of diversity. They basically consist of selecting a subset of elements of a given set in such a way that a measure based on their pairwise distances is maximized to achieve dispersion or representativeness. In this paper, we perform an exhaustive comparison of four mathematical models to achieve diversity over the public domain library MDPLIB, …
