The first spiroconjugated TTF- and TCNQ-type molecules: a new class of electroactive systems?
2005
[Structure: see text] Spiroconjugated TTF-type electron donors (13a-c) and TCNQ-type electron acceptors (10, 11) have been prepared from spiroquinone 9. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a relatively weak accepting ability for 10 and 11, and a strong electron-donor character for 13a-c. Whereas the spiroconjugation introduces a destabilization of the LUMO for compounds 9-11, the opposite is observed for compound 13, thus justifying the redox potential values.
Straightforward Stereoselective Access to Cyclic Peptidomimetics
2009
The preparation of cyclic dipeptide mimetics from chiral imino lactones derived from (R)-phenylglycinol is described. Key steps of the synthetic route included the fully stereoselective construction of a quaternary center, the formation of six-, seven-, or eight-membered lactams by means of an RCM cyclization, and the introduction of a new amino group within the lactam ring. The synthesis of a tripeptide mimetic is also reported.
Species-Specific Aggregation Factor In Sponges.
1978
In dissociated single cells from the sponge Geodia cydonium, DNA synthesis is initiated after incubation with a homologous, soluble aggregation factor. During the DNA-initiation phase the cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP levels vary drastically; the cyclic AMP content drops from 2.2 pmol/10(6) cells to 0.3 pmol/10(6) cells while the cyclic GMP content increases from 0.6 pmol to 3.7 pmol/10(6) cells. The activity of neither the adenylate cyclase nor of the guanylate cyclase isolated from cells which have been incubated for different periods of time with the aggregation factor, is changed. The soluble as well as the particulate enzyme activities were checked in vitro. The cyclic nucleotide receptor…
(S)-Mandelic acid enolate as a chiral benzoyl anion equivalent for the enantioselective synthesis of non-symmetrically substituted benzoins
2011
A strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of non-symmetrically substituted benzoins from (S)-mandelic acid and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. This strategy is based on a diastereoselective aldol reaction of the lithium enolate of the 1,3-dioxolan-4-one derived from (S)-mandelic acid and pivalaldehyde with aromatic aldehydes, which gives the corresponding aldols in good yields. Subsequent hydroxyl group protection as MEM ethers, basic hydrolysis of the dioxolanone ring, oxidative decarboxylation of the α-hydroxy acid moiety, and hydroxyl group deprotection provides chiral non-symmetrically substituted benzoins with high enantiomeric excesses.
In-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled by in valve mode to capillary LC-DAD: Improving detectability to multiresidue organic pollutants analysis…
2009
Abstract A simple and fast capillary chromatographic method has been developed to identify and quantify organic pollutants at sub-ppb levels in real water samples. The major groups of pesticides (organic halogens, organic phosphorous, and organic nitrogen compounds), some hydrocarbons (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), phthalates and some phenols such as phenol and bisphenol A (endocrine disruptors) were included in this study. The procedure was based on coupling, in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) by using a conventional GC capillary column (95% methyl–5% phenyl substituted backbone, 80 cm × 0.32 mm i.d., 3 μm film thickness) in the injection valve to capillary liquid chromatog…
The PAH composition in limpets (Patella vulgate L.) from the coasts of Sicily (Italy)
2006
This article examines the presence, distribution, nature and sources of 19 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), in Patellae (patella vulgate L.) and seaweed (vulva) sampled in different stations of Sicilian coastal environments and analyzed for their polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content. Analysis was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with selected ion monitoring (SIM), after saponification of the sample and clean up of the extract. In the limpets the total concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ranged from 34 to 750 μg/Kg of dry matrix. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the replicas on the concentrations of individual compounds ranged fr…
A Specific Radioimmunoassay for the Determination of Low Quantities of Indole-3-acetic Acid in Spruce Needles of Healthy and Damaged Trees
1988
Summary The aim of the present investigation was to develop a radioimmunoassay for the quantification of indole-3-acetic acid in needles of Picea abies in damaged and phenotypically healthy trees. Phenols, lipophilic substances or compounds with cross-reactivity had to be separated from the extracts in several purification steps. Measurements were carried out between May and October 1986 on trees from two spruce plantations. Marked differences were found in IAA content in needles of healthy and damaged trees. In most cases the needles of the damaged trees contain lower endogenous IAA levels. The auxin levels also depended on the age of the tree, the year of needle formation, and the vegetat…
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…
Synthese und Reaktionen der 3-O-Phosphoniogluco-und -allofuranosen
1982
Aus den bicyclischen Gluco- (3, 5, 7 und 9) und Allofuranosen 11 werden mit Triphenylphosphan (1), Azodicarbonsaure-diethylester (2) und Alkylierungs- oder Acylierungsmitteln isolierbare 3-O-Phosphoniokohlenhydrate (4, 6, 8, 10 und 12) hergestellt. Durch Erwarmen der allo-konfigurierten Salze 12 konnen an C-3 epimere gluco-konfigurierte Substitutionsprodukte in groser Vielfalt gewonnen werden. Die Reaktionen der gluco-konfigurierten Salze werden stark vom Charakter des einzufuhrenden Nucleophils und von Nachbargruppen im Kohlenhydratgerust beeinflust. Wahrend das Iodid 4a und das Azid 4g unter Substitution zum allo-Derivat 15 reagieren, tritt in den Fallen mit Bromid, Chlorid oder Sulfonat …
ChemInform Abstract: Cycloaddition Reactions with Vinyl Heterocycles
2010
Publisher Summary The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most common and elegant methods for the construction of six-membered rings. Although the number of Diels-Alder cycloadditions with open-chain and alicyclic dienes is very large, the number of examples with aromatic heterocyclic compounds is relatively small. The introduction of a vinyl group as a substituent onto a heterocycle increases the number of possible reactions. This new possibility, however attractive for synthetic purposes, is successful only with π-excessive five-membered heterocyclic derivatives with a few exceptions. The chapter discusses the reactions of vinyl heterocycles with carbodienophiles. The endocyclic and exo-en…
