Fluorination of some highly functionalized cycloalkanes: chemoselectivity and substrate dependence.
2017
A study exploring the chemical behavior of some dihydroxylated β-amino ester stereo- and regioisomers, derived from unsaturated cyclic β-amino acids is described. The nucleophilic fluorinations involving hydroxy–fluorine exchange of some highly functionalized alicyclic diol derivatives have been carried out in view of selective fluorination, investigating substrate dependence, neighboring group assistance and chemodifferentiation.
N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Quadruple Domino Reactions through α,β-Unsaturated Acyl Azolium Intermediates : Asymmetric Synthesis of Cyclopenta[c…
2018
An N‐heterocyclic carbene catalyzed domino sequence via α,β‐unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates has been developed. This strategy provides a convenient enantioselective route to functionalized tricyclic coumarin derivatives and cyclopentanes. DFT studies and control experiments were performed to gain better insight into the reaction mechanism. peerReviewed
N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Pentacyclic Spirooxindoles via [3+3] Annulations of Isatin-Derived Enals and Cyclic N-Sulfon…
2019
A convenient enantioselective route to new types of pentacyclic spirooxindoles via [3+3] annulation reactions of isatin-derived enals and cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines, using N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has been developed. The new protocol leads to pentacyclic spirooxindoles bearing a quaternary spirostereocenter in good yields and good to high enantiomeric ratios. peerReviewed
Vanadium catalysts for ethylene-norbornene copolymerization
2020
Kopolimery cyklicznych olefin (COCs) stanowią obiecującą grupę materiałów o specyficznych, możliwych do zaprojektowania właściwościach. Szczególnym zainteresowaniem w tej grupie związków cieszą się kopolimery etylenu z norbornenem. Do ich syntezy stosuje się różnorodne kompleksy metali przejściowych, przede wszystkim pierwiastków z grupy 4. Artykuł stanowi przegląd literatury dotyczącej wykorzystania katalizatorów wanadowych z różnego rodzaju ligandami w syntezie kopolimerów etylenu z norbornenem. Opisano wpływ ligandów i warunków prowadzenia reakcji na aktywność oraz wybrane właściwości otrzymanych kopolimerów.
Does Labor Respond to Cyclical Fluctuations? The Case of Italy
2006
The aim of this paper is to analyse whether labour mobility is likely to act as a sufficient adjustment mechanism in the face of asymmetric shocks in Italy. In particular, the paper examines if the interregional migration responds, among other factors, also to the GDP's regional cyclical component. The results show that interregional labour mobility appears to respond adequately to current and past cyclical fluctuations.
Synthetic Approaches to the Lamellarins—A Comprehensive Review
2014
The present review discusses the known synthetic routes to the lamellarin alkaloids published until 2014. It begins with syntheses of the structurally simpler type-II lamellarins and then focuses on the larger class of the 5,6-saturated and -unsaturated type-I lamellarins. The syntheses are grouped by the strategy employed for the assembly of the central pyrrole ring.
Genome-Wide Inhibition of Pro-atherogenic Gene Expression by Multi-STAT Targeting Compounds as a Novel Treatment Strategy of CVDs.
2018
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including atherosclerosis, are globally the leading cause of death. Key factors contributing to onset and progression of atherosclerosis include the pro-inflammatory cytokines Interferon (IFN)a and IFN? and the Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR) Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Together, they trigger activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)s. Searches for compounds targeting the pTyr-SH2 interaction area of STAT3, yielded many small molecules, including STATTIC and STX-0119. However, many of these inhibitors do not seem STAT3-specific. We hypothesized that multi-STAT-inhibitors that simultaneously block STAT1, STAT2, and STAT3 activit…
Synthetic approaches towards huperzine A and B
2013
Huperzine A and B are potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and promising against Alzheimer's disease. Completed and formal total syntheses of these medically relevant alkaloids are presented and discussed.
Human DNA Telomeres in Presence of Oxidative Lesions: The Crucial Role of Electrostatic Interactions on the Stability of Guanine Quadruplexes
2019
By using all atom molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the behavior of human DNA telomere sequences in guanine quadruplex (G4) conformation and in the presence of oxidative lesions, namely abasic sites. In particular, we evidenced that while removing one guanine base induces a significant alteration and destabilization of the involved leaflet, human telomere oligomers tend, in most cases, to maintain at least a partial quadruplex structure, eventually by replacing the empty site with undamaged guanines of different leaflets. This study shows that (i) the disruption of the quadruplex leaflets induces the release of at least one of the potassium cations embedded in the quadruplex channe…
Volume Changes in Filled Rubber Under Uniaxial Cyclic Loading
2011
Styrene-butadiene rubber, neat and filled with different silica content was investigated under uniaxial cyclic loading under a constant crosshead speed, with increasing deformation amplitude in subsequent loading cycles. Rubber was investigated in order to evaluate the reversibility of structure rearrangements, occurring in rubber when subjected to cyclic loading. Volume uniformly increases with growing strain and shows hysteresis at unloading. After complete unloading, no residual strain changes are observed. These data are in good conformity with the data of density measurements, which were made on specimens before and after the tests. By correlating data, obtained from volume changes and…
