Ring splitting of azetidin-2-ones via radical anions
2012
The radical anions of azetidin-2-ones, generated by UV-irradiation in the presence of triethylamine, undergo ring-splitting via N-C4 or C3-C4 bond breaking, leading to open-chain amides. This reactivity diverges from that found for the neutral excited states, which is characterised by alpha-cleavage. The preference for beta-cleavage is supported by DFT theoretical calculations on the energy barriers associated with the involved transition states. Thus, injection of one electron into the azetidin-2-one moiety constitutes a complementary activation strategy which may be exploited to produce new chemistry.
Self-assembly of 3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)pyrazolate anions and ammonium cations of β-phenylethylamine or homoveratrylamine into hetero-double-stranded…
2009
Hydrogen-bonded double-stranded hetero-helices are formed when reacting sodium 3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)pyrazolate with beta-phenethylammonium or homoveratrylammonium chloride, in which one of the strands is defined by the ammonium cations and the other one by the pyrazolate anions.
Chiral Monofluorobenzyl Carbanions: Synthesis of Enantiopure β‐Fluorinated β‐Phenylethylamines
2011
The preparation of a stabilized monofluorobenzyl carbanion by means of a remote homochiral sulfinyl group and its completely stereoselective reactions with N-p-tolylsulfinylimines are described. The use of these reactions followed by the simultaneous removal of both chiral auxiliaries with tBuLi, which occurs without epimerization at the benzylic position, provides the quickest entry to enantiomerically pure β-fluorinated β-phenylethylamines.
Effect of antibodies against cytochrome P-450 on demethylation and denitrosation of N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosomethylaniline.
1988
Rat liver microsomes which were induced either with ethanol or PB were incubated with NDMA or NMA. Formaldehyde generation and nitrite formation were measured as metabolic parameters for oxidative bioactivation and denitrosation, respectively. The influence of antiserum PB3a1 and PB22 containing antibodies against the corresponding cytochrome P-450 species on both metabolic functions was investigated. The results showed that the influence on formaldehyde production and denitrosation varied independently in that both parameters were either not affected, or influenced in an opposite way, or inhibited to a different degree. Especially remarkable was the 80% inhibition of formaldehyde generatio…
Enthalpies of transfer of pentanol from water to sodium dodecylsulfate-dodecyl-dimethylamine oxide-water mixtures
1994
At a given surfactant-surfactant ratio, the enthalpies of transfer ΔH (W→W+S) of pentanol 0.03m from water to sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS)-dodecyldimethylamine oxide-water mixtures as functions of the surfactants mixture concentration (m t) were determined. ForX NaDS=0.9, ΔH (W→W+S) increases monotonically withm t such as observed for pure surfactants. ForX NaDS=0.12 and 0.3, ΔH (W→W+S) increases withm t up to 0.12m beyond which it decreases withm t. AtX NaDS=0.6, two monotonic curves can be distinguished in the ΔH (W→W+S)vs. m t trend. Experimental data were fitted through an equation previously reported for additives in pure surfactants derived by assuming the pseudo-phase transition mode…
Ab Initio Liquid Water Dynamics in Aqueous TMAO Solution
2015
Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations in trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)-D2O solution are employed to elucidate the effects of TMAO on the reorientational dynamics of D2O molecules. By decomposing the O-D groups of the D2O molecules into specific subensembles, we reveal that water reorientational dynamics are retarded considerably in the vicinity of the hydrophilic TMAO oxygen (O(TMAO)) atom, due to the O-D···O(TMAO) hydrogen-bond. We find that this reorientational motion is governed by two distinct mechanisms: The O-D group rotates (1) after breaking the O-D···O(TMAO) hydrogen-bond, or (2) together with the TMAO molecule while keeping this hydrogen-bond intact. While the orientatio…
Calculation of the relative basicities of methylamines in solution
1990
Abstract The relative basicities in solution of the methylamines have been calculated using the model of Miertus, Scrocco and Tomasi to describe the solvent effect. The surface of the cavity is defined with the GEPOL method. The ab initio calculations have been performed using a 4-31G basis set. The relative order is reproduced using a combination of the gas-phase proton affinities obtained with quantum-mechanical methods by Eades, Weil, Dixon and Douglass and the solvation values obtained by us. The results seem to point out that the irregular order is not due to solvent but to basis-set effects.
Microwave-assisted, highly enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by chiral aminonaphthols
2008
Abstract New optically active aminonaphthols were obtained by condensation of 2-naphthol, benzaldehyde and ( R )-(+)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine or ( R )-(+)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine. Their N-methylated derivatives were also synthesized. The new aminonaphthols 2 , 4 , 5 and 7 were found to catalyze the enantioselective ethylation of aryl aldehydes to 1-aryl-1-propanols (up to 92% ee). The reactions were accelerated greatly by microwave irradiation.
A study on the fragmentation of sulfuric acid and dimethylamine clusters inside an atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer
2022
Abstract. Sulfuric acid and dimethylamine vapours in the atmosphere can form molecular clusters, which participate in new particle formation events. In this work, we have produced, measured, and identified clusters of sulfuric acid and dimethylamine using an electrospray ionizer coupled with a planar-differential mobility analyser, connected to an atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ESI–DMA–APi-TOF MS). This set-up is suitable for evaluating the extent of fragmentation of the charged clusters inside the instrument. We evaluated the fragmentation of 11 negatively charged clusters both experimentally and using a statistical model based on quantum chemical data. Th…
Storage and release of false transmitters after infusion of (+)- and (?)-?-methyldopamine
1971
Rabbits were given an infusion of 10 mg/kg (−)- or 30 mg/kg (+)-α-methyldopamine and killed after 135 min. The noradrenaline content of the heart was decreased to 26±5 and 34±2%, respectively, of the control value. After infusion of the (+)-isomer the missing noradrenaline was replaced by (−)-α-methylnoradrenaline. Electrical stimulation of the sympathetic nerves or infusion of acetylcholine plus atropine caused an output of noradrenaline and (−)-α-methylnoradrenaline from the isolated heart. The two amines were released in the same proportion as they were stored in the heart and the total output of both amines equalled the output of noradrenaline from control hearts. Nerve stimulation caus…
