Surface-anchored counterions on weak chiral anion-exchangers accelerate separations and improve their compatibility for mass-spectrometry-hyphenation

2017

In the present work we propose new variants of chiral stationary phases (CSP) with tert-butylcarbamoylquinine (tBuCQN) as chiral selector molecule. Four tBuCQN-CSPs with distinct bonding chemistries are compared in terms of their pH-dependent surface charge by ζ-potential determinations, by achiral and chiral liquid chromatographic tests and LC-ESI-MS hyphenation. In one embodiment tBuCQN was immobilized on 3-mercaptopropylmethylsilyl-modified silica by thiol-ene click reaction (brush type CSP with selector coverage of 0.38mmol/g). In another embodiment, poly-(3-mercaptopropyl)-methylsiloxane was coated onto vinylized silica particles in presence of tBuCQN and radical initiator. The tBuCQN …

Structural Analogies in Annelid Erythrocruorins

1986

Erythrocruorins from many annelid species have been studied by many authors. In spite of the great similarity of most physicochemical properties and of the electron-micrographs of these proteins, some debated experimental data divide the scientific community, e.g. the Mr of the whole molecule (ranging from 2,500 to 4,1000 kDa) and, in consequence, the Mr of the 1/12 molecules, the Mr and number of the smallest covalently bound subunits and the Mr and number of the globin-like monomers (1).

N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed [4+2] Annulation of Enals via a Double Vinylogous Michael Addition: Asymmetric Synthesis of 3,5‐Diaryl Cyclohexenones

2017

A strategy for the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of 3,5-diaryl substituted cyclohexenones has been developed via oxidative [4+2] annulation of enals and alkenylisoxazoles. It is the first example of using NHC organocatalysis in a double vinylogous Michael type reaction, a challenging but highly desirable topic. This unprecedented protocol affords good yields as well as high to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Synthesis of [1,2]oxazolo[5,4-e]indazoles as antitumour agents

2013

Abstract A series of 40 derivatives of the [1,2]oxazolo[5,4-e]indazoles ring system have been prepared with good yields using a versatile and convenient route. Annelation of the [1,2]oxazole ring on the indazole-4-one system was achieved by reaction of the corresponding enaminoketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Derivatives of the title ring system were tested by the National Cancer Institute of Bethesda and one of them (13t) showed growth-inhibitor activity against all the 54 human tumour cell lines generally at low micromolar concentrations.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Dihydropyranothiazoles­ via Azolium Enolate Intermediates

2017

A highly diastereo- and enantiostereoselective synthesis of bicyclic dihydropyranothiazoles combining a thiazole and δ-lactone skeleton via NHC-catalyzed [4+2] annulation of 5-alkenylthiazolones and α-chloroaldehydes has been developed. The heterocyclic products are formed via azolium enolate intermediates in good yields with high diastereo- and enantistereoselectivities.

Novel [6]- and [7]Helicene-Like Quinones via Mono- and Bidirectional Chromium-Templated Benzannulation of Bridged Binaphthyl Carbene Complexes

2005

A new organometallic approach to novel, functionalised, helicene-like quinones and bisquinones has been developed based on the chromium-templated [3+2+1] benzannulation reaction. The [5]helicene-analogous monocarbene chromium complexes 4, 5, 17 and 19, derived from dibromo-substituted methylene- or silylene-tethered binaphthols 2 and 3, react with various alkynes to give [6]helicene-like quinones 6–13 and 20–29 after oxidative work-up. A rare competition of angular vs. linear annulation is observed for the incorporation of phenylacetylene that affords quinones 21/22 and 28/29. Protection of the phenolic benzannulation product with camphanic acid chloride 14, followed by chromatographic sepa…

General Diastereoselective Synthetic Approach toward Isospongian Diterpenes. Synthesis of (−)-Marginatafuran, (−)-Marginatone, and (−)-20-Acetoxymarg…

2012

This work describes a synthetic approach to the carbocyclic skeleton of isospongian diterpenes that uses the commercially available monoterpene (S)-carvone as a C-ring synthon, which is incorporated into the tetracyclic isospongian framework via a C -> ABC -> ABCD ring annulation strategy using intramolecular Diels-Alder and ring-closing metathesis reactions. This approach has been successfully used to prepare both the title natural isospongians and several nonnatural oxygenated analogues. A preliminary evaluation of the inhibitory activity of the small collection of synthesized isospongians on the mammalian mitochondrial respiratory chain revealed that most were able to inhibit the integra…

Pyrano[2,3-e]isoindol-2-ones, new angelicin heteroanalogues

2009

A convenient synthesis of the pyrano[2,3-e]isoindol-2-one ring system, an heteroanalogue of angelicin, is reported. Our synthetic approach consists of the annelation of the pyran ring on the isoindole moiety using 5-dialkylamino- or 5-hydroxymethylene intermediates as building blocks. The photoantiproliferative activity of the new derivatives was studied. Some of them bearing the benzyl group at the 8 position were active with IC(50) in the micromolar range. Cell cytotoxicity involves apoptosis, alteration of cell cycle profile and membrane photodamage.

Effect of π-Electron Delocalization on Tautomeric Equilibria – Benzoannulated 2-Phenacylpyridines

2006

Most benzoannulated 2-methylpyridines react with phenyllithium and substituted alkyl benzoates to give the corresponding 2-phenacylpyridines. 3-Methylisoquinoline is transformed into 2-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline under these conditions, but replacement of phenyllithium with lithium isopropylcyclohexylamide is effective for production of 3-phenacylisoquinolines. Except in the cases of some substituted 6-phenacylphenanthridines, tautomeric mixtures of benzoannulated 2-phenacylpyridines in chloroform solution always contain the ketimine forms.(Z)-2-(2-Hydroxy-2-phenylvinyl)pyridine (enolimine) forms also contribute if the pyridine ring is not benzoannulated or if such ann…
